In the preparation of Clothing for Men, Boys and Children we do not try to see how much cotton we can safely work into our suits. We do not try to cheapen them at the expense of the consumer. We don't attempt to build a silk-lined overcoat or suit at a serge-lined price. We make no attempt to see how near we can go to the edge of the precipice. We keep as far away from it as possible and sacrifice no point of fabric or workmanship that will detract from the value service, or fit of the garment. Do you approve of our methods? Fabrics are mostly rough -this fall. Worsteds are still being worn. It is because the patterns are magnificent, but there must be no cotton in them. The popular colors are green, gray, brown and all the shades from olive to green. The Military Coat is being worn, but you'll be right in it if you don't wear a Military. Raglans, of course, you know about, but they've got to fit or you are out of it. Your money back with us if we don't fit you. There's lots of style this year. Haven't been so many in years.

SHELBYVILLE. Ind.. Oct. 20. The Republican meeting to-night in the opera house whs addressed by Captain Willi.! m H. English and W. A. Ketcham, of Indianapolis. The stage was occupied ly 123 Lincoln voter?, and the chairman of the meeting was Harry Karmlre, of the First Voters Club. The hall has not been so densely packed during the campaign. Several women fainted owing to the density of the crowd. When Captain English apioared he was greeted by a long outburst of cheer?, followed by salvos of applause. He paid, among other things, that this was net the first time he had made a FMreeh in the city of Shelbyvllle and in that very place, but that It was the tirst time he had spoken in behalf of the nominees of the Republican party, and assured the audience that all he said would be along the lines taught and maintained by Thomas Jefferson, the organizer of the Democratic party, and not those of William Jennings Bryan, the destroyer. "When the nominees were placed on their repvctive platforms," lie said, it was at or.ee apparent to every man who loved his country and his flag that a great crisis was at hand, when we should lay aside the fealty to party and take up the fealty we, as good citizens, owed to country. I believe in party organization and party rule; that individual opinions should be subservient to the will of the majority under all ordinary circumstances. But these are nt ordinary circumstances, but times when the honor and credit of the government are at stake. Its laws in danger, its Judiciary attacked. I, with many other Democrats, was confronted with conflicting Issues, torn by conflicting doctrines; on the one hand McKinley, prosperity, national honor; on the other. Rryan. national disgrace and national dishonor, and I decided that I would help to forever bury Rryunism and Populism. I would . not ihmw away my vote nor sulk in my tr-nt. I would take no chunces. I could no longer ci.niiat my ct.seienee. - . "I had no :-f.naI ends to gain or pern;d axes to .rirj.i. exii)t uch as fall to 11 other good citizens. 1 am a meeker after no office.

AT THE torn with doubts and conflicting opinions as to their future acts. You do not wish to see the judicial robes dragged in the mire, tho credit of the country ruined. You do not want to see the proud flag of freedom torn down from the place where it has been raised in honor. So let us unite, Democrats and Republicans, as loyal Americans and bury Rrjanism beyond the hope of resurrection. He spoke very touchingly concerning Roosevelt and paid him a high tribute for his bravery In the Santiago campaign; mentioned his victories of peace as well as those of war and scored the "carping critics who are seeking on all occasions to embarrass the government and wrest the fruits of victory from us by secretly aiding the rebellion in the Philippines." On this point he said: "From the Urst hour I have been In favor of rational expansion. Wherever the flag goes human progress and civilization follows. Whereever our flag Is raised on any soil no traitorous hand should ever tear it down. These old veterans, sitting around me, know the true meaning of the sentiment 'If any man hauls down the American flag, shoot him on the spot. They are not in sympathy with those who would now haul it down In disgrace and dishonor. We will give neither aid nor sympathy to those who are firing on the boys in the front, nor those who are encouraging the enemy In arms from behind. "Next to me on the train to-night was a gentleman whom I did not know. He drew from his pocket the picture of a young man in military uniform and said it was his son who had been fighting in the Philippines. I did not know his position but ventured to say he gave no sympathy to thoso who arc tiring on the l'ag. He said: 'No. If I had a thousand votes I would cast them all for McKinley.' " At this point Benjamin Whaley, heretofore a Democrat, threw his hat in the air and provoked a prolonged outburst of cheering and applause by shouting his approval of the sentiment. When the demonstration subsided. Captain English continued: "It would be an American without a heart and without