THE INDIANAPOLIS

JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1900.

delegate. Th vice presidential aspirant looked better physically than when he last appeared in thi city on the Mh of August. He content! himself with the Statement th.it ho brought "Riad tidings" from Illinois und that he would make a longer speech later In tho sessions. The Chicago delegation and Its band of "camp followers" swelled the meaner audience In the hall to something like 2.0r). At no time during the afternoon were the chairs on the platform anything like filled and by the time J. Ham Lewis arose to r peak only about one-fourth of them had occupants. RESOLUTIONS OFFERED. Three resolutions were offered before Mayor Jone, of Toledo, was Introduced. The first was for a vote of thanks to W. Hearst In acknowledgment of his services to the organization of Democratic Clubs, the second providing for a boycott cf firms and corporations who attempt to coerce the votes of their employes and the third providing for a report of the permanent organization committee at the opening of this morning's session. The appearance of Mayor Samuel M. Jones at the edge of the rostrum was the sjgnal for an ovation such as has only heretofore been accorded by Democratic audiences to their "matchless leader," William J. Bryan. Mr. Jones's speech was a trange composite. At the beginning he declared proudly that he owed allegiance to no party. In the middle he asserted that he Is a Socialist, and then wound up with an assurance that he Intends to vote fOi William Jennings Bryan In November a statement which was hailed with a prolonged outburst of applause and cheers, the delegates rising to their feet In excess of enthusiasm at mention of their leader'3 name. Mayor Jones is an Interesting man personally. As he stood on the platform yesterday afternoon, addressing the convention, he looked like a fairly well-dressed mechanic, although some might have found fault with his lack of vest and his lavender-colored negligee shirt. Ills style of rneaking is forceful, but scarcely ever rises to the dignity of true oratory. Mr. Jones Is evidently a man of much reading; particularly the Scriptures, and possesses the knack of constructing striking sentences and periods. "I am a man without a narty, a free, untrammeled soul" was one oF his characteristic utterances. Another was this: "Somebody has said that I am against organization. I am not against anything. I am for everything." In his arraignment of government by force. Mr. Jones referred casually to the race question In the territory south of Mason's anJ Dixon's line. Some of his choicest gems were: "It is a good deal more heroic to be ready to die for the cause of liberty than It Is to be ready to kill somebody else. We don't want our flag to be feared, we want It loved. I am just as ready to go to a Baptist convention. If I am Invited, and make this same speech, or one like It I never make two speeches exactly alike but it is, after all. the same old speech. I am ready even to go to a Republican convention and make It, but I have not teen Invited. You can't get terrapin and I'ommery Sec out of a 'full dinner pall The sad to contemplate about It Is that men to-day who think they are capable of governing the rest of us have such a groveling Idea of life that they hang up a full dinner pall before men's eyes and appeal to them for their suffrages because they propose to till their stomachs. The Oevil tried to tempt Christ when he was an hungered That Is the time to catch em." CAUSED A LAUGH. Mr. Jones created quite a laugh by declaring that like "coor.s, all people look alike" to him. In closing his address he rapped the Frohibitlonists severely by referring to himself as being ready to take a step in advance instead of "standing like a stone well as the Prohibitionists have fctood for twenty-five years and got no where." The "Golden Rule" mayor threw a sop to the women in the audience by asserting that "the mother ought to be the political equal of tho son she rears; there would then be no question about the victory." Mr. Jones was heaped with honors fter hU speech, three cheers being first rroposed and given with a will and afterwards a votj of thanks tendered him for his "able argument in behalf of liberty." Two telegr:ima were next read, one from C. Vey Holman, of Bango. Me., addressed to W. R. Hearst, the other from John De "Witt Warner, of New York, addressed to James L. Reach. The first message was In the nature of a "confession of sins," Mr. Jlolman saving that while he antagonized liryan in 11 In Indianapolis, he now desired in the same city to affirm his allegiance to tho "matchless leader." Mr. Warner announced that