them. Secretary Robinson then retired and
proceeded to the Quincy house, where the
distribution of tickets of admission , to the
convention hail to delegates holding cre-
dentials was begun.
A few minutes before 11 o'clock Hon.
"George Fred Williams, with Secretary Den-
nison of the Bryan-S< wall-Williams club,
and a number ot delegates left the Ameri-
can house for Music hall. They declared all
delegates holding credentials should be ad-
mitted to the hall. About the name time
the gold men al the Quincy house were
preparing to march to the hall. The gold
men at the Quincy house sent a committee
of two members to Music ball to ascertain
if the convention could be held and if the
gold delegation would lie admitted without
delay when it appeared at the door. The
committee reported that they could not get
near the doors. The gold delegates then
decided to march to the hall at noon and
demand admission if they were not notified
before then that they could not get in.
At 12.30 the Quincy house delegation, num-
bering over 500 and headed by Senator
Joseph J. Corbett and a brass band, started
from the Quincy house, passing by the
city hall, where they were reviewed by
Mayor Quincy, going to Music hall, where
the Williams delegates were holding ses-
sions. both inside and outside the hall.
The parade then returned to Faneuil hall,
here they will hold their convention.
Hon. J. li. Mellen of Worcester was
elected temporary chairman by the Music
hall delegates. A commit tee was appointed
to look after another hall, at which all sil-
er delegates could meet. The Music hall
legates nominated George Frederick Will-
iams for governor.
The democratic convention in Faneuil hall
Indorsed Bryan and Sewall and the Chi-
. ago platform by a large majority, and the.
gold standard members of the state com-
mittee, together with the gold delegates,
withdrew in a body.
Boston, Mass., Sept. 26.—Unique and pic-
turesque as have been scores of notable po-
litical contests in the city of Boston, none
approached tiiiit which last night and to-
day wrought up the entire community to
its wildest pitch of excitement, and never
has there been such animus as was
shown at the close of the day when three
conventions held in different sections of the
city nominated the same man for the head
of the ticket, and that man was George
Fred Williams for governor. The faction-
al tight in the ranks of the hitherto united
Massachusetts democracy can be traced
back to the Chicago convention last July,
when in the struggle between gold and sil-
ver George Fred Williams and a few others
left the majority of the Massachusetts del-
egation and voted for the free coinage of
silver. Since that time the "rift in the
lute" has gradually become wider and more
bitter and charges of "traitors" and
"would-be dictators" were bandied about
freely. The climax was reached last even-
ing when in the big Bryan rally in Music
hall Mr. Williams accused the leaders with
wanting to control the state convention and
requested all those who were in favor of
his nomination to stay all night in their
seats so that no move might be made which
would deprive them of fulfilling the pro-
gramme that had been marked out by the
silver leaders. This 600 of his followers
obeyed to the letter and throughout the
long night the vigil was kept. Every kind
of ingenuity was tried to make the men
vacate the hall. The police were called
upon to clear the hall, but the young law-
yers in the silver element made that move
unsuccessful, and as a result the doors
were locked and kept so until 3.30 this af-
ternoon.
Bright and early to-day scores of dele-
gates from out of town assembled around
Music hall expecting the doors to be
opened at any moment, that a compromise
might ensue. Overtures were made by the
members of the state central committee
and they were rejected by the men in pos-
session of the hall, who were fearful of
treachery. The men on the outside then
organized in Hamilton place in response to
the suggestion of Hon. Timothy \\ . Coak-
ley. the local leader of the silver men, and
indorsed what was done in the hall. The
state committee then went to Faneuil hall,
where a convention was held anil where
the national candidates and the Chicago
platform were indorsed, and Hon. George
Fred Williams was nominated for guber-
natorial honors. This action was protested
by a number of gold standard democrats,
who withdrew in a body and placed a
ticket favorable to Palmer and Buckner in
the Held in nomination papers.
In Wesleyan hall the state convention of
the people's party was held, and immedi-
ately they heard Williams was nominated
as the free silver candidate for governor
they followed suit and placed him at the
head of their ticket.
After adjournment of the democratic
state convention the gold standard wing of
the party decided to place in the Held in
nomination papers a ticket favorable to
the nominee and platform of the Indianapo-
lis convention early this month. This
ticket includes presidential electors and
state officers, the latter being: Governor,
Fred Prine: lieutenant governor. James I.
Connell: secretary. Waldo Lincoln; treas-
urer, Horace P. Toby; auditor. Charles C.
Spellman; attorney general, Harry F. Hurl-
burt.
A DELEGATE KILLED.
In Hi* Efforts to Get Out. He Falls
From a Fire Escape.
