In Auburn three meetings iiad to be. held
to accommodate the people, It wa4 at
this .place that the. .first serious interrup
tion of the day occurred. jTpe Goverhor
fcad started "at the first meeting upduan
exposition af the. trust question. During
his remarks a man In the nipper gallery
pried out: "Hurrah for Bryan." "Why?"
retorted the Governor, squaring himself
toward th6 place from whence the cry
came,and pausing for a reply, which was
ot made. 'He does not khowj "said
the Governor; smiling. "'IVmeans just
e&out that grade of intelligence? - "
"The Governor said, referring to the
question of expansion:
"In this city Mr. Bryan actually dared
to appeal to the memory of Seward. I
wonder well. I don't wonder at. 3Xr.
Bryan, but under any other conditions I
would wonder at any man making, that
appeal and forgetting that one of the
greatest services that Mr. Seward ren
dered to thld country was that under his
guidance this country expanded over
-Alaska, and it expanded without the con
sent of the governed there."
"How about Mefccalf?" came an. inter
ruption. "MetcalJC" said the Governor, In a
puzzled way. Then, remembering that
Mr. Metcalf- was president of the D M.
'Osborne machine shops, and had threat
ened to shut -down if Mr. Bryan. 'Was
elected, he said: "Metcalf Is all right. If
Mr. Bryan was half as right, he 'would
bo fortunate;" . ,
"How about the cana's?"! came from
"the gallery, before the Governor '.could
proceed. .- ,
"I will answer you once for 'all," -said 1
tne Qrovernor. "Do you mean in this
state?"
"Yes," came the reply. .
"I answer," said the Governor, "that
they are administered with absolute hon
esty and efficiency; as you know, if you
know anything about them."
At Syracuse the Governor was first
driven to-a stand erected on the square in
front of the Welting Opera-House. In
which he was to speak later. The crowd
was so dense that It was only with the
utmost difficulty the police could open a
ay sufficiently wide for his carriage to
pass through. When the Governor got
on the stand, the crowd surged up against
Jt with Irresistible force, and it was" -not
until the Governor himself Induced lhos
in the rear to crowd the other" way 'that
the crush was somewhat abated.' ;
""I don't care who you are going to
Vote for for President," 'said the Gov
ernor. "Don't hurt the women and chil
dren. You know here fn America we are
especially proud Of the way the crowd be
haves itself, and I want you to" show a
good example here."
""I want in the'first instance," continued
Mr. Roosevelt, "to express my -thanks to
the members of the Syracuse police de
partment for the courtesy and efficiency
they have shown. I want, to thank them,
and therefore the Democratic municipal
authorities, for the care they have taken
to see that there should be no disorder,
no Improper conduct. JTow, I have to go
in to speak in the hall, and I only want
to say that I am Immensely Impressed
with this wonderful outpouring."
The Governor's party andK the police
then formed themselves Into what a foot
ball player would oall a flying wedge and I
ouv,i.ccuai j.u. icixtuinif ia nan.
The Governor talked for an hour, Touch
ing most of the- - issues involved' but
dwelling particularly on trusts anflVmlll
tary matters. He addressed his audience
SnOStlV on fhe samp Htips ns "hfx 'Ha.'
epoken before oV these" Issues. Iri" sp'eak-
ang or the trust question he said in
part:
"Now, there' Is a trust her in New
Tork the Ice trust. I have no question
but that the great bulk of the: people
'Who have gone into the Ice. trust went
dn as Investors, just as they would. Jn any
other corporation whose shares ,were
floated on the market.
"What I want to call. attention to and
to emphasize Is the utter insincerity, the
base hypocrisy of men like Mr. Croker,
who denounce trusts in general in far
more sweeping terms that I do because 1
intend to make my words good by deeds
when the time comes ty ho denounce
trusts as an unmitigated evil and then
become the most prominent stockholders
3n a trust that has caused' more Indig
nation than any other in this state.
"'I cannot tell you noboJy can tell you
whether the courts will decide that the
rust is an illegal monopoly and can be
dissolved under the statutes. I cannot
$?ay anything about that, any more than,
sitting as I do In my judicial capacity, 1
could say without any evidence before mo
whether any official was guilty or inno
cent because of his connection with that
trust. In each case the decision will be
on Vhe merits and the law. It will' be so
by the courts, it will be 50 in my case,
and wbethefTa man is a Democrat or a
Republican won't weigh that much (snap

