Hecreta- ry of the Treasury John G. Carlisle made the first of hla series of Kentucky speeches here tonight In Odd Felloes' Hall, which was crowded to Its ut most capacity. He was received with generous and hearty applause when he appeared on the stage. Thla was fol lowed by vociferous cheers for Bryan from a line of about one hundred men, forming a line in the standing room at the rear of the hall. This continued some time after Secretary Carlisle be gan to speak, completely drowning his voire, so those nearest him n the stage could not hear his words. At the same time a crowd occupied the street and rent the air with shouts for Bryan. This continued at frequent intervals during the entire speaking. Now and then a man on the outside would shout "Carlisle the traitor." Once after Car lisle began his speech he stopped and begged the turbulent crowd to leave the hall.

Of How Things Will He If llryan Is Kbvted. Astoria, October 22, 1S'"(1. To the Kditor: . If Mr. llryan should be elected, then the average sliver bug w ill, on bis reg ular pay day, receive his full wages In bright silver dollars which he will take home to his wife with great pleasure, and both will look upon the great pile of xhlners with delight. The next morn ing the silver bug will go forth to his vork w ith a light heart, while his wife take a few of the silver dollars to their silver friend, the grocer, and order a sack of Hour, potatoes, and other groceries. She knows the price of the goods, and has taken with her Just enough of the bright dollars to pay for what she haa ordered, and offers them to the grocer, who has always been an honest sliver bug prior to that time, but now, by some presto change arrangement, seems to have got the gold bug Ideas mixed with his own. Mr. Oroceryman will be seen to look at the dollars and say: "Madam, If you can make It convenient to pay for these goods In gold, the same as you have always done, you will very much oblige me. The fact Is that flour Is selling In London for Just as much gold as before Mr. llryan was elected, and that gold will buy Just as much silver bullion now as It would then, which is just thirty-three times as much silver in weight as the gold. And as these silver dolltrs hero are only sixteen In silver to one In gold, and there will be put a few months before the silver bullion an be coined here free at IB to 1, I an rwilly not let you have the Hour for these sliver dollars without losing nearly one-half of what It will cost me to replace It, and It Is Just the same with the other groceries. Sugar costs Just as much now In gold in the Sand wich Islands, and It Is the same case with coffee In China and Japan." The poor wotjmn hnd heard enough and tolls the grocer to his face that he Is a hypocrite having alw ays talked sli er before, but now he appears to be one of the meanest kind of goldbugs. will buy my goods hereafter from man who knows that a dollar la a ollar," and she goes Immediately to the next grocer and asks the price of flour.

The honest silver bug, who has now learned a little by experience, goes to work nguln nnd economlies his house hold to meet the requirements of his silver scale of wages, and his fellow workmen, gold and silver bugs alike, are compelled to simlliarly econom ic, which further stagnate business throughout the country, and the de mand for products Is regulated by the amount needed for absolute consump tion.

They came from svond crop in Helmont county, Ohio, and the visitors brought plenty of cream with them. Many of the visit ors came from points where llryan spoke on his recent dash through th state. It was a day of surprises. Only two delegations were expected, but by night the six largest organized bodies which have yet come to Canton had called at the McKlnley home, besld thousands of other people. The streets were as crowded as on the big Satur day Jubilees. The escort committee had not pro vided for such an out-pouring of peo ple, but the crowds were jvell ordered Women marched In line In groat num bers. Major McKlnley appropriately termed this "Ohio Day," as he could well do, from the outpouring of Buck eye people, although Indiana, West Virginia and Pennsylvania were here In organised bodies or merged Into some of the big Ohio delegations. With one party were hundred of students from the Baldwin University and Wallace College of Berea, who made the welkin ring with yells. MASSACRE IN SOUTH SEAS. Celebrated Scientist and His Men Slain by Savages. San Francisco, October 22. The de tails of a massacre on Solomon Is lands were brought up from the South Seas by the OceAnlc Steamship Com pany's mall steamer Monowal, which arrived at this port from Australia via the Sandwish Islands today. Th victims of the bloodthirsty sav ages w ere members of a party of Aus- t rlans which had been taken to the is lands by the Austrian man of war Albatross. It Is under the leadership of Henry Baron Foullon Von Norborc, an Austrian scientist, who has visited many groups of Islands In the South Seas, and had numerous exciting ex periences with the natives. While trav eling with an armed guard over the mountains of the Islands he was set upon by the Bushmen and slain, to gether with three others.

Mr. Carlisle said he had come to seak in behalf of the Democrats pledg ed to Democratic principles, without any modern adulterations or Populistic and communistic apiiendages. He said that alarming doctrines had been pro mulgated under the name of Democ racy and party discipline had been invoked and party loyalty appealed to, but the Issues Involved were of such tremendous Importance to the country that for the time being ordinary party obligations had sunk Into utter insig nificance, and every patriotic citizen was Imperatively called to obey the honest dictates of his own conscience, without regard to the approval or dis approval of caucuses or conventions, He appealed for true loyalty to the "true American Democracy," as agalns allegiance to "that wild, turbulent and Instructive form of Democracy which had been Imported from abroad, which is so nearly allied to anarchy that It is almost Impossible to distinguish one from the other." Then, after enumerating what he de clares to be the principles of true De mocracy as It had been Interpreted by Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland, the secretary said that was the kind of Democracy he believed In and that hfs support would be given to the candi dates who represented It in this con test.
