Indianapolls, Ind. wherever goes the American flag there follow in its path of glory these fruits of free institutions. For. fellow-citizens, American Institutions follow the American flag. CHECK TO PROGRESSThe opiosition tfcll you that' the Constitutions follows the flag. It is the very re versal of the order in which liberty pro ceeds. Our institutions follow the flag. "When they have done their work then the Constitution follows the flag. If the Constitution follows the flag-, and if, therefore, any land over which that flag is raised becomes a part of the Republic, as this State is a part of the Republic, and its inhabitants become citizens of the United States, as you and I are citizens of the United States, then our fathers, -unthinking, put a period to the progress of this Nation. If this is true, no point of strategy in all the seas, no place of power on all tne globe, can ever be held by the Republic, We can acquire no Gibraltars, because the people on that plot of ground would be made citizens if the Constitution follows the flag, and that would be a situation more difficult than a Gibraltar itself, would be advantageous. We can never own a strip of land on cither side of the isthmian canal, because the people living there would be made citizens of the Republic if the Constitution follows the flag, and that would be a situation more difficult than the ownership of the canal would be advantageous. The opposition platform itself declares that "to make the Filipinos citizens Is to endanger our civilization." These are. the consequences of tho proposition that the Constitution follows the flag. No mind to-day is sufficiently comprehensive to even dream of the possibilities of the Republic for a century to come. Only the American masses, with their prophetic instinct of national poweran Instinct that throughout all the history of our race has never erred comprehend the possibilities, nay, the certainties of America's future. Some of the powers of the present are In their decline. In the to-morrow of the nations they will dissolve. Those roints of vantage from which the waterways of the world, and therefore, the world itself, are controlled, which we do not already possess, will some day piss into other hands than those which now hold them. Shall we be eicluded? Shall America not be made toe master of the seas? And shall we decide this question in the negative from within our little horlzcu of to-day a question which searches inco the invisible horizons of the unmeasured future? . The opposition say that we shall, as a matter of policy. The opposition say that we shall, as a matter of constiutlonal limitation. And we who support the government say that we shall not. We say that we shall leave our hand? untied for the future. We say that when the Constitution declares in words that ring like the command of a captain ordering an advance, "Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting territory and other property belonging to the United States." the Constitution gives the government all the power that the Republic needs to master the present situation; and In the very giving of that power destroys the absurd proposition that the Constitution follows the flag. For if the Constitution does not follow the flag, then this power which the Constitution gives Congress over territory belonging to the United States is unnecessary and absurd If the Constitution follows the flag, it is already over "territory belonging to the United States;" and Congress has no right to deal with it by "needful rules and regulations;" Congress has no light to "dispose of" it; Congress has no right to treat it as this section of the Constitution says It may. as. "property belonging- to the United States." THE CONSTITUTION. What is the Constitution, my fellowcitizens? Is the Constitution liberty? No, because we had liberty before we had the Constitution. Is it the flag? Nc, because we had the flag before we had the Constitution. Is it independence? No, because we had Independence before we had the Constitution. Is it freo institutions? - No, because we had fre-3 institutions before we had the Constitution. What is the Constitution, then? A method of national government. What was the purpose of establishing It? To provide a method of government. What is its ruling spirit? The spirit of a united nationality. What are its most pacred words? "We. the people of the United States of America." It is an ordinance of national unity; that was the intention of its founders. It is a method of national administration: a necessity, for that was what produced it. It Is the last, the highest and most complex and most holy of all the Institutions oa" free men I say holy, for to me all institutions of liberty are holy. And because it is the highest and most difficult expression of free Institutions, it Is the very last of our ln Ktitutlcns which ought to follow the flag. The Constitution did not create free Institutions. Free institutions created it. Our Constitution did not create libery. Liberty created it. The eternal analogy cannot e impaired. Evolution Is as true in the institutions