The Republicans of Maryland have decided to orgauize clubs in each county to see that every Republican voter in tle State is registered and familiar with thefystcin of voting. Indications come from all the border States that Repub lican are getting into their fighting clothes. The gold that uue out of the mines of the world last year is footed up at P3rJ.T.V.. which is more than the world's combined production of pold and silver forty years ago. I n quantity. am well as iu other respects, the recog nized unit of value was never in a more rwrviceable condition. When Mr. Cleveland accepted his TOvtuinatktu at Madison Square ( Jarden four years ago, 20,0u0 people were pres ent, and the pressure of the crowd on the main floor was so great that a mob was barelv averted. It was an anxious siijtht for the police of New York, and there were no inflammatory speeches uade, cither. Jx the sure news that Nansen is ved, alive and well, ends another Arc tic expedition, and another theory is exploded as to the way to get to the Pole. Nansen penetrated four degrees ttearer the Pole than any other explo rer. Perhaps this is glory enough. The North Pole is rtill where it always has lecn, atni undiscovered. In (.'aui.vlk's history of the French Involution occur the passage from which Mr. Bryan mjy have adapted hi -r of gld. It reads; "Or mark how D'Kspreitietiii, who ha lit own i-onfiised way in all things, prod live fc tiie right moment, iu Parliamentary liar-aiigue, a jioeket crucifix, with the si rophe: 'Will y e c r u c t f y him sifre.h?' " Natioxai. Chairman Jones has an- TfAmced that ihe headquarters of the National Democratic committee will be cstalilished at Chicago, with a branch in New York. It is said tlihl thcsclec t'ton of Chicago is largely due to t!i in- brtiiv of Mrs. Bryan, who was greatly ditMoiutcd by the frost with which it liitKbaiid was gnvtel at the recent ?.!adison Kjunre Garden meeting. 'Talk ahaut a I'lJ-cent dollarf' says Sonator Tlmrston, replying to a free sil ver orator's charge that the gold dollar has appreciated in value iulead of sil ver depreciating. "Well, if thai is the case, the farmers are getting eounidera ir more than a dollar a buslu'l for their wliefct, w hile American labor is getting silmost three times the compensation it 1h1 in IsTJ, when silver was demone tized." Wh v do not the fre silver men quote that part of Mr. Blaine's speech in which he tays that, notwithstanding all that he ha said regarding the place if silver, to coin a dollar of 412J grains when the bullion was worth only '.rl eirtis, would be wrong, and give an ille gitimate profit to the seller of silver l.ullion. Rut no, to quote the speech ttoueMtly wuld tie to show that Blaine occupied then, in l7S,the position of the Republicau party to-day. It is amusing to see the misuse that is made of curreucy terms l.y the Popo crat. They speak of "free silver," whereas free coinage would not make silver money any more free than it is now, nor any easier to get except to ine owners or silver owners or silver bullion.

The Tonocrats dwell much upon the i.-r.i limM as an excuse for asking the country to niske an experiment, says i the New York Tribune. They say to the voter: "You're hard up, anyhow, and you might as well risk this. You can't be much worse off if it does go wrong." This is the kind of an exper iment they ask him to make: " lie demand the free and unlimited coinage of Itoth silver and gold at the, pry Milt legal ratio of 1$ to , without trailing for the aid or content of any other nation." The Republicans also see the distress that has come to the people, and their idea of the remedy, as expressed by Ma jor McKinley, is this: "It is good deal better to ojten vp the mill of the United States to the lalur of Amerieans than toojx n tip the mint of the United States to the silctr of the world." It is for American workmen to judge whether they want fifty-three-cent dol lars for the work that they do now, or one-hundred-cent dollars for the work they might do if our mills started up again. The Populistsof thistateare asking for a fusion on the electoral tic ket with the Bryan Democrats. Since the Bryan nomination the real Democrats on the Democratic electoral ticket have been dropping out, and by the time the bal lots are printed there will be nothing but Populists left on it. It hardly seems worth while for the Populists to try and break in where they are practically in full possession already, and where there is nobody else but them. If those who participated in the Allentowu conven tion and made the platform were Dem ocrats, those who are now supporting Brvan cau not be called Democrats. The Populists, with Bryan as their can didate, have made a big capture of a large portion of what was the Demo cratic party, and they can well afford to be satisfied with it Mr. Elliott Danfoktii, who presi