GREETING TO BRYflfl
TEX THOUSAND I'KOPLE OUT TO
HEAR HIM AT MIKX2~
AI'OLIS.
SILVER ISSUE IN 1900.
tIEMARKS OF THE NEBRASKA*!
RECEIVED WITH GREAT
APPLAUSE.
Continued from First race.
after the Dingley bill passed that sec
tion 22 was in it.
This nvlly was greeted with general
laughtf .
Sketching the process by which the
Silver sentiment had made Its way into
political platforms, while the gold
standard was without a single party
"as Its outspoken champion, and then
the party which received 7,000.000 votes
the gold standard in the placa
pf a temporary expedient, pending such
lime as the nations of the world could
Unite on a bimetallic basis. The only
barty that did declare the gold stand
ard was a good thing, polled nearly
i per cent of the vote of the American
people. And the men who started this
party favored international bimetal
lism or professed to, up to the time
Uiey bolted the Chicago convention,
f heir vote showed practically no sentl
knent in behalf of the gold standard.
Jt was the one thins in American poli
tics that .very one could kick at with
out fear of resistance. The first thing
McKinley did after he got in was \q
write out a confession that the gold
standard was a curse to the nation.
He should not be made the scapegoat,
however. He stood for his party. A
Republican congress with scarcely a
dlsa nting vote appropriated $100,000 to
pay the expenses of the monetary com
mission, while it traveled around
Europe crying "Help!' 1
Mr. Bryan's chatty introductory style
•gave way to a more fiery one as he de
duced from the experiences of the
knonetary commission on the other side
Df the ocean the conclusion that labor
ing and producing classes In France,
In Germany, and in England, were for
bimetallism, but the coterie 5f bankers
)n Lombard street, by a secret resolu
tion, had turned the faces 'of the com
knissfon back toward America with the
admonition not to te£ any encourage
ment be given to the bimetallists.
Snatching a brand from the embers
of the last campaign, the Nebraska
orator for the first time awakened the
likeness of
OLD-TIME EXCITEMENT,
when he shouted, dramatically: "No
name, however harsh, that they can
apply to me can swerve me from the
resolve I have made that if I can help
It our nation shall not be dictated to
and controlled by a secret meeting of
London bankers."
"God never created any class so wise
Dr so good that they should have the
power to expand and contract at will
jt nation's money," was another char
acteristic summary of political prem
ises that won the rhu.st enthusiastic ap
plause.
Another sentiment that stirred the
pouls of his hearers was the criticism
Df Secretary Gages purpose to retire
the greenbacks, in the face of Presi
dent McKlnley's letter of acceptance
Jn which he stated that he would keep
in circulation all the moneys then a
part of the United States currency.
Other gems of concentrated philoso
phy by Mr. Bryan were:
"The Republicans had said there was
gold enough In 1895. Why, then, aid
they rejoice at the discovery of gold In
the Klondike?"
"They said the dollar should be made
to buy as much as it could. Then they
began to rejoice when the price of
■wheat began to rise, and that of the
dollar to fall off.
"If prosperity had come to stay, why
were New England manufacturers re
ducing wages?
"The Republican party was so anx
ious to get on the side of rising prices
that they rejoiced in advancing wheat,
even though it was due to a famine
in ai. other country. If rising prices
were a good thing, why did they not
espouse the cause of bimetallism, which
would raise prices without starving
anybody?
"They had attributed the hard times
to extravagance, and then blamed
economy for their continuing lfard.
How was this consistent?
"The bimetallist did not Insult Amer
ican intelligence in singing the same
Did song. Tho fault was with the gold
bug, who never sang the same song
twice.
"We must tell tho nations of Europe
lhat we have as much right to protpct
Dur people nnd their property as they
have to conspire against us.
"I am willing to set the man who has
studied these questions enough to
know that when one end of a teeter
board goes up, the other end must go
down, I will pit that man against any
hired attorney of any rich corpora
tion."
Mr. Bryan's closing gem was the
tribute to the fair sex previously men
tioned.
IT WAS A GREAT BANQUET.
Biß - K«*st Gathering «>f tlie Brarci In
Many Veursi.