of mankind as in the flora and fauna of the natural world. Seed produces other seed, fruits spring from parent fruit, and where effort is made in cultivation, always proceeding toward higher, more complex and more perfect forms; and Just so institutions produce institutions. Out of the forms of liberty, for liberty cannot exist without forms, spring higher forms and nobler. And to give to children who do not know what liberty means, who have not the most elemental idea of free institutions to load upon their shoulders the mighty weight of the Constitution is the most monstrous proposition vr produced by th? exigencies of a political campaign. You mU;ht as well require your children to learn the alphabet by reading Dante in the original; to acqulie the multiplication table by making a calculation in astronomy, as to give th American Constitution the highest, the mc-st complex nml most difficult form of government devised by all human experience to Filipino or Porto Rican. Let a generation in each island learn by experience what government is for; let them behold property protected without a bribe. Justice administered speedily. puhMcly and without price, property kept from the hand of the vandal. Iif shielded from the lenife f'f the assassin, fret; speech guarded even by those whom is assails, and education developing day In th midnight which till now has reigned Ir the minds of the masses. And then, when American Institutions have thus done their pure and p-T-frri work, then Is t lie sra'n to consider whether the Constitution hall follow the r.-g. AMERICANS CAN RE TRUSTED. And when tho time arrives when these wards of th Nation can use the Constitution the Amerlr-au peoph will give it to them. It is tmioflble that American mase. will nrt do Justice. It I impossible that the American pvople will not work righteousness. Wh n that dark day shall cr.me thru will com the end of the Republic.

American millions. So long a.3 they are wise and righteous no form of government, no development of administration can shake the foundations of the Republic, for the wisdom and righteousness of the American people are the rock on which this Republic is bullded. When the righteousness and wisdom of the American people shall perish no form of government, no written or unwritten constitution can save the Republic, for the foundations on which the Republic is bullded will have been dissolved. If the opposition tell you that it is to preserve tho liberty, the virtue, the wisdom, the -righteousness of the American people themselves that they have resisted American administration over American possessions, which they declare will corrupt our purposes and corrode our national con science. I answer that the common experi ence of the world In the present and in the past destroys that proposition. The liberties of Englishmen hav never grown so rapidly as during the pe'iod of her colonial development. The privileges of the crown have never declined so rapidly as during the period of England's swiftest colonial advance. The spirit of republicanism in France has had a healthy growth only in the last quarter of a century; and yet this is the precise period when France, for the first time since the days of Colbert, has been developing a ratloryil scheme of colonial empire. No! No! Free institutions are not destroyed by extending them. He is not the best guardian of liberty who would be a miser of liberty. American education will not perish because we plant the schoolhouse In the islands of the sea. AMERICA. ADVANCE! American free speech will not be paralyzed because we give free speech to our children wards. American equality before the law will not decay because we give that blessing to those whom God has placed In our hands. America will not decline because her Institutions are planted by her heroic sons in new lands and among new peoples. No! No! Faith In the American people he who has It not is an infidel to free institutions; for the hope of the American people is not in free Institutions, but the hope of free Institutions is in the American people. I do not fear them this glorious new race whom God has prepared to lead the world in the dawning century; this mighty, young and vital race called the American people; compounded of all the rugged, virile peoples of the world, enthroned on an Imperial, sea-surrounded continent, and with the keys of the future In their hands. For the American people are a. new race among mankind; not AngloSaxon only, not Teutonic only, not Celtic only, not Latin only, but the unexhausted elements of all. And I have faith in them. Ry our memory of Washington and his Continentals. I have faith in them; by our memory of Jackson and his buckskin-costumed heroes, I have faith In them; by our memory of Abraham Lincoln and his conquering hosts of blue aye! even by our memory of the splendid courage of the armies of the gray; by the story of the onward march of the American flag from the day it was unfurled; by our consciousness of the tremendous vitality and noble character of the generation Just coming into actionworthy sons and daughters of glorious fathers