never suffered thereby. But In the alignment of parties to-day, and in the vital questions at issue between them, it especially and cheerfully invites comparison and contract. It has no aim but the public grood and the honor of the American name and confidently submits its contention, not to a class or a section, but to the whole American people. "Daniel Webster always stood . for America, and I can recall no greater words in any oration than the ringing, truthful and touch
ing sentences In which, after paying his own State grand and well-deserved tribute, he, in terms of endearment, claimed Washington, Henry, Marshall. Jefferson. Madison and other distinguished Southerners as just as much his countrymen as any of the noble patriots of New England. He expressed in that wonderful speech the true sentiment of this campaign, the dominant, moving force of the present national contest. This is the spirit that should animate every young man In the country, in college and out, everywhere to-day a national spirit a broad and comprehensive patriotism, a genuine Americanism. Jf I could give the young men of the United States a. message that I would have them hear and heed it would be.: 'Stand up for America: devote your life to its cause; love 'your own homes and prove as worthy of our cherished free institutions as they are worthy of your allegiance and service.' "Iet not the high standard of national honor raised by the fathers be lowered by their sons. Let learning, liberty and law be exalted and enthroned. You come from the great educational institutions of the land and I dare say love to contemplate with me their great and increasing importance. Each is for his own, but proud of all. and there are none but would give honor to the great public school system of the country. Our common schools are in many respects the best in the wflrld and . may be said to surpass the high standards of other nations in almost every particular. WHAT PUBLIC EDUCATION COSTS. "The wonderful provisions made by the people of this country for public education tells the stojy of the advantages of the Republic better than any words of mine. We expended for the education of the youth of the country in our public schools St3.000.000 in 1S70, $78,000,000 in 1SS0 and 140,100,000 in ISiO an average increase of nearly t.000,0C,0 per annum. Three-fourths of the expenditure was for salaraies of teachers, and every year we are getting on the whole better instruc ors and broader instruction. The value of public school property in this country in 1S70 was JlM.OdO.Oot); in 1880, $209,000,000, -and in lH'M) $S42,0iH,0OO an average annual increase of JIO.OOO.W for the whole (period. "In addition to this great outlay by the Nation, America has just reason to be proudof the private benefactions which our philanthropic citizens are constantly making to our colleges and universities. 'J hey nava fallen oit. it is true, in the last three years, and they will be still more reduced if we are ever so unwise as to enter upon the project of free silver, as now proposed, or any other schemes of false linance. In the foundation of pubile libraries and in the aid of higher schools, the amount oi these gifts from 1871 to lMH. a erlod of twenty years, exceeded $X,00o,000 or more than 4.00i,00u a year. We have in the United States in addition to ouV public wchools more than 400 universities und colleges, with 8.000 instructors, 46,000 students and property valued at nearlv 5150.000,000, and libraries containing more than 4,000,000 volumes. "What has been the result of this unparalleled expenditure and munificence? Are our schools worth what they cost? Yes, I anfcwer; all that and infinitely more. They are objects of patriotic pride and solicitude to us all. We behold most satisfactory progress in the public schools, whose anJiuai enrollment of pupils has now reached more than 13,000,000, or 23 per cent, of the j-ritlre population, a greater percentage lhan that of any other nation in the world, the public was never more realy to pour out Its treasures In support of our schools than now. We spend for education per capita more Inan any other nation of the world. Our per capita is nearly twice that of Great Britain; three times that of J ranee and ten times that of Italy. Our census returns show the glorious fact in our civilization that 87 per cent, of our total population over ten years of age can read and write. (Loud cheers.)

