THE -'INDLAKArCHS JOLmAL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1894.

you can only increase your revenue by multiplying jour Importations. If you inviezrt the tariff one-half, in order to maintain the volume of revenue receive! you

vut dcubla ycur Importations. If the txrift on that class, lor example, was 00 per Cfvit. under the old law and the Democratic party reduces It to O per cent., to get much revenue from the thirty-percent, tariff as you sot from the sixty-per-c.r.t. tariff you mu?t import double the n mount of those glasses into the I'nited States. Do you pee that, my fellow-eiti-2ens? V.'ith a reduction of duty, if you would even maintain the revenue now received, yot have got to increase importations, and the more j-ou Increase importat'on of the productions we make at home the les3 productions will be cnade at heme, aad the le?s product w make at heme the Jss wages will be paid at home and the labor will be employed. Which would you rather have, my fellow-citizens, CO p?r cent, tariff on that or 3) per cent tariff on it? (Cries of 'sixty.') You would rather have the higher tariff than lower wages. "There are two ways, my fellow-citizens, to preserve the American market to the American people. One is to put protective duties high enough uion the foreign products to make it dilTlcult to bring them in. That is the best way. That is the American way. That is the Harrison vay. (Applause. a cry 'and the IMcKinley way.') Hut there is another way, and the ether way la to preserve this American market and stop foreign lmjortation of competing products Is to reduce American wages. We can hold this market If our, workmen will work as cheap as the foreigner will work. The Republican ilea prefers to make it harder for the xorei'm product to come into this country rather than to make it harder for our American free men to live in this country. "Hut they say, after giving the severest condemnation to their own biil, and nobody can. bo more- severe on their own bill than . they have been themselves, they say, after all. it is beaer than the law of 1802; that U. t is better than omt law: better than the law you signed. Mr. President. Better for what? (A crv. "Nothing.") Delter for who? (A cry. "England.") I see the cor!e have frot it and they are ready to vote now. (Applause.) I would like somebody to tell us what American interest it benefits except the Su?ar Trust and the "Whisky Trust. What industries other than those I have named will it stimulate? Tell me that, men of Indiana? What new fires will It build in anv part of this country under our flag? Te!l me that, men of Indiana. Whit ?.ddifonaI labor will it emXioy? Tell me. men of Indiana. (A cry. "It will give the militia more to do.") I e the people of Indiana understand! this Question fully and are ready to vote. THK REJOICING ABROAD. "Has there been any rejoicing in this country since that bill became a law? Have you heard of any? The only rejoicing that has been heard anywhere has been beyond the seas and under another flag. And why are they rejoicing In another Jurisdiction over that law which has brought sorrow and distress to a million homes In the United States? Why, they ay thev have reduced duties. Twenty per cent, reduction in wages, I im told, in Indiana,' 30 per cent, reduction In some branches' of industry In Indiana. That Is the effect of reduced duties. We don't want any more of it. And yet they say the war has just begun; that they haven't cut nearly as much as they intend to cut. That is wh-.t the President says. That is "what Mr. Wilson says. That is what the great Democratic party of the country pays. That they have only just begun. ."Well, If they have only just begun, what Js to be your verdict this year abcat giving them any more opportunity to cut deeper into the life of the industries of this country? (A voice, "Turn thsm out.") "Well. I - believe you are going to do it. There are a good many who could be spared. "Well now, my fellow-citizens, what have they done by way of reducing duty? What constitutes their boasted reduced duty? Well, they have reduced the tariff on leaf tobacco and Havana cigars $1.4:54,000; they iive reduced the tariff on liquor more than they have reduced the tariff on French brandy from $2.50 