IIOW the Democratic Candidate Spent
the Day at Salem, Ills.

HE VISITED HIS RELATIVES.

no Also Attended a Demonstration In His
Honor at Centralia—Protest of Illi-
nois Gold Men—Other Politi-
‘ all News and Views.

SALEM, Ills., July 15.—The inhabitants
of this quiet town were rather slow in get-
ting about today. The demonstration of
last night appears to have been rather too

.much for them, and all those weary from
the unaccustomed loss of sleep remained
in befuntil thesun was high in the heav:
ens. Then they began to assemble in

- small groups about the courthouse square

and to talk of the wonderful display that
had been made in honor of the return of
William J. Bryan, the presidential nomi-
nee of the Democratic party. The oldest
settler—and the town is full of him—re-
counted stories and anecdotes of Mr. Bryan
when he was known as a barefooted boy
in this region 30 years ago. Prophets
among these old residents were numerous.
They said they always did know that Billy
Bryan was going to be somebody.

Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, like the inhabit-
ants of the town, were weary this morn-
ing. They crested until after 9 o’clock,
and going up to breakfast they had spring
chicken, and fried potatoes, and blackber-
ries grown in the yard of his sister’s home,
and coffee. With them at breakfast were
J. Baird and his wife, Mr. Bryan’s sister
and Misses Nannie and Mamie Bryan, two
attractive locking young women, who
have just finished their college education.
After breakfast Mrs. Bryan remained at
home while Mr. Bryan wont to the court-
house to attend to some business of his
mother’s estate. At dinner time Mr.
Bryan, his wife and two unmarried sisters
went to the home of their aunt, Mrs. D. S.
Marshall, and in the afternoon he drove

'about the town and out to the old farm

upon which his father lived during the
last years of his life. Mr. Bryan himself
is a member of the Presbyterian church,
but his father was a Baptist. There were
not enough Baptists in the town to sup-
port a preacher regularly, and so it Was
that services were held in the Baptist
church only twice a month, and in that
way it came to pass that William J. Bryan
attended Presbyterian services and finally
became a member of that church.

Mr. Bryan drove over to Centralia, 12
miles southwest, where a demonstration
was given. It was Mr. Bryan’s wish to
remain quiet today, but the people of Gen-
tralia had made all their arrangements for
a display in his honor, and he finally con-
sented to go. A big demonstration will
be held here tomorrow and tomorrow
night.

The Situation In Massachusetts.

BOSTON, July 15. -—The bolt of the
Massachusetts Democrats from the Demo-
cratic national ticket does not diminish in
size, but it is evident that the rank and
file of the party are with the regular nom-
inees at Chicago, and that they take this
position largely as a matter of prejudice
against the rich elements in the country.
The delegation to the Chicago convention
reached home and were welcomed by a
young men’sclub, each member of which
were in his lapel a button with a silver
bug in the middle and bearing the words,
“Silver, 16 to 1.”

The talk among the Democrats here is

‘ that the party will stand by the nomina-

tions at Chicago. Of course some of the
leaders are very angry with Williams for
coming out as a silver man and defying
the instructions of the convention which
nominated him. But if the leaders find
that they are not leaders at all in this re—
spect, and that the masses of the party have
made up their minds, it is pretty certain
:that they will swallow their wrath at Wil-
‘liams and support the Chicago ticket. The
.prospect at this time is that this will be
Ithe‘outcome. Though the leaders are very
sore, they are not saying that they will
bolt. A few of the delegation have taken
this stand and burnt their bridges behind
them, but only two or three, leaving the
large majority free to act after they have
sensed the situation at home.

Another feature of the Massachusetts
situation is the demand of the silver men
;that George Fred Williams be the candi-
Idate of the party for governor. He is
praised today as one of the ablest men who
:ever lived in Massachusetts, as a man of
wonderful courage to come out as he did
for silver and as the one man who will
come nearest to an election whom the
,party could nominate. If the leaders were

7 '_ sposed to fight this idea, there would be

are chance of defeating Williams, but
théy are evidently about to temporize
and do all they can to hold the party to-
gether. If they should oppose Williams, it
. quite probable that he would capture
1 e or anization from them, and they
0 out in the cold. Hence they will
be more likely to smooth over things.