ded at the Brvan notification meeting in New York city Wednesday evening, was an appropriate selection. Mr. Dan forth was for two terms State Treasurer of New York, and in that capacity was a member of the State Canvassing Board of ls!l. It was this board which aided the late Judge Maynard to com plete the theft of the Legislature of that year, and whkh resulted in giving the ikuuocraU a United States Senator. Kach memlier of the Canvassing Board was served with the returns that the courts hal decided were the right ones, but notwithstanding this notice, the board accepted the fraudulent returns and declared the disputed elections in favor of the Democrats. The participa tor in such a theft is a fitting man to preside at a meeting held to notify Pop ulist Brvan of his nomination. Mr, Bryan has done his best, under the best conditions, with the best ex pectations, and he has signally failed. The great demonstration in New York, which was to inaugurate his campaign with a tempest of popular enthusiasm and with an unmatched exhibition of personal power, turned out to be a miser able fiasco. Curiosity brought a crowd, and they went away disappointed and contemptuous. The speech shriveled into a weak and wearisome essay. Tine "magnetic orator" of the provincial galleries shrank into a flat and feeble reader on the national arena. Instead of giving his movement an impulse, the result has overspread it with a pall. The universal verdict is that the whole exhibition in 5Tew York was dis astrous to Bryan's cause. It can not be otherwise. It has completely dethroned him from the accidental pedestal on whieh he was raised. He was lifted out of comparative obscurity by a single impassioned speech which, without be ing elevated or logical, raptivated the imaginations of the unreflecting nob who were looking for somebody to put their discontent in glittering phrase. His whole faculty lie in that very nar row range of demagogic appeal. When he passes it he passes beyond his limit ations. The moment he became a Pres idential candidate, It was necessary for him to appear to be something more than a mere irresponsible and tonguey agitator, and to put on a semblance of statesmanship. That is the role he at tempted in New York, and it ended in his utter discomfiture. He is not a true orator in any tigh sense, but he is not a statesman in any sense. Realizing the demands upon him, he undertook to address his countrymen seriously on the money question, and the result is a discussion which is hardly ulwve con tempt It is crude, disjointed, contradictory and utterly sophistical. It is full of unfounded and even absurd assertions, which apjiear to be put forward in sub lime unconsciousness that they have lie-n a thousand times disproved. With out now t.'iking up all of these fallacies, it is enough for the present to refer to the central proposition on which his K'hole speech rests. An ouncc.f silver is liwv worth nlxiut (W cents. This is its vnliie throughout the world. At this value the ratio of silver to gold is atout 1 U f. Mr. Bryan's claim is that tii free coinage lA silver by the United Mtates will lift the price of -il-ver throughout the world to il. fJ an ounce, which is its value wlieu the commercial ratio stands It to 1. This is the pivot of his speech. If it talis, his central argument falls. Of course It U utterly inconsistent with his plea that free coinage will help debtors and lift price because it simply puts silver on the gold liasis. But Mr. Bryan doesn't see that incongruity. He Is trying to repel the charge of repudia tion, and his claim is preposterous. We couldn't hold silver at parity when its production was less than lU0,()i)n,0(i0 ounces a year. How could we hoe to recced when it has grown to Kw.000, (KJaycju? This absurdity condemns hi whofe speech. Philadelphia Press. Thi Tla H tfe Dollar. From the New York Triliuue, iizust It The metal in a gold dollar is worth a hundred cents. Hammer it out of shape, or melt it and run it into any other form, and you can still get a hundred cents for it just as easily as tiefore. But the metal in a 1C to I silver dollar is worth only 53 cents. Hammer or melt it iuto any other shape, and you will be able to get 53 cents for it and no more. Why? because the coin contains only 412J grains of standard silver, and 4121 grains of standard silver are worth, at current market rates, on ly about 53 rents, "Yes," says the free silver man ; "but that is all because of the 'crime of 1S73.' If the Government should remonetize silver and coin Hon equal terms with gold, then 412 grains of it would be worth one hundred cents." Is that so, friend Populist? Then if the Government should monetize iron, and Min it fill t h itftniA 1 1 ' m.miI,4 iioi . - . ermina of imn )w vnrih i,...i i " ... k-iiuj xi vu. tun imvirnii pni mivm tt I n l.mwr ami everv man whonwuitn .

