SUR(iICAL lVritrMr.NT MAKERS, ZU and 22S S. Meridan St., Indianapolis, Ind. believed In a republic and not In an empire. Mr. Bryan then reverted to the race Question. lie said: "Forty years ago, the Republicans said that a black man should not sell tor $1,000, but now they will buy brown men by the Job-lot at apiece. They said a generation ago that the Declaration of Independence applies to a black man. Now they say it does not apply to a brown man. It cost us hundreds of thousands of lives and hundreds of millions of money to take out of the Declaration of Independence the exception clause that excluded the black man. Now shall we wage a war of conquest to write in the Declaration of Independence another exception clause excluding the brown man? No. Our progress has been upward up to this time. Let It not be backward from now on. Do not dare to dvHiy to any people in foreign lands xae rignt mat you claim ior yourselves, for If you have a right to your government, the Filipino has a right to his, ; and If you deny him the light to his own government, you will not long have a right to yours." "Mr. Bryan also referred to the race question in other sections during the day. HOW ABOUT CROKER AND JONES? At East Bank, Mr. Bryan said: "I am glad that behind me I have those who will be satisfied with equal rights, and who will not ask special privileges if I am elected. I am glad that I have not behind me the trust magnates, for if I cm elected, I do not want then to hang about the White House and tell me how .they elected me, and claim that they own me. They have no desire to help you to get your hands into other people's pockets. If I can keeD other people's hands out of your pockets, 1 will do all that you want me to do for the laboring man." At Montgomery Mr. Bryan declared that "The boasted prosperity of the Republican rarty" was confined to a small section of the country. "If." he said, "they say we a.T9 prosperous, they cannot refer to the conditions in the anthracite coal regions." Continuing, he said: "If the laboring man 1 getting any decree of protection these days, he is getting it from the labor organizations and not from the Republican i party, but even with the advantages which these organizations have been able to give to the man who toils, that man to-day is not getting his full share of the proceeds of his own industry." Mr. Bryan spoke to a congregation composed largely of coal miners at the little mountain town of Sewell. IIo told the people there that the Democratic party stood for the arbitration of labor disputes and for a representative of labor interests in tine Cabinet of the President. After the train started to move in leaving Fewell a man in the outskirts of the crowd earnestly demanded to know about Mr. Bryan's attitude toward the ratification of the Farh? peace treaty. Mr. Bryan had the train stopped and made a full explanation of his action and position in that matter. When this explanation had been concluded the same man asked about he expenditure of twenty million dollars in procuring those islands. To this Inquiry Mr. Bryan replied: "If you had read an article that I wrote about a month before the treaty was signed, you would have seen that we could have got it back from the Filipinos in return for independence, but If you did not, I would rather consider it a contribution to liberty than as part payment xn men and their lands." ' The meeting at Thurmond was held In a gorge In th mountain?, and the stand cn which Mr. Bryan spoke was perched upon a steep cliff on one fide of the canyon. He was introduced by (General Ft Clair, as "Peculiarly the candidate of the workingman." Mr. Bryan quoted from Governor Roosevelt'n article in lKd in regard to govern rnent by Injunction and said: "Government by injunction is a process by which the laboring man Is deprived of the right of trial by Jury. If the murderer and the thief are entitled to a trial by Jury is not the laboring man entitled to trial by Jury also?" Ills audience at Thurmord was composed largely of coal miners, and in closing Mr. Bryan warned them against allowing themselves to be Intimidated or their votes purchased. The meeting at Hlr.ton was the last of the day, and when It concluded Mr. Bryn let for Washington, en route to Maryland, to which State he will devote to-morrow. The crowd at Hlnton was not only large, tut was noisily demonstrative. There were a number of shouts for McKinley at the beginning of the meeting. IN OWN STATE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) have a risht to appeal, as we do appeal, nt to men as Republicans, but as good citizen.'