New York Democrats Hand united in support of Bryan "against Hanna and hog rule." A RARE TREAT. The la3t and greatest treat on the programme was a speech from James Hamilton Lewis, of the State of Washington. ."When the crowd recovered from the stupor Into which it was thrown by the sudden bursting of Lewis's glory of whiskers and epotless apparel upon Its enraptured vision, some one "started the ball to rolling" by proposing three cheers for "the great Democrat of the Pacific coast." These being given, acted like a spur to Lewis's gift of oratory, and he made one of the most remarkable addresses ever delivered to an intelligent audience. He alternated between fights into lofty realms of oratory and descents Into the lowest depths of the ridiculous. He quoted Scripture and told "coon" stories in dialect, with reckless prodigality and total disregard of the proprieties. He likened himself to Napoleon and Mayor Jones to Hannibal. He referred to Tamerlane and Ghengis Khan in connection with about all the other celebrities of classical and modern history. One of the heartiest laughs his buffoonery provoked vas his allusion to "The Foaming Beverldge of Indiana." One of his irrefutable arguments was that "for any man to deny that the Constitution follows the tlag is to deny that the Bible follows the cross." He said that the Bible trust was organized to limit the supply of Bibles so that men might not know that the first law of God Is "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyWEATHER FORECAST.

self" and the second "thou shalt not steal." His Jocose vein cropped out again In a reference to the corset trust, which he said the Republicans ought not to tolerate because it is opposed to expansion. Mr. Lewis characterized President McKinley as a man "who never disobeyed his political masters and wno unerringly takes hi3 political religion from the Gospel of Mark." The audience evidently realized that the inimitable Lewis was brought here for their entertainment, and they made the most of the opportunity, laughing themselves almost into convulsions over his clownish wit. Mr. Lewis has come to appreciate thoroughly the estimation in which he is held by the general public, and It does not appear to displease or worry him In the least. Th tirst few sentences of bis speech show this clearly. He said: A CIIOICK BIT. "Mr. Chairman, gentleman of the Democratic Association of Clubs, and ladle and gentlemen, your guests. I must, of course, express my sincere appreciation of the flattering reception you kindly five me at the Instance of a heroic Democrat from New York, but I have concluded. Judging from what these newspaper boys are writing of me to-day and I am afraid of them ailthat I have been brought here at this time, not so much for what I might say, but in order that there may be an exhibition to you of that strange political paradoxical production from the far West most generally known by the cartoons of his whiskers and his ambitions for the things he does not get." (Tremendous laughter). Mr. Lewis paid the following eloquent. If somewhat peculiar tribute to the Lemocratlc party: "No bloody gorgon, grown fat and swollen with party dictatorship, sits in the sacred place, blinking his splenic eyes at us as signals for every movement. No debauched despot is going about the country babbling with decrepitude of Ideas and senility of command at us. We represent the Democracy of an Individual idea, the idea of a paramount Justice, and before this country we have placed no candidate for the chief office of the presidency who ever advocated a principle which he was not willing to denounce for party advantage or ever espoused a cause or ever denounced one which he would not Immediately announce for the , enticement of office." Mr. Lewis must certainly have felt proud of his main achievement yesterday afternoon, which was to crowd out Governor Benton McMillln, of Tennessee, from making the speech which he was announced on the programme to deliver. So carried away by Mr. Lewis's eloquence was the audience that a great party leader and brilliant orator such as Governor McMillln paled into insignificance. At the conclusion of Mr. Lewis's speech a rush was made for the exits and all thought of another speech being scheduled was blotted out. After the convention adjourned it was stated that Governor McMillln was too ill to make a speech, but no reason for his failure to do so was made public from the platform during the session. A great deal of chagrin at the crowd's unseemly conduct in thus cavalierly ignoring one of the biggest men in the party was displayed by those occupying the platform after the meeting was over. - STREET DE3IOXSTRATION.