A nroud c-limax to the celebration of Jack-
Son d;iy by the Central Demoe-ratio association
was tho banquet given by the Young Men's
Democratic club at ihe West last evening to
■\Villiain J. liryan. It waa to have been held
In the dining room, but, like the Exposi
tion auditorium, that proved too small, and
an overflow banquet, so to speak, was held In |
the ladies' ordinary. Tables had been pro-
Tided in the main dining room for nearly COO i
and a!l wero filled, making It, wlih one or
two exceptions, the largest company ever
gathered in the hotel on the occasion cf a
dinner. The rooms wero simply but ur^ttlly
deeoratc-d with flags and shields. The visage
of Andrew Jackson beamed down on the
chairman, and. from the other end of tho
hall, looked down the counterfeit present
ment of the guest of honor. Both were pret
tily draped or set with the American flag.
At the h< ad table sat President William Bald
win, of the Young Men's club; Toaatinastor
P. D. Winston, J. \V. Lawrence, Judge VVtllia
F. G. Holbrook, C. M. Foote, J. J. and \. T.
Ankeny. W. H. Donahue, James Gray, Father
J. M. Cl&ary. L. A. Kosing, T. D. O'l'.r ?n
and the following ladies from the La<li«-s'
Bimetallic league, who had assisted In uoco

It was after 11 o'clock when the tables
were cleared and those who had enjoyed their
repast in the ordinary fiied into the main hall
for tho enjoyment of the intellectual feast
that was to follow. The programme of toasts
had been arranged with Mr. Bryan last, and
everyone evinced a disposition to stay for
the real event of the banquet.
William Baldwin, tho president of the
Young Men's club, thanked the corrrmlttee
for its work in preparing for the banquet,
and the chairman and member 3of the state,
central committee for the interest they had
taken and the trust they had shown In the
young men. Ho paid a tribute to Jackson,
tho embodiment of all that was good and
true in tho past record of Democracy, and
whose spirit was well reincarnated in the
person of the Democracy's leader In the last
campaign, William Jennings Bryan. (Ap
plause.) In spite of defeat, the young Demo
crats would march on as did Old Hickory at
New Orleans, and fight for the perpetuation
of the cardinal principles of which he waß
one of the best and earliest exponents.
Mr. Baldwin then introduced the toastmas
ter, and the ex-mayor made one of the btst
speeches he ever made. The big expo meet-
Ing and the big banquet had warmed him
up, and he said he was not so proud at be
ing chosen toastmaster as he was over the
fine showing made by the advocates of the
silver cause. It was an eminently represen
tative gathering of the fighting Democracy of
■Minnesota, and the emphasis the ex-mayor
put on the word fighting won a hearty round
of applause.
Mr. Winston then introduced Chairman
Rosing, who was given a rousing "he's all
right." Mr. Rosing said:
"Mr. Bryan, permit me to present to you
tho Minnesota representatives of a cause that
some people call dead."
He thanked tho Young Men's club in be
half of the state- committee. It was an ap
propriate place for the young men. It was a
young man's fight. They came mar victory
In 1890; they would come nearer in 1.900. Let
them get together and help to win the pre
liminary battle of 1898. Mr. Rosing also ex
tended the thanks of the organization to C.
M. Foote, Judge Rand and Michael Breslauer,
lie also welcomed to the banquet, -Our allies
of 1890, the People's party and uir Silver Re
publican party."
Tho stale organization, ho felt, desired to
secure. Is thorough a fellowship <-f thesa
forces in 1898 as Jbev hnd hi j^O. Any Self
constitutcd leader wTio got In the way of this
desire cf the people was liable to get hurt.
Tqq appjausa that greeted these sentiments
must have daunted the antl-fusjonists, had
there been any present. Mr. Rosing closed
with regrets for the absence of M< ssrs. J >n< a
and Lind— the name of the latter especially
being received with rousing cheers.
"Andrew Jackson' 1 was me toast assigned
to James w. Lawrence. "\VhaJ 1 * "■" •»
with, «ffl=y! H£s aJJ light!" echoed from
all around the foom.
Mr. Lawrence si!d:
It Is said that history repeats itself and
certain recent events in political life prove
the saying true.
Kighty-thrpe- years agn occurred the now
famous battle of New Orleans, where the
choice trcops of tho British army were met.
and vanquished by the raw and undisciplined
militia of America, commanded by the sub
ject of this toast, Andrew Jacks n.
