During the day at the various stopping

his speech at Leadville to-day, said:
When come out here among you I
feel that come not to teach you Amer

of work, Of honorable striving and
honorable effort and to follow where
you have led the way. want You TO
think for yourselves. Supposlng that
the Republican party had done what
our opponents desire us TO do now, that
is. abandon the Philippines? They
would now be denouncIng us in ex-
trnvasant terms and blaming, uB. all OF
them. from Mr.. Bryan down. In that
case they would have been as right rs
they are wrong now. Remember that
in this union there can be no division
OF either honor or interest on state
lines. We win al go up or go down to-

regards material prosperity and We Will
hang our heads or hold them high ac-

greatness, Of truth and liberty. When
In 1893 hard times came they came In
New York, Colorado and California
alike. When In 1897 prosperity return

MS 1t returned to the seaboard states Of
the Atlantic and Pacific. 1t returned to

Have to Fight Alone.
BERLIN. Sept. 27.-Thc German press
and foreign office still continue to deny
that Great Britain has rejected Gernla-
ny's proposal. They also continue to
blame the United States for the recently
revived Chinese obduracy and the re-
newed evidences that the Chinese In
tend to resume hostilities on a large
plan.
The Berliner Tageblatt alone advises
Germany not to expect 4 favorable an
swer to her proposition from Lord Sails
bury, "as his wish to carefully nurse in
innate relations with the United States
forms the keynote Of his policy"
kreuz Zeitung. which had all along
advocated moderate policy In China,
now advises q strong hand. claiming
that History teaches that China can
only by force be induced to give re-
dress for outrages on foreigners"
From two high diplomatic sources It
was learned to-day that all the answers
which have been received to Germany's
proposition have one feature In common.
While accepting In principle the demand
for n proper punishment of the ring
leaders, they refuse to postpons all
peace negotiations until after the set
tlement of this one point, The replies
OF Japan and France are In agreement
as to this. Therefore It cannot be
truthfully said that Count Won Buelow's
latest move has proved an unqualified
