AS EVAXSVILLE MOB

ATTEMPTS TO 'DO IP' BOl'HKE COCKKAX AFTER HIS SPEECH. Anry I'opocruta Made a Rnali for the Sew Yorker, but the Police Got Him to III Hotel Safely. BRYAN'S ATTACK ON WALLACE THE G EXE RAID'S DEMOCRATIC FR1EXDS DENOUNCE THE INSULT. ReportM oC Republican Meeting; Over the State Show tbat the Silverltea Are LoMlntf Ground. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EVANSVILLE. Ind., Oct. 23. The Hon. "W. Bourke Cockran, who spoke here tonight, ran up against his first experience with Indiana rowdies. A mob attempted to take control of Mr. Cockran's meeting, and It required the !t stefforts f a large force of police to protect the distinguished speaker and see that he safely reached hi3 hotel. Before Mr. Cockran began his address at Evan's .'.Ia.ll it wan found that a deliberate attempt wao to ba made to break up his meeting. Admittance was by special tickets, but the Popocrats had issued forged tickets exactly similar to the regular tickets prepared by the Ttailroa-lers' Soundmoney Club, that had brought Mr. Cockran to the- city. Several hundred with Jmus tickets appeared at ihe hall and demanded admittance. It took twenty four policemen to drive them oft. Hut for th3 action of the police It Is quite likely that Mr. Cockran wouM never have been able to make his address. Three thousand pec pie packed the hail, out ml 1ir'n? the m fling there was a disturbance kept up on Le outside. When it came time for the New Yorker to leave the hall he was faced by a mob on the outside that was set on making trouble. As he came down from the stage the mob sang: "Hang Bourke Cockran on a sour apple tree." When he appeared there was a rush and cries to "do him up." Threats of violence and the use of rotten eggs were freely indulged in. The police finally got him to his hotel In safety, but Mr. Cockran had quite, a scare. To-night at his hotel Mr. Cockran said the attack was simply in line .with the teachings of Bryan and the Chicago platform. "Populism seems to be trying to Bee how ridiculous It can make itself," said he. "This affair to-night is simply in line with the treatment accorded Secretary Carlisle at Covington last night. It is worth a half million votes to Major McKinley." Chopped Down a McKinley Pole. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DECATUR, Ind., Oct. 23. A hot political argument occurred near Mt. Zion, west of here, yesterday evening, which came near resulting In loss of life. The facts, as related by one of the participants, are that Thomas Mettler, a teamster, was driving along the road near the above place, when he met three men and two women, in a surrey. Ther stopped Mettler and opened up a political argument. One of the women dared Mettler to cut down an ash pole near by that had been raised by a Republican gathering a few weeks ago. Mettler accepted tho challenge, and, grabbing an ax from his wagon, began to cut the pole, when three men jumped from their buggy and attempted to stop him. Mettler used his ax freely on the men, cutting two of them severely, whereupon they Jumped into their surrey and drove away, after seeing the ash pole felled to the ground. A warrant was issued for Mettler tr is morning charging him with assault wlt.i intent to kill. American Flag: Palled Down. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HAMMOND, Ind., Oct. 23. A large flag which hung across the street In front of the residence of E. E. Towle, cashier of the First National Bank, was t6rn down and trampled in the dust at an early hour this morning. Attached to the flag was a banner bearing the inscription on one side, "Sound Money and Prosperity," and on the other, "McKinley and Hobart." Ever since It was raised, a week ago, it has been an eyesore to the Popocrats. At 1 o'clock this morning Mr. Towle was aroused by the r.oise of a rope attached to the flag running through a pulley. He rushed out of the house and found the flag lying in the street, but the miscreant had tied. Many citizens, regardless of party, have called on Mr. Towle to-day and expressed their indignation over the affair. Rewards have been ottered for the apprehension of the culprits, and there is a possibility of a tar and feather bee if they are caught. Shameful Performance at Kennard. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . KENNARD, Ind., Oct, 23. On Thursday evening a party of well-known business and laboring men came over from KnJghtstowu. They were accompanied by a drum corps of twelve or fifteen pieces and a glee club of four voices. Short speeches were made by Ave men representing as many lines of business, which were received with applause. Rlcketts's Hall was too small to accommodate the crowd, every foot of standing space being occupied and many turned away. After the meeting adjourned a crowd of twenty-five or thirty Popocrats,. men and boys, congregated, and when the Knlghtstown party started to drive out of town they found the roadway almost blockaded by a howling, jeering crowd, which, dividing, forced the carriages to run a gauntlet of abuse and vulgar epithets. The better class of life-long Democrats were not represented in the shameful performance. , ' ' Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CONNERSVILLE. Ind., Oct. Last night some person covered the west end of ths Times-News building with decayed hen fruit. This newspaper Is for sound money, ATTACK OX GEX. LEW WALLACE, Bryan'a ScurrtlouM LanKoaKe Con demned by Democrats. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind., Oct. 23. There has not been found a man here who indorses what Bryan said here yesterday concerning General Lew Wallace. The Associated Press report concerning the word 3 used by Bryan in referring to Gen. Wallace tire not correct and shows that the Awarded KlgEicst Honors World'a Pair, MOST PERFECT MADE. A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder. Free from Ammonia, Alum or sny other adulterant. 40 YEARS THE STANDARD.