and mothers; by all the history of our past and all we see on every side to-day, I have faith in the American people. America righteous! America progressive! America industrial! America militant; America triumphant! these are the notes of glory, happiness and power to which, when struck, the American .people ever have responded and ever will respond. The American people! belief in them or doubt of them this is the ultimate and elemental Issue of this campaign. I believe In them with all my soul I believe in them. I look into the future and see the flag of the American people leading all the flags of earth, and hear, rising above the airs of all the nations, the music of the old flfe and drum of Trenton and of Yorktown, of Vlcksburg and the Wilderness, of Santiago and Manila, still sounding as they have ever sounded, American advance. And woe to him who would have them sound retreat. $400 fl VOTE PROMISED SEXSATION'AL TESTI3IOXY EV THE CLEVELAND BRIBERY CASE. Witness State that the Gametvell Company I'aed Cash on All Side: Payments Wer Cat Down. CLEVELAND, Oct. 1. The star witness thus far in the Council bribery Investigation was on the stand to-day. He is W. II. Boyd, the attorney who represents the Chicago Municipal Signal Company, and the testimony he gave startled even those who were sanguine that If money had been paid to secure the contract for the police signal system for the Gamewell Company, the fact would not be exposed. From Mr. Boyd's testimony it became evident that he suspected crookedness In the Council almost from the time the bids for the contract for the police signal system were opened, and that he watched the proceedings much closer than any one on the outside was aware of. lie named the countilmen whom he declared he had reasons for believing always stood together in voting, among them being President Steur himself. The greatest share of the Information which Mr. Boyd declared he obtained on the alleged crooked transactions, he says, came from one of the couneilmen alleged to have been bribed. Mr. Boyd, in hts testimony, charged that the Gamewell Company promised to pay SidO a vote, and that when the goods were delivered tut off the men who were bought with $20u each. At this, Mr. Boyd testified, some of the couneilmen were indignant and were seeking to "throw down" the Gameweil Company on the contract for the lire telegraph alarm system when it came up for approval. The witness also testified that Howard Burgess, the clerk of the Council, had told him that money had been paid to councilmen. "Mr. B:irges told me," said Mr. Boyd, "I am getting nothing out of this myself, but you know I am always on the watch out tor the boys, and if there is anything I can get for them, I go after it." He further test tiled that Councilman O'Bonnell had said to him that Howard had told him that "Directors Barrett and Ilyman were nettinjc a rak-off of SS.oki on the contract, and that he did not like to see them hog everything"." Also that Howard was "getting in his work and that the Gamewell Company was going after the contract with the stuff, and that if tho Chicago Municipal Signal Company wanted unvthing they would have to go after it with the cash."

TREACHERY OF THE FILIPINOS THE ItECOIlIJS CLEARLY FIX RESPONSIBILITY ON AGl'IXALDO, And Deprive? Democratic Orator of One of Their Favorite Weapons in Assailing Republicans. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 1. The Hon. William Dudley Foulke was tendered a magnificent ovation to-night by the people of this city, his home. It was not only the largest local political gathering of the campaign, but was undoubtedly the largest Indoor meeting of the kind ever held in Richmond. Fully - three thousand persons crowded into the Main-street Rink, and twenty minutes before the speaking began the Immense auditorium was filled to its utmost. The Hon. Lewis D. Stubbs presided over the meeting, and seated with him upon the platform were the Hon. Isaac Jenklnson. tho Hon. John L. Rupe and Judge Henry C. Fox. The entrance of Mr. Foulke was a signal for applause, and when he was formally presented to the audience by Mr. Stubbs, there was a great demonstration. For more than an hour Mr. Foulke held the closest attention of his audience; very frequently throughout he was interrupted by applause. Mr. Foulke began his speech with a comparison of the candidates of the two parties, thence passing to the question of imperialism. The latter portion of his remarks was devoted to consideration of responsibility for the beginning of hostilities in the Philippines. On this topic Mr. Foulke said: More fairy tales have been told concerning the Philippine rebellion, by the guileless believers in Agulnaldo, than have appeared anywhere else in modern fiction. Let me relate to you a few simple facts: When our war with Spain broke out, Agulnaldo was at Singapore and had two Interviews with Consul General Pratt, as the result of which Aguirtaldo proceeded to Hong-Kong, where he found that Dewey and his fleet had gone to Manila. On the 5th of May he met the Filipino Junta Sandico. Agoncillo Muntenegro, and others were