THE SCRANTON TKIBUNE-TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 8, 1896,
BILLY BRYAN'S LAST
DESPERATE PLAY
The Boy Orator Will Accept the Popu
list Nomination.
mR. SEWALL OFFERS TO WITHDRAW
The Sooth Will Not Support the
Democratlc-Popnlistic Ticket at
ExpectedStates That Are Doubt
ful--The Array of Free Silver and
Republican Campaigners.
Bureau of The Tribune,
501 14th St.. N. W.,
Washington. Sept. 7.
As a last desperate play Bryan la go
ing to accept the Popullstlc nomination.
His managers. Including; Marlon Butler,
or North Carolina, have done all In their
power to quiet Watson, but this wirery
Georgian will not be quieted, not even
with the bait of a cabinet promise. He
has caused more trouble than Jones
and Richardson will admit. Butler
does not dare to betray him openly. In
fact, Butler could not if he tried, for in
Fopullstic ranks Watson Is strongerthan
Butler. The withdrawal of Sewall has
been seriously considered, and Bewail
has offered to withdraw if the Demo
crats so advise. At heart Sewalt Is not
over enthusiastic for himself. But this
plan has been rejected for the reason
that should Sewall be withdrawn, while
It might strengthen the ticket In the
south. It would weaken it to destruction
in the north. There are thousands of
Democrats In the north who will vote
for Bryan and Sewall who would not
swallow Bryan and Watson. So It has
practically been decided that Bryan
shall accept the Populist nomination.
The continued refusal of the Populists
to fuse with the Democrats is causing
consternation and separate electoral
tickets for the Democrats and Populists
mean the success of the Republican
ticket In several southern states. The
Popullpts and Democrats In Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama and Florida have
separate tickets, and the Populists In
Arkansas and Kentucky seem to be
pulling farther apart.
There may be no fusion In Missouri.
None has been fixed up In North Caro
lina, and there will be no fusion In Texas
unlets the Populists, Republicans and
gold Democrats get together, which now
seems likely. And the Democratic re
ports from Virginia and West Virginia
art to the effect that there will be no
fusion In those states. The fusion in
California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebras
ka. North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wis
consin will not offset the lack of fusion
In the southern ttates.
THE SOUTH IS DOUBTFUL.
The Republicans at first gave to
Bryan the solid south. They now claim,
and these claims seem to be well found
ed, that Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisi
ana, Florida and West Virginia will
give their electoral votes to McKlnley.
In Tennessee they expect to see Bob
Taylor elected, but confidently expect
the electoral ticket. The nomination of
Palmer and Buckner almost Insures Illi
nois to McKlnley. While Altgeld Is still
strong there, Palmer on the presiden
tial ticket and Black heading the atnte
ticket will more than overbalance the
anarchistic Influence of Altgeld. The
probable fusing of the gold Democrats
In Louisiana, Alabama and Florida,
with the division between the Populists
and Democrats In those states, will sub
stantiate the claims of the Republicans
that they will elect McKlnley electors
there. With the south thus broken up
In sentiment It la Impossible for the
Democratic managers to unite It be
tween now and November with a re
vival of a sectional campaign cry which
they are going to make one more at
tempt to do.
Looking back, even at this short dis
tance, there never seemed to be any
real ground for fear of Bryan's election.
Here In the east this certainly is true,
and there It every reason to think that
It Is equally true of the west. Bryan's
campaign has slumped to a terrible ex
tent, even to such a point that the street
coiner free silver orator Is forced to
acknowledge It.
The free silver managers have been
dismayed from the first They are new
hands at the business to begin with,
and Bryan's Independent campaigning
has further demoralized them. Since
the Indianapolis convention these self
tame managers have become completely
disorganized. At the Democratic head
quarters here the men In charge move
about In an aimless sort of way, making
extravagant claims tor their candidate,
and there their work seems to end. They
are tending out very little literature
and are utterly unable to cope with the
organised efforts which the Republicans
are making. They remind one very
much of a fledgling at a race track who
knows nothing of racing and merely
putt his money on the horse that bears
the name of some female favorite.
"POP" LITERATURE NOT NEEDED.
I asked Representative Richardson
the day he started for Chicago In answer
to hysterical telegrams from Senator
Jones, how the silver people hoped to
meet the literature circulated by the
Republicans.
"We don't expect to meet it," he
tald. "We don't have to educnte our
people. They are already educated.
There It no necessity to tend literature
to the Populists. There Is not one of
them who cannot talk all day on the
Money question."
This sounds well enough, but the fact
remains that the voters are reading,
and the fact that they are studying
proves them to be open to conviction.
