Ex-Confederates of Virginia
, See McKinley. ;
WERE ESCORTED BY BOYS IN BLUE
The Candidate Heard the Cheers of
, Chicago Crowds The Day's -Delegations.
' Canton, Oct., 9. Of all the enthusiast
ic demonstrations eince tbe St. Louis
convention, Canton baa never seen tli
like of today's doings. The "rebel yell
was heard for the firft time on her
streets. The visit of the old Confeder
ate warriors from the Shenandoah val
ley brought thousands of people to town
Tbe 1800 Virginians were met by the
. Union veterans of Canton, several nun
dred strong. They came with badges
inscribed "No North, no South, no East
no West; the Union Forever." Arm
in arm with the old boys in blue, the
veterans in gray were escorted to taber
nacle, where the 6. A. R. ami , VVoman'i
Belief Corps served their dinner. They
' had a new version of an old sons', .and
sang "We're Coming, Father McKinley
200,000 strong."
- From the tabernacle to the McKinley
borne, the streets were lined with people,
. Three hundred Cleveland veterans joined
in the escort. The bands played "Dixie,"
"America" and, "Marching Thro' Geor-
gia." The thrones of people on the way
joined in the yells of the- marchers, as
best they could. When the great crowd
lined up about the home, it filled ' the
dooryard, and the streets round about
This compelled Major .McKinley to speak
from a small temporary stand , covered
, with tbe national colors in order that he
might be . beard. The crowd was so
dense it was with difficulty that he
reached the rostrum from the bouse, un
- der the escort of committees of old com
radea-in arms, and of those he fought
against him as -a boy with Sheridan,
down the Shenandoah valley.. -
'. Editors F. H. Funkhouqer, of the
state Republican committee, spoke on
behalf of the delegation in general. In
concluding a felicitous address of greet
ing and assurance of support, Mr. Fonk
houser introduced Confederate General
John E. Roller, who spoke on behalf of
the soldiers.
After Major McKinley had responded
to these addresses, ex-Mayor R. A. Cas-
sidy, of Canton, presented the visitors a
magnificent bannenby which to remem
ber their visit here. On one side is rep
resented clasped hands, indicating the
union of all th'e soldiers. ' Above these
hands are the words, "United We
Stand" and "McKinley Club!' in large,
gold letters. On the reverse is a large
American eagle in gold, resting upon a
large shield. This side bears the in
scription, "Presented to ex-Confederate
Veterans of the Shenandoah Valley,
Virginia, by ex-Union Veterans of Can
ton, Ohio, October 9, 1896."
KILLED THK ENGINEER.
Another Fatal Collision on the Sonth-
. -.. ern Pacific . ,
Redwood Citt, Cal., Oct. 9. A seri
ous freight-train collision occurred about
2 o'clock this morning on the coast divi
sion of the Southern Pacific, between
Mayfield and Palo Alto. Asa result of
the collision, tbe engineer of the freight
train from San Jose to San Francisco
was killed and another of the train crew
was seriously injured
Last night six empty cars were left on
a siding at Palo Alto. Early this' morn
ing the "empties," started to move on
the siding. Tbe grade between Palo Al
to and May field is very eteep, and the
empty cars soon acquired a high rate of
speed. The cars ran a mile down the
-road, when, at Geer's crossing, they col-
'lided with a freight train coming from
San Francisco. -
The engineer of the freight train sup
posed he bad an absolutely clear track,
. and was coming at a good rate of speed
with a heavy train. The night was dark,
and before he could perceive his danger,
' the fugitive cars crashed into tiis locomo
tive, throwing it off the track, twisting
the engine and smashing it badly. The
"empties" and freight cars were piled
. high in a general heap of ruins. Over
20 cars were badly smashed up. . The
". track at the point of collision is absolute
ly impassable, and at daylight a con-
etruction gang began to lay a new track
around the wreck.
Henry NHaggerty, engineer " of the
: freight train, was killed. Fireman W.
; Bowser was badly injured. The freight
train from San Jose waB running 40 miles
an hoar, when it struck the runaway
cars going in the opposite direction. .The
effect of the collision was remarkably de-J
structive: .The whole of the loDg tram
was niled no in one mass of kindling 50
feet high. The tender of the engine was
thrown clear over the ' locomotive. En
gineer'Haggerty was mashed to a jelly
and Fireman Bowser suffered broken
bones and internal injuries'.'
- The trains at noon ar.e switching
around the wreck pending the clearing
ot tbe main track, which is completely
obstructed. 1

