CELEBRATION A SUCCESS.
The Candidate’s Trip to the \Vest—Opin-
ions of Republican National Com-
mittecmen—Chances of Pop-
ulists Indorslng Bryan.
SALEM, 1119., July 16.—Salem paid her
farewell to William J. Bryan today in a
demonstration that exceeded by far the
pyrotechnic reception given him on his ar-
rival here Monday night. The prepara-
tions were begun yesterday morning. In
front of the old courthouse, where Bryan
made his maiden speech and where his fa-
ther presided as circuit judge for many
years, a platform with a foundation of
empty‘oil barrels had been erected, and
this was covered with red. white and blue
hunting and other embellishments. In re-
sponse to a proclamation of Mayor Lakin
nearly every house floated the national
standard or some other adornment, and
plot es of Mr. Bryan, most of them clip-
ped cm daily papers, were prominent in
the windows of shops and private houses.
Business was suspended, and the whole
town prepared itself 'for making the day
the greatest little Salem had ever experi-
enced. Excursions were run by the Balti-
more and Ohio Southwestern and the Chi-
cago, Paducah and Memphis roads, and
men and women from nearly all the neigh-
boring villages and the surrounding coun-
try took advantage of the opportunity af-
forded by the cheap rates to hear and see
Bryan. A promise that Governor Altgeld
also would make an address was another
attraction. Four bands had been engaged
for the occasion, and the three which
helped the Salem orchestra to make music
headed delegations from nearby towns.
The celebration was a success in every
particular, and the day- will go down as
the red letter one in Salem’s history. The
youthful Democratic presidential candi-
date was wildly cheered by the enormous
crowd in attendance.
Bryan was late in reaching Salem from
Centralia. He went to Odin by train and
made the journey from that junction to
Salem with a party of newspaper men in
a stage drawn by mules. Two or three
times the stage was nearly overturned at
bad places in the road, and Bryan was
obliged to jump to save himself from be-
ing cast into the mud. Mrs. Bryan and
several Salem residents preceded Bryan,
in a surrey. .
The detailed programme of Bryan’s trip
. to Lincoln was announced today. He will
leave Salem by the B. and 0. Southwest-
ern at 5:23 o’clock tomorrow, will get to
St. Louis at 8:23 o’clock, and after chang-
ing to the Missouri Pacific train will con-
tinue the journey at 9 o’clock. He is sched-
uled to arrive in Kansas City that even-
ing and will probably make a speech
there.
The night will' be spent at Kansas City,
and in the morning at 11 o’clock Mr.
Bryan, Mrs. Bryan and their three chil-
dren will start via the Burlington line for
ngncoln, where they are due that evening
at 6 o’clock. The trip through Nebraska
will be made in the daytime, and Mr.
.Bryan will probably make several infor-
mal speeches en route.
Bryan Refused a Special Car.
With reference to a published story that
Bryan had not been polite in declining
the offer of a railroad company to furnish
a special car for him, a man here. who
was present at the interview, says that
‘Bryan simply thanked them for their of-
fer to furnish the special car and expressed
a desire to travel as an ordinary passenger.
After the family dinner Bryan saw a
great many visitors, all old friends, had
his picture taken with his three children
about him on the porch of the house in
which he was born and took a walk about
the town. In the afternoon he visited the
Park hotel and had a chat with the news-
paper men there.
“I am not being interviewed,” said
Bryan smilingly half a dozen times in
answer to questions from the journalistic
contingent. One of these questions was
whether he would challenge. Major Mc-
Kinley to a joint debate, and the remark
given was the reply. .
A dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., saying
that the people of Lincoln were losing en—
thusiam over the statement that the Dem-
ocratic nominee would not make his head-
quarters there, was shown to Bryan by a
' correspondent. “You may say," he
answered, “that my personal headquarters
and residence will be at Lincoln during
the campaign. I will reach Lincoln Fri-
day evening at 6 o’clock and will probably
go to Omaha Saturday evening. On Mon-
day I will receive thc delegates from Col-
, orado, Utah and Wyoming en route to the
national silver convention. Further than
that I have no plans.”
Mr. Bryan added'that he would make
’no political speeches until he was notified
of his nomination.
Among the telegrams received by Mr.
