reach across State lines and command the peace and enforce Its commands by using

the army ana navy, me exercise or this beneficent power by President Cleveland in denounced by the Chicago platform. There Is nothing In the exercise of this power vithtn constitutional limits which Impairs the rights and liberties of the citizens. A citizen who has a grievance has two ways of seeking redress, and only two. If there are unwise laws ne may discuss and de nounce them with the utmost liberty of speech, and prevail upon his fellow-citizens . to unite with him to have them repealed or amended by thecustomary and lawful methods. That la the only way In a govern ment UKe ours to get rid or unwise jaws, lr one's rights are unlawfully invaded, the only means of redress Is by a resort to the courts, which have been set up by the peo ple to settle controversies between citizens, To allow the individual, or any number of individuals, to right their private wrongs Dy a resort to violence, is to assert the right of private war. which exists only in barbarous communities. When incendiary speech leads to acts of violence, the only remedy is lawful force. If liberty becomes lawlessness and the nana grenade and the torch are suostuutea for legal methods of redress, the answer of every civilized government must be a short shrift and a strong rope. There 13 no liberty without law, and no nation is worthy of the name that will not enforce Its laws. No party has asserted and defended the right of free speech with more vigor and persistence than the Republican party. And it sets its face like flint against, all persons and all combinations of persons who defy the laws or oppose the execution of the laws. For the first time In the history of the Nation the spirit of anarchy, masquerading in the name of a great political party, has thrown down its gauntlet and defied the intelligence and patriotism of the people. Let us accept the challenge, and show to the world that a Nation with such an origin and such a history as ours Is able to preserve its institutions. That Is our first and paramount duty In this ' election. Under our form of government the duty of preserving our' institutions, of enacting and enforcing laws, belongs to the officers selected by the people. Sometimes the public affairs are managed by men selected by the Democratic party; then the Republican party comes into power. This government is an immense machine. It taxed the wisdom of the wisest men the world ever saw to devise and set it up. It takes wisdom and watchfulness to run It. A locomotive engine is a splendid macnine, but it requires a skillful engineer to run it properly. A mischievous boy or a monkey may get into the cab and turn on the steam, and if left to themselves they will ditch it. So the practical question is: Which of the great political parties can be most safely trusted to manage the affairs of the government? And this question Is put to you with the understanding that you have Intelligence; that you know something of the history of the two great political parties, and remember how they have acted in time past. Why should you support the Republican party? Why should you support the Democratic p&rty? Because of the platforms they adopt? Not always. The Democratic party can write a very good platform of principles. Mr. Tilden wrote a platform for his party in 187(5 that was like a slice of the moral law. It was like Mr. Surface in "The School for Scandal" it was full to overflowing with the most noble sentiments. Platforms count for little. We hear of a pirate who sailed the seas with the Ten Commandments nailed to his mast; but he vas a freebooter Just the same. Confucius said when he was young and foolish he listened to a man's words and then gave him credit for good actions; when he grew older ard wiser he looked at a man's conduct, and after that gave heed to his words. Scr I take it with men and parties it is the same; it is conduct rather than profession which makes character. Assuming that the Democratic party has good intentions, has It the ability to give them effect? Can it keep and perform its good promises? I say, in the light of, recent history, that the Democratic party will not and cannot conduct the affairs of this government properly. It has not been 'able to do it once in thirty yers, principally because the people will not trust it; and, again, because when they have trusted it they have been betrayed. I wish it understood that I am not framing an indictment against Democrats as citizens. With the voters of this Nation about equally divided betwen the two great parties, a man is worse than a fool who would say that one-half of his fellowcitizens are knaves. The Republican party lias no monopoly of the saints; and all the sinners are not in the Democratic party. Personally, I should like to exchange some of our scamps for some honest Democrats. We are trying parties as parties. The case on