liIr. Bryan In Ohio.
STEUBENVILLE, 0., Oct. 21.—-The trip
to ay of Candidate William J. Bryan
t rough the Ohio valley district, along the
banks of the Ohio, has been one punctuat-
ed here and there with cheers for his op-
ponent, and sandwiched in the crowds were
many badgesof that color which indicat-
ed that the wearers were not so friendly
to the white metal as they could have
been. There were five steps before this
place was reached, and at three of them
fillle candidate addressed the crowd from
the rear of the car. There was a good
crowd at Bellaire, and it was an enthusi-
astic one. Mr. Bryan addressed them for
‘15 minutes and told them that free coin-
age of silver would be a benefit to the
farmers, the laboring men and the busi-
ness men, using practically the same line
of argument to substantiate that state-
ment as employed by him on other occa—
sions.
\ At Bridgeport the wearers of the yellow
badges were numerous. Mr. Bryan spoke
.to he crowd of some hundreds for three
uni lites, telling them that the funda-
{mental principle which underlies the finan-
cial .question was the quantity and not
fihc Quality of money. He asked them to
Filmy the question and then vote as their
.93 nsciences dictated. He was cheered and
plauded, and for the most part the
owd appeared to be in sympathy with
is remarks. -
Martin’h Ferry turned out a crowd which
was to a good extent hostile to the views
of the candidate. There were gold badges
worn by a large portion of his audience,
and cheers for McKinley alternated with
cheers for Bryan. Noticing the yellow
badges, Mr. Bryan said that in this coun-
try anybody could take the gold cure who
wzinted to and told the story about the Ne-
braska womanwho said her brother was a
gold man without any gold. This pleased
the silverites, and they applauded vigor-
ously, and as soon as their applause would
die away there would be cheers for Mr.
Bryan’s opponent. There were stops at
Yorkville and Brilliant, and at these places
Mr. Bryan simply appeared on the plat-
form and acknowledged the receptions
given him. ' .

M’LA‘UGHLIN WINS. ,
New York‘s Convicted Police Inspector
Will Get a. New Trial.
ALBANY, Oct. 21.—-The court of appeals
today reversed the judgment of conviction
in the case of former Inspector of Police
William McLaughlin of New York, con-
victed of extortion, and ordered a new
trial. McLaughlin was convicted before
Judge Barrett in the court of oyer and
terminer of extortion on the complaint of
Francis W. Seagrist, a builder, from
whom, it was alleged, he took $50 and
guaranteed him protection from the con-
sequences of violating the building lawe.
The conviction was appealed from on the
ground that the jury was prejudiced and
that improper evidence was admitted, but
the appellate division of the supreme court
decided in favor of the prosecution. The
court of appeals hands down a long opin-
ion setting forth that the jury was in part
biased and that improper evidence was
admitted. ‘
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—The report of
this decision went from man to man
through police headquarters this forenoon
like a chill. The commissioners who were
there were mute for a. moment after being
told that “McLaughlin is coming back.”
Commissioner Andrews said:
“I don’t’ know what we can do. It-
looks as if we shall have to reinstate him.
Yet, as I understand, the reversal is based
on the technical ground of error, and a re-
trial may be possible; otherwise McLaugh-
lin is in a position to demarl’d restitution
with back pay. Without having looked
up the law, I should say he is like a man
under indictment. When he app 'es for
restoration to his position, the boa d will
have to accede, and then all we can do is
to suspend him on full pay.”
McLaughlin’s first trial on a charge of
extorting $50 from Francis W. Seagrist,
on a threat to do unlawful injury in his
building operations, lasted a month before
Justice Barrett in the court of oyer and
terminer and resulted in a disagreement
of the jury. ,On May 11, one week later,
when he was about to be tried the second
time, Justice Pratt in supreme court,
Kings county, granted a stay of the trial
pending an application for a change of
venue. The motion was denied by Jus.
tice Ingraham, and the second trial was
begun May 20. The jury was quickly
chosen, and a verdict of guilty was found
early in the morning of June 8, and on
J une 19 McLaughlin was sentenced by
Justice Barrett to two years and six
months in Sing Sing. A stay pending an
appeal was granted on July 9, and Mc-
Laughlin was released on bail.
The appeal was argued before the appel-
late division of the supreme court on Feb.
5, and on March 3 the court affirmed the
conviction, Justice Williams writing the
opinion, which was concurred in by all the
justices, Van' Brunt, Rumsey, Patterson
and O’Brien. On March 18 a stay was"
granted pending an appeal to the court of
appeals, and McLaughlin was again I;-
leased upon bail. ~
The Canadian Tariff.
MONTREAL, Oct. 21.—In wholesale cir-
cles it is said that tariff changes to be

in authority has given the“tip” to the
wholesalers in reference to the changes,
and that only specific duties will be aflect-