In its future years. I beg you to bear in mind always that the contests which you must meet are largely Intellectual and moral, not material, and that no matter how limited your resources financially you haye just as good a chance to "Win as anybody else If you apply yourselves properly. There is the test of true American manhood. Do your duty maniully, cheerfully and hopefully, and do It at all hazards, and, whatever your embarrassments, you are bound to win. The youth of no other land are so blessed as ours. Give your country your unswerving allegiance. and loyalty; give it your heartv support and unselfish love; give it vour beVt thoughts, acts and devotion. There never In the pending campaign some men have actually advocated the splitting of mir Kreat national family into distinct divisions Jr.0:8, as t,h,ey are iiea to can them: They have said to the working peonle of .the factories, mines and-mills: 'You go off Into one crowd.' and they have said to the farmers, gardeners, dairymen and other agriculturists: 'You go off into another crowd. But the wool growers they have left out altogether, as the wool growers Xully appreciate. Then they have turned to professional and college men. merchants pnd manufacturers and railroad presidents turning to Dr. Chauncev Al. Dejew of New York, amidst loud laughter), and said: Vou will not follow us, so, of course, you ftnust stay together.' "There would be something comical about ill this travesty on common sense if it were not for the fact, the serious fact, they Jiresent, of carrying the bitterest feelings of each community, the arraying of labor Mgainrt capital, of the poor, or less fortunate, against the rich, or more fortunate, nnd the creation, for the first time In our liistory, of harmful and destructive social divisions. If the teachings of these men were followed to their logical conclusions they would threaten the very foundations Of, the government. But they are all wror g; fundamentally, cruelly wrong, for there never was a time (and never will be, or aa be a time), when the interests of lalor and Capital were not identical and mutually beneficial. - "Young men of the colleges, I adjure you, dfnounce these things wherever you enft'inter them: speak against them and Vote against them; teach your children to iibhor them: for they are opposed to American national institutions. This glorious Republic is full of the splendid examples of the poor young man who has made bv force his merit known, and lived to clutch the golden keys that mold a mighty state s decrees, and shapes the whispers of the throne. It gave us Andrew Jackson, a young hero of the revolution, and Abraham Lincoln, the martyr of liberty. Their names will be. repeated wlHi honor so long s the history of the United States is read. One. the son of a poor widow; the other, born in poverty and obscurity, and both without the advantages of early education. I'.ach young man in the hearing of my voice has as good a chance in life to-day .under our free institutions aye. a better chance, than either of these great men had it his ag; and yet there are men so reckless and wanton as to say that the children of the poor have no opportunity to rise. Out uion such a gospel. It is opposed to very national instinct: it is utterly unworthy ct any self-respecting American citizen. Teach rather the doctrine of Jefferson: 'The cement of the Union is in the heart and blood of every American.' It belongs to us all: it is ours to keep, for all time, and to enjoy, and it gives every man. woman and child under the flag an equal opportunity in the battle of life. "Voung men. I congratulate you upon the splendid opportunities secured by our American civilization and by virtue of our free Institutions, and I assure you that, with honesty nnd industry, pure lives and inobie aspirations, you will make names tor yourselves; und add glory to the Republic. Guard your own lives from impure thoughts, or unworthy ambitions, and you will be the better equipped for the sacred truft which, in a few years, will be imposed upon you.

ten to the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, of New York." (Loud and prolonged cheers ) Mr. Depew' Speech. Mr. Depew spoke in part as follows: "A candidate for the presidency in a moment of irritation and nervous prostration gave voice to a sentiment for which I know he afterwards felt great regret. He said that the college boys of the countrywere sent to attend college with the purpose that they mleht spend the ill-gotten gains of their fathers. (Loud laughter.) Now, when I was in college. I had to hustle to get anything to spend (renewed laughter), and judging from the anxiety that college men have shown when they are going to attend the meeting of their college league to secure passes from me over the railroad to the place where they, are going (laughter) I take it the father either does not want him to go or that the ohl man keeps his pocket buttoned up pretty tightly. (Xvoud laughter.) I am very familiar with the conditions of the undergraduate in the various colleges of the United States, and especially at Yale, where I have been one of the conoration for a great many years. Eight-tenths of the students of all the great colleges are very familiar with the fact that it is a sacrifice on the part of their fathers and mothers a distinct sacrifice taken out of the comforts of their own lives to send them to these colleges. (Cries of 'You are right!" and cheer5?.) If there is anybody in the world who ought to study these great questions it is the undergraduates in the various colleges of the United States. The educated man goes out of college to become a lawyer, a doctor, minister, journalist or business man, and is recognized in the community in which he settles as a trained mind and as having had college education which fits him to be an authority on these great questions. "It is. fortunate that we will have in the White House after March 4 next an experienced statesman who can grasp these political questions, which are the most serious we have had to consider since the civil war. and bring to them his ripe judgment and statesmanship. And while we are speaking on the subject of American opportunity, as he has spoken so eloquently, and giving the great examples which he has cited of men who have illustrated the American opportunity to rise from the ranks, let me add that there has risen from the ranks in the State of Ohio in the last thirty-five years a boy who tried to get into college by teaching school, but when the first gun was fired at Sumter he was there. He had no oooortunities other than what American liberty gave him. and belonging to that class which we are told can never rise because it has no money, and yet he had no money, but only legs and brains. But those brains have made him the leader of the American people, and of, the best thought in this Republic, and those legs are going to trot him into the White House." (Loud laughter and prolonged cheers.)