present, and a signed document recording their proceedings was subsequently captured by our forces. It appears from this document that Agulnaldo did not want to go to Manila lest Dewey might himself sign and seal some document which would be, prejudicial. (No agreement had been made then.) Butafter speeches by Sandico and others he was persuaded to go because it was said "There will be no better occasion than the present for the expeditionary forces to arm themselves at the expense of the Americans and assure the attainment of our legitimate aspirations against those very people.' No matter what promise Dewey might require, they were first to get our guns and then to fight us with them. And that is what they did. So Agulnaldo goes to Manila, accompanied by thirteen of this precious band, and with smiling face and oriental fawning he asks and receives from Dewey the arms we had captured from the arsenal at Cavite. with the black thought even then in hl3 crafty soul that each musket he received from the American commodore should some day send its fatal charge to -an American heart. This is no mere conjecture; it is a solemn record established by signed documentary evidence, and it scatters to the air all the chaff about their confiding reliance and our broken faith. Agulnaldo organized his forces under the protection of Dewey's guns and within six days after landing he issued a proclamation in which ie declared thai "the great North American Nation considered the Filipinos sufficiently civilized to be capable of governing the country." (Bureau Navigation Rep. Page 104.) Agulnaldo knew that this was not true at the time he said it, yet that made no difference. Early in May, before Agulnaldo came to Manila, Major Gurzalex and other representatives of the insurgents on the island visited Consul William;, who was with Dewey in the Olympia, and gave assurance to him that they "would swear allegiance to and cherfully follow our flag." (Senate Dec. 62. Page 326). All they wanted was deliverance from the dreadful cruelties of Spain. But this plan did not suit the ambitious projects of Agulnaldo, who at once seized upon autocratic power, and on May 24 proclaimed himself dictator and established a so-called "government" which he says "will set forth decrees under my sole responsibility." (Bureau Navigation Rep. Page 104.) , On June 12. Agulnaldo held a council to form a provisional government; our consul was urged to attend, for they no doubt desired the semblance of recognition on our part, but he declined. A form of government was adopted, but on June 16, lour days later. Agulnaldo told Consul Williams "that his friends all hoped that the Philippines would be held as a colony of the United States of America." and the consul sends his report of this conversation on the very day when it occurred. Was Aguinaldo telling the truth? If so, the treaty of Paris transferring the islands to us six months afterwards was made in lulfillment of their own desires. If he was lying, and said this thing to ingratiate himself with our representative, he cannot Justly blame the American Republic, if we take him at his word. A BRIEF DICTATORSHIP. On June IS he issued a proclamation putting Into effect his system of provisional or dictatorial government, but the dictatorship lated only nine days after this proclamation. Such is the permanency of Filipino institutions. On June 27, he proclaimed himself "President" of the "revolutionary" government and outlined his secretaryships to be appointed by himself "of his own choice," as well as all subordinate olllclals. Article 10 of his so-called constitution provides that the president Is the personification of the Philippine people and that it is not to be possible to hold him responsible while he fills the office. This is one of the attributes of royalty. His term i: to last until the revolution triumphs. A Congress is provided for, but if any province is not able to elect representatives because not liberated from Spanish dominion, the government (that is, Aguinaldo), shall appoint for it, provisional representatives. Hence the Congress was practically appointed by Aguinaldo. Article 16 provides that Congress shall bo consulted in ail Important questions the determination of which admits of delay or adjournment, but the President shall have IK) wer to decide all questions of urgent character. Article 24 provides that the acts oi Congress shall not take effect until the President orders their execution. (Senate Doc. A p. 4:51.1 It requires no argument to show that this government is a despotism and that Agulnaldo is an irresponsible autocrat. The talk about government derivii g its just powers from the consent of the governed under such a constitution is the sheerest moonshine. This Is not a traditional sovereignty recognized by the customs of the people. It is the mere usupatlon of an upstart, and whatever seeming ratification It has since received at the hands of a part of the Tagal tribe, their approval lias been caused by the circulation among his ignorant followers of the most impudent falsehoods regarding our character and our purposes. Newspapers have been circulated among the Filipino mothers telling them that it is the design of the Americans to bring their daughters to the United States for criminal purioses and to ell their sons as slaves. The statement has been circulated and believed everywhere that in 1S60 we entered upon a war for the purpose of suppressing servile Insurrection, which was ended with the extermination of the negroes. They are also told that It Is our purpose to Imprison them in reservations, as they say we have done to oi:r Indians previous to their extermination. By the means of such falsehoods as these they have aroused the fears of many of the Filipino people, and by threats and frequent assassinations they prevent others from Joining us who are