a soul who would not feel pride in the American policy of prosperity everywhere and we can get a glimpse of greater prosperity yet to come. Never, since the day our fathers assembled under the Liberty Bell could an American be as proud as now when his country has Anally taken its place as one of the great nations of the world. No more will the great international questions be settled without taking America into account. There has been a new national birth. A new era has dawned, and the wisest of us cannot realize Its full import. With all these great achievements before us. what is our paramount duty now? Shall We turn back the hand of progress and stay the march of civilization, dwarf our greatness and ruin our own prosperity? (Cries of 'Never, never. Shall we abandon William McKinley? 'No. no A thousand times no. We will continue this wise and patriotic administration. We will re-elect William McKinley President of the United States. The man who would vote for Bryan under present circumstances and undo all that has been done would be as great a fool as could be imagined. The only excuse he could give would be that of unrest a change for the sake of the change Itself. "While a new advocate of Republicanism. I am consistent. I have not abandoned the principles of the old Democratic party of Jefferson, Jackson. Monrcx and Benton. It has been the proud boast of Democracy in the past that two-thirds of the growth o the country has come in past Democratic administrations. The original Democratic party was a soundmoney party. Benton was called 'Old Bullion. Under Tilden, Hancock and Cleveland, the sound-money doctrines were reiterated every campaign. Then cams the advent of William Jennings Bryan, the destroyer of the Democratic party. The Chicago and Kansas City conventions abandoned the tariff Issue, and the Bryan party should not attempt to hold any old line Democrat on a principle which It itself has abandoned. In this hall 1 wa.i nominated for Congress in 1SH2, on a platform of a middle-ground tariff, and I can stand on the tame platform to-night. I regret the destruction of the old Democratic party for sentimental reasons, if for no other. I stultified myself in 1X in the hope that after one dose of Bryanism the body politic might free Itself of Populism forever, and the Democratic party come back to the principles of Its founders. The Nebraska old man of the sea' still rJdes on Its bent shoulders, so I must leave it." "It is no great step from the old Democratic party to the present Republican party. A change In name but not in substance. Since lb.) the Republican party has progressed; has grown and enlarctd.

to 40.00 while the Democrats have gone back into the dark ages. The Republican party stands for national growth; the expansion that Jefferson and Jackson advocated, has kept pace with the onward march of civilization, laid aside all claims of supporting a double money standard, and has adopted the standard of the world. "The true paramount issue of this campaign, I repeat, is William Jennings Bryan, who now stands before the conservative, law-abiding citizens of the country as the greatest menace to law, order and good government. With others. I have reached the forks of th oliticaI roads. I will henceforth follow the straight and narrow way held by the Republicans, rather than the broad downward road of Populism and Bryanism. The absorption of Democracy by Populism is complete. The majestic leadership of the old guard! gives place to the puerile management of the fusionlsts. Populists and Anti-imperialists. The new leaders will not allow themselves to be called Democrats. Worse than being called a traitor to one's party Is to be a traitor to one's country." Mr. English spoke about fifty-five minutes, and was most enthusiastically received. Without doubt he made many votes for McKinley. W. A. Ketcham spoke about thirty minutes In stirring and well-rounded periods. VICTORIES CELEBRATED. Two Occasions "When IVlcarnguans Displayed t'nnsunl Valor. Correspondence of tho Associated Tress. MANAGUA, Sept. 11.- -Sept. 14 Is a great anniversary day in Nicaragua, and Is legally recognized as a holiday, it being one of two days In the history of the republic when Nlcaraguan soldiers defeated an important force of armed troops. The occasion has been celebrated this year with great enthusiasm by both, government officials and many of the laboring class. All day long yelling and cheering crowds inarched through the streets. Sept. 14 is the anniversary of tho defeat of ICO of Walker's filibusters in 1S56, at a hacienda called San Jacinto, where the intruders were engaged in seizing cattle for the use of Walker's troops at Granada. They attacked about 173 native soldiers, who occupied a fortification, and drove them from the strong lnclosures on their left, but were themselves flanked and many of them wrere killed, Including their commander, Byron Cole. This was the second time in their war history where distinguished bravery was displayed by Nicaraguans. "The ' first occasion was when a woman, one of the ancestors of the wife of Dr. Cardinas, formerly President of Nicaragua, rallied some fleeing