. There are certain principles that underlie Republicanism and Democracy alike, that underlie the Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson, that underlie the Whlglsm of Henry Clay and Webster and the Republicanism of Abraham Idncoln. and it is upon these principles that we make our appeal for honesty in the State and In the Nation; honesty in making promise and performance squire, honesty In not prophesying of that which we know will not occur: honesty in not halving the Natlon'n debt by halving the Nation's dollars; honesty by preserving the conditions under which we have gone upwards and not to go back to the conditions of silver or the free soup kitchen, and resolving to do the work of a great nation in the face of the world's greatest powers without lunching." An Immense crowd greeted the arrival of the Roosevelt train at Newhurg, the home of the Republican candidate for Governor. R. B. Odell. Mr. Odell was at the head of the crowd ut th? depot. The speaking took place in the courthouse square, and when, at 2 o'clock, the two candidates appeared arm in arm on the platform a great cheer wnt up. Mr. Blackburn introduced Gov. Roosevelt in a short speech. As the Governor stopped forward after Llng introduced he was presented with a dinner x all rilled with farm produce of various knds. The Governor mid: "This is what Mr. Bryan calls an assorted argument," and noticing it was wrapped around with an American ri.ir. he continued: "Now. pcr.t.Vmen, I want to call your attention to oise fact: they have presented me with full dinner pall und the American flag." Continuing, he said; "I appeal to every

I appeal to both Republicans and Democrats, because the principles of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Croker have nothing in common with Democracy as Democracy was understood In the day3 of Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. Jefferson laid It down as a rule that the art of good government was the art of being honest. How would Tammany Hall feel if that principle was read and applied in its organization? And now Tammany Hall, which has reduced the government of New York city to a byword and a hissing, is grasping for the government of New York State, and I appeal to every Democrat; I apieal to every Democrat whose loyalty to Jefferson and Jackson is a loyalty of the heart and not of words; I appeal to every Democrat north of the Harlem to see to it that his party is not prostituted as It has been prostituted south of the Harlem." Kingston began its reception to Governor Roosevelt by sending TOO people on a special train to Newburg to meet the Governor's party, and, if possible, to induce the candidate for Governor, Mr. Odell, to come to Kingston also. In this latter mission they succeeded, and Mr. Odell came on the train with the Governor. There was a good crowd at the depot, and the committee on arrangements announced that the interest was so great that they had to arrange for three meetings to take place in three different auditoriums. Each one of these was packed with people at 8 o'clock. The Governor spoke first at the Academy of Music, while, at the other halls, holding the audience until his arrival, other persons made brief speeches. Even the three halls failed to hold the people, and an outdoor meeting was made necessary. .FREQUENTLY INTERRUPTED. Governor Roosevelt, in his speeches, devoted himself mainly to the same Issues as those he spoke on In Newburg and Haverstraw. He took up some of Mr. Bryan's statements In the State, particularly the one In which Mr. Bryan said that if elected to office he would crush out every private monopoly. He said: "Why, that would mean the crushing out of every business and the doing away with a man's revenue on a patent. Mr. Bryan could not do such a thing, and he is dishonest when he says he would." A man in the audience cried: "Three cheers for Bryan!" but instead of the usual attack the Governor smiled and said: "Why?" and the man subsided. Later somebody asked: "What about the canals?" "I did not catch that," said the Governor. "It's only a kid," said another man. "Well, I have six of those." said the Governor, amid a roar of laughter, "and they are not a cause of contention." Outside of the Y.