TO COLORED VOTERS. Siteecheii Made by Major McKinley and Chauncey M. Depew. Major McKinley's response to J. E. Benson, who spoke on behalf of the original McKinley Colored Republican Club, of Cleveland, follows: "Mr. Benson and my Fellow-citizens I bid you warm welcome to my city and home, and feel honored to have vou give my name to your club. I have been glad to note in this political campaign that the colored men of the United States from every section of the country have demonstrated their zeal for-the triumph of Republican principles. (Great applause.) You, in common with all your fellow-citizens, believe in liberty, and you believe that liberty should be regulated by law. You believe that this country should have as the medium of exchange for doing its business do!-, lars that are good not only in the United States, but recognized as good in every commercial center of the world. Yon believe also that the courts of this country, which are our safeguards in every time of peril, should be sustained in their dignitv and incorruptibility. I am glad to count those whom you represent as allies in this great contest for good currency, public honor and general prosperity. I know you will be glad to hear from a distinguished citizen from another State, one of the bestknown men in the United States or the world, Hon. Chauncey M. Depew." (Tremendous applause.) Mr. Depew was greeted with cheers as he arose to speak. In the course of his remarks he said: . "It has pleased the Popocratic party, or else, rather, the Popocratic leaders, to place this campaign upon a plane which it never before has been put in this country. They are trying to array one class against another as if there were classes in this country. or permanent classes. They are trying to array the employed against their employers, and to array the man who has not prospered against the man who has a little more than he. as if the spirit of American liberty that a man should not rise from his condition to a better one where all are equal before the lsw. If any one has a right to complain, and the right to be an Anarchist and a Socialist, it is the colored man. It is only one generation since he came from slavery to a free man, but no one ever saw a negro Socialist or a negro Anarchist. (Loud and continuous cheering.) The colored people of the United States accept the emancipation proclamation of Abraham Lincoln as it was given to the world. They accept American citizenship as it came from the pen of the great liberator and that great American citizen, that all men are created equal with one another, and with inalienable rights; that no man is better than another man before the law, but are all equal, and the rest is American opportunity under American liberty. (Continuous cheering.) And so it is that the colored man of this country; this generation which has gone to the schools and received American education, and is enjoying American opportunity are all for McKinley, prosperity and libertv." (Three cheers were then given for Chauncey Depew and three cheers for Major McKinley.) OBITUARY. ' Cardinal Gustav Adolf Von Hohenlohe SehllllnKMf urt. a Xoted German. ROME. Oct. CO.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 30. Generals Palmer and Buckner, the candidates of the Indianapolis convention of sound-money Democrats, were not permitted to speak at Paris, Mo., to-day. About five hundred peopie had assembled at the railway station when the generals arrived. The candidates stood on the rear platform of their car and tried to speak, but the crowd, which was composed mainly of rabid silver Democrats and, Populists, groaned, hissed and yeiled f jr Bryan. One man carried a Bryan bann?r, and he waved it in the faces of the generals, at the same time taunting ana shouting derisively. General Buckner made several vain efforts to secure attention, but the crowd yelled: "Look at the McKinley Aid Society V Stung at this last fling, General Buckner pointed at the banner and said: "Let me tell you who and what constituted the McKinley Aid Society. In 1892, cn a soundmoney platform, we elected Grover Cleveland, but the last elections in Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio were disastrous because you shouters with your heresies drove the party on to failure and contempt. Hold up the banner. There is the emblem of the McKinley Aid Society. Ldok at it." ' The generals were again greeted with derisive cheers and taunts, and were finally compelled to leave the groaning and hissing mob. At Fayette, Mo., the generals received even worse treatment than at Paris, and for a time violence was threatened the candidates. The party was greeted by a howling mob, which seemed bent on causing trouble from the moment the train stopped. No sooner had the two generals emerged upon the car platform than a Bryan banner bearing the inscription "Fayette DemoCiGtiaCIub" wis thrust ii to General Palmer's face by its bearer. A citizen named Williams tried to urge peace and the gold men rallied and rushed the Bryan banner back. This only made the di:uuibers more ugly. A .man trit d to punch General Buckner M-lth a flagpole, and Williams seined it and the crowd rushed upon him and began beating him. The rioters then tried to get at the gcn.rals and strike them v. ith thlr banners. Scores of men fought bitterly around the car end. women were pusheci about and knocked down, and msny blows were exchanged. An old farmer climbed on to the reir end of the car and shouted. "You are carrying Missouri for McKinley!" He was pulled down by the crowd. After five minutes of fighting, screaming and tooting of horn's the train pulled cut without the candidates even attempting to make a speech. Most of the rioters were young men and belonged to the so-called Fayette Democratic Club. They wore hi mi white hats, with Bryan's name inscribed thereon, and white badges. Most of them seemed to b?long to the well-to-do element. Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Buckner, who are accompanying the candidates, were witnesses of the F."ehes-cf dirorder. Aboard the train the party showed the utmost surprise at the treatment accorded. Said General Buckner: "All through Iowa we were treated with great courtesy. I did not believe we would be shewn such disrespect in Missouri."- The men who stood on the rear platform of the car at Fayette vtre Pope Yeamans. -t Columhla, who was between General Palmer and General Buckner; Major Lewis, of the Hannibal water works; T. B. Buekner, of Kansas City; Thomas B. Skinner and Arthur Lee, of St. Louis; Rufus Anderson, of Hannibal, and J. W. Richards, of Chicago, who was in charge of the tram for the National Democratic committee. They all saw the men seize Williams and all declare that while one garroted him another twisted hi beard, and a third tried to gouge out his eyes, while others held his legs and ai ms. They saw the man who bore an American flag sweep the spear point of the staff at the eyes of General Buckner. They saw the large Bryan banner, fixed in a form, pushed forward by poles till General Palmer was fairly forced back. They saw the Central College boys rally and fight the banner back, and saw the lads overwhelmed by numbers, but still fighting. The Central College boys ran after the tram and with loud cries begged the generals to believe that had they known of the plan they would have stopped it with the aid of the good citizens and the old soldiers. Women stood in the station while this riot was going on and wept. ...... At other points along the line the party was greeted by respectful crowds, and the remainder of the trip to Kansas City, whict place was reached this evening, was mad i without incident. , At Warrensburg. to-day. General Pa mer said: "I promise you, my fellow-Democrats I will not consider it any great fault if vou decide next Tuesday to cast your ballots for William McKinley. although you may, if you desire it, vote for Palmer and Buckner." Two big audiences turned out here to night to greet the National Democraticparty's candidates. At the Gillis Theater, into which about three thousand people crowded. General Palmer was the speaker. He referred brieflv to to-day's riotous demonstration at Paris and Fayette, stating that free speech had not been permitted. At Turner Hall General Buckner and Judge Chester H. Krum. of St. Louis, addressed a big audience. At both places the audiences were respectful and attentive. Before the party left the city for St. Louis, at 11 o'clock to-night, Gen. Palmer addressed the Veterans' Sound-money League at one of the G. A. R. halls. A company'of G. A. R. veterans acted as escort for the party during their stay in the city. POLITICAL SEXSATIOX. - Louinvillc Ponocrat Secure Indictment of Louisville HenublicanN. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 30. The grand jury has ordered indictments drawn against four members of the General Council for bribery in connection with the recent election of sinking fund commissioner. The men accused are Alderman Jenne and Councilmen Webber. Breuer and Sowders, all representatives of the A. P. A. In the grand jury's instruction to the commonwealth's attorney the men are charged with voting on measures in which tliey were directly interested. For some time there have been stories of several members of the General Council holding their offices in violation of the city charter, which prohibits any employe of the city or member of the General Council being interested in any contracts with the city of any character. A large number of city officials and promi nent citizens have been appearing before the grand jury for a week past and when the evidence upon which the indictments are based is made public another municipal sensation is expected. The indicted men are Republicans and as the mayoralty contest di"ides interest with national issues at the present time the grand jury s action will have great political effect; in fact, the Republicans charge that the grand jury has ordered the indictments for that reason alone and with no hope of conviction. Carlisle at Lexington. LEXINGTON. Ky.. Oct. 30. Secretary Carlisle spoke here this afternoon in the opera house. Every inch of room was packed. 3.0'R) people being present. Some found places on the rafters and curtains, which overhung the stage. He was advertised to speak at 2 o'clock, but by 1 o'clock the house was full, and those who did not care to stand began to leave. Almost as many were turned away as got admission. Big dehpatlons came from Georgetown. Purls, Winchester, Mount Sterling, Dan