Boston, Mass., Sept. 26.—Not for eighteen
years, at least, if ever in the history of the
democratic party in Massachusetts, has the
day of the state convention dawned with
so many sensational preliminaries to the
formal organization of the assembly of del-
egates and so many uncertainties as to
the developments of the convention. As
result of the refusal of the state commit
tee, which is controlled by gold standard
men, to admit delegates to the convention
hall by credentials alone and not by ticket,
and the sensational speech of George Fred
Williams, silver leader and candidate for
democratic nomination for governor, day
light found over 500 silver delegates in
trenched in Music hall, where the conven
tion is to meet at 11 o'clock, determined to
remain until the meeting adjourns, in spit
of all opposition, while the state commit
tee of gold men were in conference at tin
Quincy house trying to formulate a plan to
get the belligerents out of the hall and
meet the eirergency.
When the silver men announced last night
that they intended to remain in the hall
until the convention was over, a large force
of police began to form on one side of the
hall and on the streets nearby, and it was
rumored that the delegates would be eject-
ed by the officers. But representative sil
ver men conferred with General Martin of
tb" board of police, and iri spite of the ef-
forts of the gold men to secure an orde
for the ejection of the • '•nositiori delegate
the bluecoats were instructed to withdraw
and the waiting silw r men proceeded to kill
rime by speech making, card playing and
singing. Then the manager of the building
requested them to disperse, and when the
refused policemen were stationed at th
doors under order to allow any one who
wished to to go out. but not to permit any
to return. Caterers bearing luneh ordered
by the silver delegates were refused ad-
mission, and then the tired and hungry
politicians began to exercise their ingenuity
in efforts to smuggle refreshments into the
building.
The most tragic and serious incident of
the night resulted from those persistent at-
tempts to secure supplies. James Hughes,
a delegate from Somerville. lost his life in
an effort to get out of the hall by the lire
escape in th- rear. Hughes was preparing
to jump to the ground, if. feet below, when
his foot slipped, and in trying to save him-
self he seized a wire dangling near. The
wire was a live one. and. with an agonized
cry. Hughes fell senseless on the tire es-
cape and then tumbled to the ground where
he died before any one could reach him.
The delegates within the hall were aroused
to the highest pitch of excitement when
Hon. J. H. Mellen announced it from the
platform, and declared it murder, for which
the gold members of the state committee
were responsible.
There were several speeches in criticism
of the committee, and resolutions on the
death of Hughes were finally agreed upon,
to be presented to the convention to-day.
The gathering soon quieted down again,
and while card playing was resumed by
many, the majority went to sleep. Soon
after a break was marie in the lines of the
enemy at some unknown point, and large
baskets of sandwiches and cans of coffee
were carried into the hall. Evidently there
was a secret entrance by which delegates
cotdd return to the hall also, for the num-
ber slowly increased toward 6 o'clock, and
an hour later Hon. T. W. Coakley reported
that a roll call showed 550 delegates with
credentials present. At 2.30 a. m. there
were apparently no more than 300 in the
building. Shortly after 7 o'clock Secretary
Nathan C. Robinson of the state commit-
tee, a gold man, appeared at the hall and
asked the managers if they would be ready
to deliver the hall, cleared of silver men,
to the committee at 11 o'clock, the hour
at which the convention was scheduled to
open. Manager Mudgett stated that there
were over 500 men in the hall who iiad ere-
• dentlals to the convention as delegates, arid
lie did not aoe how he could legally remove
Tlie Silver Forces.
Boston. Mass., Sept. 26.—The 500 dele-
aves favoring George Fred Williams, who
'held the fort" in Music hall all night
here, were called to order by Timothy W.
Coakley. Three cheers were given for
Bryan and Sewall with great vim. After
organization had been perfected Timothy
W. Coakley placed Hon. George Fred Wil-
liams in nomination for governor, and the
nomination was immediately made, with
three ringing cheers.
C. T. Callahan of Holyoke was nominated
for lieutenant governor: Dr. Joseph H.
Potts of Lynn for secretary of state; Thos.
S. Watson of Braintield for treasurer and
receiver general; for attorney general. Jorn
D. U'Donnell of Braintield. and for auditor,
Morris B. Cavanaugh of Quincy.
Faneuil Hull Convention.
Boston, Mass., Sept. 26.—The convention
in Faneuil hall organized with Judge Cor-
coran as chairman. A motion to indorse the
nomination of Bryan and Sewall and the
Chicago platform drew out a protest from
Thomas Gargan, who a few days ago re-
signed from the state committee. It was
adopted, whereupon Mr. Gargan and oth-
ers of the. gold standard delegates retired
from the hall. A communication from the
sixteen gold members of the state commit-
tee was received by the secretary. In it
the committee tendered their resignations
and stated their reasons. A committee was
appointed to name electors at large. George
Fred Williams was nominated lor governor
and Christopher T. Callahan of Holyoke for
lieutenant governor, and a committee was
appointed to complete the ticket. A dele-
gate asked if the convention was the one
called for 11 o'clock at Music hall. Ex-
Mayor Coughlin of Fall River said in reply
that every attempt of the state committee
to obtain possession of Music hall had been
fruitless and he defended the action of the
state committee in changing the meeting
place to Faneuil hall.
BRYAN WRITES A LETTER.
