nomination he would have had no more
j loyal supporter In the United States
I than I.”
This incident was repeated at Chamois,
where Mr. Bland presented Mr. Bryan to
about a hundred people in the same lan
| guage he had used at Washington. Mr.
l>g. an in his turn said:
i ”lt my loyalty to the cause of the people
I is ever questioned there is no man on
whose certificate I would sooner rely than
upon the certificate of Richard P. Bland.”
Mr. Bryan and Mr. Bland Indulged in some
pleasantries at the crowd and then some
| body proposed three cheers for Bland. Mr.
■ Bryan led the hurrah by waving his hat
above his head.
Mr. Bland left the party at Jefferson
City, where he will make a speech tonight.
Love Feast Continues.
A rousing reception was given Mr. Bryan
at Jeflferson by a crowd of more than a
thousand people who were assembled about
the railroad station. Governor Stone. May
or Stiver. ex-Congre«sman John P. O’Neill
ar 1 other prominent men met Mr. Bryan
an! Mr. Bland at the train where the
crowd had gathered.
Mr. Bryan was greeted with loud cheers
He was presented to the audience by Mr.
Biand and Governor Stone as the next
president of the United States and
here Bland again took occasion to
express his satisfaction at the choice of
the Ch cago convention and predicted that
Missouri would roll up for him a majority
of W.W» in November. After the band in
attendance had fin shed playing. Mr. Bry
an made a n*at little speech on the line
of those prev ously made.
When Mr. Bryan concluded he was again
r v »-r-4 with vigof. Governor Stone pre-
I sente! Mrs Bryan as the next mistress of
the white house and the Bryan party then
withdrew to the train which left Jefferson
City at 1! p. tn. In his speech here Mr.
Bryan said:
“I-idiea an! Gentlemen—l have just been
thinking where cculd I find tn all the coun
try a combination of circumstances which
w ! make a speech so pleasant as In a
city named after the gr«-itest democrat
ts it ever lived, and in the congressional
d -r; t of one of the greatest leaders the
I democratic party has ever known—Richard
P. Bland—(chterst—and presided over by
I one of the greatest fighters—Governor
ft'ene—and to I ave nothing undone they
have Just elected, as mayor of the town,
■ a man named Silver. (Laughter and
ch-rs.l Thomas Jefferson. Dick Bland,
Bill Sto.-.. and Mayor Sliver! I’m at home
j here.”
"I l-elieve from the bottom of my heart,
I believe, and the belief touches every fiber
, It n.y being, that until we restore stiver
i to Its eq :*l place by the side of gold, to
the place that It occupied for so many
years, so many centuries and so many
ag-«. there can be no lasting prosperity
brought back to the homes of those who
toll They tell that they want confidence
restored. We tell them that confidence
tsjst have a substantial basis upon which
t> r« st, and that so long as you legislate
v a! le oat of property there is nothing sub
st-nt.al on whl'h confidence can root.
Referring to Mr. Bland Mr. Bryan said
tint the -liver leader was needed n con
p.-e«s. ”If it will not be his privilege to
.-._-n a b II g: Ing silver a place with gold,"
’ s*;d Mr. Bryan, “It may be his honor to
1.-.trodu ea bill which will place gold and
I s.lver on the s«me footing at the legal ra
tio of !•: to L It I can’t say anything about
t - •. k> • n rrinat 4 at Chicago, I can
say that the platform breathes the spirit

I was sorry he was not on the train.

The Battle Song of Silver.
Let sons of freedom now awake
And smite the money-changer.
The hopes of mhlicns are at s’ake.
The nation is in danger:
•"Amer! a can ne’er be sold.”
So rpiake the men who won It;
Th? cross map- be of burnished goll—
W’e’U not be nailed upon IL
The crown of therna shall never press
The brow of honest labor.
The toiler’s wrongs shall have redress.
We’ll greet him as our neighbor.
All Europe may in anger threat ,
And growl the British lion. |
The mon- y kings of Gotham fro—
Weil rout them all with Bryan:
The products of our mighty land
Must flow to every nation.
No tariff hfeh between shall stand
To court retaliation;
A surplus huge we do not need—
A bone of base contentions.
To gratify a party’s greed
Or waste on bogus pensions.
Th* giant trust shall never throw
Around o’ir neck his collars.
But better far "In God we trust”
We’ll stamp on s.lver dollars.
Silver and gold together run.
To part them Is a blunder.
What the creator joins m one
Let no man put asunder.
Our chieftain speeds along the lines,
His sliver tongue Is calling,
Th< golden gods in fre< <jom’s shrines
From seats usurped are falling;
High gleams his sword against the sky
With splendors of Orion;
We’ll fight to conquer or to dte
Beneath the flag of Bryan!