ville, Nicholasville, Versailles and Frankfort. Secretary Carlisle Was introduced by Colonel Breckinridge. His speech was on the same general line as the one at Covington. Perfect order reigned throughout. The crowd was overwhelmingly with him in sympathy and lost no opportunity of showing it. He said what we needed was a sound-money Congress and the way to get it was to vote for Breckinridge. At the close of his speech Breckinridge made a ten-minute talk. The city is decorated with flags and bunting. This morning Mr. Carlisle held an informal reception in the parlors of the Phoenix Hotel. lVatnon Say He Is Out of the Race. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 30. Thomas E. Watson spoke at Sandersville to-day in behalf of West, the Populist candidate for Congress in the Tenth district. In the course of his remarks he said: "I am out of the race in Georgia. There are two tickets you can vote next Tuesday Bryan and Sewall or McKinley and Hobart. and if you can't stand either stay at home." He paid his respects to the tusions that have been effected in various States, especially Kansa.s, and to his treatment in North Carolina. He said Butler had arranged the most beautiful fusion ever seen. "If I were to go into that State to speak." he exclaimed, "what could I say? I. could only repeat the Ten Commandments, say the Lord's prayer and dismiss the congregation." Mr. Watson is not looking well, his voice Is not strong and he seems to be jaded.

LITTLE ROCK, -Ark., Oct 30.-An examination of the records in the clerk's office of Benton county discloses the fact that J. R. Sovereign, Gtneral Master Workman of the Knights of Labor and national committeeman for Arkansas of the People's party, has neglected to pay his poll tax. Mr. Sovereign is on the fusion electoral ticket in this State as a candidate for elector at large.

HuftKin May Loe Her Gold. LONDON, Oct. 30. The correspondent of the London Times at Berlin furnishes his newspaper with an important statement regarding the finances of Russia. He says: "I hear from St. Petersburg that the Czar has decided to postpone the currency reform which it was proposed to submit to the State Council this autumn. This proposed reform of the Russian currency, briefly, was to be an introduction of a new gold coinage, to correspond exactly with the present value of the silver and the paper rouble. The Ministry of Finance is offering to purchase bullion and foreign gold. Some twenty tons of new coined silver are arriving every fortnight from France and new copper coinage is being struck at tiie mint in Birmingham. All Russian officials are now paid partly in gold and silver and the public is compelled to accept metal to which it has not hitherto been used. The proposed coinage has been called devaluation and depreciation of the currency by its opponents and most disastrous consequences are foretold, including the probable efflux of gold." 1 A Warlike Hint. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 30. A panic was caused Thursday evening by the gun practice of the French guard ship in the Sea of Marmora.

FROST IN WISCONSIN
IT WAS DEEP YELLOW AXD OXLY SEEX WHERE BR VAX SPOKE. Biff Crowd at Many Place, hut Most of the People Were Vnresponnive Republicans. RIOT RT ONE OF THE TOWNS WHERE POPOCRATS TRIED TO DESTROY REPIBLICAX BAXXERS. I'limorn Statement from Mr. Bryan Denying; Certain Charge Made During: the Campaign. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MADISON, Wis., Oct. 30. There was a heavy frost In Wisconsin to-day a' yellow frost that seemed to cover almost every4 thing along the route taken' by W.' J, Bryan in his run through the Badger State; Wrcrdfcer the Popocratic candidate went yellow was the prevailing color. The frost seemed to affect only Popocrats, for the Republicans were in jubilant mood. It was the severest frost Mr. Bryan has encountered since he began his jaunt about the country. At all stations were crowds, but at most of them McKinley men, women and children, wearing yellow badges, outnumbered three to one the wearers of white ribbons. At some of the places it was difficult to find enough Popocrats to give the usual cheer for the nominee. The lack of enthusiasm was a surprise to the people who accompanied Mr. Bryan, for they had been led to believe Wisconsin was not an "enemy's country." At Green Bay Mr. Bryan was Introduced by ex-Governor Peck and made his usual financial speech to an unappreclatlve assemblage composed largely of Republicans. In closing Mr. Bryan said: "We declare against contracts payable in a particular kind of money. We are in favor of legislation which, for the future, will prevent the making of special contracts, and our reason for it is this: That money is a thing - necessary to our society, and if we have two kinds of money it is desirable that they should float together, if contracts are ma.de payable in a particular kind of money, and if you have enough of those special contracts, you create an extra demand for one kind of money and you drive it to a premium and destroy parity between your moneys. I do not believe that any individual should defy the government and attempt to destroy the government's financial policy.." At Devere and Kaukauna yellow badges predominated. At the latter place Mr. Bryan showed his ignorance of the financial situation by trying to turn the speculators' flurry in Wall street to his own account. He maintained that the high rate lor call loans was due to the scarcity of money, when everybody who has read the bank statements knows the vaults of the bankn never contained so much idle money a; now. Mr. Bryan ignored the fact that bankers are unwilling to take risks until it is definitely settled that the Popocratic gang of repudiators will not have control of the government. At Appleton, Neenah. Menasha and Oshkosh the crowds were large, but were composed mostly of Republicans. When Janesville was reached .there was a disturbance which at one time looked as if it might beeome serious. This point was reached about dusk, and there