BRYAN IN WEST VIRGINIA
Hinton. W. Va.. October = -The line
of the Chesapeake railroad traversing Vie
picturesque valleys of the Big Kanawha
and New rivers, was the scene of Mr.
Bryan's campaign today. Speeches were
made at Huntington. Hurricane. St. Al
bans. Charleston. Brownston. Westbank.
Montgomery. Sewell, Thurmond and Hin
ton. The rise of the audiences varied,
but al! of them large In proportion
to the population of the towns, and of the
surrounding country. There were espe
cially fine crowds at Huntington. Charles
ton and Hinton, people coming Into these
towns fr>.tn all the adjacent region.
The one notable f«-ature of the day was
jitr. Bryan’s repeated reference to the
mce question. ills line of travel today
was further south than he had gone.be
fore. and further than he will again go.
aqd ther** u*re quite a number of col
ored people scattered through the crowds
at all the stooping place*. Mr. Bryan
took occasion to address portions of his
speeches especially to them, appealing to
them to do justice by the Filipinos and
they would have Justice done by them
selves. At St. Albans he said:
“When we complain that the republic- i
ans are applying tn the Philippine islands >
doctrine* that deprive people of the right ,
to govern themselves, the argument that i
a republican makes is that some of the ;
southern states have adopted amend
ments requiring an educational quallfica- j
tlon for voting.
‘•lf the republicans oppose what
is being done in the south, why do j
they propose worse things in Porto
Rico and to the Philippine islands i
than have been proposed in the
south? Read the qualifications ■
adopted by ycur own administration
for voting in Porto Rico, and you will
find they have an educational quali
fication there that deprives 83 per j
cent of the black men of voting
of the right to vote; not only this,
but they deprive them cf the protec
tion of the constitution of the United
States.
“In the Philippine Islands they arc going
on flic theory that brown pi-ople there i
have no right to a voice in their govern- '
men; and when a republican tells a bl.u k
m.-iu in this country that l>< miulit to vote
the republican ticket. I want the black
man to ask him this question:
'■ ‘lf a brown man in the Philippine
islands has no right to a voice In his
governm* tit. what about ’he block man - ."
"Atal I want to ask what black ma-, can ’
stnn l on his own right to a voice In his •
o»n government If he votes the republic
an ticket and denb-s to th*- people in
other Islands, a right to a voice in their
government?
“And if the republicans tell the
colored man that he is under obliga
tions to the republican party, let the
colored man reply tha.t he has paid
bis debt of gratitude. If Lincoln
WHEELER AND HOBSON GUESTS Or A I LANTA
Confederate Veterans’ Day at the At
lanta Southern Interstate Fair, Monday,
of Inst week, was a glorious success.
Th** long parade was late In rea.-h!n-.’ the
fair grounds—nearly an hour off schedule
' clattered through the gate, the rain had
temporarily suspended, permitting th*’
waiting crowd to venture from under
cover and enthuse at sight of V heeler
at the head of bls old cavalry brigade.
The Infantry was drawn up beside the
auditorium and the mounted veterans,
followed by the guests of honor and
citizens tn carriages, passed between the
soldiers with arms at present anil the
long row of people lining the building.
General Wheeler, with uncovered head,
, b.*w. *1 his a. knowh-dgments to the cheer
ing huiw!r**ds.
Th- auditorium was speedily filled,
and when < 'ont.-rno's splendid l*a;id struck
up "Dixie" as General Wheeler and lieu
tenant Hobson stepped upon the stage,
the raft.-rs rang with prolonged <-li*-*-rs.

point. General Wheeler then pr*x-eeded

SOME OF THE THINGS WHEELER AND HOBSON DIDN’T DO AT THE FAIR,
J were here the colored man might voto

' the republican party have had more
from the colored man than they have
ever given to him. The colored man
has bestowed presiden'ies upon the
republican party and received jani- j
torships in return.
“I want the colored man before they
vote the republican ticket to know that
the policy of the republican party Is to
send a few white m-n to the Philippine
islands and hold those white men tn an- j

ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1900.
there are not many who would prefer
government employment under an empire
to whiit- ver risk might attend their em
ployment under a republic.
"I am not much of an admirer of that
civil service which is suspended when a
president is Inaiigui ated until he can till
the oltices with his friends, and is ex
tended by the president when h is about
I to retire, in order that he may protect
his friends in office. I believe that a sys
i tem of civil service might be devised
: wherein appointments would be made
upon merit and wherein the appointees |
would hold for tixeu term and not be
<li-pendent upon the will of «tn appointing
otlieer. The industrial despotism now in
augurated by the republican party is
! closing the door of opportunity against i
the voting men and driving many to seek
government employment who. under bet- ,
' ter conditions, would be employed in pro- |
I ductive industries.’’
Mr. Bryan closed with the state- !
ment that it was not his highest am- ,
bition. to be president, “but to make
this government so good that to be
a private citizen in this republic will >
1 be a greater HONOR THAN 'lO Bli
A KING IN ANY OTHER NA
TION.”
Delaware Gladly Listens to Bryan.
Wilmington. Del., October 21.—Hon. WH-
Ham J. Bryan made two speeches
iof some length In this city tonight
after having made seventeen other ad-
■ dresses during the day. Beginning at St.
I Michaels, on the eastern shore of Mary
' land, he spoke In succession at Easton,
i Preston. Hurlock, Vienna, Salisbury, Ber-
I lin. all of which are in Maryland, and
I at Frankford, Georgetown, Milford. Har
i rington, Dover, Clayton. Middletown,
Kirkwood and Newcastle, iti Delaware,
i The audiences o< the day were as a

Lieutenant Hobson Speaks.

speech, lu problo and tho expression of
his month h.- b :irs a deeid. I resemblance
! to William J. Bryan since 11 • parted with
I his mustache and it was noth":* oh- that
! the hair on his crown is getting sparse.
I He wore a black I’rince Albert coat and
Ind the bearing of a statesman on the I
i rostrum. During much of his speech he
manifested a tense inspiration, beginning
I with slow deliberation and toward the
’ last sh aking rapidly and enunciating in-
I dMinetlv. His voice was not equal to
I the effort. The greatest enthusiasm of
1 the occasion was exhibited by the audi- I
j<n< e wh-n ideii-.erant Holis m stepped I
! to the front of th-- platform and his re- |
j marks wen- frequently applauded.
Lieutenant Hobson spoke mainly of the ]
I Spanish war, ami took occasion in com- i
paring that brief contest with the long j
war between tho states to pay a fine '
tribute to the achievements and bravery •
, of the soldiers of th** confederacy. He I
said the former conflict was not to be 1
mentioned in comparison with the latter. ;
Ho rather depreciated the feats at arms
of the American army in Cuba, and, re
ferring to the intense patriotism evinced :
, to his countrymen at home, said: “If .
you want to praise any one. praise the j
people he referred to the question of
trusts. He again charged that the repub
lican party was suggesting no remedy
for the trusts, and that the reason why
this was so was that the republican cam
paign contributions caine from the trusts.
From Philadelphia to Jersey City.
Jersey City, N. J., October 2.>.—The
first day of Mr. Biyan’a tour of New
Ji rsty, which was closed here with
j six meetings tonight, may be de
scribed as a mad rush. From
the time he • entered Washington
park, opposite Philadelphia, until he
I ciosed his last meeting here, ho hail made
fifteen speeches. The averttge of th* ir
i duration was greater than usual. Ho
I spoke In succession at Washington park,
j Riverside, Burlington, • Trenton (twice),
! Thlneet-n Junction, New Brunswick,
. Elizabeth. Marion and Jersey City (six
I times). His journey thr High t»hc state
i was a surprise to those accompanying
i Mi. Bryan, if not to him, for In few
• states, if any, has he had larger or
I more demonstrative audiences. His mect
j Ing at Washington park was almost a
record breaker in both of these respects,
and h's nu-etlr.gs in Trenton and his re
ception in this city were only second to
the Washington pa'k meeting In numbers
and in feeling displayed.
Probably no candidate for the presiden
cy was ever so much jostled about and
pushed around in one day's time as Mr.
I Bryan was today. At most stopping
places the police found it impossible to
protect him from the hundreds, not to
say thousands of persons, who thronged
his pathway and followed him wherever
he went.
Just as Mr. Bryan was closing his
speech at Washington park, some one in
l lie far distance held up a silver dollar.
Mr. Bryan saw it and said:
"I notice a geiitlerr in over there hold
ing up a silver dollar and he evidently
wants to know something about silver.
I will ri nurd him that his desire to
j hear something about money and noth
! Ing' about hunan rights illustrates the
I sordid level upon watch the republican
! party Is lighting this campaign." (Pro-
I longed applause, and cries of “Bryan,
I Bryan, Bryan.")
•'Nobody who reads our platform needs
| to ask about the sliver question, but I
| want you to know that the republicans