Reply to the German-American Bryan
2ind Alt&cld Club.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 26.—The German-
American Bryan and Altgeld club has re-
ceived a letter from Mr. Bryan in an an-
swer to an address of club members laid
before him at St. Louis September 24. In
this address they assured him of their
support. The letter is dated Lincoln. Neb.,
Sept. 26, but was really written at Brook-
lyn. and is as follows:
"To the German-American Bryan and
Altgeld Club of Cook County—Gentlemen:
1 am in receipt of your address assuring
me of your support in this presidential
contest and I beg to express to you, in-
dividually and collectively, my appreciation
of your friendly interest. • The fact that
you or your immediate ancestors have
lived under governments less directly re-
sponsible to the people enables you to
compare the advantage of our free gov-
ernment with those oi the fatherland. My
confidence in the good judgment of our
German-Americans leads me to believe that
they will be found among the stanchest
supporters of bimetallism, and my faith
in their patriotism makes m> certain that
they will favor an independent financial
policy. 1 have been much gratified to
notice the rapid growth of the silver senti-
ment among the Germans. 1 beg to' call
your attention to the letter recently writ-
ten by Prince Bismarck to Governor Cul-
berson of Texas. (Mr. Bryan here quotes
the letter in full.) The high standing or
tills great statesmen among the German
people and the respect felt for Ills opinion
throughout the world give great weight to
his words, if the gold standard had been
a blessing to Germany he certainly would
not desire his country to abandon the gold
standard and restore bimetallism. It is
humiliating to think that American citizens
doubt the ability of the United States to
legislate for itself when a statesman like
Bismarck is willing to concede the I'nited
States the ability to lead in the restora-
tion of bimetallism. The testimony given
by Bismarck as to the failure of the gold
standard to benefit Germany is likewise
true of every nation which has tried the
gold standard. The gold standard means
dear money and dear money means hard
times.
"This is the universal experience where
it has been tried, and only those who desire
hard times and profit by them can in the
end support the present financial policy of
the republican party, who expect to main-
tain it so long as the maintenance of that
policy is insisted upon by foreign powers.
Thanking you for your cordial greeting,
1 am, yours very truly,
"WILLIAM J. BRYAN."
fevre, Carl Lightfoot, D. K. Miller and
John McKinney. The procession passed by
the republican club building, where a num-
ber of workmen were standing.
Good natured bantering and cheers for
McKinley were indulged in by the work-
men. After a part of the procession had
passed, a body of mounted men. who were
in the advance, turned back and charged
in a body on the crowd of men. women
and children, who were on the club
grounds. The mounted men were at once
supported by others who were on foot in
the procession. Several warrants have been
issued.
Tour of the Veteran Soldiers.
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 26.—Governor Alger
and party were met at Wilmar by the
Grand Army post, a band and about 1000
citizens. A short stop was made and Gen-
erals Sickles and Stewart made speeches
from a platform hastily erected at the
depot. Great enthusiasm prevailed.
Mayor Doran, ex-Governor Merriam and
a number of other St. Paul citizens went
to Duluth to escort the party to this city,
arriving here with them late in the even-
ing. The party was met by a delega-
tion of veterans, and after dinner went di-
rectly to the Auditorium, where an enthu-
siastic concourse of over 6000 people had as-
sembled and cheered heartily the speeches
of the veteran campaigners. The list of
vice presidents for the meeting included
both democrats and republicans, and all
parties were represented in the crowd.
Fusion in St. Louis.
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 26.—A joint meeting
of the city democratic and popullstic com-
mittees has agreed that the populists shall
have five of the fifteen candidates for the
legislature from St. Louis and one out of
six senators.

trict. democrats nominated General Joseph
Wheeler for congress-.

DAMAGE AT SAN MARCOS.
One Hundred nnd Fifty Homeless
People—TruIns Delayed.
Austin, Tex., Sept. 26.—Captain Clem
Allen, who was an eye witness to the big
washout on the International to-day, came
in from San Marcos to-night. According
to his statement, the washout occurred in
the lower portion of San Marcos instead of
six miles below, as it first appeared. It
was not a waterspout, but a tremendous
and steady downpour of rain, which lasted
for two hours and a half, commencing at
7.30 o'clock It was heaviest between the
International and Katy depots and carried
away a number of cabins occupied by ne-
groes and Mexicans, rendering at least a
hundred and fifty people homeless.
A mile oi' the International track was
thought to be washed away and the Katy
track sustained damage estimated at $10.-
000. The platform of the Katy depot was
also washed away, together with consid-
erable cotton.
It seems almost a miracle that no lives
were lost. So far no dead bodies have
been found and no one is known to be
missing. Captain Allen thinks it will be
at least two days before the damage can
be repaired.

L'PSET THE PATROL WAGON.
Officer Plum in er Thrown From the
Sent and Greatly Bruised.
Officer Plummet-, the driver of the police
patrol wagon, was somewhat badly hurt
yesterday by being thrown from the seat.