willing and anxious to submit to American rule. In July General Anderson reached the Philippines with the first body of American troops, and the first thing that our socalled "ally" proposed to do was to attack them when they landed. In a letter dated July 23. 1S3S, he actually warned General Anderson not to tend any troops on Philippine soil without his consent! (S. D. 62. P. 43.) But his forces were too weak; he dared not risk a conflict with the American troops, so he gave over his intent. He ordered his Filipinos, however, not to furnish supplies to the Americans, and General Anderson wrote him, telling him if he refused to do so he (General Anderson) would be forced to make requisitions directly upon the people. Agulnaldo then yielded and furnished the supplies. THE SOVEREIGNTY QUESTION. Spain sued for peace Aug. 12, the protocol was signed which provided that the disposition of the Philippines was to be left to the Joint commission, and in the meantime we were to keep possession of Manila and its suburbs. Two days after this, without knowledge of the signing of the protocol, our troops actually captured Manila, and the surrender was made to the Americans alone, not to the Filipinos. But Aguinaldo wanted to come In and plunder the town. General Merrltt would not allow him to enter, and a line of demarkation was drawn between our troops within the city and the Filipino troops who were outside. When Agulnaldo cosented to this line he wrote to Merrltt that if in consequence of the negotiations the sovereignty of Spain was continued in the islands his troops should be placed in as good condition as when Manila was taken. By this letter he admits that Spain still had sovereignty there (a thing which our Democratic friends deny), and by it he certainly shows that he had no understanding with us at that time as to what was to be the ultimate disposition of the Philippines. The commissioners met at Paris, and the question arose, what were we to do with the islands? We could not again consign them to the tyranny of Spain, nor could we cast them as an apple of discord into the arena of strife among the nations of Europe. The Joint protectorate proposed by some of our anti-imperialistic friends was

the maddest scheme possible. To deliver these people to the care of guardians who are continually fighting each other offers no prospect of happiness for the Filipinos. Turkey has long been subject to this sort of joint protectorate, and the Armenian massacre and the war in Crete show how it has succeeded. To deliver the islands to any single European power would have involved great danger of a European war. To have promised independence to the Filipinos would be to deliver them to anarchy. The Paris commission took a large amount of testimony as to the capability of the Filipinos for self-government. The testimony was unanimous that they were incapable. It came from witnesses many of whom had spent years upon the Islands and know the people well. In view of this testimony only one course was possible for the President, and that was to keep the islands ourselves and establish a stable government therein. What was the course of Aguinaldo, the leader of our so-called Filipino "allies" during the negotiation of tho treaty? On Oct. 23, six weeks before the treaty was signed, a letter was written from Mololos, the capital of the so-called Filipino government, signed in cipher 11961 M. M is the first letter of Ming, and Ming in the Filipino cipher is Emilio, the first name of Aguinaldo. The letter was written on paper used in the private office of the President; it was written to General Rios, then commanding the Spanish forces at Hollo. AGUINALDO'S HOPE. The writer expresses a hope "of yet saving from shipwreck the sovereignty of Spain," and says that General Augustine (the Spanish governor general at Manila) had not paid any attention to the frank warnings I gave him, with noble intentions. In my letter of June 9 last." It therefore appears that the writer had been intriguing with Spain as early as June 9, when not a single American soldier had yet landed on the islands. The letter proposed the union of the Filipino republic with Spain, "the flags of Spain and the Philippines will float side by side, and in the meantime we shall fight the Americans together." It thus appears that the Filipino government

