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. \ ——‘—~‘ _ . Mr. Harrity's Position. PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-—William F. Advertise in the GIZ—E'I'rl'. .— 1 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.” Italy’s New Cabinet.

Y., July 15.—This city will celebrate tomorrow the centennial anni- versary of the evacuation of Fort Ontario by the British.

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 It is estimated that fully 80,000 visitors will attend the celebration.

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. Return of the Steamer Three Friends. JACKSONVILLE.