At any rate those possessed of the free
liver mania are much given to abuse
of their opponents these days. They
hare prayed to the limit the class ar
raignment They seem to think that
luck will carrying Bryan through. They
re having him make his own cam
paign. The old leaders, those who have not
endorsed the third ticket axe remain
ing mighty quiet. It looks as If they
doubted their own cause, and Intended
to keep In the background until the
storm It over. A few new leaders have
sprung into prominence, but one might
well ask: Where are the old ones?
Crisp. Cockrell, Vest, Walthall, Mills,
Hill, the sprightly Springer, the an
cient Harris, and all that set. Where
are they They may be doing some lit
tle local work, but one does not hear
their voices raised in any national way
for Bryan. But if the men who helped
to make Crisp speaker and who have
trained with him since were either at
Indianapolis or else are In hiding, giv
ing only a nominal support to the
ticket.
SILVER CAMPAIGNERS.
Here are the men. then, who are the
active workers In this campaign:
Bryan, foremost of course; Jones, who
la a new quantity as a national leader;
Clark Howell, who became famous in
fighting Democratic nominees; one
Williams, a political freak In Massa
chusetts; Tillman, Altgeld, Stewart
Teller, Blackburn, Daniels, Richardson
and McMIUin. These last four are the
best In the bunch. No wonder, then,
that Bryan's managers are rattled.
Set against this crowd the Republi
cans now on the stump: Thurston,
Hoar, Lodge, Proctor, Frye, Reed, Cul
lom, Sherman, Aldrich, Harrison,
Shoup and Perkins, out there In Cali
fornia, and see the odds Jones has to
play against .The other horn presents
even a greater dilemma. Bryan also
tees arrayed against him Quay, Lind
say, Palmer, Buckner, Smith, of New
Jersey. Tracey, Warner, Carlisle, Wil
son, Turner, the brainy giant of Geor
gia, Ureckenridge, practically all the
great leaders of yore In the Democratic
party. There is no wonder thut Crisp's
old followers In congress, with the ex
ception of Bland, Bryan and Bailey,
have forsaken him, and that Culber
son, Mills, Cockrell, Gorman, Hill, ct.
al. are In hiding.
Before November others will sneak
Into their holes, and Gorman and Hill
will probably try to pull the hole in
after them. W. R. B.
WYOMING DEMOCRATS.

PLAN TO BREAK JAIL
The Murderers ol Pearl Dryan Pre
pared to Make a Leap lor Liberty
Cincinnati, O., Sept. 7. A negro pris
oner named Walker was searched last
night by a turnkey in the Covington Jail
and a thlrty-elght-callbre revolver was
found In his pocket. Walker occupied a
cell adjoining the ones in which Jack
son and Walling, the Pearl Bryan mur
derers, are confined. The Jailer sus
pected a plot to break jail and ordered
the cells searched. In Waiting's cell
half a dozen saws were found. Both
Walling and Jackson protest their Inno
cence, but the jail officials think the
plot was to have been carried out at 6
o'clock this morning, when only two
men would be on guard.
A search of Jackson's cell today dis
closed two fine steel saws hidden be
tween the sole and lining of an extra
pair of tan shoes which belonged to the
prisoner. The revolver found In Wal
ker's pocket hus been positively Identi
fied as one owned by Walling before his
arrest. A rigid investigation will be
made as to how It got Into Walker's
possession.
FOUND AN ANCIENT MILLSTONE
Relic of Early Days in Iowa Dug Out
of the Skunk River.
Burlington, Iowa. Sept. 7. An Inter
esting relic of early days was discov
ered yesterday at Augusta, Iowa, it be
ing the first stone burr for grinding
corn ever used In the state of Iowa. In
1835 Levi Moffltt landed on the west
bank of the Mlsslppl with eleven fam
ilies, and among their belongings was
the machinery for a grist mill. The
mill was built at Augusta, on the Skunk
river, and on the opening day grist waa
brought from Illinois, Missouri and all
over Iowa.
The great flood of 1857 washed away
the mill, not a board or piece of the rude
machinery being left. Some time dur
ing extreme low water the old millstone
was discovered, but Its history until
yesterday was unknown, and its value
as a rello not realized by the finder.
The Iowa Historical society has taken
steps for Its Immediate removal, and it
will be brought to Burlington and dis
played during the semi-centennial of
Iowa's statehood In October.
HURRICANE AT UNI0NT0WN.
Cams, Fences and Crops Leveled in
Fayette County.