trial and now at Issue is the case of The Republican Party vs. The Democratic Party, and not Republicans vs. Democrats. LEAVING OUT THE PEPPER. As an advocate holding a brief for the Republican party I accept the issue so made up. There are two ways of presenting this case. There Is the fog-horn style, abounding in sound, fury and invective. I could stand here for an hour and doubtless evoke some applause by denouncing the Democracy. I used to resort to that style, but have given it up, whether because I am yielding to the mellowing influence of increasing years, or because I have more sense, I cannot tell. When Governor Hoadly began his first canvass In Ohio his speech was full of vituperation. After his first performance he went to the home of a venerable politician, by whom he was entertained. He noticed that the old gentleman, while exceedingly voluble in his remarks concerning the weather and the crops, had nothing to say about the speech. Finally." Hoadly asked the old gentleman what he thought of It. "I will tell you a story," said his host; "an old reprobate Joined the church over In West "Virginia, and the first time he attended the prayer meeting he was asked to lead in prayer, j his cross and said: 'O Lord, bless the pore and the rich, especially the pore; may every pore man in the settlement have a bar'l of flour, a bar'l of meat, a bar'l of salt and a bar'l of pepper O! no. Lord, that's too much pepper!' " Hoadly took the hint, and in his future speeches he left out the pepper. , Peter was a belligerent apostle; he carried a sword and believed in cutting off ears. I could stand here and say mean things about the Democracy, and could, as Peter would say, stir up thei" pure minds by way of remembrance. I think Paul is the better model. Paul says, "Whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report if there be any virtue or anv praise, think on these things.' For good and obvious-reasons Democrats do not care to think of the pastvand I certainly suppose tfiat a Democrat who has been voting his party ticket for twenty or thirty years would get very little comfort in thinkine of the past, and still less in thinking of the future. The past is sacred. 'The toast-master at a banquet In a mining camp, who had left a bad record in the States, laid his revolver by his plate, with the remark that while the utmost liberty of speech was to be allowed, he wished the speakers all to understand that the past was sacred. So, for the present, let us resoect the tender susceptibilities of our Democratic friends and let by-gones be by-gones. Ancient history aside, then let us talk about recent events. The year 1884 Is a comparatively recent date. It Is a notable year in the Democratic calendar. That- was the year of the discovery of Grover Cleveland bv the Democratic party, and to hear some. Democrats talk, it would seem that ihey have mads" no new discovery since then. Hy a mere scratch Cleveland was elected to the presidency in that year. Havin? no Congress back of him. he was unable to procuse the enactment of any laws that pleased him. Fortunately for the country there was always a Republican House or a Republican Senate to obstruct him. There were two executive functions left to him he had the veto power, and he had charge of our relations with foreign powers. As to his vetoes, it is enough to say that he disgraced his office, belittled himself, and disgusted the country by his wholesale veto of meritorious pension bills. What about his foreign policy during his first term? Well, he had a row with the English minister. Mr. West, because, in a letter written by him to a decoy correspondent in California by the name of McCracken. he expressed doubt concerning the good faith of Mr. Cleveland's free-trade professions; besides that. Mr. Cleveland had no foreign policy. If he had, and did anything notable or creditable in that line. I should like to hear some well-informed Democrat tell about it. Oh. but he was a great civil-service reformer. Yes, he made great pretensions in that line when a candidate, and when in office he violated every pledge he had made, so that the mugwump papers East and West denounced him as a traitor to the cause. I think I have summed up pretty fairly the achievements of Mr. Cleveland as a statesman during his first term as President. Of course, there was his fishing excursion on Decoration day, but it is not necessary to enlarge upon that. That little incident opens up a small rift in his character, however, which shows that from . the time he was & Copperhead during the war till he became President he despised the Union soldier and the cause for which he died. The Buffalo bachelor, skulking behind a hired substitute, was Just the man to insult the widows and orphans of soldiers In his veto messages and to scatter dogfennel on the soldiers' graves on Decoration day.' Have I omitted any of the reditable things done by this Democratic

