the Railroad Men's Sound-money Club of Terre Haute. Vice President Hrooks began his address to fully 6,000 persons with the Joking remark that the only depressing fact In connection with the meeting was the assertion that all the railroad men present had been "coerced" Into being there. He did hoie that '"one or two of the 37,000 employes of the Pennsylvania Company would vote for Bryan to show that they could do es they pleased." In the name of the Pennsylvania Company he sail he would appoint every Democratic editor In Indiana a special agent of that company to prosecute any official who might discriminate against an employe because of his politics, and he declared the Pennsylvania Company would pay all the expenses of the prosecution. Then Air. Brooks proceeded to tell why he. as a Democrat, could not support Bryan. He was willing to follow the teaching's of Jefferson. Jackson and Benton, but he would not follow Tillman. AUgeld and longwhlskered Peffcr. He maintained that the Chicago convention represented but a small faction of the Democratic party. Marched Tbrwusli Cra ( ordnvlllr.

His speech was mainly devoted to the financial issue, and among other things he said: "It is not neceesary for me to soeak of Ithe principles of the Republican party. You, who have shouldered the musket and braved the fire of Confederate bullets, do not need to Ik? told that patriotism is not dead, and will never die within the breasts of the old soldiers of this Nation so long as'' life Is in their mortal bodies. These many faces I see here to-night present to me a vision of the time when the boys were called to don the coats of blue for the loyal and patriotic cause of preserving this Union and upholding the honor of the American flag. (Applause.) r can see the patriotic motive as you march with elastic tep to the beat of the drum, and I know mere is noc a man in tnis nan wno would Xiot do the 'same thing to-night. Is there one who would not? ("No. not one!') Now, we have a battle to tight, gentlemen, in defense of honor and prosperity, and that battle is one to be fought at the polls next November, On one tide is depression, darkness and calamity, the party of the Popocratic, the Bryan-Sewall-YVatson combination. On the other side is sound money, piuictiiYc icitiiL, ec-iyi uciLy tiiiu piopei nv, with Major McKinley and Garret Hobart, and the Republican party. (Great applause.) Which shall we defend? The line is drawn and the battle is on. The foe which was advancing is now retreating, snrl wViati 1 !nn t a r la at Vitinrl tVio hattie's victory will be ours. When, in 1860, the Republicans of this great Nation assembled in convention to nominate a man for the high office of President of the United States, they chose a man from Illinoisthe immortal Abraham Lincoln and thev made no mistake. (Continued applause.) Then they chose U. S. Grant, and again they made no mistake; then James A. Garfield, of Ohio, and they made no mistake; next. Rutherford B. Hayes, likewise no mistake, and finally our own etatesman, Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, was chosen for the same great honor. Great .applause.) The Republicans of the United States have nominated that trueblue patriot. Major McKinley, to lead us out of depression, idleness and poverty into sunlight and prosperity." (Great and continued applause.) A PREACHER'S RIGHTS. Xler. G. W. AUord Telia Why He In Interested In Politic:. Bperiat to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD. j JJig.V ept. 24. Rev. G. W. Alford, pastor" of the First Christian Church of this, city, who has made several sound-money speeches and la working for the success of the Republican ticket, has Incurred the enmity of Popocrats and they are roundly criticising him as a minister for making political speeches. In a letter , to-day he sets forth his position and effectually stops the mouths of those who are criticising him. The letter follows: "I have been actively engaged in the ministry for about ten years, and ever since I was old enough to study the history of my country I have felt a deep interest in its political questions. My opinion is that we are confronted in the present campaign with the gravest questions that have arisen since the termination of the civil war. By the action of the Democratic convention at Chicago the old doctrine of State sovereignty has again been thrust upon the country, a doctrine which the defenders of the Nation thought had been settled a third ot a century ago by the arbitrament - of the sword. Again the Democratic party is making a herculean effort to array all the malcontents of the country against law and order, and from every stump are preaching the gospel of hate attempting to array section against section and class against class, thus revoking the edict enunciated by the angels tin Bethlehem's plains, 'Peace on earth, pood will among men.' Again, taking advantage of the distressed finarcial condition which they themselves have brought upon the country and the ruin they alone have wrought, they are attacking the linancial system which, wrhen under control of its-friends, has always brought peace, happiness and prosperity to the Nation, and caused a mountain of debt, which was piled up in defense of the Nation's life, to vanish in thin air. Hence I feel called upon, and I think It the duty of every man who has the love of the race at heart, and who can be touched by the heart throbs of a nation's distress, to. like Cincinnatus of old. leave the plow for the time and with whatever power and talent God has endowed him, join the ranks and assist in turning back the besom of destruction which threatens to engulf us In national dishonor and financial ruin."

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . RUSHVILLE, Ind., Sept. 24. Editor Puntenney's deliberate surrender to tho Populist candidate, Dr. Robinson, in the con gressional race is one of the mysteries of the campaign in this district. Puntenney was duly nominated at the Democratic congressional convention at New Castle, in Which Robinson was bin onlv pnmiwHtnr Robinson remained in the race as the Popuusi canaiaate. jr'untennev. although the regular nominee, submitted to the greatest indignities by the Robinson supporters, who even went so iar as to try to remove him from the ticket. Puntenney has his certificate of nomination, and, thus fortified, could have defied the whole clique of tricksters who were after his scalp. His unexpected submission at this hour, after having balked his enemies thus far, is what causes people here. Democrats and Republicans alike, to wonder and ask what has caused Puntenney to retire. Democrats are disgusted and the Populist Robinson will lose hundreds, of their votes in Rush county alone. RODE WITH A REPUBLIC AX. Got. Matthews' Jonah Is C. D. Entler, the Scipio Agrent.