The wagon had gone, as usual, to bring the
prisoners from the county jail to the city
hall for trial before the recorder. When op-
posite the jail a small boy with a bag over
his head ran in front of the horses. They
became frightened, and turning suddenly,
overturned the wagon. Plummet* was
thrown out and one of the horses fell on
him. Officers Jacobs and Reifel, who ac-
companied the wagon, went to the assist-
ance of the officer and extricated him from
his dangerous position. It was found that
he had sustained an ugly scalp wound ami
was bruised about the body severely. He
was taken to the Sealy hospital, where the
wound on his head was dressed, and was
then taken to his home. It was ascertained
late last night that the officer was resting
well, though complaining of severe pains in
his back and sides. His injuries will, it is
xpeeted, necessitate his confinement to the
house for several days.
THACHER DECLINES.
Will Not Accept the Nomination for
Governor—Probable Outcome.
Albany, N. Y., Sept. 26.—John Boyd
Thacher declined the democratic nomina-
tion for governor in his statement to the
notification committee to-day.
This was the day set for the visit to
Thacher by the committee of five appoint-
ed at the meeting of the state democratic
committee Tuesday to officially notify him
of his nomination, but in advance of their
coming he gave out a letter announcing
his declination. At the outset of his state-
ment Thacher made acknowledgements of
the honor which the nomination implied,
and in the next sentence said that he was
constrained to decline it.
In the course of his statement Mr.
Thacher said: "It is impossible for me,
with the views I hold, to make a contest
on the coinage issue. 1 believe in the good
old democratic doctrine of joint tree and
equal use of gold and silver. This doctrine
is as far removed from the single use of
gold, which enables speculators to juggle
with its value, as it is from that other
principle which seeks to establish an im
possible ratio for its sister metal. There-
fore. entertaining the views I do, and now,
thoroughly impressed with the belief that
tlie party will consent to make the contest
only, or primarily, upon the silver issue, I
feel that as an honorable man I should
make way for some one who can carry the
banner with that device."
The probable outcome of Thaeher's dec
lination will be the indorsement by t
branch of the regular democracy of Daniel
C. Griffin on the state issue and the in-
dorsement of the populistic candidate by
the silver men in the state. It is believed
this will be satisfactory to Senator Hill.
Tammany hall, however, may insist upon
its own candidate.
It is absolutely denied that Mr. Bryan
wrote any Jetter to Thacher asking his
withdrawal, nor has he intimated to any-
body such a desire. The story was made
out of whole cloth.

Canton, O., Sept. 26.—To-day has been
the most notable day of the campaign in
Canton excepting the formal opening of
the county campaign on Friday of last
week, the crowd exceeding that of any
other demonstration. FoOr or five states
were represented in the day's doings and
delegations came from between twenty ami
thirty towns, extending as far west as
Peoria, 111., and as far east as Buffalo, N.
Y. The delegations were so massed that
Major McKinley managed to address all in
eleven speeches. The closing demonstra-
tion of the day was that of the People's
patriotic club of Cleveland, under the aus-
pices of Mrs. J. w. Shepherd, the Ladles'
marching club and band and other organi-
tions of Cleveland. The delegation repre-
sented the western reserve of Ohio and re-
quired six trains for its transportation. It
included organized bodies of naturalized
Americans, who were tormer subjects of
Bohemia, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Germany,
Afro-Americans and first voters. Major
McKinley Club of Cleveland was master
of ceremonies. This, like the many other
delegations of the day. was conspicuous
for numerous bands ana drum corps, gaily
uniformed and well drilled.

teenth Illinois district introduced the Peoria
traveling men to Major McKinley.

Canton, O., Sept. 26.—Leaving Peoria. 111.,
at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a special
train bearing several hundred commercial
travelers from that section reached Canton
at 9 o'clock this morning. The men were
uniformed in light colored linen dusters and
black silk hats, and each carried a large
bunch of red. white and blue plumes. They
went direct to the McKinley residence,
where they were presented by Hon. J. V.
Graff, congressman of the Fourteenth Illi-
nois district.
At 11.30 the last of four sections of twelve
coaches each, bringing the employes of
Jones & McLaughlin company's steel works
from Ormsby, l'a., and tour bands, reached
Canton and the delegations proceeded at
once to the McKinley home. The notable
feature was the uniform of one of the clubs
which included high fur shakos, bright bat-
tle axes and McKinley and Hobart breast-
plates. The address was delivered by C. C.
Briggs, one of the employes.
A crowd coming as the Turtle Creek, Pa.,
republican club, and made up largely of the
miners of the New York and Cleveland coal
company, were received on the lawn at 1
p. ni. The party came in a special train of
ten coaches. An introductory address was
made by Thomas B. Armitage, superintend-
ent of the mine. Before the Turtle Creek
delegation secured au audience with Major
McKinley, employes of the Crescent steel
works of Pittsburg, of Spang, Chalfant &
Co. of Aetna, of the Pittsburg locomotive
works and citizens from Sharon, Sharps-
burg and other stations along the Pittsburg
and Western road were received, addresses
were made on their behalt and Major Mc-

Congressman Graff and My Fellow Citi-
zens; I am glad to greet at my home the
Traveling Men's republican club of Peoria.
