THRONGS GREET HIM ON FIRE
WITH ENTHUSIASM.
BRYAN JOKES ABOUT GROWING BALD
Then Getting Down to Business he Declares
the Republican Party the Creator of
Trusts and Denounces Im
perialism.
Granville, Ohio, Oct. 19.—William
Jennings Bryan, Mrs. Bryan and the
newspaper men who accompanied the
party throughout Kentucky, crossed the
river from Covington last night aim!
twarded the special train provided for
the three days’ tour of Ohio. The train
was run to Dayton during the night,
where the private car of John R. Mc-
Lean was attached, amid at Greenville
Darke county, today, Mr. Bryan deliv
ered his first address in Ohio. There
was an immense crowd present. The
decorations were numerous and tasteful
and the enthusiasm pronounced.
The visiting party was escorted to the
court house square by a mounted laxly,
largely composed of the farmers of the
country. Dr. I* C. Anderson presided
ami introduced Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
and introduced Mr. John R. McLean,
the Democratic candidate for Governor.
Mr. McLean introduced Mr. Bryan as
the unchallenged leader of the Demo
cratic masses. Mr. Bryan to avoid the
crisp morning air, put on a skull cap,
which provoked good nature.! laughter,
in resypouse to which he said:
“My hair is not as match protection as
it used to be, and you ought not to com
plain if I am getting a little bald. In
181 W, they said 1 was too young to be
President. Then I had to depend upon
the constitution to protect me. Now I
can depend upon my baldness.
“The Chicago platform to which you
gave such loyal support in 1890, is still
the platform of the Democratic party
and the platform of the Ohio Demo
cracy again endorses that platform. I
believe the planks of that platform are
stronger today than when they were
written.”
Mr. Bryan then entered into an ela
borate defense of the income tax and
predicted a popular endorsement of the
proposition. He cited the efforts of the
decision of the Supreme court against
the income tax.
He said the money question was still
unsettled aud the fight would be con
tinued.
He treated the matter of trusts in
practically the same manner as charac
terized his Kentucky utterances.
He claimed the Republican party said
some trusts were bad and others good.
“Trusts are actually so bad,” said the
speaker, “that a Republican. Convention
,in this State, a convention run by Mark
Hanna, denounced them,
“Do you know the difference between
a good and a bad trust? A good trust
gives liberally to a Republican campaign
and a bad one does not. The Republican
party cannot destroy the trusts. When
the Attorney General of the United
States is asked to intervene there comes
the Biblical injunction ‘Remember thy
creator.’ The Republican party was
the creator of the trusts.”
Mr. Bryan denounced the increase of
the regular army as being called for by
the President two months before there
was any war or act of hostility, which
he construed as the basis for a change in
our national policy, a change from the
simplicity of a Republic to that of im
perialism.
“I dare the Republicans to defend the
title by purchase of 10,000,000 of men,
continued Mr. Bryan.
“They assert the right to Ik- in the
Philippines by purchase and that too,
after having paid a less price for hu
man l>eings than we pay for hogs,
“Let God choose between this defini
tion of the declaration of indeiKmdence,
and that which says all governments
derive their just powers from the con
sent of the governed.
Mr. Bryan said that when he first went
to Cincinnati, in March, 18U5, to advo
cate the cause of free silver, the first
and foremost man to lend him assistance
and sympathy was John It. McLean.
“Under his guidance,” continued Mr.
Bryan, “our party in this State polled
more votes prior to 189 b than we would
have done otherwise, and the only r»|-
son we did not carry the State in 18il»
was that there were more votes count®
than w r e or the law machinery
existed in the State.”
BRYAN’S SPEECH AT CELINA.
OeKna, 0., Oct. 19.—At Cel in a the
receptiont was extremely cordial. Mr.
Bryan said in part:
“This is one of the States in which tin
important campaign is being carried on
this fall and this election is not only
important because you choose your State
officers this year, but because the ver
dict at the I sills will be accepted as your
opinion upon the issues which an- now
la-fore the public. Some one has likened
Government to a corporation in which
every citizen is a stockholder, which
from turn- to time elects its, directors.
Taking that idea of Government the
stockholder* can select a new board of
directors when they choose aud the direc-
tors ought to (protect 'the interests of the
stockholders.
