'CHICAGO Bept. 18.-Senator M. A.
Hanna.at qooa today made an -address to
eevejral Ithousand dpVm-town business
men and their employes at the -rooms of
the Commercial McKlnley Club. J& said
la part:
'Yoii will find my text In the letter
of acceptance of the great apostle of free
silver WilUam J. Bryan. It is .his last
card, and be begins his interesting ap
peal to the people of the United .States
by telling1 what Tie knows 'about frosts.
A.t tho Kansas City Convention there- de
veloped a. wide 4lnerence of opinion" in
the Democratic partyas to what -they
should do or ought to do, and various
pilgrims to Lincoln found Mr.13 Bfyan
very -uneasy, as -well he mibt"nave
been, since the narrow edge of one Vote
la the convention meant the '-saving of
Ills jet hobby, iree silver. But how- nas
It been since that convention? In all bis
speeches during his campaign' he' has
made only the barest references to froe
silver. But he took up "another .issue,
one which he labored in "VVashlhgionw-io
manufacture. He gave positive .orders to
certain members of Congress to ratify
the treaty, for no other reason than that
he might have an Imaginary chance to
attack the Administration.
"I wish I could have together on this
platform, William Jennings Bryan -and
Senator George F. Hoar, that each might
tell his reasons for opposing expansion
Or 'imperialism.' Senator Hoar would
convince you that he -opposes it from
conscientious motives, but is, on all other
points, a -unit with the party from which
he differs in that one respect, and that
he in a supporter of William McKinley.
"With these two together, I would tear
the mask off the face of that hypocrite,
"William J. Bryan. (Cheers and hisses).
One stands -on the Arm foundation of
his convictions of right, and the other
on the flimsy foundation of hypocrisy.
"''Mr. Bryan has been afraid to push the
silver Issue, because he wants to parry
"New Tork and some other Eastern States.
He tried Imperialism and madefrom five
to fifty speeches a day. his audiences
growing less and less every day. It Is
his trump and last card, and we will hold
him down to that issue apd on every
Slue Of It. . -
"If our great corporations of amalga
mated capital are in the interests of man
ufacture, then are not labor organizations
and combinations in the interests of tho
worklngmen? I was the first man In Ohio
to recognize organized labor in 1871, and
while that organization of blfumlnous
coal miners existed we never had a strike.
I believe in arbitration between labor and
capital, and In 1897, when I stood before
750Q men and women in Cincinnati, I told
them that If they would prove to me
that I had ever wronged any man 'work
ing for me or urged the reduction of his
pay, I would resign from the United
States Senate next day, and "the offer still
stands.
"I would like Mr. Bryan, or any other
Democrat, to tell me what a trust is.
I believe there "Is not a trust In the en
tire United States. There Is a ""National
law and a law in every state against
trusts, National or state, which has bocn
the product of Republican lawmakers, -and
the credit is due the Republican party.
I have no objection to the Democrats
opposing trusts, but they have not got
any patent on It. Bryan tells what he
would do if elected. His first act would
he to haul down the American flag in the
Philippines.? Well, that is what he .says
he would do, but the American people
would not let him. Then he would estab
lish a 'stable government, probably -with
Aguinaldo at the head of It. Think of It!
Pull down our flag, -remove our troops
end leave the brave dead, our boys In
blue, to the tender mercies of Aguinaldo!
Judging from the past, Aguinaldo would
soon shock- humawfirand ytbe nations
Wauifl interfere, as e did In Cuba? Bryan
talKs of the Monroe doctrine and fcdvo
eates a protectorate ln'vthe Philippines.
The Monroe doctrine was established for
the Western hemisphere, but Bryan
"Would spread it all over the world. It
that is not imperialism, then tell me
what it is. I am for peace, but not for
peace at any price, and not while the
brigand, Aguinaldo, Js hanging about the
bushes shooting down our. soldiers.
"Bryan is opposed to a tariff as a trust
creator, but the worklngmen know that
the tariff Is -their -protector,. .He. tells us
Tosy pictures of what he would do. if
elected, and "beside hJs" picture's' Stafids
the monumental wprk thattMcKlnlcy;ha
done. Bryan will stand on any platform
they make .for him, ride any hobby. In
dorse any issue yes, he wjll even abu&e
me for die sble purpose of being' Presi
dent. That Is all he wants. (Cheers and
cries of Tou are all rlghtT) Tes."rI am
all right, lor I talk about things I know
all about, and I don't lie, either. Cast
your, votes In your own "interests, and not
In the interests of llr. Bryan. '
-'The Importance of thii tiampalgri Is
greater than any ever before known in
the country, because any reversal of the
policy of the Government would' bring
about a change in commercial interests
which would dwarf the awful storm at
Galveston. It would mean a commercial
and Industrial revolution from which the
country would not soon recover.''
BRYAN'S KEWr YORK VISIT.
Preliminary Arrangements Perfect
ed by Tammany..
NEW TORK, Sept 18. The preliminary
arrangements for the reception to Mr.
Bryan and the naming of a subcommittee
to "be intrusted with the details" were
perfected at a meeting 'of the Tammany
Hall committee on ratification. Richard
Croker presided, and on his motion, W. R.
Hearst president of the National Asso
ciation of Democratic Clubs, was made
vice-chairman of the gathering.
In a speech, Mr. Croker said it was
the desire of Tammany Hall to tender to
Mr. Bryan the greatest reception ever
given to a Presidential candidate. Ho
predicted that 100,000 voters of Greater
New Tork would assemble in and around
Madison Square Garden October 1G, the
plght of the reception. Mr. Bryan- has
glgnifled his intention to speak, and that
his speech may be heard in all parts of
the garden a sounding board will" be
erected behind the speaker's platform.
One hundred and fifty ushers will bo In
attendance, and four great stands will
accommodate the .overflow outside the
garden.
When naming the various committees,
Mr. Croker suggested W.'R, Hearst for
chairman of the committee on reception.
He eulogized Mr. Hearst for his work In
re-establishing the National Association
of Democratic Clubs, which organization,
Mr. Croker said, would prove a powerful
factor in the campaign. Mr. Hearst's
nomination was made unanimous. He
thanked the committee for the honor.