-M. C. A. a stand had been erected, around which was a large concourse of people, and the Governor spoke a few words there before preceding to the opera house, where he was booked for his third speech. As the Governor climbed through a window and appeared on the temporary platform he was greeted with a mingling of cheers and hisses and hurrahs for Bryan and hurrahs for Roosevelt. The Governor assured those assembled that It was a pleasure to see the fine turnout. IIo stated that he hoped good would be. done, even upon those whom the light had not yet shone. This was greeted with renewed cries of "Hurrah for Bryan!" "Three cheers for Bryan!" The Governor had gone on without noticing the interruptions, but as they continued he finally said: "There arc some men whom we cannot reach. Any man who thinks noise is a substitute for thought cannot be appealed to Applause, mingled with shouts of 'Hurrah for Bryan!' and naturally feels like going the other way. I make an appeal to every man. to every brave and honest man A voice, 'Who got shot in the back?'J; no stronger appeal could be made than by those who fear to hear the truth. A voice, Who was tour miles away?' When men will not listen to arguments you can guarantee that they represent a pietty poor set. When men are afraid to hoar the truth they are certain not to be good citizens. I appeal to every honest and decent cillzen to vote Ajrainst the party that encourages that kind of folly rebuke rowdyism of that stamp. They show how utterly unsafe it would be to trust any kind of government In the hands of people of that sort. They are giving you an admirable object lesson of Bryanism. 'What's the matter with Teddy? He's ell right !' 1 will tell you, gentlemen, another thing they had better holler now. for they won't holler after election. They have added to my amusement to-night. A voice, I feel sorry for you. Teddy!' Go right on. gentlemen. ICries of 'Bryan! Bryan! Bryan !' Suppose you cheer for Croker or Aguinaldo! Applause. Naturally, gentlemen, they object to a meeting being held. Any man, whether a Republican or a Democrat, who will come to a meeting and listen respectfully Is entitled to respectful treatment, and any such man is the man who is insulted and outraged by that kind of attack. Nothing that you can say would be as strong an argument for our party as such conduct as that to-night. The people who will do that kind of thing are unfit to be trusted with any kind of government. Great applause. They are a disgrace to their fellow-townsmen, and if they were capable cf feeling, they are a disgrace to themselves. Great applause. The Governor closed by stating that he had stayed longer than he had intended, as he found tho noisy gentlemen so interesting. :he cabinet meeting. Last Seanloit I'ntll the President Returns from Canton Next Month. WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-The Cabinet meeting to-day lasted from 11 till 1 o'clock. There were present Secretaries Gage, Root, Long and Hay, and Attorney General Griggs. Secretary Root and General Leonard Wood had an Interview with the President before the meeting. The Cabinet meeting was devoted largely to action on the death of ex-Secretary of State Sherman. The meeting also considered the subject of the Cuban constitutional convention, and it was said that General Wood brought with him some interesting information on this subject, which was laid before the Cabinet by the President. In addition to this there were a number of matters relating to national politics th:it the President wished to dlsouss with his advisers before leaving to-night for Ohio, where he will remain till the night of election day. At the conclusion of the meeting It wa3 stated that the agreement between England and Germany as to their future policy In. China Is especially satisfactory t. this government, particularly as It is a recognition of the principles laid down In the Hay note July 3. regarding th open door in China and the maintenance of the integrity of the empire. President and Mrs. McKinley left the city at 7:15 o'clock to-night via the Pennsylvania Railroad for Canton, where they will remain until Mr. McKinley casts his vote on Nov. 6. when they will return to Washington. Accompanying them were Secretary Cortelyou and Dr. Rlxey, the party occupying the private car Lucania. They will reach Canton about 10 o'clock in the morning. Secretary and Mrs. Root also had expected to go with the presidential party, but the iormer was called to New York on private business and will start from that city west to-morrow. Mr. Root la to make an address ut Youngstuwn on the 3th instant.
