2 there are Democrats who are proud of tbe past four years I have not seen them." The speaker then laid down what he conceived to be the principles of the Republican party. "It favcrs free speech and free I'ande," he said, "and above all is for a tariff that will revive the slumbering industries of the country. The Republican party is to-day the genuine party of bimetallism; it favors gold siiver and such legislation as will Keep them at par, so that a silver dollar will be wortn 100 cents in every land where comm'ree is known. At believes in preserving all forms of the currency of this country at par, so that the workingmen's silver dollar shall be worth as much as the banker's gold in the vault. There is more money in this couutry today than there has ever been before, and the money question is not the cause of our troubles." Here some one in the audience inquired, "Where is all this money "I will tell you where it is," replied the speaker with spirit and amid cheers.

"When the Democrats struct down the industries of the country by passing the Wilson bill, they closed the factories, drove capital out of business, made workmen idle and brought universal bankruptcy and despair." At this point there was prolonged applaase and great cheering. The speaker then explained how the Democrats, having failed to conduct the affairs of the Government on the tariff theory, recently cast about for a new battle-cry and chose the silver issue. "But the people have memories," said, "and I do not believe they will try the Democratic panacea again. The people want domestic and foreign commerce; they want a revival of industries, and, above all, protection against the cheap laborof foreign lands. In California particularly we need a development of one great industry the production of sugar beets a business that would in time pive employment to thousands and enable this State to furnish bugar for the entire Union.

"We want such a policy as will open the factories of the country, and until the industries of workshops and field are revived It will not help any one to Increase, tbe money of the country even to billions of dollars." The speaker explained that it was the stamp of tbe Government that made all American money i Uerchangeable at par, and that lie, with his party, believed in maintaining gold and silver at par. In this country there were no classes, and there should" be no sections. "The Democrats are trying to create doubt and confusion in the minds of the people by appealing to tbe envy in our hearts. This thought I want you to bear in mind; the thought that we need protection. Bear in mind that the Democrats have reaffirmed their free-trade notions in their Cnicago platform tbe same old party trying to sneak back to power under a new and false issue.

"If you are dissatisfied with these laws, if you are tired of seeing this Nation borrow money to pay running expenses in times of profound peace, vote the Democratic party out of power and put bacK tbe Republicans, who will restore confidence and bring prosperity to the land aaain." Throughout the delivery of the speech there was the greatest imaginable enthusiasm, and Mr. Shortridge's concluding remarks moved the audience to prolonged cheering. In substance he saia: "Fellow-citizens, you cannot tear down one section of the country without injuring the other; yoii cannot put out the fires of the furnaces without affecting the farmer. We must preserve this great 'ountry for our own people. We must devise ways and means to give employment to our own people, and it is infinitely better, wiser, it is more patriotic, to make it a matter of aentimenti to give employment to the men of New England and the South and West, and to California, than it is to start the factories of England going or open tae mills of Germany.

"Now, fellow-citizens, I beg to appeal to the Republicans of this city and county, and I ask you to remember that the Republican party is- worthy of your confidence and support now as it has been in tbe past. I ask you, men and women, under the banner of ti.e early lathers, tbe great leaders of the party, to ftand Crm in this campaign. "I ask the young men of the Republican party to remember that they have a brave and a serious duty to perform, and that the party of their fathers is worthy of their allegiance. I ask the thoughtful Democrats who are here, who love their State, who believe in tbe constitution, men wbo believe in tbfl supremacy of the law, men who believe in the fa.th and in the honor of the Na ion, to stand under the Republican banner. I ask you to consider the position of the Republican party and what it has done; to consiaer that it is the friend of silver; that it is the friend of all the currency we have, and to remember that all of this currency is at par because of the laws which the Republican party enacted.

"With our boundless prairies it is a sad and pathetic thing to know that men are begging for the poor privilege of toiling for their daily bread. If a statesman wants to earn the credit of his countrymen he will give honest men a chance to toil, and William Me- Kinley is a man to give the people of this country, under his leadership, under the principles which he espouses, a chance to work, and a chance to earn an honest living. Republicans, let me ask you to organize; and, if there be any lack of harmony, to harmonize. Let me ask you to march shoulder to shoulder, and march confidently, and lift the banner high and proudly, because it is the banner of protection, the banner of bimetallism, the banner of prosperity, and the banner which, in the bands of Me- Kinley, will be lifted higher than all the banners of the earth, so that if the other great powers of the world do not love it, they will learn to respect and to fear it. "So, ladies and gentlemen, the case, so far as lam concerned, is submitted.