administration? I wish to' say all the good 1 can consistently with the truth. HARRISON AND CLEVELAND. Well, the first four years of Mr. Cleveland came to an end. And then came four years under Harrison, with prosperity at home and honor abroad. Did Chili maltreat American seamen, the demand for apology and redress was prompt, and "the apology and redress came quickly. Did Italy, with some haste, spiced with insolence, make a demand for reparation for injuries to Italian subjects at New Orleans, the answer came from Harrison: "Our government is just, but it cannot be bullied Into precipitate action; it will Investigate the facts and do what Is just." The whole affair was managed with the dignity that becomes a great nation. There was trouble about the seal fisheries with England. Harrison wrote the Bering sea treaty under which the subject of dispute was determined by arbitration. Commercial treaties were made with Germany and other nations, opening tneir markets to our farm products and manufactures. Everywhere,

at home and abroad, were seen and felt the beneficial influence of this master mind at W ashington. And at the same time Mr. Reed, with his ability to secure a lawful quorum, pushed legislation and enabled Congress to transact the important bus! ness of the Republic with disDatch. And then came the stampede of lxl-2. llow it came about it is hard to understand. It is very evident now that many who were led astray then are completely cured of tneir folly. The Democratic cry was: "Give us another chance just give us the government in all its branches, and we will inaugurate an era of prosperity that would dim the luster of the golden age itself." And the good people said: "Let the Democrats have another chance. Let them have the President, and the Senate and the House, so that theV can have their own way and give the country an administration of the true Jeffersonian Democratic stripe." What came of it? In foreign affairs a futile dalliance" with the former Queen of the Sandwich islands, a hot fit in which the coun try was pushed to the verge of war with England about a dirty swamp at the mouth of the Orinoco. That is the sum of Mr. Cleveland's later achievements in the field of diplomacy. How about home affairs? President Har. rison expressed the belief that Mr. Cleve land would not be able to manage his wild horses in Coniress. The tariff was to be rerormed. The Wilson-Gorman bill passed the Senate and House. The oantnng was dumped upon the door step . at the White Hoiisp. Pi land ordered them to take the brat away, declaring that it was the fruit of perhdy and dishonor. It became a law. notwithstanding the President's veto and is now in rorce at least, so much of It as is left after the Supreme Court had it in hand. See its beneficent results. During the year ending June 30, 1S95, our imports increaseu xu.uuu.uuu over the lmDorts of the previous year. Our agricultural exports aione were o,uuu,uuij less than they were the year lefore. making a balance against Harrison's administration t.tM ntr 000,000 of the national debt and left the Treasury full to overflowing. f!lpvf.lfln,!, administration hired a svndi cafe nf hankprs and paid them $10,000,000 commission for the u.ie or oonns, wnicn increased the national debt $200,000,000. It bankrupted the Treas- " iui-ieii me national aeot. it is the first time in the historv of h Na tion that a President has been compelled " "1 a 101 or Danicers to take charge of the Nation s finances. DEMOCRATIC INCAPACITY. It is another and striking illustration of the utter incapacity of the Democratic party for conducting the affairs of this Nation. It takes right thinking and good business sense to govern a nation. It Is the misfortune rather than the fault of the Democratic party that it lacks, capacity for consecutive thought and has no business ability whatever. During the last thirty years what party is it that has thought out and carried out the policies under which this Nation has made Buch astounding progress? In 1S60 a Democratic President thought and said that we had no power to coerce a State and save the Union. Mr. Lincoln put on his thinking cap and came to a different conclusion, and he thought out a way in which the Union could be saved. Leading Democrats and a Demo cratic ex-resiuent thought there would be more soiaiers irom tne North to fight for the South than for the Union. The Republican party thought differentlv. Whirh wa right? In 1S62 Democrats said we had no right to issue greenbacks, nor bonds to raise money xo carry on the war. In 1SG4 they thought the war was a failure and that there was no authoritv