was Intriguing .with Spain to fight us in October, and yet our anti-imperialistic friends, tell us that it was President McKinley who declared war by his proclamation in December ordering our army to take possession of the. islands. This proclamation was not known to the Filipinos until Jan. 4. and in it the President tells them that we come not as enemies, but as friends to secure them in their rights and liberties. Long before the Filipinos under Sandico had organized a secret military organization inside of Manila called the Sand-ta-han. On the öth of January, nearly a month before the conflict began. Aguinaldo Issues his instructions to the Sand-ta-han for an attack upon the American forces, containing the following: "Instructions to the brave soldiers of the Sand-ta-han of Manila. "Article S. The chief of those who go to attack the barracks should send in first four men with a good present for the American commander. Immediately after will follow four others, who will make a pretense of looking for the same officer for some reason, and a larger group shall be consealed In the corners or houses in order to aid the other groups at the first signal. This, wherever is possible, at the moment of attack. "Art. 4. They should not, prior to to the attack, look at the Americans in a threatening manner. To the contrary, the attack on the barracks by the Sandtahan should be a complete surprise and with decision and courage. One should go alone In advance In order to kill the sentinel. In order to deceive the sentinel the one should dress as a woman and must take great care that the sentinel is not able to discharge his piece, thus calling the attention of those in the barracks. This will enable his companions who are approaching to assist in the general attack. "Art. 6. The officers shall take care that on the top of the houses along the streets where the American forces shall pass there will be placed four to six men who shall be prepared with stones, timbers, redhot irons, heavy furniture, as well as boiling water, oil and molasses, rags soaked in oil ready to be lighted and thrown down and any other hard and heavy objects that they can throw on the passing American troops." N GEN. OTIS' S TESTIMONY. General Otis, who then commanded the Americans, had assured Agulnaldo that we would not attack them, saying in his letter: "I am under the strictest orders of the President of the United States to avoid a conflict in every way possible." The Filipinos had long been throwing up intrenchments and armed soldiers had many times crossed the line of demarkation and had Insulted the American soldiers for the evident purpose of provoking a conflict. Agulnaldo had set the time of attack for Feb. 5, but It occurred one day before. At half past 8 o'clock on the evening of Feb. 4 an Insurgent patrol of four armed soldiers entered our territory at block house No. 7. They were challenged three times and Private Grapson, the sentry, fired, as it was his duty to do. Immediately signals were given througout the Filipino lines for an immediate attack. Dewey saw these signals from his fleet. We resisted the attack and then In our turn we attacked the Filipino intrenchments and drove them back at every point. On that very night of Feb. 4 before any news of the attack had reached America, Agoncillo. the Filipino envoy, secretly escaped from Washington and fled to Canada. Why? Because he knew that the attack had been planned for the following day. After we had driven them oft, it is said by our Anti-imperlal-istlc friends, that Agulnaldo proposed a truce, saying that the lighting was not authorized by him. but Otis replied that fighting having begun it must go on to th crtm end. This is not true. It Is true that on Feb. G Judge Torres, a citizen of Manila, arked Otis if something could not be done to stop the fighting. Otis replied that Agulnaldo had commenced the fighting and must apply for a cessation of hostilities. Torres then asked permission to snd Arguelles to Agulnaldo. and Argucllcs went Nnd told Agulnaldo that Otis would permit a suspension of hostilities upon his request. But Aguinaldo replied that th declaration of war had been made and they furnished him a copy of it! The uprising In th city, which had been planned by Aguinaldo actually took place on Feb. 22. but It was suppressed. Smdlco..who was Agulnaldo's secretary of the Interior, and a member of his staff, had organized the Filipinos within the city and he issued an rrder for the uprising, providing that the Filipino families only were to be spared, but that all others, men. women and children, were to be exterminated without compassion, after the extermination of the American army. Agulnaldo and his "Filipino troops began the war and we are bound to bring It to a

fcuccessful termination. We could not defend Manila only and leave in possession of our enemies the surrounding country, upon which Manila depends for its provisions and support. It is our duty to restore order in the islands and I trust that all questions as to the ultimate destiny of the Philippines will be postponed until that is fully accomplished. BIG PROHIBITION RALLIES.

