SI'KKCH T(l HAlt.KOADEKS.
Major McKlnley said:
Tlie farmers of this country must appre
ciate uud will appreciate, If they do not
already, that we cannot Increase their
market or decrease their competition
either ill home or abroad by destroying
the credit of the country. (Applause uud
cries of 'Itlght, right.") The only way
the farmers can lie benefited is through a
larger consumiiiK class. The mints will
not furnish the farmer with more con
sumers. He has the most profitable- mar.
kel for what he produces at home and nji
ubroad. (Applausci. The only market h"
can rely upon every duy of the year Is
the American niurket (appluuse) and wnat
he wants lo know is how lo muke that
murkef the best. He cannot do It by clos
ing ihe mills. (Cheers), lie cai.nol do it
by putting out the tires of the furnaces,
(itenewed cheeiinK). lie cannot do it by
taking business away from the great rail
road lines of the country. He can only
Improve the American market by favor
ing u policy that will put every one to
work who lives beneath our Hag (gnat ap
plause) and keeping them ut work at liv
ing wages. (Kenewed applause). Not the
wage scale of some other nation of the
world, hut the American scale the best
In the world. (Great applause). And you
cannot improve thut market by destroy
ing the credit of the country, for the credit
of the country lies i the foundation of
capital und prosperity. (Appluuse and
cries of "Might.")
The railroads of the country make hitsl.
ness. They consume fifty millions tons of
coal a year. What does that do? (Cries
of "Jt gives work.") Yes, II gives you em
ployment, while they are digging It. That
Is the kind of policy we advocate. Let

New Yolk, Sept. 2!. it ltns been
many a decade since Ilk' historical
Tummtiny wigwam lius held such a
compact muss of humanity us that as
sembled there tonight to hear William
J. Itryan and others siH'iik. Although
S o'clock was the hour set for the pro
ceedings to begin, three hours earlier
the doors of the fu moils meeting place
were besieged by a clamorous throng.
It kept growing In numbers until six
o'ebsk when the doors were thrown
open. There were then enough people
assembled In the vicinity of Tammany
to fill the wigwum twice over, iiieie Is
but one gullery in the hall and In u
very short space of time this was
juuimeil. The scuts had "lice n removed
from the orchestra Moor for the pur
pose of eciiiiomlsslng space und the
crowd were compelled tostand through
out the meeting. It was one solid
nmss, enthusiastic from the start and
good mi tilt ed, despite the uncomfort
able environments. The hall hud been
but sparsely decorated with Hugs and
banners. Over the platform were por
traits of Hryun and Sewall. In the gul
ley was stationed a brass bund, und
ihe patriotic tunes rendered aroused
Ihe exhiibcrance of the crowd. A llb
erul supply of small American Hags had
been pussed around, und these were
kept continuously wuvlnjr by enthus
iastic shunters.
The meeting wns called to order by
John W. Keller, the presiding olllcer of
the evening at 7.4r p. m. At thut hour
there were over 5,000 persona congre
gated in the hall.
Mr. Keller delivered a short speech
laudatory of Mr. Hryun and Tammany
Hall und its denunciation uf Mr. Mc
Klnley. Resolutions were read bv John B.
Mollohltick, endorsing the platform
adopted at the utlonal convention, held
in Chicago and' the state Democracy
convention at Buffalo, and the candi
date named on those occasions.
The resolutions also deuounced Oreat
Rritian for Its treatment of pollticul
prisoners and urged "that the national
administration Immediately inquire
into thi treatment accorded American
citizens convicted of political offences
as still remain confined in English
urisons." The resolutions were adopt
ed amid rousing cheers.
THE ORATOR APPEARS.
Immediately after the adoption of live
resolution, Mr. Bryan, accomronled by
Mr. Sewall,. Senator Thomas F. Grady,
Senator Daly of New Jersey, and Geo.
Fred Williams, of M-ussachusetts, ap
peared m 'the platform. A great out
burst of applause and cheering greeted
Mr. Bryan's appenrance. The moment
the audience caught sight of him, hats,
handkerchiefs and American Hags w.nt
up in all purts of the hall. Cheer after
cheer rent the air. The cheering1 and
applause continued for eight minutes
and at the conclusion Mr. Bryan was
Introduced by the chairman. Mr.
Bryan said:
I am glad to defend our principles In
New York city, and I am glad that every
day adds to the number of those. In the
city -of New York, who give allegiance
to Ihe principles set forth in the Chicago
platform; und I have confidence in the
justice of our cause that I believe that
every day from now until election day
will add to the number of supporters of
free coinage at 10 to 1. (Applause).
QCOTICS MR. HARRISON.
Before addressing myself to the para
mount Issue of the rumpuign 1 desire tlrn
to rend the language used here In this city
by the ex-prestdent of the United States,
Hon. Benjamin Harrison. (Hisses). I
quote his words because words coming
from so high a Republican source ought
to he considered, even If you cannot agree
with them. Irft me read you what he said:
"In my opinion there Is no issue present
ed by the Chicago convention mure Impor
tant nnd vital than the question they have
raised of protecting the power and duty
of the national courts and national execu
tive. The defense of the constitution anil
of the liberty of the Supreme court of the
I'nlted States and of the president's power
to send troops of the United States into
any states without the cull or consent of
the governor Is an Important and leading
issue In this campaign."
ily friends, I call your attention to the
fact that ex-President Harrison asserts
that our platform raises u question which
puts our legislative government in dan
ger. If that were true we might well turn
from a discussion from any other question
to consider unylhlng which menaces the
cinuiiiuation of good government. There
Is nothing In the Chicago platform that
would make the executive of the I'nlted
States feeble in enforcing all the laws of
Ihe national government and there Is noth
ing In that platform thut assails the In
tegrity or questions the honesty of the Su
preme court of the I'nlted States. I chal
lenge you to read that platform and find
In that platform a single sentence that
Justities the language used by the ex-pres-idenl.
Our criticism of the Supreme court
is not one till stronger than that contained
In Ihe platform upon which Abraham Lin
coln was elected in Ivin; and anything that
1 have ever said has not been any stronger
than thut used by Abraham Lincoln both
before ami ufler his election. There is
nothing that has been said in platforms or
by candidates that Justifies t lie assertion
that the I emocraiie parly Is nol in favor
of a sound government, or thut it is in fa
vor, of a. policy of Interference with the
preservation of law uud order. I shall go
further, if .Mr. Harrison wants to raise
the question of the survival of our gov
ernment. I am willing lo meet him on that
proposition. I Applause).
After appearing ou the stands of the
overflow meetings around Cuion Si inure
and bowing to the thousands who had
Sims! for hours tn a pelting rain, Mr.
Bryan drove to the ferry and took the
night train for Washington.