per gallon un-i-r th law of 1800 to $1.80 under the new tariff law; they have reduced the tariff on laces and embroideries, based upon the Importations of last year, $1,587,000; they have reduced the tariff on silk dress goods, plushes, velvets, etc.. ,72:,0;O. and they have reduced the tariff, workingmen of Indiana, on ostrich feathers and plumes $Go.0C0; they have i reduced the tariff on kid gloves $73,m0; on china ware. $2,233,000; on paintir and statuary, J432.COU; on pearl buttons, i22i.0ii); on plate and cut glass, $215,000; on opium for smoking, $100,000. and on jewelry. $76,K. How a reduced tariff on these . things will relieve the poor man.' "What comfort these changes will bring him. Every one Is an article of luxury. Not one has any place In the list of necessities. All are articles which are chiefly used by the wealthy end the best conditioned men of our country- Yet these reductions had all to be made to give the Democratic Congress en excuse for putting a. duty on sugar, a necessity to every household in -the land, that they might enrich the trust, already fattened as they are by its Ill-gotten gains. What comfort it will bring to the average 'American home, the modest households of the great masses of the people to be told that the duties -have been reduced on laces nnd silks, on Ha van n a cigars, cn cut glass, on. Jewelry, and velvets and Liquor and opium. Yet such la the compensation the American people are given, for me added fcurdea of the one cent and a half more upon every pound of sugar they consume. "Then, my fellow-citizerv, they repealed the reciprocity clause of lie law of 1SDQ, a law under which the publican administration made most valuro'.e treaties with several of the great countiies of the world. Our trade with Ouba. under the treaty made by the administration of President 31arrison Increased from eleven to twentytour millions annually, and with Rrazil from seven to sixteen millions, while, with a number of other countries a large' and growing trade has been secured. All this Is surrendered for tax on sugar, and 1t la already announced that some of these countries are bout to Inaugurate retaliatory duties against the United Spates for the abrogation of this treaty. THE SUGAR TARIFF. "Uut, my countrymen, j there was one treaty that they did not abrogate by the law of 1S91. That was the treaty of reciprocity with the Sanlwich Islands. I had no reference to the V.dt: incident when I epoke of the reciprocity treaty with the Sandwich Islands. I treaty made In lSrTT made free from the the United States in tain concessions that gave to the United was speaking of the where by sugar' was Sandwich Islands to consideration ofcerthe Sandwich Islands fctates. Migar was made tree. When we passed the law of and made all sugars below and including No. 16 Du-:ch standard free, that wiped ut the free sugar to the Sandwich Islands. We gave free ?u?ar from all countries; but when the Democratic party in the law of 1S31 put a tarlfi. cf 40 per cent, upon sugar, then they restored the commercial reciprocity with the Sandwich Islands and gave to those island. free suxar into our markc:. ana a vt per ce:u. trmn to me sugar of all the rest of tne world. That Is. they gave the sugar producers of the Sandwich Islands a bounty of six millions of dollars annually. The su;.rar producer of the SandTvicn uianus pocKeis tne Tanrr or ) per cnt.. while upon all other sugars that 4) per cent, goes into the treasury of the United States. 1 do not question, my fe!low -citizens, nor discuss the propriety of maintaining that treaty Inviolate, but there were other treaties made by the United States quite as sacred. When we made the tariff of lSi0 and took away all tne tariff fiom sugar, we gave to the cane producers, and the beet producers, and the map.e producers a bounty equivalent -lo the tariff, and we said In that law that bounty should stand fcr fifteen years. That Is all wiped out by the law of 1XU. and not wen -the bounty of this year is given to the crop that nas already teen supervised by the government of the United States by this law. This is taken from the sugar producers of the country. What I there more sacred in a reciprocity treaty Kvjou can easily have thebciJ if fciiii you only insist upon it.

