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.

over lo .Mr Cleveland uu unbroken gold
leserve, together with a comfortable
working balance. The real purpose, he

M'KINLEY'S REST.
In the llii) ft Quiel He I Preparing
His l.cller of Acceptance.
('union, (., Aug. 3. Major McKinley
has had a few ti.vys f quiet and he is
turning over In his mind the points
which lie thinks of discussing in his
letter of acceptance. He mill not, how
ever, aim lo have it ready for publica
tion fur three m- four weeks, ICx-Senat-or
II. K. Bruce, of Mississippi, was one
of the callers on Major McKinley today.
He Is familiar with the political situa
tion throughout the south and thinks
Major AlcKinley will carry Virginia,
Wist Virginia, Maryland. North Caro
lina mid Kentucky.
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. Senator Foraker and Senator
Sherman will be the chief speakers und
some orators of prominence from the
West will also be heard. Thomas B.
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.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
An Otsterinun Has Hern Arrested on
Charge of Having Killed a I'nrincr.
I.a Plate, Mil., Aug. n. Charles coun
ty has been the scene of another mys
terious and sensational murder, and it
is possible that unother lynching will
follow.
Lute Sunday night James J. Irwin,
a farmer, was found murdered In his
home at Aliens Fresh, a little hamlet
two miles from this place. Two bul
lets .hud been tired at him while he wis
asleep, both of .which entered his
bruin, (Jeorge Matthews, an oyster
man, who lives at Rock Point, ten
miles distant from the scene of the
tragedy, has been arrested, charged
with the crime, and Irwin's wife Is
under police surveillalnce. It Is said
that Matthews has been paying mark
ed attention to Mrs. Irwin and the
authorities hnve letters in their pos
session containing endearing terms
which Matthews wrote to the woman.
Mrs. Irwin says she discovered that
b,er husband was dead ut 11 o'idock
Sunday night. She ran to the house
of her father-in-law, UHl yards distunt,
and gave the alarm. She asserts that
she wus In bed beside her husband, but
evidence at the coroner's Inquest con
flict Willi her statements. The entire
community Is incensed, and If positive
guilt could be fastened 011 Matthews
he would undoubtedly be lynched,

Miss Wilson lo 100,000,000.
New York, Aug. 3. Despite the deter
mined opposition of his family, and in
deliance of threat of disinheritance, Mr.
Cornelius Vnnderbill, jr., was married
today to Miss lirace Wilson.
Mr. Vanderbllt, sr., warned the young
man that if he contracted the marriago
he would have to depend Uion his own
resources lor u livelihood and he need
expect no share of Ihe Vnnderbllt for

estimated to be worth.
Not a member of the Vanderbllt fam
ily was even invited to the wedding,

Workers Uecause of the Trouble nt
Urowu's.
cfeveland, O., Aug. 3. The labor sit
uation in this city Is again at a critical
stuge today. One hundred and fifty
non-union men went to work at the
Brown Hoisting works this morning.
They were guarded by four companies
of militia and a large force of police.
A big crowd of union men were present
but no outbreak occurred. The police
and soldiers kept the strikers moving
and would not permit them to stand In
one place more than a few minutes. The
big sympathetic strike movement which
has been threatened ever since the
strike at the Brown works begun eleven
weeks ago, was inaugurated this morn
ing. Klghty-seven men employed by
the Van Wagoner St Williams Co., hard
ware manufacturers, laid down their
tools and walked out of the works. The
men suld their only grievance was their
sympathy for the Brown Hoisting com
pany's men, und that employes of other
concerns would soon follow their lead.
Committees were sent out to other fac
tories along the lake shore to notify the
men that they were called out on strike.
One of the leaders of the Van Wagoner
strikers said that they would demand
of Mayor McKlssoii that the non
unionists he disarmed, und If this was
refused the strikers would arm them
selves and compel the non-unionists to
give up their weu irons by force if neces
sary. MILITIA OKI HCIt i:i) OCT.
