CHICAGO. Sept. 1. Franklin MacVeagh, Democratic candidate for United States Senator, opened his campaign here to-night fcefore an audience which filled every part of Central Music HaU. Delos P. Phelps, chairman of the State committee, opened the meeting with a brief address In which he introduced William T. Baker, of Chicago, who acted a3 presiding officer. Mr. Uaker, In a few happy remarks, brought forward Mr. MacVeagh, who was enthusiastically received personally, and whose tpeech wa-s frequently Interrupted ' with cheers and applause. Mr. MacVeagh reviewed at great length the events of the past twenty-five years, charging the Republican party with the responsibility for all the busines3 panics during that period. Coming down to the Issues involved in the present campaign, he said: "L am a tariff reformer; and know of no way left under heaven, except through the Democratic party, to make fast what we now have of tariff reform and to get more. I believe In the reform method of the Democratic party in its radical, imperative and immovable demand for free raw material and Its patient but progressive treatment of manufactured products. Republicans In Garfield's time believed in 'protection which leads to free trade The Democrats of Cle veland's time believe in tariff reform which lead3 to free trade." As to the delay In passing the tariff bill Mr. MacVeagh said: "The blame lies first in our absurd custom of electing a Congress and refusing to let It sit, except In sieclal session, for a year and a month. Then the panic came on directly after the President went Into otlice and the extra session to allay the panic crowded out final consideration of an extra session for tariff reform. But as soon as Congress regularly assembled In December the tariff was taken up and it steadily absorbed Congress until it passed. The time would not have been complained of for it was considerably less than that of the McKinley bill but for the eagerness of the business community. Just emerging from the panic to have all economic legislation especially hurried. The delay was not the fault of the tariff reformers, who took up as little Df the time as possible, and knew their mind perfectly. It was due, first, to the tactics of the Republicans, which were always on the verge of filibustering. It was d:ie, secondly, to the difficulties of a great and glorious Democratic achievement. That achievement was the passage of a tariff reform bill, through the Senate which had a protectionist majority. A VICTORY FOR REFORM. The President has earned his right to withhold hl3 signature to that bill if he thought that the best way to further re form and mark his Indignation toward the men who used the disguise of Democrats to moderate the triumph of Democracy. But that does not change the great achievement. History ijrtil call this bill the de cisive victory of reform the "Waterloo of protection. Why talk of the details - we failed to get, when what we got was the overthrow of protection and the downfall of privilege? The bill Is not in complete-, ness what the tariff-reform minority ot. the Senate would have had It or what the peo-. pie or the House of Representatives or the President would have had it, but it is as different as day is from night from what the protectionist majority of the Sen ate a-ouM have had it. It begins a new era and reverses the policy of a great nation. We failed to make all raw materials free. Rut we made many of them free, and who doubt3 that the absurdity of taxed raw materials Is on its last legs? "We did not reduce the protection of the Sugar Trust as far as we intended. We did not get for the people all we tried to get. for It was here that prctection was most strongly intrenched and lought most desperately. The reform has been ob structed because there is a hostile Demo cratlc protectionist remnant intrenched in the Senate. The marvel is that the tariff reformers of the Democratic party could carry reform at all over the head of an actual majority of able, cunning and Intriguing protectionists. And as the minor-. lty in the Senate shows a crying need of more tariff reform Senators, I am going to d my best and I hope you will do your beat to send to Washington another unequivocal tariff-reform Senator from Illi nois." m XiELTEVES IX BIMETALLISM. Mr. MacVeagh said he believes In bimet allism. "We absolutely need both gold and silver free coinage of both," he said. "Rut in attempting the reform we must neither damage the credit of the Nation nor stumLie, unintentionally, from gold monometal lism, which Is bad enough, into silver mon ometallism, which Is worse. Up to now neither party has taken a frank position on the silver question. It must be taken up with frankness and determination, such as h.13 characterized the taking up of tariff reform, and the speaker thought the Dem ocratlc party, being the party of the peo ple, is best fitted for the task. As to the silver question, he said that what has seamed a local craze is really a world-wide agitation. Coming down to a discussion of the In come tax. Mr. MacVeagh said: "The rea -"ns urged against it will not grow In fa vor, the reasons for it will surely gain greater ana greater acceptance." Speaking of the questions raised during xne recent great strike as to the interference by the federal government, the speak er said: "I believe in local elf-erovernment. Stares' rights is not what I mean; that is d' . i. But local self-government Is a far d:fftrent matter. On the other hand, I cannot fevl certain that it may not be neoesFary for the national government to take control of certain strikes, owing, perhaps. to threatened continental extension