Havana, Oct. 9. Weyler is fooling
Lee The order prohibiting tbe Ameri
can consul-general from visiting the
military prison keeps him from person
ally investigating the condition of Amer
icans imprisoned there. He has to rely
upon what Weyler tells him. In their
last interview General Lee complained
of the unsaLitary condition of the cells
the American prisoners wece in. Weyler
replied boldly:
"Oh, I have attended to this, matter,
They have been removed to cells Nob. 41
and 42." -'"'.
General Lee retired flattered at his
supposed success, not knowing tbe
Americans have always occupied cells
Nos. 41 and 42.
Those cells, by the way, are gloomy
and so damp that water oozes from the
ceilings and trickles down , the walls,
wetting the floor, which never dries. In
one of these wretched cells are Melton,
the American newspaper man, and
George Aguirre, locked up with a man
suffering trom smallpox. The disagree

and himself, between midnight and day
light this morning, five miles north of

Bray, owing to sickness in his family

was found with her throat cat from . ear

CHURCHMAN'S APPEAL
Archbishop Ireland on
Issues of the Bay.
the
THE BATTLE FOR HONOR AXD LAW
He Gives Sound Reasons for Standing
By the Republican Platform
and Candidates.
St. Paul, Oct. 11. Archbishop Ire
land, in response to the written request
of 27 businessmen of this state, who are
of all potilical opinions, gave the follow
ing statement (addressed to them) to
the Associated Press : '
" I am not unwilling, in the crisis
through which the country is now pass
ing, to speak for the integrity of the na
tion, for social order, for the prosperity
of the people, for the honor of America
and tbe permanency of free institutions.
I am a citizen of the country, concerned
in all the interests of the nation, subject
to all responsibilities of citizenship. To
be silent when words of mine may be of
some profit to the people, would be cow
ardice, would be crime.
"I am not unmindful of the objection
made against the churchman speaking
at any time on matters which have en
tered the arena of politics, lest his in
fluence as a teacher of religion seem to
be used to promote the interests of a
political party., I might reply that there
are occasions when a political platform j
means disaster to the country, when
politics are closely connected with mor
als or religion, and that on these occa
sions the churchman must be tbe patriot
without allowing a moment's thought to'
considerations ot the expediency and
must take in hand the moral or religions
issue, even if it be vested in the gar
ments of politics. But in the present
instance, I Beek no excuse of this kind ;
I speak entirely as the citizen, without
warrant from mv ecclesiastical position.
"Deep as my convictions are, I hold
in all due respect my fellow-citizena Khftklf1?. .She sot bitin her nails 'till I
hold convictions at variance with my
own. 1 impeach neither their good
faith, nor their honor. I am dealing not
with men, but with principles, and
movements. The justice which 1 render
to those whose ideas I am ready to com
bat I am sure they will render to me.
'I stand by the platform and the presi
dential candidate of the Republican con
vention at St. Louis. I am opposed to
the platform and tbe presidential can
didate of the Democratic convention - at
Chicago. The days of the civil war ex
cepted, at no time did so great peril
tnreaten tne country, as tnat wnicn is
is involved in the political campaign of
today." ,
MACEO'S BTKONO POSITION.
Entrenched Himself in the Mountains,
Where He Cannot Be Dislodged
Chicago, Oct. 11. A special to the
Times-Herald from Key West, Fla.,
says:
The ' sudden return of George Bernal
to Havana from the northern coast of
the province of Pinar del Rio, where he
was sent by General Weyler to com
mand the Spanish forces in the recent
engagements against Antonio Maceo,
has caused a profound sensation in Ha
vana.
General Bernal has returned on sick
leave and has asked to be sent to Spain,
being thoroughly disheartened over the
result of the campaign just inaugurated
against the insurgents in Pinar' del Rio.
The general reports that Maceo has
thoroughly reorganized his forces in the
last few weeks, and entrenched himself
in the most commanding positions of
the mountain fastnesses and that any
attempt to dislodge him would be sore