Bryan was one from the St. Louis Mer‘
chants’ Exchange, asking him to address
that body in his passing through St.
Louis. This he has been obliged to de-
cline, as he will remain there long enough
only to change cars. The Jefferson club
of St. Louis also sent a request asking
Bryan to fix an early date for a speech in
the auditorium there and promising a big
demonstration.
THE POPULIST CONVENTION.
Seats Provided For 1,350 Delegates—A Big
Attendance Expected.
ST. LOUIS, July 16.—-Preparations for
the Populist national convention are rapid-
ly assuming definite shape.
Chairman Taubeneck and Sergeant-at-
arms McDowell are busy at their respec-
tive headquarters and expect to have all
arrangements completed by the last of the
week. Ata meeting of the Business Men's
league the remainder of the fund guaran-
teed by the league was turned over to
Chairmaanaubencck, and the reception
and entertainment committee will be ap-
pointed at a meeting to be held on Satur-
day.
“The People’s Party national conven-
tion will bring more people to St. Louis
than attended the Republican national
convention,” said National Chairman
Taubeneck as he scanned the list of dele-
gates and went through the big stack of
letters from prominent party leaders an-
nouncing that they were coming to the
convention. Seats have been arranged for
1,350 delegates. The principal hotels have'
already contracted to entertain a number
of state delegations. Chairman Taubeneck
and Dr. J. J. Mott of North Carolina, the
latter chairman of the Silver party na-
tional committee, have securedquarters at
the Lindell hotel. A. J. Warner, presi-
dent'of' the Bimetailic league, will be at
Advertise in the Gmrm.‘
‘ I .
National '
the Southern hotel. Texas is coming in
strong and will fill the Van Studiford to
overflowing. . “
At the St. James, Missouri and Nebras-
ka will hold forth. At Hurst’s, lllinois
will fill the roomswith shooters and dele-
gates. Ohio aud'Kentucky have engaged
quarters at the Holland. At the Rozler
a large number of parties will be accom-
modated, but no headquarters have as yet
been engaged there. This comprises all
the advance arrangements so far mad .
Applications are beginning to come 'in
rapidly, however, at the smaller. houses,
which are making ready to entertain
crowds greater than they had during the
June convention.
The Silver party leaders are slow in
gathering. Besides Dr. J. J. Mott of
North Carolina the only arrival to date is
W. H. Standish, a national committeeman
from North Dakota. .
Nothing of more than routine character
is being done by Dr. Mott, who is prepar-
ing now for the meeting of the national
committee next Tuesday, the day Dread-
ing the Silver and Populist conventions.
Dr. Mott said that while there was a
quasi understanding between his party
and the Populists in behalf of the interests
of silver there was as yet no agreement or
definite movement in the direction oi
unity of action as regards the presidential
ticket to be voted for next November.
He declined to discuss this question or
the probability of either the Silver party or
the Populists indorsing the Democratic
nominees, saying that that rested entirely
with the two conventions. Silver will be
the dominating color of the decorations
and upon the badges. The admission tick-
ets and the badges will be turned over to
Sergeant-at-arms McDowell on Saturday
evening.
All of the passenger associations have
now conceded a one fare rate, and the cor-
respondence being received at the national
committee rooms points to a large attend-
ance.
NEBRASKA’S POPULISTS.
Their State Convention Will Declare For
Candidate Bryan.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July _16.—-Lasl
evening’s trains swelled the advance guard
to the Populist state convention until
there are perhaps 200 delegates now in the
city. It seems beyond any doubt that Bry-
an instructions will easily carry; that at
the Hastings convention later Holcomb
will be nominated for governor, together
with a full ticket; that after Bryan is
nominated at St. Louis the Democrats
will be expected to support Holcomb and
the state ticket.
Senator Allen arrived and made ad-
dresses on the streets. Senator Allen and
Holcomb are expected to head the,delega-
tions to St. Louis.
