5,000 beirg prcsont, but as tho hour
approached for tho advent of Mr. Bryan
at 4 o'olo"k the aisles were filled and
tho hall throngod to a degroo of almost
suffocation. After Adlai K Stevenson

Mr Sovrre'gn was followed by Bishop
.1 Milton 'I urncr, minister to Liberia
nndor Grant's administration, who
spoke briefly and in part as follows:
"A groat many of my raco who
formed the majority of the negro population
in the United States 2.") years ago
have already boen promoted and havo
gono to their good Christian fathers,
but the hoys aro coming forth in looming
hundreds and thousands from that
palladium and safeguard of American
institutions, the public sohool system
of our country, and unliko UdoIo Tom
and Aunt Sally, they aro doiug their
own thinking liko other young Ameri
cunH for llicinsolves.
"We ooino with a fresh born, disinterested
patriotism to put forth our
might at this time in the Statos of Indiana,
Ohio, Illinois, New York and
New Jersey and othor States where we
havo been making the presidents for
the last 23 or 30 years, and we think
this time, through our votes, we will bo
ahlo to make up such a quota for the
rleotion of Win. Jounings Bryan that
wo will elect this ticke t without any
possibility of MoKinloy defeating it."
hryan had to check the cheeiiin'o.
As Bishop Turner concluded Mr.
Bryan appoared upon the platform^ lie
had reached tho city a few minutes hcforo
3 o'clock, hut did not arrive at the
hall until a quarter past 4 o'clock. Ho
was escorted through the streets by a
number of marohingclubs. As soon as
tho Democratic national candidate ap
pearrd on tho platform there was a
shout of greeting, and this noon developed
into a demonstration which continued
for about six minutes, until
there was a call for coi-sation by Mr.
Bryan himself. Tbo speech was liberally
applauded throughout, and when it
was concluded there was a rush to the
stage on the part of those iu the audi
enco who wished to shake hands with
hici. He, howover, avoided this dt inonstration,
and soon found his way baok
to his hotel.
Mr. Bryan said:
Til K WORK FOR THE CLUUH
"1 apprcoiuto tho woik done and boing
done aud to bo doue by this association
of Democratic olubs, and I approoiato
the energy, tho enthusiasm and
the ability displayed by Mr. Iloarst,
the president of this association. I bclievo
in these olubs. Tho work of Democracy,
being a work for tho people,
must bo dono by tho people. Wo nocd
tbo olubs to help us oolleot money to
carry on our campaign. Tho Republican
party oau get its money from tbo
corporations, which plunder tho pooplo
bctwocn campaigns in return for tho
money contributed during oampaigns.
"Wo oannot go to a trust and apk it
to help in, because wo do not expect to
bo helped. The Republican party docs
Dot oolleot monoy for its national oampaign
from one Republican out of 100,
and when tho oleotion is over 00 out of
100 ltepublioans have nothing to fay
about tho running of tho government.
"Wo cxpeot that the administration
will be conducted in behalf of tho great
mass of tho Aworioan people, and wo
havo tho right to call upon them to
help with their money as woll as their
votes to win this fight, whioh is their
fight, and not our fight. Wo need tho

and work for his conversion, tho,members
of theso olubs will be astonished
to find how muoh can bo dono. We
need tbo olubs to poll the votes, for
we must do by voluntary effort what
the Republicans can afford to pay for
having done.
RKPU HLICAN8 DO DO I NO.
"The Republioan party is not propared
to meet the issues of this campaign.
The Republican party is today
dodging, running from nearly evory
issuo in tho campaign. When they
started out thoy said tho money question
was tho quostion of paramount im
porianoo. nut, my mends, thoy found
that whon a man says that a question
of money is moic important than a
question of government he at onoo
arousos suspioion, and peoplo begin to
wonder whethor he thinks a dollar is
jnore important than a man. Think of
trying to make the money question
paramount in this oampaign! W hy, my
friends, when the money question was
paramount?in 1896?wo found the Ropublicans
trying to mako out that the
tariff was the paramount issue. They
said, 'Lot us open the mills instead of
the mints,' and the first thing they did
when they got into power was, not to
A .