Governor Claude Matthews came through here this morning, but by a misunderstanding left the train at Scipio, and had it not been for the timely aid of C. D. Butler, railroad agent there, and a Republican, leader in that neighborhood, who took him over in his buegy, the Governor would have been compelled to walk about ten miles or disappoint the Stout's Mill crowd. The other speaker of the day was John Overmeyer, who has been a resident of this neighborhood for many years. It will be remembered that Overmeyer was one who helped organize the Knights of the Golden Circle thirtvfive years ago, and that when he attempted to make a rebel speech at the Mutton creek schoolhouse, he was drarged from the room by infuriated women.

To the Kditor of the Indianapolis Journal: I have no apology to offer for the following. ' All I wish to do is to be clearly understood on this great issue that is causing so many able men to change their minds, and, although not rated with the great and the learned, sfill I have a mind of my own, and I also ask the privilege of changing my political views on the issue of the day. I can only see disaster ahead in the election of Bryan on the Chicago niatform. After doing some talking for that partv, I can only say I am now ready to undo all the supposed good I have done. While I was in favor of the Chicago wlatform I was. as now. in earnest, and honestly believed it would do the greatest good fcr the sreitest number. But, aa I now view it. I can only see ruin and a general stagnation of business ali around by the election of Bryan. Such a result would cause a greater panic than we now have. I have r.niv one course one n to me that is to vote to sustain the credit of our great Nation: to vote to bring prosperity to the toiling masses, to open up our mines, mills and factories, ard to keep railroads from shutting up their shops and making bad enough worse. It is true there is something wrong, but who can right the wrong? Not the Chicago platform. It can cn'y be done bv those who

would protect the laboring man the Rtbublican party. JAMES KNOX. Brazil, Ind., Sent. 24. Indiana CunipaiKii Xotes.

(Copyright, by the Associated Pre?.) DONGOLA, on the Nile. Sept. 24. An inspection of the Dervish defenses at this place shows that they were constructed with great skill, that the positions were well chosen and that if they had been held by resolute men they would have caused an immens amount of trouble and loss to the Anglo-Egyptian expedition. About nine hundred Dervish prisoners were captured, in addition to a large quantity of arras of all kinds, dates sufficient to support an enormous fighting force for a long time, great quantities of grain and large supplies of sheep and cattle. The honors of the fighting fell to the gunboats and the artillery, whose shells reached the fleeing enemy far out in the desert. Deserters from the Dervish force -continue to arrive here, as they are all anxious to serve under the Egyptian flag. The work of perfecting the chain of depots and forts connecting this place with Wady Haifa is being pushed with the greatest energy, and from here work on the railroad embankment begins to-morrow so as to join the line being pushed southward as quickly as possible. All the troops are In excellent health and spirits. No announcement has been made as to the course of the expedition in the future, everybody being busily occupied in the work of settling down here, establishing advance posts, clearing away the debris of the dismantled fortifications, preparatory to reconstructing a number of them on a larger and more important scale, landing and storing ammunition and supplies and constructing camps for a possible stay of some length here. Among the prisoners taken at Dongola is the son of the secretary of the late Gen. Gordon and also one of General Gordon's clerks. They confirm previous accounts of the fall of Khartoum and the death of Gordon, which so long remained a mystery to the civilized world. The flag of Wad-Bishara, the commander of the Dervishes, was captured, together with aS'Ss of his correspondence and accounts. The total losses of the Egyptian expedition in the taking of Dongola was one officer and seven men wounded. Missionaries in Peril. VANCOUVER, Sept. "24.

A meeting was held at Alexandria this afternoon by official representatives from every lodge or union of g!as3 blowers and gatherers in this State, taking in the workers of every one of the thirty-one plants in Indiana. The purpose cf this meeting is to effect a closer union between these two classes of workers and to consider the demands of a cut made by the manufacturers, which accounts for them being out at present, and to also consider the wage scale presented by their committee to the manufacturers which made demands of a slight increase. After a careful consideration they issued an official ultimatum to the wage committee that they had absolutely no correction to make in the wage committee's demands and that they would stay out all vear if necessary to win. The workers in the Pittsburg district will hold a similar meeting and issue their ultimatum. The manufacturers have issued their ultimatum also and it is forcibly put by President Hart, of the Indiana Association of Manufacturers, who says that all of the manufacturers in the Nation, both in the East and West, will allow their plants to rot before they accede to the workers' demands. The outlook is particularly gloomy to the gas belt, where the window glass factories employ so many men at good w-ages. WESTERX YEARLY MEETING.

Formerly there were three business sessions held a day, but there has been such a demand for devotional meetings that the business sessions have become less and less numerous until this year only ten sessions were held in seven days.

Last night there were gospel services in the house conducted by the evangelist, Seth C. Rees, assisted by Rev. George W. Willis. This morning the devotional service lasted forty-fivi minutes, giving way for the business session at 0 o'clock.

Hawkins pleaded for mercy and asked that he be given two minutes to pray. Gretna Is in Jefferson parish. Just across the river from this city. Another dispatch omits mention of the killing of two negroes on the street and says: "Tuesday night last Jim Hawkins, colored, was arrested for assault and battery on a little white boy. but the main charge against him was a general bad reputation, men, both white and black having a dread of him. The prisoner was placed in the small Jail In Gretna. At 1 o'clock this morning while Hawkins was sleeping and no special guard was being kept, there being no rumor of danger, a number of masked men suddenly appeared before the jail door. The attack was rapid, the door being broken open, the prisoner secured and in a moment he was in the center of a crowd hurrying up the levee. The party met no interference and hultei about !. mile above the little town on the bank of the river. The terror-stricken wretch was given brief time for prayer. He was then, hanged to a tree near the batture. Tho body disappeared, but it Is not known positively what became of it. The Impression, however, is that it was thrown Into the river."