TJTICA, N. T., Oct 25 The Roosevelt
special train pulled out of here today at
8:20 o'clock. Governor Roosevelt laughed
over the egg-firing episode of last night,
"As dnry one" egg was fired, I am In
- cllned to believe it was the work of some
mischievous boy. I am sure that the bss
-was -not -intended .for me, for at the time
It was not light enough for anybody to
know I was on the balcony."
Governor Roosevelt's first stop was at
Camden, Oneida -County, the home of Attorney-General
Davles, where he made a
brief speech.
Ati. Watertown, the Governor took, up
the question of militarism, alluding to
the fact that Sackett's Harbor, a ,few
raOes distant, was a great Army post,
and saying that if, acting under , Mr.
Bryan's theory, it was abolished, It would
prove a loss to this locality. He said

OSWEGO, N. Y., Oct. 25. An Immense
crowd welcomed Governor Roosevelt
here. ,He jnade. a hft wtth his audience
by alluding to Judge. Charles NvA Bulger
of this crty and his denunciation at the
Saratoga convention, of Mr Croker Sena
tor Murphy and Tammany
"If you want a reoommendatlon for
ilr, Croker," the Governor saldV "ask Mr.
Bulger for It.'' y
The Governor asked: "Are we to give
up the Republican Administration of this'
state for Mr. Croker's administration ?"
To which replies came in a volume of
cries, "No, no, never."
- "Yesterday)" said Governor Roosevelt,
4VMr. Bryan at last was goaded Into mak-
j rag pretense of answerlnga question as
to whether. If elected he would 'pay pen
sioners and other National creditors in
gold or In silver.. I useL.to word pre
tense advlEedly, for the answer is an eva
sion, pure and simple an evasion, more
over, so palpable and -so wealt that it is
astounding that any candidate for the
highest -office in the gift of the Nation
should have been willing to resort to it.
Mr. Bryan will .not stato what he will do
until after election, lest his statement
should Impair his chance of eleotlon.
1n the same breath ho avows that he
flinches from declaring.hls position on ono
of the 'most vital points at Issue; he
boasts that he will enforce the laws,
against trusts and put striped clothes on
big thieves as well as little thieves. Of
course -jMrt Bryan-;knows perfectly well
that ho could not do one .thing against
any stock-holder or manager of a trust,
save that had been done under the present-Administration."