Bimetallfats and Populists.

ST. LOUIS, J uly.1.—Dr. J. J. Mott, sec-
metal?. of the Bl'metallic League of Amer-
.ica, as returned from Chicago and se-
cured rooms at the Lindell hotel for the
coming convention for Senator Stewart of
Nevada. Congressman Newland, William
P. St. John of New York and others.

When asked if the bimetallic national
convention would indorse Bryan’s nomi-
Ination, he said, “I know that Mr. Bryan
is a great favorite with many men promi-

ent in the league.”

L. K. Taylor of Paducah, Ky., member
of the Populist national committee, is
.here to engage unters for the Kentucky
delegation and 300 visitors to the national
convention. .

“Will the Populists indorse Bryan when

. they-meet here next week?” he was asked.

“They may, but I doubt it, because we
have got to maintain our party organiza-
ition. We may nominate Teller and then

agree to divide our electoral tickets on the «
- Ibasis that the strongest man win after

the general result is known. This is feasi-
‘ble, and, after all, it looks as if it would
be the indorsement of Bryan, for he would
most likely be the beneficiary.”

Mr. McDowell has appointed Secretary
'Rosell of the national executive commit-
teephairman of the press committee, the
other members of which will be St. Louis
newspaper men.

A number of Democrats of St. Louis
;who favor McKinley for president have
fiecided to come out and work for his elec-

on. ‘

Already plans are afoot to organize a
“sound money Democratic league,” whose
members will pledge themselves to vote

for McKinley and protection.

was at his desk in the office of the Equi-
table Trust company, of which he is presi-
dent. Mr. Harrity was not disposed to

express himself regarding the Democratic.

platform or candidates. He did, however,
make the following statement:

”Since my return to Philadelphia my
attention has been called to a report sent
out from Chicago during the convention
week to the effect that I had declared that
‘I am a Democrat first, and after that 1
am a sound money man.’ _

“There is no foundation whatever for
such a statement. It is a pure invention,
and the editorials based on it which ap-
peared in some of the Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and New York newspapers are both
unjust and unwarranted.

“I am a Democrat and a sound money
man, too,” continued Mr. Harrity, “not
afterward, but at the same time. And I
shall do nothing whatever during the com-
ing campaign that can possibly be regard-
ed as a surrender of my convictions upon
the currency question or upon any other
vital question.”

Bailey Not to Bolt.

WASHINGTON, July 15.—Conoerning the
report that Representative Bailey of Texas
had bolted the Bryan nomination a reason
was not hard. to find. When they were
together in congress, it was an open secret
that between them there was no aflection.
But Mr. Bailey, who is now in Washing-
ton, states that there is no truth in the
report that he will bolt. He resisted
Bryan's nomination to the last, but de-'
clares that it would be a great mistake,
now that it has been made, to bolt. He
will go on the stump in its support.

I‘OB ANOTHER CONVENTION.

Illinois Gold Democrats Issue a Statement
to the Country.

CHICAGO, July 15.—The following is
the address which the executive committee
of the gold standard Democrats of Illinois
has prepared to the Democracy of the oth.
er states in the Union:

“To Our Fellow Democrats of Other
States: ‘
“A national convention convened un-

der the constituted authority of our par-

ty has just closed its session in the city of

Chicago. It entered upon its work by vio-

lating all party precedents in the rejection

of a distinguished Democrat as its tempo-
rary presiding officer.

“It deprived a sovereign state of a voice
in its deliberations by unseating without
cause or legal justification delegates elect-
ed with all the regularity known to party
organization.

“It refused to indorse the honesty and
fidelity of the present Democratic national
administration.

“It adopted a platform which favors
the free and unlimited coinage of silver by
this country alone at the ratio of 16 to 1,
and thereby it repudiated a time honored
Democratic principle which demands the
strictest maintenance of a sound and sta-
ble currency.