A Creditable Showing; 3Inde liy the Democratic Clnba. v The street demonstration heralded for days, although creditable, was not the record-breaking affair anticipated by the local Democrats, and had it not been for the exceedingly large turnout of local organizations it would have been a failure. Aside from the thirty bands and drum corps there were, by actual count, 3.253 people in the parade. This number included the bona fide club members, the boys and girls and the sixty-three colored voters corralled and commanded by Mayor Taggart. Had It not been for the Duckworth Club of Cincinnati, the Cook County Marching Club of Chicago and the Jefferson Club of St. Iouls. Indiana would have had the proud distinction of representing alone the National Association of Democratic Clubs. The glamour of the carnival decorations, the red fire and the large crowd of curious and expectant Indiananolitans who watched the marchers from the adjacent sidewalks considerably enhanced the proportions of the demonstration and lent to it an attractiveness it would not otherwise have possessed. The enthusiasm displayed was of the spasmodic sort and usually reached a climax when a band was passin1'. FORMING OF PARADE. The parade formed at the corner of Illinois and Maryland streets and marched north to Washington, thence east on Washington to Noble, where it countermarched to Illinois, thence north on Illinois to Market, east on Market around the south side of the circle to Tomlinson Hall, where it disbanded. lrvin Robbins, the chief marshal, started the parade at 8 o'clock, and It occupied fifty-five minutes In passing. At the head of the parade marched the Liberty Drum Corps, followed by Chief Marshal Robbins and his staff. Then came the first division In charge of George Marott. This division was composed of the Gray Club, of Indianapolis, with 112 men in line and headed by the Indianapolis Military Band, which had out its full complement of forty pieces; the Cook County Marching Club, of Chicago, with 16$ men in line, and with De Baugh's Band of thirty pieces in front of it; the Jackson Club, of Terre Haute, with ninety-two men in line: the Bryan Club, of Franklin, made up of 129 men and boys, and llfteen carriages containing Adlal Stevenson and other prominent Democrats from Illinois and Indiana and twenty-five members of the Jefferson Democratic Club, of St. Louis. Stevenson's presence was greeted with great enthusiasm all along the line of parade, being in marked contrast to the reception accorded him on the occasion of his notification in this city in August. The second division was in charge of Marshal Maurice Donnelly, who rode at its head surrounded by an escort of forty horsemen. Following the marshal's escort marched the Duckworth Club, of Cincinnati. The club was under the command of Dan Dalton, Its old-time leader, and marched with some of the old spirit displayed by It in years gone by. There were about one hundred of the "Ducks" in line, and headed by the First Regiment Rand of Cincinnati, they presented a very attractive appearance. Following the Cincinnatian3 came the Bryan Club, of Columbus, Ind., with thirty men In line; the Franklin County (Ind.) Club, seventy-seven strong; the Kleventh Ward Woessner Club, with 113 men; the Democratic Commercial Travelers' Club, headed by its own drum corps and with 163 men in line; the German-American Democratic Club, of Indianapolis, more than 150 strong; the Jerome Herff Club, of Indianapolis, with forty-six in line; the Tenth Ward Club, with sixty-three men; the Fourteenth Ward Club, with one hundred in line, and the Thirteenth Ward Club, with thirty-five men in line. BOYS IN LINE. The second division had a large sprinkling of boys, the club from the Fourteenth ward and several other organizations being made up almost entirely of boys under eighteen years of age. The third division, in charge of Marshal Sam Compton, was headed by Mayer's Band, and made up of the following organizations: The Railroad Men's Antitrust Club with seventy men in line; the East End Railroad Men's Club, with idnety-four men; the Cumberland Club, with 102 In line; the Fourth Ward Woessner Club, with twenty-four men; the North Indianapolis Club, with seventy-four men; the Marlon County Democracy, with sixtythree in line; the Taggart Colored Democratic Club, with sixty-three men; the Sixth Ward Club, with 15: men; the Third Ward Club, with 104 in line; the Bryan Vldets, with seventy-four In line; the Hendricks Battalion. Royal Knights of Columbus, with sixty-six men; the Fifteenth Ward Club, with ninety-six men; the First Ward Voters, fifteen men; the Twelfth Ward Club, with 223 men; the Wayne Township Bryan Club, with ISO men; the Fifth Ward Club, with one hundred in line, and the Democratic Club of Haughvllle, with thirty-one men in line. In the last division there were many transparencies, bearing all sorts of inscriptions, such as "Bounce the bank and burn the bonds." "The professional soldier rides the back of labor." and many others. Mayor Taggart served in a dual capacity In the third division, acting as the leader cf the Sixth Ward Club and the commander of the colored organization which bears his name. He marched directly between the two organizations. Bringing up the rear of the last division were five largo floats loaded with girls, and each girl was.