ty,t the best opinion seems to be that
Rogers will "get many' mora votes than
Bryan here, and that .ho may, and prob
ably will, carry the county, I do not
r offer, this as my own Judgment I made
a carerui canvass among Informed Re
publicans and Democrats, and this waa
the 'consensus of opinion' amon them.
For ,example, two Republicans, "Wth can
didates, who were together when I saw
them, and who have personally- inter
viewed many people, agreed that the
best Prink could hope for Is a stand-off
and they feared that ho would loso the'
county. One of them had been through,
the railroad shops at South Tacoma,
and he found, he said, that the major
ity are for McKInley, Cushman and Rog
ers. The other had heard from McNeil's
Island, where there are 'ffl or 50 -votes,
and where ail but five or six are for
MpKlnley, that all but a half dozen are
for Rogers. .Along the Tacoma water
front both said they found much the same
oondition. On the contrary, however,,
still 'another Republican' candidate re5
ported that at Buckley, Monday night,
where there is a population of 600, a Re
publican meeting was held at which by
actual count there were present 650 per
sons. Buckley went for Bryan in 1896.
Now it Is certainly for McKinley, by a
majority of say 50, and It was his opin
ion that Frink would dp as well in Buck
ley as any Republican oandidater In
deed, he said-that he had been pretty
much over the country districts, and he
reported that he only occasionally heard
of a Republican who would .riot support
Frink. He was sure there were as many
Democrats who would scratch Rogers
and he wound up by declaring that it
appeared to him very uncertain which of
them would carry the county. Still one.
more candidate who was seen said that
he was confident of a Republican land
slide for McKInley, "Frink and all , the
rest; but the others, seemed to thinkhe
ttas- a trifle too enthusiastic. . "
The testimony of one Democratic
dldaite for the, Legislature, was that he
had- made a house-to-house canvass of
his own district, and that he had found
a large number of Republicans who-did
not hesitate to" say they" were for Rog
ers. They regarded him as peculiarly
a candidate of Tacoma, because (he had
been instrumental In causing location of
several Important state departments here,
such as the office of the Board of Audit
and Control, and the Fish Commissioner.
I found from other sources that some sen
timent existed for Rogers on this ac
count. It was to some extent accentu
ated by fear that if Frink were
olected he would cause the purchase of
supplies for state Institutions to be made
as largely as possible in Seattle. The
business patronage of the Stellacoom
Asylum alone has been an Important
source of revenue to Tacoma
If I have devoted "an undue.proportlon
of. space to discussion of the Governor
ship,, It Is because It is the one political
subject here over which real controversy
exists -You hear little about McKinley
and T3ryan, except after a perfunctory
farh'on, and nothing at all about the
staie ticket ass a whole. Cushman. and
Jones, for Congress will undoubtedly re
celxe considerable majorities in Pierce
County, and the Republican state ticket.
except Frink, will run along well with
McKinley. No one is alarmed about
militarism. No one cares anything about
the money question. Republicans have
"had the argument as to expansion all
their own way until within a few days,
when the Democrats have undertaken to
flank them by springing a new issue
the "Impending danger of an influx of
cheap labor if we keep the Philippines."

JERSEY CITY, ft. J.i "Oct "25. The
first day .of Mr. Bryan's tour of 'New
Jersey, which closed here with six meet-
'ings tonight, may "be described as a.-mad
rush. From the tlme he entered Wash
ington Park, opposite Philadelphia, until
jjie closed his last meeting here,' he 'had
maae id speecnes. The average of tnelc
.duration was greater tbaa usual. He
spoke In succession at-Washlngton Park,
Hiverside, Burlington Trenton (twice),
Princeton Junction, New Brunswick,
Elizabeth, Maflqn-and. Jecaey filty tslx
times). His Journey - through the state
was a surprise .to. -those- accompanying
QIr. Bryan, if not to himr for in jw
I states, if any, has he had, larger or moro
demonstrative,., audiences. y His meeting,
at Washington Park was almos"t a rec-"
ordbreaker in both ,6,f these, respects,
and his meetings in Trento'nand his re
ception in this city were only, second to
the Washington Park meeting, In n.um
bers and In feeling 'displayed.
Probably no candidate for th"g Presi
dency was ever so much jostled about
and pushed around In. one dayls time as
Mr. Bryan was today. At most stopping
places the police found it impossible to
protect 'him frbnfth'e hundreds,'' not to
say thousands, of persons who thronged
his pathway and followed" 'Kfm wherever
fie" went. , v'
"I have addressed a great mahmeet
ings of college boys, but I never Ha"d a
nicer meeting than this in my life.' ' This
is what Mr. Brvan said to a number of
the Princeton boys-" who followed htm to
his train .from the" meeting place at
Princeton Junction this vaf ternoon. He
arrived at the Junction vat 5:30 o'clock
and' spoke from a slightly' raised stand
on the green In the rear of the station.
Included in the audience were from 1000
to 1600 of the students of Princeton Col
lege, which institution is located three
miles distant from the Junction. The
meeting was one of the most orderly
that Mr. Bryan has had In his whole
campaign' tour. There -was not an Inter
ruption from beginning ito -end. When
Mr. Bryan arrived he f was - greeted b
the -college yell and .there was a. similar
demonstration upon; his departure. t His
address there was entirely to the; stu
dents. He said: -
. "I want yqu-to .consider that in this Na
tion monopoly, exists, and that it is' rap
idly approaching .an fridutrlaLdespotlsm.