for pstahiishinir na tional banks; they thought we could not resume specie payments in 1S79; they thought we could not free the slaves nor incorporate the three amendments into the Constitution. In everv easf th Dcmnrata thought wrong and the Republicans thought i ik " u we nave naa some great thinkers as well as doers in our grand old party. Think over the list: Lincoln, Chase, the Shermans. Sumner, Sheridan, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Thomas. Logan. Morton. Harri son. Tom Reed their name is legion. Can our democratic rrienas match them? It is almost cruel to ask the question. And yet we should pity rather than upbraid them. They say they have done the beat thpv could. I wonder what would have happened il mey naa aone tneir worst, it is very mean to throw stones at a crinple, or to make fun of a man because he has a wen on his face. Democracy is aiT1ietei n-ith an incurable incapacity for conducting the business affairs of a great nation. A lady in a neighboring city sent her son away to school, and in due time she received a report from his instructor saying, among other complimentary things, that "John showed a remarkable inaptitude for study." The poor woman was delighted with the nign-sounamg words and exhibited the letter to her neighbors as an evidence of her son's proficiency. So we may say of the Democratic party that, during the last thirty years it has demonstrated its general inaptitude for public business. A party that has been in opposition for so many years has forgotten, if it ever knew how, to frame and carry out a constructive policy. A ram has a very thick skull resulting from his constant cultivation of his butting propensities. When I was a boy the village urchins used to amuse themselves by putting a cap on the end of a rail and poking it through the fence to see the old ram butt it. He never seemed to tire of it, and after each effort he would back off and look as wise as a Democratic orator when he delivers himself of some high-sounding denunciation cf the Republican party. The old party remains just the same, and the skull of the Democratic party is getting .thicker and thicker all the time. Goethe says: "Mules will be mules by the law of their mulishness. Then be advised and leave fools to their foolishness. What from an ass can be got but a bray?" Perhaps we have been expecting too much of the Democratic party. But haven't we experimented with them long enough? How many times do the people want to be fooled by their false promises and feeble performances? It is very expensive business. I know the country is tough. It has weathered the storm of a civil war and suppressed a Democratic rebellion. It has had eight years of Cleveland, and though sadly out of sorts, it will come out in good shape if the Republican party is restored to power. At Chicago they took their old hickory broom and swept away all their time-honored principles, and Cleveland In the bargain, but when their house was empty, swept and garnished, seven devils worse than th6 first entered and took possession. Populists, repudiationlsts and Anarchists the Peffers, the Tillmans, the Altgelds, the Bryans push time-honored Democrats from their stools and ask the country to place them in power. We cannot afford to do it. First, because they represent the Democratic party; and, second, because of the principles they avow. There is wailing In the Democratic household over their domestic infelicities. I respect a private sorrow. There are griefs with which a stranger should not medd:e. The stranger who mixes in a family quarrel as a peacemaker gets no credit for his good intentions, and generally comes out cf it In bad shape. But when the combatants make war on the bystanders, we have a right to take a hand. Not content with repudiating the saints and time-honored principles of his own party, Mr. Bryan wages war upon the credit, honor, the peace and prosperity of the country. AN APPEAL TO COMMON SENSE. The money question seems to me to be a very simple one to men who are Intelligent and honest. I am not going to read columns of figures to you, though I have them In abundance. I wish to make an appeal to that saving common sense of which the voters of this country are supposed to have a good measure. And you will bear with mc while I state a few of the facts and lessons of history which bear upon this question. As society progresses from savagery to civilization employments multiply. Instead of hunters and shepherds, we have the manufacturer, the employer, the employed, the buyer and seller, the borrower and the lender. A nation's progress and pros- i

