John W. Kem. Hen. Thomas R Marshall and Blind Senator Gore . all tn Decatur on Marshall Day. Quite ’ a gxiaxy of statesmen, and a great re- , ception we will give them on Wednesday. October 28. The tide is still with the Democrats and to retain it and to increase its velocity it is but necessary for every Democrat to hold fast, work industriously and see that every Democrat votes a Democratic ticket. Bryan Day through Indiana was the greatest kind cf a success, the crowds that greeted the great commoner ex felline those of any former trip. This is true of every place he goes and shows that the people are with him and will elect him to the highest office within the gift of the people. M Grant Hamilton, who is is charge i of the Chicago headquarters -■» the American Federation of Labor ar the , Victoria Hotel, believes Bryar and Kem will be elected. No man in the count *y is in more complete touch , with the labor situation and it is nis* opinion that Mr. Bryan wiT g°" at least SO pier cent of the labor vete. The best service that can be ren- ' dered for permanent prosperity is to - rebuke the assumption which certain j politicians continually are seeking to | create in the public mind, that cor-1 tinned prosperity depends cn the sue- ; cess of a particular political party, i Our form of government contemplate; j changes from time to time, and no’h , ing is so disastrous as to instill in the | people's minds the belief that there j h dxnger to business in changing portion of the officers of our gove-n

meet. If the people cannot chang ' their officers without creating a panic | then the logical step is tx go to al monarchy, which, of course, none xdvo • cates. Although living under a Republican • rati nal administration, a Republican state, county and city adminis-ratfoa, ' citizens of Chicago are being asked tc raise a fund of 8500.0 W for the v.retit . at starving children. All the Chicago papers are making appeals for the co’ ‘ lection of such a fund. They ]? net ‘ conceal the fact £hat there is imme- ■ diate necessity for the relief cf more than 15.000 children found suffering from hunger in the public schools in that city. City officials, headed by the mayor, have the matter of relief in ■ band. Much was heard about soup I houses" in 1890. but no such condition l as this wa s given by Republican raters. who made the panic ■>* <-35 'he burden of tbeir speches. And vgL Mr. Taft. Governor Hughes, and ether Republicans on the stump ar? predicting that the country will go to the bad in the event of Mr. Bryan s elecion. There were no starving school children in 'ss. and as Mr. Brytn aptly said in his speech to the Bryan and Kern Business Men's Association tn Chicago, official statistics show that the losses by reason of business failures for nine months in the present i fiscal year are in excess of those for j the same period during the panic of i ISO? It d-es not lie in the mouth Os Judge Taft to prophesy hard times in j the light of the record cf the present administration, of which be is the shining member. FIVE MEN BLOWN TO ATOMS — Steam Shovel Strikes Dynamtie Charge in Panama Canal Work. New Orleans.
