Shouted an KnthualMatlo Listener to m Arraignment of Cleyeland. JSjocialtotlie I: dlanaroMs .loarnL Moxtickm., lad., Nov. 4. The Kepublicang of White county closed the campaign :ere to-day with one or the largest rallies ever seen in the county. The parade was an inline use affair, and surprised even the Hepublicans themselves. It included a Jarge company of ex-snldiers oiv horseback, siding four abreast, and followed by a still larger lice of 7eterans on foot, a demonatration impossible for the Democracy to compete with in this county or elsewhere. There are Democratic soldiers in every township in this county who will vote for Harrison and Keid. and many who declare their intention openly. All the bands in the county . were In the procession, and Delphi with its I. O. O. F. liamrjoincd tho parade with a loot company, three hundred strong, arriving by special train. Many striking mottoes and devices were seen in the mrade. One. a wagon, bore a "wild-cat" ank, with tho cashier doing a land office business. There were long lines of women ou horseback and in wnsons. Attorney-general Miller and CoL A. M. Hardy, the speakers, were delayed in reaching here by missing connection at Logansport, and it whs after 3 o'clock before they made their appearance. The crowd was entertained in the meantime by the Logansport fcieo club, whose songs are always in demand here, and, on invitation, Mr. C. 11. l.andis. of the Delphi Journal, addressed the people at the rink, Hon. James T. Hryer presiding. Only a small portion of the people could gam admittance, but the weather forbade any out-door meeting. TLe speakers of the day arrived at last and divided the remainder of the time, lr. Miller speaking first. He dwelt at length on the Democratic cry of unconstitutionality m reference to the tariff, and showed-that it rested on the earns slim basis as all their other unconstitutional vaporing for thirty years past. In like manner he dissected their attacK on the Mate bank tax. showing that this tax 2) ad been tested in the Supreme Court and declared constitutional long ago. Other issues were treated upon very briefly by the Attorney-general, owing to the lateness of the hoar. Colonel Hardy proved a rousing talker, and especially inspired the "veterans who were present, ilia speech was punctuated with applanse from first to last, and he carried the andience by storm, lie called attention to the spectacle of .Cleveland aspiring to the presidency ana only being able to count on one or two Northern States. A man in the center of the hall shouted "He won't cet Indiana," and from the oheers that followed tho audier.ee seemed to agreo with him. It was getting dark when the meeting dispersed. It was a big day lor White county KepublicaLs. and they are jn excellent shapo for next Tuesday's work. m m m I! US XI Mi KACE3. Five Events on a Henry Track at Nashville's West-Side Track.

Short Speech by Whitelaw Reid to tho Workinpmea of Albany, X. Y. Labor's Interest in the Access of the Republican Party Greater than Any Other Chss Work at the National Headquarters. SPEECH BY KG AN. Democrats Denounced as Allies of Britain nd Enemlrt of Irishmen. New York, Nov. 4. The Irish-American Republican mass-meeting, in Cooper Union to-night, brought forth plenty of enthaaiasm. It manifested itself as soon as the doora were opened, early in the evening, and the andience began to pile into the hall, and it continued with unabated vigor until the last speech of the evening had been delivered. Patrick Eean, minister to Chili, was the drawing card, but, besides him, ex-Congressman John F. Finerty, of Chicago, and John lirennan, of Iowa, were advertised to speak. The meeting was opened by Gen. Dennis F. liurke, who made a rather lengtEy speech in presenting Minister Kgan, as chairman of the meeting. He saidm part: There sre many here to-ni?ht wbo will tell you that ou the Held ot battle when we took the lutuket from tie hands of a rebel we found upon it the Imprint ot the Tower of London. It we o;cued liia cartrld;e-tox we found therein the evidence that the ammunition was made in the workshops of limnand. If we turned down the collar ot hid ooat we found thereon the name of a Jirittsli manufacturer. Cries of "That's so." 1. r.i: land then was united with the rebels of the t-outli to destroy our Union, rhe is to-day allied with tho aiue ret ot kuaves, with those hV.era of tho Democracy of the .North to force on thU Nation tree trade. We have helped to leat them with the bullets, and we will help i;e.xt Tuesday to heat thorn with the ballots. With a few complimentary remarks concerning Minister