opened today In this city of the presi
dents and "executive officers of the West
ern railroads 'operating in the-territory
west of St Paul, Chicago and the Missis

Many Important subjects are to be con
sidered at the conference. An attempt
will be made to straighten out the unsat
isfactory traffic conditions which stlh cx
Isf in the Western territory. The meet
ing will' also devote Its attention to the
practical failure of the plans which were
set on foot at the June conference to
regulate rates. These plans were first the
formation pU district or territorial com--mittees
at .important centers like Kan
sas City, Omaha, St Louis, St Paul and
Minneapolis, and second, the organization
of a new transcontinental passenger as
sociation. The .opposition of the Atchi
son' road, was one of the principal causes
which went to block the carrying into
effect of these plans.
The morning session was taken up by-an
informal discussion of .traffic and sale con
ditions. No committees reported, the
chairmen requesting more time.
" With the conclusion of the afternoon
session the conference adjourned to meot
again in this city December 5. None of
the questions discussed by the conference

FORT SCOTT, Kan., Sept 18. W. J.
Bryan was the guest of honor at a state
breakfast given by Mayor Goodlander at
the Goodlander Hotel this mprnlng, At
10. o'clock, In Convention Hall, he began
.the flrst of two speeches made hi. this
cjty. , This speech' was, comparatively
brief,' the meeting In the hall.belpg ad
journed to he public square in order .Jo
afford opportunity for a larger crowd to
assemble there to hear the candidate. The
hall, which' holds S000 persons, was filled
before. 8 o'clock. The audience In .the
park stood while Mr. Bryan tajked, and
gave hint respectful attention. , At times
tho enthusiasm was. intense, Mr. Bryan
was espied by the crowd at the park
when a square distant, and a shout was
sent up which did not subside until he
reached the. vicinity of the.- stand -from
which he was to speak. ,. The crowd .was
so dense. that he found it impossible, to
mount the stand, and he, .therefore, had
his carriage stopped, in the midst of the
.crowd, and, ascending the carriage "box,
spoke, from lt7The "full dlnnerpall" ar
gument of rthjfe Republican orators re
.ceived his first .attention, and he contend
ed, as usual, that the workingman is
not content with a well-supplied table. .
"When the hog Is hungry he squeals,"
said Mr. Bryan. -"When he Is full ho
-goes to sleep, .That seems to be the
Republican idea of the" workingman."
The Republican party had," he asserted,
manifested no "concern 'for the welfare
of the masses,, hence It had forfeited all
claim upon -their support. In accounting
for the increase of the Army, he said,
perhaps it was, intended ta meet such
emergencies as that which had arisen in
the anthracite coal regions.
Mr. 3ryan again referred'to the'incorao
tax question, saying: "Republicans, thero
was a time when your party favored the
Income tax. Abraham Lincoln signed tho
blU. that made the Income tax, and It was
not a plain income tax, but a graded one.
Now, when wo advocate Income taxes
today, you call us anarchists. How dare
you accuse Abraham Lincoln of being an
anarchist?"
He also said Abraham Lincoln signed
the bill providing for the greenbacks. Hp
believed that this Nation should "issue
Its own money, and that no private, cor
poration should Issue or coptrol one. dol- '
, Discussing the trusts,, Mr. Bryan said;
"ReaU the., letter of acceptance 'of'ihe
President and sea hat he .says about
the trusts. He." spends more-time warn
ing you not,to,harm the good trusts
.than he does ,in" tolling, you .how to. get
rld'of te bad ones. "Read the letterof
jtho .VJce-Presldential candidate ,and. see
how anxious he 18 that nobody should say
anything about the trusts. The'Repub"
Ucan President has been In power for
three years, and yet never made one
specific suggestion looking to the de
struction of the trusts, The Republicans
cannot be trusted to destroy tho trusts,
and if you who oppose the trusts' are
really in" earnest, you must, seek reltef
elsewhere."1" " '
While he was discussing the coloriial
policy of the" Government some one-asked
Mr. Bryan about North Carolina and. the
raco question in that state.
"I am glad fcou mentioned "North Car
olina," Bald Mr. Bryan. "Now, I want
you to read the Sulu treaty, and, having
done that, I think you will blush until
ejection day and never have., time .'to
think of North Carolina," y ,