“The voter has a right to expect the
officer to observe flic conditions and
promises of the platform. The farmer is
careful in the selection of the hired hand
and ought to be in the selection of tin
public officer, but it is said he allows
himself to go to sleep and never awakens
until the affairs of the nation have run
up against a stone wall. I thunk the
time has came when no farmer can af
ford to lie a Republican. I believe the
farmer Who supports that party stand* in
his own light ami is doing himself am
(injustice. I believe the members of the
Republican party of an earlier date had a
great reverence for Abraham Lincoln,
Great changes within the party have
taken place since then. Abraham Lin
coln in 1859 wrote n letter in which he
demonstrated that he believed: in. the
man first and the dollar afterward. Since
those days the party has placed the dol
lar first and the man (afterward 1 and, if
you Republicans who reverence filename
of Lincoln want to dhange conditions
bring the party back to Lincoln’s stand
ard, you must employ an artist to draw
the difference ln-tween Mark Hanna and
Abraham Lincoln, employing the tolvog
gan slide as a (Applause.)
“With Abraham Lincoln the man came
first, with Mark Hanna nothing is gen
uine unless the dollar mark 5s blown in
the bottle. When tin- Republican pnrty
was organized i<t was wRh the idea that
political convictions were stronger than
party ties. The vicious dollar mark was
not a consideration then.”
Mr. Bryan then dismissed the income
tax and the greenback with tin- accom
panying right to issue money, claimiing
the Republican party planned to retire
tno greenbacks in favor of the national
banks, which had more influence than the
common people, recalling the fact, as
an evidence of inconsistency, that the
Republican national convention of 1888
denounced Cleveland for demonetizing
silver.
Regarding the trusts Mr. Bryan fol
lowed his previous line of argument,
saying that "when the Republicans tell
you some of the trusts are bad and
some good, tell them all look alike to you
until the Lord sends angels to take care
of them and he has not sent them
yet.” (Laughter). -
He made a passing reference to Gover
nor Roosevelt’s appearance in this State
in support of a larger standing army,
asked if it was for the purpose of sc
ouring the blessings of assimilation and
likened our Phi lip pine policy to tin* colo
nial policy of England in India, sug
gesting that the President of the United
States have the title of “President of
the United States and Emperor of the
Philippines,” Queen Victoria being rec
ognized as the “Queen of England and
the Empress of India.”
The increased empire meant an in
creased army and increased taxation
to support the theory of imperialism.
He challenged the Republicans to de
fend the policy of measuring human
life by the value of acquired territory.
He did not believe the American peo
ple would be willing that one human
being should Ik- sent to death in this
way and he did not believe if every
Filipino were killed tomorrow, that you
could get Americans to go there and at
tempt to exist under a tropical sun.
Ho denounced the preaching that
God had been the instrumentality of our
presence in the Philipplines and asked
“when God gets ready to speak to the
American people, he will find somebody
else than Mark Hanna as a mouth
piece.” Mr. Bryan did not believe we
could shoot or dynamite out civilization
into the Filipinos nor did he believe that
in the matter of territorial acquisition
we should sink to the low level of
European nations, affirming that we
should not trade the glory of a hundred
years as w Republic for the doubtful
glory of an empire.
“I am more interested in the princi
ples for which I stand than any mere
compliment you can piay me,” said Mr.
Bryan in conclusion, "I would rather
have a big majority for the candidates
this fall, because 1 want these candi
dates to win and I shall Im* happy if you
telegraph me that McLean has a larger
vote than I received in 189 b. (Ap
plause).
St. Mary’s had a good crowd present
to meet the special train. Mr. Bryan
discussed the silver issue at some length
and the matter of government by in
junction,
Hand-shaking and a few personal
greetings were indulged in at Rockford
and Ohio City.
END OF FIRST DAY IN OHIO.
Defiance. 0., Oct. 19.—The Bryan par
ty closed the first day of the Ohio tour
In this city tonight before a large and
interested audience in the opera house.
A street parade preceded the meeting.
Ex-Congressman W. D. Hill, provided.
Hon. John J. la-ntz, -w ho was speaking
when tire Bryan party entered, gave way
•to John R. Melx-an, the candidate for
Governor, 'Who briefly addressed the
meeting in introducing Mr. Bryan. Mr.
Bryan said in reference to the introduc
tion as the next President:
“I only have one ambition, shared by
every citizen, and that (is to leave this
Government to my children letter than
I found it. 1 want you to believe me
when 1 tell you that if the Victory won
oy the Republican's in 189(5 insures to
the good of the people, I shall rejoice
with every Republican. 1 exjK-et to be
here for many years. I say this for the
benefit, of those Republicans who heap
criticism, upon' me.”