?
reform tho currency but to reform the
turitf, and givo the men who ooutrib
utod a oliancc to run thoir hands deeper
into tho pookota of tho pcoplo.
"Now, when tho questions of tho human
raco and human liberty uro at
utalrn t li n I? ainiKltouno oa*?
ij v ? v , iiiu nopuunv^uo nmj i unv \%\%j
money question is tho paramount issuo.
They wore afraid in 189(5 that wo were
going to havo a 50 cent dollar. Now
they havo given us an 85 oont oitizon
in Puerto Rioo, and they daro not toll
us what per oent. of citizenship the
Filipino is to havo. In 189(5 they said
wo could not have a double standard of
money. Now they think wo can have
a double standard of government- -a ropublio
here and a despotism in the
Philippine Islands. They said in 181M1
that wo oould not maintaiu a parity
between a whito uiotal and a yellow.
11?>w oan they maintain a parity bo
tween a whito citizen and a yellow sub
ject in tlio Philippino Islands? Thev
rind that it is too sordid a doctrine to
say that the ?t*ndard of money you
have is more important than the form
of government under which you live.
WHO RUN 'I'dK ICR TRUST.
"And yet, mv frionds, whilo they
cannot now boast of tho suprouiaoy ol
tlio money question, thoy aro not prepared
to moot the other issues. Mr
Uauna says thero are no trusts. That
settles that question lio ought to ask
his wifo. Kvcry wife knows thero arc
trusts. Tho only truHt that any Ho
publican in this country seems to know
about is tho ioo trust, and tho Republicans
don't know muoh about that, for
if thoy did they would know that every
stockholder is a Republican If they
knew more about tho ioe trust they
would know that its harm was oonfined
to the pcoplo of Now York, aud if
they knew that thoy had a governor of
tho Stato of Now York, a man who
would not let any harm oomc to his
peoplo, they would know that thero
would bo no iee trust there or tho governor
would kill it
1 New York has a Republican govornnr
unit n Itiinn Mi/....! Ii.ro ?.wl
you Republicans who havo boon worrying
ho much about the ioo truwt can
oaso your minds, for as long as tho governor
is out woHt making speeohos, you
may bo sure nobody is being hurt in
New York. Why is it that no Ropub
lican knows anything about tho Standard
Oil trust, or tho sugar trust, or tho
salt trust, or tho trust of crackers, or
tho trust of window glass, or tho envelope
trust, or tho writing papor trust,
or tho trust in paper that Republican
editors uso to writo a defenso of the
trusts upon. Why don't thoy know
about these trusts? Is it dishonesty or
is it ignoranoc? Why is it that no Kopublioan
speakors ooino out against any
trust except sho ico trust, and why is
it that tho Kopublioans in charf.o did
not destroy that, so you can boliovc
Mr. If anna when ho says thoro aro no
trusts?
akriiil) of tiie issue.
"Tho Republican party is not propared
to dofond itsolf on tho trust
question, thoreforo they try to got it
out of the campaign. Tho Hopublioan
party is not proparod to dofond itself
on the army question. Thoy say thore
is no question of militarism and yet an
army four times as groat as tho standing
army of 1890 is demanded by tho
president's mossago of Deoomber, 1898
How much do wo spend for education
in tho llnitod States? Loss than $200,000
000. How much do the Ropublioans
want-to spend on a military establishment?
Ono hundred million dollars a
year. Thoy want to spond more than
half as muoh for a military establish
mont an wo Bpond Tor tho education of
all tho children in tho United States.
Is that not a stop towards militarism?
What reason can thoy give for it? They
can give only ono. Tliat is the one thoy
do not givo. Thero aro two reasons
which lead men in this country to want
a largo standing army? Ono is a domestic
one; tho othor isconnootod with
our foroign affairs. What domostio
reason is there for a largo army? To
protect us from tho Indians? No; the
less Indians wo havo tho moro army
tho Kopublioan party want. That is
not tho oauao. Why do they want it?
So that thoy can build a fort near every
largo oity and uso tho army to suppross
by force tho disoontont that ought to
bo cured by remedial legislation.
