To the Scwicklcy, Ph., delegation Maj.
McKinlcy said, in purl:
-Some people seem to have the notion
Hint Hie republican parly has made a
new dei.nrliire, that it occupies a. diller
cnt position today from that which it
. ,.,-cr occupied in the past. That is u
.mistake. We stand where we have nl-
. avs st I. not only upon Hie money
tpicsti hut on the tariff iieslion, and
Wnnt to call your intention to what
may have escaped you. When Hie war
..i..u.,.i iln l'hmiI nrohlem before Hie
American pie, before .the reconstruc
tion of Hie Pnioii, was, what should be
, done with the great debt that had been
. occasioned by the war and what should
.he done iu the way of maintaining a
mumd currency in the I'nitod Slates.
In INI IS the great soldier of the war, who
ImhI le.l the niiuhticst iinnies that were
ever engaged iu sustaining n cause, Gen.
V. S. 1 i-ii nt. was nominated for presi
dent. Let me repeat a few of the
. .. I.! ..1. 1 . . .
planks of the plattorm upon which m
stood mid yon can see then whether the
reiublicun party has chmigod its position:
' ''. denounce all forms of repudia
v Hon us a national crime and the national
. honor requires the payment id' the public
debt in the utmost good faith to nil
good creditors at home and abroad, not
only according to Hie letter, but the spirit
of the law under which it was con
tracted.' '"That was when we lind that enor
mous war debt of over two billions of
dollars and the country seemed to be
staggering under it, but the republican
i unity st-iotl uti. as it always has. and iu-
sitil Hint evel'V dull:)!' of Hie debt lllllst

in. I vn.lwr.f hut nulli-v we have nail! tllot'i
w.vi: two-thL-ilx ol that great national
debt and iaid every dollar witli honor
and iu Hie best currency.
"Then let me read another plank m
that datform which so well applies to
our situation today:
'The best policy to diminish our bur-
dens of debt is In so improve our credit
., . :o ......I. I...... iiu
money at lower rates of interest than we
now pay. and must continue to pay, as
long as repudiation, part or total, is
threatened or suspected.'
"This is the republican policy, and the
way to get capital to invest at lower
interest is to give conlidencc in the credit
of the country by lifting its credit and
-oinvuey and thus commanding the oon
lidcnoo of Hie business world. In that
same year the democratic national con
vention that nominated Horatio Seymour
for president had this utterance on the
money question, which was sound then,
and is today, and 1 commend it to all
if yon:
'l tnc currency for the government
.mil llic people, the laborer, the otlice
holdor, the jiensioncr and Hie soldier, the
Tir.-.ilil.'i'. Mllil the liolli I holder.'
III cimiiaiiMs u in m-.-iv i". in .-
'That in Hie kind ot money we have
today, fellow citizens, just as good iu
i thi' hands of the poor as in the hands
wi the vicli. and we propose to pay the
obligations of this novcruuicnt in the
future us we have paid the obligations
i.f the government in the past, iu the
best umnoy of the world."
To Hie delegation from Sununitt county,
introduced by P. V. Myers. Maj. Mc
Kinlcy said, in part:
"Vi have made wonderful progress in
the last thirty years and we have made
i' under a policy, lirst. of a protective
'tariff, and. second, upon a good, solid
monetary system. Four years ago pro
tection was. by the vole of the Anieri
enii people, decreed as not desirable.
They have had three years' experience
under Hie chimp' and 1 believe they are
ready to return to the old American doc
trine of a protective tariff. And two
weeks from tomorrow you will have an
opportunity to express your individual
opinions upon the iiuestion. The oilier
-iilcstiiin is one of timmco. whether this
country shall continue the use of the
Hood dollars that Huy now have, and
which they have had since 1S70. and
which they secured under republican
legislation or whether they shall turn
nway from them and adopt as the
medium of exchange of our people a dol
lar that is worth less than liHI cents. I
do not believe the people of this country
want n depreciated dollar. 1 believe
.Hicy want every dollar, whether they be
farmers or manufacturers or laborers, a
dollar that measures Kill cents and is
worth Hill cents, not only at home, but
wherever trade goes, in every commer
cial center of the world. This year
there is involved also in the controversy
a question of whether we shall have pub
lic tranquillity and whether law and
order shall be supreme iu the Pnited
;tns'cs. '