APPEALTO THE SOUTH
SENATOR IIEVER1DGC TALKS TO THE PEOPLE OF LOUISVILLE. He Addrease a Large Crowd on the Expnnwloii Queation m It Affect the Southland. PHILIPPINES A NECESSITY IF THE PEOPLE OP THIS COUNTRY DESIRE EASTERN MARKETS. Comparison of Bryan' Attitude 'Ith the Republican Policy Cuba Under Cuban Rule a Menace. LOUISVILLE. Ky., Oct. 21-Library Hall was too small to hold the crowd that wanted to hear Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, speak to-night. While the senator was speaking for McKinley In this hall, W. Bourke Cockran was speaking for Bryan at the Auditorium, so the clans were to a large degree separated. Senator Beverldge's audience greeted him enthtislastlcally and chered him continuously. The exercises were opened by a statement explaining under what device a voter should put his cross-mark In order to vote the straight Republican ticket, and several voices from the audience greeted the voting directions with "That's where I'm going to put it." Among the vice presidents on the stage were a number of Brown Democrats. H. T. Morgan, of Chicago, who campaigned for Bryan in 1S96, preceded Senator Beveridge. The senator was introduced by John T. Baskln, a Brown Democrat. Mr. Beveridge said, in part: "The South has grown too great to be sectional. The South ought now to be, and in its heart is, American in politics. Not a reason remains why the South should be solid on sectional lines. The lines which onco divided us, but which shall divide us no more lorever, have been erased from the Republic's map because the conditions which created those lines have passed away. Industrially, the Republic is a single Nation; commercially, the interests of the North and South are Identical. Whatever makes for the prosperity of the North makes for the prosper! iy of the South. The Nation's financial system as vitally affects the Southern business man &a it affects the Northern business man. Our tariff policy creates factories in the South as well as In the North. Our whole Internal economy Is common n its application, common in its benefits and common in its defects, wherever they occur, to every section of the land. It Is impossible that any policy shall benefit the Nation without ultimately benefiting every portion of the Nation. The philosophy tf sectionalism was that the good of one section of tho country could best be secured at the expense of other sections of the country; the philosophy of nationality was, and is, that the real good of any section of our common land can only be secured by a policy broad enough to benefit the whole. "Unless we find new markets, what will become of your industrial future, you miners, you planters, you merchants of this newly developed portion of the Republic? Production means happiness and wealth if you can sell what you produce. It means discontent and dissensions among yourselves if you cannot sell what you produce. But where will you sell your surplus? And remember that every pound of cotton, every yard of goods, every bar of iron all that you raise and make Is surplus. There is no market for it now. New markets must be had. On those markets, therefore, your Industrial and commercial advance depends. Yes; on new markets your commercial salvation depends. MUST HAVE NEW MARKETS. "Where will you get those markets If you Indorse the policy of retreat? Where does Mr. Bryan propose to find markets for what you raise on your plantations, for what you dig from your mines, for what you make In your mllis? Our policy has already secured markets in the future for everything you raise and produce. When the Philippines are developed as we will develop them, as Holland has developed Java, as England has developed Ceylon, the Philippines will buy tens of millions of your cotton, which the Philippines do not raise; tens of millions of your foodstuffs, which the Philippines do not raise because they can more profitably raise something else; tens of millions of your manufactured articles. And the Philippines command the markets of Oceanica, India and all Asia, whose unnumbered millions are purchasers of the very products which are peculiar to the South. They command those markets because they are near to those markets. They command those markets because they are distributing points for those markets. They command those markets because they make the American people, and therefore the products of the American people, known to the consumers who buy In those markets. "China will be in the future the greatest purchaser of your cottons. Already that trade has begun, and in the last two years has grown with a rapidity that makes it a commercial miracle. Why should you destroy that future? What will become of you if you do destroy that future? And yet Mr. Bryan ask? your votes upon the very proposition that he will destroy that future. The proposition on which he wages this campaign is the surrender of those markets. You cannot secure markets by words. You cannot secure markets by theories. You secure markets by securing possessions that afford those markets and that command other markets besides those that they themselves afford. It is thus that England has secured markets for her surplus. What would she do without her colonles and dependencies which buy of her almost a third of all that England sells to ail the world? And what will you producers of the South do without the markets which we have secured for you and which Mr. Lryan proposes to take away from you? You are located at the mouth of the Nicaragua canal. That canal is yours. The Pacific Is yours; the Philippines are yours; the markets of all the East are yours. Yours Is the sceptre of the future. The gods have placed you in the path of fortune. If you cast away their gifts, turn your back upon that path In which they have set your feet, wall not if the furies poverty, reaction and decline lay upon your backs the lash of the avenging fates. IMPERILED BY DEMOCRACY. "Yes, men and women of the South, your prosperity lies in the paths which are being opened, not for the North alone, not lor the South alone, but for the whole Nation of which it is your greatest pride r.nd greatest honor to be a part. And in those paths abides your glory. Yes, and in those paths abides your safety. Cuba stretches along your coast. In Cuban ports, except when America Is in control, j eiiow fever sits enthroned und smites with the hand of pestilence your harbors, and tends its couriers of death along every highway of the South. A resolution was putted by Congress without considering jour safety, which Is interpreted to give a separate government to Cuba, uncontrolled by the American government. 