GOLD BUGS AKE ALL IN THE WOODS lie llai Received Encouraging Word from Ohio nntl l'.'niiylvuniaVill Soon Hood the Country with Dry Silver Speeches in Pamphlet I'orm. WashliiRton, Aug. .1. Senator Faulk ner, chairman of the Iiemocratic con gressional campaign committee, re turned this morning from his home in Martinsburg, Va where he had gone to escape the heat over Sunday. He takes a very rosy view of the situation and predicts the triumphant success of the ticket for which he Is doing such ener getic work. "It Is the fashion In these days," said the senator, "to point to straws to show things are moving, and if they may be taken ns an Indication of the actual condition of affairs, I have only to point to existing conditions in my home county of Herkley. This was the only county in my state that sent a some I money delegation to the convention lo select delegates to the Chicago conven tion. This was only u month or so ago, and at that time Ihe sentiment appeared to lie all on the side of gold men. How is it today? A man could not be nomi nated and elected to the position of constable." said Mr. Faulkner, "unless he stood sipiarely on a free sliver plat form." "In niy mail this morning." said the senator. "I received a letter from I'an toii, i)., announcing the organization, i'U:ht at the home of .McKinley, of a Kepiiblican Hryan Free Silver club, and the elec tion of u prominent Republican and wealthy luaiiut'acturer us its tem porary president. I'Yoni another coun ty I have received advices that alter a Itryau club had been organized tlilny lb-publicans and thirty-seven Popu lists enrolled I lieinselves as members, and are doing g I work for the Dem ocratic ticket. l'p ill I'ennsy Ivanla I I have received word that the silver sen timent Is spreading with great rapidity, and in tin- Kleventh t'ongi esslonal dis trict, one that has always been heavily Republican, we are assured that we have an even chance of carrying Ihe district for the Democracy." Kl.iigl'KNCK IN KKSKKV H. Asked when lie though! the cam paign would be formally opened Sen ator l-'aiilkticr stated that he did not think it wise to begin Hie speech mak ing until about Ihe middle of Septem ber. "It takes some little lime," Midi he. "lo organize u corps of speakers and arrange for ihe canvass. I do nol myself approve of too long a cam paign, but that mutter, dining a presi dential year, is left to the uallonal committee." Speaking of the alleged revision of the Chicago speech of Mr. liryan, Sen ator Faulkner said: "The changes made by Mr. I'.ryan are linuiuterai I and consist of a word here and there. The stenographers had no means of knowing taking Ihe speech as It fell from (lie lips of Ihe speaker where he had useil quotations, and In tin re vision it will be found that Mr. I'.ryan places 'imitation marks around lie whole sentence referring to the 'crown of I In huh, anil the cross of gold.' The criticism of UiIh passage has lion hypercritical and it was but (air to Mr. ISryiMi Unit this speech shiKlld lie print ed properly in every' particular. I have ordered a reprint of the speech to the extent ol iTi.nuit copies. Altogether our copies of speeches will Uggregate up wards of many millions. Hrynii's money si ch, made in when the repeal of Hie Sherman net was bell's debated, lias had an unusual demand. It makes lliirly pages and we-ure hav ing hall' a million copies printed. I if .Mr. Teller's speech in the senate we have ordered a nuaiter of n million foi a starter and phi.ikhi of Mr. lialley s speech ut Sherman. Texas. The sixty page speech of Senator Daniel during Ihe last session, a speech intended to answer nil the arguments advanced by Senator Sherman and others, l.as len condensed to sixteen pages Slid on issue of L'ihi.iiiio printed. "The speech of Senator C'ockrell of Missouri dealing with statistics and overflowing with data on Ihe linnnclal iUestloll, together with the speech of Senator Jones of Arkansas on the same subject, are in great demand, utid have endeavored to have them printed by the hundreds of thousands so as to meet the call upon our committee for this literature. It would be dilli cult to say how many copies we have issued of the speech of Congressman Tuvviie, represent u.tlip of Minnesota, on the silver question. It Is one of the speeches most In demand. The same may be said of the speech of Represen tative William 1j. Terry of Arkansas, which deals with the subject succlnctly and. presents forty-live propositions with respect to the silver question." SKNATOK JONKS AT WORK. Senator Jones, chairman of the Dem ocratic national committee, was closet ed with the officers of the congressional campaign committee most of the day, it having been his 'first opportunity of getting acquainted with the work that hns thus far been done by that commit tee, and the plans it has mapped out for the future. Among his callers at headquarters were Senator flormun, of Maryland, and ex-Clerk of the House Kerr, of Pennsylvania. l A committee represenung ine local central committee, the various, state organizations and the clubs in the Dis trict of Columbia, called upon Mr. Jones this afternoon to persuade him to ar range fur Mr. Hryan to deliver a speech here. No conclusion on the matter was reached and will not be until after Mr. Bryan has been notified In New York on Aug. 12, and the arrangements have been made for his subsequent move ments. Kx-CIerk of the House of Representa tives Kerr will he given charge of the campaign In Pennsylvania owing to the retirement of Mr. Harrity, who Is not in sympathy with either the ticket or the platform. This afternoon Mr. Jones reiterated the statement that he would not decide upon the location of the na tional headquarters nor name the mem bers of the national committee until he reached New York nor until Mr. Bryan had been formilly notified. Represen- tatlve Pearson, of North Carolina, at Republican headquarters, reported a very satisfactory condition of things In lils state. SCHUYLKILL CONVENTION.

Tilde Is ample reason for Ihe belief 1 1 1:1 1 Mr. Bruce, himself a representative colored man, has not overestimated the Interest of Ills luce in Major McKinley. A muss of correspondence from the southern nml middle states, w hich has been received III Canton since Ihe SI. Louis convention, indicates with clear ness that the colored voters are dis posed to be loyal supporters of the Re publican ticket. Much interest in, Ihe opening meeting of I he campaign, which has been unnoiiiiceil fur Aug. I."i, is man ifested here. Many active McKinley lueii in both parlies talk of going lo Columbus und it is likely that it large delegation from the country will at tend.

Reed, of Maine, wauls to be present ut the opening of the Ohio campaign, but he has written Major McKinley that serious business engagements will make It Impossible for him to leave the east ut this time. He will speuk in Ohio later in t lie campaign. ' EIGHT MORE FUNERALS. ' Victim oft he Atlantic City Railroad Accident lliiricd. Bridgelon, N. J.. Aug.
