Closed the Day at Pittsburg.

PITTSBURG. Kan, Sept. 17.-William J..
Bryan arrived here tonight, and after TAX
ing dinner made a speech to one of the
largest crowds he has yet addressed. He
did not conclude his address until 10 o'clock,
making seventeen hours of campaign work
put in during the day. He spoke briefly
from the platform of the train at the towns
of Baxter, Columbus. Scamraon and Weir
City on his way from Galena. All. told, he
made during the day two set speeches and
thirteen platform talks. There were good
crowds at all the stopping places. In his
speech here he traversed most of the
political issues of the day, but his remarks
were addressed especially TO the zinc and
lead miners. who are very numerous in
this section. 1t therefore dealt largely with
labor and trust questions.
While Mr.. Bryan was discussing the trust
question some one in the crowd shouted
an inquiry about the New York ice trust. +"
Mr.. Bryan replied: THE ice trust is a local
affair and concerns the people of New
York, and / know that If IL was a bad thing
the Governor of New York would not be
going over the West making Republican
speeches, but would go back there and
destroy that trust

ENCOURAGING REPORTS.

Republican advices from various parts
Of the State the past week are of a very
encouraging character. If there is any
spot where the Republicans will not do
as well as they did in 1855 it has not been
found. Republican meetings are generally
well attended. and the interest is all that
could be asked Unless all reports and in
dications fail, the Republicans will make
gains over 1896 in the agricultural districts.
Four years ago the Republicans were
cakes among the farmers. This was
because the silver heresy had taken a
stronger hold of farming communities,
which had been suffering several years Of
unusual depression. Coins mischievous
book had been widely circulated and gen.
orally read by farmers before the friends
of sound money began active work. When
they did. 1t was too late to win back
many Republicans. Ii is now known that
several thousand CHANGED" 1t and voted
secretly for Bryan, hoping that Bryan
ism would bring better times. Mckinley
was elected, better times came to farmers
so much better times that all they have
to sell brings so per cent. more than 1t
did four years ago. Very naturally. the
Republican canvassers report gains over
1896 In most every agricultural precinct.
In the cities and manufacturing towns
the Republicans Gid as Wei in 1895 as they
can expect to do I'm 1890, bat even in In
diauapolis the careful precinct canvass
shows that some men who voted for Bry-
an In 1896 will vote for Mckinley this
year. There are more OF such changes
than one would imagine. and there is
reason 10 believe that the changes OF that
character will Offset the Gold Democrats
OF 1896 who will now vote for Bryan. The
Bryanites are making considerable noise,
but present indications are that anti-im-
periaIism has proved a blunder.
Never were so many Indiana voters read
ing the Journal as to-day. They are
largely Republicans. and there are so many