WHY THEY WISH A BIO ARMY.
"Tho laboring man asks for arbitration
and gots a largo army; ho asks
protcotion from tho black list and his
answer is a large army; ho asks for
shorter hours of labor in order that he
may have moro timo with his family
and for tho development of his mind,
and his answer is a large army. Ho
asks for roprosontation in the prcsi
dent's oabinot in order that labor may
bo protected, and his answer is a large
army. That is the domestic reason
whioh is not given and yet it is a reason
ontertainod by many. What is the
roason thoy give? Thoy say wo nood it
for our foroign polioy but, my friends,
thoy asked for tho army before the
Amerioan pooplo had ovor dooided upon
a forcigh polioy that made a large army
neoossar^.
"In Dooomber of 1898 whon the presi
dent asked for his army the treaty had
not been signed, but its terms were understood.
Whon tho Republicans congress
voted to raise tho army to 100,000
tho troaty had been signed and no arm
was raisod against this nation anywhero
in tho world. But the Amorioan
people had nover voted for a oolonial
polioy; up to this time the Amerioan
peoplo have never voted for a oolonial
ponoy, ana yet tbo ltepublioan party is
pledgos to a largo army. What dooa it
want with, it? It intends to oxploit the
Philippine islands and if you want to
understand the roasons for a large
army, read tho prospectus issued by the
Philippines Lumber and Dovolopment
company. You will find that at the
head of tho oompany as president
stands a republican member of oong.oss

What do you waut an army for? Tc
hold tho Philippines whilo they aro being
developed by syndicates headed by
i Republican politicians?
THOSE FOOLISH I'llAlUIKS.
i "Tho American pooplo have not yet
' decided in favor of imperialism. The
Republicans refuse to moot it. Ynu dc
I not hoar defenses of imperialism from
i thoso authorized to Bpcak. You find
[ that now tho Republicans ato trying tc
' hide bohind tirst one subtorfugo aud
i then another. They say now that the
reason we are in tho Philippines, the
i reason our boys arc dying, tho reason a
! largo army is necessary, the roason we
1 cannot come homo is because 1 helped
to ratify tho troaty.
"My friends, 1 want you to go back a
few momcn'sand you will fiud that the
Ropublioan party said we were in the
i Philippine islands because of the act of
i God, and it Is a groat come down from
i God to inc. If it is tho hand of God
that takes us to the Philippine islands,
why do the Ropuhlioaus want to lay it
on to a Democrat? If it is well to bo
. there, if it is a \ art of tho diviuo mis
sion, why don't thoy defend their being
there? Thoy claim to he silont partners
with tho Almighty, but tho troublo is
that they make all tho ifio and thus
far tho Almighty has boon the silont
partner. Now they say tho war would
stop if it wore not for tho Democratic
party. Thoy say that tho Ktlipinoj
would lay down their arms but for the
hopo they havo that 1 may bo olootod
Whom vera Itopuhliean tells you thai
you tell him that the colonists fought
the samo battle that the Filipinos are
, fighting aud th< y did it nearly 1U0 years
, before 1 was born.
"Tell them that the Filipinos issued
a declaration of indopoodoneo patterned
after ours beforo tho <|UOHtion of imperialism
over entered into American politics.
Thoy do mo too much honor when
thoy say that 1 am responsible for the
Filipinos' hatred of foreign domination
If thoy have not forgotten tho teach
inga of Abraham Linool 1 tiny would
know that ho said it was not a party
but God himself who planted in the
human hoart tho lovo of liberty which
no Kepublioau par'.y can take away.
So that tho Filipinos would not fight
but for tho hopo Democratic suoooss.
'"Until human uaturo is entirely
ohangod pooplo held in bondage will
rise against it whonovor there is a
prospoot of sueeoss. God novor mado a
raoo that would woloomo a foreign
master and 1,000 yoars from now, no
matter what party is in powor, the
Filipinos will hate us and stand roady
to riso against us if wo attompt to hold
thorn in va9salago and tax them with
1 out thoir consent.
DESTRUCTIVE DOCTRINES.