Though the battle was fought after p ace
had boon declared, and was a useless sacrifice
PJf life, yet the result was hailed with joy
throughout the land, and tho brow.-* cf rack
son were crowned with victory.
But the name and fame and reputation of
Andrew Jackson elo not rest upon th.t j;reat
victory, but rather upon those greater vic
tories Of UCwTCe.
Upon bis election as president of this great
republic In 1828 (only To years ago), Ja
round a peculiar state of affairs Nearly
every former president and th. ir senators
and representatives were college breJ; mar
ly every place of honor nnd profit under
tho government bad been held for years by
tho sain.' i> >r.-le, who had grown confident
In their tenure of office, and looked with
doubt and suspicion upon tn? plain and un
lettered. It had become fashionable to snei r
at the common people and underrate! their In
telllgenco and judgment. There was a com
mon and ail-prevailing fear of universal suf
frage.
Andrew Jackson was tlio first reaJly great
representative cf the plain people cf this
land. His career was tlio flrrt to nrove bore
that In truth tho voice of the pro;)].- was the
voice cf Oc-l.
Ho had tho utmost faith in tho honesty
and judgment of tho people, and tin v the
utmost confidence in "Old Hickory." His re
moval from public place of many of Uu so
Bneerers and appointment of new men was
then, as the same thins Is today, di nounced
by the upper class as dangerous, experimental
and anarchistic But the plain people felt
that through Andrew Jackson tho constitu
tional promise of the equality of man was
boing fulfilled, and when congress granted
a renewal of tlio charter to tho United States
bank, Jackson vetoed tho act. with th:it cour
age that makes heroes of public men. The
business men of the country and the poli
ticians stood aghast at the unparalleled
audacity cf tho man.
Hero was a bank with a oanltal of $.T>,0")0 -
000, discounts of $-10,000. CM. with tho sole pow
er to issue tho paper currency, with twenty
five branches In as many cities, having a
president, cashier and board of directors for
each, end stockholders in every county in the
land. Nearly every prominent and business
man in the country was interested in this
hank. It was the creddtor of nearly every
congressman, the controller of the policy of
nearly every newspaper. It. had power, it
tliou2ht, to mike and remake presidents.
Andrew Jackson realized tlio power and
knew its dancer. and hesitated not to do his
duty. When Nicholas Biddle. tho president of
the bank, offered to re-elect Jackson, in re
turn for his assistance and said he could do
it, b-!d!y spoke the man of the people, realiz
ing that rower:
"Mr. Biddle, this country is not large
enough for two such bresidents aa Andrew
Jackson and Nicholas Biddle"
He maintained his course was necessary to
preserve the morals of tho people, the free
dom e>f the' press and the purity r>f the elec
tive franchise.
In his veto message ho says: "The> United
States proposes by this renewal to bestow
exclusive prlviloires of immense pecuniary
value; ami by doing so restricts the liberty
of all other citizens. This is monopoly."
What though his cabinet dissolved? 110 ap
pointed a new one. What though his secre
tary of the treasury refused either to act or
resign? He removed him. What though de
sorted by newspapers; attacked by Webster
Clay and his former associate. Calhoun and
others of their class? What though denounc
ed by business debtors and petitioned by
thousands— Andrew Jackson knew his duty
and dared to do It.
Listen to Mr. Biddle's comments upon the
veto message:
"It has all the fury of a chained panther
biting at tho bars of his cage. It is really a
manifesto of anarchy, such aa a Marat or
Robesnlerre miKht have issued 10 a mob "
Oh! Hanma! Oh, ye partisan press! Oh! ye
Pharisees In your pride, do not think In call
ing us anarchists you say something row
You but rppeat the words of Nicholas Biddle. !
You simply reiterate wh-U has always b°cri
said, by the favored and privileged when
ever their privileges are threatened.
Tho battle of 1.536 was then and there fousht
by Andrew Jackson. There were no anarch
ists then: there are are no 0.500,000 anarchists
now. Then, as now. Jackson and his id^as i
were sui-ported by the masses, and opposed
by Q - privileged class. He achieved a great
and glorious victory, as does always in this
Country a man of the people. Who shall say
that history does not repeat Itself?
