WAR REX of Shunk. .No tour of the State by a public orator in the Interests of any party or candidate has ever been made which has been discussed among poli ticians as has been Mr. Bryftn's trip. Although the platform adopted by th? Democratic convention indorses Bryan and free silver, both have been kept so effectually in the background in the campaign that this attempt to hold in line the silver Democrats in the northwestern counties, which have shown a tendency to slump for Jones, the Independent "Golden Rule" candidate, is regarded as one of Mr. McLean's most brilliant moves. The effect of the tour cannot be estimated, though the Democratic managers say they expect to net 28,000 majority in the counties Mr. Bryan passed through. This and the cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo and Columbus, which Mr. McLean's manugers say they will spare no ef fort to carry, are the grounds upon which they hope for success. Reciprocity in Sliver. A brief meeting was held in Clyde. From the rear platform of the car Mr. Bryan briefly addressed the large and enthusiastic crowd present, among whom was Thomas Sellley, eighty-one years old, who presented Mr. Bryan with a silver dollar bearing the date of 1800. Another man returned to Mr. Bryan a penknife which he said the Presidential candidate lost when passing through on his tour in 1896. Mr. Bryan said he believed in recipro city, and gave Mr. Seilley another sil ver dollar. What was said to be the largest gathering in the history of Marion was present to greet Messrs. Bryan and McLean In that town. Fully sev en thousand persons crowded the streets. Special trains brought large delegations from Mansfield. Gallon, Delaware and intermediate points. A procession, hoaded by six hundred horsemen, marched throught the sev eral streets. All of the large manufacturing es tablishments in the city closed down in honor of the occasion, - and long be fore the hour set for the speech the speakers' stand was surrounded by a groat mass of humanity, not more than half of whom could get close enough to hear. On the platform five hundred old time Democrats were conspicuous. Enthusiasm at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, 0., Oct. 24.—Music Hall could not contain all wanting to hear Governor Roosevelt and Senator For aker at the Republican mass meeting here. Governor Roosevelt was enter tained at a series of dinners by Judge Taft, the Picadilly Club and others, and was escorted from the St. Nicho las Hotel to Music Hall by one of the largest processions ever seen in this city, including the Amerlcus Club of Pittsburg, the Blaine Club, Stamina League, Ford Stith League and other organizations, and a battalion of 100 Rough Riders, all veterans of the late war. In addition to the torches and blazing illuminations along the line of march, there was a great display of fireworks. The hall was filled before the par ade reached it. Governor Bushnell and staff were in the city for the an nual police Inspection and drill, but not at Music Hall. County Chairman Kushman opened the meeting and presented Senator Foraker as the pre siding officer. Senator Foraker made a stirring address In support of Judge Nash for Governor and the indorse ment of President McKlnley. Foraker on Election. Senator Foraker emphasized the importance of an overwhelming Re publican victory in Ohio preceding the Presidential contest. This never was more needed than now as an em phatic endorsement of President Mc- Kinley's Administration —an Adminis tration in which the President has kept faithfully every pledge that he made before his election. Moreover, he had done some things that he had not promised; he had enlarged the do main of the United States. The great duty of the party to-day was to in dorse the Administration, and the way to do so was to elect Judge Nash. The Senator dwelt upon the benefits of the Protective tariff, the annexa tion of the West India islands and Hawaii, and of the acquisition of the Philippines, and said that these facts involved great responsibilities. In in troducing Governor Roosevelt he lauded his services In civil life and his bravery In the field. He said that these services never would be for gotten while the Republic lasted; that the people of New York had recog nized his services and had made him Governor, and that the people of the United States would also recognize his greatness and make him Presi dent REPUBLICAN STATE i TICKET CHANGE. Former United States Senator Mitchell Named For Justice of the Superior Court. TO SUCCEED MR. ADAMS. The Latter's Withdrawal a Volun tary Act in the Interest of His Party. STATE COMMITTEE MEETING A Remarkable Gathering, in Which Great Enthusiasm Prevailed, and Its Choice Has Been Generally Approved by Repub licans of all Factions and Elements. