Speculation opinion showed Itself to-
day rather unsettled and doubtful as
reflected by the operations Of profess
sIonal traders The news Of the day 80
far as It affected values Of securities
was oil favorable. but It failed to at
tract any demand for stocks from the
general issue. This induced a spirit Of
caution amongst professional operators
about taking on large lines OF stock in
view OF the doubtful market afforded
for realizing. The bears were inclined
to make overtures, encouraged by this
doubtful spirit But while they sue
ceeded in forcing large declines in a
few special stocks they failed to In
duca any general liquidation. The I'M
dertone OF the market was distinctly
firm and the opening gains which were
pretty generally wiped out, were large
ly recovered again In the final dealings.
London was disposed to buy stocks
here and while the volume Of the buy
ing was not important the tendency
WINS considered to be so, in view Of the
condition in the exchange market and

Says Bryan Sacrifices Self Respect
I'm Insane Desire For Office.
Watertown, S. D., Oct Ex-senator
Hanna's train stopped at IA towns in
Minnesota and South Dakota yester-
day, with Watertown for the principal
stopping place. At nearly every town
Of any Importance through the valley
Of the Minnesota river and across the
prairies of western Minnesota and east
ern South Dakota Senators Hanna and
Frye and Victor Dolliver, of Iowa,
made speeches varying in length from
two to twenty minutes. Large crowds
were present at nearly every stopping
place.
At Mankato Senator Hanna said:
IF change from the present policy
and the present administration Is made
and Mr.. Bryan is put at the head of the
government of the United States. not
only will financial panic follow inn
mediately, but our industries will be
Frustrated and will not recover in ten
years. How ridiculous it is to talk
about yielding to the ambitions of any
man simply because ne has an insane
desire to be president, TO talk of tear
ing down all that we have built UP in
these 40 years, to talk OF withdraw
ing the United States from the place
where Mr.. Mckinley has put it, in the
very firing line of nations. In 1896
there were some people in this country
who believed Mr.. Bryan was at least
honest in his opinions. Every day
adds to the number Of men who voted
for him in 1895 and who now say they
do not believe he was ever honest in
his intentions, that he has been play
ing the part OF hypocrite, and that
Tor this same insane desire for Office
he will sacrifice even his own self re-
spect."

The Greatest Demonstration Since
Blaine's Reception I'm 1856.

lNCCepAlOn 1855.
Columbus, o., Oct 17.-Not once
since the great Blaine demonstration
In 1886 has this city been so crowded
with visitors as 1t was last night, the
occasion OF the appearance here of
Governor Roosevelt. Ten speeches
made to large audiences since leaving
Cincinnati at s o'clock in the morning
had not impaired the governors vocal
organs, nor did he show any evidence
OF fatigue when he was introduced at
the auditorium at $50 p. m. An i'm
patient throng had been awaiting him
nearly two hours.
The Roosevelt special arrived here at
1880, and for two hours the governor
rode in brilliant illuminated electric
car In a great parade through the prin-
cipal streets of the ely. This parade
was more than two hours passing a
given point, and It's course was marked
by a blaze of colored fire, rockets, fir
Ing OF cannon and bursting of bombs.
When he strobe across the platform
the governor was greeted with a roar
or applause, yet he looked upon a far
smaller number of persons than com
posed the crowd that had been unable
to find standing room in the building.
When Governor Roosevelt rose to
speak he was given such an enthusiasts
tic greeting that for five minutes he
could not make his voice be heard in
his endeavor to restore order. His
speech was enthusiastically received,
but the applause was so frequent that
those in the rear of the hall could hear
only small portion of it.