You are the jury; you will consider these things. Others will address you, you will read, you think, you will consider, judge these questions calmly in theliiibt of experience, and if you do, I have no doubt that the Republican parly will not only sweep this county, that you will not only aid in returning your Congressma Mr. Bowers, and carry your legislative ticket, bat you will assist us of the north en rolling up a splendid majority for our champion, your champion, the Nation's sharupion, the spotless and incomparable itatesnian, William McKmley." At the conclusion of the oration of the evening, Rev. Anna Shaw made a pleasing address on woman suffrage. She was cheered with enthusiasm.

Pythian Knights and Suicides. CLEVELAND. Ohio, Sept. To-day's Session of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, was the warmest of the convention. The report of the board of control, Uniform Rank, recommending that suicides be debarred from all death benefits if death occur within a period of rive years after joining the order, aroused a strong opposition.

AN OPEN PARK FILLED. So Vast Is the Throng That the Candidate Divides a Speech Into Four Sections. REPEATS THE USUAL SONG.

S3ys There Is Only One Issue in the Campaign, and That Is Cbeap Money. Ohio, Sept. ln all his career, wonderful as it has been, and filled during the past week witn remarkable demonstrations in his honor, William J. Bryan never addressed an audience bo large and so enthusiastic as that gathered in the State House grounds to-night. Under the shadow of the big structure where the Ohio Legislature holds its sessions, the Democratic nominee saw before him a concourse of Major McKinley's fellow State's people that cannot be compared to any political assemblage in the country, except to the thousands of people who gather in front of the capitol at Washington once every four years to hear a new chief magistrate make his salutatory.

Fancy an open park of ten acres and nearly every foot of that great space, with the exception of narrow strips on the very outskirts, choked with human beings, each pressed so closely to his fellows that movement was impossible. The steps of the Capitol building presented one slanting mass of perspiring but patient humanity, who stood in relief against the packed and jammed thousands of their fellows on the grassy lawn and cemeDted pathways. People who have witnessed the inauguration of the Ohio Governors in recent years say that the crowds on those occasions never numbered more than 30,000. But to-niglit everybody was saying that the inaugural assemblies did not compare in point of numbers with the magnificent congregation that came to hear the young Democratic candidate on the issues of the campaign. As Mr.

Bryan himself said, "It filled all outdoors," and so far beyond the reach of his voice did the solid human mass extend that Mr. Bryan was obliged to divide his speech into four segments, one delivered from each side of the canopied stand that had been erected for the occasion. Fifty thousand is a conservative estimate of those who were present. People had been pouring into Columbus all day from the surrounding country. This is the second day of the State Fair, and that with the additional attraction of presence filled the city with strangers.

Then a number of political organizations, to whom tbe fair had no interest, but whose sote object was to do honor to the Democratic standard-bearer, helped swell the crowds in the streets and to lead in the enthusiasm which was everywhere prevalent. Two thousand miners came from the Hocking Valley. The Newark silver organizations, numbering 1500, put in an appearance. Two thousand more, composing silver clubs, came from Mount Vernon, and places to the west of Columbus furnished 700. The railroid companies gave unusually low rates and thousands of people took advantage of them.

Mr. ard Mrs. Bryan reached Columbus over the Big Four at 3 :30 o'clock this afternoon in a special car chartered by the members of the Columbus reception committee, who accompanied them from Cleveland. The candidate was chetred by thousands at the railway station and by thousands more along the mile or more of streets through which he was taken, escorted by the Franklin County Silver League, tne Jackson Club and other local and visiting Bryan and Swall organizations. There was a tremendous jam at the Chittenden Hotel, where apartments had been secured lor Bryan and his wife, but a way was forced through the wildly excited enthusiasts gathered there in the hope of getting a look at the Democratic standard-bearer, and tbe rest of the procession passed on.

Prior to to-night's great demonstration in front of the State House there was another parade, in which of course Mr. Bryan was the central figure, seated in a carriage drawn by four white horses. The local silver clubs and those from other places in the State, many of them with bands of music at their heads, marched behind tbe carriage along streets thronged with interested and cheering spectators. A number of buildings were decorated, the illuminations of the permanent arches maintained by Columbus business men here were handsome and the display of fireworks were extreme fine. By good police arrangements far better than that of any city visited by the candidate, a way was kept clear from the outskirts of the park to the atand in front of the capitol building, and throuen this.

Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and those accompanying them were enabled to reach the assigned positions with difficulty. Just before they arrived the stand, hitherto darkened, burst into a flood of light, givtn from scores of electric globes which studded the ribs supporting the canvas ceiling. The stand was spacious and accommodated not only a number of prominent Democrats and their wives, but tie members of a brass band and the Democratic Glee Club.

Nearly every person in that stupendous audience, packed over ten acres of ground, could see the Democratic candidate as he mounted the steps of the rostrum and stood before them. And then the cheering bepan. The initial shouts came from those who were the first to see tne young Nebraskan, and then they spread through the crowd until it seemed that every man and woman there was testing the capacity of his or her pulmonary organs. "Bryan, Bryan, Bryan!" the cry, and" the cheering rose in volume until it reached the finai limit of enthusiastic potency. James Ross, chairman of the Franklin County Democratic Committee, attempted to call tbe assemblage to order in his capacity as temporary chairman.

But the buzz of voices was so great in volume that it drowned his words, and nobody knew what he was saying, until Allen W. Thurman, the son of the "Oid Roman," stepped forward and acknowledged bis introduction by Mr. Mr. Thurraan did not waste words. He knew what the people wanted, and in a few brief sentences presented Mr.

Bryan. The cheering was more intense than it had been at Mr. Bryan's appearance, and it was several minutes before it ceased. So great was the confusion caused by those who could not hear that the first words of the orator were lost to all but those near hire, and he was obliged to until quiet was secured. But this was not accomplished until Mr.

Bryan aanounced THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1896. that he would speak upon all sides of the platform. The assembled thousands cave a shout of gratification at this and tried to keep as quiet as their enthusiasm would allow for the rest of the speech. Mr. Bryan's argument for silver coinage covered no new points.

It was begun as follows: This is the largest audience to whom I ever tried to speak. 1 bave had occasions to speak wuare tbe audience filled the house, but I never had occasion to talk where tbe audience fiile4 all outdoors. If you all vote as you are now shouting (voices, "We 1 do not see how there be any question about the triumph of free silver in this State. We have entered on a campaign which means much to the American people. If our opponents speak truly when they describe what will in their judgment be the effect of free coinage, then the success of the Chicfigo ticket will surely be a calamity to the country, v.

on the other hand, we speak the truth when we describe to you the effects of a gold standard then the maintenance of a gold standard until foreign nations come to our relief is an evil which cannot be contemplated by those who love their country. We have begun an warfare against the gold Standard. The Republican party, without declaring that the gold standard is a good thing, has declared that the gold standard must be maintained. I call your attention to tne fact that no party In trie history of this country has ever in National convention commended the goid standard. Its effects are so bad thai no party has dared to uphold it.

At this point Mr. Bryan, who had been facing west as he spoke, now turned to the south front of the platform and said he would speak for a while to the people on that side. He continued: The enemy whom we are fighting in this campaign is an enemy who has never gone into an open battle. The advocates of a gold standard have never dared to submit tbe gold standard to the arbitrament of a ballot. Every step that has been taken has been taken by "stealth and without the approval of the American people.

When silver was demonetized In 1873 the people Lad not discussed it; and persons who were members of and who voted on the measure testified thoy did not understand that the bill demonetized silver. When the crime wrs di- covered and the American people attempted to restore silver to its ancient place by the side of gold, the opponents of free coinage forced the Bland act upon Congress as a compromise, and as soon as the Bland act went into force, tne enemies of free silver sought to repeal the Bland act and leave nothing in Its But the silver sentiment grew until 1890, and in that year the opponents of free coinage, being afraid of the passage of a free coinage Dili, secured another compromise which was known as the Sherman law.

J. W. Wilson, United States District Attorney for Arizona, was among the visitors at the Illinois Democratic headquarters this afternoon. He is very enthusiastic over the prospects for Bfyan's success in all the States west of the Missouri, declaring that California is well in line, and that the only doubtful State west of the Mississippi is lowa. On Saturday an important conference will take place at the Democratic National headquarters.

Mr. Bryan will here on Friday evening, and a number of the leaders have been asked to meet him at Chairman Jones' rooms the following morning.

Mr.

Howell of Georgia will not be able to be present. Copies of correspondence between Treasurer St. John and a department employe at Washington have been received here. The employe desired to contribute to the campaign fund, and asked if the names of such contributors would be kept quiet, in order to guard against possible disfavor with the present administration. Treasurer St.

John replied that under no circumstances would they be made public, unless Mr. Bryan were elected, in which event they might be published as a roll of honor. George B. Keeney, National organizer of the silver party, and president of the association of National silver to-day established headquarters at the Oliftoo House, and will remain here until after the National convention of that organization, whi' occurs on the 23d inst. CLOSING AT WEAVERVILLE Taking of Evidence Completed in the Trial of Jce Gregory.