15KYAX AGUKES WITH IIAXXA
That the Anierienn Plug Should Float
on October ill.
Svdncy, O., Oct. P.). About tin? grand
stand ill the park at Lima uoveral thou
sand people gathered to hear the nominee
and thev gave demonstrative evidences of
approval. It was a crush, and the eiiiu
mittee of arrangements were cither
powerless to protect the party from the
crowd or too much interested in shaking
the hands of tin; presidential nominee to
attend to the business fur which they
were appointed.
Iu his speech Mr. P.ryan quoted the
letter of Mark Hanna, calling on the peo
ple who intended to vote the republican
ticket to hung the American Hag from
their windows on October .'51.
His reference to this was:
"I want to call your attention to some
thing that appeared in yesterday morn
ing's paper. I find that the mblioiin
national chairman has issued a letter to
the American i pie, in which he says:
"The American (lag has boon ill the pres
ent campaign the emblem or insignia lor
national honor. Its influence has boon
for good in the cause of u groat people.
Its display, iu many cases, has been
potent in the advancement of the coun
try's battle for maintenance of its honor
at home and abroad. I, therefore, sug
gest, that on Saturday, October 111, all
who intend to vote on November '! for
the preservation of our national honor,
for sound money and the advancement
of our people's interests and general
prosperity, display tin? national colors at
their homes, their places of business or
wherever they may be seen, in order that
voters whose hearts are for their coun
try may be strengthened iu their purpose
and those who are undetermined may be
the more patriotically and intelligently
able to conclude how best to do their
duty.'
"My friends, this is the first time I
know of Hint I have ever agreed with
the chairman of the republican commit
tee, but I want to sign my name to his
letter and ask all those who believe iu
the ideas set forth there to display the
llr.g on October III, because there' is not
a thing ir. that letter but whai "ve advo
cates of f.ee silver endorse. Sow, note
what, he says, that he wants the flag
displayed by all those who, on the Ilrd
of November, intend to vote fur the pres
ervation of our national honor. We ad
vocate of free silver believe that only
by having a financial policy made by the
American people, for the American peo
ple, can you support the honor of the
Pnited States. lie wants those to dis
play Hie Hag who are for sound money.
We who believe in the money of the con
st it ut ion are for a sounder money than
those who want to change our currency
into pounds, shillings and ponce. We
who believe iu a basis for our financial
transactions sulliciently broad for those
transactions to rest upon believe in a
sounder financial system than those who
advocate a gold standard and a financial
system based upon gold nlnno when you
can not get the gold to furnish your
foundation. Wo not only believe in
sound money, but we tell you what we
mean by sound money and do not play
the hypocrite by talking about sound
money and then refusing to explain what
the term means. He wants those who
are going to vote for the advancement
of our people's interest nnd general pros
perity to display the flag. My friends,
we believe that the free coinage of sil
ver at lti to 1. without waiting for the
aid or consent of any other nation on
earth, means the advancement of the
interests of the people and of general
prosperity, and, therefore, we can join
with those men in displaying the Anieri
enn Hair and let it be known to the coun
try that we are standing by the Hag nnd
Hint we are not asking foreign nations
what that Hag shall mean. 1 join in the
request for three reasons. First, be
en ifse everything that is asked for in that
letter we believe in. and, therefore, we
have as much riirlit to display the flag
mi that day as any republican has, and
we believe we have a good deal more
right to do this in this campaign. 1 join
in the letter for another reason. 1 don't
want them to mark the advocates of
free silver for slaughter on that day. I
do not want employers to go about
throughout the country and find who has
a. Hag iu his window and then threaten
to discharge any man who docs not say
ho is going to vote the republican ticket.
My friends, if coercion is going to be at
tempted, for heaven's sake let it not be
attempted by using the great flag as a
means of pointing out the men to be
threatened. If they want to find out
who shall be slaughtered, let them take
some other emblem than the nation's em
blem, under which to to do their
nefarious work. There is another
reason why I join in that request. I
want some Hags to float on that day
which do not mean a government by syn
dicates and for syndicates. I want
some Hags to float on that day that do
not stand for the right of a coal trust to
send a representative to every fireside and
collect tribute from every family in the
land. I want some Hags to float on this
day that do not stand for the opinions
of those who say that if the majority of
the people will decide for a certain way
iu this campaign they do not know
whether they will submit to the de-
ision or not. 1 want some Hairs to
float on Hint day which have behind
them the honest sentiment of the Ameri
can people, of people who intend to at
tend to their own business and do not
intend to be Knight or bribed into sup
port of foreign financial policies. (Ap
plause and cheers.) Ni, my friends, 1
want to ask all advocates of silver to
bring out their flags on that day. 1 want
them to put it into their homes and in
their places ot business, and, it need be,
to carry it upon the streets, and let our
opponents know that wo do not intend
to surrender that insignia and emblem
into the hands of the enemies of the peo
ple of this country.'' (Great applause.)
As enthusiastic an audience as .Mr,
llryan has addressed for some time
was at apouekn, when the special tram
pulled into that place. The houses in
the vicinity of the City hotel, iu front
of which the speaker's stand was erected.
were decorated with nags and bunting
and pictures of the candidate. As soon
as Mr. Ilrynn was seen emerging from
the ear the crowd cheered him wildly.
His speech was punctuated throughout
with applause and cheers and his ad
mirers continually expressed their ap
proval of his ideas. He spoke on the
same linos as he had used often before,
discussing the money question.