1 ''Republicans, what wo objoot to is
that in order to defend your imporial
polioy you havo to lay down doctrines
which, if oarried out, will destroy tho
right of tho American people to partio
ipato in thoir own govornmont. That
is our objection to your polioy. If you
aro simply going to kill tho Filipinos
off and oome homo wo uii^ht got over
tho crimo. Rut that is not your policy.
You dare not kill them off boeauso you
t want to trade with thcrn You would
dostroy your trado argument if you kill
them. You oannot trado with dead
pcoplo.
"You want them for subjeots, but
you Hhall not have thorn for subjects if
wo oan prevent it. You cannot mako
subjootR out of thorn without changing
our idoas of govoruiuont. You can't
1 hold them in porpetual servitudo without

ALL IS QUIET.
Some Ringleaders Arretted, Others
Have Fled.
A dispatch from Georgetown nays,
Main street Tuesday morning presented
a scene which would do credit to Ma- :
nila. Soldiers marched, drums wore
boating and the whole town apparently
was under military rule, hut such was
not 'he ease. Mayor Morgan and tho
oounoiluien, to whom were addod ho.v
oral prominent citizens, constituting an
advisory board, were in Hession and have j
been tlir-oussing what wan best to do in
the promises. About noon it wan given
cut that twenty warrants had been issued
f >r the arrest of ringloadorH in the
disturbance of Sunday night, and tho?i?
were served Tuesday afternoon. NVulter
Donison, a negro barber, is eon'idered
the ringleader, and is being held
responsible, in a largo incaHure, for tbo
excitement Sunday night.
While it is not gonerally admitted
by Miino it in bolievod that by the
thoughtlcHH remarks of a few hot heads
Sin day afternoon the negroes believed
that John UrownAcId would bo taken
from the jail by tho whites Sunday
night and lynched, and that the ringing
nt i ho fire alarm would ho tho signal.
A* tho first sound of the boll, tborefore,
there was a hue and ory raised,
especially by tho negro wouion, ana
there waH a general rush to the jail,
each bearing some kind of weapon,
frotu a rioc reaphook to arillo, and in a
fow minutes 1,500 negroes were around
tho jail and in the streets ad joining, j
The whites nt first did not understand
the moaning of this outpour and some
of tho prominont citizens, including'
Mayor W. 1). Morgan, Col. 8 park man,
Sheriff Skinner and othors wontamongst
the mob and told them that no one wan
going to lynch .John Drowntiold. Hero
the rice lield virago, tlie length of whose
vindiotivo toDguo has never yet been
ascertained, got in hor vilest work.
"Don't go homo, mens, like dc
buokra men toll you; Htay hern and save
John. Hu'n do daui town down to
ashes. Yunnu kill all do buokra men,
an' we will 'tond to do buokra 'ooinan
and ohillun. Do buokra want to run
over us, but wo will show dcm."
Theso and other remarks followed in
rapid succession, and the oonsc<|ucnoo
was that pandemonium reigned supremo.
The Georgetown Rifles were
summoned and remained in their armory
all night awaiting orders. Mayor
Morgan understands the negro well
As far aH he is concerned, ho was unwilling
to oall on tho govornor for
troops, but yiolded to tho judgment of
others whom ho called into consultation.
As soon as it was learned that tho
troops woro ooming tho leaders among
tho negroes advised them to go to their
homos and stay thoro, whioh thoy have
done. It seems as if this negro, John
Brownfiold, was a loador in tho sooioty
of ooondom as well as a member of tho
Odd Follows and other organizations.
It was bcliovod that a largo stook of
arms was stored in a oortain hall in
town, and a oommitteo was sent
to soizo them, but it provod to bo falso.
Not moro than sixteen arrosts woro
made this aftornoon on tho twenty war
rants issued this morning on tho ohargo
of riotous oonduot, carrying arms and
using menacing languago to tho terror
of tho pooplo. Home of tho prinoipal
ringleaders have escaped, including
Walter Donison. As predicted, thoso
arrests woro mado without resistance,
and a few of tho oasos were heard this
aftornoon, a conviotion resulting in
ovcry oaso. Throo are in jail under
sentonoo of JO days or $100. Ono
woman paid her lino of (IK.
