the money, question was the question ofparamount importance. <- But, mv friends,they found that when a man says that aquestion of money is more importantthan a question of government, he atonces arouses suspicion and people beginto .wonder whether he thinks a dollar Is1 more '- important' than a" man. Think oftrying to make the money question para-mount in ..this campaign! •. Why, :myfriends," when the money 'question wasparamount in ISS6, we found the Repub-

licans trying to make out that the tariffwas .the paramount issue. They.said letus open the mills-instead of the mints,and the first thing 7 they did when theygot into power was, not to \u25a0 reform thecurrency, hut to reform the tariff andgive the men who contributed a chanceto' run their hands deeper into the pock-ets of the people: . ... »"Now when the question of human raceand human liberty _re at stake- the Re-publicans say that the money question isthe paramount issue. They were afraidin 1i.96 that we were to have a 50-centdollar. Now they have given us an 85per cent citizen ih Porto Rico, and theydon't dare tell us what per cent of citi-zenship the Filipino is to have..-. '-. QUOTED M'KINLEY. f_ Let me remind you what was said by

Mr. McKinley himself in regard to thisnation's position, and in relation to theprinciple set forth in the Declaration ofIndependence. We have insisted, as allhave insisted,/who have: defended thedeclaration, that. it: was . not written fora day, nor for a year, nor for a century.We have contended that It was writtenfor all time and all peoples, and that nonation would ever be so great that itcould not rest securely on ; that Declara-tion of Independence. We are not alonein this idea. Until the poison of impe-rialism.* entered the minds of Republicansthey agreed with us in this doctrine asyou will see from a Fourth of July speechmade by the president himself in Chicagofive years ago last July. Speaking of theauthors and signers of the Declaration ofIndependence and the constitution, hesaid: "They built for themselves, , butfor posterity. Their plans stretchedout into the future, compassing the agesand embracing mankind. Not alone forthe present were their sacrifices andtheir struggles, but for all time thereaf-ter; not for American colonists only,- butfor the whole human race wherever manand woman are struggling for higher andfreerer and better conditions. It was theyearning of the soul for emancipation. Itwas the cry of humanity for freedom-freedom to think, speak and act withinthe limitations of. just and proper laws,which should be of their own making. Ifit should prove ineffectual all was lostand tyranny and oppression- would be per-petual. It was the mighty struggle ofthe ages for the freedom of man for theequal opportunity of all mankind." *•There were no limitations on that con-stitution, r yfejre were no limitations on.hat Declaration of Independence. - Itwas not intended for the people whostruggled then; it was for them and theirchildren s children to the remotest ages.It was not for the 7 Anglo-Saxon then,it was for all mankind. It was themighty struggle of all creation. Andthen he added: "All men have equalrights . guaranteed by our constitutionand laws, and that equality must be for-ever preserved and strengthened and ev-erywhere recdgnized. We are all Ameri-cans; we are all sovereigns, equal in theballot and that citizen is the best whodoes his best, who follows the -light asGod gives him to see the light, who con-cedes to. all the races of mankind 7* thatth^'r&c8 £or him self. , rigidly respectsthe rights of ours is ever willing andheart

1 •r.d the hall thronged to a degree of al- |

As Bishop Turner concluded Mr. Bryanspeared upon the, platform. His arrival

served to instill into the meeting a de-gree of enthusiasm which had not mark-ed the proceedings of the convention. He

•— reached the city a few minutes before 3o'clock, but did. not arrive at the halluntil a quarter past 4 o'clock. He wasescorted through the streets by a number

)»f'marching clubs, and he was welcomed

it every turn by throngs of people. • A3Boon as the Democratic national candi-

late appeared on the platform there was£ wild shout of greeting and this soondeveloped into a demonstration whichcontinued for about six minutes, until In-deed there was a call for a cessationrom Mr. Bryan himself. The speech was

liberally applauded throughout, and whenIt was concluded there was a rush to the;tage on the part of those in the. audi-

ence. '. He, however, avoided this demonitration and soon found his way back tolis hotel. Mr. Bryan spoke as follows:

WASHINGTON, D. C.; Oct. 3.—Follow-ing Is the reply of the United States gov-ernment to the German note relative tothe punishment of Chinese offenders:

Memorandum, in re-sponse to the Inquiries made of the sec-retary of; state Oct. 2, 1900, by the im-perial German charge d'affairs touchingthe Chinese imperial edict in regard tothe punishment of Prince Tuan and oth-er high Chinese authorities. The ministercommunicated 7to the secretary of stateon : the 2nd : inst. - a telegram • received byhim from Director General Srieng, con-veying the purport of an imperial edict,dated. Sept. 25, 1900, by which the de-gradation and punishment of Prince Tuanand other high class Chinese,officials isdecreed.

