Evils ol' the Filly-Cent Dollar

Jlurrisou's Ap
proval ol the Address.
New York, Aug. 9. The tfnlon veter
ans' patriotic league, which was organ
ized recently to support McKlnley, has
Issued an address which will be sent to
every veteran in the United States. It
is in part as follows:
To the soldiers and sailors who served
in the I'ltiuii army und navy during the
war ot the rebellion.
Comrades: Your country Is again In
peril. In the present presidential cam
paign daiiK'i'viif combinations again
threaten tin- iiil. rlly of the government.
.MiSKUided and uiis.-riipuloiis men conspire
to brliiK repudiation, dishonor and llnaii

your valor.
Comrades, you tielirve In liberty under
law,, In public oi'lir. In Die nialnleiianre
of our courts ol Justice auJ In national
honor and Kuod lallh. You are unalter
ably opposed to the red flag of anarchy
and mob rule. We believe that you resent
with earnestness all attacks upon t lie ex
ecutive and Judicial departments of our
government ami - cuimneiid all measures
which vindicate the supremacy of the law
and restore public oiler whenever eiidaii
8 ere J.
Many of our great leaders have been
mustcied out (Irani, Sherman, Sheridan,
McCielluii, Hancock, Uurnslde, Garfield,
J.ogan, Llx and many others have gone to
their reward. Were they living they
would be united with us hi this crisis as
lliey were In the du uf the war. It re
Plains fur us to guard the good wolk they
upheld while lvit,g am to preserve all
they helped to gain for our country.
Should tills dangerous and revolutionary
political conspiracy against the tlmiuHal
honor and Integrity of the government
succeed, every pensioner, every depositor
In a savings bank, every policy holder 0
nu Insurance company, co-operattve bank
and building loan association and un-ivt-nieiit
Insurance society would lose one-half
of wind Is due him by being paid Ou-cni
dollars.
Keeling assure, I that In this crisis you,
the I'uloii veterans of the late war, are al
most unanimously culled In favor of an
honest government, we appeal to you to
lay aside all purtican differences and rally
to the support of our gallant comrade.
Major McKlnley.
We urge you to form yourselves into an
association to be known as "The I'nlon
Veterans' Patriotic league," and do all in
your power to secure the triumph of the

signatures of former inujor generals and
otllcers tn the United States uriny at the

K. Sickles. Horace Porter, Frank Slegel,
L. Kdwln Dudley, Oliver Howard. For

shaking hands with a large number
of people gathered there to say gisal
bye mid were driven to the Union station
accompanied by the members of the
Chicago reception committee. They
hud secured berths on the regular sleep
er and retired as soon as the train
drew out of the station.
Today was really a day of rest for
Mr. Hi. van one of the few he was alone
to pass since his nomination here
nearly a month ago. Mr. Bryan Is a
good sleeper, nnd despite the Intense
heat of lust night he rested well and
did not leave his bed until nearly lo
o'clock. After breakfast lit- and Mrs.
Bryan took a arrluge- at the Clifton
House, were they were stopping and
drove to the Knglcwood Presbyterian

Lincoln and they wanted to meet Mm.
Mr. Hill reently received u call to the
First Presbyterian church in Lincoln,
and will go there In a few weeks. After

and had dinner. At six o'clock Mrs.
Bryan attended a Christian P.ndeavor
service.
Mr. Bryan's plans at New York and
for his New Ktiglund trip uhc in a state
of uncertainty. It Is probable that

will lie the guests of William P. St.
John, treasurer of the Democratic Na
tional committee, who recently resigned
his position as president of a national
bank because of his free coinage views.
If they do not stop with Mr. St. John,
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan will go to the