Mr. Bryan then discussed silver. “They,
have lx,-!')! burying this question for
years,” lie declared, “and they are bury
ing it again. I but I don’t think they
bury it well. And why? Because no
tomb is strong enough to hold a righte
ous cause. (Applause.) They would
rather bury the question than discuss it.
I know these Republicans. I know how
can-ful they are of public money. I
know when they appropriated SIOO,OOO
to defray the exjK-nses of the monetary
eoinfereueo in Eur<ipe to get rid of the
gold standard, it must b<y'n bad thing.
He concluded by debouncing the Ad
ministration’s Philippine policy.
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20. 18911.
SHAMROCK MAY
BLESS THE WIND
It Fell, Saving Her From a
Stinging Defeat,
COLUMBIA MILES AHEAD
LED BY THREE WHEN RACE
WAS CALLED OFF.
THE SHAMROCK WAS BADLV HANDLED
Not Gotten Over Line Before Handicap Gun
Was Fired. Additional Ballast Put in
to Her a Blunder on Her
Manager’s Part.
New York, October 19.—Had tae wind
held today, the Columbia-Sh imr >ck sc
ries for America’s cup would nave emit.l
in three straight wins for the dvTnder
and the Irish cup-hunter would have
sailed home without the trophy, beaten
as decisively as any former ean<i>Tates.
Only the failure of the wind saved the
Shamrock from a defeat more stinging
than on Monday. Today she was bea
ten on the run to the outer mark five
minutes and fifty-one seconds, elapsed
time, and on tin- leg home, which should
have In-eu a beat, but which owing to
a shift of the wind, was a broad reach.
Columbia sailed away from her like a
witch. When tin- race was declared
off, about feu minutes before the expira
tion of the time limit, Columbia was
leading by about three miles. Bhe was
then four miles from the finish.
Had the race ended Shamrock would
have been beaten by at least twenty
minutes, f
Sir Thomas’ hard luck continued to
follow. His boat was very badly hau
dled today in spite of the aggregation
of talent aboard of her. The two Eng
lish Captains and the Captain of Empe
ror Williamse’ yacht Meteor failed to get
Shamrock over the lino Is-fore tire baud'
cap gun was fired and she went into
the race penalized by two seconds on
that account. The additional IkiHast
which was put into her yesterday also
seemed to have been a blunder on the
part of her managers. What Shamroc k
may bo able to do in rough weather and
a reefing wind is still problematical, but
the experts are almost unanimous in the
belief that tin- Columbia can take her
measure in light airs or a gale of wind.
The crew of the* Shamrock arc- now
convinced that we have the better boat.
Before tin* race on Monday they had
the most supreme confidence in their
ability to win with Shamrock.
“There was no living with them,”
said one of the Yankee tars on the
Shamrock’s tender Lawrence. "’They
didn’t think their boat would win; they
absolutely knew it; they wouldn’t even
hear arguments. After they returned
from the race Monday they were so
sore- that they wouldn’t speak to each
other. Now they are frank enough to
admit that tin- Columbia is the better
boat by ten minutes over a thirty mile
course.”
Tin- yachts will race again tomorrow
and even if Columbia wins there is a
possibility that two more races will Im
sailed. A suggestion to this effect has
been made and Sir Thomas appears
anxious that it should be carried out. He
has been greatly disappointed in the
showing his boat has made, but be
lieves she might do better over a tri
angular course in a heavier wind, and
has said that In- would be very pleased
to sail two more races.
This was a radiant day lor those
afloat and a big holiday crowd went out
to witness wlwit all supposed would be
the last race of the cup series.
The course today was laid 15 miles
before the wind, southeast by south,
straight out to sea. After some pretty
maitoeuvering behind the line, Captain
Barr, on the Columbia, bested the talent
aboard the challenger, sending the Co
lumbia flying across the line 27 seconds
ahead of his adversary. So badly had
the Shamrock miscalculated that the
handicap gun boomed two seconds before
the green boat crossed, and she sailed
away with that penalty in addition to
the sixteen seconds she allows tin
white wonder under the new measure
ment. Tin- race to tin- outer mark
was not exciting. Both yachts crossed
with bulging balloons, mainsails and
their largest club topsails drawing. But
as the wind had pulled a little to south
ward after the course had been set in
stead of keeping away for the mark they
made almost a triangular race of it.
The Columbia showed her rival a fleet
pair of heels, gaining gradually from
tin- start. For almost an hour the luff
ing match continued, carrying tin
yachts four miles off their course. The
Shamrock having been badly beaten in
her attempt to get to windward, both
squared away for the mark, breaking
out their big spinnakers to the wind.