Unlontown, Pa., Sept. 7. A terrific
hurricane swept over a portion of Mean
len and Franklin townships Saturday
night, leveling houses, barns, fences
and crops. It began near New Salem,
traveled about eight miles In a north
easterly direction and was about two
hundred yards wide. The town of
Watersburg was badly damaged, only
three buildings being left standing and
fit for habitation. No person was killed,
but several were Injured.
The Pittsburg. Virginia and Charles
ton railroad bridge was moved over a
foot, and the new county bridge being
erected to take the place of the one
washed away in the July floods, was
blown down. The damage will foot up
tent of thousands of dollars.
MOTHER STARVED TO DEATH.
Pitttbarg Charity Fell Short in a
Dismal Case.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept 7. Mrs. Joseph
Hermann died at the West Penn hos
pital this evening of starvation. Six
months ago her husband and her 7-year-old
child Ira were In prosperous
circumstances In Danville, Va. Her
mann got out of work and came here
to look for employment, but found none.
Last Friday the Christian Alliance
had their attention called to the wo
man's condition and sent her to the
West Penn hospital. It was too late
and she died. She denied herself to
feed her child and husband.

BRYAN ADDRESSES
THE YORKINGMEN
Concluded from Page 1.
found among them those who were willing
to spend their lives In the helping of th:ir
fellows, but I am speaking of the rule;
that reforms do not come which are only
supported by those- who consider them
selves lifted above tho common people.
Nor do I mean that you have never found
among the common people, those who
would betray their fellows. You hav,;
found everywhere, in every stage of so
ciety the character of Judas. In any class
are to be found those rea'dy to betray their
brother. Yet still In spite of this the com
mon peoplo have been the great and tell
ing force that has lifted civilization to a
higher ground.
There are three forms of government
best known anion? men. There Is the
monarchy whore the king rules by rletir:
divine. There Is the aristocracy where a
few control and there is the democracy
which means the rule of the people
themselves. Why is It that the strength of
democracy I do not use the term In a par
ty sense, but In the broader sense why is
It that the strength of the democracy lias
always been found among the common
people? It U slmplo enough. It a man
has a high position or great wealth ae
may be able to stand and keep on tho
good side of the klntf. If he has great in
fluence he may be one of the ruling class
es In the aristocracy, but you are not will
ing to leave any form of government to
your child except a democracy in whi"h
each citizen Is protected in the enjoymtiit
of life and the pursuit of haplness. The
great common peoplo believe in a dem
ocratic form of government because it Is
only In the democratic form of govern
ment that they ore able to protect tholr
rights and defend their Interests so far as
government can defend a man's Interest.
THE OBJECT OF GOVERNMENT.
Let me dwell for a moment upon the ob
ject of government In this land. Our gov
ernment derives Its powers from the con
sent of the governed. What kind of gov
ernment will people consent to? Only that
kind of government thut protects all and
which knows no favoritism. A govern
ment In which every citizen stands on the
same plane without regard to position In
society and without regard to wealth.
(Cheers). A government which knows
equal rights to all and confers special prlv-
leges on none that U the kind or gov
ernment that appeals to the affections of
the common people. There are two things
to be considered in government. The first
is that in the enaclment of legislutlun
you should be careful to give no advantage
to one person over another person If that
advantage can be prevented. It Is the
duty of the government to protect all If
possible, without Injustice to any one.
Again government must restrain men from
Injuring one another. That is one of the
important duties of government to pre
vent men from injuring one another and
the government that fails to restrain the
strongest from Injuring the weakest Is a
government which falls to do its whole
duty.
GETS IDEAS FROM HOGS.
I was passing through Iowa somj
months ago, and I got an idea from some
hogs. (Laughter). Hiding along in the
cars I noticed a number of hogs rooting
in a field and tearing up the ground. The
first thought that came to me was that
they were destroying a good deal of prop
erty, and that carried me back to the time
when I lived on the farm and I remem
bered that we had rings In the noses of
our hogs, and why? Not to keep the hogs
from getting fat for we were more Inter
ested In their getting fatter than they
were. (LnuRhter), The Booner they got
fat, the sooner we killed them, and the
longer they were In getting fat tho longer
they lived. Hut why were rings put in
the noses of these hogs? go that while
they were getting fat they would not de
stroy more property than they were worth.
And an I thought of that this thought
enme to in e thut one of the duties of the
government one of the important duties
of tho government is to put rlnjs in tho
noses of hogs. Now. my friends, don't
consider this a reflection on your neighbor.