WATSON CONFERENCE

PKOI'OSITION FROM JONES
TO SUBMIT.
So They Telegraphed Him Not to Make
It Public A Conference With Chair
man Jones' Representative Will
He Held Today.
Thomson, Ga., Oct. 10. George F.
Washburn and If. F. Reed, members of
the populist national committee, left here
today after a conference of two hours
with Hon. Thomas Watson. Reliable
information is at hand which shows that
ouc object of the conference was to sub
mit to Mr. Watson some proposition
from Chairman Jones, the nature of
which both gentlemen refused to reveal.
It develops that Chairman Jones has
aifreed to go to Atlanta and meet Mr.
Watson, if the two committeemen, after
their arrival there, should think it neces
sary, otherwise he would send a personal
representative who stands high in the
vouncils of the party. Another object
If the meeting was to induce Mr. Wat
lou to modify iu some particulars his
letter of acceptance, which the two com
mitteemen, had in their possession. The
contents of the letter were known to the
populist committee nt Chicago before the
recent address was issued and Commit
teeman ReeJ telegraphed Mr. Watson
under no circumstances to give it to the
public until after tha coiuereiice with
him.
Mr. Watson thereupon consented to
hold it until his arrival. Mr. Reed ap
peared to be very much pleased witli the
results of his viait nnd stated to polit
ical friends that Georgia populists wore
very indignant that he. a personal rep
resentative of Mr. Watson, should have
signed the address issued recently by
the populist commit tee at Chicago, but
their judgment and criticisms were pre
mature because they did not have the
information he had when the address
was issued and intimated that his action
hud met the full approbation of Mr.
Watson.
Mr. Watson loaves here tomorrow for
Atlanta, where he will meet the repre
sentative of Chairman Jones.

the following appeal late this afternoon.
'National Democratic 1 leaiiquiirtcis.
Chicago, Oct. I'd. The Aine.-iean llag

honor and it will always remain so. It
is too snored to be prostituted for par

has always been for good to all

for the advancement of all that is best in

sentiment of patriotism and national
pride. I. therefore, suggest that on

sire to preserve the country's honor and
independence as it came to us from the
fathers, who believe in the rights of
every man, rich or poor, to oust n free
and untranmieled ballot, who oppose gov
ernment by corporations and coercion of
voters and desire that real ami genuine
prosperity may once again ivturn to
bless our people, display the national
colors at their homes, their places of
business and wherever they may be
seen, in order that voters whose hearts
are for their country may bo cheered and
their purposes strengthened, and that
those who are wavering may take cour
age of their patriotism to perform their