THE WEEKEY CONSTITETION, ATIuAJNTA: GA., MONDAY, JULY 20, 1896.
IOWA BIMETALLIC MEETING.
Platform Adopted Declares for Bryan
and Free Coinage at 16 to 1.
D'smolnea la., July 14—Two hundred
delegates were present at Flynn’s hall this
morning, when Provisional Chairman Amos
Stockel called the non-partisan bimetallic
state convention to order and Introduced
S. H. Bashor, of Waterloo, as temporary
chfrman.
John Hamilton, editor of The Dally News,
had been selected to act as p p
chairman, but when his address was sub
mitted to a conference of the leaders last
nfgnt it was found to be against the ratio
of 16 to 1. and a committee was appointed
to wait on Hamilton in regard to the mat
ter. Hamilton, however, preferred not to
change his remarks and the convention
will have another permanent presiding of
ficer.
The platform reported by the committee
on resolutions declares for free coinage at
the ratio of 16 to 1; indorses Bryan and
8- wall, and Instructs the delegates to sup
port them at St Louis.

BILL ARP ON BRYAN
Sage of Bartow Predicts Democratic
Success In November.
AGE IS NOT A DRAWBACK
—
Gold Is So Scarce That He Fears His
Golden Wedding Will Be a
Failure.
Never In our recollection has National
polities been in such a tangle ax It Is now.
Never such bitterness and irreconcila >le
differences in the press concerning a pa
form and a candidate. Some of their u e
i ances are shameful, intolerant, dlsgus ng.
| They speak of the Chicago platform as born
of anarchy and repudiation and use a
the odious adjectives they can find in tne
dictionary. The New York World is espe
cially bitter against both platform and
candidate and because it cannot find a
blemish in Mr. Bryan’s life or record tries
to belittle him ax the boy orator. '■ h*n
Job’s three aged friends charged him w ..
self conceit and rebellion against his Mak
er a young man listened and at last vent *
I ured to speak. He apologized for his youth
but added, "Great men are not always
wise nor does old age always understand
Judgment.” The Lord was wroth against
Job’s three aged friends, but had no word
of condemnation for Elihu.
I don’t know how old these belligerent
editors are who denoun -e Mr. Bryan for
his youth, but they seem to have forgotten
that Jefferson was only thirty-three years
oi l when h* wrote the declaration of inde
pendence, Madison was only forty when he
and Hamilton w rote and pub! shed the
Federalist, which is still sad to be the
i greatest treatise on political science
has ever appear-d in the world. Joan
I Marshall was only thirty-nine wh-n ap-
I pointed attorney general by Washington,
■ I’atriek Henry was but twenty-nine when
j he made the speech that first made h:m
famous, and was thirty-nine when George
Mason said of him, “He is by far th- most
powerful speaker I ever heard. Your pas
sions are no longer jour own when he ad
dresses them. He is the first man upon
l this continent as well In abilities as pub
! lie virtues." James Monroe was sent to
congress when he was but twenty-eight
years old. an! when he was but twentj
three Bancroft says he was the most con
spicuous representative upon th* floor or
■ United States senate when he was tw-..
nine. John Randolph was leader of the
house in 1800 when he was only twenty
eight years old.
One thing is certain. Mr. Bryan a oil
enough to capture and lead the o: 1 am
the young who are so fortunate as to h-ar
him; and Alfred Lewis, of The N- ■' York
! Journal, who has heard all his speeche..
says he has never made a failure or a m s
take; that he is a student of all history
and burns the m dntght oil. Every newspa
per correspondent at Chicago accoru.-* to
i h.m extraordinary abilities and have dared
. to say so even to the disgust of ’.he old
stags who stay* 1 at home.
As to the platform I cannot see anything
In it that should arouse such denunciation.
One platform is for gold and the other for
silver and gt>ld- Great and good men
dlt’f-r honestly about that and they have
a right to differ. The best editorial I have
•een from a gold standard paper was in
The Richmond Dispatch under the caption |
of “Don’t Exaggerate’’—the spirit ot :
which was "Don’t try to alarm the people
with predictions of ruin and panic and na
tional distress should silver be restor> i to
i its former co.*'-’ m Willie we are for a
i single gol’ carrot predict
i any* such -usltlor. will cc-nw
[ gradually •. -411 and our bank
ers and eomtf. oil are smart enough
to prepare for A and let it come by de
grees. Don’t exaggerate tne situation."
That is the waj to talk and to write.
Let everybody do like my triead Laira
more, who has ail the tlm • been a guldbug
but says he shall support Jdryuii and the
platform. 1 tried, sail ne, io aevp lheur
from pulling that silver piana in tnu plat
form, out they wourd uo it, auu uu* r am
going to stand on it until it oreuws down,
and then i can tell tne boj s, "1 tula you