to result in disastrous failure and whole
sale slaughter of the Spaniards. '
The folly of attempting to dislodge
Maceo has been fully demonstrated,
General Bernal said, in all the recent
engagements. From the commanding
positions, the Spanish officers were
picked off by sharpshooters, and the
troops lacking leaders, became demoral
ized and were slaughtered like sheep.
WENT
TO
A BRIAN MEETIN'.
There a Farmer Finds the Grasshopper
a Standard of Value.
The Coesebs, Oct. 6, 1896.
Mk. Editor: I presume yoa would
like to hear something about politicks,
as it is rather a scarce article in the pa
pers these times. ' I tell you they're
bilin' hot out here. I went to tbe Brian
club t'other night and I want to tell -yon
about it. -The first speaker was a very
substanBhal, - venerabel lookin' . old
farmer. ' When he got up, ses I to a
nabor, "There's the kine of a man the
farmer wants to represent him." Sea
he, kine a Bnappish like, "It's all in the
turn out." Ses I, "If that's so i'le bet
bet' my old, Mine mare on the slick
chap." I seen a feller like' him (with
them shinin' collar and cuffs on) at oar
county fair an'he turned ont square
boxes oat of an ole hat an' pikd them
up on me piatiorm 'tin. tney wud nil a
wheelbara. The ole gent told us he had
bin a Republican fortv years an' worked
hard for them, and they wud give him
nothin'. They put him off at the pri
mary; then at the county convcnsh'un;
then at the state, eo he got tired and
sed : "This is a government of the
peepel an' every man for hisself, eo be
joined the popocrats." He' told-nt. then
aoout senator Alitcliel startin' out a
silver champion an' then goin' back on
them an' sed he (the speaker) was sorry
he done it. He theiv told as about the
Republicans gittin' scared, and after a
feller named Moody, in Chicago, ad
visen' them to appoint a day' for prer
an' ask God to help them to elect Mc
Kinley; but he sed, "We are goin' to
elect Brian anyway, an' if God wants to
be on the winin' side he will stick right
by us." He then sot down. Tremendas
aplaws. " .
The slirk feller then got up an' told us
be was goin' to' confine hisself to the
finanshul question. He comenced to
holier as hard as he could shout: "The
Lord God made the heaven an' the
earth." ' He repeted this three or tour
times 'till hia wind giv' out. Then he
sed, make a not of this, for tbe gold bugs
will tell yon the Republican party an'
protection done it. Defening aplaws.
He then sed, "I don't believe there's a
man in this vast awdense kin tell what
the ratio between the two metals meens."
I thot' that was hitin' the Brian club
purty hard, but I sed nothin'. He then
went on about the crime of '73, an'
I cuttin' the hed of silver, an' natnr fir en
the ratio in the earth, an' capitalists
coinin' gold and raisin' its value so it
was no standard eny more, for if it was
it would by just the same amount all tbe
time.
So after I cam home I waz tellln'
Betsey about it as we sot warmin' our
feet before goin' to bed and I sed I thot
the slick feller bad made a party good
pint, an' that I half believed he was
wnz thro', an' then she s'ed "James,"
you are a greater eedyit then I give you
credit fnr." Why, hat have I dun
now, ses I? "When I used to send you
to the store last spring,?' ses she, "you
got from J 2 V.; to 15 cents for eggs. Then
when the grasshopera hatched out and
got in good condi8hnn, the hens com
menced to la' like all creation an' ega
went down kerslap to 6 cents." I com
menced to sink down in my cher 'till
there seemed nothin' left of me. And
she sed, "What changed the purchasin'
power 6f money in that case?"". An' I
faltered out, "I gess it wuz the grass
bopeis." "Yes," ses she, "an' that
slick feller bad better make the graes
hoper his standard of value." "Well
Betsey," ses I, "I wuzn't the only fool
in the .house. The hole awdense had
ther mouths open, an' when that feller
made that pint, ther jaws closed with a
snap, as if they had caut somethin', an'
they hollered and yeld for Brian and
free Bilver." Ses Bbe, "There'l be no
word of this in the mornin' and you had
better go to bed and' I will hunt up a
gargen for you." So I went to bed an'
dreamed I saw that slick chap tryin' to
catch a grasshoper and with it to meas
ure the price of a razo-back hog. This
is all this time trom the corners.