mation that Daniel Morris, of Atlantic
City, on Friday made Bishop McFatil. of

NO WATSON. NO BRYAN."
Tcvns Populists to Fuse wi!b Repub
licans and Gold Democrats.
Galveston, Tex.., Aug. 9. Th Pop
ulist convention adjourned sine die
last evening after completing the tat-'
ticket.
The significant features of the s?s
sion and those which add further con
firmation to the deal to fuse with Re
publicans und gold standard lK-mu-crats
-was the failure of the resolu
tions committee to report on the "N i
Watson, no Bryun" resolutions. But
more than this wus the failure of the
convention to ratify the thirteen elec
tors by congressional districts.
MR. SINGERLY'S POSITION.
He Dues Not Propose to Be Read Out ol
Democratic Party by the
Populists.
Philadelphia, Aug. 9. The Hwrd
toinoi row wllj say editorially:
The Ueeord lias not failed to observe, If
It has railed to heed, the demand made
by various standing committeemen and
newspaper editors that Its publisher shall
forthwith withdraw from his place at the
head of the Democratic "electoral ticket.
Under our present system of choosing
presidents and vice presidents the position
of an elector curries with it no option or
authority except what has been done by
authority except to certify what has been
done by the voters. Whether Mr. gingerly
shall withdraw from the place in which he
was put by the Democracy of the state
without solicitation Is therefore a matter
of no consequence us affecting any po
litical result. The call of authority or
competence und has no motive that
carries It out of the range of eon
Utnpt. As a matter or fact .Mr. Sln
gerly hud underconslilerutlon the propriety
of withdrawing from the electoral ticket
before he did nut as a bank president
come within the excluding terms of the
law. The unexpected result of the pro
ceedings at Chicago und the unfortunate
participation uf Pennsylvania Democrats
In the choice of a candidate after the
ataiidotimeiit ot Democratic principles III
the adoption of a Populist platform, made
It proper that the eleclois named at Al
lentown should iiwntt whatever new deter
minations the steadfast Democrats of Uie
state and country should reach. So Mr.
Hirfei'ly sticks.
No mun need feur that McKlnley will
fail at he proper time to uvull hifself of
proper oporttiiily to avoid the humiliation
ulolved III casting the electarol vale or
Pennsylvania for Kryun and SewuU In
any unlocked for contingency. But the
Populists cannot read him out of the Dem
ocratic party. He believed on Democratic
principles and will support iheni as long
as his tongue can wag or there Is breut ill
his boirv. Meantime he will be the sole
judge of what Is due to the Democrats of
Pennsylvania, who hav honored hlin. and
mauds also what Is due his own self-respect.

QUIET WEEK AT CANTON.
Major McKlnley at Work on His Letter
of AcceptanceOhio Campaign to
Be Opened Saturday.
Canton, O., Aug. 9. This week will be
one of the quiet ones of the campaign
In Cuntou. one or two delegations are
expected und Mujor McKlnley may
make two or three short speeches, but
he hopes to give u great deal of time
in the next ten days to his letter of ac
ceptance. It Is likely thut It will be
finished by the end tf tlie third week In
August, but he dues not expect to pub
Hull It before the first of September.
Mr. Hoburt will commence work on his
letter very soon und If the usual cus
tom be followed he will send a copy of
it to Major McKlnley a week or so be
fore it Is given to the public.
llujoi- McKlnley's letter will be his
longest and most formal utterunce dur
ing the campaign and he will enter upon
a careful discussion of the two great
Issues, "protection and sound money."
These Issues are almost equul tn Im
portance in the opinion of Major Mc
Klnley, as Indicated In his speeches.
Scores of political friends, however, who
come here from vurous parts of the
country seek to impress upon him that
the popular Interest In the money ques
tion is declining and by the middle of
September the tariff will be the issue
of paramount Importance. However
this may be. Major McKlnley is amply
prepared to discuss both of the ques
tions und In his letter of acceptance Ire
will not overlook either of them.
The Ohio campaign will be opened on
.Saturday next at Columbus. The event
will be of more than ordinary Import
ance. The meeting will be uddressed by
Senator John Sherman and Senator
elect J. B. Foraker. Senator Sherman's
speech on Suturduy will be looked upon
very generally us the first step In his
campaign fur re-election to the United
States senate. Senator Shorman says
ho is preparing his speech with great
care and I. is his wish to have it the
most effective exposition of the linauclal
question he has ever made. The promi
nence of finance in the politics of the
day leads Senator Sherman's friends to
believe tlntt what politicians rather
vugucly term the "logic of the situation"
points to the election of Senator Sher
man as his own successor. In a state
which has so many ambitious and able
men us Ohio there are sure. to be several
candidates for the senate and Mr. Sher
man will no doubt llnd some opposition
when the next legislature meets to
choose his successor. The name of
Mark Huuiia Is frequently mentioned in
connection with the senatorshlp, but
wholly without the warrant of Mr.
Ilaniia himself.
The Columbus meeting will call forth
Mr. Foruker's first political utterance
since the week of the Republican con
vention ut St. liiiuis and there is. al
ways a great deal of Interest to both
see and hear hi in. He has prepared his
speeech thoroughly, and with 'Senator
Sherman, und Major McKlnley's letter
if acceptance, will show very clearly
upon whu't lines tlie Republican tight is
to be conducted and what urgumuuts
are to be urged upon the people.