TIIE SHOPLIFTER'S SKIRT.
It Has Pockets for a Spool of Thread or
a Roll ot SilU.
Tin. new summer styles in shoplifters'
skirts this year introduce some strikingly
novel features. 1 hose ingenious gar
ments are not displayed ior saic in cieu
the largest furnishing stores.
The particular advantage ot tnc various
news styles ol pocuets are noi nra mi
vertised! Brit the fact remains that an
unusual number of these deceitful gar
ments are being worn, and to some pur-ll0'-
,
A woman s sun t is nu meal pni'iucm
for the nsr of the thievish. A man. no
matter ho.v clever a thief he may bo. is
at a decided disadvantage in this ro-
qiect. His pockets are small and badly
nrrnnged. Any bulky object slipped into
one of them is likely to make it bulge nnd
attract suspicion.
Beneath the easy tolds ot one or tne
full skirts which are worn . nowadays
there is ample room and perfect conceal
ment for scores of pockets of every con
ceivable size and design.
A renorter interviewed the detectives 111
the largest retail stores in the city last
week to find inst what the prevailing
styles iu such skirts were.
The most dangerous ot these devices,
it was found, is the long, wide pocket
which is hung from the waistband nnd is
provided with openings at both the front
and bacK. in some cases iiiese pocKcts
have been found to be several feet long,
reaching almost to the ground.
The openings in these generous pock
ets are usually a foot or more in width
so that very large objects may be sli
IH'd in them. It will bo readily under
stood that a very heavy article could be
curried in this way for some distance
without, nttraeiug attention. Those pock
ets are generally used to carry off whole
pieces of silk or other valuable goods.
The style of wearing rows of buttons
connected with some form or frili, which
is so common this year, affords the shoii
lifter a new opportunity. A number of
skirts have been captured in which a row
of concealed pockets was attached to
those, and a loose frill was used to cover
up the mouth.
These pockets are usually quite shal
low but answer very well for carrying
small objects. Their position, high up
near the waist, brings them on the level
with the counter, so that small objects
may be slipped into them with very little
chance of attracting attention.
The most dangerous pocket of all is the
one which extends around the entire
skirt with openings at the waist. There
are usually four mouths or openings to
these pockets at the front and roar nnd
on both sides. Such pockets convert the
skirt into an immense circular bag which
may be capable of holding several bushels'
of valuables.
It may be easily filled and when it has
lioen made very heavy in this way the
shoplifter will have but little trouble in
carrying it without attracting attention.
The single long deep pockets are old
style. They are usually very spacious
and their ojHiiings are safely concealed
among the folds of the dress.
The ordinary forms of skirt pockets
common to all skirts are seldom used by
these light-fingered women. The objec
tion to them is that they are much too
small, and that a dangerous amount of
time must be consumed to find them,
even by those who are most familiar with
them.
A I ARMENIAN 101
PROMINENT ENGLISHMEN AT
TEND A PROTEST DEMON
STRATION IN LONDON.
He Hoped Something Would Be Done
to Strengthen Lord Salisbury's
Hands Says Sultan Has Re
corded Final Condemnation,
Loudon, Oct, 10. St. James' hall was
packed with an audience of 2000 people
tonight, a large proportion of whom were
women, to take part in the demonstra
tion of protest against the Armenian
massacres. Nearly 7000 people applied
for admission to the hall. . .
The Bishop of Boston presided instead
of the Duke of Westminster, who wrote
regretting that ill health compelled him
to be absent.
A large number of the peerage and
prominent people sat on the platform.
Ten peers, twenty-eight bishops and a
number of deans and non-conformist
ministers wrote expressing their regret at
their inability to attend the meeting.
Intense enthusiasm was manifested by
those present, especially over the read
ing of a letter from Mr. Gladstone, ex
pressing the hope that the meeting would
worthily crown the Armenian meetings
of the past two months, which, lie said,
were without a parallel during his politi
cal life. The great object, Mr. Glad
stone said, further, was to strengthen
