John W Holtzman, W. 2d. Fogarty and E. W. Little. "If any man cries out against the beautiful conditions of his city and maligns the good work of hia party. I say out upon Mm. because it is not good citizenship," exclaimed Hon. Addison C. Harris, former minister to Austria, last night at the Republican tent meeting at the corner of -New Jersey and Nineteenth streets. Mr. Harris made one of th principal speechea of the evening and while it did not enter into the minute Issues of the campaign it was vibrant with the idea 'be true to your party.' Continuing, the speaker said: "I would rebuke by mouth or pen or any way 1 could, such utterances and the only way to rebuke them Is to vote for the Republican party.' Mr. Hairis outlined the policy of a true Republican. He aaid that after th candidate has once been chosen by the party the oaly proper method is to stand upon the platform of the party and after the election see that the principles of the platform are carried out. The nominee is the choice of all. He said that it waa a mistaken idea that a city election is qot a political campaign, as some people would try to have It, because each party 4ii have only one candidate. Therefore by reason of the power of the mayor, when the voter votes for a Republican mayor he is voting for two-thirds of the members on the different boards of the city. "When it tomes to a question." Mr. Harris declared, "whether I prefer my citv affairs to revise in the hands of my political friends or enemies I stand for my friends." He theu went on to say that he had kuown Mayor Bookwsltcr for many yean and knew him to he honest and manly and a courageous Republican. I JlLEN'T VOTE FOR HOLTZMAN. VAnd why." he asked, ".-mould any man say he will be better by oting against a Republican mayor? You all know that the lirst use that would be made of the city if it fall into the hands of Mr. Holtzman would be to foster Democratic advantages. Why. a man would be simple if he thought that Keaeh would uae the power to help on good government. I have nothing to say against Mr. Holtzman. He ia a legal friend of mine, although we do not meet In our profession, but I do know enough about his political principles to know that 1 am not going to vote for htm." By fair count and earnast work. Mr. Harris aaid. Indianapolis is thoroughly Republican. He then pointed out that there was no city in the country where so u any people owned their own homes, and declared that the government of the Kcublicen party had brought about this lapay condition. ' I say here and now thit tin re isn't a t"wn between ihe two seas where dwell a peaceful aim as law-abiding a people as In our own glorious city " de clared the speaker. "I stand for the fundamental principles, and aa tor good and evil, the good has alwaya been found In the Republican party. The course ..f the great nation has been under th control of the Kepublican party. The great annals of the country have been written and carried out by t Repubü an paity. This is not a campaign of argument. It is a campaign of refaction. What does all the criticising and cartooning of certain peoole amount to? Do we believe it? Why. n . Ami the only way to rebuke it is to vote for the Repubhcan party Mr. Harri interspersed his talk with a number of humorous stories that illustrated his points In a manner that elicited enthuslesth applevsc from the audience. t. J. ROB I SON FK KS IDES. About three hundred attended the meeting, which wit) one of the longest as well as the beat that has yet been hel.i. E. J. Rubicon presided, and speeches were m -by Robert A. Brown and Mayor Bookwaltei, in addition to Mr. Harris. Mr. Robieou prefaced his introduction of the first speaker b explaining and refuting the. Buch -a ttaoked sprinkling contract, which It is alleged was let to the highest bidder. air. Robison made the sppnkllng contra i with Mr. Kennlngton. and after describing the apeclficationa aaid that if any man did not believe it to come to his office to-morrow and he would show him the records. He said: "The contract with Mr. Kennington had no common part whatever with th City administration. No man could take one dollar from or add ore dollar to Ihe work of Mr. Kennlngton. A definite contract was mu'l- for a given amount of work.