"The government of the United StatesIs disposed to regard this measure as aproof of the desire of the Imperial: Chin-ese government * to Isatisfy :the reasonabledemands iof% the 7;foreign 7 powers 7, for . the

LONDON, Oct. 5,4 a. m.—The "khaki"boom has swept the ; country. Yester-day's pollings are a tale of increasedMinisterialist and diminished Liberal ma-jorities. The returns from the rural dis-

i tricts itoday (Friday) tand tomorrow maydo something to rehabilitate the Liberals,but the results; thus far- have fully :justi-fied .

LONDON CONS_/E. :

London itself felt the full tide of theUnionist victory. The Liberal represent-ation from the Metropolis w.ll not amountto more than seven 7or eignt out of sixty-two members.

In all directions the anti-warcandidates have been defeated, Even Mr.Cremer's success at Hagerstowa Is.doubt-ful, as a recount has been attempted.

iLondoners did not hesitate to testily totheir delight. Wherever the results weredisplayed" crowds .collected to cheer anddemonstrate in "favor._df their favorites.In various polling districts, the candi-dates* appeared at windows or droveabout receiving ; tremendous ovations.The returns: from many points .will netbe known until toward noon today.

. WASHINGTON, Oct -^-Propositions ok ia far . reaching character concerningChina are being presented in rapid sue- .cession to this government. The state de- 7partment had no sooner disposed of oneof these propositions today, by deliveringa response to the German -government,'than It was confronted by an even moreimportant proposition submitted ;by thoFrench government, and within half anhour formally seconded by the Russian,government . -. ... -*- - \u0084 ->

The answer to Germany covered thosubject of punishing _

Chinese offendersand made known; that the United Stateshad instructed Minister Conger along thalines suggested by Germany. These in- 'structions look towards securing the '

names of the persons. deserving chastise-ment, also whether the punishments a<>:cord with the gravity of the crimes com-'---mitted, and finafly, in what manner thoUnited States and the other powers areto be assured that satisfactory punish-ment is inflicted. Aside from these speci-

fic purposes of the note it is regarded as "aimportant chiefly in establishing the mostsat:.factory relations between the gov-ernments at Washington and Berlin. ThoFranco-Russian proposal take's a much ~.broader scope and submits a programmeunder which the negotiations for a com-plete settlement can be carried forward.The French charge, M. Thiebaut, handedthe proposition to Secretary, Hay todayand hdd a brief conference concerning it.A half hour >later 7M. de Wollant, theRussian charge, arrived at the state de- •

partment and handed Mr. Hay. a note ex«pressing Russian approval of the proposli *•turns" just'•.\u25a0submitted by France. JMr. Hay- -gave no formal answer to the two com- .munications, as they will go first'to. the,president at Canton". .7 J.J'J **k.:J FRANCO-RUSSIAN PROPOSAL. J-

The Franco-Russian proposition is un- .-der four heads,, namely: First, punSh-. ':•'ment) of the guilty. 7 parties; second. In- ''terdiction of the shipment of arms lntq >\u25a0China; third, payment of. indemnity .to $the powers, and fourth. sufficient guaran-tees for the future. '.......*•• ''J- J'"]' ~ 'V In addition a suggestion is made for thaestablishment of a permanent legation .guard at Pekin; for', the razing; of theTaku forts, and for the maintenance ;

of- '-'a line .of7communication between Pekin, .and the sea. ' :' M " ' '\u25a0'.•• '

The impression here, In advance of ac-.tion on propositions by our government,is that they contain nothing essentially ;unfitting them to be subjects of consid- 7. -.-eration in a final, settlement. The diffi-culty which Is likely to arise lies, in . tho-placing. of proper limitations "upon A. thescope of '7 each head. - This is particu-larly true of the subjects of guarantees. .and, perhaps, of that of indemnity. Still,"as already suggested,:each is undoubted-- >\u25a0already proper, subject

isdiscussion Aa most proper subject for discussion

-. when the final negotiations are reached,and 7 therefore 7 M. Delcasse's broadestpropositions, while likely .to consume",some time in reducing them. to ultimate' :and binding form, may be said to have a .fair reception awaiting them. ' :-• j : v

As to the interdiction of arms, the state,department already; has intimated thatthere may be a question as to Its wisdom,and there is reason to believe . also that .Germany -will not view that particular 'feature with approval.: But there appear*to be good reason. to expect that a middleground ;will be reached by confining •'tho :interdiction of arms to a specified. period, .prssibly to be fixed by the time . requiredby China*within which..to pay the indem- "inity. .The chief objection: to the proposi-tion is in its being permanent in its pres-' 'ent form. - . ; ... ...... * ,

What the -United" States' "government '"< 'particularly desires; to avoid is entering";into a programme that leans in any man-ner toward the maintenance of a foothold,on Chinese soil, and if the other proposi-tions relative to the . maintenance ,of aline of free ad -safe communication be

\u25a0 tween-Pekin and the sea and to the lega-tion guards can be modified by the direc-tion of temporary expedients/they will bemore likely, to receive the support of, oa* •government. It is apparent from 7 the .*'complexity' of the latest Franco-Russian'proposal that the phase of negotiation''thus initated' will take some time to dis-' •