I can not refrain from congratulating you
at this time on the splendid victory which
you achieved two years ago in electing
your present congressman and turning a
strong democratic majority into an over-
whelming republican majority. (Great ap-
plause and cries of "We will do it again.")
And 1 am glad to hear from so many voices
about me that it is j|Our purpose to do it
again. I congratulate you upon the thriv-
ing city and glorious state in which you
live. Illinois Is njw by the census the
third state in population in the American
union, it has taken the place of Ohio, but
1 always have held you took your census
while Ohio was visiting your great metrop-
olis getting ready for the world's fair.
(Great laughter and cries of " Kali for
McKinley! > 1 congratulate you most
heartily upon the rank Illinois has taken
in population and also the rank she lias
taken In statesmanship. It comes to few
states to have furnished to this union the
grand men you have furnished—Yates and
oglesby, that splendid soldier, patriot and
statesman, John A. Logan (great applause;
and that noblest of democrats, Stephen A.
Douglas, who loved his country tar more
than he loved his party ami gave the whole
weight of his mighty influence to Mr. Lin-
coln in the crucial period in the history of
the republic. (Great applause.) And no
man can think of your great state without
recalling that you furnished to mankind
and the ages Abraham Lincoln, the great-
est statesman of this country or any other
in the world's history. (Tremendous cheer-
ing.) And General Llyases Grant, the first
captain of thev republic. (Renewed ap-
plause.) When Abraham Lincoln issued his
immortal proclamation of liberty the whole
world knew that what Lincoln had decreed
Grant would enforce with the thunder of
his artillery. (Great applause ami cries of
"Good, good.") 1 am glad to know that,
your prospects are so good for a splendid
victory in Illinois this year. (Tremendous
cheering and cries of "We will give M
Kinley 150,000.") What a spectacle,-my fel-
low-citizens, to the world is this govern
meni of 70,000,OOu free people, themselves
changing their chief executive every four
years and their law-making power every
two years if it be their will so to do, and
the government going on without halt or
interruption, working out with the 70,000,000
people from time to time to serve their
highest destiny. More than 120 years have
passed since the government was founded
and in every trial of our history we have
demonstrated our capacity for self-govern-
ment.
Now and then In our popular elections we
may have been swayed by passion or
moved by the demagogue from our moor-
ings. but the American people are not
fooled but once on a subject. (Great cheer
ing.) For, once deceived, they never fol-
low the deceiver a second time. (Renewed
cheering.) 1 have known, and so have
you, times In your history when the ma-
jority of the people were made to believe
that certain policies would serve their best
interests, and when it transpired that they
did not they swiftly turned on the party
which deceived them and turned it out of
power. And they will do it again. The
judgment of the people is terrible against
those who mislead and delude them. The
people are never led by deceit or misrep-
resentation until they investigate for them-
selves. This they are doing this year in a
marked degree, it is of no avail that party
leaders appeal to passion when the peo-
ple are alive to their own and public inter-
est. It will not do to say to the men who
are poor in this world's goods, you must
get off by yourselves, form a government
of your own, your Interests are opposed
to those who employ you.
That is not enough this year. The poor
man Inquires what good that will be,
j how will that better my condition, how
; will that bring bread to my family and
cheer to my children? Will I be benefited
J by despoiling my employe!? Will it give
me more employment and better wages to
strike down those whose money is invested
in productive enterprises? Four years ago,
it was said that the manufacturer was
making too much money. But that can not
be said now. (Cries of "No.") And that
the robber tariff which was enriching him
must be torn up root and branch, to the
end that he shall be deprived of what some
people were pleased to call his "ill got-
ten profits." The country agreed to the
suggestion, and the trial was entered upon,
with what result every manufacturer, com-
mercial man. traveling or worklngman best
knows. It has been discovered to our
sorrow, too, that you can not injure the
manufacturer without Injuring the whole
business of the country. (Cries of "That's
right.") You may close the shops by ad-
verse tariff because you imagine the man-
ufacturer is making too much, but with
that done you close the door of employ-
ment in the face of the laborer, whose only
capital is his labor. (Great cheering.) You
can not punish one without punishing the
other, and our policy would not inflict the
slightest injury on either. (Applause and
cries of "That's right.") In such a case
"of getting off together," does not do
either any good. Arraying labor against
capital is a public calamity and an irre-
parable injury to both. Class appeals to
dishonorable and dishonest deeds. They
calculate to separate those who should be
united, for our economic interests are com-
mon and indivisible. Rather, my fellow cit-
izens, teach the doctrine that it is the duty
and privilege of e\ery man to rise. That
with honest industry he can advance him-
self to the best place in the shop, the
store, the counting house or In the learned
professions. This Is the doctrine of equal-
ity and opportunity that Is woven in every
fiber of our natural being, a doctrine which
has enabled the poorest boy with the
humblest surroundings to reach the best
place in our great industries and in the
highest trusts which can be bestowed by a
generous people.