loaded with enthusiasm, which was uncorked all along the line of march. - coM3HTTi;i:s si:h:cti:d.

DELEGATES QIICKLY 3IADE. fiOcal Democrats dlven Credential tt Fill the Chnlrs. The explanation of the sudden packing of the convention of Democratic clubs yesterday afternoon immediately after the arrival of the Cook county delegation leaked out last night. The story is that when the leaders discovered yesterday morning that the large crowd of delegates expected would not arrive they put their heads together and hastily devised, a scheme of sending out letters to all the precinct committeemen urgently requesting each one- to have ready ten "delegates" with whom to fill up the expected gap in Tomlinson Hall on short notice. That Mayor Taggart's smooth hand directed this scheme was clearly evident from the fidelity and celerity with which It was carried out. At the opening of the convention yesterday afternoon there were scarcely nine hundred people in the hall, counting both delegates and visitors, and yet following cn the heels of the Cook county delegation, which did not number to exceed 175 men, enough "delegates" were precipitated into the auditorium to fill nearly every chair on the first floor. The time of arrival of William J. Bryan and Bourke Cockran is causing a great deal of anxiety to the promoters of the convention. They have fixed several different times when the stars would reach here, but these have had to be changed so frequently that now the best information obtainable is that Mr. Bryan will arrive about 2 o'clock this afternoon, and that Bourke Cockran will be here some time this morning. THIS Mf;iIT SKSSIO.X. Selffmuml Zelnler anil Capt. O'Farrell t the Speakers. The night session of the convention did not convene until about 9:30 o'clock. The hall was not crowded, although there was a good-sized audience. In the rear part of the hall on the lower floor there were many seats not occupied. One of the galleries was filled. James K. Jones presided at the night session. The speakers were Patrick O'Farrell, of Washington, D. C, and Selgmund Zeisler, of Chicago. Mr. O'Farrell denounced the standing army of the United States and denounced McKinley. He said that four years ago he got $50 a night for making speeches for the Republicans. The Democracy has no money to pay him, he said, and he Is making speeches without remuneration. Mr. Zeisler was one of the principal speakers at the convention of the Antiimperialist League held here some time ago. In his remarks last night he declared that Imperialism-means a government from without instead of within. He said McKinley was emperor of the Philippines and rules the Islands "according to his own sweet will." "I do not fear that McKinley will proclaim himself king next year should he be re-elected." said the speaker, "I fear not that the United States will be a monarchy in five or ten or twenty-five years. But I fear that in the course of time. If we pursue this policy of imperialism, we will find ourselves descending on a tobaggan slide of national degradation. We cannot violate the eternal principles of liberty in the far east without at the same time striking a blow at our democracy at home. It is not too late now to dp justice to the Filipinos. The Republicans say we owe them no consideration because they rebelled against our sovereignty. Our treatment of the Filipinos was haughty and arrogant. What a sycophantic Congress has failed to do must be done by the American people. They must bury McKinley under an avalanche of votes. They must re-establish the honor of the Nation. They must remove the stains from our social flag. They must withdraw its protecting folds from slavery, polygamy anu oppression." IS MR. HEARST IX TOWSf His Own Paper Describes Him as Goins Blithely to Grand Hotel. The papers owned by Mr. W. R. Hearst, president of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, are nothing if not intensely enterprising. The "Convention Kxtra" of his Chicago American, circulated in this city last night, rather outdid itself, however. The following "special," sent from this city (or was it written in the Chicago editorial rooms?) yesterday, and published in the edition of the American sold and given away in Tomlinson Hall last night, will give Indianapolis people a clear Insight into Mr. Hearst's methods: "Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 3. Three thousand five hundred delegates were seated in Tomlinson Hall when the greatest convention known in the history of the National Association of Democratic Clubs wa3 called to order. "About them, thronging the galleries. 