ot the continental money that circulated
during the revolutionary war ana Kept on
getting worse and worse just iiae our con
lederate money did. But we got aiong

there Was anything to trade on. The

worse than the currency that we diueut
complain about the kind ot money. Town

and even individuals issued their own shiii
plusters, and everybody tuoK tneni. 1
have a dozen different kinds now- ami look
at them once in a while. We old veterans
can t be scared to death about currency,
and all we want is enough ot it, whether it
be silver or gold or greenbacks.
But we do want something done to re
vive our industries and put the wheels in
motion and increase the values ot our
land and our products. We want our boys
to have something to do at home and not
have to go away away in search ot em
ployment. We have six boys and they are
scattered from New York to Mexico. There
is another lamentable consequence to the
present distress. The marriage ot young
men and maidens have almost ceased to be.
A young man who is working for J.W or J4O
a month can’t afford to get married. Pa
rents will strain themselves to give their
Levs a collegiate education and when they
get their diplomas there is nothing for them
to do. The girls who graduate coni'- home
refined and cultured and would marry it
they could select a mate, but they can’t,
and so they Just live along tn a state ot in
r.ocuous desuetude. There are at least
twenty-five of either sex In this town who
ought to mate and marry, but they will
not. When 1 was a young man there was
no trouble about marrying. Everybody
got married. I could have married three
or four girls and my wife had choice ot
half a dozen clever young men. There was
something for everybody to do.
Now we don't expect Mr. Bryan to re
form all the evl s that have befallen the
country, but we do expect him,to veto all
the extravagance of congress. The re
form must begin right there. This last
congress spent at least L’GO.WO.K'O more than
was necessary, and it was spent on the
log-rolling principle of you vote for my bill
and I’ll vote for yours Considering the
hardness of the times these appropriations
were outrageous We want Mr. Bryan
there to watch them and curb them like
Andrew Jackson did. That lie will he
triumphantly elected we have no doubt.
It Is In the air. We fee! tt and breathe

Chicago to hear him and feel good all over
and have a little hysteria myself and feel
the turkey humps rise on my spinal column
and shed a few tears of delightful emotion
as I drank In the thrilling eloquence of the
boj’ orator as they call him. I wouldent
exchange him today for all the old political
hacks In the nation. I read all that Bar
rett and Adamson wrote to my family and
all the extracts from th* press, and it did
us all good to realize that a good and great
. man had suddenly arisen and would re
deem the nation from Its distress and its
corruption Hurrah for Brvan of Ne

RIOTING IN OHIO.

FEMININE RIOTERS EXCEL IN FIERCENESS
Aid in the Attacks with Aggressive
Fury—Demand That the Military
Be Swept Out of the Way.
Cleveland, 0.. July IT.—The fiercest fight
■lnce the strike of the Brown Hoisting
workers began, occurred this evening. The
militia kept the crowd back while the non
union men were taken from the shop*, but
the mob Increased until it numbered many
thousands and extended over a territory
of fifteen squares.
Jeers, stones and clubs drew a charge
from the police and militia. Many on both
sides were wounded. Just how: many strik
ers were hurt is uncertain, but two men
who were so severely stabbed with baj o- I
nets that they could not get away are ly
ing at the St. Clair hospital. They are
Thomas M. Greavy and Thomas Garety.
All day there were frequent clashes be
tween the mob at the Brown hoisting
works, the police and militia. The members
of the mob were in a vicious mood, and
whenever a lone soldier or policeman
be reached, violence was attempted. The
troops from 2 o’clock in the afternoon were
constantly under arms and had great u.r
ficulty In crearing the streets, two charg s
being necessary, in which the bayonets were
freelj- used. .
But as soon as a charge was ended the
mob. which early in the aflerno °”
bered 5.000, would flow back against the line
of steel like a wave ot the sea and again
begin to hoot and throw stones. M hen the ,
workmen had been taken away a ‘'' _ ‘ “ !
troops were returning to the j r , *3
tho shops, another vengeful rail.,
made upon Company F. Again a charg
was made and cold steel was driven home
so that many ot the rioters had to be
helped away. .
At this time some one sent age
alarm to the police station and pa
trol wagon was soon dashing through tne
streets causing the wildest rumors among
the thousands on their way home trotn
work. There was no need of the P« :
re-enforcements, and the crow 1, whwn
had been swelled to 15.0 W. began to melt
awa y- < 1 > ...
It looked as if the trouble was ended, but
at 7 o’clock an assault was made on a
soldier who was passing along V ilson ave
nue. Ho fought desperately as did also
a policeman who hurried to his ail. A
squad of troop* came to their rescue, but
not before the officers had been beaten into !
insensibility. 1
Again the patrol wagons rush-d to the ;
scene and had all they could lo to force a
passage through the angry mob Every
thing is now in readiness to repeal an out
break which >s expected during the night.
Women Were in the Mob.

