knowledging the compliment of honor

M'AJOH M'KINLEY'S SPKKCH.
"Mr. Smith, and my fellow-cltlzens:
It gives me extreme pleasure to meet
and greet this company of lilies and my
colored fellow-cltlsens of the city of
Cleveland and of northern Ohio and I
rejoice to learn from your eloquent
spokesman that your race this year, as
in the years of the past, stands faith
fully to the Republican cuuse, which I
believe Is the cause of the country.
(Applause.;
"1 do not forget, no mull can forget,
whether in nur or in peuce, the race
which you represent never turned its
back on the glorious stars find stripes

"I congratulate you from the bottom

"We are now engaged in a political

"We have a great country, and we
must keep It great. The position which

Upon our own laborers. (Tieiuciidous
applause).
"We are opposed to nny policy which
Increases the number of unemployed lit
the Vnlted States even if It does give
us cheaper foreign goods, and we are
opposed to any policy which affects
American manhood, that we uiuy huve

"Having reduced the pay of lubor, it
Is now proposed to reduce the value of
the money In which lubor is paid.
(Laughter). This money question pre
sents Itself to me in this homely fash
ion; If free coinage of silver means a
M-eent dollar, then it Is not an honest
dollar. (Applause). If free coinage
means a luu-cclit dollar equal to the
gold dollar, as some of Its advocates
nssert, we will not then huve cheap
dollars, but dollars just like these we
now huve, and they will be as nurd to
get. in which case free coinage will not
help the debtor or muke it cosier for his
debts.
LABOR AND CAPITAL.
"My countrymen, the most un-American

to array labor against capital, employer

the committee from the Workiiigmun s
association of New York In the cam
paign of lXti-l: 'Property Is the fruit or
lubor. Property Is desirable. That some
should be rich shows that others may

Young Itcpnblican of Maine Are
Treated to a Spicy Speech,
Portland. Maine. Aug. 19. The Lin

tonight, opening the local campaign.
Two tlugs were run out. Then a pro
cession was formed and marched to the
Portland club, where another flag was
run out us the procession passed. They
then marched to the house of Hon. T.
B. Heed, where the band pluyed and Mr.
Heed came out and spoke as follows:
"Oentlemen of the Lincoln ('tub and
fellow citizens: I beg to assure you
that I huve a high appreciation of the
compliment of this visit, but I must
say that no compliment to myself, even
Irom so good a 'source as the Lincoln
club, would have brought me here this
evening, had 1 not something to say to
you tonight. Whut 1 would say to you
will be no part of the campaign of edu
cation, for 1 think that by this time
Ihe Lincoln club knows It all. (Laugh
ter). You are not, however, like n sil
ver man of my acquaintance who
knows ull about the silver question
and something more. (Laughter). I
come to bring you words of cheer, en
couragement and exhortation. In the
politicul affairs of this nation Maine Is
mi important state ami has. been so
since 1M0 and will continue to be so.
We are not like Oregon, the lirst state
to speak which gives forth Its utter
ance before public opinion has hail time
to be fixed, nor like Vermont, which Is
utterly steadfast, nor like Alabama,
where u fulr expression of the public
ml ml c annot be hud, und w here un
honest election is not even a memory.
We speak in the midst of the tight and
the Un. unlit and determination of our
people representative of the sentiments
of the people of tile I'nlteii States, fur
wc huve sent our sons into ull parts
of tlie nation, and what we say in
September they will suy louder in No-
ember. Hele in this district we huve
a plain case. The candidate who has
been nominated by the Democrat Ic
party is un estimable gentleman und
lie lias stated plainly where he Is uud
y 1 1 1 1 know where you ure. I urn not
personally nuiticular about a larger
majority. (Laughter). I huve in the
puMi hei-u sutisticil with what you have
given me. Ijut the country looks to
you 1" sov the right thing ami say It
louder, (diet i s i. We ure not lightinguuy
losing buttle. (Cheers). For t lie cuilse
of genuine liimcliilliHin there is much
to In- said but this tiling which is now
plopiisetl is against ull that makes
tree peace and comfort and prosperity
of this country. The Lincoln club Is
composed of earnest, patriotic and ac
tive young men. There was never a
time when the country demanded
greater efforts In Its behalf than it de
mands today. Your efforts united with
those of the oliler veterans of many
oilier buttles will give a good sound
.Maine victory."

THURSTON ACCEPTS DENIAL
Word ol' Hi van is Proof that the Hoy
Orator Merer Wiim u Silver Agent.
Chicago, Aug. 19. llefore leaving for
New York tonight Senator Thurston
accepted us conclusive proof of the
falsity of the charge, the stutemcnt
made yesterday by Mr. Hryan that he
had never been in the employ of silver
mine owners or sliver associations.
Senator Thurston, at Madison, Wis.,
recently quoted the charge as origin
ally made in tlie editorial columns of
the Chicago Journal and culled on Mr.
Hryun If the accusation was true or
false. The senator said toduy:
"Mr. lirynn's word Is enough for me,
and I shall be glad to say ns much to
the people of the country In my next
public address. Mr. Hryan hus denied
the charge which was mude by a
Democratic newspuper und I have no
hesitation in believing him."
As to Senator Stewart, the Nebraska
senator said: "Senator Stewart bus
arrived at that stage of political sec
ond childhood which entitles him to
great consideration and sympathy, and
1 don't think uuything more need be
said on that score."