with a foreign country than in a solemn j

comnact made with our citizens? "My fellow-citizens, r.ow Just one word to sliow you the effect of the new law and the law of K). its effevt upon the farmers of this country, as contrasted with the law or IkSJ. I want to call your attention to the imports of agricultural products from' Canada in 1&) under the law of 1SS"5. and th?n the imports of agricultural products irom Canada under the law or isy. me imports Irom Canada into the United. States in lXyo were greatly in excess of the imports in 1S32 on the following at tides: The imports of horse in 18'J were, valued at $lS7.0i; in 1S12 they were valued at. $1.01M.0im. nearly 5 per cent, decline; horned cittle imports in 1S1. $10Mj0; imports in 1S32, S21.; the Imports of poultry in 183) wer? $Pio.0U': In 1SI2. under the law of 181v, $U.MX); the imports of eggs in 1 amounted to $1.793.nt): in ISOt. valuation $492,0X: wool in r23.i.ftM in value: in 192. under the law of 1S9, $200,135 in value; the imports of flax In 1S0O, $i:r... and in 1&H2. $11 2.1. -00: the imports of barley In 1800 were $l.f;82.'. and in 1802 the value dropped to only $1.334.i00: the Imports of peas in 1890, $7M.0O; ir 1892. $30.0; the imports or nay in ISO. $922,000; in 1892. $."9a.000; the Imports of milt in 1S90 were $149,000. and in 1892 $20; the imoorts of iotatoes in 1S90 were $3S.0CO, and In 1892 $41,000: the imports of vegetables in 1890 were $Sa000. and In 1892 $C8,-. 000; in other words the total Imports of ag ricultural products in lwo. under the law or 1883, w ere $i0..'20,000, while the imports of the s-ame products from the same country In 1892, under the law of 1S90, were $4,307.000. ' IMPORTS FROM CANADA. "This was a gratifying difference of $C,4&1.C00 saved to the productions of our own people, and this difference was all In favor of the American farmer. Every dollar , of it remained at home and went into the pockets of the American farmer, not to be hoarded by him. but to find its way into quick and general circulation. Has there anything Wrong about it? The new law makes it easier to import agricultural products from Canada than It was under the old law prior to 180J. Do you approve cf such a policy as that? Nobody appreciates it more than the p?ople of Canada. Lie truth is, as to many agricultural prod ucts, the law of 1894 Is less than the Canadian tariff. A comparison of the two laws touching the agricultural products is an Interesting study. The Kmpire, a paper published in Canada, under date of ten days ago, says that comparing these two tariffs, the Canadian and American, tne American Is in many respects lower. This Indicates that In a good many lines tne Canadian farmer Is better protected than tne American larmer. f armers or inaiana, how do you like that? If our market is to be practically opened up to their market. tnen we ought to have the same privileges In the Canadian market that the Canadian farmers'have in ours. The Canadian Jourml, - published in Montreal. Canada, under date of Aug. 17, 1894. speaking of the re moval of the tariff on lumber by the newlaw, says: 'Canada has always sold largely of her forest products to the United States. The removal of the duties Is certain to prove healthful to the Canadian inter ests, and it will place them in -a better condition to compete in the Amer ican market; the hay industry promises to become more extensive as a consequence of the tariff legislation Just completed atWashington. to on the article of oarley. the Canadian farmer will profit, and as a result of the passage of the Senate bill he 'Is certain to get a higher price for barley tnis season than he otherwise would have received. The new American tariff on bar ley Is one-half what it was under the tariff of 1890. This amendment Is clearly in favor of Canada and against the United States.', "The Globe, published in Toronto,, under date of Aug. 15. says: 'The Increase of the duty on hay from $2 under the tariff of 18.1 to $4 under the tariff of 1891 reduced the hay exported to less than half its for mer proportions. In the years 1891 and 1S92 the American farmer certainly has noth ing to complain of. It will thus be seen that the American market, the ' richest In the world and the most profitable In the world. Is made easier to the Canadian farmer to enter with his products, while the Canadian market, by the Canadian tar iff, does not give to the "American farmer equal reciprocal privileges.' Is It any wonder that, in view of all these outrages upon our farmers, even President Cleveland, with all h!s love for" free wool and cheap products, should have been forced to cry out against the tariff law? You will remember the paragraph he devoted to the farmers In his letter to Mr. Wilson. Under these circumstances It will excite our won der: 'The Democrats are willing to depart from this the most Democratic of all prin ciples free raw materials and the incon sistency of such proposed departure should