of these few. Many of you are preparing
yourselves for the legal profession, but
you will find under, the system of monop
oly that the law business of the country
will gravitate towards" the offices of the
great corporation attorneys, while the
rest of the lawyers will be law clerks In
the offices of those attorneys. You .will
find that as monopoly "increases,, the
chance of the .young man becomes less,
and when you take away the ,hope that

him a less effective man. "This 'Nation

men. ThereIs no class distinction; there
is no caste. In this, country, the son 6f

"I want to call your attention alo to
the system which Is now being proposed
by the Republicans, known as the colmlal
system. One of our great 'Institutions of
learning has "established in the-college a
department for dealing with our depend
encles and colonies. Young menr we have
never had colonies, arid when wc have

we have reached the point where' we do
not have a Rep'ubllcl You ca'nnofhave

Orient. Governments come up frdm-Hhe
people here, and In the Philippine Islands
come out of the mouth of the cannon." .
The New. Brunswick meeting was;th
first of a "long series held after 'night
fall. 'Tire meeting was-held in a-rjublic
square fn the center of the city, and- was
very largely attended. There was no
great degree of enthusiasm manifested
while Mr. Bryan'-was talking, but a 'ma
jority of the assemblage rushed after hisH
carnage to tne train ana -gave mm a
"most demonstrative escort. He said:
"If the good Samaritan 'had found a
man beaten and bruised; had taken andr
healed him, and had then said, a4f tec .look
ing hjm over: 'This-is a, likely fellow,, and
I think I will take Jhhn and "own fiSlm
the Blbje would never have meptlo.ned thtT
act. Yet this is our attitude , In our re-1
latlonship to the Filipino.'" J ' .
At Elizabeth .there was a -stop of 30
minutes. Mr. Bryan spoke for about '20
minutes. Mr. Bryan's line oktravel from
tho railroad station to the public" park
was brilliantly lighted .by Greek" flreIn
decd, the fires were so thick." that while
they lighted the Presidential, candidate's
pathway, they rilled the atihosph,ef e . so
densely with disagreeable furnes. 4that
some of his admirers became ajarmpd for
the effect on his throat. ' This alarm,
however, was baseless, as vas" proved by
the fact that he never spoke lj clearer
tones' than he did to the Immense audi
ence which surrounded his platform at
this meeting, . - '
"i - .
Mr. Bryan's train arrived ajt Marion, a
suburb of Jersey City, at 8:10 o'clock, and
he, was driven, after a brilliant meeting
at that place, to St. Joseph's, Hall, ills,
nrst stopping place in jersey t;ny. At
Marion, Mr. Bryan was received by7com
mlttees from the various-Jersey City. ward
clubs and by a -throng of people who filled
all the available space" in-. the vicinity ot
the station. In his Marion speech ne gave
his principal attention to urging the
voters not to allow themselves-, to, be
cither coerced or persuaded into .voting
contrary to their convictions at the 'com
ing election. -, -j
Mr. Bryan made his tour of the Jersey
metropolis drawn by -four spirited black,
horses, and he was escorted by a march
ing club of several thousand young men.
The tour covered: a -ide range of terri
tory, and did not come to an end until
near midnight. He made four indoor
speeches, the first- at St. Joseph's Hall,
the second at the, 'Tabernacle, the third
at St. Peter's Hall, and the fourth at St.
Michael's Hall, In the district known as
"Thei Horseshoe." -When he concluded
he went to Hobokon, where he spent the
night, In order that he might be there for
the flrst meeting tomorrow morning. tThe
line of the'"-'Natlonal candidate's. -pro-,
gramme "was marked "everywhere bysldud