Cautions Trne Democrats Against Voting;
the Bryan Ticket Gives Keasons
- for Bis Conrse.
. 4 .
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 12. In a let
ter to Samuel Bancroft, jr., editor of the
Every Evening, Thomas F. Bayard, am
bassador to Great Britain, has repudi
ated the platform .and nominees of tbe
Democratic national convention, and ad
vises constitutional Democrats to vote
for Palmer and Buckner. The latter is
in part as follows
"It seems scarcely possible that any
one could be in doubt In relation to my
personal opinion upon the serious issue
now placed before oar countrvmen bv
the machinery of several political organ
izations. When a citizen, professing
himself to be a Democrat is called upon
by many or by few to yield his convic
tions and assent to a doctrine that con
grees has the power and can rightfully
exercise it by its legislative fiat, to create
values and regardless of their intrinsic
commercial value invest one or the other-
of the earth's metals with arbitrary
power as money and override and alter
at legislative will or caprice the ratio of
exchange or ability of such metal, re
gardless of the impairment of obligation
contracts, bis answer should bu that
such a claim of power is not consistent
with tbe government's limited powers as
defined by onr constitution, but con
tains the quintessence of tyranny, dis
honesty and absolut-ism and is de
structive of that morality which is es
sential to the peace and stabilitv of
civilized society. It is, in plain words,
a proposition to destroy tbe institution
of property and break down every legal
delense for its protection.- '
t hia-onu -question . and ;its' answer
sufficiently justifies the prompt and ab
solute refusal of the constitutional Dem
ocrat to support in any degree the nom
inees of the Chicago convention and the
preposterous claims of legislative power
contained in their platform, nnder
which the credit of the nation and the
peace and order of society would inevi
tably perish.
"On the other hand, we have a Re
publican organization whose measures
and whose leaders have steadily created
such a ticket and such propositions as
were presented at Chicago. . While com
pelled to recoil from a policy favoring
the compulsory purchase and coinage ot
silver as unlimited legal tender yet it is
insistently proposed to employ and in
tensify the profound powers of public
taxation, to prohibit commerce , with
other countries and thereby prevent
revenue from coming into the public
treasury, and to levy taxes which shall
prevent tbe payment and collection of
other taxes uecessarj for the Bupport of
tbe government, whose powers are di
rected personally upon each individ
ual citizen and over every part of land
or water within the- national boundaries, j
"HiVery constitutional Democrat can
truly reply to such propositions that
they are fraught with such gross illegal
ity between man and man as to be in
consistent with public sftffty because
they employ the most far-reaching and
sovereign power known to the govern
ment to impoverish the working and
poorer members of society, who form
the great American majority, and to ag
grandize those already financially
stronger. Every man,'' faithful to the
principles of bis party, can propeily re
fuse to aid in the election of candidates
avowing the principles and policies that
have so plainly led to our present dan
gere, and which are manifestly . fatal to
the welfare of our country.
"But, happily, there remains a citadel
and an asylum for the political consci
ence of any man who is honestly con
vinced that the path of duty leads him
to keep steadily in view 'the great pur
poses for whicHKmr fathers ordained tbe
constitution for tbe formation of a more
perfect union, the insurance of domestic
tranquility, provision for common de
fense, promotion of the welfare and se
curity of liberty -of ourselves and our
country- Happily the .candidates are
presented upon a clear and unambiguous
platform that assures safety to the finan
cial honor , of our country and to the
honest business transactions of all its
citizens without discrimination, as to
race, age, ser, occupation or fortune.

Why Does Hot Mr. Bryan Answer?
Mr. Bryan tells the farmers that free
coinage of silver will give them cheap
dollars with which to pay their debts.
Mr. Bryan tella city workingmen that
free coinage of silver will raise, the
metal to $1.29 per onnce, bringing the
silver dollar to par with the gold dollar,
thus giving city workingmen another .
dollar as good as the present one with
which to bny the farmers' products.
That is to eay, to the f armor the
Bryan silver dollar is to be a cheap dol
lar to pay debts with. To city labor the '
Bryan dollar la to be a dollar of high
purchasing power to bny with.
Free coinage of silver cannot prodnce
these two dollars. It can produce only ,
one of the two. Why do not would be
supporters of Mr. Bryan ask him which
dollar he really means? Both the farmer,
who wants to pay debts, and tbe work
ingman, who must bny farm produce,
are interested in having this question
answered. Chicago Times-Herald. , .
