Mr. Bryan began his speech at
Portsmouth at : O'Clock. and had 10

was sounded on a housetOp across the
street There were other noisy DEM

Perhaps that is simply touch OF
militarism. " This turned the hugh
OF the crowd upon the bugler and nc
was heard no more.
Mr. Bryan entered upon an elaborate
argument to show that the Republican
party had forfeited the confidence of
the people at large, while the Demo-

the evils of the present time. He
spoke for about an hour and at the
close Of the meeting left for Chillicothe,

MelXslI0HN'S ANSWER
To Bryan calls Mostly With Constitution md
Amendments.

Chicago. oct. 12-Hon. George d.
Meiklej1hn. assistant secretary of war.
has mailed the following letter to W. J.
Bryan. which the latter will receive.
today:
Chicago, Ill. oct. H.
Dear Sir-Tn your communication to
me Of the 10th inst. you refer to the
faJt shat the Republican party adheres
to its doctrine that the constitution
cannot be extended to new territory ac-
quircd by the treaty making power oI
our government nor by the military
commanders Of our armies. Won than
declare that therefore the President
was not obliged to refuse his approval
to that portion Of the Sulu agreement
which permitted the temporary contin-
uance Of the alleged slavery in the Sulu
islands. The point to which | called
your attention in my communication
was that the President did refuse his
approval and therefore that portion Of
the agreement is not existing. ! am
gratified that you direct attention to
the fact that the present Administered
ton does not require the force OF con-
stituticnal provision to prompt it to
recognize the right Of men. Permit
me, however. To call your attention to
the concluding worCs Of the amend
ment to the constitution to which you
refer: Neither slavery nor involun-
tary servitude shall exist within the
United States or any place subject To
their jurisdiction"
While amendments to the constitu
ton are under consideration viii you
give an explanation Of the discrepancy
between your platform, this year, and
the one which Tilden made his can
vass. Your platform declares: We
the representatives Of The Democratic
party Of the United States assembled
in national convention on the anniver-
sary Of the adoption of the declaration
Of independence, do reaf!irm our faith

IaE GaEAIEST TRUST
osfined by Secretary Lyman J. Gage al Bridge
port. Conn.

Bridgeport Conn, Oct. 12-Lyman
J. Gage. secretary of the treasury. ad-
dressed large Republican meeting in
this city, this evening. He confined
himself almost wholly to discussion
OF the currency bin passed last March.
Mr.. Gage declared that in the letter
Of their platform the parties are not at
issue on the questions concerning the
Philippines Cuba and the trusts. The
greatest trusts in the United States, he
said, was the pooling of interests by
the Populist. Democratic and silver
partisan. with Bryan as the trustee.
Touching upon the former sound
money Democrats who have gone back
to the party upon the plea that even
If elected, Bryan could not change the
currency conditions. MIR Gage said:
TO elect Bryan would almusts neces-
sarily involve the election of a majority
in the Senate in sympathy with him
He is pledged To repeal the Dingley
tariff act and to open the minis to sill
yer. 1t is my honest opinion that Bry
an, with his perverse ingenuity, could
in few months debase the money OF
the country and destroy its credit, then
him. know of men who say they will
vote for him and who say that he could
not restore the free coinage of silver
unless elected with a sympathetic SEN
ate for Il second term. They have con-
fidenCe in the currency act Of March
II, 1900. to prevent it. That law in the
hands of a right minded public officer
is a good and adequate one. but ii is
hard TO hold by law i man who is dis
posed to break the law. l am firmly
convinced that it is better to have the
affairs of the government administered
by a man who loves the law than by
one who would trample it under his
feet"
Concerning the currency act. Mr.
Gage denied the Democratic assertion
that it was intended to perpetuate the
public debt.
When the act took effect" he said
there was debt of sS39. 000.0 900 due
within eight years. 1t would be wrong
to attempt to meet this by taxation at
once. which would necessitate the rails
ing Of over 500, 100000 year. Since
then 1888, 900, 600 of it has already been
refunded. and if the Republican party
is given a second term. $4,000, GOO Will
be refunded. When this is reached the
operation of the act may be suspend
ed"
The secretary asserted that the con-
stitutional questions applying to Puer
to Rico. Samoa. Guam and the Phil
ippines will soon be settled by the SUI
preme court. and that until its d.ctum
is announced the party under which
they have arisen should be entitled to
its own Interpretation of the law.

1t is not possible as yet, or We have
not advanced far enough, to be able to
settle all our difficulties peaceably by
arbitration. but in every case we
should avoid appeal to arms where
possible for we, as party, are pledg-

becomes a last resort. We believe in