“Finally, to make it still plainer that
although in name it was not in fact a_
Democratic convention, it nominated for
president one who is not in his politics and
has not always been even in professions a
Democrat. This has made such a crisis
both for the nation and the Democratic
party that sound money Democrats must
at once decide what political action they
will take for the protection of' the honor
of the nation, the prosperity of the people
and the life and usefulness of the party.
The sound money Democrats at Illinois
have fully made up their minds that a new
Democratic national convention should be
called for the earliest feasible day to nom-
inate Democratic candidates for president
and vice president and to adopt a platform
of Democratic principles, and they desire
to state to the Democrats of the other
states their reasons, as follows:

Reasons For the Call.

“First—Sound money Democrats owe
it to the country to make it certain at once
that their revolt against free silver is de
termined and will be organized. It is un-
fair to oblige the credit of the nation and
the business and industrial interests of
the people to merely guess what the sound
money Democrats will do in November
and wait until November to find out.

“Second—The nomination of a new
ticket is the logical course. Without it and
a sound money Democratic campaign the
whole educational force of sound money
Democratic sentiment would be paralyzed
from the beginning. Republicans cannot
argue the sound money question to Dem-
ocratic voters. Republican sincerity on
that question is dbubted by the mass of
Democrats. The tarifi question will be put
to the front and insisted upon by Repub-
lican speakers and the Republican press as
it has persistently been by Mr. McKin-
ley himself. Democrats will not listen to
lessons on finance when accompanied by
abuse of the Democratic party. The most
effective force at this time for a campaign
is the force resting in the sound money
Democrats, for they are profoundly in ear-
nest and can get a hearing from Democrats
that the Republicans cannot possibly get.

“Third—A new convention would also
preserve for the future the opportunities
of the Democratic party. Unless a clear
out separation is made between the genu-
ine Democrats and Democrats who are
drifting to Populism or are already in
Populism, and unless a clear cut separa-
tion is supported by organization, the par-
ty has no chance of regaining public con-
fidence for years to come. The sound mon-
ey Democrats in the fillerent states must
either make it clear that they have no as-
sociation with the Bryan party or they
must accept association and entanglement
with it, and all state organizations will
in the public mind be for it that do not
make it absolutely clear that they are
against it. The sound money Democrats
are already sufficiently organized in this
state to be able to meet their fellow Dem~
ocrats in a new convention and are anx-
ious to confer with representatives of oth-
er states whenever a representative confer-
ence can be brought about.

“Communications should be addressed
to, Mr. Charles E. Ewing, chairman,
Palmer House, Chicago.”

OSWEGO’B . GREAT DAY.

Programme of the Commemoration at
Fort Ontario's Evacuation.

' Oswseo, N. Y., July 15.—This city will
celebrate tomorrow the centennial anni-
versary of the evacuation of Fort Ontario
by the British. This fortification, which
played an important part in the colonial
troubles between the French and English,
was held by the British throughout the
American revolution and was not iielded
up to the Americans until 1796. it was
here that the last British flag floated over
the soil now under the stars and stripes.
The fort was built by Colonel Mercer, by
order of General Shirley, in 1754-5, for
better protection against the French. It
was destroyed in 1750, rebuilt in 1760 by
General Amherst and. remained garrisoned
until 1765, when it was abandoned for
three years, then reoccupied by a regi-
ment under Lieutenant McClelland, but
subsequently destroyed under his instruc-
tions. It was again rebuilt in 1780 and
garrisoned by British troops. It played
an important part in the war of 1812. The
fort was rebuilt of wooden revetments in
1839, which were replaced with stone in
1863. The fort is situated on the top of a
high plateau and commands a fine view of
Oswego, the river, harbor and Lake Onta-
“lo

AN ABSURD DEDUCTION.

Some Cubans Think Macao Has Been
Killed by Garcia’s Orders. '
HAVANA, July 15.—Many sympathizers
in this city with the insurgents express
the belief that Antonio Maceo, the Cuban
insurgent leader, has been killed by the
orders of the insurgent Meneral Calixto
Garcia or by friends of the latter. The
basis of his belief is the fact that Maceo
had openly refused to acknowledge the au-
thority of General Garcia.

tures. He left the office immediately after
consulting with his employers, and his
whereabouts were said to be unknown.