, . Firt-Jev Jersey Speech.
WASHINGTON, PARK, N. J., Oct. 25
Mr. Bryan .crossed' the Delaware and
touched New Jersey soil at -12:10 A. M.
today at this point. Vast - crowds' had
gathered" to -hear him. He shoolc hands,
with every one who could get to him
when the -boat touched the wharf, and
from there to the speaker's stand the ova
tion waspronounced. Mr. Bryan said in
part:
"I do" not know whether I can mako
myself is heard over this- vast audience,
but It is gratifying to have an opportu
nity to meet so many of the people in
such a short time to .pass judgment on
tho .issues before the country. I only re
gret ithat my time and strength are not
-eufflclent-for me to come iri contact with
.every -voter and defend our cause In
every-.part, of this country. I am cbnfl
ident that' we are right, and lt'is my faith
,lnht.he ultimate triumph of that which Is
right, as well as my observation, that
"makes me believe that we are bound to
Lwln this -fight. -If any Republican asks
you .why we spend owr time discussing
ithe new questions, you reply that our
L position on. the old questiqn is known and
our. reasons are known."
.Mr, Bryan then devoted himself, to an
elaboration v of the charges of inconsist
ency on the part of the Republican party.
In the campaign of 1896, he said, Mr.
MgKlnley had, as a candjdiie, said, he
would "open the mills .instead of the
mints," 'and the flrst thing he did," said
Mr. Bryan, "was to.place in the statutes
a tariff measure which was- intended to
allow the tariff barons to, get back the
money they had ""expended in the cam
paign." ,
The'question of trustshad especial ap
plication, and almost "every sentiment
was applauded to the echo. Mr" Bryan
said: ' . '' ' ' '
"I read the other day of th'e formation
of a milk trust. Think of It. ,A milk
-trust to meet fhe infant when he comes
into tho world i and when the Infant
grows into manhood, the coal trust looks
af te'r him in the "Winter time and the
Ice-trust In the Summer -time, and tho
coffin trust waits for him 'at the 'bottom
of the hill when life's fitful dream Is
over." ' i '
Referring' to hfs remedy, requiring a
state 'license for trusts; Mr. BTyan said
ho would "shut up a corporation' ln"-the
state of Its origlmuntlMt can show that
it Is going Into other states on -o-peaceful
mission, and not as a highwayman."
Taking up the tquestIon ,of tho Increase
of the standing Army, hesam:
"J,f, the Presldont knew when he en
tered upon his policy It meant a large
Army, and war and bloodshed, then he
acted, deliberately and the, case is -worse
than supposed." In this connection, he
said, the Republicans" contend that "leg
islation cannot be stretched, outside tho
United States, while the President can J
stretch himself all over the globe until it
gets to be all President and no legisla
tion." In reply to a question from a man in the
audience, Mr. Bryan again outlined his
position on the raco question. He again
called attention to the Porto Rlcan legis
lation and said It would be. more con
sistent for the Republicans to"crltlclso
their own President for his. position on
the Porto R'ican legislation 'than to? criti
cise him for the action of. some' one
state.
Just 'as- Mr. Bryan"- wascloslng his
speech, someone in the distance. held up
a" silver dollar." Mr. Bryan 'Baw' it," and i
said: v - ' .
'"I notlce "a gentleman "over 'there -held i
up a silver' dollar, and he evidently
wants toknoWsomethlng' about silver,
and -I' wllr- -remind1 him thai' Ms desire t
to hear something about money and "both- !
ing about human rights Illustrates the
sordid level upon which the Republican
p'arty" Is 'fighting this campaign."-(Pro-,
longed applause, and cries: "of '""Bryan,
Bryan,- Bryan'.) - Nobody who reads' our
pTatform neeo". 'to ask about the". silver
question, but. I want you to, know that
the Republicans who used te-worry abotrj
a BO-ccnt -etollai? are not worrying today
about the 85 pet cent" cltlaen they have
-giveri us, in Porto Rlco The Republi
can9 who thought, wp oou'd .pot haw iy

can havo a, double standard of govern

At Burlington.
TRENTONrSN JT., Oct 2C At Burling
ton, Mrs. Bryan jroa taken from the ear-
to a balcony a short! distance from the
station In hia speech hesold iif part: j
k "I'waa in a city the other day, In New
York; and I- found -that a-rreat manu-
jfacturer pf agrJk-uItQnd implements had
notifledi his men thatihe would-close up
hia business if I w.erej ee"cted, and I told
them In that event that man was going