matter had been revised before going on the wires. Bryan said: "Standing upon a plctform which declares In favor of an American dollar for the American people, I pit my patriotism against that of Lew Wallace or any other man on the face of the earth." Bryan emphasized the name of Lew Wallace and he did not say "General," and the people stood in silence after he had said it, not a man cheering, so dumfounded were they to think that Bryan would have the impudence to say this standing within a hundred feet of the fence around General Wallace's home. This insult to Gen. Wallace is the talk of the town, and not a man has dared as yet to defend the unwise words of Bryan. The old soldiers are very much out of humor concerning the affair and It is safe to say that Bryan, instead of gaining votes, has lost many. It is now clear enough why Bryan is called an Anarchist. General Wallace in his speeches last week referred. to Bryan as standing upon a platform indorsed by Anarchists, and a Democratic editor here wrote to Bryan telling him about what General Wallace had said, and asking,- Bryan to answer it. So by this can be seen the cause of Bryan's slur upon General Wallace. Commenting upon the Bryan slur upon General Lew Wallace the Dai!y Journal says: "This egotistic statement, like most Mr. Bryan makes in his speeches, is not proven. General Wallace's patriotism is a worldwide admitted fact. If Mr. Bryan has ever gained any distinction by the advocacy of any patriotic measures in Congress or out of it the world has yet to find It out. Neither abuse of certain classes of citizens in his own country nor a violent tirade against the other only English-speaking people of the world are not sufficient to entitle him to rank as a patriot, much less as a stateman. Is it a sign of patriotism for a candidate for the presidency of tho