Silver has from time iiu been recoculwHl as a money ,euL The rule applies only to the pre- . . . i t AM a m .il t nl nerfi clous meuus,- uu are used as money." Then you run counter to the facta of history. Many other metals, and other materials than metal, have been and still are used as money and as currency. Sparta used iron, Syracuse and Britain used tin, Russia platinum, Burmah lead, Carthage leather, China silk, Abyssinia snlt Tartary tea, Campeche logwood, Mexico soap, the African coast cowrie shells; and many nations of high civili zation have thus used cattle as the words "pecuniary," "fee," "rupee" and "shek el" testify. Why demand the remoneti ration of silver any more than of iron, or shells, or oxen? And if monetization has such an effect upon one thing, why not upon others ? "Well," he persists, "the actual value of the metal in the coin doesn't matter, anyway. There isn't a cent's worth of copper in a cent and there isn't a cent's worth of paper in a hundred-dollar bill. Yet they pass as full legal tender. So would the silver dollar, even if it did con tain only about 53 cents w orth of metaL" On the contrary, it does matter, if the coin be standard money, and not redeem able in anything else. The copper cent is more "token money." It is not full legal tender, and does not enjoy free coin age. You cannot make a man accept one hundred copper cents as payment of one dollar. You cannot take 48 grains of oop per the amount In a cent to the mint and get a cent for It The paper in a bill is worth nothing. The bill derives it value solely from the fact that the Gov ernment is willing and able and, Indeed, bound to redeem it on demand in gold. You caunot take a bit of white paper, seven inc hes long and threo wide, to the Treasury and get a dollar for it or have it stamped "one dollar" hy the govern ment When the Government wants to make copjier coins it buys copper at the market price. When it w ants to make paper money it buys paper at the market price. So w heu it wants to make silver coins it buys silver at the market price. And you have no more business to de mand that your bit of silver, of 412 grains worth 53 cents, be stamped "one dollar than your slip of white paper be thus stamped. Now do you intend that your 18 to 1 silver dollar shall be redeemable in gold, as paper money is, or irredeemable stand ard money? If the former, you are ask ing that the Government shall pay 100 cents in gold for every 53 cents worth of silver offered to it. Such an undertaking would drive the richest nation in the world to lnkruptcy. If you don't be lieve it try the experiment yourself, by paving cents for every 53 cents worth of producu of any kind your neighbors may offer you. But if the latter, if the silver dollar is to be irredeemable, stand ard money, then you are demanding that there shall be two kinds of money in cir culatiou gold, of which a dollar is w orth lit) cents, and silver, of which a dollar is worth about 53 cent to-day; and may be worth more or less to-morrow. That is the way it is in Russia, where the gold ruble is worth about 77 cents and silver ruble 38 cents. That is the way it is in Japan, w here the gold yen is worth it) cents and the silver yen 50 cents. The result in those countries is that nothing circulates but the depreciated silver, ac cording to Gresham's law, and the peo ple are scarcely removed from pauper ism. Do you think Russia and Japan and China and India are good examples for the Cniupd States to imitate either in finance or in the general condition of the people t BETAS ASS SZWA1L. Know They Were Komiaated. New York, Aug. 12. In a common place speech and in a most commonplace way William Jennings Bryan to-night told therepresentativesof the late Chi cago convention and some fifteen thous and other people that he was willing to ran for President on their platform of repudiation. He weut a little further even than that platform in the presenta tion of his views on government and finance, and his speech as a w hole is bid for the votes of every discontentedand aggrieved citizen and class of citizens in the country. He placed himself squarely aa the candidate iA every man who had any sort of trouble and pledged bimsell to bring individutd, as well as genera relief, by the unlimited coinage of 53- cetit dollars. He was not to-night the time Bryan whose eloquence won for him the nomi nation at Chicago. He is too good an actor to play the same role on the widely different occasions. As a witty orator and a vicious denunciator ot everything that exists in governmental affairs, he carried everything before him at the con vention. Asa sober-minded individual with a panacea for all ills and a slippery argument in favor of getting money with out working for it he stirred up a good deal of dust at his notification meeting here to-night There were very few new thoughts in this lutest spoeeb of bis, 'sit plenty of new phrases, which the silver papers will print In bl;iok-Lid type in the morning and every fanner In the country will receive in his mail within a week.