bad congregated about the station a large assembly of people. There was an almost complete absence of the gold badges. Mr. Bryan had scarcely begun speaking, however, when a procession crossed tne railroad tracks in the rear of the audience. It soon developed that the procession was composed of a uniformed McKinley club, carrying banners, mottoes and pictures of the Republican candidates and a. large American flag. The Popocrats at once attempted to break up the? procession and made a dash for the banners. There was a lively fight, during which some of the banners were torn to pieces and a number of the combatants injured about the nose und eyes. In his speech Mr. Bryan said: "I am glad to have our opponents here tecaus3 it is our opponents that ife desire to reach rather than those who are already right. There is one banner which ought to be carried this year In Republican parades which I have never found there. It is a banner which sets forth the idea contained in the Republican platform on the money question. The banner ought to read, "We are American citizens, but we think the American people are not big enough to attend to their own business.' There is another banner that might appropriately be a Republican one. and it is this: "We think that our government is safer in the hands of foreign creditors than it is in the hands of America, people.' There is another banner that might be carried and it would read like this: 'Syndicates are safer custodians of the liberties of the people than the people themseive-s.' And there is another motto that might be carried and that is this: 'The gold-standard advocates like a cheerful giver who is willing to give all he earns that the rich may be richer and the poor poorer.' " At Fond du Lac there was another big display of gold badges. Brief stops were made at Chester, Juneau, Jefferson, Fort Atkinson and Evansville. J , There were three speeches planned for the nominee at this place, but, owing to the arrival of the candidate at an earlier hour than was anticipated, and a misunderstanding on the part of the committee, one of them had to be dropped. At the gymnasium a large ci owd heard the candidate, although he arrived there much ahead of time. The other me.eting was in the Assembly chamber, and that room was packed with an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Bryan left at 8::;0 to-night for Iowa. Beginning at Mount Pleasant at 7 o'clock to-morrow morning, he will speak in that State throughout the day, and in the evening will address an audience in Council Bluffs, and probably two or three more in Omaha DEXIALS FROM BHYAX. But Xo Affidavit to Show that He I Speaking- the Truth. MADISON, Wis., Oct. 30. Mr. Bryan today gave out the following statement: "1 have not attempted to answer all of the misrepresentations which have been circulated in this campaign, but in these closing davs I feel that it is necessary to call vour attention to an attack which has recentlv been made by the enemy. I find that the Republicans are circulating among Catholic citizens the charge that I am or have been a member of the American Protective Association. I have also learned that I have been accused of being a member of a society which I think is known as the Junior Order of American Mechanics. At the same time I have been accused in other quarters of being opposed to the public school system and having voted against the teaching of the English language in the public schools of New Mexico. While I have attempted to confine my discussion of public issues to the questions raised by my platform and have considered the money question paramount to all others, I take this opportunity to explain my position upon the religious controversy w hich has been raised. "I am not, and never have been, a member of the American Protective Association or of the Junior Order of American Mechanics or of any other society hostile to any church, religion or race, nor have I ever applied for membership in any such organization. While 1 am a member of the Presbyterian Church I have always believed that there should be no religious test applied in the holding of public offices. I am a believer in the public school system. I attended public schools myself and my children are now attending public school. While I recomrnlze the rights of parents to send their children to private schools and colleges if they so desire, I believe that the free public school must remain a port of our system of government in oreier that the means, of education shall be within the reach of every child in the land. The Democratic members of Congress voted against a proposed amendment to the Constitution of New Mexico which compelled the teaching of the English language in the public schools, not' localise the Democrats were opposed to public schoois, or to the teaching of the English language in such schools, but because they did not deem it necessary or wise to require a pledge from the ieople of New Mexico which had not been required of the people of the other Territories seeking admission. "I trust that those who support the policies set forth in the Democratic platform will not allow themselves to be alienated from my support by any affidavit which may be circulated by polltlcu.1 enemies. I
have tried so far as I dould to conduct this campaign in an open and honorable way, and have insisted that those who are with us should refrain from personal criticism of my opponents and leave the people to puss judgment upon the principles which Ave represent." NEW BICYCLE RECORDS.