cratic administration, for -they will use

that they, ntedrin an empire," ,
A .volce-JVhat "trill you do for the old
soldiers? .
"The flrst thing I will do after, I am
elected," he said; "for the soldier, will be
to appoint a.'.Commlssloner of Pensions
Jpore, satisfactory ,to the soldier than .the
present one.V", t
Mr. Bryan, made two speeches in Tren
places. Responding to the Opera-House
and the second at an open-air meeting.
He was splendidly received, at both
places. Responding to the opera-house
greeting, fwhere the Deiriocratlc clubs of
th$ "state, were ho'ding, their annuaL'con
ventlon'Mr."' "Bjyan said:
"lam Jiot vain enougn to .believe tnot
your enthusiasm is a personal matter,
for the individual counts but" little. The
principle Is .every thing"" "and a man is only
useful as lie' can aid in the, triumph of
a,prlivclple, and Iknq.w.thajt'you; arenot
here because you feel an "irfterest In "me,
but' because you feel an Interest in your--seiVes
and( In your children's children.
You are here because "you are opposed to
the policies for which the Republican
party stands You are there because you
rwant a change in" the policies arid In the
methods of government. The Republican
party says everything is all right: that
the fanner "Is 'happy; that "the laboring-
man has a full dlnner-pail,and that no
body ought to" complain of present condi
tions'. Our reply is: All right, let every
man who is satisfied with his condition,
who believes he is enjoying his fair share
of the 'earth's blessings and' the Govern
ment's protection. Who "thinks that'thlngs
are all rlght.'vote the Republican" ticket.
I am perfectly content to draw the "line
and letvall those ""who think that there
is no necessity, for better things vote tho
Republican tickett If I can have the
votes-of all -those "-who believe things can
be made -better by better 'laws." '
Continuing, iMr. Bryan said that the Re
publican party was appealing, to all
classes. -Going among the farmers, he
said,, the Republican party talked "wheat
when wheat was up; oats, when oats
wete up, and ''when potatoes are up,"" he
said," -"every Republican orator goes about
with his pockets full of potatoes." Sptftk
1ng"df Republican appeals to- the labor
ing classes, Mr. Bryan said the laboring
man "'could not be considered well to do
as long -as ho was unable to send his
children to school and had to keep them
in the "factories to help to make a living.
"Under present conditions," he .said,
"the laborer- Is receiving and retaining
every yedr-less and less of the wealth he
created, while -the man who speculates In
that 'wealth Is accumulating a fortune
that is a menace to the .independence of
the citizens. The trust discourages in
ventive genius, for if all men who have
skill in one occupation are under one
man, then they hang upon him. It is the
hope of independence; it is the hope that
you can-some day be your own master,
that. stimulates people to highest endea
vor, andwhen you take this hope out of
'the human breast and plarittdespalr in Its
place, you start downward - toward the
,ie,vl of the darkj.agea. .And It lstbad for
the" laboring man,for if .a laboring man
has genius anJ , skill and ljls" employer
does not recognize Ills skill' and genius,
another employe'r wll. But when there
Is bin. one employer, then genius Is at
a. discount, .and a' son-in-law will do as
;$VH as a genius. It is contrary to our
political science ahd to the welfare of a
people like ours, for when thousands or
hundreds of triousa'nds of men are em
ployed by one man and darn not leave nis
employment for fear ' of having no use
for the "skill they have "spent a lifetime
In acquiring,' Lsay when you have such a
condition dt Is not a healthful one."
Mr. "Bryan again stated his position on
the question of the standing Army, say
ing that we do not want a big 'army,
'but citizens who are willing to right
when we need fighters, and who are then
willing to go back to their avocations In
private life, when the "war is over." No
King had ever undertaken to create a big
ajrray At bne time, said Mr. Bryan, aria
he predicted the gradual increase pf our
own Army. Referring to the Philippines,
he said:
" "I would rather the Flliplnos'would'llve
and love us 4thari"thai we should sell cor
flns to them, when they die hating Kus.
Tliey say tliat they will treat our colonies
as 'England treats hers. "God forbid."
- He then spoke ot England's 'administra
tion in India, where he said milhons were
starving because of England's "oppressive
system of taxation. Closing his speech,
Mr. Bryan made an earnest appeal for
campaign work until the close of the
cairipaign, and asked his supporters not
to bet on results, saying in part:
".If you have money to 'spare, put it In
the campaign fund Instead of betting with
it. Do not, try to- beat the Republicans
at their own game.. When you bet, you
bet your own money; when a trust mag
nate bets, he bets other people's money.
A" newspaper friend of mine gave some
good advice the other day. He told the
Democrats If they would put their money
, In the campaign -fund they would get
satisfaction enpugh out of success to
make them willing to spend the. money,
that w,ay; that df we float it was no grati
fication to give the Republicans Demo
cratic money as well as a victory In, this
campaign. We cannot go to the great
corporations and ask them to. contribute,
because we do not intend that they
should take, It back out of the people. We
havo got to make a people's fight, and
you who are interested in this fight ought
ti support the flght, not only with your
votes, but with your work and- with the
money that yoti can spare."
At Trenton.
Mr. Bryan's outdoor meeting In Tren
ton was" a tremendous success, both in
point of attendance and enthusiasm on
the part of the crowd. At this pofnfhe
spoke standing In "his carriage, and said:
' "I am willing to risk the Issue of "his
campaign In the hands of the1 people, if
-tomorrow morning the voters were per
mitted to go to the polls and write on
their ballots their opinions on the ques
tions before: the country with no one to
intimidate them, I have no doubt that we
would carry this country by -a popular
majority such as no ticket has ever re
ceived in the United States. The only
question, to my mind, is what effect
would.be produced by the, coercion that
Is now being r attempted by those Who
stand at the head of great .corporations?
I, went to Auburn, N. Y., the other (hy

