UNITY AGAINST BRYAN URGED.
Address to Gold Democrats Issued by
Their National Committee.


Gold Democrats. through their na-
tional committee, are urged to unite
to defeat Bryan and rebuke Bryan
ism, which is anything but true De-
mocracy. Messrs. Charles Tracy,
chairman of the executive committee,
l.. M. Martin, chairman of the cam
paign committee, and John p. Frenzcl,
secretary, have made public the fol-
lowing address to gold Democrats,
and all others who esteem financial
and national honor above party name.
The address follows:
Four years ago your patriotic po-
sition saved the country from the
peril of Mr.. Bryan's election. He
stands now for all he advocated in
1876, and, accepting the Populist
nomination, has addad thereto his
declaration in favor of an unlimited
issue of greenback currency.
He is pledged by his own declara-
tions to destroy the gold standard; to
effect the free coinage Of silver at the
artificial ratio of 16 to 1; to the ex-
pulsion of both gold and silver from

ligence, good sense, strong fibre and
rcsolute will of this people.
"Wherefore, in view of such con-
siderations as they appear to me, and
others l might name and more at
length, 1 propose. as an old-fashioned
Democrat, to vote next month for
the Republican electors. as did vote
for such electors four years ago.
Whatever other Democrats of the
old faith may think or do, such seems
to me the best course 30 pursue at this
juncture." Very truly yours,

BElKNAP FOR Mckinley.

Rear Admiral George E. Belknap
will vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt.
His reasons for doing so are briefly
and tersely stated in the following
words:
"You ask me for IAN expression of
opinion as to the duty, during the
present presidential campaign, Of
of Democrats who still cherish the
the faith of jefferson and Cleveland,
whether they should vote tor the re-
election of President Mckinley or
vote for Mr.. Bryan
"In response to such request, beg
to say briefly that, in my judgment,
the questions that confront the
country most distinctly and most
menacingly today, are those affecting
the stability of the currency and the
integrity of the courts. 1t is idle to
say that such questions have now
been relegated to the contentious of
the past, in view of the fact that the
SIC to 1'and government by injunc-
tom heresies adopted by the Chicago
convention Of 1896, were insisted up
on by MIR. Bryan with imperial
strenuousness, and reaffirmed in sub
mission to his imperious demand by
the Kansas City convention of this
current year.
"The tumultuous beatings Of the
tom-toms of alleged Imperialism have
but hollow sound; they but strike
notes of simulated distress OF no
more resounding force than the con-
fined clangings Of the alarm bells of
the scenic stage. TO suppose, indeed,
that Congress, changed in its mem-
bership every two years, and holding
the purse and therefore the sword of
the nation, would ever permit a
policy of real Imperialism to be pur-
sued in any direction by the Execu-
tive, is to discredit the common intel

FOLDED TRANSFERS.
They Incrense Conductors work
md Arc TrNinE 10 IIiR Vernper.

"Some people have no sympathy for
street car conductors" said one OF their
number after he had had a peculiarly
lively time IN making change and Civ
ing and collecting transfers says the
New York Times
"Now." continued the conductor,
there is one little matter that would
save us lots of trouble If thc people
would only bear it In mind. and thot is
the way they hand in their transfers.
"Some men and few women know
enough to hand us the little strips of
paper just as they receive them-that
Is, spread out I'm such a way that we
can glance at them, see that they are
all right and then place them with the
package already collected The ma
jority of people don't do this, and as a
rule the women are the worst of the
lot.
"When woman gets a transfer she
folds 1t up into as small n space as
possible and then slows 1t away in her
purse. When the time comes to collect
this from her, she fishes the wad of pa
per out of the purse, hands it to the
conductor and sits back in her seat
content with what she has done.
"The conductor has to unfold this
piece of paper to see If 1t is really the
proper transfer. This takes time, and
when there are dozen women on the
car all doing the same thing the poor
conductor has more than he can do TO
keep his temper Men as rule don't
fold their transfers, but content them
selves with showing the slips into their
pockets and then producing n crumpled
piece of paper when it is called for,
tossing 1t to the conductor, who has to
smooth it into shape.
THE same people would never think
of handing in railroad or theater tick
ct in the same way"
