Tlioso dis tillers, the names of whom those In terested at present refuse to divulge, nnd the proprietors of the Latoula distillery, opposite Cincinnati, have as yet refused to sign the agreement, and the output of the combine Is so great that unless their signatures to the agreement tire obtained, the plan will probably fall through.

It Is absurd to think for a moment that Maceo, who Is beloved by all Cubans, could be murdered by his own people.

E Golden Pleasantry and Gos sip on Trainboard, JOURNAL MAN',S .GUM. Indicates What He Thinks About Things Various, On the Train for St. Louis, I July 17, 181MI. f I loft Salem, Marlon county, Ore gon, Thursday, for,St. Louis with a llrni determination lo do all in my power to secure llic nomination by all the silver parties of the Hon. Win, J, Rryan, of Salem, Marlon county, Illinois. 1 left ii typical gold standard crowd discussing the money question as the train pulled out of Salem. They were a stato house official, a county otllclal and a Southern Pacific otllclal. Llko Solomon's lllle, they wpro nrraycif In all their glory and 1 supposo will bo hard at. workon thcirgoldeu Job when I return. I wnnt to say I havo only tho highest respect for men In public office, but 1 do not believe in tho salaried officials of. our country running Its pnrty politics. Ab Salem Is both" a county sent, a. state capital and a city of soma importance, about every other man In politics Is an office-holder. Whllo I respect tho onicc-holdcr so long as ho performs his duty nnd attends to his business, I do not want to overestimate his Im portance. Ho Is not a better Judgo of what Is sound finance or good Re publicanism or good Democracy than tho ninny who works font living and pays taxes. The court houso or stato house rat who spends time iiinnaging primaries and corrupting voters In blocks is a worso enemy of tho public good than tho man convicted of a felony and behind prison bars. Tho latter Is to pay tho penalty of n crlmo committed against tho common wealth. The former Is undermining thoconlldcnco of tho pcoplo In their own government. I love the men who hold tho offices nnd at a safe dlstanconm going to tell them somo plain truths about them selves. But I want them to havo a llttlo toleration for tho sound money men who nro sound nt their own ex pense, wjio pay their campaign bills out of tholr own pockets. Wo aro going to have a good time together, but wo aro not going to surrender our private Judgment as to what consti tutes tho good of our country to any class of officials. Both thoy and wo should bo above tho suspicion of polit ical activity for private gain. I claim to bo a sound monoy mmi. My father railed In one of the panics In the early seventies, when nn era of falling prices following the greenback Inflation. Ho was u successful coun try merchant and Instead of taking the benefit of the bankruptcy law, ho turned over all his property to his creditors, confessed judgment on tho balances ho owed, and wo all went to work to earn money to pay off princi pal, Interest, costs aud attorney's fees to tho last cent, which was no more than was our duty. If every business man and banker who falls, would go to work, with his family to help him, and do tho same thing, they would havo something to feel proud of tho rest of their lives. There should lie no blot on tho escutcheon of the fam ily honor of any American, If tho fam ily has health and opportunity to re move It by honest Industry. Thero can bo no aristocratic prldo equal to the feelings that you have paid your honest debts by honest labor. Abhorring repudiation, counten ancing nothing short of honest pay ment of debts public and private, having no belief whatever lu flat money schemes,! go to St. Louis to do SOM SILVER SOUNDS nil In my power, God helping me, nnd with principle for my only guide, to unite the-American people for Brynn and bimetallism. I believe tho gold standard would give us a dishonest dollar, founded upon 'Injustice to tho masses, hiding Its faco In every shnmo of Its own selfishness and cheating worst or all those who innocently or igtiornntly advocate It. I believe under the gold standard wo would live lu constant rear of contraction and departure or gold from our coun try. The gold holders would have no confidence In their own scheme and would Tie suspicious of each other In this country aud at the mercy of gold syndicates abroad. JShort of resting our tlnanco system upon the gold and silver product of our own country as agaliilst resting It upon banks and trust nompanlos, wo havo no prospect of security and stability for the ruturc. The only way to restore confidence In our currency, bring money out or hldlngttnd put Into circulation Is to destroy tho gold bogey by an over whelming vote of tho American pco plo In ravororbliiictalllsmaiidagatnst the pernicious doctrine that wu can only clrculato silver money and paper monoy that Is llrst or all redeemable In gold. The pcoplo will get no re lief until they elect a 'president who will declare that nil tho money wo now have, gold, silver nnd paper, shall l)o legal tender money for nil pur poses, on cqunl terms before tho law and that tho man or men who attempt to discriminate against any of It, or to doprcclato a dollar of It shall bo de clared a public enemy. Until tho American pcoplo assert their sover eignty on this question In a positive mid decisive manner, their govern ment will bo at tho mercy of tho money specluators and they thorn bclvcswlll be under tho bondngo of tho money power. Holding theso views I go to St. Louis to try to unlto.for Bryan for president because ho represents tho pcoplo ns against tho gold syndicate. McKlnloy Is a noble, honorable, pa triotic Christian gcntloman. He was a silver man and nbhorcd tho singlo gold standard. With his clean character, porsonal Integrity and pro tcctlvo principles, ho was tho Idol of tho pcoplo until ho refused to express his real scntlmontH nnd honest con victions at tho bidding of tho gold syndicate. Ho repudiated his life long belief In silver as tho standard primary monoy nnd fell Into tho trap of tho goldltcs. In tho name 'of tho best monoy In tho world, when there Is no such thing, ho wants n dishon est dollar that will only lot a part of the pcoplo prosper whllo It is crush ing tho llfo out of tho rest of them. As noble bravo McKlnloy, loving his fcllowmon from tho largeness of his heart, tho pcoplo lovo that man. Bub as Mark Hanna's man, ns tho gold padlocked Nnpoleon nnd hcnrt-stlflcd politician, tho pcoplo will repudiate him. E. IIofer. A Prohl. Withdraws. jFairuuky, IIIb., July 17. C. W.