perlty are measured by the diversity of its

interests and the number and volume ot Its business transactions. Monev is a nec essary agency in conducting business, and It has been called "a tool of exchange. it may be made of any material shells, copper, wampum, iron, gold, nickel or silver, provided always that it will be accepted as money by all the people who have use for it. It circulates that is. passes -from one to another in the channels of trade because and only when the person who receives it knows that it will not lose its value while he has "it. and that when he parts with it he can get its value in something else. If it circulates freely everywhere without question, it is a good tool of exchange, and business twill be brisk. If confidence in its permanent value is impaired, it circulates slowly, and business will be slow. Money Is the life blood of business, and sound, healthy business conditions depend upon its purity. After many centuries of experience, civilized mankind, without regard to climate, latitude or longitude, have agreed that the best materials to use for money are silver and gold. So long as gold is scarcer, harder to get and costs more labor to get it, it vlll be more valuable than other metals which can be got more easily and at less expense. Gold is now, and has been for centuries, of greater value than any other money metal. To get at the relative values of gold and silver, so as to ascertain just how many ounces of one should be given for an ounce of the other, has been a difficult matter. To do it exactly Is not possible. The best that can be done is to get as near to it as practicable. Each nation must determine it for its own people, but it must be done according to a law and rule which wise men of all nations recognize and act upon, and that rule is that the coinage or mint ratio shall, as nearly as possible, coincide with the commercial ratio the metals have in the markets of the world. This law and rule has been sanctioned by Isaac Newton, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and every leading statesman of every civilized nation, and it was never seriously challenged until, twenty years ago, the owners of silver mines began to denounce it: and now a Democratic candidate for President and a Democratic platform declare in effect that Newton, and Jefferson, and Hamilton knew nothing, and that wisdom resides alone with the silver mine owners and with the Peffers, Tillmans, Altgelds and Bryans. For barbarous or half-clvilized peoples It makes very little difference what the laws of other countries may be on the subject of money; but as soon as one nation's commerce touches the commerce of another it makes a great deal of difference. One historical instance will show this, though there are many others teaching the same lesson. When the Dutch settled on Manhattan island they found it convenient to adopt the currency system of the Indians; so they had three kinds of money strings of beads made out of oyster sheils, called wampum, beaver skins and silver, and the law fixed the ratio so much wampum or beaver for so much silver. After awhile the shrewd Yankees of Connecticut began to traae witn tneir uutcn neighhors. xney began the free coinage of wampum on the sly. They invaded Oyster Bay, raked up the oysters and manufactured wampum from the shells. They, bought what the Dutch had to sell and paid them with wampum; but when they sold the Dutch their wooden nutmegs and clocks and onions they accepted nothing but silver In payment. As a result the silver all left the Dutch and went to the Yankees, while the Dutch found themselves the owners of nearly all the wampum. There was a case where Gresham's law operated. The valuable money disappeared and there was a glut of cheap money, to the great disgust and injury of the community that permitted free coinage. And whether with wampum or silver the rule works Just the same. The fact that the Dutch laws made wampum a legal tender did not help the Dutch. To suppose that we shall be able to retain our gold coin when cheap silver is coined free is simple stupidity. The pledge of the Nation to keep what silver dollars we have on a parity with our gold dollars is the onlv thing that makes them worth more than 53 cents. This is a great burden on the government, but, with laws that will give us as much revenue as we had during Republican rule, the government can bear it. As matters now stand Mr. Cleveland's administration, with an empty treasury can barely keep up the government's, credit by mortgaging the future and issuing bonds. OTHER EXPERIENCES. We had an experience in this country with cheap money once, which many of you will remember, and most of you have read about it. Instead of silver and gold, we had wildcat money, which was something like wampum. I have some of it here. Issued by the Gramercy Bank of Lafayette and the State Stock Bank of Logaasport. We had them all over the State. This was free-banking wampum, and it cheated the people just as free-coinage silver will cheat them. These bills had one value here, another value in Ohio, they were worth still less in Pennsylvania, and finally became absolutely worthless. They were worth just what the people you offered them to thought the stocks upon which they were based were worth. And with free silver your dollar will be worth just what the silver in it is worth, and not a cent more. The only way to uphold the credit and honor of the" Nation and to promote fair dealing is to limit the legal-tender silver currency to the point where, without increasing the national debt, the parity now existing between gold -and silver can be maintained. - To Issue silver under a free-coinage, law would promote rascality. We have enough of it now. I do not share 'the opinion of some that the man or woman or corporation that lends me money at my request becomes the enemy of the human race when the time for repayment comes. If I borrow another, man's money and lose it in foolish ventures, it is my loss, and I am a rascal If I try to cheat him out of any part of his money. , There is comnkdnr that mnno-w i and hard to get. There is plenty of gold and silver and paper money in the land. yyuy is it noi in circulation? Jt is because the Democratic party have said in their platform that if they come into power they will enact a law that will COmnpl a man who lends a thousand dollars for a year to receive five hundred dollars in full payment. The man who has money wishes to use it, and he will use it whenever he is assured that the existing values of and money obligations wil'. not be impaired. nvajuuuy jinuws mai mo duik of business is done on credit, and when the man who lends is sure that he will tret his back, with lawful Interest, when it is due will lend freely. I close as I began, by remindlnar von that men and nations can onlv nrnsner hv civ. lng heed to the lessons of experience. vmen a Doy i naa a pet raccoon that used to come into my. bedroom In th wimmor nights. He wished to Investigate the lighted candle. He put one paw into the flame and took it out .suddenly; he repeated the experiment his other paw, with the same result.