Kgan Mr. liurke introduced that gentleman as chairman of the meeting. Mr. Kgan said: My first duty is to thank jour honorable cominltteu for the honor it haa done me in inviting me to preBido at thin Important meeting and the heeoud is to thank you for the very cordial American welcome which you have extended to' mo hero thi evening n welcome ot which any man iu this tavat Nation might feel justly proud. I presume, nay, I know, that the reason why I have been selected for this honor is the fact that . I nm singled out hy the un-American mugwumps and hy the prn-imtish section which, by the way. ih the ruhug section of the Democratio presa and party aa the butt of all their bile and venom against those of the Irish race who will r.ot tamely bend their necks to the yoko of the Democratic party. I 'have dared to form for myself an independent opinion In American politics without consulting the Democratic botftea and. therefore, at any and every coat I must be downed; even if it necessitated the callin; up of their last reserve in the person of Mr. Cirover Cleveland's partner, Wayne MaoVeagb, to do so. From the first day that my name was mentioned for the Chilian mission the mugwump and the Den.ocratic press, with some few honorable exceptions, kept tune with the London Times in assailing me. In Chill, while loyally endcavorlug to uphold the national honor, I was treacherously attacked from the rear by those people, and. hut for the thoroughly American stand maintained by l'resldent Harrison, Mr., Blaine. Secretary Tracy and the other members Vtf the Cabinet, American prestige and American honor wonhl have suffered a defeat from which they would have taken many long years to recover. The reason why the Engliah flag is sp much respected throughout the world (outside of Ireland) is the fact that the humblest Englishman abroad ran feel that if he be unjustly deprived of his liberty, if his rights be unjustly invaded or his person r.njutly assailed, he has the whole forco of the DriUh empire at his back, and that the IiriHjh navy, if within hail, -will be ready to promptly demand and, if necessary, promptly exact satisfaction. In referring to the unfortunate a Hair of the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore in Valparaiso, now so happily aud honorably arranged between Chili and the United Mates, an officer high In command in the Buglish navy said to the commander of one of our ubips on that coat that if a similar assault should ho committed upon bis men he would promptly nettle the matter at the muzzles of his Kun, and make all the explanations to bis government afterwards Why cannot Americans act in this way! Simply because there are ko man unconverted copperheads, ever watchful and ever ready to take the part of any foreign foe against their own rounfrr. that n. howl would at once be raised for the head of the officer who should dare to tiosn. I felt, and I fee!, as an American, that the glorious agof this Kepublio should wave at least as proudly as the standard of England, and that every American citizen, and every American interest hi a foreign land should at least bo a .secure as those of any other nation in the world. I thought, too, that I understood that these were the sentiments of the Republican party, and of lu standard-bearer. President Harrison, and I found that I was not mistaken. I, herefore, adopted the course I have pursued in Chili, and lam proud to come before you. my fellow-citizens, to-niKht, aud to be able to say that my every act, and every word in that connection, met with tho unqualified approval of such representatives of American patriotism as 1'rcMdent Harrison and James (J. Blaine, and with the approbation of the entire Republican press and party. It is unnecessary to say to you that the object of this meetiug is to Impress, not only upon you here present bus upon the people of this great city, and upon the country at large, the advisability, nay, the necessity, of co-operating, by every legitimate means, in securing the reelection of the man who for the past four years has given to this Republic one ' of the most brilliant, the most manly, the most honorable, and the most patriotically American administrations it has ever enjoyed since the days ot Wasbincton-trreeldent Harrison. After Minister Egan's speech resolutions were adopted which declared among other things that they repel with scorn and indignation the lying pretense of the socalled Democratic party to "own" or "'controP the Irish vote, and the "vile insult otic red to our race by that renegade from bis party and race, Wayne MoVeagh." and "that we heartily reiterate oar confidence in tho Hon. Patrick Egan." The Hon. John F. Finerty, of Illinois, was then introduced. He said that the Democratic party at Chicago bad built a platform out of the rotten planks of the Confederacy, so rotten that the Democratic candidate for the presidency was afraid to stand on it, and he would rather straddle a Virginia raiMence.' although he was not a very graceful rider. Tammany Hall was no engaged in whitewashing the candidate it had denounced at the Chicago conmention, and they were cow asking the American people to support that candidate. Continuing, the speaker said: I have heard of gastronomic artists who could eat forty quails in forty consecutive days, but these men ere eating ninety crows. Every one kuows tb".i Cleveland Is not the nominee of the Northern Democracy, but represents the Southern plutocracy and the Iirltlsh manufacturers, rtenator Carlisle said In Tammviy Hall last night that we are manufacturing inferior t nplate. There is nothing, I say, we can't make that any other nation can make. There 1 nothing manufactured in the United States good enough for Democrat except Kentucky bourbon. Of all the people in this country, the Irhth-Aroericans should be the last to east a vote for liritish free trade. Your duty U loyalty to America; you owe Ed; laud nothing. If you vote tor free trade you are supjHrtiug the enemy, not of your native land alone, but of your adopted country. The Hon. John lirennan, of Iowa, followed. He denounced the free-trade doctrine of the Demot ratio party, spoke of the prosperity oi the country und the huh wage paid to Anierienu wnrkingtnen in comparison to the labor of England, and lauded the merits of the McKinley bill. Irifth-Aniericans. he said, had plaved foreigners in this country too long at the dictation ol the Democratic party. KEIl TO AY O It K I X G S I EN. Labor' Interest In the Klectlon Discussed by the Yiee-IVesldentUI Candidate. Albany, X. Y Nov. 4. lileeker Hall was paeked to its utmost capacity to-night, the occasion being the final rally of the Kepublicans of the city of Albany and the opportunity to hear the Kepublioan vice-presidential candidate, Hon. Whitelaw Eeid. discuss the issues of the campaign. The meeting was hold
nnder the anspices of the Foundrymen'a Protective League. It was 9 o'clock when Mr. Keid entered the balL lie received a rousing welcome when be came on the stage, which was crowded with members of workingroen's clubs. Mr. Keid, among other things, said: It is a great pleasure to meet the united Republicans of Albany, and to meet them under the aunpices of the worklngmen's chrts of Albany. The Republican party was in the beginning, as it is now and I trust ever will be. the p:ir of theworkmgmen. Its first act was to lr or. Its next was to protect it against untat. .ii petition with foreign labor, and its next was m hicure a free homestead to every man who was willing to go out to th' c9t and occupy It. There has never been a time when it did not find its inspiration and seek its support among those whom Mr. Lincoln, of blessed memory, called th plain people. There has never been a tiire when the millionaire Importers, the meu whose interest it is to have everything possible made abroad, and as little as possible made at home, have not been against it There has never been a time when the men who strove to find as much employment for labor at home as possible have not been In favor of It. There never ought to be a time when the men whose interests it is to have as great a demand as possible at home for labor are cot enthusiastically in favor of It, There are two things In politics which are of supreme interest to every laboring man. He has the right to demand, lirst, that nothing shall be done to reduce the value of the money In which he is paid, and secondly th t no legislation shall tend to reduce the amount to be paid him for his work. He has a right to protection against dishonest money and against an unequal foreign competition. If he is to vote in his own interest and not in the interest of the mere politicians who are his best friends during the campaign and have no use for him alter election day, ho will ajk himself: "What are the authorized declarations and what are the known tendencies of the two parties on these two points!" Mr. Keil then discussed in some detail the proposal to revive the State bank currency and the demand for a revenue tariff. He was frequently interrupted with cheers. Mr. David Healey followed, discussing the issues of the campaign from the workingman's stand-point. CLOSIliG UP THE CANVASS.