officers amt- men (her husband being absent) at Fort Castillo, on the San Juan river. She held the fort until night against the cannonade of the then Lieutenant Nelson, afterward Lord Nelson, of the British navy, who had come up the river In the small boats of a British warship for the purpose of capturing the fort. When darknes fell, the brave woman had rafts constructed, and these were loaded with dry leaves and clothing saturated with rum. The rafts were sent down the river to where Nelson's boats were moored, and were fired when they reached their destination. Nelson hurriedly retreated down the river to where his ships lay, losing four men and one of his boats. There has recently been brought to the attention of the public the great curative powers alleged to be assessed by the Image of St. Marie del Pepturo Cocorso, now in a Catholic church in Managua, and which are dispensed through personal prayers and contributions. The names of several prominent citizens who are said to have been cured and the natures of the diseases have been printed. This has had the effect of inducing many persons of the higher classes, who are inflicted with bodily troubles, to appeal to the Saint, while thousands of the poorer classes and the Indians are dally visiting the shrine.

The Senior Senator Addresses n Magnificent Crowd nnd Arouses Them to Patriotic Demonstration. BIG CLARK COUNTY MEETING SENATOR FAIRBANKS ADDRESSES THOUSANDS AT CHARLESTOWJf. 1VI11 Cnmoack to Party Veterans Speech ly Gen. Black XV, L. Taylor to Anderson Workmen. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHERIDAN. Ind.. Oct. 20. Senator J. B. Foraker made his first and only appearance in Indiana during this campaign today and spoke at Sheridan in the afternoon. He came at the solicitation of Representative Landis and canceled a date in Ids own State out of respect for the brilliant Indiana congressman. Senator Foraker and party traveled via the C, II. & D. in a private car, and took a special train, reaching Sheridan over the Monon. In his party were his son, Captain J. B. Foraker. jr., Mr. and Mrs. Edward Roth and Mr. and Mrs. Lewrence Maxwell, Jr., and daughter, all of Cincinnati. Accompanying him to Sheridan from Indianapolis were Representative C. B. Landis, Samuel If. Spooner, ex-Secretary of the Republican Slate committee, and E. E. Neal and Editor "Will II. Craig, of Noblesville. The train arrived at Sheridan at 1 o'clock. Never In tho history of the town was there such a crowd to greet any man as greeted Senator Foraker on this occasion. It was estimated at ten thousand people. They came from all over Hamilton county and from the counties of Boone. Clinton and Tipton. At noon a great parade took place, participated in by a company of Rough Riders and by delegations from all the surrounding country. There was also a great decree ' of enthusiasm and determination. Old soldiers were largely In evidence and were wrought up to the highest pitch of patriotism by tho impassioned eloquence of the distinguished Ohio senator. Everybody wore Iandis buttons and ribbons with the representative's name printed upon them. It was strictly a Landis dav and showed that the soldiers, laborers and farmers are in favor of returning to Congress the brilliant young man from Delphi. The meeting was held in a big tent, brought from Noblesville for tho purpose. It seated about 2.000 people, but only a small portion of the great crowd could get under It. Hundreds stood uu .around the tent for two hours to hear the speech. Chairman S. M. Smith, of the Hamilton county committee, called the meeting to rder and introduced Representative Landis as the chairman of the meeting. Mr. Iandis was given an ovation when he appeared. He paid an eloquent tribute to Senator Foraker and put the audience in good humor by one of his happy, appropriate speeches. Senator Foraker was at his best and kept the crowd aroused during the whole of his speech. He said that the election of McKinley was now assured, but. in order that the administration of McKinley during his next term should be as successful and brilliant as that of the past three years, that it was of paramount importance that a Congress be elected in harmony with the President. lie said the thirteen majority how in tho House probably could be wiped out by fraud and disfranchisement In the South and that it was the patriotic duty of the North to make additional gains in that branch of Congress. Senator Foraker said the paramount Issue was that of prosperity. He referred to the enormous increase in the wealth of the country and to the fact that even old England, the great creditor nation of the world, had come to our shores to borrow money. He showed how ridiculous were the prophecies of Bryan in 1S36, as evidenced by the flood of prosperity that now blesses all classes of the land. In speaking of trusts and strikes, he said that under Democratic administrations nobody would trust anybody else and that strikes were always for a Job; under Republican rule the strikes were always to make a better wage scale and the laborers were always successful. He believed tho Republican party was capable and patriotic