WASHINGTON, Oct'25: Commissioner
Hermann, "Who Returned to Washington
today, said to- ihe dresconlan. correspond

"McKinley will be elected by -a largely
Increased majority overthal of $96, and
will poll a mucl -heavier popular vote
than before. "The gains wH be made
mostly In the West. Oregon win go Re

Washington is not a dpqbtful state, but
will give McKinley 10,000 majority, and
electa two-Republican Representatives and
the .Republican 'state ticket. California
shows rreat signs of a change, and will
roll up from 1S.030 to 20,000 majority for
McKinley. Idaho I don't regard as doubt
ful, but Its majority for McKinley will
be small, although Senator Shoup will be
returned by a safer margin. The return
of most of the Silver Republicans and
general prosperity .takes this state from
the Democrats.
"Wyoming is Republican .by not less
than 3000, and while I did not pass through
Utah. I .talked with the best authorities
of that state, and they assure me that
McKinley -wIlLget the electoral votes of
Utah, because of the support ot the, great

islature Is also probably .Republican- Colo
radb is In grave doubt, but I am confident
that Senator Wolcott wilt be returned, ai
Indications point to a Republican Legis
lature thl3 Fall. There has been a
great movement toward McKinley 'In Ne
braska and. he may carry the state, but
whether ornot Ihe Leeislature is almost
sure to-'be 'Republican."
Commissioner Hermann says thero Is no
apathy whatever among Western Repub

While, On tho other hand, tho Democrats
I have grown apathetjc'
"The Issue with the people," -he says.