be criticised. How can wre face the people after Indulging in such outrageous desecra tion and violation of principles? et. In spite of the Inconsistency, and in spite of it all. the President did not have the back bone to veto that outrageous measure. In anticipation of free wool the farmers of this country have been enjoj-lng practically free-trade Drices ever since 1SD2. All this bill hfls been fTlscounted. and you have been i receiving for your products practically the free-trade prices in the free-trade countries of the world. PREDICTION OF EVIL, REALIZED. "Is it any wonder, my fellow-citizens, that the result of the Democratic administration and of the Democratic Congress should be just what we have found it? It was precisely what was predicted from this platform in 1892. Every prediction of evil has been realized. Not a single one has failed this people In the nineteen months since the Democratic party came into power. How could it have been otherwise? What elements elected Grover Cleveland and the Democratic Congress? They were not united upon a single great principle. Free-silver men voted for Mr. Cleveland. and men who were opposed to any coinage or use of silver voted for him. The greatest inflationist voted for him. and the gold hug of wall street, as he is called, voted for him; the paper-money advocate voted for him: the State bank money advocates voted for him; the single-tax man voted for Turn, and thousand who were opposed to all such vagaries voted for him. The protectionist Democrat voted for him. for he did not believe his party would ever destroy protection; and the free-trade Democrats, who believed that all the. custom houses In the country should be torn down and demolished, voted for him. The Democratic pensioner voted for him. and the man who belie ved that all pensions should be abolished voted for 'ilm. Men with all and every variety of view. came,- and they came to administer, what ccuid you have expected otherwise than what you have got? You cannot have wise legislation unless you have a united and inieliigeat and patriotic Congress. They are not all now for the party. Why. da you know, my fellow-ciflZens. they not only are seeking to break down the protective tariff and cut deeper into the vitals of cur industrial life, but they are seeking to interfere with the pensions of the country. I n?v?r have believed In excessive pensions, but I believe that my comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic who have been d'.sacieJ are entitled at the hands of the country they saved to generous treatment and just pensions; and whenever one of my comrades has been put upon the pension roll of the government I insist he shall stay there until, after the fuilest investigation and an open trial. It has been determined he is unworthy ta be there. I do not want the presumption of fraud to be raised against him. let the government prove tae fraud. Why they talk about the mag ritlcnt army that fought In the nohlest cause for which mankind even contended, tiey talk about that army as if i: was an army of looters that went In to loot the. treasury of the United States went In for pensions. Why, there isn't one of the (Jrand Army of the Republic in the State cf Indiana who ever thought of a pension when he enlisted in the army. He went in from, the purest and highest motives of patriotism, and fouRht that n harm might, come to this Republic, and he is entitled to be treated by every administration of the government as the savior of the country, and the saviors of the flag des?rve from the government they saved. (Applause.) "My fellow-citizens, how do the farmers like it to have a bushel of wheat this year buy ten pounds of sugar; in 1-892 a bushel of wheat bought twenty pounds of sugar. A pound of wool this year buys thr?e pounds of sugar: a paund of wool in 1S92 bought seven pounds of siiijar. How do you like it. farmers of Indiana? (Applause; a voice. 'Give it to them.') THE INCREASED SALARIES. "They have cut down the expenses of the government, but they have done it by cutting down pensions, and you know at a time like this, when they are cutting down pensions, and when everybody is poor, v. hen everybody's income is falling, and when distress Is manifest everywhere, they go to work anil increase the salaries of Democratic officials. At a time like this, when we don't collect by $70.0ix0X a year as much as we expend; when we have to go out and borrow $.0,GCO.OOO to keep up the running expenses of the government, they hive increased the salaries of their public officials. They increased the salary of the Uirst Assistant Secretary of State from $3.to $4..!V)'): they have increased the salary of the ministers to ' Switzerland and Portugal from VX0o to $6.r,v; thev have iner?aed the salary of th? minlsrer to Belgium, a former Iw partner of the Vi-e President, from 7,V to $1')..M; the minisrrs to Nicaragua and Costi Rica wre for the first time Riven secretaries of leg-ttinn at annual cos; of $J.'J, six auditors of tne

