He Calls Attention to tile Inconsistencies in the Remarks of the Boy Ora tor, Wii'iiam J. Bryan. Wntertown, N. Y., Aug. 21. Kx Oovernnr Flower was elected president of the Sound Money Democratic? club at Its meeting tonight. The organiza tion has over IVI members. In his speech of acceptance tiovornor Flower discussed a point in Mr. Bryan's recent deliverance which has not been touched upon by others. He said: "I want to call your attention to a part of Mr. Ilryan's recent spi-eeh In New York. In which he unconsciously disclosed bis character. To ullay the apprehensions of the debtor, that free silver legisla tion, might not be enacted before the creditor could call In Ms loans or fore close the mortgage. Mr. Uryan said: 'If in .November the people dec-l ire themselves In favor of-the Immediate restoration of bimetallism, the system can be inaugurated within a few months.' This, he says, can be done by the virtue of the president's power to convene congress In extraordinary ses sion. The debtor has said: 'How shall I tie able to pay my debts at the rate of fi.1 cents on the dollar since it will take three months nt least to enact th necessary legislation and In thut time my creditor will have ln-en able to call In my loan or foreclose his mortgage?' Mr. Kryan reassures him and appeals to his dishonesty by saying: "Just as soon aa I am president 1 shall rush the system through before the creditor has n chance to cmH In Ms loan or fore close his mortgage." Why this hurry? Mr. Bryaa. Obvloualy you believe in the debasement of the dollar wljich will allow the dishonest debtor to repudiate his debts. A nd how does Ki Kryan reconcile this with the assertion III a prior part of liis speech thut f'eo oolti uge will raise the price of silver bul lion to $1.3 per ounce, meastjred by gold? He cannot reconcile the two state ments, because if Hie former ,1s true then there would bo no need fon hurry ing, because the debtor would; not be benefit! d if silver goes to par with gold. Hut that Mr. Hr'yan knows tiiat his prior assertion is false, and that silver will not advance. Is shown by his liter as surance, that "the system" will he in augurated hefoie the creditor has a chance to collect what Is owing;to him. 1 should think this man would fear to expose himself to the wrath of a people whose honor he so grossly insults- by thus olTeilng thorn a bribe of forty-s-ven cents on each dollar of their in READY TO RECEIVE LI.

CALLS GROVER A "DAG OF BEEF" l'nys Ilin ltcsit'cts Also to Secretary OliK v-Kcccivcs Applause lor the Scutiineiit Repressed Kegnrding Slavery, but the Vote of Thanks Is Hot Forthcoming. Mount Cretna, f'n., Aug. 21. Senator lieujaiidn Tillman, of South Carolina, made an address here today for free liliver to the. fanners gathered to attend the Mount Crietna agricultural fair. About 700 people, mostly farmers, made up Senator Tillman's audience. The speaker was given respectful attention and was frequently applauded. Sena tor Tillman sulci: "I shall conllne my remarks almost entiicly, to the money question. We are face to face with a crisis. We have passed through two or three other crises in our government. One in lSitL'. when. Jackson throttled this same money devil, lie took It by the throat, mid stood there a bulwark between the musses and the classes, tie vetoed tile Culled States bank act.

We will spit on him out of our mouths, and we have repudiated him. "The (list thing I want to ask you Is: Is this republic tor sale'.' I saw in the I m pern day before yesterday that the i New York Chamber of Commerce, through its committee, called upon Mr. liaiwui and uoiilicd him tiiat the mil i lioiiiii.es he represented, Hie great I bunking and capitalistic corporations, the millionaire merchants and others all were ivikK to co-operate without ; itgiird to party.

Hut McKlnley will not utter an) thing unless It has I u submitted to llumiu i r some other boss. That's what they say about it. but I may be mistaken, but I say circumstantial evidence would Indicate that. P.ryan speaks right out. I believe 'liryan is honest and true, lie Is not going to say or do anything that is going to hurt him or bis cause. We have these two men before us on that puhllc attitude. One is today before the noopl,., not ton groat a man to shake hands even with a coal heiuer. and the other Is too h Ifh like drover Cleve land, who has surrounded himself by detectives to protect himself from us sr."sination. Senator Tillman then wont into an elaborate discussion and exposition of the money question. He then proceed ed to answer the recent address by Poitiltc Cockran, which ho pronounced to be an effort to array the wage work er against the farmer. The senator de clared that not only would the fanners' product bo Increased In value, but that the wul'o earner would receive double his present pay. Tiiis, he asserted, would be a sure result of free coinage. He was very emphatic that sectional ism did not enter into the money ques tion. "Tiiis is a common country," he said. "'We, in the south, tried to go orf once. I think it was more a desiie to maintain the union than It was to free the slaves that whipped us. I am satisfied It was 1 know it was, hut slav ery went down in the struggle, and I thank Cod for it." This statement wus applauded. "Will you submit to Knglisli domina tion? We whipped KnglnndTn 177G, we whipped her in It 12 and we can whip her today with one hand tied. Think whether you will again have Piernont Morgan and his gang of ghouls In Wall street to govern and have dominion over our president ami congress, or whether you will free us and restore our ma jesty as American freemen. Tell your party to go to the devil, unless it Is going to do what Is right." With this blunt ending the senator concluded his speech nnd sat down. Im mediately a man rose in the audience nnd proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Tillman, bijt there were a score of shouts of "no," The senntor sat en tirely unmindful of the turmoil that was created fur the instant, until the chair man could call the meeting to order and introduce ox-Congressman C. H. Turn er, of New York, who also mude u silver speech. RUMORS OF A COMBINE. It Is Alleged That the Western I'tiioii Controls Telephone Companies. P.ostnn, Aug. 21. The Huston Com mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow re garding Western Union and Mull Tele phone: "We understand upon the best au thority, that the Western Union Tele graph company controls at the pres ent moment the American Hell Tele phone company. The importance of such control will at once appear to every one, who appreciates how the two have come In competition during recent years. The Western Union dividends had become threatened through the conipctillun of the Hell company, and of the Postal Telegraph company, but It has lonR been a fully arranged plan for the Western Union to secure coa trol of the Telephone company. The two together can probably mane it very warm for the Postal Telegraph com pany or the final outcome may be a combination of all three. Mr. J. Flerpont Morgan has been the largest purchaser of Hell Telephone stock at auction here, but the manner of purchase has been Very cleverly con cealed. Western Union stock has ruled weak on the New York exchange during the past few days, but this weakness Is thought to be part of tue programme of those conducting this gigantic ileal. The combination of these two concerns will moan an almost Impregnable mon opoly or both the telegraph and tele phone business In the same hands. ' DETROIT TEACHES KILLED.