enough to meet all emergencies as they arose and would handle the trust question In a safe and businesslike way, as it had all the great and difficult questions In the past. In speaking of the war with Spain Senator Foraker admitted he was in favor of war a year before it came, and that many believed the President was too slow, but all are agreed now that the President was far-seeing, and that he was "almighty sure-footed when he did get Into the war." The senator went Into the history of American expansion, and plainly showed that President McKinley was following the precedents of Jefferson, Monroe and Polk. He emphasized the fact that the protective tariff was at tho bottom of our great prosperity, and that the next great problem was to find a market for our goods. This, he said, was in the Orient, and that the possession of the Philippines opened the gateway to that great world. The senator's closing remarks were most eloquent and animated. He denounced the Democratic party as incapable and unpatriotic, and paid a glowing tribute to tho matchless record of the Republican party. The meeting at Sheridan will do much good. Mr. Landis was delighted with the showing and feels confident that he will be re-elected by an Increased majority over two years ago, when his plurality over Cheadle was 1,030. . SPOKE AIIOUT THE TRUSTS. Attorney General Taylor to the Workingmrn of Anderson. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 20. W. L. Taylor, attorney general of Indiana, spoke for an hour and a half here last night in Hazelwood addition to this city, the location of the American Steel and Wire Company's plant. The "trust" has had this plant closed for a long time, and the Democrats have been using the Situation for all the available political capital possible. Mr. Taylor was announced to discuss the trusts among other things, and a large crowd of mlllmen were his attentive auditors. Judge M. A. Chlpman introduced Mr. Taylor as one well qualified to speak to laboring men, as he had started in life as a section hand. That placed Taylor at easy terms with the laborers, many of whom were there in their rough clothes from the mills. Mr. Taylor was cheered to the echo when he said: "My friends. I come here as a friend to discuss the situation, and not as a politician. 1 desire to say in the beginning that the man who attempts to make political capital out of the misfortunes of labor Is unworthy the consideration of honest labor. Is dangerous to the flag of the country and a demagogue of the worst character." He then gave the men a plain talk about trusts, saying frankly that they were a menace to the best Interests of the country nnd to the development of trade, as they are now operated. Mr. Bryan's part lit tho anti-trust convention at Chicago and St. Louis, his record in Congress and his utterances on the stump and the refusal of Bryan to sanction the measure presented to Congress by the St. Louis conference were outlined with telling effect, lie showed that Bryan's remedy of curing the trust evil by abolishing the tarirt on trust-rrade articles would also kiil the men who "work In the mills operated by the trusty in the gas belt. The Republican remedy was oftered in a proposed amendment to the Constitution, giving Congress power to legislate against trust, against which all but two Democrats in the House voted. The development and tplendld workof the Indiana labor arbitration law was set forth to great advantage and the presentment was received with applause. Mr, Taylor closed with an earnest oppeu! for the nun to carefully confer tho situation and cast

Senator Fairbanks Addresses a Great Clark County Crntrd. Sj-ecial to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE. Ind.. Oct. 20.-No man ever received a greater ovation at the hands of the people of Clark county than did Indiana's senior senator, the Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks, at Charlestown today, where an all-day meeting was held. From early dawn all the roads leading to Charlestown were crowded with vehicles, horseback riders and pedestrians, all bound for the same destination the Charlestown fair grounds. By noon the grounds were fairly alive with people, and it cannot be recalled when so many people crowded the space, even in the palmy days of the county fair. The Inner man was not forgotten In the preparation for the event, and at the noon, hour hundreds of well-laden baskets filled with the good things of the land w-ere brought forth, and the gathering resembled very much an old-fashioned basket picnic. The biggest crowd gathered in the afternoon, delegations arriving from the most remote points of the county. Many clubs were in line, headed by bands . or drum corps. When the time arrived for Senator Fairbanks's address the crowd was something immense, and the happy expression on the faces of the leaders showed that their most sanguine hopes had been exceeded. It was estimated that there were between 6,000 and 7,00 people on the grounds. Senator Fairbanks begun his speech at 2 o'clock and for two hours held the strictest attention of the great audience. He began by saying that he himself was reared