Treasury Iepartment were increased from $3.60u to $4,0uu, and the salaries of many other officials in th consular service and elsewhere were largely increased. This, my fellow-citizens, may not be excessive, but any advancements in salaries by a government whose receipts have been diminishing, and whose reserve has drained, and whose people are In distress is manifestly unjust and inexcusable. Economy, which is rigidly practiced by all of the people, should be rigidly practiced by the representatives of the people In the

Congress-of the United States. "Thev talk, my fellow-citizens, about the surplus. They say. that when President Harrison came into office that President ieveland left him $180.(M.OOU of a surplus. Well, there Is some truth about that. I will explain to you how he happened to leave it there. But let us see about this surplus we hear so much about in the Democratic press. When Mr. Arthur took his office as President there were in round numbers $170.()00,0u. and when Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated, he succeeding Mr. Arthur, we had in the treasury $159,000,000 of what Is called surplus. When ex-Pre?l-dent Harrison was inaugurated and Mr. Cleveland went out. there were $1S3.C00.ix of a surplus In the treasury, and when Mr. Cleveland entered upon his second term, when he succeeded Mr. Harrison, he found $124,000,000 of a surplus in the public treasury. President Harrison's administration did have $59,000,000 to start with more than President Cleveland's, on the 4th of March, 1S!)3, but this -was because President Harrison, wdth proper regard to public duty and the Nation's obligations. Instead of. hoarding the money in the public treasury, or keeping It In bank, paid off the obligation. of the government and reduced them more than $233,000,000, net including interest. Mr. Cleveland, during his first term, paid off $143,000,000 as against Harrison's $233,000,000. It will be remembered that he refused and persisted in refusing to pay that much off until Congress put a resolution, making him do it. He didn't pay as much of the public debt in hia first term by , $89,000,000 as Mr. Harrison did during the four years that he was President. Had Mr. Cleveland ?aid off as much of the public debt as Mr. Iarrlson he wouldn't have lef as much In the public -treasury for the incoming Harrison administration by $30,000, COO as President Harrison' left his successor. These are ficts, the facts about the much talked of surplus. TUB TRKASURY AT PRESENT. "But we had better be thinking not about the past of the treasury as about the present condition of the treasury. That is the point of central interest. That is the point of real danger. Our treasury is being drained while our people are being robbed of their employment. The government has not only got poor, but the people have got poor, and while they have been running the government, the governed people have been running in debt. And the way out of it is the duty of the statesman; it is the practical question of the hour. I might go on and show you how-the receipts of the government commenced diminishing as soon as the election was over in 1892. We haven't collected as much because we haven't done as much business; and we haven't done as much business because everybody was afraid of business and of the future. No man is going to put his money Into one end of the factory if he doesn't reasonably know what he is going" to get for It when It goes out at the other end of the factory. And the people of this country might Just as well understand -that capital doesn't work without profit any more than labor works without wages. . "The law of 1890 waf. made for the American people. Whatever mistakes there may have been In it, they were mistakes that are all In favor of the American home, the American fireside and American prosperity. No one can point to a aingle industry under that law where wages were too high. Eet us,ttop generalizing and go Into particulars. What was the matter wirh the law of' 1890?' The only matter that I know of was that in the two and a half years that It was in operation, and before the election of 1S92. every workshop in this country .was running at its full capacity. Every worklngman In this country was employed, not one day in the week, but six daj's in the week. (Applause.) And every worklngman In this country was receiving better wages than he ever had received in all our history before. How is It now? (Iaughter. Cries of "Soup houses, charity stores.) Our present embarrassment, my fellow-citizens, does not come from too little money or too much money, nor from the character of the money now in use. Our difficulty is to get the money we have into circulation. Our money is all good, whether it be gold or silver; whether It be national bank notes, or greenbacks, or treasury notes, or the gold or silver certificates. It is all good. To get the