Overrun, and Con trol tlie Santlwielt Islands. SEATTLE Wash., Sept. 4, H. G. Whitney, ex-Postmaster-general ot the Hawaiian islands, who has just arrived from Honolulu, reports a strong revival of the annexation feeling on the islands, and says it is greatly intensified through the belief that should Hawaii be annexed to the United States, the threatened Japanese trouble would be entirely wiped out by the abrogation of all existing treaties. By what is known as the Gibson treaty, entered Into with Japan about thirteen years ago, Japanese may pour into the Islands in unlimited numbers. They how number 25,000 and are coming, Mr. Whitney states, at the alarming rate of 3.000 a year. He thinks it only a question of a few years until Japanese will outnumber the natives and naturalized people, and in that case would cause serious trouble. They are already demanding the right of franchise, which, by treaty, is conferred upon them as soon as they can read and write the English language. SEAL PIRATES CAPTURED. Two British and One American Ships Captured In Alaskan Waters. WASHINGTON. Sept. 4. A telegram was to-day received by Captain Shoemaker, chief of the revenue cutter service, from Captain Hooper, at Unalaska, in command of the Bering sea patrol fleet, stating the cutter Perry had seized the British schooners Ainoka and Beatrice and the American schooner James G. Swan. All were caught pealing inside the prohibited area. The British schooners, according to orders, were turned over to the commander of the Brit ish ship Pheasant. The American vessel, no doubt, was sent to her home port, probably Sitka or San Francisco. These make live seizures during the present season. .

THE BRYAN CLAOUER

3HXGLES IV THE CROWD AT EVERY POINT TO START APPLAUSE. His Services Were In Great Demand at Elklinrt Where Enthusiasm Was Very Scarce. VETERANS FOR SOUND MONEY STROXG CLUB IX BOOXE COUXTY TO HELP DOWX JOE CIIEADLE. Secretary of State Owen Gives Mont gomery County Sllverltes Points to Think About. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART, Ind., Sept. 4. The reception given Candidate Bryan and wife and Governor Matthews in this city yesterday was disappointing to all Popocrats in attendance. The committee on arrangements got into an inextricable snarl over the reception, each one being so anxious to get some personal glory out of the affair that he wanted it conducted in his own peculiar way, and at some place that would shed additional luster on him. There was much confusion in transferring the guests from the train to a carriage, but it was finally accomplished, and Mr. Bryan and his wife were driven to a hotel. The demonstration was by no means enthusiastic, and every cheer for Bryan was met by another correspondingly strong for McKinley. The regular and excursion trains brought in 1,603 people, and many farmers came in from the adjacent country. A very liberal estimates places the number present at five thousand, and a very large proportion of that number was made up of Republican voters, women and children. The absence of enthusiasm was the most noticeable feature, and the "gret applause" and "laughter" so plentifully inserted in the press reports were scattering, Indulged In by comparatively few, and, for fear the crowd would not know when to applaud, R. M. Johnson and an old man named Bradehaw, who is following the Bryan party and who claims to come from Kentucky, invarlablv sprang to the front and gave the cue. The most disappointing part of the affair was the candidate's speech. His address was a rabid harangue, an attempt to array every man who hasn't a dollar against the man who has, and the West against the East. When he left the grounds for the train which conveyed him to South Bend, he had no escort, rand the crowd did not follow him or make any demonstration whatever. Aside from three or four saloons and a couple of lunch stands there were no decorations in the city, and no municipal recognition whatever of the advent of Mr. Bryan. Not a factory nor a business house closed, and while it was regarded by Republicans before Mr. Bryan's arrival as necessary to secure the appearance here of some celebrated speaker to offset Mr. Bryan's effort, this is now regarded as almost or quite unnecessary. OWEN AT CBAWFORDSVILLE. His Sound-Money Talks Sets Democrats to i Thinking. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 4. Hon. W. D.' Owen, Secretary of State, spoke on the political issues of the day this evening at the Y. M. C. A.hall. Mr. Owen was escorted from the lotel to the hall by the Morton Club, drum corps, bicycle club and band. The speaker was greeted by a large audience and was introduced by Judge Thomas. He presented the sound-money question in a forcible manner and had many Democrats to hear him. One of them remarked that the - speech had put new light on the subject and now he would do some thinking. Mr. .Owen is a favorite in this city, having preached here a long time ago. His financial views will have much weight with thoughtful people. A McKinley club was organized at Newmarket last night with over ninety members. The new officers are: T. Y. Hall, jr., president; William Parson, vice president; Ed Hampton, second vice president; John L. Warbritton, secretary; John M. Glover, treasurer. VETERA S' M'KISLEY CUB. Old Soldiers In Boone County Can't Stcnd Joe Cheadle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., Sept. 4. The manner in which the old soldiers are rallying to the support of McKinley and sound money is an inspiration to the younger generation of Republicans here. Last night they held a mass meeting here and organized a veterans' McKinley club, with 285 names enrolled. Many of those present made, eloquent speeches, which breathed undying devotion to the Republican party and Its principles. Private Joseph B. Cheadle came in for several hard raps. Nicholas Bennett was eleted president of the club, John W. Skiff secretary, W. H. Hostetter treasurer. Vice presidents for each township were appointed, and an effort will be made to bring as many of the veterans throughout the country into the organization as possible. Every member pledges himself to do all in his power to help elect McKinley, Mount and Landis. ' Johnson's Campaign in Rush. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RUSHVILLE Ind., Sept. 4. Congressman Henry U. Johnson has had a highly satisfactory week's campaign in Rush county. Opening with a big meeting at Carthage Tuesday night, he spoke to another Wednes day night at Arlington. Yesterday after noon he addressed a large open-air gath ering at Milroy and spoke to-night at New Salem. To-morrow afternoon he closes In Rush county at Falmouth. Next week he will give to Fayette county and the week following to Franklin, and then his services will be at the disposition of the congressional campaign committee. Mr. Johnson draw's large audiences everywhere. He is at present, owing to recent ill health, making but one speech a day. He is regaining strength rapidly, however, and expects in about a month to enter 'he campaign for two speeches daily. The addresses of Mr. Johnson are masterly efforts, dealing as they do with economic questions from the standpoint of one whose experience in public affairs qualifies him to .peak. His work in Rush county has done great good, and has done more to flatten out the fallacies of the free-silverites than any speaiter wno nas so rar campaigned in KUsn county. Watson Speaks at Plymouth. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PLYMOUTH, Ind., Sept. 4. Congressman James E. Watson, of Rushvilie, addressed the people of this city and vicinity at the McKinley club room last night. It was the most enthusiastic meeting held here during the campaign. Mr. Watson dwelt mostly on the money question, by1 request, and his telling arguments were received with great satisfaction. He clearly proved that the Republican party is the best friend of silver and always has been. He also proved the cause of the financial distress in this country is not the need of more money, but the need of more work for the wage earner, whose present condition was brought about by the repeal of the McKinlev tariff act and passage of the Wilson bill. Mr. Watson received an ovotion at the close of his address. The meeting was greatly enlivened with telling campaign songs by the McKinley Glee Club. The Republicans of Marshall county are wide awake and will make a good showing at the polls In November. Mount at Hartsville. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENSBURG, Ind.. Sept. 4. Hon. J.