The keynote to Jackson's public life and
record was always his confidence In tho peo
ple ond his ultra fearlessness of conse
quences. It is said all the world over loves n
lover, but I say all the world worships a
bravo man ir. public life. Never was Jackson '
found wanting when occasion dpmanded him i
In those days, a3 In these, there were tariffs, ''
though not one-quarter as burdensome as
the present, but when either faction reared
Its hend in South Carolina and tho doctrine
was advocated at a Jefferson banquet by
many of his political frl« nds, Andrew Jack
son w;!s a patriot, and ho threw a firebrand
among them by the famous toast, "The Fed
eral Unicn; It Must Be Preserved." And
.-' ortly after he said to a friend:
Say to my friends in South Carolina, if a
single drop of blood is shed in opposition to
Iho laws of the United States. I will hang
tho first man I can lay my hands on engaged
In such treasonable conduct to the first tree
I can find."
It split his own party, but the patriotic
people hailed it with joyful acclaim. He de
clared that any man who had hold office
should be ineligible for office during his term
and for two years after.
All such appointments smack of bargain
end corruption.
These great questions regarding bonks of
issue, tariff anti-monopoly, official clas3?s,
unlcn'cf mcnled classes into trusts as against
the masses: the cry of anarchy were issues
in Jackson's day ore Issues now.
Imagine. If you can. the establishment of
the single gold standard In Jackson's day!
Imagine, if you can, government by injunc
tion and tho punishment of men without trial
by jury in his day.
And, then. Imagine If you can, the position
of Andrew Jackson tonight.
Ho would this moment be clasping tho hand
of William J. Bryan with hearty grasp of
good will and encouragement. He would be
taking his stand today with the regenerated
Democracy which we repr"«pr>t her" feni"' 1 *
Other toasts were "The Press end th-? Poli

listened to with c!o;e et en'l n n spl!o of th"
lateness of the hour, the Democrats present
declaring with one aceorJ, "We won't gj

BRYAN AT THE I.MVERSITY.
Makes a Short Address to tlie Stu
dents.
W. J. Bryan spent the morning In sight
seeing and visiting the university and high
schools. lie arose about 8 o'clock after a
good night's rest, and after breakfast held
a short conference with the chairman of the
committee in regard to the day's programme.
A. T. Ankeny, as chairman of the reception
committee, took Mr. Bryan In hand and pilot
ed him about the city. Previous to going out
a reception was held in the state central
committee's rooms at the West hotel, at
which the Democrats from the country towns
were present to greet the guest of the occa
sion.
The university meeting was arranged for
Monday evening, Mr. Bryan being invited to
address the students by President Northrop.
The matter of receiving Mr. Bryan was left
In the hands of the students. At 10 o'clock
two young men from the university arrived
with a carriage, and conducted Mr. Bryan and
Mr. Ankenr to the university. The party ar
rived Just at chapel time. It had been gen
erally noised about the campus that the dis
tinguished visitor would be present, and the
chapel was crowded with a solid mass of stu
dents from all departments. As Mr. Bryan,
preceded by President Northrop, stepped upon
the platform where the faculty was arranged
on both sides, a perfect torrent of applause
greeted him. The clapping of hands was ac
companied by cheers. It rolled and bound., v
in waves. Every man who has ever addressed
the university studen.^ L'arrk3 away a most
vivid impresslyj) ?,f the greeting. The ap
plause wbiti the students give is peculiar
arjd characteristic only of Minnesota.
President Ncrthrop conducted th.g chapel
exercises in the usual manner. In liis intro
duction of Mr. Bryan, he said Jhf.t he be,
lieved £ha^ po living man. fad" ever t>e<-n
j Ut*ra l>y so rrifiiiy people ;'i.s Mr. Bryan. He
paid him a high tribute as an orator. As
Mr. Bryan stepped to the front of the plat
form he was again greeted by that terrific
burst of applause. It continued for fuliy two
minutes. He delivered an inspiring address
to the students. All mention cf political mat
ters was avoided, and the .subject based malii-
S! upon what a university education should
o for the young men and women, lie caid in
part:
"Of all gatherings that I ever address I can
•■--- " kivs me the greatest pleasure to
si ;",k to students. Tt " omSXg *&S /-U"
dents, after spending a term oi .*~~ r * j£
Studying and Investigating matters of his'
tory, philosophy, economics and other mat
ters, go forth to Influence and better the
world by their knowledge. Then they learn
by experience and get their world's educa
tion from the world. but the university
knowledge is absorbed by others, and the
world bettered in consequence.