BRIBERY Iff GERMANY.
Posadowaky-Wehner Implicated In a
Scrape. . ,
BERLIN, OctT23. A great sensatloh'haB
been.cau.sed by the allegation that Count
von Posadowaky-Wehner, Secretary of
State for the Interior, had -been' bribed
with 12.CC0 marks for his worlc In con
nection with the penal servitude bill of
1893. The , allegation Is. contained in a
letter which is going the rounds of .the
German press. The writer asserts that
Hert Krupp subscribed 5000 marks to the
fund constituting the. alleged bribe. The
National eitung aa.ys its expects that
Cfount von Posadowsky-Wehner will re
sign, and nearly all the papers condemn
him severely.
A special edition of the Berliner. Corre
spondent, which was Issued by the Minis
ter of the Interior this afternoon, pub
lishes a statement admitting that Director
von Woedtke, of the Imperial Department
of the Interior, induced Secretary Bueck,
of the Central Association of Manufactur
ers, to devote 12,000 marks, for printing
Reichstag material and other documents
tending to show arguments in favor of
passing the anti-strike bljl. This printed
material was sent to the provincial press
for reproduction. The official statement
amounts to a virtual corroboration of tho
proas charges brought against tho Mlnl
try of the Interior, of which Count von
Posadowsky-Wehner is the head.
AJ1 the evening papers -comment upon
the official administration. The entire
LJberal press now. demands the- resigna
tion of. Posadowsky-Wehner, and Direct
or von .Woedtke, the assumption being
that, the latter doubtlesB acted at the.
suggestion of the former. The Berliner
Tageblatt says: "The sole consequence of
the official statement Is that both must
resign." A similar demand Is made by
the Yosslche-t Zeltung, which remarks:
"It Is an unheard-of proceeding that a
government department should request
and receive Jarsre sums from one small,
section of a population, directly Interested
In pending legislation "Tor the purposev of
influencing the nation -against such legis
lation." The only- papers which attempt to de
fend "he Secretary of State for the In
terior are the Berliner Post, the Kreuz
Zeltung and the' Berliner Nachrlchten,
whose justification of his course in the
matter Is weakly apologetic.

What people say.
Is Not What Slakes a Remedy Valu
able. Testimonials aro good things, and wo
are always glad to get them, but they
don't mako our remedy any better.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are good be
.ciuae they do good because they cure.
Testimonials simply prove that the tab
lets have helped other people, but it's
yourself you. are most interested in. and
whether they will .cure you Is tho ques
tion. ' .
It is very .easy to find out try them. A
full package costs but E0 cent3 at your
druggist's. They are worth that if they
ohly help you a littlo bit. Tho chance is
worth taking at the price.
We pu,t it. on that basis because you
don't know about tho tabletB. If you
knew as much about them as we do, you
would havo complete confidence; this ad
vertising would be unnecessary. We have
seen thorn cure tho worst cases of stom
ach trouble coses of long standing "and
obstinacy, cases that other medicines and
even high-priced doctors had failed to sub
due. " Hero are some testimonials; If you care
to read them, we have thousands of them:
Rev. J. R. tHoag. of Wymore. Neb,
writes: "For six j-ears T have been
troubled with dyspepsia. Last Fall I be
came Very- much alarmed at some symp
toms of heart trouble, and came to be
lioye there was a sympathetic relation be
tween the two diseases, or rather that tho
stomach trouble was the cause? of the
heart disturbance. I hit upon Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets for a remedy, and in
vested $1 50 for three boxes, which lasted
me three months, and I can eat any kind
of food I want and have a good, vigorous
appetite. Although I am 77 years old. I
now feel perfectly well, and without Being
requested by any one I make this state
ment as a compliment to the virtues of
Stuart's- Dyspepsia Tablets."
Mrs. Lydia Bartram, of Assyria, Mich.,
writes: "I have suffered from stomach
trouble for 10 years, and five different doc
tors gave me only temporary relief. A
Mr. E. R. Page advised me to try Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and four boxes did me
more permanent beneflt than all the doc
tors' medicines I have ever taken."
We honestly believe that Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets are the best medicine ever
made for the cure of stomach troubles.
Don't mistake our meaning. We don't
claim them to cure anything but dyspep
sia and stomachic disorders. Just the ono
thing Js what they are made for, but that
one thing Is the" cause, the-starting-polnt.
of nearly all tha sickness in the world.
-Use Stuart's Tablets regularly. Kfep
your stomach right, and you can never be
sick.