LINCOLN, N eb., July 15.—The sentiment
of the Populist state administration on
the question of indorsing Mr. Bryan for
president was expressed by Private Secre—
tary Benton Maret to a reporter. Speaking
for Governor Holcomb, Mr. Maret said:
“The candidacy of Mr. Bryan will carry
Nebraska for free silver. The Populist
party, representing this principle and in-
dorsing the Democratic national ticket,
hope to elect their state ticket by an over-
whelming majority. As regards the ac-
tion at St. Louis, Governor Holcomb, Sen-
ator Allen and in fact the entireNebraska
delegation will put Mr. Bryan’s indorse-
ment prominently before the convention
and use their utmost influence to,accom-
plish that result. Senator Allen has great
influence in the party, and there seems no
doubt of the ultimate result.”
Mesmges were received from the mem~
bers of the Utah, Colorado, Wyoming,
California, Washington and Oregon dele-
gations to the national Populist conven-
tion at St. Louis asking that Mr. Bryan be
at some convenient place where they can
see him as they pass through Lincoln en
route to St. Louis next week. They will
be in the city an hour.
Preparations for the big:demonstration
when Mr. Bryan returns home are being
continued with renewed zeal. The first
revolt of active partisans against what is
deemed undue activity on the part of Re-
publicans in the coming demonstration
came when the Young Men’s Republican
club attempted to pass a resolution urging
members to refrain from participating.
It was voted down, the club merely voting
to send a telegram to Major MéKinley re-
afiirming allegiance to Republican prin-
ciples and promising him support.
South Dakota Populists.
HURON, S. D., July 16.-—-The Populist
state convention met here. Senator Petti-
grew and Judge Palmer are here urging
the indorsement of Bryan’s nomination,
and it is understood they will dictate a
portion of the ticket to be named. The
convention was called to order at 2:30
o’clock in the afternoon. Pending reports
from the committees, Messrs. Kelley, Pet-
tigrew, Palmer, Kyle and Goodykontz ad-
dressed the ccnvention. '
Mr. Kyle scored Congressman Pickler
severely. He said Republican newspapers
of the state were demanding his resigna-
tion because he refused to stand on a plat-
form made by a gang of Wall street gam-
blers and thieves at St. Louis, but the dis-
approval of his course by the Republican
party filled him . with pride. Dr. Warner
of Mitchell was made permanent chair-
man, and a committee was appointed to
confer with a committee from the silver
Republicans who bolted the Republican
state convention looking to the composi-
tion of the ticket and platform.
The platform committee agreed to give
one railroad commissioner to the bolting
silver Republicans and four presidential
electors to the Democrats.
The platform committee reported at a
late hour. The document declares against
private monopoly of public necessities, de-
clares for government ownership of rail-
roads, free coinage of silver, postal savings
banks, direct legislation and election of
United States senators by direct vote of
the people, denounces the state adminis-
tration, recommends the Iowa railroad
law, indorses Senator Kyle and extends
gratulations to Pettigrew and his col;
leagues. It instructs its electors for a free
silver president, instructs its delegates to
the national convention to unite with the
silverites and recommends that the prohi-
bition question he voted upon according
to the dictates of the voters.
After a bitter war of words over indors-
ing Bryan, occupying two hours, the ques-
tion was brought to a vote, resulting in a
vote of 2 to 1 in favor of the indorsement.
Peil’er Comes Out For Bryan.
WICHITA, Kan., July 16.—Senator Pefl'er
has written a letter to the editor of (.l‘he
Kansas Commoner, the leading Populist
paper in southern Kansas, in which he
shows that he has withdrawn his opposi-
tion to the indorsement of W. J. Bryan
by the Populist national convention and
will be an enthusiastic supporter of the
Democratic nominee. In his letter the sen-
ator says: .
“The conversion of Democracy puts a
new phase on the political situation. The
wise and patriotic course now is for us to
Advertise in [the Gem. ’.
unite our forces with all the friends o'silr
vet and enemies of the gold standard
where such union is possible. We can do
this and still maintain our organization
for future use in case ofneed.”
With the accession of Senator Peffor to
the Bryan forces, the Pcpulists of Kansas
are practically a unit for the Chicago nom-
inee. '
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE.
Manley, Clayton and Quay In Cleveland.
An Interview With Manley.
CLEVELAND, July 16.—Messrs. manley,
Clayton and Quay of the national Repub-
lican executive committee arrived here
yesterday, and Messrs. Payne and Osborne
and the other members came in today.