OfTnt Advertised Himself. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKLIN, Ind., Sept. 4. Capt. John Worrell spoke last night at Trafalgar, an old stronghold of Populism and Democracy. He had a good audience and his remarks evidently made a strong impression. During his two hours' speech he was accorded the very closest attention by all excepting two or three, one of whom was J. G. Offut. who was a candidate before the last Democratic convention for Secretary of State. He persisted in talking to his neighbors who were anxious to listen to the address, annoying the speaker and others greatly.

ROCKPORT, Ind., Sept. 4. For several weeks local Democrats, when asked to name a prominent Republican who had joined Democracy, referred to John Clark Ridpath. Yesterday the Rockport Democrat published a letter from Mr. Ridpath saying that he had voted for Lincoln, twice for Grant, once for Hayes, but that since 1S80 he "had voted independently for the party which seemed to me the most deserving and patriotic, though the choice has sometimes been a hard one. inus it is shown that for sixteen years he has not claimed to be a Republican.

Patrick O'Donnell, of Chicago, addressed a crowd of 2.000 Republicans in the courtyard tonightHis presentation of the issues was masterly and enthusiastically received. Mr. RootR'a Campaien Work, Rushvilie Republican. Hon. Frank T. Roots, of Connersville, illustrates his speeches by means of the blackboard and Coin's charts, presenting the subject clearly and enabling his audience to see and fix in their minds the cor rect ideas and figures. Mr. Roots characterizes the free-coinage issue adopted by the Democratic party at their Chicago convention as a shrewd political move to shirk the tariff question, after their ruinous policy of the past three years. He has adopted a novel way of enforcing his argun ents on the financial question by the use of charts and coins. He has in his collection an old Pine-tree shilling bearing date of 1652. and a dollar of 17C5, coined under the first coinage act of 1792. He has also different sizes of coin-silver discs, which he uses to show the relative size of the silver dollars, at the various ratios. This makes it very clear to the least-informed of his hearers what the relation between the two metals has been and what size the dollar must be at 32 to 1, to be an honest dcl'.ar. These discs were carefully mad for him out of standard silver by Duhme & Co., the well-known Cincinnati jewelers, and are perfectly accurate and reliable. Indiana Political Xotes. Judge George W. Grubbs, of Martinsville, spoke at Boston Thursday night to an audience that more than filled the town hallA McKinley club was organized at Rosston Thursday night with fifty-five members. Boone county is being organized more thoroughly than ever before.