Says Prof. Manley Now Attributea AVedneadaya Aeeldent to a De fecti e i latch. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-Speaking of yesterday's experiment at Widewater with his aerodrome. Professor Langley -aid to-day he was not an eyewitness of the experiment, having been detained in Washington, but he added that on the report of Mr. Manley, who was In charge, he Is able to say that the latter's first Impression that there had been defective balancing aas corrected by a minuter examination when the clutch which held the aerodrome on the launching ways and which should have been released at the Instant of the fall, was found to be injured. Professor Langley continued: "The machinery was working perfectly and giving every reason to anticipate a successful flight when this accident, due wholly to the launching ways, drew the aerodrome abruptly downward at the moment of release and cast it Into the water near the houseboat. The statement that the machine failed for lack of power to fly was wholly a mistaRVn one. The engine, the frame and all the more Important parts were practically uninjured. The engine is actually in good working order. The damage done was confined to the slighter portions like the canvas wings and propellers, and these ran be readily replaced. The belief of those charged with the experiments in the ultimate successful working of the machine is in no wav affected by this accident, which is one of the large chapter of accidents that beset the Initial stages of experiments aa novel as the present ones. It is chiefly unfortunate as coming near the end of the aeason when outdoor work of this sort is possible. Whether the experiments will be continued this year or not has not yet been determined."

CAMP YOl'NG. HOWARD. Ky.. Oct. S. Thrown by somebody'6 blunder into a fierce storm of battle, with scarcely a minute's warning, compelled to form his men in battle line without time to estimate the conditions facing him Col. Harry B. Smith, commanding the Second Brigade, the reserve of the Blue army. In the absence of Gen. W. J. McKee, not only whipped the Fourth Brigade of the Brown army Ohl and Kentucky troops to a standstill, but actually saved the Blue army from the disastrous consequencea of the very blunder which gave the Indiana boys their opportunity of showing, this time so decisively as to admit of no dispute, that they are the best all-round guardsmen In Camp Young. The circumstances which led to the fierce engagement, in which Colonel Smith and his Hoosiers, standing like a stone wall against the mad onslaught of the Brown brigade, showed what Indiana soldiers could do In real war. were so remarkable that probably they have never been duplicated in pace battles or In actual engagements. Colonel Smith ass leading the reserve of the Brown army, a force approximately l.tno strong in the ordinary course of things he would not have got bullets In his teeth until late in the afternoon, since the advance of the Blue army would necessarily have received the first brunt of the battle, bnt a blunder, the port that has covered battlefields with dead raen't bones and changed the map of the world, occurred. The advance inarched peacefully on, skirmishing occasionally with Br.iwn cavalry scouts, which stung like gnati. and like gnats, were quickly gone. A brigade of Brown infantry and two troops of cavalry succeeded .n worming its say behind the main column and suddenly burst with fury upon the rlender column which Colonel Smith was Kading.

The Indiana brigade, ltkc Thomas at rhlckamauga. was rock set. From a sunken road and a rail fence on a perfect military crest It swept the declining ground in front of it with a hurricane of rifle fire so terrible that in actual war not a Khaki-covered enemy would ever have cswled from the green field Into which he na 1 so confidently dashed. The Eighth Ohio, directly exposed to the Second Indianas decimating fire, would have been annihilated. The Second and Third Kentucky regiments, at the mercy of the First Indiana, would haee lost so heavily, if actual bullets hsd made bettle music, that this military orgnntsaUon'a usefulness would have been at an end. The umpires decided that the total losses of the Indiana troops would have amounted to 30 men. They h-ld that the Eighth Ohls would alone hsve 106 men killed. The loaaea of the Second and Third Kentucky Regiments would have been. In their eatlmatlon, fully lour companies, probably ISO man. Ps that in that hot fight of thirty minutes Indiana lost 30 men to total casualties of 310 SJMSJ in the opposing brigade. Thit tells the story of the victory. Hov.' th4 Brown brigade msnsged to penetrate the main column of the Blue army without being engaged, and how it was allowed to dash back so fsr as to meet the Blue reserve, are questions which are unst.hed to-night. The umpires may reason it out in their reports, but the fact stands that the most desiierate engagement of the day was fought and won by a reserve fores while the main column was peacefully plodding along in front. The fact will stand, ton. that Colonel Smith, unsupported, unwarned, but not unready, hurled back the flushed invaders ar.d saved the Blue army from being cut in two pieces Not a commauder at Camp Young, regular or militia, hM won the same glory.