1 hliuy will surely orac when Cuban people themselves, suffering from that unnatural mistake, will ask, and when you of the s..uth. perishing from the effects of that short-sighted measure, will demand what i.utue requires a control of Cuba by the American government. Rut the party of retreat which Bryan leads will never give that relief. They declare that, as a matter if duty and of policy, Cuba shall never be controlled by the American people, no matter what developments require that course. "1 cannot speak on this subject for anyone but myself, except to say that the party of nationality, known as the Republican party, has. In the past, always been prepared to meet new conditions with appropriate measures; . and that the welfare of every ' section of the Republic has been our first concern. I can only say that, reasoning from the past, the safety of any portion of this Republic will be our highest law. And the safety of tho South, the salvation of Cuba, the welfare of the
I
Nation, will, when the experiment of separate rule has failed, demand that arrangement which has been plain to the mind of every American statesman since Thomas Jefferson. But the party of reaction, called the Democratic party, the party which appeals for your support, and has heretofore secured It upon your prejudices and not upon your Interests or your reason, declare that under no circumstances shall Cuba ever be brought beneath the dominion of the stars and stripes. Vote with that party If you will, people of the South; but when the yellow Tever marks the sign of death on the lintels of your doors, when that dreaded scourge shall burn the heart from your first born, remember my words this night. "Even now the Cuban people are seeing the mutual advantages of American control. Let me read you a letter from a Cuban J. N. Casanova showing the progress of thought among the people of this island whose coast lines almost touch your southern coast line. I read this letter with the permission of its author: " 'Phillipsburg. Pa.. Sept. 26. "'Albert J. Beveridge, Washington: " 'Dear Sir Having read In this morning's paper your speech delivered last night under the auspices of the Marquette Club at Chicago I write to thank you as a Cuban for your sentiments and stand. I own the Havana Post, the only American paper published in Cuba, and will quote and comment on your speech for the benefit of my countrymen. In one point only I do not agree with you. . It Is when yot$ predict that "in twenty-five years we shall again be forced to assume the government of Cuba." I predict nve years. "I had said In Chicago that separate government In Cuba never should have been promised and that in twenty-five years we would be again forced to assume control after revolution had again paralyzed our commerce, after dissension had again spilled rivers of Cuban blood, after the yellow fever had again and again crossed to our southern shores and after we had been forced to assume hundreds of millions of Cuban debt to prevent that island from falling into the hands of a foreign nation. And now a Cuban says already that? American control will be re-established in five years time. But Bryan will prevent that blessed consummation for a generation certainly, and forever if he can."

Thl3 evening there was another riot at the Stanton washeries of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company. When the workmen started to go to their homes, under the protection. of coal and iron police, fully 5,000 people had gathered. A telephone message was sent to police headquarters in this city for help, and Chief of Police Kline and a number of officers responded. The men who had been at work were put on board a small mine locomotive, but before the locomotive could get under headway, someone fired. The police returned the fire, but no one was struck. Another volley from the windows of some houses followed. Every pane of glass In the cab of the locomotive was broken, but no one was wounded. Two of the workmen on the locomotive Jumped off and were knocked down and kicked, but were rescued by the police. Tho names of the Injured men are Bradley Hoffman and John Dellnski. Hoffman was taken to the hospital. As the officers were returning to headquarters the electric car on which they rode was stoned, all the windows on one side of the car broken and Police Sergeant Hall and two other passengers slightly injured. Mayor Nichols soon reached the ncene and warned the mob that they were doing the cause oi labor more Injury than good. He said the law would be upheld and he was there to help uphold it. The mayor's speech had a good effect and the mob slowly dispersed to their homes. At 10 o'clock all was quiet at the washery. Intimidated by Strikers. SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 22.-The first hostile demonstration of the miners strike In the Lackawanna. region was made, today, at Oliphant, near here, where it was determined to close down the Grassy island coal washery, operated by the Delaware & Hudson Company. The place had been working a force of thirty men during the past two weeks, and was daily turning out a thousand tons of the smaller sizes of fuel for the market. To-day, several hundred strikers gathered along the road near the washery, and when the workmen appeared, gave them to understand they must desist from working until the strike was settled. The workmen decided they would return home. The strikers marched with them back to Oliphant, shouting. Miners In Need of Relief. MOUNT CARMEL. Pa., Oct. 22.