Fair is contesting the Mrs. Nettle Craven-Fair pencil will. Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair are on record as being in favor of probating the per.cil will. Charles Fair was originally In that position himself, but not long ago George A. Krlght, his attorney, withdrew his petition in lavor of probating the pencil will and entered a contest against it. Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Fair, notwithstanding the court record, are opposed to the pencil will now. For some reason, however. Attorneys Lloyd and Wheeler, on their behalf, have not yet seen fit' to withdraw their petition for probating the. pencil will. There will be an agricultural exposition at Kiev, Russia, from July to October, next year, and in the opinion of United States Consul Stephen, at Annaberg. the United States should be represented, although our exhibits may not compete for prlz?

FORT WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 4. The Interstate baseball season will probably be shortened from Oct. 2 to Sept. 13. President 1'owers was to-day taking a vote on the proposition, and it is probable that thu clubi will vote In its favor. None of the teans shows an inclination to quit and it is tije desire of the directors to end the season with a balance in the league treasury. Ruselmll Xotes.

The Pioneer Press says Glasscock 1 doubtful whether he cares to play in St. Paul another year, as, he thinks the spectators do not appreciate his work. . No games were played by Western Leagrue clubs yesterday. Rain fell at Minneapolis and Kansas City, and the Grand Rapids game scheduled for Milwaukee was played early in the season. Viox. the sensational infielder Manning farmed to Richmond, Va is playing a nice game at third base, but his hits are so far apart that it is hard to find one in the scores of games in that league. Bobby Wheelock stands -.veil In Grand Rapids with the fans, even If Deacon Ellis did not use him right. Two amateur teams are going to play benefit games to-day and to-morrow, and Bobby receives the coin as a testimcn!al from the baseball public, Stewart played "dirty" ball yesterday In the third Milwaukee-Indianapolis game, driving his elbow into Spear s :omach as the latter slid to fccojkI base. Spear was safe, but he rolled off the bag while In pain, and Monasseau called him out. Milwaukee Sentinel.

If the runtain of the Brewers desires to make a satisfactory change to the patrons of the game, he will relegate himself to the bench, piece lay'or at second and put McHale at short." This is h cruel stab a Milwaukee paper takes at the captain-manager. Grand Rapids did not appear at Milwaukee Ihursday. and umpire McDonald Kave the Brewers a game by the score of 9 to 0. The Gold Bugs stopped off at Winona and played there. They sav they played off the gamo scheduled for Thursday early In the season, claiming the record Hhows that Milwaukee has already played a!', but five games with Grand Itapids. with schedule dates for Sept. 5 and 6 at Milwaukee, and Sept, 21. 22 and 23 at Grand Rapids. Glenalvin owed pitcher Borchers money for playing in the Pacific League, and when he was released by Milwaukee. Borchers demanded his back money from Glenalvin. On being refused, he took a hard fall out of Glen., blacking both eyes and pounding hint up generally. Verily, the life of the baseball manager is sometimes as unpleasant as that of the umpire, but, oh. how th Columbus fans would have enjoyed seeing the mouthy Milwaukee manager get that thumping. Columbus Journal. "Buck" Weaver bit cn a moss-covered play yesterday engineered bv Wood, the Hoosiers' catcher, and was put out at the plate. In the sixth inning Weaver bunted safely, went to third on Harttnan's single, and when the latter started for second' Wood swung his arm as though he intended to throw the ball to Stewart. The feint was successful, and Weaver came toward the plate so fast that Wood touched hirn with the ball before he could recover from his surprise. Milwaukee Sentinel. TWO MEN DROWNED. Bodies of Her.