pn a farm, and as the crowd was mostly representatives of the agricultural element, he paid considerable attention to the issues that Interested them most. He referred to the McKinley tariff law and said that farm animals and farm products were now demanalng a much greater price than under tho four years of Democratic administration. He then reviewed all the principal issues of the campaign, devoting much time to trusts and imperialism. "We would likoto know" he said, "what Mr. Bryan considers as the paramount issue of this campaign. He flits like a bird from one question to another until n one can find out what ho considers the most important question. The paramount issue with the Republicans, and one of the greatest Importance, is the re-election of Mr McKinley. "Mr. Bryan," he said, "often compares himself with Lincoln nnd Jefferson, but I fail to see the comparison. He is theatrical in all he does. When Lincoln was notified of his nomination to the presidency he received the committee in a quiet, unassuming manner, and after gracefully accepting the nomination retired quietly to his home to hold communion with his Iord and maker. With Bryan it was different. He flitted about the country making all the display possible and in a most tragic manner accepted the nomination. One thing I never could understand was whyhe came to Indianapolis to receive notice of his last nomination. If it was because he thought he could steal the State for Bryanism he will be sadly disappointed Nov. 0. "There is no comparison," he continued, "between Bryan, the man of words and false prophecies, and McKinley, the quiet, unassuming President, who has fulfilled all his promises made four years ago and who has brought prosperity to take the place of business depression." He then impressed on the minds of his hearers the necessity of electing their representatives to the State Legislature and also their members of Congress. He concluded by paying a glowing tribute to President McKinley and his Cabinet and requesting all honest thinking men to consider the matter carefully before casting their votes for Bryan and disaster. Following Senator Fairbanks came Hugh O'Connor, of Corydon, Republican nominee for member of Congress from this district. Mr. O'Connor dealt strictly In facts, and his remarks were heartily cheered. During Senator Fairbanks's talk the applause was at times deafening. Senator Fairbanks left at 4 o'clock for Columbus, where he spoke to-night. A feature of the day was the many handsomely decorated wagons and carriages which came from all parts of the county. Among the delegations one of the most noteworthy was that from Seilersburg, which sent over 4'X) persons, mounted and in vehicles, and including In the line a large number of beautifully decorated wagons and carriages. The Sellers Glee Club, consisting- of fifty girls, was one notable contribution to the features tf the day. The same town also sent a band and drum corps.

VETERANS OF THE FAITH. They Are Addressed by "Will Cnnibnek nt a. Grent Munde Meeting. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Oct. 20. This was Republican veterans' day in Muncle, and the Fremont-Llncoln-McKInley Voters' Club, with more than five hundred members in Delaware county, was in charge and never stepped with more precision or pride than when more than two hundred of them marched to the depot and escorted Governor Will Cumback to the courthouse, where he delivered an address this afternoon. The weather was perfect. The meeting was arranged for the afternoon to enable all to attend, and it was the first political speech many of them had heard this campaign. When the speaker made the statement that he was the first charter member of the Republican party there were a. dozen in the audience who announced" that they came second on the list. It was a sort of a love feast, the old voters showing that their lungs, too. Were as strong as are their Republican principles. A great crowd heard the address, and again to-night there was a big crowd at the courthouse to hear addresses from M. M. Garland, ex-president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Tin and Steel Workers, and Judge Joseph G. Leffler, of Muncle. The remarks of President Garland were chiefly directed to the iron and steel workers, who filled the hall to listen to their former leader, and for almost one and a half hours he urged them not to take any chances on closing the mills by voting against the present administration. He gave facts substantiated by figures on the situation, and was cheered loudly and given the closest attention throughout the entire meeting. At the meeting his afternoon Governor Cumback devoted considerable time to Bryen's political record, showing that he never claimed to be a Democrat prior to lXK, but that he voted for such men as Weaver, and ran for office on Greenback-Derao-ratic fusion tickets. He was warmly cheered. . JOHN C. BLACK'S PATRIOTISM. He Voices It in a. Stirring Appeal for the Republican Ticket. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.. Oct. 20,-Gen. John C. Black addressed an Immense audience here to-night on the political issues of the daj. He was introduced by General Lew Wallace in ai. ringing speech. , He dwelt at length on the possibilities Involved In a change of administration, and said that If Bryan were elected "the country could not measure Its abasement . Croker'a man for secretary of the treasury, Altgeld for attorney general and Tillman for secretary of agriculture! What would that farmer raise in the next four years? What he raised In South Carolina and wherever he goes." Of Bryan's appeal to the people to divide themselves into classes, he declared thatnone now existed in the United States; that no wickeder appeal or one more fatal to true Americanism could be made. "Bryan is teaching that thi war now in progress in the Philippines Is a wicked one. The young men of the South had patriotically volunteered to light for the flag, believing that they wer cementing the Union anew with their blood. Behold, the demagogue declares they are in a war of murder and that the country Is under a tyrant." He denounced the issues of imperialism and militarism as intended to delude, while the real intention is to debase the currency, and said that as a Gold Democrat who refused to follow the Chicago platform in he could net follow it now, when lo every evil pledge and promls of that year It ad'sd un patriotism und un-Ancrlcm

Mr. Crninnacker, at Monon, Defines the Democracy Position. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONON, Ind., Oct. 20. Representative E. D. Crumpacker addressed the Republicans here last night and received an ovation. He talked on the various issues of the campaign, making a hit with the audience by characterizing the Democrats as pre-eminently "antis." He said a poll taker in his home city of Valparaiso called at a neighbor's house and Inquired of the lady the politics of her husband, who was absent. "Oh," she said, "he's an anti." "An anti what?" exclaimed the startled poll taker. "No. not an anti-what." she replied. VJust an anti. He is against everything there Is." And the man put the husband's name down, not in the doubtful list, but In the Democratic column. Mr. Crumpacker spoke at Wolcott to-night. The Rev. D. R. Luca. of Iiidianaitoiis. addressed the Republicans there this afternoon. At Orleans W. 11. Payne, of Chicago, spoke to a large Republican audience Friday night. The opera house was crowded and cheers and applause were frequent and prolonged. At Sullivan A. N. Grant, of Indianapolis, was the speaker at Friday night's rally. The courthouse was crowded. Many Democrats were present, and a number were active in promoting the meeting. At Portland Governor Mount. ex-Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, Representative Cromer and Gurley Brewer, of Indianapolis, were speakers at a big meeting. Friday night, which was projected and carried to a successful finish after the visitors had arrived from Pennville, where they addressed the big afternoon rally. At Martinsville Charles Martindale, of Indianapolis, addressed the Republicans Saturday afternoon. The meeting vas under the auspices of the Fremont and Lincoln voters, and was largely attended. At Richmond Senator T. E. Boyd made a stirring address to Spencer county voters, Thursday night. There was a large attendance and much enthusiasm was displayed. At Loogootee Clinton K. Tharp, whose recent accession to the Republican ranks caused considerable interest, spoke to a large and enthusiastic Republican audience Friday night. He is making a very effective canvass of southern Indiana. At Falrmount M. L. Clawson. of Indianapolis, addressed a large crowd of Republicans, Friday night, and Saturday afternoon, John L.

Frank Hanly addressed another largt; audience. At Salem Hugh O'Connor closed his campaign In Washington county with a large and demonstrative meeting, Friday night. A large part of his address was directed to the civil war veterans, of whom a large number were present. At Lagrange General Cyrus Bussey, of Washington, had a large and attentive audience Friday . night. Having been assistant secretary of the interior, he was able to give the old soldiers valuable information as to procedure in pension matters and to expose the sharp practice of some members of Congress, who have their clerks keep a dally watch of the pension bureau, and when a pension Is granted, write the pensioner, bcloro he can be officially notified, that lie (the representative) is happy to infiorm him that after a long and tedious delay, a pension has been secured for him. The facts are that the testimony in all pension cases is finally acted on by an adjudicating board, before which no congressman ever appeared, and with which he has no more influence than a passing citizen on the street. At Edinburg Representative Jesse Overstreet and Anderson Percefield addressed the largest meeting of the local campaign Saturday night. The utmost enthusiasm was displayed. Mr. Percefield spoke chiefly to his former fellows in the Democratic party. At Splceland An all-day rally was held by the Republicans. Many thousands were present. Charles P. Lincoln, of Chicago, and Mayor M. M. Dunlap, of Anderson, were the speakers. They aroused great enthusiasm.