OLD-LINE DEMOCRATS
RALLY IX STRENGTH TO THE DANKER OF REPUBLICANISM. Mnncle Demonstration for Sound Money and Expansion Addressed by Capt. W. J. IIHHkoss. OTHER . NOTABLE DEFECTIONS GtllLEY B REAVER ADDRESSES A BIG CROWD AT DRAZIL. Situation in Dubois County Meetings Throughout the State Democratic Roorback Exploded. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Oct. 22. One of the greatest political meetings of the campaign In Muncie was held to-night and attracted a multitude of people from the ranks of both the Democrat and Republican parties. It was a Democrat-McKInley meeting, at which Capt. W. J. Hilligoss made an address on the political issues of the day, in response to a petition from other Muncie Democrats, eighteen of whom had signed the paper and will support McKinley this year. Captain Hilligoss for several years has been one of the Influential Democrats of eastern Indiana. As editor and proprietor of Democratic newspapers in Huntington, Anderson and lastly the Muncie Daily Herald (and representing Huntington and wells county in the State Senate) he has been a prominent factor in newspaper circles of the State for several years. He always voted the Democratic ticket tuatll the introduction of the issues of this campaign. Four years ago he did not take kindly to the free silver issues and was only, lukewarm in his work, but the "imperialism" issue of this campaign has btlrred his patriotism beyond control, and he Is outspoken for McKinley, though he insists, like many others here, that he is yet a Democrat. Arthur W. Brady, former Democratic mayor of Muncie, presided at the meeting, and Walter L. Davis, a former Democratic editor, was secretary. Ex-Mayor Brady introduced Captain Hilligoss. In part he said: "We Democrats who have joined In the call for this meeting, believe in the American flag, and the history of the past has not demonstrated to us that it is the symbol of tyranny and oppression. .Its folds now spread over the islands of the Pacific and the misguided Filipino will some day hold it to have been the best day in his people's life when it was unfurled and floated above them. We confide in the American people, hence we have no fear of the spectre of imperialism. When we see the Incongruous mass masquerading under the name of Democracy, we stand in amazement, for the party of Jackson and Jefferson has ever been proud to claim that every foot of land added to the United States has been acquired by the Democratic party. We refuse to be alarmed or stampeded by the pessimistic prophecies of gloom promulgated by William J. Bryan." STIFLED CONSCIENCES. Captain Hilligoss began by referring to the division of Democratic sentiment in 1S36 as exemplified in the personnel of the committee of Invitation, some of whom voted for Palmer and Buckner, some for McKinley and Hobart, and some who "stifled their consciences and hoped another four years would bring the party back to its time-honored principles" and voted for Bryan. Among the latter he classed himself. Then he referred to the converging of the parted ways until they found themselves together again, united as In 1S02, but placing patriotism above party and believing that the surest way to secure a return to the true Democracy is to bury Bryanism under an avalanche of Republicanism. In this connection he said: "I hold to the opinion that this campaign and the results of the approaching election mean more for the future of this country and to the stability of its institutions, the development of Its resources and the blessings of a people's government than any campaign and election since" li60. The shameful and false cry of 'imperialism' and the abuse of the present administration can have but little weight in this campaign, and are an insult to the intelligence of the American people. The man or party who