John G. Woolley nnd Other Speakers in Northern Indiana Town. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. AUBURN. Ind., Oct. L John G. Wooley and the other speakers on the Prohibition special train, which left Chicago this noon, arrived in Auburn to-night, after a trip which included four stops in Indiana, closing with an evening rally here. The first stop out of Chicago was at Laporte, where a half hour's meeting was held In the park adjoining the depot. Messrs. Wolley, Cushing, Dickie and Charles Eckhart spoke to an audience of S00. The reception of tho candidates at Goshen was the heartiest yet encountered. The Goshen City Band was at .the depot, anl headed the parade to the Courthouse square, where fully thirty-five hundred persons listened to the speaking. An allday3 rally was in progress there, delegations being present from adjacent towns. Mr. Cushing made the opening address. Mr. Woolley followed and was loudly cheered. Mr. Dickie was the last to speak. At MUlersburg. Messrs. Woolley and Cushing spoke fifteen minutes each to an audience of two hundred. Auburn was reached at 6:30, and an evening rally was held in the city park, fifteen hundred persons being present. Addresses were made from the grandstand by Messrs. Woolley, Cushing and Dickie. THE LARGEST MEETING. John P. Irish n Ulg Drawing Card, at Xew Castle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW CASTLE. Ind.. Oct. 1. The largest political meeting of the campaign so far was held In the opera house in this city tonight. John P. Irish made the address under the management of the Gold Democrats of this county. II. A. Urban, a prominent citizen and a Gold Democrat, presided. The opera house was packed, and large crowds were turned away. The address was a clear statement of the money question, and an appeal to all Democrats who refused to vote for Bryan four years ago to remain true to their convictions of that time, and to all Democrats who voted for Bryan four years ago to refuse to longer support the man who does not represent the principles of true Democracy. DEMOCRAT SPOKE FOR M'KIXLEY. Andrew Pereefleld, of Drown County, Opened Republican Campaign. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NASHVILLE, Ind., Oct. 1. The Republicans of Brown county opened the campaign Saturday, in Nashville, by raising a long pole and hoisting the American flag. The address of the day was given by Anderson Percefield," who last week declared himself for McKinley and Roosevelt. Mr. Percefield has been a lifelong Democrat, and in the campaign of 106 spent two months speaking for the Democratic ticket. He talked upon prosperity and expansion, showing the prophecies of Bryan in 18D6 were false. Mr. Percefield is well known all over this county, and his declaration to support the Republican ticket will influence many to follow his example The "Ant I Issue" Drove Ulm Oat. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART. Ind.. Oct. 1. The antl-im-perialism "issue" of the Bryanites has driven from the party O. C. Allen, a member of the art goods and photographers supply house of Allen Bros., of Detroit. He spent Sunday in Elkhart, and freely expressed his disgust with the attempt of the party of opposition to Induce Americans to forget their duty to the flag in the Orient. He staid with the party in li06 despite its free silver theories, and when here as late as last July he announced his intention to remain with the party unless the "anti-imperialism" cry was forced to the front.