CURRENCY DEBATE
AT FOREST CITY
The Issues Discussed by William H.
Berry and A. J. Colborn, jr.
ELOQUENCE OF THE SCRANT0NIAN
Before an Audience Composed Prin
cipally of Silver Advocates, Deiuo
cruts and Populists He Makes an
Able Defense of the Gold Ntaudurd
Against Arguments by an F.vpcrt.
Special to The Tribune.
Forest City, Pa., Aug. 9. One of the
most Important political events, If not
the most Important, in the history of
tills young city took place last night
when A. J. colborn. Jr.. of Scran ton, and
Hon. William H. Berry, of Chester, Pa.,
met In platform debute before a crowd
of about 1,500 persons. The debate was
In Midway Grove, situated between For
est City and the Vandllng car terminus.
Mr. Berry, who Is a carpet manufac
turer and is generally known as a Phlla
delphlun, espoused tlie cause of free sli
ver; Mr. Colborn championed gold as
the standard of value. The one. Is a
student In economics, who has for years,
In the Prohibition party, been a recog
nized unthority on the great national
Issues; the other is the Scran ton attor
ney whose persuasive and eloquent
tongue and knowledge of political
events have for many years made him
one of the most sought-after platform
speakers of the state. These two well
known men by their higlc and eloquence
have given Forest City political food
for reflection which will last until well
ulong into the campaign. Their argu
ment wus unique In that It was a pres
entation of the real Democratic and the
real Republican principles before an
audience and under auspices that
wus Prohibition, and back of all that
was Rev. J. C. Hogan. In that respect
Mr. Colborn, the gold representative,
was at a disadvantage. The audience
had been previously pledged to sliver.
The debute was the opening feature
of what is a series of "Reform" meet
ings being conducted under Mr. Hogan's
management. They are being held In
the open air at the grove and thus far
at the several dally sessions have at
trai led large audiences, but none so
lurge as that which heard Mr. Colborn
and Mr. Berry lust night. Mr. and Mrs.
Beverldge, of Nebraska, two profes
sional Prohibition singers who have
been heard throughout the union, de
voted a half-hour to song at the begin
nlng of the meeting.
It was arranged that Mr. Berry should
be the first speaker. He occupied three
quarters of an hour and Mr. Colborn an
hour. Mr. Berry then consumed fifteen
minutes In a futile effort to answer the
Republican 'speaker's militant argn
ment. The silver orator was at the last
stute election the Prohibition candidate
for state treasurer. It was he who
made the much-quoted silver speech at
the recent national Prohibition conven
tion at Pittsburg. It waj against one
of such acknowledged repute that Mr.
Colborn was asked to appear, though
the Scrunton gentleman hud supposed
until late on Thursday that he was to
simply make a speech before a Repub
lican gathering and that tlie debatlve
feature was not to be a part of It. Jiow
ever. Mr. Colborn with an uusympa
thetic audience before him, accepted the
situation and delivered what was con
ceded by all to be a brilliant uddress
and delivered It in sum a forceful, logi
cal way that Its effect will not soon be
lost on the voters of Forest City.
When Mr. Colborn arose to respond
to Mr. Berry there was an applause
that was loud and lasting. This recog
tiltion came chiefly from the Republi
can minority in the audience, but it was
shared to a certain extent by the three-
cornered Prohlbltion-Deinocratlc-Popu
llstlc element who applauded solely out
of respect to the speaker's character
and repute. His speech, delivered In
Mr. Colltorn's own peculiar style and
eloquence, won for him at least the sym
pathy und In many Instances the con
version of his auditors.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr.
Colborn wus obliged to hurry to the
depot to catch the lust train for Svran-
loii and he could not remain to hear the
sliver man's closing argument. This
wus a presentation of statistics In refu
tatiou of statements which Mr. Colborn
did not make and an attempted expla
tuition of how a 53-cent dollar will by
self-regulation be worth one hundred
cents Intrinsically.