James Simonin Says George White Him a Horse to Ride to tbe Lynching. WEAVERVILLE. Sept The counsel for the defense, Oregon Sander 3 and Robert R. Fowler, in the trial of Joe Gregory, accused of complicity in the murder of "Jack" Littlefield near Round Valley on Septemoer 27, 1895, rested its case at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon and a recess until to-morrow morning was granted to enable counsel to prepare arguments. roughout the trial Gregory has displayed an intense interest in the proceedings, ana he has grown thin aud nervous in the past week.

Richard Lightfoot, cousin of Joe Gregory, testified this morning that the mule ridden by Radcliffe on the 27th bud been shod on the 24th of September. When asked what impressed the fact on his memory he said that a short time after Littlefield had been killed, and before the preliminary examination of the accused, he heard that somebody who was tracking (looking for tracks?) about the scene of the murder, had said something about finding the tracks of a barefooted mule, when Mrs. Williamson (Gregory's mother) remarked: "Our mule was shod." In rebuttal W. F. Whitney, Justice of the Peace at Covolo, testified ti at Trapper Fancher's reputation for truth, honesty and integrity was bad.

Sylvester Palmer swore that the distance from the break of Jesus Creek to the Wilburn crosbing of Eel River was about live or six miles, and that it woutd take a man on horseback at least two hours to travel v. Sheriff Berpin testified that it took him one hour and forty-six minutes to ride from the place of ttU'lield's arrest to the scene of the hanging. James Simonin said that he had -met Joe LU'htfoot in the middle of the afternoon of September 26, and that Lightfoot had invited him to join a par'y to nang Littlehtld and some halfbreeds. Witness said he had no horse, and so they went up to hite's place and White tol i them to go and pet the horse of Tuttle, his head vaquero, and say nothing about it. In the evening the witness backed out of the expedition.

SANTA It VS A Arthur nation's Curio Proves to Be a Giant Cartridge. SANTA ROSA, Sept. Arthur Batton of Bennett Valley met with a peculiar accident here to-day.

The wound was dressed by a physician, but the extent of the injury cannot be ascertained, CLERGYMEN VISIT LI HUNG CHANG. Members of Missionary Boards Warmly Greet the Viceroy. THANKS FOR HIS AID. Foreign Work Assisted in the Past by the Policy of the Diplomat HUNTINGTON MAKES A CALL.

The Railroad Magnate Accepts an In. vitaticn to Invest Some of His Wealth in China. NEW YORK, N. Sept. Li Hung Chang received a deputation of clergymen representing the various American boards of foreign missions engaged in missionary work in China.

Rev. Dr. Eilenwood, secretary of fhe Presbyterian board of missious, read an address thanking the Viceroy for tne protection afforded American missionaries in China, and for the many kind expressions uttered by Li Hung Chang and others of the appreciation with which the educational work, the services of the missionaries, both men and women, in the hospitals and the self-denying efforts put forth by the missionaries in the distribution of relief in the tune of famine were regarded. The clergymen were presented by Hon. John Foster, who said they represented the best element in the United States.

The special Embassador made both a verbal and written reply. Through his interpreter he said he appreciated the disinterested motives which prompted the missionaries to engage in missionary work in China. He was especially gratified at the good work accomplished by the medical colleges. Christianity and Confucianism have points in common. Both taught iueal truths, the one being positive, the other negative.

He had not words to express' his appreciation of the efforts of Americans to improve the souls, the minus and the physique of bis countrymen. In conclusion he observed that the opium trade and its use was tbe great curse of the Chinese people. He lully appreciated tbe efforts made Dy American missionaries to modify the traffic and pointed with pride to the fact that no converts were accepted until they had abandoned the opium-smoking baDit. He also fully appreciated the prayers offered up by Americans during the illness following shooting by the Japanese. The Viceroy's written address was a formal acknowledgment of his grateml welcome, in which in tne name of tbe Emperor of China he tendered bis best thanks lor the approval and appreciation of the protection afforded to American missionaries.

Then Mr. Foster presented the various clergymen, with whom Li shook hands cordially, in nearly every instance their aues. C. P. Huntingion wasarnon the callers on Li Hung Chang to-day.

He came to offer Li a private car for his journey westward. jLji asked the usual questions as to age and wealth. He told Mr. Huntington that he knew that he was a very rich man and that he knew that h.e owned raiirojds and steamboat lines and other Dig properties. He invited Mr.