can discern no higher issue in a republic like ours, with all Its forms of civil government and guaranteed rights of citizenship, should not be intrusted with power by the voters of this country. Especially do I believe this power should be denied because the great body and majority of these men come from a school of polij tlcians who. have been and are denying the sacrea rigms ana privileges or civil ana political liberty to a large class of their own fellow-citizens." Under the circumstances, he considers the "paramount issue" of hypocritical pretension on their part, and "imperialism" a deception and a fraud. He has no apologies to offer, he says, for refusing to support the so-called "paramount issue," and says that, on the leading issues, as stated in 'the Kansas City platform, he "prefers to follow the teachings and tradHions of his party," from Jefferson down to Cleveland. That being the case, he flnd3 himself in full accord with the Republican lolicy of expansion, as well as in the matter of a sound currency. Hill's visit to Bryan, Just before the convention, he regarded as the cause for "Bryan's surrender of his belief," in which he "discredited his own utterances on other questions, which he had spent four long years in discussing before the American people." On this point Captain Hilligoss said: "This visit of Mr. Hill to Mr. Bryan reminds us of Plutarch's account cf Solon's visit to Sardis at the request of Croesus. It was not to learn wisdom or to exchange compliment or flattery. Solon had another purpose in view, and so had Mr. Hill. It was how to best keep out of sight the free silver issue and successfully dispose of the free silver forces in this campaign. The conference was prolonged with much pain and difficulty, but the child was finally born and they christened it 'Paramount.' " A DISHONORED ISSUE. After vigorous denunciation of what he termed "Mr. .Bryan's policy and campaign of negation," he took up the constitutional aspects of expansion, dealt at length with the arbitrary power exercised over the territory In the Louisiana and Florida purchases, referring especially to the opposition to Jefferson's expansion policy; described clearly the dangers Inherent in the policies advocated by Bryan, Jones, Towne, Weaver, Simpson, Tillman and Altgeld, especially when accentuated by the personality of these adherents and reinforced by the background of Populistlc sentiment, am! declared that the whole aggregation Is "unpatriotic and un-Democratic." and therefore he cannot support It. He said: "The cry of imperialism has never had a respectful hearing before the American people, and ia this campaign It is entitled to no more respect than in 1SC4, when the Knights of the Golden Circle in Indiana, headed by the Indianapolis Sentinel, were denouncing Abraham Lincoln as a tyrant and imperialist." He analyzed and ridiculed Bryan's plan of giving the Filipinos a "stable government, " and exposed his hypocrisy in eupporting the treaty of Paris and repudiating its responsibilities; dealt with the Bryanic position in the role of "calamity shriekers," acd closed by saying: "I prefer to believe this Republic capable of protecting the rights and persons of her citizens wherever the stars and stripes are unfurled, and In extending a helping hand to the down-trodden and oppressed of all lands. I prefer to believe our own form of government and standard of citizenship better and more to be desired, cherished and maintained than that of any other nation on earth. I prefer to believe in the preservation of our nation's financial honor before the world, rather than debase It to th level of heathen countries. 1 prefer to believe and to accept the present conditions and the evidences of prosperity which have come to our own fellow citizens, rather than the conditions of four years ago.