The man was ambushed behind a pile of
stones.
The man who fired the shot quickly dis
appeared. The soldiers and u-put - s spent
the rest ot’ the night in an unsuccessful
search for the man. The ncig: borhood of
the quarry is a mass of brush and tangled
wood, and the pickers are exposed to an
ambush at any time during the night.

TWENTY MEN KILLED,
A Ferry Boat Capsizes in Cleveland
with Fearful Results.
Cleveland, 0.. July 16.—The most appalling
disaster which has occurred tn Cleveland,
except the viaduct horror ot last winter,
when a loaded street car plunge! 100 feet
into the river, occurred tonight at 8 o’clock.
While a flat-bottomed ferry boat, loaded
with between forty and fifty laborers, n is
crossing the old river channel. It was cap
sized and all the men thrown into the
channel, and between fifteen and twenty
were drowned, fourteen bodies having been
taken from the water up to 11 o'clock to
night.
The accident was due to a panic among
the men on board. The boat was so load
ed that the gunwale was only three Inches
above the water, and a passing tug made
waves which came Into the boat. At once
there was a rush to the other side and
the boat went under and spilled the men.
They were all members of a gang of ore
handlers and were coming to their homes.
The scene In the river as described by the
men on the tug and the steamer was a
wild struggle for life.
Lines and life preservers were thrown
from both vessels and many were pulled
aboard. Others of the unfortunates were
rescued by small boats and some swam
ashore. The life-saving crew was sum
moned and the work of searching for bod
ies at once began. Within a short time
seven of the unfortunate? were brought to
shore and taken to the morgue for identi
fication.
Those who escaped scattered In everj- di
rection, and it Is uncertain Just how manj
lives were lost. The crowding of the boat
was due to the fact that the ore gang
pay so much per trip on the ferry and the
more that get on the less the cost to the
passengers. The majority of the men
mostly lived on the Gauge street and Sel
den avenue, which led down to the docks
and shipyards, and tha scenes there are in
describable.
Men, women and children are running
about screaming, and the disorder which
prevails makes it impossible to get intel
ligent stories from even those who were
rescued and have returned home. The
men were all Germans or Poles and their
families cannot speak English.

PREACHERS BLOODY HANDS.
Kentucky Has a Minister Who Says ;
He Has Killed Ten Men.
Hindman. Ky.. July 16,-<Spec!aL)-Rev.
Washington Craft is ui. l-r arrest here fur
the murder of Lindville Haglns. twelve
year 3 ago.
Craft, since Hagins w as k ’.led. has I een
r Kentucky and recently has
beer, preaching in Clay county, having
jc.lt ed the Baptist church. Craft at the
time Hagtns was murdered lived in Letcher
county, and with three other men came to
Hagins’s place of business in Hindman and
called for liquor.
They became boisterous and pulled, tne r
pistols, and commenced shooting the glasses
off the counter and making targets of t.:*
pictures on the wails. Logins became
frightened and jumped through a window.
They followed, firing at him. He fell,
pierced by eleven bullets.
Craft was arreste.l. but the others es
caped, and Craft would never tell who they
were. There was an indictment against
Craft for the murder of his uncle and one
for another murder, while he was a so
charged with breaking into the county
clerk’s office at Whitesburg and stealing in
dictments against his friends.
Bill Cook, a deputy sheriff of this county,
starte I with Craft to Whitesburg. A posse
was v. h him, and when on Rock Houss
creek some men they met were identified as
men fur whom rewards had been offered.
The Fc<se started in pursuit ot the outlaws
and C-.vk was following with. Craft behind
him on horseback. ,
In s me way Craft managed to get Cook s
pistol away from him and shot the offi er
dead, took his purse and galloped off tn the
opposite direction, leaving Cook’s body ly
ing in the road. ,
Craft was a member of J. W. Wright s
gang of notorious outlaws, and his arrest
recalls the Wright-Jones-Draughan feud, in
which twenty men died with their boots on
in Knott and Letcher counties. Craft is
said to have boasted of killing one-half the
men w-ho fell during that noted mountain
war, and since he has been preaching he Is
said to have referred to his record with
much pride.