A Purls dispatch to the Chronicle
soys that M. Camboti's mission to Con

It Is learned that the Czar anil Ixird

The Times remarks In an editorial
that Mr. Gladstone article on the Ar

of the "Nineteenth Century,' adds no
new facts nor any practicable proposal
for the solution of the Turkish prob
lem. A dispatch to the TimeB from Candin,
Isdund of Crete, says that a band of
armed Mohammedans, which left there
by permission of the governor, looted
and burned the villages of Drapete,
Kalyvin and Kastelliana in. the District
of Monofostl and destroyed the church
at Reglo Apostolol. The vice-consuls
warned the governor and the Moham

. Indiiii Sept. 29. The Time has a
letter from Its Havana correspondent
describing the forced currency issue In
Cuba, In the course of which he eays:
"Both the Custom House and the
Spanish Bank Itself refuse to accept
the bank notes. It i, therefore,
ridiculous to hope that Captain-General
Weylcr's decree will maintain
them) at par."
The correspondent predicts that with
in n few inon.tliB the bank notes will be
at 50 per cent, discount. He Bays that
the bitterness against tho United States
In Cuba Is constantly on the Increase,
as It Is seen that nothing stops the
landing of Hliliusters.''
The Times also has an editorial on
the Cuban situation which says that
the letter from its correspondent shows
that nothing has occurred to Justify
a more cheerful view of the Situation
thire.