" At the conclusion of the meeting David Ivilgore, a son of the late Judge Kilgore, well known in Indiana Democratic circles, led the great audience In cheers for Capt. Hilligoss and for President McKinley. Mr. Kilgore. who resides near Yorktown, tonight, for the first time, declared for McKinley, as did many other Democrats who attended the meeting. STILL, A DEMOCRAT, But Charles II. Springer Ia Oat FiatFooted for McKinley. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 22.-One of the most important developments of the campaign here is the publication, to-day, of an open letter from Charles H. Springer, in which he announces that he will vote for McKinley and Roosevelt. Mr. Springer is one of the foremost young Democrats of the city, is a graduate of Indiana University, and four years ago was the Democratic candidate for mayor of Bloomlngton. He always has been connected with the party organization. In his letter Mr. Springer says: "My Democracy cannot be questioned. I have never scratched a ticket except in one Instance on account of a personal friendship. Mr. Bryan has never Inspired me as a leader, his utterances have lacked the true ring of honesty and his financial policy has been exactly the opposite of my belief, but I voted for him four years ago because my party spirit was stronger than my best judgment. Before his renomination and during the present campaign, Mr. Bryan has put self-interest before party good. He forced on the Democracy a renewal of the financial plank which was distasteful to the whole party and which, despite what he says to the contrary, is the real issue of this campaign. "There Is no need of a political discussion In this statement as all who read for themselves are as well posted as I, and should believe as they choose. I quote be low partially from James II. Eckels, ex- j controller of the currency, who in a recent speech exactly voiced my position when he said: I am still a Democrat. I am not a Republican nor do I expect to become one should the Democratic party again be led by a Democrat." And There Are Other. At Wlnamac Charles Westfall, a well-to-do German farmer, who always has been a Democrat and who supported Bryan four years ago, has declared for McKinley and Roosevelt. He makes prosperity his paramount issue. At "Whitestown reter Bender, a farmer of Eagle township, and a lifelong Democrat, has declared his fealty to the Republican party. His son. R B. Bender, superintendent of the Augusta schools, also has declared for McKinley. SPOKE TO COLORED MEN. Gurley Brewer, of Indianapolis at n Great Brnzll Rally. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL. Ind.. Oct. 22. To-night one of the largest gatherings of Republicans during the campaign assembled to hear Gurley Brewer, of Indianapolis, talk on the cardinal Issues of the campaign. The opera house was crowded to overflowing. Hundreds of colored voters were In the crowd. The speech was a fine piece of oratory as well as a logical discussion of facts. He held the audience from beginning to end. creating great enthusiasm. He ridiculed the Democratic cry of Imperialism ami pointed out the business calamity which would be brought about by Bryan's election. He declared that after the votes are counted on the 6th of next month it will be found that the colored people are still with the party of Lincoln and Grant. EIlItASKA FOIl M'KIXLKY. This In Secretary AVI1noii Opinion of the rol'ltlcnl Outlook. Sj-eclal to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 22. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture in President McKinley's Cabinet, was in the city today en route to I'ast Germantown, where he spoke this afternoon. When asked for an expression of opinion he said that everybody In the West knows how the West Is going, and evcrylody in the East knows how the East Is going, but that both East and West were looking to Indiana. He talked freely of the situation In the States he has visited, saying: "The States west of the Missouri are practically solid for McKinley. Kansas is as sure as Iowa. Nebraska will give its electoral vote to McKinley by a big majority. Bryan is not nearly as strong In his own State as he was in lvtf. South Dakota. Wyoming and Washington, which gave their votes to Bryan in ISM, are certain for McKinley this year. Bryan may be able to retain Idaho, Nevada, Montana and Colorado by small majorities, although these, is nothing certain about any of these States. I speak of these States from what I ha vi.- Keen, not from what I have heard. This is my first meeting in Indiana, so I cannot sneak concerning this State. It i:i my opinion, however, that it will po Republican by 25.fM. at least. Bryan will not carry an Eastern State. I doubt very much if Bryan can carry Greater New York." OTIIF.U MEETINGS.

Another Roorback Nailed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind., Oct. 22. The story from El wood in the Sentinel to the effect that "the manager of the Elwood Iron works, who is a brother to Col. W. T. Durbin," tried to induce the employe to partiellste in a ReDubllcan demonstration, is false. The fact Is, the manager of the plant Is a Mr. Strauss, and neither Colonel Durbin nor any of his brothers has bvi-n in Elwood within the past thirty days. The manager merely asked the employes if olght or ten men would volunteer to assist in the erection and manipulation f a float to be used in the industrial parade at Elwood next Saturday, which the in n promptly did. When Bryan was at Elwood tho men were given a holiday without loss of pay, on the initiative of Colonel Durbin, who owns a fourth of the plant, and who wanted the men to hear the Democratic leader.