Effort to Compare Picture of Jefferson to that of Andre. The Sentinel contained a false and malicious article yesterday morning intended to add further insults to the sound-money Democrats, in which it declared that a portrait of Major Andre, the British spy, had been placed upon the ballots instead of that of Tnomas Jefferson. iy some mistake an unfamiliar picture of Jefferson was substituted for that submitted by Chairman Pickens. He says the substitution was made by some of the officers of the Board of Election Commissionra or by the State Printer. Mr. Burford, State Printer, says that he was never furnished with a portrait of Jefferson for the ticket, although Mr. Pickens submitted a portrait to the commissioners. Mr. Burford says ne was unanie to get' a cut in either Chicago or Cincinnati, and went to 11. Lieber & Co., where he setcured a steel engraving marked Thomas Je-fferson. It seems that there are two authentic pictures of Jefferson extant, the less familiar of which has been used. The Andre portrait, when compared with that on the ballots, is entirely different. Beverlda-e Called Back to ChicuKo. Mr. Albert J. Beverldge, who made such a favorable impression at the Chicago Auditorium Thursday night, will return to Chicago Monday night to address the great final Republican meeting to be held at the Chicago Coliseum, which seats thirty thousand people. Mr. Bevenclge was invited by the Hamilton Club, of Chicago, immediately after his speech, at the Auultorium. Prohahly a Fake. In yesterday's Journal there appealed the offer of a man, who gave his name as Dwyer and said he represented Barnum & Bailey's circus, to bet $2,000 that Al Duty can lift two thousand pounds. W. C. Boyd, who has been with Barnum & Bailey for six years, says Dwyer does not represent the circus owners and never has represented them. Colored Kniht of Pythias. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I would like to call the attention of all negro voters of the State' to the fact that R. M. Mitchell, of Chicago, is not the supreme chancellor of -the colored K. of P., neither has he ever been, as was stated in the Sentinel. J. C. Ross, No. 24 Gwinnett street, Savannah, Ga., is the supreme chancellor of the colored K. of P. I shall say here, in behalf of the order, and I am sure I voice the sentiments of many, that all true knights are true to their country which they have consecrated their swords to God to defend. Mr. Mitchell deceived colored men once as a Pythian and I am sure they will not trust their only privilege to his arguments or vote according to his direction. We wish the white Pvthians of Indianapolis to know that R." M. Mitchell, the Popocrat la go, of Chicago, is not the head of the Order of Knights of Pythias of Color of America. The question may be asked: Who is the person who knows the above to be the fact? I feel it my duty as a knight to defend the right, and, say that it is one who has traced the colored voters of this country through history down to this day and finds it an easv task, for as the history of Ireland might be traced like a wounded man through a crowd by the blood, the same may be said of the history of the colored voters of this country. They have marched to the ballot box in the face of gleaming weapons, wounds and death. This was in the States that were then in possession of the same element of Democracy that is yelling free silver now a foul and damning conspiracy against reason, law and Constitution. How any. leading colored men can indorse such a party I cannot see. Although this is no question of party, it is a question of law and government; It is a question whether men shall be protected by law or be left to the mercy of cyclones of anarchy and bloodshed; it is whether the government or the mob shall rule this land; whether the promises solemnly made in the Constitution be manfully kept or meanly and flagrantly broken. Upon this vital noint I a.sk the wYiole of my people, and especially those of Indiana, to take notice that whatever of political power we have shall be exerted in favor of law. order and sound money, and if we are true to ourselves wo will bear in mv'd that our own Gabriel will sound the trumpet for our attention on the third day of November.