money out among the people is the serious problem to-day. To do this we must not only have something to sell, but be able to find somebody to buy. No matter what we have to sell. If there is nobody able to buy, but whowants it, we must keep it. If we are compelled to keep it we suffer the loss. In whole or 4n part, of what it cost us to produce it. So long as we cannot part with what we have with profit; we are not likely to produce more of It. If we stop producing we will not need labor, and if we do not require labor we will not employ it. And then wages are stopped one great factor in the distribution of money is stopped. This, my 'countrymen, is our trouble to-day. I TROUBLE IX A NUTSHELL. "The banks are full of money. Money was never more plentiful and less employed than it is now. It is because it Is not employed that we have this stagnation in business which distresses the country, and the reason it is not employed is because an Invitation to safe and profitable investment is not presented. Money will not be employed unless industry is believed to be on a permanent and profitable basis. Money will be Idle and hoarded away so long as labor Is idle. And did it ever occur to you that labor will remain Idle until it can be employed with sure advantage to the employer? If the circulating medium of the country was double what it is to-day. it would be no easier for us to get it than it is now, and we would have to get It by the same procesjes. We must give something for It. and if what we have to give Is not wanted by anybody, and nobody is found willing or able to buy it, the money will remain locked up as it now Is. What we need is wise industrial, financial and fiscal legislation, and then, more than all, we want a certalntyAhat It Is to stand Uncertainty breeds distrust, and distrust paralyzes the arm of industry. It Is not the lack of money, nor the kind of money that is our trouble; it Is the lack of prosperous manufacturing and an absence of confidence In the party managing the government, and a want of faith in the future. When confidence and hope are everywhere manifested, manufacturers are busy and labor Is employed, and when both are en gaged, the one with a fair profit to the other with ralr wages, then agriculture is prosperous and money has free and healthy circulation. "Mr. President, the. prosperity of this country cannot be permanently stopped. L.et me repeat, the prosperity of this country cannot be permanently stopped. It may be delayed. It may be checked, It may be curtailed 'as it has been and now is. but no party in a government for the people and by the people can long stand In its way. The party whose administration and legislation and policy retards or destroys pros perity will Itself be destroyed. That is what we are engaged In now. Every victory against the Democratic party as it Is now managed is a step to the resumption of that business and that return to pros perity wnicn is everywhere so much need ed and so longingly prayed for. It is the bow of promise to the business world, and stimulates our industries and labor with hope, courage and confidence and brings us nearer to tne return or the good times from w"hlch we ran away In 1892. "The Democratic party is a remarkable party. Jt Is for anything to get power, and then it is never ror anything which got it power. It was for the free and unlimited coinage of silver when It was out of power, and you have never heard of It since It, came Into power. I mean you never heard of it in Congress. They have talked it on the stump. They were for free raw materials when they were seeking your votes, and when they possessed the power to give the country free raw materials they failed. They posed as the friend of the laboring man In 1892, and yet in the bill of 1894 they have given to labor the deadliest blow it ever had. They p9ed as an enemy of the trusts ever since. Will you. my fellow-citl-votes; upon the confession of their leaders they have been the willing tools of the trusts ever since. Will you, my fellow citiiens, give that party two years longer to disturb and distress the people of the United States? If this year you elect a Republican House of Representatives, then the opportunity for evil by the Democratic party stops on the 4th day of March next. If a Democratic Congress or House of Representatives !e elected, then for two years, or until the clftse of Mr. Cleveland's present term, they can continue the war against the Industries and the happiness of the American people. . I bid you. my countrymen, put on to your ballots next November what you think and what you believe Is best for the public good, and best for the individual happiness of yourselves and all the people. I thank you." THE MEETING DISBANDS. Tha c!o?e of th speech was marked by undoubted signs of approval. Then General Harrison proiosed three cheers, which were Clven with a force already described. In another moment, as the ex-President turned to congratulate the speaker. ' the audience burs, ort iif three cheers of like proportions for Harrison. They did not want to