HUNDREDS SHED TEARS As He Talks About Early Days in His Native Town. Salem, III., July 17. W. J. Bryan's reception by his natlvo town Wednes day was tho greatest event In tho his tory of this place In his speech to tho vast assembly of old friends ho said: "I have no disposition to talk poll tics today. Returning to tho scenes which surrounded iny early home, tho memories of other days crowd out all thoughts of subjects upon which wo limy differ. I remember with such grateful appreciation, the kindly feel ing which has abounded, regardless of church or party lines, that I shall not say ono word to divide upon any sub ject those who aro assomblcd hero to day. Thla Is tho home of my birth, of my boyhood and my early manhood. Thrco blocks south, 1 llrst saw thd light of day. A mllo to the northeast, I lived until I was 23, and I shall novcr ccaso to bo grateful to tho parents who took mo to tho farm, and there allowed mo to dovolop tho physical stength that is needed In tho campaign which wo havo to pass through. It was In thin courthouse that I llrst gained the ambition to bo a lawyer. It was In this court Iiouso that I mado tho first political speech I over tried to mako. ItwnH on tho fair grounds near that I spoke for the llrst tlmo on n'Fourth of July. It was to this city and to this grato ful Iparontal roor that I brought her who has promised to share llfo'ajoys and sorrows with me. And all of theso happy associations arlso today before mo, and lcavo no desire to think of other things. I cannot forget Salem. I cannot forget whoso kindly face smiled upon mo boforo fortuno smiled. I cannot forget tho spot nenr by, tho sllonco of tho dead, whore lies tho ashes of tho father whoso upright llfo has bcon au lnsplratloa and whoso counsels lingered tu my cars when ho was gonoitlio spot whore rest tho ashes of n mother as tender and truo, as patient, as gentle, as loylng ns God in his Inllnlto lovo over gavo to man . I cannot forget this homo, nor theso people. And I can say no more today than to express In words, which, if not olaborato, will bo sincere, tho deep, heartfelt thanks for theso tokens, these manifestations of good will. "Ttioro Is nn Ideal piano of politics, and I bcllovo we stand upon It horo today. Wo differ In opinion; wo dif fer ns to party politics, but wo meet today, recognizing tlioso differences, and yet feeling n charity toward each other. Wo aro nil Imbued with tho saiuo spirit. We all possess tho same ambition. Wo nro all living to curry out tho sumo great purpose. "I thank the Republicans who have assembled hero. I thank the prohi bitionists as much as I do the Demo crats, because, at last, my friends, when theso questions which arise from tlmo to tlmo on tho surfneo and disturb tho thought and agitato tho pcoplo have passed away, wo all agreo lu theso great fundamental principles which underlie our form of govern mont.