Killed in a Wreck
A serious and fatal wreck occurred
on tlio IMant System road near Bonbow
minoH, several miles from Charleston,
Wednesday night. Tho cngino and
soveral froight oars jumped tho track
and tumbled down an embankment,
killing Knginccr Gooding, a young
whito man, and Firoman Harvey
Thompson and Brakoman Ben Whito,
oolorod. When tho oars and engine
went down tho long embankmont tho
oars caught on fire, and tho surviving
members of tho orcw fought the tiro to
provont tho bodies of the dead from
boing burned to a orisp. Tho oauso of
tho wrook is not known. Tho railroad
oilioials refuse positively to mako a
statement. Tho conduct of tho railroad
oilioials oannot bo explained, unloss it
bo that thoy aro anxious to oovor up
somothing that ought to bo oxposod.
Coroner Dutfus was holding tho inquest
Thursday aftornoon and Friday. The
examination was a most thorough ono,
and tho blamo will bo fixed whoro it lion.

PEKIN HORRORS.
They Are Roviewed by a Returned
Missionary.
WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY.
Th? Rafugaos Arriving in 8an
Francisco Tell of Great
Hardships Fxperienc
ed In China.
Kcv. (J. H. Konn, a returned missionary
from I'ekiu, telle of tho first receipt
during tho siego, of direct dcwh by
Minister Congor from scorotary of
Slate Hay. Ho said:
"On July If) wo received a mossago
that said:
" 'Communicate tidings bearer.'
"Thoro was no date and nosignaturo.
This Conger sent to tho Tsung Li Yamcn
with the request that it bo plain.
Ho rcooivod in reply a copy of Ministor
Wu's dispatch which stated that tho
United States government deuiandod
word from Minister Conger in oiphor.
Tho message made our hearts jump
with j iy. Congor sent his roply at
once.
"Tho night boforo roliof arrivod wo
hoard tho rattlo from Chinoso guns
in tho distance and it was sweet music.
Kvorybody not up?it was about 1
o'clock?tho womon made coffoo and
thcro was no uioro sleeping that
night. The next day an tho AmorioaoH
chiiio in I went down and rthook hands
with each man as he came through tho
wator gato."
Cooilo K. l'ayno, who wont to l'ckin
last Hpring as tho gucntrt of Minister and
Mrs. Conger, wart a passongor on tho
steamor Coptic. She told a graphic
rttory of tho siego on her arrival hero.
"Of tho wholo oight weeks of torriblo
anxiety and dread." she said,
"throo nights stand out with special
protninonoo. Tlioy aro spoken of by
tho bosiegod as 'the thrco nights.' Tho
first was just boforo tho siogo?about
.Juno 17 or 18. That was whilo wo
wero in tho American lcgition. Wo
wont into tho llritish logation compound
on Juno 20. Tho night 1 speak
of was ono the foroignors will nover
forgot. All night long went up terriblo
orics?bowls and shouts of thousands
upon thousands of Chinese orying
for tho blood of tho foroignors. Tho
second torriblo night was about tho middlo
of tho siego whon after thioo or
four days of mug^y and sultry woathor
ono of tho most violont thoundorstorms
1 ovor oxporienood broko ovor tho oity.
Kverybody had prcdiotod that with tho
coming of rain tho Chinese would ooaso
firing, but tho effoot was just tho opposite.
It was a night of hollowing thunder,
roaring artillery, incessant lightning
and pouring rain.'
"Tho third and last night of horrors
was that of August 13th, tho day boforo
tho rtiior oatuo. <?n that night tho
Chinese woro fairly frantic to break
in and kill us. Tho tiring that had boforo
seemed furious was tamo oomparod
with the hail of Hhot and shell that
poured in upen us that night, ltoauio
from all quarters, and soomod to bo
from every imaginable kind of tiroarm.
Wo had roooived reports of tho appreach
of tho relief column, and know
that it must bo near from tho furious
atttompts of tho Chinoso to slay us.
Wo oxpootcd that any moment might bo
our last, as many breaches woro mado
by sholls, and a determined assault at
any ono plaoo would havo opened tho
way for tho hordes outsido."