'United States to say when about to make a canvass in one of these States that he is now going into the "enemy's country?" General Wallace has no occasion to assert his patriotism anywhere. Mr. Bryan has yet to prove his by evidence other than his own statement unsupported by any single prominent patriotic act of his life." BRYAX'S DELPHI BLUNDER. Get the LaiiKh for Calling; Landia a Plutocrat. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DELPHI, Ind., Oct. 23. The free-silver Democrats and the Populists took advantage of the presence of William Jennings Bryan in this county yesterday to make a great effort in behalf of Joseph B. Cheadle, the Popocratic candidate for Congress in this district. After dishing up the regulation mess of "bimetallism" doled out at every place he speaks, Mr. Bryan spoke as follows: "In this district I understand that the Democrats, Populists and free-silver Republicans have agreed on a candidate for Congress, and he happens to have been a Republican. Well, my friends, I want to say this to you. Now, I have always been a Democrat, and I think I am as good a Democrat to-day, when you consider the broad principles that are governed by the people, as I ever was, and yet, if I was in this district I would not hesitate to vote for a man who was a Republican, but who is for free silver rather than for a Democrat who was a Democrat, but who is now a plutocrat. Better a Republican who is near by in the hour of a nation's extremitv than a Democrat who is afar off looking for foreign assistance. And I want every person who believes in bimetallism and who believes in the ability of our people to attend to their own affairs in this country to see to it that we have a Congress there to send a free-coinage bill to the President." Mr. Bryan evidently got mixed up in the coaching the reception committee from this city gave him, as Mr. Cheadle's opponent, Charles B. Landis, of this city, is a Republican and has always been a Republican. Neither is he a "plutocrat," but a plain, everyday country newspaper publisher. An amusing 'Incident occurred when Mr. Bryan finished his speech and prepared to leave the stand. It had been necessary to raise $150 to get him to stop his train at this place. The money was placed in an envelope and quietly handed to him by the Democratic chairman. Just as the envelope was handed to him Mr. Bryan was in the act of putting on his overcoat. He did not care to trust the envelope to any of the gentlemen standing around, so he deftly placed it between his teeth, holding it in his capacious mouth while he got into his overcoat. The incident was witnessed by thousands of people and created much merriment, as everybody knew that the price of the distinguished visitor's presence was being held between his jaws. Landis In Clinton Connty. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKFORT, Ind.. Oct. 23. One of. the most enthusiastic and successful demon strations of the campaign was made to night at Michigantown, a strong Demo cratic locality, six miles east of here. Charles B. Landis was the speaker and rode twenty miles across the country from Deer Creek, where he spoke this afternoon. A great crowd from the vicinity was pres ent, but the feature of the meeting was the special train run by the employes of the Clover Leaf from this city. There were 200 of the railroad men on the train, and they were accompanied by 300 citizens of Frankfort, with the State band and Frankfort drum corps. A great majority of these railroad men have heretofore been stalwart Democrats, but they are this year fighting for Republican success. They took with them a flat car and cannon. On the return of the train to Frankfort Mr. Landis was escorted to the Coulter House and the crowd shouted until he made a speech from the balcony. The old soldiers were out in force. Attempt to Defeat Crumpacker, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HAMMOND, Ind., Oct. 23. A circular purporting to have been issued by the Indiana State Liquor League is being freely circulated among the saloon keepers of this district, which has for its object lessening the chances of the election of Hon. E. D. Crumpacker, the Republican candidate for Congress. The circular gives the names of the Senators and Representatives in the Legislature who voted for the passage of the Nicholson law, and one of them is that of a Senator named Crumpacker, meaning Senator Jonathan Crumpacker, of LaPorte county. The Popocrats are seeking to create the impression that it was E. D. Crumpacker, when, in fact, that gentleman was never in the Legislature. The given name of the Senator is not shown in the circular, and the fact has led many of the saloon men to think it was the candidate for Congress, and they are using their influence against him jn that ground. Hid path's Wild Prophecy. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 23. John C. Ridpath, the historian, delivered a freecoinage speech at Mooresville Wednesday night. Among other preposterous statements ho made he offered the prediction that in case of McKlnley's election the silver money would all be called in and converted into jewelry and silver table ware. Also that paper currency would also be called in, so that our people would have to rely wholly on gold coin. This, he said, would be done because of Republican antipathy to silver money and their favoring the further enrichment of the wealthy and making the poor more and more dependent. This prediction is very much akin to the one offered by prophet Riggans a few days ago at Monrovia, when he said that war was inevitable between the East and West in case of Republican success at the polls. A Democrat Comes Out for Landis. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DELPHI, Ind., Oct. 23. Mr. Michael Clifford, one of the leading Democratic business men of this city, who has been firm in his adherence to the principles of Jackson and Jefferson all his life, is out in a letter denouncing the Chicago platform and urging all his friends to vote against free silver. Mr. Clifford states that he does not believe votes should be wasted on Palmer and Buckner. Mr. Clifford closes his letter in an appeal to every friend of sound money to not only vote for McKinley, but for Charles B. Landis, the Republican candidate for Congress in this district, to whom he pays a high compliment as a business man and a citizen. Mr. Clifford's letter is a bombshell in the free-silver camp and will have much bearing on the result that will be registered in this county the third of next November. Bryan Getting $2,225 a Day. Special the Indtanapolls Journal. MUN'CIE. Ind.. Oct. 23. Mr. Ralph Georgic, the cashier at the Lake Erie depot. Is in receipt of a letter from a brother railroader in Ohio, who furnishes statistics that show the recent trip of candidate Bryan through that State to have been a how.ing success, financially. aJid that the candidate will by no means be broke at the close of the campaign.

NEW CASTLE, Ind., Oct. 23. The county Popocratic managers have filed an appeal In the Circuit Court to-day for a writ of mandamus to restrain the board of election commissioners from printing the county ballots with eight tickets. The board in making up the bailots decided that it was necessary to place the eight emblems on the ticket, although only two full tickets had been certified the Republican and Citizens' ticket. The latter was placed eighth on the ballot, the seven preceding being regulars, according to the board. The board contends that there are many who wouid prefer to use pasters, and hence provided the several emblems for that purpose. More Democrats for McKinley.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NASHVILLE, Ind., Oct. 23. On Wednes day Mr. William Deckard, a well-known Brown county farmer, one of six brothers, said: "We, are for protection and McKin ley this year. The Democratic leaders were always tolling us to take the tariff off of wool and its price would go up; well, they took it off and wool is flatter than flax." Mr. Deckard is a sheep raiser, and said that on his flocks and wool he had already lost SSOO under Cleveland s administration. and added: "Give us Bryan and four years or free silver and I can t pay my debts, We all intend (.meaning his relatives) to lay aside all prejudices and vote tor .Mc Kinley and protection." There are near twenty voters in the several families. A Sound-Money Democrat. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RUSHVILLE, Ind., Oct. 23 Judge J. C Robinson, of Spencer, a soancl-money Dem ocrat, addressed a iarge audience ot Democrats' and Republicans at the court room in this city Thursday night.