be dismissed and wanted more oratory, but that was not' possible. Various local orators were Called upon, out no one wanted the task of keening un the pace that had been set by Harrison and McKlnley. The band struck up the "Starspangled Banner." with variations, the tune coming In with a fittinjr close to the great occasion. 'Hundreds crowded forward

to shake hands with the two men, who descended from the stage to a reporters table on the floor. They were besieged here for some minutes until calhl away to .take the carriage that was to convey them back to the hotel. General Harrison showed his health and agility by springing from the table ' to the stage again. He went down stairs through a crowd arm in arm , with McKInley and they , entered the carriage with cheers ringing in their ears. The march to the hotel was by the same indirect way and was through a large cowd of admiring people. As the procession turned on Meridian street north the Governor and y General Harrison fell to admiring the monument. From its lofty top was a crowd of reople looking down. The carriage deposited the statesmen at the hotel and they went at once to their room, where dinner was served. Governor McKInley left on a special train over the Big Four for Columbus. Theodore Shockney. who was a delighted listener at the hall, had telegraphed ahead that the Governor would speak for a few minutes at the station of his town. Judge Monks saw to It that stations in his county were notified. One of the interesting figures at the hall was a prominent' citizen of Butler county, Ohio. Mr. Becketfc; who wore a coat patterned after the. shape of wealthy men of the early part of the centurj'. cut away in the front of the skirt and with brass buttons. He was a friend of Lincoln and accompanied him to the White House when he was inaugurated. He spent the first nisht at the White House as one of the first Republican President's citizen body guard. He was an intimate friend and counselor of Oliver P. Morton. No one in the hall enjoyed the proceedings of the afternoon more than he. Though well advanced In years, he has the appearance of a man of vigorous health and strong mentality. Another , Butler county notable p'resent was Lee Morey, who was a member of the Fifty-first Congress that made the McKInley bill a law. Chairman Gowdy was greatly elated at the success of .the meeting. He was so occupied in getting everything In readiness that he was too tired to be present and so rested during the speeches. Secretary Seeds shared in the elation over the occasion. t GOVERNOR 3IATTHEVS'S CALL. He Hn the- Ohio Governor Vtlt the Stiitchoiise. Governor McKInley spent a busy morning meeting people. While he was still at breakfast. Governor Matthews called and asked him to go to the Statehouse. He consented and was driven there in company with his private secretary, Mr. Boyle. The Governor of Indiana did the honor in a way worthy of the' State. th differences of politics counting for nothing against the social amenities. The parlors were thrown open and word spread that Governor McKInley was present "among the officials of the Statehouse, all Democrats. They called upon Mm and were cordial in their greetings. Later, Governor McKinley called on General Harrison at his house on North" Delaware street. Then he took a carriage ride, over the city. It was after 12 o'clock when he reached the hotel and lunch was at once ordered for him. The ex-President soon called for him, crowding his way through the mass at the door cf the hotel and In Its lobby. When they, were ready to repair to the hall -the way to the waiting carriage was opened by policemen commanded by Chief 'bf Police Powell. The speakers were accompanied by Thomas H. Nelson, of Terre Haute. The three entered 'the carriage and the procession started with a second carriage containing the Ohio officials who were noted on the stage. Chairman Dick, of the - Republican State central committee, was also in the party. The head of the procession, which was tn charge of General Knefler and his staff on foot, was the- Richmond Bugle Corps in natty costumes of white and blue. They were followed by the McKinley Club, of Terre Haute, on foot, wearing: tall hats and white linen dusters.. They had a band with them, the famous Ringgold's which was heard at the State fair the week before. They also had a badge beside that of their club bearlaff the words "Robert J., Z:0t" referring to the sensational race performance of the pacer in Terre Haute. There -was a decided tinge of satisfaction in thus reminding Indianapolis that the glory or the Indianapolis track was of short duration and was retaken at the first opportunity of the Terre Haute track. Following the McKinley Club was the Republican Club of Marion, and the Morton Club or Crawfordsville, both headed by bands. By the time the