4.000 people cheered for Bryan and Stevenson and Democracy. "Those 7,000 had come to Indianapolis from all sections of the United States. They represented States from Maine to California, and they brought the rallyin3 cry. 'All for Bryan.' "This, the quadrennial convention of the National Association, eclipses every former meeting in the history of the organization. "During the morning special trains hurried into the city from east, north, west and south. Thousands of marchers were on the streets, their long lines dotted with banners declaring for a republican government, not an 'empire,' and against trust prosperity. XXX "It was long after 2 o'clock when the convention was called to order, but all roads led to Tomlinson Hall during the early morning hours. Hundreds were in their seats at the noon hour waiting for the fall of the gavel. "About 2 o'clock the special train from Chicago pulled into the Rig Four station. Dozens of marching organizations were drawn up at the platforms, roaring out a welcome, and W. R. Hearst, president of the association, went at once to the Grand Hotel, accompanied by Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the Democratic national committee, and escorted by the leaders from Chicago and the 300 delegates who came on the special train." Business Done by Railroads. Of all the railroads running into Indianapolis but one of them ran special trains yesterday to carry the crowds advertised

to attend the meeting of the Democratic clubs. The Big Four ran a special train of five cars from Terre Haute, carrying the Jackson Club, and one from Cincinnati of four cars, bringing the Duckworth Club. A special from Chicago brought the Cook County Marching Club. The regular trains were sufficient to carry the excursionists and regular traffic on other branches of the Big Four and the other lines. The largest estimate placed on the number of people brought to Indianapolis on Tuesday and Wednesday Is 3,000. and a few more arrived last night. This number includes the people who came to Indianapolis to attend the other conventions that have been in progress this week. Woman's Bryan League. About half a dozen women from Chicago, Cleveland and New York met at the Grand Hotel last night and effected the affiliation cf several Democratic leagues with the American Woman's National Bryan League. An effort will be made to-day to complete the organization if more women can be interested in the matter. They hope to organize u club in Indianapolis. Mrs. M. K. Walker, of Chicago, is president of the league. Pnld for Marching. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon In front of the Journal office a Democrat approached two colored men and offered to pay them to march In the Democratic procession If they would come to him after the parade was over. They agreed to go, but when the man who offered the money had passed out of hearing, one of them said to the other: "I'll march for pay, but I'm going to vote for McKinley.' DAMPENED BY WEATHER

MR. BRYAN MAKES A SHORT JOIRSEY AD FEW SPEECHES. Sayn Hamilton In the TuioliUT Deity of RepuhlicnnM Relterntes His Hall Charse Tnmraany Reception. WAUKESHA, Wis., Oct. 3. William J. Bryan had a comparatively easy day today. He made less than half a dozen speeches and he traveled only by easy stages from Tortage Cjty to this place, speaking at Portage, Columbus, Watertown, Oconomowoc and Waukesha. Rain fell during the greater part of the day. Mr. Bryan said to-night that he would give the 8th and 9th of this month o Illinois, the 10th and 11th to Michigan, and the 13th, 14th and 13 to Ohio. In his speech at Columbus, Mr. Bryan declared that no man had the right to own and govern another. "If there are any Irishmen here," he said, "I want to ask them how long It will take Ireland to become reconciled to foreign domination, even with only a narrow channel of the sea between Ireland and the land of her governess." The lesson he drew was that if the people of Ireland found it difficult to reconcile themselves to English government, it must be be quite as difficult for the Filipinos, so much further away, to accept our domination. At Watertown, Mr. Bryan spoke in the cpera house, because of the inclemency of the weather. Tho building was packed and the audience was enthusiastic. He said that in the beginning of Its history the Republican party had confessed to be the followers of Jefferson. Now Jefferson's name was never mentioned, but Alexander Hamilton had become their great exemplar. Hamilton had taught that society was divided into two classes, the well-born and the lowly-born and that the