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Oct. 24. —The withdraw al of Josiah R. Adams, from the Repub lican state ticket and the nomination of former United States Senator James I. Mitchell to succeed him as the candi date for justice of the superior court *vas, of course, the political sensation *>f the past week. The retirement of Mr. Adams was against the judgment and advice of many who have taken an active part in the present canvass, but Mr. Adams determined to adhere to his conclusion to get off the ticket. His action was the outcome of criticism of his business and professional relations with the American Investors' com pany, an enterprise which proved a failure, and in which Mr. Adams was a loser with many others. Alleged ques tionable transactions on the part of certain agents of the company, for which Mr. Adams was in 110 wise re sponsible, led to partisan attacks upon him. Mr. Adams, who was not. ac cused of any personal wrong doing, in a manly, straightforward statement, fully explained his connection with the company, his own losses and his ulti mate retirement from the concern. MR. ADAMS' WITHDRAWAL. Mr. Adams,, who is a man of line sen sibilities and who has felt keenly the attack made upon him. wrote a letter to Chairman Reeder, of the Republican state committee, in which he said: "The honor of the nomination for su perior court judge came to me, as you know, unsought and unexpected. "I accepted that nomination with the greatest pride. The emoluments of the office were no inducement to me, but the opportunity of single devotion to a beloved profession and the honor of high office were extremely alluring. 1 have been attacked by political oppo nents and have answered the attack in the only way that the best friendly, professional and political, advisers deemed adequate. I can, before elec tion day, in no further way diminish the effect of that attack, which must, therefore, influence voters adversely to the party ticket if I remain thereon. "I have no right to let my own ambi tion impede my party's success, and while I have no doubt of election if I stand, I should not enjoy victory by a lessened party vote, nor could I endure a judicial seat in any court whose humblest suitor at the bar doubted my integrity. "1, therefore, decline the nomination for judge of the superior court." Recognizing the importance of filling the vacancy on the ticket without de lay, as yesterday was the last day upon which a certificate ol' nomination for filling a vacancy could be filed at Harrlsburg, Chairman Reeder called the Republican state committee to gether by telegraph. There was a re markably large attendance at the meet ing, which was held on Saturday last. A big field of aspirants for the superior court sprung up from different coun ties, but when the committemen got to gether It soon developed that former Senator Mitchell, at present a judge of the common pleas court of Tioga coun ty, was looked upon as the strongest and most available man that could be chosen, and his nomination followed. STATE COMMITTEE MEETS. "The call for this meeting is an un usual one, and you meet under unusual circumstances," said General Reeder, in opening the meeting of the state committee. "Less than two months ago a convention of our party, composed of delegates regularly elected by tne people in the various districts of the state, met and nominated for the suf frages of the people of the state candi dates for the offices to be filled at the coming election. For the office of judge of the superior court they nominated a member of the Philadelphia bar of extensive practice and large profes sional attainments. Since his nomi nation he has been made the subject of criticism in partisan newspapers, and out of regard for his associates upon the ticket, in deference to what he believed to be the best interests of the party, and with an unselfish and self-sacrificing consideration for the interests of others, he has withdrawn from the ticket, thereby causing a va cancy. "I hope I may be pardoned," he con tinued, "if I suggest a single thought before proceeding to the business of the committee. The election is now but two weeks distant; we have only two weeks in which to complete our campaign. 111 the filling of this vacan cy, therefore, it becomes important that the gentleman nominated shall be one whose qualifications and claims are in stantly obvious as soon as his name is mentioned. His reputation, if possi ble, should be statewide; he should be known either for his judicial attain ments or his professional qualifications. It Is to be hoped the members of this committee will rise above all personal considerations, all local claims, and will regard only the paramount duty they owe to their party organization. In the selection of the name which is to fill the vacancy upon our ticket. I trust that all other thoughts will be lost sight of in the regard which tne members of this committee will give to the selection of n candidate who will lend strength to the ticket and com mand the confidence of all the people."