Hun & Co. will say tomurrow In their weekly review of trade: Failures for the week have been 20 In the United States against 222 last year and 27 in Canada against 4:! last year. Political events of the week had no definite influence upon business pros pects, for the phenomenal variations In Sterling exchange and the beginning of Imports of gold, although following the great meeting In Madison Square i Jar- den on Tuesday, may be fairly attribut ed to the accumulating excess of mer chandise exports over Imports, to which attention has been rept atedly calltd ex ports from New York for the past two weeks having been 20 per cent, larger, and Imports here 21 per cent, smaller than last year. The rapid movement of grain, and the unusually early mar keting of cotton, tend strongly to aid the banking syndicate which has un dertaken to regulate foreign exchanges. Withdrawals of money to the interior are rather largo, and commercial loans are hard to place, and this difficulty checks many new enterprises and busi ness In muny departments. Hank clear ings lire small, for the 'week, 15 per cent, less than last year, liailroad earnings are not as good as might be exoeoted for the first half of August, exceeding those of lust year by only J.4 per cent. Speculation has advanced wheat over 1 per com. miring the week, corn a small fraction, and cotton live-eights, the principal motive power being re ports of injury to growing crops. The Iron and steel market has only continued depression to report. There Is rapid j'liiiailinenl of production, but in spite of this the supply of finished products appears to greatly exoeod the demand for them. The one bright spot is a sale of !i.oo tons steel rails to Japan, for repairing railways in that country, which makes nn aggregate of 4'i.0!X tons exported during the year. Nothing en couraging can yet be suld regarding the woolen manufacture, and the demand for goods, oven at recent reduction in prices Is still disappointingly small. A heavy auction sale of cotton goods brought prices, which were considered quite encouraging, and the current de mand is fairly maintained, although the mills are not Inclined to make large contracts for the future In view of the rise in the raw material. In general the working force In the textile branches does not appear to have Increased. POLICE SURPRISE BURGLARS. One of it Trio of Thieves dipt tired Fnrly This .Horning.

Much sat isfaction was expressed tit the national Democratic party headquarters toilay over the fact that the Cleveland cab inet will be represented at the Indian apolls convention. Comptroller Eckels has secured quarters at the 1 lutes, it Is thought that Secretary of Agricul ture Morton will attend the convention. He Is the only member of the cabinet who is expected. A letter from Secre tary of the Navy Herbert plulnly in dicates that he is with the sound money movement, but that he will not be able to attend the convention owing to his absence In F.urope. There Is no longer any doubt that Postmaster General Wilson ia also in favor of the movement. The position which ids son has taken Is said to bo a sure sign of the father's Inclination. The son Is out and out for a third ticket. "The coming of Mr. F.okcls ami Secre tary Morton is thought to be a pro pitious sign that the president Is allied silently with the national Democracy. The same word comes from the state conventions throughout the country as came from Kentucky yesterday that the conventions are well iittenoed ami enthusiastic to a degree. It Is but four weeks since the first movement toward the formation of the national Demo cratic party organization was started from this city, ami yet It Is claimed at hoadquurters that there Is a f:'ir organi zation in tile thirty-nine states, and that nil the states considered pivotal In the campaign ure fully organized. Uefore leaving for Peoria today Mr. P.ynuin reiterated bis statement that the convention would unquestionably nominate a ticket and would not tllrt Willi any of the old party organiza tion. TIIK CANDIDATES. There Is not likely to be much of a contest over nominations. Inasmuch as the eastern states are expected to go for sound money and silver Is very strong in the extreme western states, the candidates will probably be select ed from the states of the middle west and south. The men most talked of for the head of the ticket are General Drags;, W. D. Uynum end Senator Pal mer, of Illinois. At the time of the national convention meeting Senator Palmer dot Piled absolutely that he could not accept the nomination, but he Is said to have modllied Ids position to some extent. For vice president there Is practically but one man talked of, that of General Simon H. P.uckncr, of Kentucky. Hutkner is the Idol of the Kentucky Democrats and is an ideal Ketituckian. It Is believed Hint his name on the ticket would carry the state for the national Democratic ticket and would exert a powerful lnlluence in other southern states. The louder of the national Democratic movement now before the Indianapolis ticket will have more lnlluence in the south than in any other section of the country. A NEW EXAMINATION.