of or ganized strife. Rut, if so, then let us not ti;ni ourselves to the fact that this will mean another great step toward the cen tralization of our form of government, anotner change in our actual constitution and a mcst serious weakening of that local resiHjnsibility for the administration of the law and the local fn of self-reliance, to weaken wmch is to weaken American democracy. And if this la to be the effect of the present condition of wider and wider strikes on the one hand and wider lockouts on the ether, then I sav that the dutv of the Nation becomes more imperative than ever ana tne duty of the Democratic party more Imperative than ever to de stroy the present barbarous way of fettling disputes between organized labor an I organized capital. And I have a strong r.o mat berore urover Cleveland has done with the leadership of the Democratic party he will do for the Industrial issue what he c;j for tariff reform. jwiots nave only one public right the right to be crushed. Strikes ara either wren sr. and then should fail: or right, and then should succeed. It Is easy to point out the abuses of the great power conferred by organization on workmen, and undoubtedly they should be restrained both by public opinion and law. But what shall we .ay for the abuses of the power of organized capital? Which organization corrupts city councils and legislatures, and lies unjr suspicion of invading some precincts of Congress itself, and makss good government almost an Impossibility? Is it the organization of labor? Who form those trusts and monopolies under which the very fMf-resr.ect of this Nation positively groans? Is It the organized workingmen? The speaker tnought the progress of the people toward a better state of affairs Is. however, certain. "There never was,".said he "a truly great age without a basis of widespread mental and moral activities; and i beMeve that we are laying now the foundations for a period of varied human development and progress." Colonel Breckinridge JVot Shot. CINCINNATI. Sept L a. canard was circulated here to-Iay that Colonel Brecktr.rjde had been shot. A dispatch from f-adieville. Scott county.

At midnight last night a sad message
was placed in the hands of Mrs. Mary Jack, living at No. 205 MeeK street. The yellow 'bit of paper contained news that created the most pitiful grief in the household. It was a telegram to the effect that Mrs. Jack's daughter, an eighteen-year-old wife, had been murdered by her husband at Lockland, O. The news was car ried to the poor woman by a newspaper reporter. Mrs. Jack had a few hours before received a message from Lockland announcing a death in her daughter's fam ily and had supposed that it referred to an Infant child. The murdered woman was the wife of James Cain,' a Lockland bar ber. A year ago Mrs. Jack, who Is a widow. lived at Fountain, Ind., where her daugh ter was married to Cain. A week ago she received a letter from her daughter which stated that she was being mistreated by her husband and asked that money be sent her so that she could come to Indianapolis. A few days ago Mrs. Jack forwarded the money,. and until yesterday morning hour ly expected the arrival or her aaugnter. Yesterday morning another letter from the daughter announced that "Jim" had promised to do better. In this letter Mrs. Cain stated that she would delay her trip to Indianapolis for some weeks. A singular feature of the affair is that the message received by Mrs. Jack announcing death in the family bore the signature of "Millie Uatn." the daughter. The details or the murder are not known. HE WAS A COLORED DEMOCRAT. R. G. Still, Ono of Taylor's Delegates, Gave a Worthless DrafU As indicated by news from Washington, it is evident that matters are not at all harmonious with the Negro National Dem ocratic League. It Is state J that Charles II. J. Taylor, president of the league, and recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, has been hauled up before President Cleveland on the charge of having assessed the colored employes of the ex ecutive departments. It is claimed that Taylor was about to use the money for political purposes when the Civil-service Commission learned of his plans and went after him. The Cleveland State League of New York, the oldest organization of col ored Democratic voters in the country, it Is said, has interested itself against Mr. Taylor. It is claimed in Indianapolis that It. G. Still, one of the colored gentlemen identified with Mr. Tavlor's scheme, is not as honest as he might be. Air. still attended the Indianapolis national convention or Democratic colored men and loitered about the city .several days after his collleagues had left. An hour or two before his de parture he tendered the proprietor of the hotel where he stopped a drart on a 1'ittsburg man, with an accompanying telegram which stated that the paper would be honored at sight. The draft was accented and forwarded to Pittsburg, to be returned a few days later stamped as worthless. Members of the league In Indianapolis disclaim all connection with Mr. Still and declare that he is not worthy the consideration of the organization. BROAD RIITLE LINE TOWER. Citizen's Street Railroad Company May Furnish It. Messrs. II. Sellers McKee and M. A. Verner, of the Citizens' Street-railroad Company, arrived from Pittsburg yesterday afternoon. They were summoned here by General Manager McLean to discuss plans for rebuilding the power house which was demolished by Friday's explosion. Mr. McLean said last night that the Citizens Company had been asked to furnish the nnivpf for the new Broad RlODle COmDany. but that no definite conclusion had been reached.

