Senator Hill spoke to a magnificent Indianapolis audience last evening, and that right on the heels of a similar outpouring of the masses to hear the matchless Bryan. Indiana is showing a pace that is causing large drops of perspiration nnd worry to the g. o. p. state leaders. They held a hasty meeting yesterday and Chairman Goodrich was dispatched for another invoice of ginger. The case is thought to j be hopeless. Indiana state issues are of serious moment. When land assessment ■ valuations in Adams county are ' heavily increased andjiailroad and ■ o‘her corporation valuations are de--1 creased to the millions it is time the landowners and voters were regis- . tering the kind of a protest that will • make a democratic tax board who will regulate assessments and com- ’ 1 pel the corporate interests to pay their portion of taxes.

The meeting at the Blakey school, house last night was one of the best of the campaign. Mr. F. J. Rheinhart spoke in German and his remarks were in hearty accord with the audience, which was also entirely German. The school room was crowded to the doors and the interest was of the kind that means business and will count with their votes on election day. "If Senator Beveridge had been i honest he would have told you that | when I advocated the ratification of ‘ the treaty I also insisted that we 1 should immediately promise inde- ! pendence to the Philippines and I insisted that the Bacon resolution ; should be pissed and it was defeat- ; ed by the vote of the vice president, i That resolution promised indepen- ■ dence to the Phlippines upon the i same terms that it was promised to i the people of Cuba, and had it ■ passed we would have saved an ex- ! penditure of hundreds of millions [ of dollars.”—William J. Bryan. i “Our national honor has hereto--1 fore been our pride and glory. It 1 has given us the sincere homage 1 of the world. But the actions of the present national administration ; have done more to undermine the respect which a hundred years of honorable diplomacy had established among the people of other countries than all the mere triumphs of our arms can ever re- ‘ store. The bullying of weaker nations may be popular among the crowned heads of England and Russia, who may wish to follow in the future the precedents we have . afforded them, but their applause should not be mistaken for the sober judgment of the honest ‘ masses of other countries.