(Laughter). (Cries "Hanna is already
fat"). It is possible under our form of
government to have Justice and to govern
as the people deserve. Ours Is the. best
form of government because It is possible
for the people to make It, built on the be -it
Intelligence, the highest virtue and the
patriotism of all the people, but let me
warn you against confusing government
with the abuses of government, Andrew
Jackson said that there were no necessary
evils in government, tpat evils existed
only In Its abuses. He was right, my
friends. (Chesrs). There are no necis
nary evils In government and no man who
understands the advantage of governm"nt
will raise his voice against it. It Is the
abuses of government against which we
have a right to complain. There are those
who would denounce one criticising such
abuses and call him a disturber. A dis
turber Is ono who breeds discontent. I
want to say to you that discontent lies at
the foundation of all progress. So long ns
you are ratlslled you never go forward. It
Is only when you are dissatisfied with your
conditions that you try to improve them.
1 here Is this difference between our form
of government and the monarchial form.
If you are discontented under a monarchy
you can petition for relief, but your peti
tion may be disregarded. Discontent un
der a monarch may end In despair or it
may end in revolution. Discontent under
our form of government ends In reforma
tion through tho peaceful means of the
ballot. '
I am not going to violate the proprieties
of this oceosion by entering Into the dis
cussion of partisan questions. But I de
sire to call your attention to certain broad
questions which cannot be confined by
party lines. Tho ballot Is the means ty
which the people of this country must
right every wrong. And if the people
have not the Independence, If they have
not thf Intelligence to right their wrongs
at the ballot box, they have not the cour
age to secure their rights In any other
way. (Cheers). But, mv friend.', condi
tions nrose In this country which made It
Impossible for the peop' to use tho bal
lot which they had. They did certain
things so strong, so powerful, men were
afraid to exercise freely and upon their
own conscience the political rights given
them under our Institution. What did
they do? I honor the laboring man of
tho country and or7anized labor standing
at the head of the laboring man because
they secured for the people or this coun
try an Australian ballot. (Clreat applause).
("You're all right, Willie.") That ballot
did not come down to you from above.
That ballot Is a result of your own de
mand. Tt is a result of your own Influ
ence. Tho laboring man today enjoys the
advantage of the Australian ballot be
cause the laboring man of this country
compelled the adoption of the Australian
ballot. (Cheers).
Now, my friends, among all the agencies
which for the past few years have been
nt work Improving the condition and pro
tecting the rights of this ronntry I be
lieve that the labor orgsMisMons stand
first. It has brought the laboring men to
gether where they could compare their
views, where they could unite strength,
where they could combine their Influ
ences as an organization and we have the
laboring organizations to thank for many
blessings they have secured for you. (i'ro
longed applause).
THOSE- WHO CRITICIZE LABOR.
Now, my friends, some have criticized
labor organizations. (Cries "Hanna."
"Hanna.") There are some who believe
that Dnngs snouni join an association, that
railroads should join associations, that all
wealthy corporations should Join asso
ciations but not the laboring men. Yet the
laboring man's association has been the
means by which he has protected himself
In his warfare against these other aspo-
ciattons. The laboring organization has
done as much good for society as any of
the other organizations have done or will
do. (Applause). I want to speak here of
the principle of arbitration of differences
between employers and their employe.
That principle has been forced upon the
attention of American people and I be'
lleve in it. Arbitration Is simply an ex
tension of the Idea of the court of Justice.
It Is an Impartial Institution, an Impartial
tribunal before which men may come to
settle their differences Instead of resort
ing to violence to settle them. Now, my
friends, when you come to use the ballot I
want you t remember that that ballot
was not given to you by any man who
employs you. (Loud cheering). (Cries
"we'll give It to you though, that's no
dream.") That ballot was given to you ry
law. You had it before he employed you,
it will be yours after your employment
ceases. . You do not tell him that if he does
not vote according to your opinion you
will quit working for him. (Cheers and
laughter), but you have as much right to
tell him that as he has to tell you that
you win have to quit working for him It
you do not vote as he wants you to.
When I sav this I am not afraid of of
fending anybody because If there is an
employer in this country who believes
that ho has a right by paying wages to
control tho vote to whom the wages go
he Is a man who cannot be offended. I
have known men who thought that be
cause they loaned a man money that
therefore as long as they held his note
that he must vote as they wanted him to
or risk foreclosure. I am not afraid of
offending any man who has that opin
ion, necniise a man who will use a loan to
Intimidate a citizen has not learned the
genius of the institutions under which we
live. We camiot impress upon you any
more Important truth than this: That
your ballot is your own, to do with It
w nat you please and that there Is nobodv
that must be satisfied with your vote ex
cept your judgment and your conscience.
