Secretary Gage in his speech sub mitted the question that "Shall we con tinue in power for four years more William McKlnley, or shall we substl tute in his place Mr. Bryan?" and said: What has been the effect of the pat font jenrs upon our countrj's well bclnp; .mil upon the cm cr.il interests ot all the people?

I lately reael an extract from a speech of Daniel Webster, delivered in the senile on Jan. 1, 1834. I will quote a paragiaph or two: "Mr: The very man of all others who has Hie deepest interest In a sound curreney ami who suffers most by mischievous legislation in money matters is the man who earns his dally lucad by his daily toil. Ami whin the money of this country becomes elopiiiiated and debased, whether it be adulterated eoiii, or piper without credit, that industry is robbed of its revvanl. "And whoeier has the wickedness to conceive and the hardihood to avow- a purpose to break ilovvn what has been found in foity je.us' e peileiie.ii essential to the protection of nil Inter ests, by ariajlng oun clan against another and by acting on ue a pilmlple as that the poor alvvajs hates the rleh, shows himself the reckless enemy of all," Is tlide not something In these actions voidi of Mr. Webster suggestive of tint presidential candidate who, flying fiom rlty to city and from stato to state, seeking by a seeluctlve so phistry to win suppott to his lofty ampliations. It it wrong to say of him that he is a stlrrei up of strife, a sower of doubt, suspicion and socltt distrust? As thu leader of Ids party he is ceU-suftlelent, self-willed, indifferent to counsel and Independent of any contiol. Is It wise to invest him with the povveis to which he nspliei.? I believe your answer and the answer of the American people will be emphatically no, SHOT BY HUNTERS. Misses Hasenstah Narrowly Escape Death from Sportsmen.

FOUR BODIES ARE FOUND IN RUINS Searchers in the Smoking Rubbish Near Tarrant Building Dis cover Gruesome Relics. By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press. New l'ork. Oct. 30. All the efforts of thu authorities are now directed to cleaning away the ruins of the Tarrant and other buildings wrecked In the great explosion of yesterday, In the de Hire to find out how many bodies are burled In them and to ascertain what was the cause of the explosion. Tho efforts of the searchers were rewarded this evening by the finding of the re mains of H. C. A. Smith, of 550 Clin ton street, Brooklyn, and the discovery of what looks like the bodies of tttree other people. Smith was an engraver and had an office on the third floor of 101 Warren street. The body could be seen pinned down under a mass of twisted Iron, but could not be gotten at tonight. The Identification was made by a nephew of Schmidt. At the northwest corner of the Tar rant building, at Warren and Green wich streets, a mass of clothing and indiscriminate articles was come across and tho mass was said to ibe the bodies of three people. The firemen went to worh-with a will to dig out the mass and at 10 o'clock tonight brought, to light a portion of a woman's foot and the top of u. crushed skull. The skull had long, brown hair attached and is supposed to be that of a woman. During the day, Superintendent Dooner had a very large force of men working as hard as possible tearing down piles of debris and removing It. The fire burned all day, and toward night was at the end of the debris at Washington street. Superintendent Dooner was using the same force that he had all day, but will get a largely Increased force tomorrow. The reason assigned for having no new men is that the ruins are so hot that but few can get at them yet, and tho men have to work at outside walls and debris In tho streets. There has been found to be much difficulty in getting contractors' carts in Warren and Greenwich streets. What space is not used by lire engines Is nearly all taken up with piles of debits and only one cart can back in at a time, thus allowing only one load to bo removed. At the Washington street end more carts can be utilized and the work Is progressing much more rapidly. Deputy Commissioner of Sewers Donohue, with two Inspectors from his department, was at the scene of the fire tonight. It had been feared that the sewers would become clogged with debris and cause tha water to form stagnant ponds around tho ruins. The Inspectors examined the sewers and said that they wore lemarkably clear from debris and that with the excep tion of a few "elbows," which were clogged, were all right. One hundred and eighty patiolmen, under Captain Westervelt and Inspec tor Brooks were stationed at the ruins at 0 o'clock rollevimr the detail force. Both Inspector Brooks and Captain Westervelt were skeptical over the i spotted large loss of life. They both sal-l Hint they aid not ex pect that more than four or lls-o bodies would be found In the ruins. Playing on the still burning ruins were four engines, und th.y kept their streams going continually. A revised list made up to 10 o'clock tonight, shows thirty-two persons siiil missing. At 10,30 o'clock a. portion, of a human trunk, probably tho abdomen, was dug out, nnd a little later a brown canvas coat. There was nothing In the pockets but four quill tootplcks. Still later, tho llremen found another portion of a skull und a portion of u human back. Dr. Comer, of the health department, who examined tho remains, sold they were probably all from tho sams per sons, as were the foot und a portion of n skull found earlier. The remuliiH were all found In the Tarrant building. PENNSYLVANIA EARNINGS. By Kucluilte Wire fioni The Auoci.led Vtu.