Lord Salisbury's hands and stop the
series of massacres, which was probably
still unfinished, and to provide against
their renewal. As he believed that
Lord Salisbury would use his powerful
position for the best, personally he ob
jected in the strongest manner to
abridging Lord Salisbury's' discretion by
laying down this or that as things- which
lie ought not to do. It was a wild para
dox without the support of reason or his
tory to say that the enforcement of
treaty rights to stop systematic massa
cres, together with effective security
against Great Britain's abuses for selfish
purposes, would provoke the hostilities of
one or more of the powers. To adver
tise beforehand in the ears of the great
assassin that Groat Britain's action
would cut down what the most backward
ot the six powers think to be sufficient
would be the abandonment of duty nnd
prudence and would be to doom tlie na
tional movement to disaster. The con
cert of Europe, said Mr. Gladstone, was
valuable nnd important, but such an
announcement would certainly bo fol
lowed by its failure.
Mr. Gladstone's letter concludes as
follows:
"I have had special opportunities of
knowing of what materials the sultan,
with all his seeming obstinacy, is made,
trom deplorable and disgraceful causes
he triumphs for the moment, but for the
moment only. In the face of civilized
mankind he has recorded the final con
demnation, first and foremost, of him
self, but next, and no less effectually,
those who have been his willing, brutal
and sanguinary tools."
The meeting unanimously adopted reso
lutions expressing abhorrence of the Ar
menian massacres and support of tlie
British government in its effort to stop
them: appealing to the powers to co
operate, and asking all nations and
creeds to assist iu the succor of the help
loss and starving Armenians.
VISITED THE CZAR.
Darmstadt. Oct. lil. Emperor Wil
uam ot Germany arrived hero this after
noon on a visit to the czar, but only re
mained two hours nt the palace, after
tvliich he returned to Wiesbaden. His
majesty's visit to the czar is declared to
be one of pure conrtcsy.
PROBABLY A PRACTICAL JOKE.
Madrid. Oct. lil. The newspapers re
port that the departure of the court from
San Sebastian, where the king and queen
regent have spent the summer, for this
city, was delayed by the discovery of a
dynamite cartridge at Suinninrngn. As
the cartridge did not have a detonator
and as inquiry failed to reveal the' slight
est additional suspicious circumstances,
no importance was attached to the inci
dent. ALL IN GOOD SHAPE.
Gunyquil. via Galveston. Oct. 10. The
officials of the Bank of Ecuador succeed
ed at S o'clock this morning in opening
for the first time since the great tire the
vaults of that institution. They found
the paper money, documents and books,
not to mention the coin contained in the
vaults, to be in perfect condition. This
will tend to restore confidence and will
lend to an earlier resumption of business
than was at first anticipated.
COMPELLED TO SPEAK EASY.
London. Oct. 10. The Marquis of Sal
isbury, replying to a correspondent who
had expressed the hopejhnt the govern
ment would make known its opinion on
the Armenian question, says he regrets
he is not in a position to speak freoiy on
the subject, as if he could, he might re
move some of the apprehensions. But,
he continues, as Great Britain is not ta li
mit isolated notion at Constantinople,
there are obvious objections to his speak
ing freely which would not exist if the
government wore acting independently of
the European powers.
ROYAL MARRIAGE PARTY.
Cettinje. Montenegro, Oct. 10. The
Crown Prince of Naples and the Princess
Ilelene of Montenegro started for Italy
today accompanied by the prominent

route to the station was lined by the
urmy. a royal salute was fired, and the
prince and princess were enthusiastically
thoored.

LONDON WHEAT EXCITEMENT.
London. Oct. 10. The financial article
in the Times says: 1
The receipt of the cable advices from
America giving the prices of wheat caus
ed a scene almost of consternation in the
exchange, such as is not usually seen ex
cept iu war times. A large business was
done.
The rise appears to be due to the sales
of American wheat for India, which
frightened the speculators n good deal
Cautious observers think that the rise of

counts the effect of the abnormal Indian