well-born were entitled to govern the lowly-bom. He discussed the trusts at some length, saying that he was not satisfied with the condition of independence enjoyed by them. Mr. Bryan again chided the Republicans for failing to mention the-Dec?aration of Independence in their Philadelphia platform. He said: "Let me call your attention to the fact that the chairman of the House committee on military affairs, the man who. had charge of the bill raising the army to 100,000, is the president of the FilivlI? Lumber and Development Company, ?'w.,.h .has ,valuable timber land in the Philippine Islands, and in Its prospectus says the labor question there is easily solved, because there is Chinese labor there and it can be had for from 00 to 75 cents a day, Mexican money." He spoke of the difficulty of securing the honest administration of affairs so far from home. He declared that the Porto Rlcan legislation was the best indication of what could be expected in the Philippines and said: If you approve of the Porto Rican bill you will approve a theory that is as dangerous as any despot in the world ever promulgated." "It was Abraham Lincoln who said It was God himself that placed In every human heart the love of liberty, and the Republican party cannot tear that love of liberty from any human heart. "We give them the right to govern themselves. It is not a man-given thing, but a God-given thing. God himself Joined together in every human being love of liberty, and what God has Joined together let not the Republican party tear asunder." At Portage Mr. Bryan's attention was called to a statement made by a Mr. Kingman that he received $150,000 for insisting upon the silver plank of the Kansas City platform, and he said: "It is hardly worth while to deny the charge of a man who hides behind a woman whose name he will not give, but, In order that the most unscrupulous Republican may have no reason for repeating the charge. I will say that it Is absolutely false in every particular. No one ever offered, promised or gave me that sum, or any other sum. for urging that plank or any other plank in the Kansas City platform or any other platform. I do not know anything of Mr. Kingman, but it Is said he is a counsin of Senator Cullom, and I do know something of Senator Cullom. The senator ought to know whether his cousin is trustworthy or not, and if the senator will state over his own signature that he believes what his cousin says, and is willing to represent him in an investigation of the charge, I will make him a proposition which will give him an opportunity to produce his evidence." Nctv York' Drynu Reception. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Rlchard Croker last night presided at a meeting of Tammany Hall to make arrangements for the reception to be given to William J. Bryan and Adlai E.

The motive alleged was the possession of his wife's estate.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) erich made addresses. The Governor said: "I want no better campaign document than to quote the prophecies of Mr. Bryan four years ago, and compare them with how the events have come out since. Four years ago you were told again and again that unless you had fr'e silver everything woul 1 go wrong. Then go back a little further, eight years ago, it was free trade and lower prices for your products. At present if I understand them aright, and it :s hard to keep track of their issues, the paramount one la that the brown man In the Philippines has a right to shoot at any one he wishes and the black man at home, though born a free citizen and an American, has not the right to vote." At Hyannis both the Governor and Curtis Guild, of Boston, spoke. Governor Roosevelt said in part: "Mr. Towne has appealed to the people against keeping the Philippines on the ground that they have, under the Sultan of Sulu. polygamy and slavery. Now how will It be stopped if we go -aw'aj'? If we withdraw our Hag, that merely means that slavery and polygamy become perpetual there. To put a stop to slavery in this country we did not withdraw the flag from the slave States; on the contrary, we kept the flag then until slavery vanished. That is also the way to handle the question in the Philippines. We should stay there and keep the flag there, and slavery and polygamy will ultimately disappear. Take the flag away and you render these evils, and a host of others like them, permanent in the island. You cannot do everything at once, but it will be done in time if only we stay in the Philippines." HarrlMon Will Sneak In Indiana. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.