Leaders of Doth Tartles Watching Every I'oint Two Forecasts. New York, Not. 4. Chairman Carter and all the other members of the Republican national executive committee were at headquarters early this morning, and. with their staft of assistants, at once plunged into work. They expressed determination to let no laok of vigilance at the eleventh hour place their prospects in jeopardy. Necessarily the work in which they were engaged was one mainly of detail, but important detail. The field on which tho contest with the Democratio forces on Tuesday next is to be fought is a broad one. and irom all quarters of it reports were constantly arriving. To many of these reports it was necessary to givo reply, instantly and decisive, to the lieutenants awaiting tho orders of their chiefs. Vigilance, the keenest, is maintained and will be maintained until the campaign that is now nearing its close byhourly steps has ended. The work by the Democratic national committee during the remaining three days of the campaign will be chiefly in the States of Connecticut, West Virginia, Indiana, Alabama and Virginia. Instructions have been sent out from Democratio headquarters to the chairmen ot the btate committees in all these States warning them to be on the alert and not to relax their vigilance anywhere for a moment until the votes are counted next Tuesday night. The chairmen of the five States are in daily, almost hourly, communication with national headquarters by telegraph. Hourly communication is had with the Democratio leaders in Connecticut by long-distance telephone. The Herald says: A member of the Democratio national committee prepared this statement of the electoral vote that the Cleveland managers expect to obtain. The solid South. 150; New York. S; Indiana.

Dotting on the election took a tremendous slump to-night; that is, genuine money betting, but mouth beta were scattered about with an extravagance that was shocking.

Tope k a, Kan., Nov. 4.-The Democratio Flambeau Club, while marching in the Weaver procession last night, was egged and rocked. James Eggerton, the president of the club, was also egged, and James Fitzgibbons, a contractor, was hit with a roeic and badly hurt. Several others were more or less injnred. The club continued its line of march, notwithstanding the volley of eggs that were thrown from all sides along the way. Chairman Jones, of the State oommittee. has left the Weaver meeting because of a misunderstanding with Mrs Lease, who demanded permission to speak. After General Weaver had concluded a speech of two hours he introduced J. H. Attnore. of Atchison. The crowd wanted to hear Mrs. Lease, and began calling for her. Chairman Jones announced that Mrs. Lease had left to eaten a tram, but no sooner had he done so than the indignant Populist appeared from behind the Hies of the opera-house and shouted in n$ loud melodramatio voice: "Mrs. Lease is here, and demands permission to speak to the people of Kansas." Senator Poller and General Weaver tried in vain to pacify her. and ehe began her speech to the crowd amid wiln enthusiasm, bhe denounced the politicians who were running . the fusion oampaign. and declared that the people must assert themselves.

Of these, 4:.014 are registered in Minneapolis and 27,400 in St. Paul. The Republicans claim that their poll shows that the Democrats will carry St. Paul by 5i0, and the Republicans Minneapolis by S,000. Upon this basis, the Republican btate committee claims that the State will give Harrison a plurality of t2,OH) on live electors, and Nelson a plurality, for Governor of ly.OOU. They claim also that the four Harrison electors will beat the four fusion electors 5.000 to 8,000 votes. The Democrats, however, are not backward in making claims. They say Cleveland will carry St. Paul by 20,000 and
Minneapolis by 3,000; that the four fusion electors will win by 15.000; that thetivo Cleveland electors have a chance of winning: that Lawler will be elected Governor, and tint the Leaislature will have & fusion majority of at least ten. A Democratic Lie Nailed. Specii. to we Indianapolis Journal. W'ASUlNO'iON, Nov. 4. The absurd charge of Mr. J. Edward Simmons, of New York,
that tile Republicans were gathering, together all the one and two-dollar bills to be had for the purpose of using them in the election does more credit to the fertility of Mr. Simmon 6' a imagination than to his estimate ot the purchase price of Democratic voters. The truth of the matter is. and Mr. Simmons knows it from the experience of past years, that there is always a demand for small bills at this season of the year or a little later for use in the fall shipping trade. The demand comes a little earlier than usual this year because there was a scarcity last year and business sullered. Business men, remembering their experience of last' year, are providing against the demands of the near future. There, are about four million of ono and two-dollar notes ailoat thisyear. The total is SC5,C7:i,000. Jadge Tipton Draws a Fine Tolnt. Special to the Intliaoapolls Journal. Bloomington, 111., Nov. 4.