PENNSYLVANIA THE
BANNER STATE
A Plurality of 400,000Some Judges
Predict Majority of 500,000.
THE OPINIONS OF SOME EXPERTS
Charles Kmory Smith, William Har
rity aud William Singerly Express
Uelicl in a Hcpublican Victory of
Great MiiKiiitudv.New York Will
lie Eclipsed.
Philadelphia, Sept. 29. Brynnlsm will
be burled so deep in Pennsylvania next
November that not even tiabriel's
trumpet will unearth It on the resurrec
tion morn. Careful and conservative
estimates now put Major McKinley's
majority at 4o0,oik. Some ardent and
enthusiastic Republicans (who would
make good circulation boomers on a
New York newspaper) are not even sat
Islled with this, and hofie to snow under
the Boy orator by a half million bal
lots. In short, Pennsylvaniana ure
quite anxious that the old Keystone
slute should be the banner state In the
McKlnley columns on election night.
The time was when a hundred thousand
waa considered a good round majority.
Nx-Speuker C.alitslia A. Umw received
over 150,000 majority when he ran for
congressman-nt-ltirge, and every one
was so awaxed at the result that some
wit expressed the popular feeling by
saying thut Ualusha grew.
There was not the ghost of a Bhnw
for the Popocrats at the beginning of
the campaign, but since the Palmer
Buckncr ticket haa put In Its appear
ance Mr. Bryan's boom has been melt
ing away like snow under a summer
sun. As In New York, so tn Pennsyl
vania, every leader of consequence in
the Democratic party Is arrayed against
Mr. Bryan. F.ven ex-Chairman Will
lam F. llnrrity, who Is nothing If not
hopeful, and who can in ordinary times
extract consolation from a cucumber.
Is now as mute as Tata's harp, and has
nothing to say.
S1NGKRI,Y SAYS OVF.R 300,000.
Kill tor William Singerly of the Phila
delphia Kecord was very communica
tive. Mr. Singerly la always well post
ed on the political situation, and ever
since he waa defeated for governor he
has not been given, to bombastic fig
ures. And this is what Mr. Singerly
says:
"1 think that Major McKinley's ma
jority In this state will be from 300,000
to 350,000. I have never seen a cam
paign in which the Democratic party
was so thoroughly demoralized and dis
gruntled as they are now. They have
not the ghost of a show In winning, and
It is because they realize this state of
affairs that they are practically doling
nothing to keep them aJloat in the com
ing deluge."
William T.T. Hensel, of Lancaster,
who was for many years chalrmaji of
the Democratic! State committee, and
at one time Attorney-General of Penn
sylvania, is another eminent leader of
the party who has turned his back on
Bryan. Mr. ' Hensel said. Bryan has no
show in Penneylva.nia." I shall not
vote for him, and there are thousands
of sound money Democrats in the
State who wll do likewise."
So much from, the llp of old-time
leaders among the Democrats.
When you turn to the Republicans
you And that the Democrats have only
told you half the Btory. For the Re
publicans, not content with carrying
the state for McKlnley and sound
money, are laying their wires to enp
ture every congressman within the
borders of the old Keystone common
wealth. They argue that the sure way
to kill the silver craze completely Is to
not only send a sound money mnn to
one end of Pennsylvania avenue In
Washington, but also to fill the capl
tol at the other end with friends of
the gold standard. For In this way,
they maintain, the sliver snake is both
scotched and skinned alive.
WILL, BE THE BANNER STATE.
Charles Emory Smith, editor of the
Philadelphia Press, and former min
ister to Russia, is one of the best In
formed men in the state on the politi
cal outlook. Two months ahead
of the St. Louis convention,
Mr. Smith predicted Major Mc
Kinley's nomination. And this is
what the great editor has to say Just
now:
"Pennsylvania will give Major Mc
Klnley 400;0n0 majority. We shall
eclipse New"York, and be the banner
state of the McKlnley column. Nor Is
this all. It looks very much as If we
will have almost the entire congres
sional delegation. We are very hope
ful of carrying the old Democratic
strongholds the Northampton District
and the Berks-Lehigh district."
CHURCH QUARREL SETTLED.
Relation Between Itcv. Willinmso
and Congregation Are Dissolved.
Allentown, Pa., Sept. 29. The Lehigh
Presbytery, at a special meeting this
afternoon, dissolved pastoral relations
between the Presbyterian church of
Hazleton, and Rev. Joseph O. William
son, by an almost unanimous vote. The
congregation .of Rev. Williamson's
church hud prayed for a dissolution,
which he resisted, aud he will appeal
to the synod.
The uction of the Presbytery Is the
culmination of a church quarrel at
Hazleton of two years' standing, a ma
jority of the members being dissatis
fied with Rev. Williamson's preuchiug
and pastoral labors.