Mount and Taylor Spoke. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER. Ind., Oct. 20.-Governor Mount and ex-Governor Tajior were the speakers at an all-day Republican rally held at Miller's Grove, eight miles south of this city. The weather was superb, and the crowd that greeted the two distinguished speakers was largo and enthusiastic. Governor Mount took up State issues, which he discussed thoroughly. He concluded his eloquent address with a brief allusion to the splendid achievements of the present national administration. ExGovernor Taylor proved himself a favorite with the large crowd; had its closest and most sympathetic attention from the very start, and delivered an eloquent presentation of national issues. In the evening, at the earnest solicitation of the Republican leaders, he addressed a hastily gathered crowd which filled Gordon's rink here to overflowing. ' May Carry De Kalb. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 20. R. II. Hanna addressed a great audience to-night at Garrett, to which point the Tippecanoe Club took a special train of Fort Wayne enthusiasts with a band. All Garrett was in gala dress, and the local McKinley and Rough Rider clubs assisted to make up a procession nearly a mile long.

Mr. Mitchell .Waiting- for All Companies to Tost Notices Accepting tbe Seranton Proposition. IIAZLETON'. Ta., Oct. W. President Mitchell to-night I.sued a signed statement In which he condemned reports published In some newspapers that the strikers had desecrated a cemetery ins Hazleton. II said he had made a careful investigation and could find no "evidence that fastened the offense on any of the strikers in the slightest. Continuing, Mr. Mitchell Faid: "I also wish to deny the absurd statements that have appeared in the columns of Fom of the metropolitan papers to the effect that we contemplate Inaugurating a national strike of coal miners on April L The relations between the bituminous coal operators and our organization are entirely harmonious and our agreements are made for one year. We hope that the anthracite operators and miners will also adopt this humane and progressive method of adjusting the wage Fcale in the future, thus making strikes and lockouts unnecessary." Earlier in the day. President Mltch'.'J practically admitted to a representative of the Associated Press that If every operator in the region were to post notices similar to those that arc now being tacked up by some of tho mine owners, this acHon would in itself probably not end the strike. He was asked if all the companies were to post notices, what his next step would be. At first he hesitated, and then replied: "Under the conditions laid down by the Seranton Miners' Convention, there could be no partial resumption of work." When It was suggested that his reply did not answer the question, be said: "Well, all I wdl say is that if all the companies posted notices. It would clear up matters considerably. It would remove some of tho obstacles that now present themselves." This was the first public statement Mr. Mitchell has made bearing on a settlement of the contest, since the operators at Scranton took their decided stand that the reduction of powder price must be considered in figuring out the advance In wages. Notices similar to thoso already posted by individual ojerators In this region wer Issues to-day by three moro companies. They were J. W. S. Wentz & Co., operating Silver Rrook colliery; Dodson & Co.. owners of mines at Mirea and Reaver Rrook, and the Mill Creek Coal Company, which, operates collieries at Duck mountain and New Uoston in Schuylkill county. Tyler and McTurk, who operate a washery at Audcnreld, employing about fifty men, have posted a notice giving employes an Increase of wages of 10 per cent. Tho only large Individual operators In this region that have not posted what Is known as the second notice are Coxe Rrothers Co., G. H. Markle & Co. and the Lehigh, and Wilkesbarre Coal Company. There is much interest manifested here as to what frteps. If any, the Marklo firm will take. This firm is tho only one in this region which has not consented to give Its em ployes an increase of any sort. Theirenv fc - M A.1 . 1 A 2 -.A I f 1 uera oi me urm maintain a nuti t-uruce.