Huntington to go to China and invest some of his money there, telling him that he wonid undoubtedly profit by so doing. His Excellency assured Mr. Huntington that ha would accord him all encouragement for the investment of capital in the development of enterprises in China. Mr. Huntington told the Viceroy that he would go to China and look about him to determine whether to invest money there.

This seemed to delight Li Hung Chang, and he shook hands very cordially with Mr. Huntington in bidding him good-by. The Merchants' Club gave a reception to Li Hung Chang this afternoon. This evening, at Delmonico's, was given a banquet in Li's honor by the Chinese merchants of the city, the guests including also the Chinese Minister, the Consuls-General at New York and Havana, Govprnor Morton, General Ruger and Mayor The Viceroy was not present because while leaving the Metchants' Club alter iunc one of his lineers was jammed accidentally in the door of his carriage. In spite of the pain Li went through the remaiuder of the programme of the afternoon.

To-night the injured finger was sufficiently painful and swollen so that be remained in his appartments at the hotel, his physicians devoting themselves to caring for the injury. He was represented at the dinner by his son, Lord Li, and bers of his suite. After tbe dinner Hon. John W.Foster, in behalf Consul Sze, the chairman, said that according to Chinese customs there would be no toasts. Secretary of the Chinese legation at Washington, however, proposed the health of their hosts, the Chinese merchants, and Governor Morton, in brief words of regret at the Viceroy's enforced absence, asked all present to drink to the t'mbassador's health.

This closed the function. PROTECTING YOSEMITE PARK. Cannot Be Used for Stilling, Mining cr Agricultural Pumuits. WASHINGTON, D.

Foreign Diplomats a Second Note to the Porle Regarding th; Awfu image. BELGRADE, Servia, Sept. An uprising has occurred among the Moslems of the town of Uskup, European Turkey, and the Christians are being massacred and their homes pillaged by the mob. CONSTANTINOPLE, Turrets, Sept. The foreign diplomats have sent a second note to the Porte calline; attention to the conclusive evidence obtained that tbe Moslem mob which massacred the Armenians was organize 1 with the connivance of certain officials.

It is known, also, that hundreds of ruffians were brought from the Asiatic side of the Bosporus to take part in the work of murder and rapine, and were sent back to their homes after the bloody work had been finished. The number of persons killed in Sunday's rioting at Hasskein is estimated at 200. The owners of the houses looted are now returning. Over 1000 persons were massacred in the Psamatra district. Three hundred Armenians have been dragged out of houses and murdered.

Tlie city is perfectly quiet to-day. The shops are open and business generally is resumed. The number of persons killed In Sunday's riot at Hasskein is estimated at 200. Over 1000 persons were massacred in the Paamatra district, 300 Armenians having been dragged out of their houses and murdered by Kalin alone. Baron de Calice, the Austrian Embassador, has had several interviews wah the Sultan, who repeats his assurance that ample measures have been taken to insure quiet.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. The cruiser Cincinnati has been ordered to Turkey. This does not affect the cruise of the Bancroft, that vessel being destined exclusively for duty as guar.iship to tne American legation at Constantinople, while the Cincinnati and other vessels of the squadron are to remain In Turkish waters outside the Dardanelles unless rcumstances arise to call lor re-enforcements and a display of naval force.

It is explained ihat the order 3to the Cincinnati have been in contemplation for some time, and there is no particular significance in their publication at the present juncture. It is also said that it is the intention of the department to bring the Marblehead home as soon as she can be spared from the Mediterranean, as time of a great many men on the station has expired, and it is hoped to gather them all on the Marblehead for the homeward cruise. So it is argued no real increase in the force in Turkish waters is designed unless affairs appear to warrant it. Consecrated a Special Archbishop. ROME, Italy, Sept.

The bright array of day decorations on every street in the business district was enhanced to-night by brilliant electric illuminations. The flag for which the veterans foucht is omnipresent. Martial music from many bands and the marching of Grand Army posts would give tbe city the appearance of a homecoming from the war were it not for the absence of those weapons with which the boys in blue once fought.

Rear- Admiral Richard W. U. S. of Lafayette Post, New York City; John C. Linehan of Concord, junior vice-commander of the New Hampshire Department, and Major T.

S. Clarkson of Nebraska. Tne strengtli of tha quartet has not been sufficiently crystallized to adnni of a prediction as to the successful candidate. By general consent, however, this seems to be the East's year for the coveted honors of commander and next encampm-ni city.