Gentlemen, and 1 speak to my country-
men everywhere, if you have not your-
selves been among the most fortunate. 1
pray you think of your boys and girls,
and place no obstacles in their pathway
to the realization of every lofty and hon-
orable ambition which they may have.
(Great applause.) 1 pray God that the
burdens of class may never be imposed
upon American manhood (applause) and
American womanhood. (Renewed applause.)
Now, my fellow-citizens, thanking you
most heartily for this call and for the
gracious compliment paid me by yo%ir
spokesman, it will give me pleasure to meet
each one of you personally. (Applause.)
TO THE CITIZENS OF BUFFALO.
My Fellow Citizens: I count* it a great
honor to nave you present at my home to-
day, the real estate men of the city of
Buffalo. I thank you for your coming and
bid you hearty welcome. I am glad to
know there are numbers among this as-
semblage, men of all political parties, men
who have heretofore not voted the repub-
lican ticket and who this year believe that
the republican more than any other party
stands for national honor and tlie credit of
the country. (Applause.) 1 thank all such
for their support to the party which this
year represents the country's honor and
prosperity. There Is nothing more vital to a
government like ours than the sanctity of
law. (Applause.) It must rule over all.
above all, and be observed by all. (Cheers.)
Acquiescence in public law which the peo-
ple themselves have made and ordained is
the highest obligation to citizenship and
the chief source of safety to the republic.
(Applause.) The courts which interpret
and execute the law must be preserved on
that exalted plane of duty and incorrupti-
bility which has so signally characterized
the American judiciary. (Cheering and
cries of "Right, right.")
These courts must be upheld for the safe-
ty and defense of the'citizens. When the
law and those whose constitutional duty it
is to execute them are assailed the govern-
ment itself is assailed. If there are those
who would break down law and disturb
the peace and good order of society, then
those who value these safeguards as es-
sential to our liberty must sacredly guard
and defend them by their ballots. (Great
applause.) This they will do with the same
earnest patriotism that they have always
displayed in every emergency in the life of
the nation. To strike at the credit of the
country Is to deal a blow at Its prosperity.
(Applause.) Confidence in a measure, and
in a very great measure, is the capital of
the world. Destroy confidence and you in
vite suspicion to every enterprise in tin
land. (Cries of "Correct.") Absolute in
tegrity of payment in all transactions, pub-
lic and private, lies at the foundation of
confidence, and when confidence is once
firmly established there is scarcely any
limit to capital. (Cries of "That's right"

and "Good." good.") This is the universal
experience of both government and Indi-
vidual. A tainted credit is a constant em-
barrassment to government and citizen,
ami when it once fastens itself It is hard
for them to recover. A limping credit at-
tracts no capital and inspires no confi-
dence. (Applause.) Poor credit is always
expensive; it puts unnecessary burdens
upon its possessors. They are required to
pay higher rates of interest for the use
of "money and higher prices for what they
buy. If they get credit at all they must
pay dearly for it because of the fear that
they will not return what they have bor-
rowed. (Cries of "Right.")
This credit and confidence can not be re-
stored by a proposition to debase the cur-
rency of the country and repudiate public
and private debt. (Great applause.) And,
my fellow-citizens, without detaining you.
after thanking you for the courtesy and
kindness of this call. I want to say that
the American people this year mean t««
Mexicanlze neither their money or their
labor. (Tremendous cheering and cries of
"Right, right.") I bid you good-afternoon.
(Great applause.)

AN HONORED til EST.
Father Butler, Who Built the Sacred
Heart Church. With the Jesuits.
The Very Reverend Theobald W. Butler
is the honored guest of the fathers of the
Society of Jesus at the university of St.
Mary's, Thirteenth street and Broadway.
The reverend gentleman Is celebrating his
golden jubilee, having served fifty years In
the work of tffe church and order of the
Jesuits. Father Butler Is well known and
loved In Galveston generally, and particu-
larly by the members of the Church of the
Sacred Heart, for to him belongs chiefly the
credit of its origin and construction. The
fiftieth anniversary of his connection with
the church was celebrated In New Orleans
last Wednesday and immediately thereafter
he obtained permission to leave for Galves-
ton to spend a few days in revisiting his
old friends and parishioners.