"The national committee will not ap

Watson stands for what Hryun stands

past the cstutes of John Jacob Aslor.
John Armstrong (.'hauler und other per
sons of wealth, uud through Ithttic
CIltTe to (ioveruor Morion's celebrated

structed from Albuny by the governor's
private secretary. Colonel Ashley

PKOPLH ON THK OCTLOOK.
Kliluebeck people were on the look
out for the Democratic candidate. He
hail telephoned to huve supper for him
self und friends at 6 o'clock, and when
he arrived he found the ancient Ithlne
beck hotel, where tlie meul had been
ordered, decorated with bunting In his
honor. Not only that, but n reception
committee was awulting him ami they
hud a brass baud uud were prepared to
do honor to his present pruinlnent posi
tion. There were Hepubltcuns as well
as Democrats on the committee and Mr.
Hryun was informed that the reception
was Intended to be entirely non-partisan.
Three hundred people gathered
upon the decorated balcony. He was
introduced by George L. Ksselstyne, a
prominent Republican, who Is some
times called the "Golden tongued orator
of Northern Duchess."
Mr. Ksselstyne suld:
"We appear uere altogether In an Im
promptu gathering. We did not know,
two or three hours ugo, that we were
to be recipients of the inugnillceiit hon
or which is conferred upon us tonight.
It gives me great pleasure to bid Mr.
and Mrs. Hryun welcome to the village
of Hhinebeck a pleasure that Is shared
by my fellow citizens by reason of the
high office for which he Is a candidate.
"Many centuries ugo, It wits suld that
to be a Hotuuu was greater than - be
a king, and it can lie said today that to
be president of the I'nlted Stales Is to
be greater than to be cither a Komuu
or king, irrespective of either party or
other considerations we extend to you a
hearty welcome."
MR. BRYAN'S REMARKS.
To this Mr. Hryan replied:
Mr. Chairman. Ladies und Gentlemen:
i mil not here tonight to make you a
politlcul speech. 1 am In your midst to
rest but I cannot withstand the temp
tation at this tine to beg that you will
study, if you have not done It hereto
fore, that issue which In this campaign
Is paramount. I know that among our
neighbors In the east there are muny
who have regarded the position upon
the money questions taken by the Chi
sago convention, us entirely wrong,
und they speuk of the silver sentiment
us a source of disease.
"I want to beg you, my friends, to be
lieve thut We who do advocate the resto
ration of silver money by legislation
Hie not seeking the policy because that
we believe that It Is going to give us an
advantage over somebody else. We
have studied the question as best we
could, and we honestly believe that there
can be no permanent, no general pros
perity in this country, until we stop the
conspiracy of those who would make
gold the only standard of the world
and make all other things depend up
on that alone. We believe that while
the struggle for gold goes on other
things must become cheap, thut as we
increase the demand for that one thing
we must decrease the price of all those
things that we chunge for gold, and
we believe that this fulling of prices,
compelled by legislation, is destructive
of the energies, the Industries und the
hope of the toiling masses of the Culled
States and all over the world. (Ap
plause). "I have visited one of your beautiful
villages along the Hudson. 1 huve been
charmed with the beauty thut com
mends them, but I beg you, when you
Study this question, to remember thut
those who, instead of occupying these
magnificent places must toll all day.
under the summer sun, have Just as
much Interest in the money question as
anybody else. Hemember that this
question cannot be viewed from the
staiidHiiiit of any class of people. It
reaches every mun, woman and child in
the land ami you should make yourview
broad enough to comprehend them ull,
because I belive 1 speuk "the truth when
I say that prosperity of the well to do
rest upon the prosperity of those who
toil and that you cannot have a finan
cial policy which brings distress to
those who create wealth, without In the
end reaching those who rest uixin those
toilers, und more than that you cannot
have a policy which brings prosperity
to tlte musses without thut prosieiity
proving nf benefit to all mankind. I
beg you that Iu your consideration of
this question you will study the Inter
ests tuf ull and not merely the Inter
ests of those who may lie permanently
benefitted by the rise In the value of a
dollar, and .when you have made up
your mind I desire each of you to feel
that you have the right to express yimt
own view. The ballot was not given in
order that one man should vote for
many, or that one man should compel
others to vote with him or purchase
their votes. It wusi given In order that
each man might muke his ballot rep
resent a free man's will nnd then when
studying' us he will and voting ns he
likes, expresses himself, we make a
majority, and then we all support the
one who is elected and hold up his hands
while lie administers for us the gov
ernment whether we agree with his
views or not."
Mr. and Mrs. P.ryun and Mr. and Mrs.
Perrine had un eight-mile drive through
Ihe moonlight from Kliluebeck to I'pper
Red Hook. It was lale when they
reached the home of the Perrlnes.