Judge Morris, of the United States Court, recently decided that amedical student from another State has no right to register and vote here.

Ecd of a Sensational English Society itait, Much Like the Osborne Case, Wife cf a General Ordered t Pay the Wife of & Lieutenant 2.500 for Sayice the Latter Stole a Broach. London. Nov. 4. The Queen's Bench of "her Majesty's High Court of Justice was crowded to-day with an aristocratic throng, all curious to hear the conclusion of the celebrated Leader-Smyth case, which is an action for damages for slander brought by Mrs. Lieutenant Leader against Mrs. Maj.Gen. Gibbons Smyth. The latter charged that Mrs. Leader, while on a visit to her house on Sept. 2L 1601, stole a brooch belonging to Mrs. Smyth, which the latter declared she subsequently saw exposed for sale in a jeweler's shop. Mrs. Smyth procured tho brooch by threatening to take legal aotion against the jeweler, and again wrote a threatening letter to Mrs. Leader, who was in India with her husband, accusing her of the theft and stating that if she desired to avoid publicity she must send by return mail 5 guineas to cover the costs of recovering the broocn. Instead of replying to this letter. Mrs. Leader, as soon as possible after the receipt thereof, instructed counsel to bring a suit for damages for Blander against Mrs. Smyth. Mrs. Leader acknowledged selling a brooch to the jeweler in whose shop the alleged stolen article was found, but declared that the brooch she sold was her personal property, it having been given to her by a friend. Captain French, as a wedding gift. To-day was the fourth day of the trial. At the close of the arguments Justice Day proceeded to sum up the case. He expressed surprise at the line of defense. Continuing, be said that if the defendant had pleaded that she had uttered the . slander on a privileged occasion, be might have held that view was right in the absence of express proof of malice. But the deiense justified the slander, and undertook to prove to the satisfaction of the jury that the brooch had been stolen by Mrs. Leader from Mrs. Smyth's room. It was a eurions coincidence that these two ladies, friends, should possess brooches of a pattern from which the original maker knew of only nine having been made since 1891. It was also a curious coincidence that both ladies should cease to possess them at about the same time, Mrs. Smyth losing hers aud Mrs. Leader selling hers. With regard to Mrs. Leader's position It was important to remember that she was not in want of money. Viewing all the evidence, he must say if the case had been taken to a Criminal Court, he would not, on the evidence of Mrs. Smyth, have allowed the charge to go before a jury. It was open to the present jury to decide whether Mrs. Smyth was actuated by malice in uttering the charges against Mrs. Leader. The jury, after a short deliberation, returnen with a verdict awarding Mrs. Leader S-, 500 damages. The verdict was greeted with applause, which the court immediately suppressed. The friends of MrsrLeader crowded around her and enthusiastically congratulated ber. She waited in the court-room only long enough to shake hands with Mr. Lock wood, after which, accompanied by ber husband, she quickly walked through the corridor and entered a cab. '1 he verdict means, with costs and additional damages, that the defendant will have to pay at least $7,500. This Ilappened In Free-Trade England. London. Nov. 4.