Th- Democratic leaders of New York, with the exception offorujer State Treasurer Elliott Dan Crtb, who prjpsided over the meeting, and Congressman Williaiu Sulzer, who organized the first Bryan club in the State, were absent. On the inside of Madison Square Gar den fully 15,(K) people were gathered, and on the outside there may have been 50.1HM more, Elliott Danforth presided, lut did not make a speech, and Governor Stone tried to make a couple of speeches hut failed. The crowd did not want to hear him talk, and tbey told him so at the very beginning. They wanted Bryan and they got all they wanted of him niayhe more. To-night New York is as sure to be car ried by McKinley as Pennsylvania is. The silver tide is at its height and no Oiau doubts that to-morrow it will tuln to go down. Qryan's coming and the at tention be has received is simply the triumph of advertising. The mention of Mark Hanna's name by the candidate brought out cheers, and some of Bryan's choicest platitudes were hissed. The meeting was not a failure; it was a suc cess. It brings the cheap money craze up to its furthest limit and shows the people how bard they must work to smother it. Sewall accepted, too. He made a speech, which nobody beard, and Tom Watson, who sat sulking in a box, was glad of it.

Coffin, w ho is an ac knowledged authority on finance, having made a practical study of the subject in both gold and silver standard countries. says that the evils which would accrue to this country through the adoption of a free coinage system would lie many and great "The money markets of the country," said he to-day. "would not wait for the passage of a free coinage law if M r. Bryan w ere placed in the White House. Imme diately upon his election gold would as suredly go to a premium. What would happen then ? Why the prices of food. clothing and all the necessaries of life, uow measured by the gold standard, would inevitably follow the price of gold and rise with it For a similar experi ence any one old enough to remember the Civil war will recall how when gold went to a premium iu IStil the price of all things f jr sale advanced also. Perhaps the old private soldiers will remember how, when they were enduring hard ships, danger and privation in WA, their pay was still "13 a month in greenbacks worth only 35 cents on a dollar in gold. And how about the workingmen, clerks, mechanics, etc, in that day ? We know that the prices of all the necessaries of life in a depreciated currency rose during the w ar until in 1SG3 they were higher by 117 per cent than they bad been on the gold basis in I860, while wages had advanced only 43 per cent In other words, a dol lar in l&K would buy only as much as 03 cents in gold bought in 1SG0, which meant a reduction of 35 per cent in wages. If this has happened so recently it can and will happen again if free coinage debases the purchasing power of the currency as even silver advocates admit that it wilt "The Chicago platform calls for this change in the financial system of the country. No thinking persons can agree with Mr. Bryan and his followers on this question, and I think it is the duty of all Democrats to do everything in their pow er to bring about the defeat of the ticket" Bryan's Hew York Meeting. The New York World says: "There nev er was a Democratic mass meeting of such importance in this city so flat aud spirit less and so devoid of the representative elements of the party. Not one of the great Democratic leaders of the State was present." The New York Sun says: "Oh, what a woeful disappointment it was. The grand reception billed to be the greatest that New York had ever seen, dwindled to a second rate political meeting before the meeting was half over. At 10 o'clock the speech only half finished, the orator almost pumped out disappointed and anxious, reading from his manuscript so rapidly that a third of his words were hardly understandable, there remained hardly one-half of those who had assem bled in the early evening." The Tribune says: "It was a keen dis appointment Bryan's oratory fell flat. The greatest political show on earth fail ed to make a favorable impression," The New York Advertiser says; "Wil lian Jennings Bryan still livet physically, but like many another celebrity of a vil lage, he found a cemetery in this city last night Became to conquer, but even while he unfolded his plans in the council room with his friends many of them found that his armor was tinsel. The trip across the country made in sensa tional style, with speeches at noon time and at midnight had worn away his voice and last night in the vast amphi theater of Madison Square Garden he cut a sorry figure." Altgeld to Takt Charge. Chicaoo, August 15. The Altgeld Bryan combine has gained its point and national Popocratic headquarters, will 1 located in the World's Pair City. It was