- Cleveland seems to be the favorite for the
headquarters. Major J. A. Dick, Mr.
Hanna’s right hand man, said in, regard
to the ninth member of the committee
that the appointment would probably go
to Cornelius N. Bliss of New York.“ He
said he did not think the committee would
favor appointing Thurston a member just
because Bryan was from Nebraska. -
Mr. Manley in an interview said:
“McKinley’s election is as much assured
as Wes his nomination, and that was prac-.
tically settled long before the convention
met at St. Louis. I have no fears whatever
as to the future success of the party. The
cry of silver is confined to the west, and
those states are the only doubtful states,
but the party of Populists will not be able
.to overcome the great McKinley majorities
that will rise up in all parts of the coun-
try.” - ,
.“How will Mr. Sewall’s candidacy ef-
fect the McKinley vote in Maine?”
“The grand old state has never yet re-
pudiated Republicanism. Mr. Sewall is a
popular and shrewd business man and
will perhaps poll the usual Democratic
vote: But Mr. Sewall is in bad company. ”
“Will Mr. Reed stump for Mr. McKin-
ley?” .
“Mr. Reed is well known to the people
of this country. He is a gold man in so
far as gold means a sound currency, busi-
ness activity and prosperity. He has never
yet been found wanting when called by
his party.” ‘
“What city do you favor
tional headquarters?’ ’
“I have given the matter no thought as
yet,” said Mr. Manley. _
Mr. Quay said: “Fight? Yes, I suppose
we shall have to fight. You know the
people every once in awhile since the world
began have been deluded by false prophets.
I have too much confidence in the Amer-
ican people to suppose that they will be
misled by the crank platform and crank
prophets, but we shall make the usual po-
litical contest. There is no doubt of Mo-
Kinley’s election.” -
RIOT OP STRIKERS.
The Militia Had to Be Called Out to Pre-
vent Further Trouble.
CLEVELAND, July 16.— The strikers at
the Brown Holst works learned that the
company was recruiting their nonunion
forces in Canada and Cincinnati. Quietly
and secretly they planned decisive action.
They‘ organized committees of 10 and 20,
and to each committee was given a section
of territory to patrol and look for nonunion
men.
These committees Were on duty early
this morning,'and as the nonunion men
traversed the streets in the neighborhood
of the vca-rks they were hunted down
through r he pouring rain by the strikers.
Pale w Lr-h fright the nonunion men ran
for their .ives, over back _' fences,;taking
refuge in BJUdS, and in many instances in-
vading the homes of citizens. They
climbed on street cars and several men
were injured by being thrown from the
cars to the pavement.
Throughout the territory mapped out
by the rioters ran hither and thither groups
of men armed with clubs and other weap-
ons, hunting for victims.
When a nouuunion man was spied, with
a shout of derision he was pounccdupon,
felled with a club and beaten.
The riots-rs paraded the streets for a
range of ‘20’ blocks in the vicinity of the
works. The police were utterly unable to
cope with the strikers in this guerrilla
fighting. The numbercf injured is un-
known.
Mayor Mcliissou ordered a company of
militia to the scene of rioting.

Killed by a Falling Building.
BOSTON, July iii—By the collapse of
wooden buildings at the north end an un-
known ltaliau laborer was ki led, and
John Levereue, a 15 year-old boy, had his
right leg l'rohen in three pieces, which
will necessitate its amputation. The build-
ings were two frame houses in process of
demolition. At the time a number of chil-
dren were in the buildings collecting;
wood. But for the presence of mind of Po-
lice Of‘ficer McGuire several other deaths
would have been recorded. Hearing a
cracking sound, he ran into {1.6 houses.
driving the Children out just as the build—
ings began to cave in.
Prominent Railroad Man Killed.
NEW YORK, July 16.-—-Arthur E. Chanv
dler, track superintendent of the Atlantic

may, a laborer, were thrown in front of a

killed. Chandler was one of the best
known railroad men at that place, having
been in the business for nearly 40 years.

When I was thirteen years old I began to have
sore eyes and ears, and from m ears a humor

was Eczema. By this time it had gone all over
my head, face. and body. Nobody thought I
would live, and would not have but for CUTICURA

five cakes of Concern Soar. and three bottles