The breeze gradually died down to about
five knots or less aud the race was de
generating into a drifting match as tin
big yachts approached tin- mark. The
challenger was directly astern of the
Columbia, trying with her mountains of
canvas to blanket tin* towering sails of
the Yankee. But Columbia was a
wizard. Somehow she managed to get
w ind enough from somewhere to keep
her slipping through the water, and in
vain Shamrock strained to overtake her.
TJie yachts were half an hour covering
the last, half mile. Slowly Columbia
wore* around the mark and filled away.
Passing Shamrock, still outward bound,
close aboard on her weather, she rob
bed her of the light breeze and left
In-r with drooping wings utterly be
calmed for a full minute.
A brass throated chorus had greeted
the Columbia as she turned and it was
repeated with added vigor when Sham
rock went around six minutes and eight
een seconds later. The Columbia had
gained five minutes and fifty-one seconds
in the fifteen miles to leeward. About
three and a half hours had been con
sumed and there appeared! no chance
for either yacht to get home, but as the
breeze continued to haul to the south
ward it made a fair wind for the re
turn journey, and as it freshened to ten
knots soon afterward, a faint hope of fin
ishiij^rwithin the time limit arose
The Yankee sailed away from her
rival like a ghost ship, leaving her far
astern, increasing the distance between
tlx in so rapidly that when the race was
declared off at 4:1!) she was leading by
three miles.

McKinley Returns tD Washington.
Washington, October 19. —President
McKinley and party reached Wash
ington at 12:25, nearly an hour behind
schedule owing to delay on the grade
in the Baltimore tunnel.
The party consisted of President and
Mrs. McKinley, Secretary Long, Secre
tary and Mrs. Hitchcock and Attorney
General Griggs, Assistant Secretary
Oortelyou and Mr. Finney, private sec
retary to the Secretary of the Navy,
members of the press and the White
House attendants. All but the three
Cabinet officers mentioned had left the
party at various points on the road.
The train was met at the station by
Secretary Root, Adjutant General Cor
bin. District Marshal Palmer and John
Addison Porter, secretary ts the Presi
dent.
Some anxiety was caused at first by
the announcement that the train was
delayed three quarters of an hour niltr
Baltimore, but it was afterward learned
that the only trouble lay in the combi
nation of a sharp curve, heavy grade
and wet rails in tin- tunnel, which ne
cessitated backing out to get another
engine.
Mrs. McKinley was looking stronger
than on her return from her last trip
West and it was agreed by the mem
bers of the party that she had improved
in health on the journey.

The •penitentiary directors yesterday
completed their work and adjourned to
meet again in January.
l'lie meeting yesterday lasted from 9 to
1 o’clock. And it was “public,” they said
when they came back to the city, but
there was nobody there to take advan
tage of the publicity. The newspaper
men had not been notified that wtar cham
ber proceedings were to tie disjx nisnsi
with, they did not care to again intrude.
Os course the principal business of
tin* day was a division of the spoils that
Bill Day had surrendered to the beard
as a peace offering for Lewis Bramnert*M.
This had Ix-eri decided in caucus the
night before and was as follows:
J. M. Wall to succeed R. I\ Reinhardt,
removed, as supervisor of the Anson
farm.
Clay Abernathy to succeed J. H. Mr-
Iver, removed, as supervisor of Caledonia
farm No. 1.

the shirt factory. This is the fplaee
formcrly held by Mott.
F. G. Davidson to succeed Capt. John
Smith, removed, as manager of the brick
yard.
J. E. Clayton to succeed Turner, re
signed, as kitchen steward.
Oscar Branson to succeed Simpson,
removed, as mail carrier.
J. R. Cllllom to sue eel Capt. Price,
removed, as gate keeper.
A. E. Wadford, who was recently
dropped from the pay-roll was put back
on and sent to Northampton farm-.
Resolutions were passed as follows by
the boards
That the convict quarters on all the
farms shall Ik- made can on table.
That good shoes shall be provided for
the convicts.
Thfit all sales o) piodncts from the
farms shall be for cash and all outstand
ing bills at once collected.
That the Caledonia farms (Nos. 1 and
2) shall be connected by telephone.
That 125 convicts shall be sent to An
son farm on January Ist, and all the
cleared land on this farm cultivated.
That the raising of hogs on shares at
Tillery farm’ be discontinued.