"It is an occasion of special pleasure to
me to spr-ak to students at the University
cf Minnesota. The university occupies a
very high position, and has a pewer and in
fluence In tho university world. This ta due
not only to its si-.^e, Its buildings and equip
ments "but to th« distinguished men who
preside over its destinies. In my own city
wo have another state university, th:it of the
state of Ne-braska, ar.<l th.> man who pre
sides over tt recirvesi his training in Min
nesota and under Dr. Northrop. Csocequently
the bond (,f union la vc-ry great between th?
two institutions."
At tti' Conclusion cf Mr. Bryan's speech
he was greeted for the third time with th>
enthusiastic applause which was only qubt'-d
by President Northrop rising to thaiik Mr.
Bryan. 11<> said:
"The university is especially glad to wel
come Vr. liryan, and he has our v mv st
thanks for his noble and innpirlng words. I
am sure th-W. we Klia'l remerrbpr what he has
said all our lives. Now I have no doubt but
that the studenta wou '1 bo very ftlad to
Shake Mr. Bryan's hands (d n't bo a'arniel
Mr. Bryan, there are only ;>b lit L'.fi w ) of usi.
but in view of the fact that the hand shakes
which be wi uld receive ii- m th:> students
would b" more than like'y to Fhafce nil h'B
Ideas and thoughts out rf him. I will eom
promlxe that matter and by n:<ruirg myself
as a yo-ui'K msn represen irq the iiniver ity
and its fctudents, I will shake Mr. Bryan's
hand and wish him Cod spfed. We are al
ways very grateful to prominent mm wrin
come to us a!;d give us the benefit of ih l
experience. Again I thank Mr. Brytui. and
assure him of our gratitude to him for com
ing to us."
At 12:20 Mr. Bryan, acrompan ea by Mr.
Ankeny. went to the Central high school,
where the students were assembled in the
auditorium on the top floor. He was greeted
most enthusiastically by the students, and
delivered a short address during which h->
paid high tribute to the excellent cduoitlonal
system of the United States. Ho said ha was
always glad to address aivllr>nces of young
men and women, for he realized that the/
represent the future of the nation. He paid
a romipllment to tho public schools of Min
neapolis by saying that, he hnd heard of the
high standard wliich they had at'ainfd. H's
rorr-arks were applauded heartily by the larg^
body of students.
At 1 o'clock he was tak >n by Mr. Ankeny
to the home of Judge Robert I). Ruasel",
where ho was entertained at lunch.
HONORED BY THE* LADIES.
Reception t<> Mr. Bryan at tlie West
Hotel.
The women, who have been faithful to Mr.
Bryan and his principles, were not to be left
out of any social courtesies extended their
party leader, and so the Democratic commit
tee arranged that the Woman's Bimetallic
club should give Mr. Bryan a reception yes
terday afternoon. The hour annunced was
3 o'clock, at the West hotel, but It was nearly
three-quarters of an hour later before the
guest of honor appeared. Then ho came in
hurriedly from his conference outside and
repaired to his room to make himself pre
sentable for the company that awaited him.
The corridors were well occupied with women,
with a few men, including members of the
Democratic committee. A. T. Ankeny, C. M.
Foote W. J. Baldwin and others. Sorun of
the women had been waiting in patience
since the stroke of the hour, and others con
tinued to arrive until, when Mr. Foote es
corted Mr. Bryan from the south corridor,
there was quite a company assembled. Mr.
Bryan was all smiles, proffering his hand to
everybody. The executive committee of the
Bimetallic club was the appointed reception
committee, and at once replaced Mr. Foote,
accompanying Mr. Bryan to the parlor, while
the guests followed. Mrs. Ella L. Holmes
is president of the clvi»; Mrs. W. E. Gooding,
secretary; Mrs. L. M. Rheem, Mrs. Van Al
styne, Mrs. E. F. Griswold were the other
members of the committee. Before the visi
tors were introduced there was a ceremony
of presentation, in which Mrs. M. N. Towne,
a member of the Bimetallic club, figured as
the leader. In the name of the club she
presented Mr. Bryan with a handsome bunch
of roses, of wh'.eh sixteen were white and one
yellow. The significance was apparent. Mr.