Mr. Bryan's speech at Armourdale was
addressed entirely to the labor element,
of which his audience was composed. He
said lnpaVt: .. ' v J
"If we talk to the Republicans about
the important issues . of th,ls campaign
they meet our arguments .with one an

that the laboring- man has a, full dinner

is full. The XviL dinner pall is satlsracn
tory t$ ,the stomach, but, my friends, it
is the 'ahlmal'-and not the maii-that com
plains1 only when' it is-mmgrj'vnnd goes
to' Steep when it is'fullr I" want to 'appeal
to sdmething- in the laboring man -beside
his 'appetite.-' T want to asfcthe laboring
man if he is content to live and die with
nothing mbre --than-o- full " dinner' pall.
Mayor Jones, of Toledo, well descrlbed.lt
when he said that the -laborer always
had a''full' dinner pail in slavery days;
that' tho Slave had plenty to eat.because
he could" not work If. he did not .have
plenty to eat. He saia that the. slave
owner ha'd a selfish Interest in giving to
the -slave a 'full dinner pall and plenty
to 'eat and .weir. Man Is of a three
fold nature.- He not only has his body,
but ho has his brain and he has his heart
also, andthe laboring man needs more
thatt-three meals a day. He needs short
ened hours of .labor to enable him to give
some time to his family and to lntel
lectualj.development. v
"What has the Republican party done
to "shorten the hours of toil? When the
eight-hour "law went before the Senate
the "Beputfllcan Senate did not have time
to1; pass" it, but the Republican Senate
"had7 plenty of time to pass a financial
lilU-that gave National banks the control
of' the paper money of the country.
(Applause.) The Republican party has
had plenty of time 'to legislate when it
wanted td legislate, but where is the bill
thaV'protects the laboring man from the
fear of the injunction?. We are opposed
to government by Injunction. In our
platforjnwe ask for a labor bureau, with
-a Cabinet officer at its head. What does
the" Republican party .ask- for? ,Why, a
department of commerce and industry.
Wo also ask for'the election of Senators
by the people. You cannot get any re
medial legislation until your bill passes
fixe Senate, as well as the House. Under
the' present method of electing Senators
the corporations have morp lpfluencV In
'the selection of a Senator than they
should have, and the common man, tho
ordinary voter,, has less Influence than
he should have. (Applause.) .
n1Warwa"rit an iftcome tax. TheRenub-
''Htcon party is not willing that we should
have an Income tax, which would give
to the laboring man some relief from the
burden of taxation. You laboring men
ought "to consider the question of taa
yon.nnd those other questions-, but the
only roply you- get to all those things is
tho. full -dinner pall. (Applause.) When
ever any Republican holds up before you
"the full dinner pall argument, ask him
.,what ho -thinks w)f -the anthracite coal
region. , (Great applause.) Ask him what
i be thinks of 'less than $1 a day, whlcn
Is received by the men who aro mlplng
anthracite -coal, less than-$l a day the
year around. Under those clrcum
slahce3. -what chnnco Is there for tho
'laboring man to Improve his condition?
Tvhat chance for him to raise his fam
ily' and to give his children a higher place
f'fhan he has enjoyed? What ohanco Is
'there for that development Intellectually
and for that recreation and for those
things that are necessary to the labor
ing map, as Well as to any one else?
(Great applause.)
t ,'But the full dinner pail will not last
'.this campaign. - The Republican -party
has- got to meet these questions and
cannot antlqe the laboring man into the
imperialistic trap by putting a little
.cheese In the trap." (Applause.)