I lar are not worrying today about the >5

ROOSEVELT' IS ASKED SOME HOT OPTIONS
Teddy Gets in Terrible Rage and Refused to Answer-He
Hurled the Lie at His Hearers and Called
Them Names--He Is at Home.
Kingston, N. Y„ October 22.—Governor I
Roosevelt finished the first day of his
flying campaign through tho state In
[ Kingston tonight, after traveling eighty-
I nine miles and making eight speeches,
i At Newburg, the home of the republican
i candidate for governor, he talked to a
I vast assemblage, having to speak In two
' places. Spectators Interrupted the speak
i er with questions, in every case receiving
j a reply.
At West Nyack, a man close to the
i car cried: “Hurrah for Bryan.” » nd Mr.
' Roosevelt replied: “Why don't you hur
-1 rah for Altgeld and Aguinaldo?’’
i Another cried: “What about the Ice
i trust?” and he answered: “Tids election
' i will be decided by the patriots and men
j of sense in the country who outnumber
I the junker shouters of your type. The
ice trust will be attended to in a proper
, legal manner.”
, ! A man at Newburg said In a low tone
, i of voice:
“Why did you call democrats cowards
. I and dishonest?"
Roosevelt heard him and said:
“It's a lie. I never said such a thing.
' It is *!• mocrats, good democrats, who
swell our majority.”
j The governor was interrupted a num-
I her of times by shouts of "what Is the
’ matter with Bryan?” and “Down with
■ trusts!"
Governor Roosevelt remarked:
. ' “That gentleman has nil the symptoms
t of a Bryanite,” which sally was greeted
I witli laughter and applause. Then, walk
! ing over to one side of the platform and
I speaking directly toward the point from
, , which the shouts arose, the governor
said: •
‘ ' "You look like one of those who work
exclusively with their mouths. What do
von mean to do with the cotton bale
I trust of Mr. Jones or the ice trust of Mr.
. j Croker?”
’ Tic- answer was shouted:
■ ' “Who: ts the matter with Bryan? He’s
all right.”
' ~„u is an argument of wind,” replied
PIIICE: FIVE CENTS.
* the governor. “You are afraid to hear
I th** truth; you Interrupt this meeting be-
■ cause you are a hoodlum and nothing
! else. Von represent the disorderly class
that Is naturaiiv against us. You repre
sent those people who not only object to
i prosj»erity. but don't get any of it be-
I cause you won’t work. Now go back to
your fellow hobos ami 1< arn after this
(more yelling and the man evidently
turned to depart i that you stand against
I the flag; y >u haven't got a particle of
patriotism in you. I am glad you are
I going away. I think you have learned
J enough hereafter not to monkey with
the buzzsaw. Now, gentlemen. In the
temporary absence of the local police I
1 have driven off that disturber of the
| meeting.” (Applause.)
| This city began Its reception to Gov-
I ernor Roosevelt by sending 700 people on
I a special train to New.burgh to meet Gov-
■ ernor Rosevelt’s party, and. If possible,
to induce the candidate for governor, Mr.
I Odell, to come to Kingston also. In this
latter mission they succeeded and Mr.
i Odell came on the train with the gov
j ernor.
| The governor spoke first at the Acad

I made necessary.
| Governor Roosevelt In his speeches de
' voted himself mainly to the same issues
| as those he spok- on in Newburgh and
’ Haverstraw. He took up some of Mr.
; Bryan's statements In the state, partlcu
i larly the one in which Mr. Bryan said
I that if elected to office he would crush out
■ every private monopoly, and said:
"Why, that would mean the crushing
i out ot every business and the doing away
; with a man’s revenue on a patent. Mr.
1 Bryan could not do such a thing, and he
I is dishonest when he says he would.”
' A man In the audience cried: “Three
j cheers for Bryan," but tho governor
■ smiled and said, "Why?” and the man
I subsided.
Hater somebody, asked, "What about the
: canals?”
• I did nut catch that,” said the gov

“H’s only a kid," said another man.
“Well, 1 have six of those,” said tho
governor, amidst a roar ot laughter.“and

I Outside of tho Young Men's Christian

I around which was a large concourse ot

ROOSEVELT S BROAD CLAIM
Decatur. Ala.. October 25—(Special.)—A
letter from General Joseph Wheeler to
day destroys some of Roosevelt s cam
paign thunder. General Wheeler wrote
to H. A. Skeggs. chairman of the eighth
district democratic committee, naming ap
pointments at Gurley, Madison county;
Hartsell. Morgan county: Col
bert county, and Huntsville, Madison
county, and will make speeches for the
democratic nominee for congress. Judge
William Richardson.
General Wheeler at the same time in
closed a handsome contribution to the
district campaign fund.
While the Wheeler letter did not say
so In so many words. Its Implied effect
was that Governor Roosevelt was badly
mistaken when he said that General
Wheeler, who wore the gray, stood with
the republican party. The friends of Gen
eral Wheeler here who have been some
what puzzled by Roosevelt’s language
feel greatly r<Ti* veil by the decided stand
thus taken by the general.