Bryan immediately decorated his buttonhole
with a white rose. Mr. Ankeny ushered the
guests to the reception committee, and the
presentations were made by Mrs. Holmes,
who stood on Mr. Bryan's left. The visitors
passed from the cast parlor through the mid
dle room and out the blue reception room.
Thy only break In tho handshaking and in
troductions was Mr. Bryan's brief speech,
in which he peculiarly adapted himself to his
audience. Mr. Ankeny announced that Mr.
Bryan would say a few words, and the formal
introduction was made by Mrs. Holmes, who
spoke very prettily and with evident pride.
She said that thi3 was tho first time women
had been considered of any account in poli
tics, the first time In this or any country a
presidential candidate had shown his appre
ciation of woman's woik and influence, as
Mr. Bryan had done in the last campaign.
She said further that he received their
hearty support then, and he most certainly
should receive it in 1900. Mr. Bryan ac
knowledged the presentation and hastened to
declare himself as not being the first man
who felt the power of woman's influence,
for no man who was at all conspicuous but
had been influenced by mother, wife or sister,
and for tho president who is now occupying
the White house he said he could not, If he
had tried, have shown a higher respect for
his mother than President McKinley had
shown for his. "I am glad we have such
a man in the White house." he said.
Referring to woman's place in politics, he
was glad that women are able to show their
influence in peaceful ways as well as in the
disturbances of war, as history has related.
He has found in his Journeying through the
country that women have taken Interest in
his party independent of woman suffrage.
They worked for him and the principles he
represented, Irrespective of any desire to
vote. He attributes this to the Interest of
the mother in the questions that affect the
welfare of her son. From that he argued the
battles we are fighting are not for ourselves;
they are for those who come after. If the
problem Is solved in the present it means
happiness for the future.

to have been offend a bribe at his
home In Cincinnati, that case could
be brought only before the grand jury
of Hamilton county, and it would be
necessary for Representative Otis to
be there as a witness. Mr. Otis aod
others, who would be wanted as wit

that Mr. Otis would be absent tomor

it was cast te,day, the absence of Mr
Otis and others opposed to Hanna
would have no pff^ot ()n thp result
Others talk of filibustering but the
opposition could not break a joint quo
rum if all their members should re
main away. The other case of alleged
bribery comes from the other side
Representative Snyder, of Green coun
ty. Who had been stopping at the Neil
hou.se during the past week, voted to
day for Hanna. for Boxwell for speak
er last Monday a week ago and at
tended the Republican house caucus
one week a.go last Saturday The op
ponents of Senator Hanna' have been
after him closely and constantly It
a allied that Mr. Madkey came to
the Xeil house last week to see Mr
Hnyder a,nd that he claimed to repre
sent Kurtz and Bliss. Representatives
Pnyder had anticipated the visit and a
stenographer was concealed In the
bath room adjoining his apartments
It is charged tha*t Mr. Snyder was of
fered $5,000 for his vote and that the
names of his backers were given by
the caller. The stenographic report of
the conversation between Snyder and
Madkcy is in the hands of Hon C C
Rathbone, who was assistant post
master general under Harrison, ond
who is here as one of the managers
for Hanna. It has be^i reported for
several days that this case was be
fore the grand jury of Franklin coun
ty, but when that body closed its
work -this evening it was unofficially
stated that neither the Madkey case
nor any other case connected with the
senatorial contest was before that
body. While it Is not likely that any
indictment will be made yet, it is quite
probable that there will be an attempt
in the legislature tomorrow for a dra
matic scone on the charges of bribery
The opposition Is charging the Hanna
men tonight with voting down tho mo
tions and tho resolutions today for an
investigation of the bribery charges
made by Representative Otis. The
Hanna men .say they will give the full
r-st consideration to this investigation
at the proper time, but that the pur
pose of these charges now is to stain*
pede the legislature on the balloting
for senator and that such a schemi
cannot be carried through. Some of
the Hanna men also state that at tha
proper timo they will reorganize the
house as the vote of today showed that
they had a majority of three over all
in that body.