CONSERVATIVE GAINS

A LIS III RY SISTAIED IN THE ELECTION TO PARLIAMENT. Winston Spencer Churchill Elected from Oldham as a Conservative with a Liberal Companion. APPOINTMENT OF LORD ROBERTS IT IS RELIEVED TO MAKE WAY FOR OILLEIl IX AFRICA. Fatal Explosion of Roer Ammunition Movements of the Troops In the South African Colonies. LONDON. Oct. 2 3 a. m. Late last evening Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, sent to the editor of the Birmingham Dally Mall the following message to the nation, which was conspicuously displayed on the screen where the paper was announcing the results of the polling: "Patriotism before politics. May the union between the colonies and the motherland, now cemented by their blood, be forever maintained." Considerable interest attached to the speech at Derby of Mr. George Wyndham last evening because it had been semi-of-flclally announced that the pallamentary under secretary of state for war would outline the government's proposals as to army reforms. The chief points In the speech were that the home army should have a higher training. Instead of being regarded as merely a training ground for the supply of the foreign army, and that greater opportunities should be given for home maneuvers on an adequate war scale. Rumors are current this morning that the Marquis of Lansdowne, secretary of state for war, will succeed Earl Cadogan as lord lieutenant for Ireland. A rowdy meeting at Westminster last evening was addressed by the secretary of state for India, Lord George Hamilton, and by. Lord Mayor Newton. The latter's son, after ejecting a disturber, was savagely attacked. His head was forced through a glass panel, and he received a severe scalp wound and other injuries. Considerable excitement was displayed along Fleet street and the Strand, especially around the newspaper offices, where various illuminated devices displayed the election results thus far at hand. The Earl of Portsmouth, who. as Viscount Lymington, formerly represented Barnstable in the House of Commons, has formally withdrawn from the Liberal Unionist Association on the ground that Liberal Unionism no longer means anything but conservatism. The editorials on both sides this morning express satisfaction over yesterday's returns, which the Dally Mall asserts prove that there is no "khaki boom." There was considerable excitement at Oldham while the polling was in progress, everybody taking a holiday.. Mr. Churchill's return gives great satisfaction. "Parliament." the Morning Post remarks, "is obviously the right place for Lord Randolph Churchill's elder son, who has achieved at twenty-six what most men would count as brilliant at. fiftv In the following boroughs all the sitting iJieuiLtt.'rs were re-eiected: Davenport, Durham, Exeter, Kingslynn, Peterborough.

It Should Be Bailer Politics In th Field Slarshal's Promotion. NEW YORK, Oct. l.-The appointment cf Lord Roberts to succeed Lord Wolsele y as commander-in-chief of the British army had all along been expected, says the Lon don correspondent of the Tribune, but the official announcement, made last night. can only be regarded. In view of the gen eral election as a clever political maneu ver. With Lord Roberts as commander-In chief the question of appointing a new sec retary of war will be reduced in impor tance, as the very fact of the hero of the South African campaign being in supreme command of the military forces will be I itself a guarantee of War Office reforms. n Lord Wolseley, it is known, could two or three years ago have had the governor generalship of Canada, but owing to th exisgencies of military affairs at the time he did not see his way to resign the com mandershlp-In-chief. Had he done so the appointment wouia nave gone to the Duke oi connaugnt. rsow, nowevcr, the Queen : sen will have to be content with his ores tnt office of commander of the forces in Ireland. General Duller should succeed Ird rrh erts in South Africa. He will be the senior officer there when the field marshal leaves and there are several others who rank before Kitchener, Transvaal Refugees Sail. LORENZO MARQUES. Oct. 1.