In speaking to a News reporter yesterday
Father Butler said: "Yes. 1 laid the found-
ations of the Church of the Sacred Heart
and it does my heart good every time 1
look upon It. 1 came here in 1884 as a rep-
resentative of our order, the Society of
Jesus, in response to an invitation from
Bishop Gallagher. You see. the Jesuits are
a teaching order, ami the bishop desired us
to take possession of the school building as
teachers. Father O'Connor was appointed
rector of the institution in 1^4 and he was
succeeded bv Father O'Shahahan. I came
again in 1888 as rector of the institution,
and went to work to bujfd a church. The
outlook was not very encouraging, but 1
remember we held several big fairs and
with the earnest sympathy of Bishop Gal-
lagher and the active and voluntary co-
operation of Architect Clayton, we laid the
foundation In 1NX9 and managed to continue
the construction of the church. 1 remained
in Galveston during its erection and until
it was opened in January, 1892. 1 left in
February, a month later, but I had been
afforded the satisfaction of seeing the
church opened. I have no doubts," con-
tinued Father Butler, with „a smile, "that
there are many ladies who still remember
those fairs we gave for the purpose of rais-
ing money. It was hard work, though
every one was very kind. After I left here
I went to take charge of Grand Cotteau
college in Louisiana, and from there 1 was
sent as spiritual director of the college at
Macon, Ga.. which position I still hold. I
am now celebrating my golden jubilee, fifty
years in harness, and one of my first de-
sires in connection with my jubilee was to
visit Galveston, which 1 love dearly, and
my old friends who are. If possible, nearer
and dearer to me. No indeed. 1 don't mind
telling you my age. I am 68 years old, but
I feel just as young as I did twenty years
ago. I don't believe in growing old. My
friends all tell me that 1 haven't changed
at all, and do you know, it does me good
to hear that."
Time indeed has dealt lightly with Father
Butler, for he is the personification of vig-
orous health and robust activity, not a
little of which may be due to a very appar-
ent cheerful temperament.
Father Butler will speak this morning at
the 7.30 mass, the 0 o'clock mass and at
the evening services, which commence air
7.30.
Boston. Mass., Sept. 2G.—Mr. Bryan was
up bright and early at Dedham, the home
of Hen. George Fred Williams, this morn-
ing and arrived in the city before 8 o'clock.
Accompanied by Mr. Williams he at once
went to the train, which was scheduled to
leave for Manchester. N. H.. at £.30 At the
train the reception committee from Man-
chester was in waiting and Mr. Bryan was
immediately ushered into a parlor car re-
served for himself and party. A few min-
utes after Mr. Sewall with the Maine con-
tingent arrived. Several hundred people
gathered about Mr. Bryan's car and there
were several calls for a speech, but the
candidate was saving his voice for the
more Important work of the day and did
not respond. Just before the train started
he went out on the platform, however, and
smilingly acknowledged the cheers of the
crowd, which continued until the train dis-
appeared.
At IVushuu.
Nashua, N. H„ Sept. 26.—The endeavor of
the New Englanders to make amends for
tho cold reception given William J. Bryan
at New Haven has been no better Illus-
trated than It was this morning when the
train pulled into Lowell. The depot plat-
form was crowded with howling human-
ity. The train stopped live minutes and al-
though it was the intention of the nominee
to speak the demonstration was so great
that he did not have time to address them
alter the applause had subsided. The bag-
gage car attached to the rear of the train
was utilized as A platform. Here Mr. Bry-
an and Mr. Sewall were standing arm In
arm In tho doorway. There were many
such cries as "Welcome to Lowell." "Our
next president," but the one which created
tho greatest enthusiasm was shouted out
by a big coal heaver: "This is not Now
Haven, Mr. Bryan; this is Lowell." Just
before the train started quiet was restored
and Mr. Bryan told them he did not have
time to discuss any questions and then as
the train pulled away he added: "But we
are glad to see you."
The train shed was lined with crowds for
a block and they shouted and cheered the
nominees as they caught sight of the pair
standing in the baggage ear doorway. An
enthusiastic crowd yelled to the top of
its aggregate voice, a hand played "Hall
to the Chief" and expressions of "That's
him" were heard when Mr. Bryan, standing
on the platform of the train, arrived at trie
first stop in New Hampshire. Nashua was
out to give the nominee a hearty greet-
ing and Nashua accomplished Its purpose.
Short speeches were made by Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Sewall, which were heartily ap-
plauded.
\t Manchester.
Manchester, N. H., Sept. 26.—Amid much
applause and Interrupted by questions by
Rockwell Clough of Alton, N. H.. a prom-
inent wire manufacturer, Mr. Bryan ad-
dressed a very large crowd on Merriniac
commons here to-day. He said: Fellow
Citizens: We are told the free coinage of
silver will be detrimental to those who
have deposits in savings bank*. I want you
people who have money deposited in sav-
ings banks to remember this, that your de-
posits are secure only when the bank can
collect the money which it hi3 loaned, and
if you lend money on western lands and
then drive down the value of western land
you are destroying the securities which the
banks hold for what they owe you.
Mr. Bryan then went into a discussion of
the silver question proper, lie severely
arraigned monopolies and trusts and de-
clared the people were on the t-ide of sli-
er. and added:
Silver is a legal tender except when you
contract against it. We believe It ought
to be a legal tender, and that hereafter no
man ought to be permitted to contract
against any kind of government money.
But instead of recognizing silver as a
standard money equal with gold In the pay-
ment ot all debts, public and private, our
administration has issued bonds to the
amount of $262,<j00,000 in order to buy gold
in order to furnish to lio.se who make a
profit by looting the treasury and who then
b iv the bonds which the treasury issues.
Said Mr. Clough. interrupting Mr. Bryan:
•Is that a republican administration?"