head of the procession had reached the hall the seating capacity was largely exhausted, and It fell to the sev eral thousand who had waited to see the street demonstration to crowd the aisles, and many could not get in at all. mis CROWDS IX TOWX.. ItjiilroutlM Ill-ins; In 7,000 People to Heiir McKInley. The State at large sent fully seven thousand persons to the city for the great (McKinley rally. The inpo'uring of the citizens of the State w-as mainly due to the efforts of the organizations in the various counties. The State has been so thoroughly organized that there is not a county seat and scarcely a hamlet that has not Us Republican club this year. These local organizations bestirred themselves to secure cheap rates to this city yesterday in order that all the people of the State might have an opportunity to see and hear the protectionist champion. In many Instances the local organizations raised a fund sufficient to guarantee to the railroads a given number of passengers and thus secure a low rate. This was especially true of cities close to Indianapolis. The Morton Club, of CraWfordsvilie, was active in this regard, and. by guaranteeing the road five hundred passengers, secured the exceedingly low rate of 73 cents for the round trip, and with this rate the club had not the least difficulty in securing the guaranteed number of passengers. Grant county sent a delegation of three hundred enthusiasts to the city and Howard county sent a like number. The EJwood delegation was decorated with badges of McKinley tin, and upon them was th; old familiar verse: "Protection's banner guard our land From England's greed and pauper pay, And when I play Great Brliain's hand Please take me for a blooming Jay." , The Union station was crowded all morning with the incoming delegations, and after half-past 4 In the afternoon the crowds be- - gan to reassemble to take trains for their homes. Bv 5 o'clock the station vras again Jammed throughout. Train sheds, rotunda and waiting,, room were crowded. .All of the railroads into the city carried extra coaches on all of their regular trains and in every Instance all the coaches w:exe filled, and in many cases they were filled to the very steps, and pulled into the station with m;n hanging on to the hand railing. The Jam at the station for a while yesterday evening, wher' triv crowds were returning, was almost equal i any day last week during the fair or tht "Last Days of Pompeii." The figures of the number of passengers brought in by a few of the roads will give an idea of the number of excursionists that came in- Th? Michigan division of the Big Four brought In 7S5. the P. & E. western division broucht in 390. the Cleveland division of the Big Four brought in 412. the Cin- . cinnatl division cf the Big Four brought in me .nicag uivimou oi me t'annanaie brought in 291.

Tiie State central committee yesterday secured a special train to carry Governor McKinley to the State line over the Big Four road, in order that he might have an opportunity . to make several short speeches; at way stations. The train was 1 laced under charge of W. T. Durbia, of

the State executive committee. Governor McKInley left last evening, about 5 o'clock. His political work for the rest of the campaign ties through the West, Northwest. East and South. He will be in St. Louis Oct. 1, Kansas, City the next day. then goes to Omaha. Lincoln, Des Moines, St. Paul and Minneapolis. Springfield.

The Governor has appointments at Pittsburg. Philadelphia and a number

of cities in New York, winding up at New j York citv. The last week of the campaign will include twenty speeches in Ohio. Cieiiernl 3Iitnon Called. Among the callers upon Governor McKinley yesterday morning was General Harrison, who happened to be there when an Indiana delegation called. The ex-President withdrew to a recess In the window, not wishing, presumably, to distract the attention of the callers from the Governor to himself. But some of the sharper-eyed callers saw him and he had to come out from his retreat. In the delegation was General Manson, who shook hands warmly with the ex-President as the latter said in a cordial way: "Here is one of the men who did not get enough fighting In the Mexican war. and had to take a hand in the last." The presence of General Manson reminded General Harrison of a campaign singing club in Crawfordsville. and he asked why it was not reorganized. He said that of course General Manson would be barred out, because one would as soon suspect the General of larceny as of singing. There were numerous pleasantries passed, and the impression that some had received from reports that the ex-Presidenc Is a "cold" man were removed forever. Some of the People - Here. Among the notable Republicans in the city yesterday were Major Crosier, of Madison, candidate for the next Legislature and county chairman; Louis Schneck, of Seymour, candidate for the State Senate from Lawrence and Jackson counties; G.