slfmlflcahce' of the occasion and present
ed .Mrs. Mary Thornton Davis, of Boston,
niece or jjieutenapt . -tnonuon, esctmivo
officer, of the old Ke,arsarge and Mrs.
Henry Bryan, of1 Alabama, daughter of
Rear-JWdmlral Slmms. o the old AlOJ
bama. Mrs. Davis unveiled the tablet des
tined for the Alabama, while Mrs. Bryan
performed a 'like act with that of tho
Kearsarge. Governor Frank W. Rollins
was then introduced, and made a brief
address, presenting the tablets to Captain
Folger, of the Kearsarge, and Captain
Brownson, of tho Alabama,
Secretary of. the Navy John D. Long
responded on behalf of the Navy Depart
ment. He said In part:
"I deem it an honor that It .falls to ray-lo"t-ln
behalf of the Navy of 'the United
States and the Navy of the United
States was never more glorious than now
to "receive from the 'State of New Hamp
ehlre this, its beautiful and significant
gift to" the battle-ship Kearsarge, named
for one of It's ''noblest mountains and re
calling Its namesake of brilliant iriemory.
Words fall to express the full meaning of
this emblem which New Hampshire today
places on the "deck of the Kearsargo, but
it speaks for Itself as no human tongue
can speak. It breathes the full, outflowing
life of our common' country and of all
that our" country means Justice, hfinor,
freedom, education, equal rights, law, or
der, home, church, school, public spirit
private virtue, personal Integrity vand
honesty, rewarded labor, thrift and ac--cumulated
savings, no- high or low, no
rich or poor, no North "" nor South nor
Dast nor West, 'bn't one' common -brotherhood
underHhe --flag, at la a beautiful
design North and South clasping hands
under the wings of the American eagle,
a hand-clasp that nothing can break. I
can suggest but one improvement in it
not possible as a matter of art but en
tirely so as a matter of fact and that
is that Instead af two figures there should
be but one, as .there is in fact but one
figure embodying--, in itself the perfected
union of all the land, -not only the North
and South, with their varying character
istics in trade, and tradition, but one In
tho supreme essence of a common natlon-
illty.
''If X;
may speak, as It has been assigned
mo to "do, more especially for the noblo
'snip on wnion tnis emmem is to sianu,
may I not say that she Is worthy of the
gift, alike In hersolf and as a type" of
the Navy of which she is so magnificent
a representative. No nobler battle-ship
floats. No better navy," In ship or man,
rides the ocean. IttPslllps, its "officers and
crews are tho pride of the Republic They
have "earned and won 'Its admiration and
confidence by contest -and battlo which
have been made synonymous with victory.
Her function Is .not that of war alone,
glorious as is her record there, but more
of policy, The very appointments of tho
Kearsarge, Its massive and multitudinous
engines. Its provision for the comfort and
needs of doily living 'and reproduction in
its mighty .belly of the industries of a
whole American community are signifi
cant of Its conformity .to the use. of a
peaceful people. Its officers are not .des
pots, but trustees for good order, sclen
ista engaged.' In making, plain, the paths
of the sea -and opening the channels of
commerce, and are representative bf'the
National culture, intelligence and patriotism.-
Its men are not slaves, but free men,
educated in good morals, supplied .with
good books, trained in honorable service,
citizens carrying the honor of the flag In
their proud hands. The, Navy will have
achieved JJs. highest distinction most
when,by Its power apd the majesty of its
representation jof the Republic, it shall
have Insured' th,ei maintenance throUj-fhout
Its Jurisdiction of law and order, and so
of peace.
"May -we not, then, regard this emblem
as that of the hand-clasp, not morefy of
our own North and South, but, of all tho
luubnr tbe uppmesa dthe freedom
mankind'