Mr. Bryan: "No. air. but the republican
administration will continue the same thing
and if every republican indorses that sys-
tem. John Sherman says Cleveland's finan-
cial policy is all right, and John Sherman
runs the republicans. Thomas B. Reed
voted for the approval of t*he Rothschild
contract when he was in congress."
1 am not surprised that republicans do not
like to bear the odium of the present finan-
cial policy; but they had a chance to re-
pudiate it at St. Louis. Instead of doing it
they said it must*continue forever, unless
foreigners helped us out.
They tell us if we use silver as a standard
money for the payment of all debts of the
government that gold would go to a pre-
mium. In France they have more silver
per capita than we have in the United
States, and yet the French government
does not allow itself to be bulldozed and
intimidated by a few financiers. (Applause.)
Here again Mr. Clough interrupted Mr.
Bryan, saying: "If you want the people to
have silver, why don't you give it to them
at the market value?"
Mr. Bryan: "Don't Interrupt me, my
friend. 1 am glad to have questions asked.
When a man is defending the truth, no ques-
tion can embarrass him. The gentleman
asks why we don't want sliver coined at the
market {atio. 1 w.ll answer It Just this way:
The men who object to tree coinage at 16 to
1 and talk about another ratio are not hon-
est, because they would not have free coin-
age at any ratio. Let me show you. There
is not a prominent man in the United States
who is advocating free silver In this coun-
try alone at any ratio but 16 to 1. When a
man finds fault with 16 to 1, they are put-
ting up a sham bulwark, and when you
knock that down they get behind another
one, because, my friend, these men are not
In earnest. We are opposed to changing the
ratio because they have driven down the
value of silver bullion by one bad law, and
we are not in favor of holding It down by
another bad law. My friends, let me give
you another reason for not changing the
ratio. If tlie ratio were changed by Inter-
national agreement to 32 to 1. instead of 16
to 1, what would be tho result? You would
have to reeoin $4,000,000,OX) of silver into dol-
lars twice as large, which would mean $2.-
000,000,000. and mean a decrease of one-fourth
of the metallic money of the world and
raise the value of a dollar, and those who
own dollars would profit by It and every-
body who owed a debt would be plunged by
it twice as far in debt, and that Is why the
advocates of the 32 to 1 ratio are found
among the money owners and the money
changers, our opponents are so afraid of a
50-oent dollar, so much afraid of It that
some—the employers of labor, some of the
manufacturers are going to pay their debts
with a (.'heap dollar—! am not sure but my
friend is one of them—but whenever a dollar
gets cheap he can pay them twice as many
dollars, if he loves them as well after the
election as he does now. Why can't he pay
his employes twice as much, so they won't
lose a cent?"
Mr. Clough: "But he won't do it."
Mr. Bryan: "Then you stop telling your
employes you are interested just before
election."
Mr. Clough: "I am merely relating the
facts."
Mr. Bryan: "You are stating what are
the facts. The employer never pays arty
more than he has to pay. It is only before
campaigns that he poses as philanthropist
ami tries to make his employes vote his
way."
Our system will create a demand for la-
bor, and that demand for labor will force
m to do what the gentleman says they

Mr. Hryan then closed amid applause.
Lawrence Reception.
Lawrence, Mass., Sept. 20.—An elaborate
banquet was tendered Mr. Hryan and Mr.
Sewall after the speech at the north side
of the city hall. The meeting waa one of
the largest of the day and cheered Mr.
Jiryan throughout. Mr. Uryan made a long
speech, which was received with enthusi-
asm. lie handled the issue In a similar
strain as on previous occasions, and at
the close was heartily cheered.
At Portlnnd.
Portland. Me., Sept. 26.—The start from
Lawrence for Bath was made at 1.30, and a
half hour later the train came to a stop in
front of a large shoo factory In Haverhill,
tho town of shoe factories. Another crowd
met the party here, but time did not permit
of a speech. Brief stops were made at Ex-
eter, N. H., and Rockingham Junction, and
at the latter place Mr. Bryan spoke from
his place on the platform. During this
speech Mr. Bryan, from his place on tho
platform, espied two pickpockets attempt-
ing to remove a fat pocketbook which pro-
truded from tho pocket of a man in tho
crowd.
"Ixx>k out, there?" cried the nominee,
"they are trying to rob."
In the ensuing confusion, however, the
would-be thieves got away.
Portland was reached at 3 o'clock. Mr.
Brvan said:
"Ladles and Gentlemen: 1 desire to say
to the democrats of Maine that the demo-
crats of the nation have no complaint to
make of the manner In which you have
fought your state election battle. We un-
derstand the circumstances which have sur-
rounded you. Vet, in spite of all obstacles,
we can rejoice in the fact that the demo-
crat le candidate for governor, standing on
a silver platform, in spite of the desertion
of tho gold standard men polled 2000 mofe
votes than the democratic party did two
years ago. We bid you God speed in a
work you are still carrying on."
Mr. Bryan then went into a lengthy de-
fense of free coinage of silver and the Chi-
cago platform.