Speaker Mason, of the house, tonight
gave out the following:
To tho Public: Tho principal reason why
I have been opposed to Mr. Hanna is because
of the fact that two years ago, when the
fifty-year franchl.se bill was before the legis
lature, I waa approaches by 'a man from
Cleveland, who was lobbying in the Interest of
that bill. He offered a britio of $1,000 If I
would vote far that measuiv.
At my conference with Mr. Hanna last Sat
urday I told him that this reason would pre
vent me from supporting him. because I be
lieved he knew the street railway of whlrh
he was president was behind tho man who
offered the bribe, and he himself was on tho
ground lobbying In the interest of the bill.
—Harry C. Mason.
The Democratic steering committee of the
fusionlsts tonight Issued the following mani
festo: To tho Public: Mpreus A. Hanna will
net be elected by this legislature.
Col. Jeptha Gerrard, of Cincinnati,
who has been spoken of as the candi
date of the free silver Republicans for
senator, when Informed that Hanna
had received enough votes to elect him,
did not appear surprised, and spoke as
he expected such a result. He said:
"It was impossible to secure the vote
of the Cincinnati delegation for Mc-
Kisson, as his sympathy for silver was
doubted."
Gov. Bushnell tonight said: "I sim
ply desire to repeat the statement
which I made a day or two since, the J
result rests with the members of the
1< gislature. Whoever they may elect
will receive my cordial support." The
governor again repeated that ho had
been misrepresented and misquoted by
certain newspapers. He declared that,
in some instances, absolute malicious
ness had been reached.
Mayor McKisson, of Cleveland, was
in conference during the evening with
the opposition, and it was declared very
emphatic-ally by the leaders that the
fight had not by any 'mearis been lost,
and that they would againi rally their
forces in the joint ballot tomorrow to
a sufficient degree to wrn the battle.
The Democratic members! of the leg
islature held another conference to
night at which Judge Ditty, a member
of the fusion steering committee re
ported that Kurtz h4d promised two
more Republican votes on the joint
ballot tomorrow. Notwithstanding this
report, it waa impossible >to get the
three Democrats who voted against
McKisson today to pledge^ themselves
for him tomorrow. Seyeral'^other Dem
ocratic members refused toj attend the
conference, although ifley were repeat
edly sf»nt for. After repeated efforts to
get all of the Democrats to vote with
the six dissenting Republicans and a
failure to do so. the conference ad
journed until 9 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
Among the propositions pending is
one to drop McKisson tomorrow and
vote for Jeptha Garrard. Representa
tives Drost and Lane, who had been
favorable to Garrard. voted for Hanna
today. Garrard's friends say there
v3s a time when the coalition might
have elected him, but now they do not

FORAKEII GUARDED.
Interviewed Regarding; the Outcome
In Ohio Fight.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.— When ask
ed his opinion tonight on the subject of
the first day's balloting in the Ohio
senatorial situation, Senator Foraker
said: "It seems to me that Ohio has
spoken for herself, and that there Is not
much to say."
On being assured that there was still
some interest expressed in his personal
opinion, he replied: "The contest has
been extraordinary In many respects,
and all who have the good of the party
at heart must be glad that it is ended.
The feeling that has been aroused has
been very bitter, but I trust that natu
ral conditions will soon obtain, and
that a united party will be the result."
As to th*' nrospect of the joint ballot,
the senator said: "I know nothing of
today's proceedings beyond the news
paper reports, but I do not see any
n ason to think the result tomorrow
will he different from that today. I am
glad that it is over bo soon. A pro
tracted deadlock, as In the Kentucky
case, would have been deplorable."
Mayor or I.ondoii'H (harlot.
Tho lord mayor of I^ondon'B ride in his
gilded coach costs money. Tho chariot U
used only at the installation of the mayo*
ai:d when he pays state visits, and as Victoria
is not partial to slate vlaita tho average
mayor gets but one rldo in tho gilded coach.
Nevertheless. It ccsts $625 a year to keep thf
gold coach in order. It weighs four tons,
and was built in 1757. long before- carriage
springs wero In general use. The body bang*
on four straps— technically named braces—
and the sensation of riding in the old coach
is exactly llko that of being rocked In %
cradle.