He deplored .the surrender of a portion of the Democratic party to the populists. Roberts in His Native Connty. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NOBLES VILLE, Ind., Oct. 23. One of the best, speeches of the campaign was deliv ered at the courthouse last niht by Hon. A. H. Roberts, a colored orator from Chi cago. Without question his treatment of the issues was as clear ana eneetive as anv that has been made this year. jVlr. Rolierts is a native of this county, and for that reason his reception was most flattering. His white friends, as well as his fo ored admirers, were out. His appeal to the colored race to stand by the party of lihert.v. honor, hiteerritv and patriotism was most eloquent and effective. The colored voters in this county were never so united and enthusiastic for the Republican ticket as this year. Watts at Cartersbnrg. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. CARTERSBURG, Ind., Oct. 23. The Hon I. P. Watts, of Randolph county, met with a royal reception by the Republicans of this rlac.ft last nierht. He spoke to a crowded house.

Nowlham and Rev. W. M. Kennedy, of Rochester. Their manner of campaigning is novel, driving in carriages from one town to another and holding rreetlngs, stopping at three places each day. Owing to the chilly weather the meeting was nem in ma opera house, which was entirely too small for the occasion. From' here they drove to Bethel, where an enthusiastic meeting was held this evening.

Lafe Johnson, the workingmen's candidate for the Senate on the Republican ticket, addressed a large and enthusiastic .audience of workingmen at the opera house last night, his fellow glass workers of this city occupying a prominent position on the stage and cheering to the echo. He held the vast audience for two hours and at the conclusion of his speech was given three rousing cheers.

ROBBED BY MASKED MEN CHICAGO & ALTOS 'TRAIJf HELD IT AT BLUE CUT, MO. All the Money Hidden by the Express Messenger, and Only a Kew Pacltuses of Jewelry Secured. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 2X A passenger and express train on, the Chicago & Alton railroad . due here " from Chicago and St. Louis at 7 o'clock was held up and robbed by four masked men this evening at Blue cut, between Independence and Glendale, Mo. The scene of the robbery is less than twenty miles dist-ant from Kansas City. The train was flagged at the cut. While two of the robbers stood guard over the passenger coaches, the other two covered the conductor, engineer and fireman with their pistols and compelled them to go to the express car. There the robbers commanded the messenger to open tage door of the car, threatening to break in the doors should he refuse. After some delay the robbers were admitted to the express car. The express messenger, however, had surmised what the trouble was. While the bandits had been demanding admission he had quiekly opened the safe, taken out the money packages and tossed them in a chicken coop. When he finally admitted the robbers to the car and opened the safe for them the strong box contained but two or three packages of jewelry. Even at the point of the robbers' pistols and. Winchesters tho messenger Insisted that he had carried no currency. Taking up the verylittle booty at hand the outlaws uncoupled the engine, jumped aboard and pulled out, having held up the train without ' having fired a shot. They ran the locomotive several miles to within a short distance of Independence, where they abandoned it. As soon as a party of trainmen could walk to Independence the alarm was sent out. A deputy sheriff and posse left Independence at about 9 o'clock to-night, and about the same time a squad of policemen was detailed from here and left for the scene of the robbery on a special train. It is thought, however, that the outlaws are now safely out of the way. There, have been three hold-ups in Blue cut. The James gang held up a train there in 1881. A- Wygrant, general agent of the United States Express Company at Chicago, said to-night that the train that was held up never carried much money. None was shipped from Chicago by it and what there was in the express car must have been small sums from way stations. The amount in the express car would not exceed 52,000 in his opinion. THE POTiTO CROP. It Is Smaller than Last Year and Bet ter Priees 3Iay Be Realized. CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-The Orange Judd Farmer to-morrow will say: "A smaller acreage and a decreased rate of yield are resulting in a decidedly smaller and more manageable crop of potatoes. The amount avaLable or market Is by no means as bur densome as was the crushing crop of 1S95. The crop now being harvested is placed by this authority at 245,4';O,00O bushels, a de crease of more than 50,000,000 bushels or 17 per cent, compared with a year ago. The total area harvested aDDroximates 2,8&,000 acres, which in turn is per cent. short of last year. Growers almost uniformly devoted less land to this staple, this being particularly true in some of the Northwestern States, which in 1S&5 showed an abnormally increased area. Unequailv distributed rainfall is given as a chief cause for the smaller rate of yield. - The average yield per acre for the whole country is placed at 8J per cent, per acre. aerainst 93 last year, lhis report makes the Canadian crop Zo.SX.O'M bushels, a decrease of nearly 13.000.000 bushels compared with 1SX. In view of the shortage on this side the ocean and the smaller eroo in Germany and England, the outlook for prices to farmers is certamiv ueire.r than a year ajro.