That alt the farms except those owned
by the State Ik- discontinued.
That there shall be no further culti
vation of the Tillery farm on shares —
the executive board is directed to either
rent the farm entirely for the State or
dis]wise of its two years lease on it.
That the penitentiary management
shall get rid of the hounds it now owns
and buy four blood" hounds for the caijv
turc of escaped convicts.
An order also was miade requesting
Superintendent. Day not to retain Capt.
Tillery as manager of farms.
The executive board was directed to
{'investigate the question of putting wind
mills on the Caledonia farms.
The board" inspected the cells and prem
ises at the OntraL Prison and reported
them tin good cowrit ion.
A claim of $25 for a blood hound lost
in, pursuing a prisoner was allowed War
den T. B. Russell.
Superintendent Day was instructed in
case of vacancies in the position of su
pervisor of farms to appoint Alf Saund
ers, of Johnston county, and M. R. Sprin
gle, of Beaufort.
SUMMERELL GETS HIS OHDERS.
In Future he Will be Under the Entire
Management of Capt. Tillery.
Wednesday while Lewis Summerell
was sitting out on tin- steps of the ad
ministration building at the penitentiary,
waiting for the decision of the board
in his case, the following letter was
handed him:
“Superintendent’s Office State Prison,
Raleigh. N. C„ Oct. 18. 1890.
“E. L. Summerell, Supervisor North
a nipt on Farm:
“You ' in future obey without
question any orders that may lx? given
you by Captain ,1. It. Tillery. Your
failure to do so will be cause for your
removal.
“W. 11. DAY,
“Superintendent.”
This is interesting for the reason that
the board at its meeting in April re
fused to accept Mr. Tillery’s services in
any capacity-even free of cost to the
State; and also it is interesting when
considered in connection with the Bill-
Day-Hurmony resolution passed Wed-

O £ .2NCE OF “NO FRICTION.”
v.
-ay’s Farm Manager Says Di-
ir Cotten’s Report is not True.
A ; in this same connection, tin* re
pv.. r of Director Cot ten, who visited
the Roanoke farms, furnishes another
charming evidence of the absence of
friction. This report was printed in this
paper Wednesday morning.
The report, however, Captain Tillery
says, does him an injustice and is abso
lutely untrue in many particulars. 110
therefore asked the News and Observer
to priyt for him the following state
ment:
“As to the fine road which Mr. Gotten
says has been built through my farm,
1 had nothing whatever to do with it. I
s]>eiit the summer at Waynesvillo White
Sulphur Springs and tin* order to build
the road was made by Captain Day in
my absence. It was made to afford a
good road to carry cotton to market,
for the benefit of the State farm aud
not for my benefit.
‘The road was built after the crops
were laid by and no farm work was
going on. The gin house is on the side
of this road, which is a public one, and
there is no other way to get the pro
duce of the farm to the station except
over this road. Os this the supervisor,
at (xld time* after all the farm work
had been finished, ami under Captain
Day’s direction, made a good road.
"As to my objection, to the cutting of
telephone poles on the Tillery farm I
have never objected to it, and no charge
was ever made or thought of being
made for tin- poles used. The telphone
line was intended to connect all the
farms Car tin- benefit of the State.
“Mr. Cotten says I strung my wire
on the State pole*. The fact is that
no wire has ever been put up.
“While there is nothing said in the
contract about raising hogs on shares, to
which lie objects, the Tillerys furnished,
about 150 stock hogs to start with, free
of all cost to the State, giving the
State one-half of not only the increase,
but of the stock hogs also. It was
deemed by SuijM-riuteiJdent Mewlnorne
that this would not Ik- an unfair ar
rangement for the State, ns the pasture
belongs to the Tillerys and one-half the
pickings of tin- field.”
Mr. Tillery says he cannot imagine
from what source Mr. Cotten received
his information in regard to the tele
phone jMiles and would like to know his
informant.
And thus do tin* evidences of an entire
lack of friction between the board and
the prison management multiply.

AN EPIDEMIC OF DRUNKENNESS.
Firty-Sixth Regiment on a High Old
Bender En Route.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 19.—The Forty
sixth regiment of volunteers en route
from Massachusetts to Manila,, was de
layed here by enforced drumhead court
martial on account of an epidemic of
drunkenness. The first section arrived
yesterday over the OliesajK-ake and
Ohio and held high carnival. They had
whiskey secreted on the train. Colonel
llegler immediately called a drumhead
court martial which sent thirty of the
worst offenders to the Columbus bar
racks.