Senator David Turpie arrived In Indianapolis from Washington yesterday morning, aril is at his home. -No. 173 North Capitol avenue. The Senator came down town yesterday afternoon long enough to pass the compliments of the season with Postmaster Sahm and United States Marshal Hawkins. He says that his health is excellent, notwithstanding his season's labor In the Senate. Although the Senator is singularly reticent regarding the work ot the Senate, he takes an exceedingly happy view of the document labeled "tariff lately unfolded for the American people. The Senator was seen about 9 o'clock last night at his home. He was In a somnolent mood and declared that he had nothing to say that would Interest Indiana people. How ever, after showing much annoyance at being asked to talk to th people of Indi ana, he consented to grant a brief audience. "Now, what is it you want to know," he asked, as he made ready to be annoyed in a big rustio chair that stands on his front porch. "If it's about the tariff." he continued, "I can tell you that the Sen ate Just adjourned made the best tariff bill that the country has seers In years. It's the finest thing the American people has had since the Walker bill, which was a creation of the year 1S16. The Senate was a long time In making this new bill, but I never for a moment grew discouraged. I never once had a doubt about the ultimate construction of a bill." "Of course you are familiar with the at titude of President Cleveland towards the bill. Could you say anything about that?" timidly inquired the reporter "es, I am familiar with President Cleveland's action," replied the Senator with some Irritation, "but I am not going to say anything to you about it. I have nothing to say concerning President Cleveland." "Cculd you talk about Senator Hill and his singular course in the Senate?" was the next query put with a degree of uncertainty that Senator Turpie could not but detect. "No. I could not talk about Senator Hill. either." -was the retort. "See here." he continued with warmth, "I am not going to taiK about those Washington people. What I have to say about them I will say in Washington and not in Indianapolis. I heard Senator Hill's speeches and replied to them. It can't make any difference to me what opinions people have about the Senate or benators. I have none to make public." "Did you see Senator Voorhees before you left Washington?" "Yes. I called at his rooms the day before I left and found him able to sit up. The Senator 13 on the road to recovery now. but for two or three weeks there was great alarm felt in Washington over his condition. He Informed me that as soon as he w&s able to travel he would come to In diana. I think it is his intention to take up campaign work immediately upon his arrival in the State." "Of course you will go Into the campaign as usual this year?" "Yes, I shall. I haven't missed a State campaign in seventeen years. I don't know just what plans the State committee has made for me, but whatever they are I shall carry them out I expect to speak every day and have no doubt about my strength." Senator Turpie thinks that the outlook for a new government building in Indianapolis is bright. He said: "The trouble seems to be here in the city. I am confident that if the citizens would make up their minds as to a location for the build ing they would get it. There will have to be an appropriation made by Congress and the amount should not be less than (500,000 after the Bite is purchased. When the building Is put up it must be of the best and it will cost a. big sum. I think it ought to be more centrally located than the pres ent building." Senator Turpie will make his annual visit to French Lick Springs next week. and will probably remain at the resort for a fortnight. After his return he says he will be ready ror the campaign. THE F K E X Z E L-1 1 A U P E U It 0 V. The Democratic Boss Carries a Political Knife for the Judge. The antagonism of John P. Frenzel and other Democratic leaders to Judge Harper, who is a candidate for re-election to the Superior Bench, is worrying the Democratic county committee. It is claimed that Frenzel's antagonism to Judge Harper is due to the fact that the court refused to appoint the Indiana Trust Company, of which Frenzel Is at the head, receiver cf Burnham s cafe. Judge Harper said he thought it would be best to appoint some man experienced In the cafe business, but finally consented to appoint the trust com pany, remarking afterwards, however, that he did not propose to make any more such appointments. This remark reached Fren zel's ears, and he demanded to know if the Judge had been correctly quoted. The Judge assured Frenzel's messenger that he had been correctly quoted. Frenzel now has a knife for Judge Harper, some of Frenzel's friends think. Light Artillery Benefit. The picnic at Armstrong's Park on Monday will be for the benefit of the Light Artillery Armory fund. This picnic was set for one day last month, but rain interfered with the affair. All the local military companies will be at the park, and the visitor who goes out early in the day will find entertainment lasting the entire day. During the day the Light Infantry and Company A will show the practical workings of the new drill regulations and the Knights of Pythias and the Patriarchs Militant will give their interesting tactics.