well on toward midnight last night when authoritative news to this effect came to the crowd of hangers-on at the Sherman House parlors that has been wailing for three days to see which way the wind would blow, and when it was announced that Chicago bad won the day there was a jubilation that lasted until well into the morning. Nor is the enthusiasm dampened to day by later reports that Senator Gorman has refused the chairmanship of the campaign committee, and that Senator Jones is inclined to withdraw into bis tent and sulk. As a matter of fact these are regarded as additional crumbs of com; fort There is no usa fir the conservative members of the national or executive Popocratic committees to attempt to dis guise what is meant by the transfer of authority to the West There is but one Interpretation, and that la that the Popo-cratie-Anarchistio Governor of Illinois ia in the saddle, and that the campaign will be run on his own lines and in his own way. What this means needs no ex plan.itlon to those as familiar with Alt- geld's course and the doctrines be has espoused and enunciated in recent years as the reader of the daily press, Tbumon's Aaiver. Omaha, Aug. 17. Senator Thurston has sent to Senator Stewart a reply to the latter's open letter of August 1, In which he savs that Mr. Stewart must have known that in bis speech at the Cbau taiiqua assembly at Madison, Wis., on August 13, he made no charges that Bryan was in the pay of the silver mine owner, but merely read jiortions of an editorial In tho Chicug-i "Chronicle" of July 11. stating that Bryan had lieen car ried on the puy rolls of the big bonanza for a mi in tier of years. Senator Thurston adds "that the man potting as the advocate of the down-trod den masses of bis country, holding crown of thorns in one hand and the bugaboo, a cross of gold, -in the oilier, owes it as a duty to every man, woman and chibl in this country to say whether that charze, thus publicly and deliber ately male, is false or true."

Bryan gave this as his definition of the 16 to 1 scheme, in a speech in Pittsburg on Monday evening: Sixteen to one means this, that if you owe a debt you can tro into the market and buy silver and have it coined and use tbat silver to pay your debts." That is, if a man owes you $10 for wages, he "can go out ii)to the market and buy silver" for about J-j-30 have it coined into 910, and force you to take these 53-cent dollars In payment of his debt to you.

Herbert Prilchard, a foreman rthe Treuton cut off" railroad, living at Heaton, near Hat- boro, Montgomery county, this evening tendered his resignation to the company, and a story of rich reward for a simple, act of kindness lies behind Ibis resigna tion. Some days ago a shabbily attired young man came along by the home of Pritchard, and asked for something to eat Without any hesitation his request was granted, aud the tramp taken into Pritchard's household, and kept there lor several days. Then the Btranger in formed his benefactor that bis uame was Fleschuian; tbat he was worth three mil lion dollars in his own right; and more over, that he would reward, in princely sums, as well as with his friendship, the magnanimity of Pritchard. Everything turned out just as Flesch- man stated. The latter took a gteat fancy for the railroad man from the day he ex tended to him the charitable hand. The young millionaire is alleged to be absent from his home on account of religious dillerenccs. It is said he has already placed ft, NX) in Pritchard's keeping and will shortly dctxi other property to him. He also induced Pritchard to resign his position, and the latter w ill henceforth act as companion to the millionaire. They will travel in England, Wales and Scotland, beginning their journey on September 1. During the past few days young Fleschuian is said to have been corresponding with his mother, who is at present in New York, and she has ap proved of his plans. Pritchard is an Englishman, and has been in this coun try several years. A Minister' Vnninal Flea. Sax Frascisco, August 1& A popular discussion has been started in this city by a sermon preached by Dr. C. W. Wend to, one of the leading pastors of Oakland. Dr. Wendte, speaking of the incurably ill or mortally wounded, asked: "Why seek, as uow, to prolong their agonies? Why exhaust resources of medical science to keep them in misery? Would it not be a more Christian act to put them gently out of pain? God speed the day when meu shall rid themselves of theo logical and personal prejudices and act as justice dictates and mercy lequires." The minister cited many cases where men injured in disaster or wounded in battle pleaded in vain to have comrades end their sufferings. His sermon brought forth a flood of protests, the burden of a majority being: "Thou shalt not kill." Bobbed and Left to Die. Irwin, Pa., Aug. 16.
