DETROIT. Mich. Sept. 20.-United States
Senator Wellington has opened his four
days campaign in Michigan with two
large meetings at Hudson and Detroit
He came into the State from Chicago
yesterday morning and addressed large
audience at Hudson at p. N. Hudson is
an important city near the Indiana line,
and special excursions from netghboring
towns brought large numbers OF visitors.
Mr.. Wellington delivered forceful ad-
dress and was warmly greeted by the
people
His meeting in the Michigan metropolis
at night was one OF the largest ever held
here. Notwithstanding a heavy rain
storm the huge Detroit Light Guard
Armory was packed to its capacity. Among
the vice presidents of the occasion were
sixty prominent Gold Democrats and twen-
ty Republicans, who voted against Bryan
four years ago, but are now supporting
him
Toledo's mayor, Samuel NJ. Jones' pre-
ceded Senator Wellington with vigorous
exposition OF his support of Bryan.
The meeting was distinctly anti-impe-
rialistic gathering The audience gave
cheer after cheer when the Maryland Sena-
tor made the assertion that it was pre-.
postcrous to assume that Mr. Bryan, if
elected. would seek to nullify the gold

He predicted that the Bryan Demo-

publiCans OF this year. would unite in
Bryan. MIR. Wellington also announced
his confidence that Bryan would be
elected. He handled the Administration
and its foreign policy without gloves, de-
ClaTeC that Mr.. Mckinley if not a bad
man was 2 weak man. and that in such
times as these weakness was worse than
tyranny.
His speech abounded in eloquent pc
Tiods and incisive inveeLive against tue
present policy of the Republican party.
He reviewed the story of his opposition

and declared that il the President had
kept promises the Philippines would be
free
At one point in his speech wha~e he
eulogized the flag a great American
standard was unrolIed from the ceiling
and greeted with vociferous cheering.
As soon as this lulled a little the Sena-
tor said:
Yes the flag is still there, and, thank
God, there is enough of manhood ami in
tegrity among the American people 20
keep is still there as an emblem of lib
erty.''
His peroration was an eloquent ar
raignment of the Administration truck
ling to England and an appeal for Amer
lea to be ruled by Americans instead of
6y British proconsuls." This was re-
ceiyed with great enthusiasm in this
border city, where neither English nor

BOSTON. Sept 20.-Moorfeld Storey,
lawyer and literary man, who would not
accept the Presidential nomination at the
indianapolis convention of Independents,
has come out for Bryan
He says that Imperialism is the cnly
issue in the campaign and that If Bryan
is elected the Philippine war will stop
Mr.. Storey's statement is in part as fol-
lows:
II am not disturbed by Mr.. Bryan's
course as to the ratification of the treaty
with Spain. His position was explained
at the tISde apG IS entirely defensible. The
treaty gave US absolute power over the
Philippines, and the Republican Senators
who urged ratification were arguing that
ii ended the war without in anyway COM
mitting US % any course in the Islands.
Mr. Bryan urged ratification, coupled with
d declaration OF our purpose TO give the
islands their independence His policy
was that often adopted by the anti-slavery
men, who would buy slave and then free
him instead of trying to persuade his
master to free him.
rHad Mr.. Bryan's advice been taken
there would have been no Philippine war
and the issue which makes his election
possible would not have existed Hence
there seems no ground for charging him
with acting with interested motives.
THE Republican leaders are trying to
stife the conscience OF their followers by
appealing to their fear of pecuntary loss
We did not abandon the Revolutionary war
because our continental currency became
proverbialIy worthless, nor did the fear OF
business reverses prevent our prosecuting
the civil war. The American people VIII
be less virtuous than their fathers II they
persevere in policy OF wrong for fear that
they may lose money by doing right IL Is
a bad sign hat such arguments are weigh
ed against the claims of justice.
The cry that the only issue is the full
dinner pail is an insult 20 the American
irtelleok and conscience.
Another false argument against Mr..
Bryan is that he will pack the Supreme
Court I yield to no one in jealous soliti-
tude for that great tribunal. but the Pres
dent alone cannot injure Il. He can at
most nominate judges when vacancies cc-
cur; but no man can taze SCAT on the

men who will sustain the novel views OF
constitutional law upon which his imperial
policy is defended than that Mr.. Bryan will
injure the court, Certainly such ap-
pointment as Mr. Mckinley has made to
the Federal bench in New York against the
protest of the bar, to say nothing Of other
appoin ntments does not encourage US TO ex-
pect any improvement of the bench at his
hands. -

''It consisted of barrel little over six

point about the big gun was the fact that
it was of English manufacture and had the
name of the London maker plainly stamp

covered with native fligree work, how

Il doubt whether the thing would carr,

make horrible noise, and its bare ap-

ordinary man. I sold the machine to a
Charleston gentleman who has one OF the
finest collections of aFsns in the South
