SULLIVAN UNHORSED IT IS SAID MAYOR TAG CART HAS SUPERSEDED II IM. The Direction of Democratic County Committee Affairs- 'ow In Tassart Hands. One of the latest sensations In Democratic politics Is the unhorsing of Thomas L. Sullivan, chairman of the county Democratic committee. This operation is said to have been performed by Thomas Taggart, mayor of Indianapolis, member of the Democratic national committee for Indiana and general manager of John W. Kern's candidacy for Governor. This Is one of Taggart's old tricks. A few weeks before the election four years ago he ousted John J. Itochford, then chairman of the county committee, and took the reins In his own hands. In the last city campaign he placed Deputy City Attorney Bell in the city committee rooms to supersede the man chosen by the Democrats of the city to act as chairman, and now, it is ?iven out on good authority, during the closing days of this campaign, when whatever money the Democrats may have at their command will be put to the worst use, Mayor Taggart proposes to be the director. That Judge Sullivan, who represents the better element of the Democrats of this county, will resent the slight put upon him goes without fcaying. lie did not want to accept the chairmanship, because it would Interfere with his private business, but finally consented to do so at the earnest solicitation of his friends, who thought thf y saw, through his acceptance, a chance to patch up the differences that existed wi-.hln the Democratic party in this county. . It 13 understood that Mr. Tafcgart claims that Judge Sullivan has not devoted the proper amount of attention to the duties devolving upon the chairman, by way of squaring" himself for his dictatorial action. It is surmised, however, that if Chairman Sullivan has not entered into the work, fit the campaign heartily It Is because he was not thoroughly in sympathy with Taggart tactics. As the time has now a thrived for the Democrats to resort to all klr.ua ot irregular campaign work, it was no doubt thought test by Mr. Taggart that he should take charge of the matter In person. Of course, the wily mayor has not g",ne to the length of asking Chairman Sullivan to resign. He has simply, in his own characteristically oily manner, transferred the duties of the chairman from Mr. Sullivan's shoulders to his own. Altogether, there is much complaint on the part of Democrats of the way Mr. Taggart is conducting the campaign. His latest action, when considered in the light of the fact that he originated the scheme to throw Bryan In Indiana in favor of Kern, will no doubt cause a commotion in the ranks of the local Democracy. WELCOME TO PASTOR. A Pleasant Evening: at the Hyde-Park 31. 12. Church. Tho members of the Hyde-park M. E. Church gathered In the church auditorium, last night, to welcome Kev. James Baker, the new pastor. Rev. Baker has but recently taken the pulpit of this church. He was formerly pastor of the Locust-street M. E. Church, at Greencastlc, Ind., and last year he completed his studies and graduated at the Boston Theological Seminary. He Is known to bo an eloquent speaker, and a deep student. He is married, and has taken his permanent home at 157 West Thirtieth street. Rev. Baker was welcomed by representatives of various branches of the church. W. N. Northcutt spoke for the church. He said it was with a feeling of sadness that the congregation parted with the recent pastor, but it was with a feeling of gladness that they welcomed Rev. Baker, the new pastor. He also said the path of a preacher at times was not an easy one, and hoped thf members of tho congregation would frequently Invite Rev. Baker to their homes, and welcome Iflm as a brother. H. T. Sebum spoke for the Epworth League and B. T. Gillespie represented the Sunday school. Rev. Baker was called upon. and. in responding to the welcome given him. said he hoped there would be a revival in religion among the congregation of Hydepark .Church, and that in a short time the members of the church would be able to purchase new ground, instead of owning a church on leased ground. He said there would be revival meetings this year Music was furnished by a mandolin club! CORONER'S INVESTIGATION. The Conductor's Testimony Something of it Surprise.

was taken. There was little new brought out by the investigation except in the evidence of Conductor Harry K. Krause, of 1508 Woodlawn avenue. Immediately after the accident he said he did not, when he went ahead or the car to flag it ovr the crossing, give the signal to the motorman to come ahead, and that there were lights on the rear of the switch engine. Yesterday before the coroner he said he did give the motorman the signal indicating a clear track and to "come ahead," afterward discovering the approaching engine, whereupon he tried to stop the car, but was unable. He also said there were no lights on the engine. James K. Cathiser, of 1133 Reisner street, a passenger on the car also said there were no red lights and that he saw no headlight. The testimony of the railway employes was that the lights were burning and that the bell was ringing. Attending the examination of witnesses in the coroner's office were a number of attorneys who sought to question witnesses but this was not allowed by Coroner Nash for the reason that the attorney representing in a legal capacity passengers who suffered injuries and were not yet dead. The examination was for the purpose of placing the blame for the death of Staats. The questions of the attorneys were such that they together with the answers would probably be afterward used In suits for the recovery of damages for personal injury. CITY NEWS NOTES.

J. F. EBEItLEIX, DEMOCRATIC EXIOST3IASTi:it OK M1SII AWAIv A. Senator Fairbanks, the Center of a Great Demonstration at Goshen, Slakes Two Addresses. ENTHUSIASM AT GREENSBTJRG SENATOR BKVERIDGE STIRS UP A DECATUR COUXTV CROWD. M. 91. Garland to "Working-men at Dunkirk J. XV. Lyons to Anderson Colored 3Ien Other Meetings. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Oct. 23. Ex-Post-master John F. Eberleln, of Mlshawaka, who held the responsible position of postmaster of that city from 1S3I to 1S99, and who received his appointment under the last Cleveland administration, was at the time of his appointment an earnest and energetic Democratic worker, but during the Bryan campaign of four years ago he changed his views and is now a stanch and enthusiastic Republican. Mr. Eberleln returned recently from a tour around the world, during which he visited the Philippines and devoted particular attention to them, with reference to the present situation, politically and otherwise. He came home thoroughly convinced that the position of the Republican party towards the Islands Is a correct one, and he is now an expansionist of the expansionists. He is making many Republican votes In this vicinity by his personal work. Throughout the Islands Mr. Eberleln saw evidences of thrift and frugality. Wages have been doubled and merchants are gradually seeing the benefits of the influence of the United States government. The soldiers are very much pleased with Manila, and several of them have taken up their residences on the island and many more have expressed their desire of so doing. Most of he soldiers expressed their willingness to re-enlist when their terms expire. When asking a group of soldiers what they thought about giving up the Philippine islands, one of the party remarked: "If the government gives up these islands after the American soldier has spilled his blood to further the good cause, why then I will renounce my citizenship." Mr. Eberlein says that Is the sentiment which prevails throughout the entire military establishment. The soldiers express themselves as being perfectly contented and are looking forward to the time when perfect peace shall prevail throughout the Islands and the inhabitants are left to enjoy the full measure of their happiness and prosperity in absolute safety and quietude. Mr. Eberleln says that If the evil influence of Agulnaldo and some of the unscrupulous agitators could be overcome the inhabitants of the islands would only be too anxious to embrace the opportunity for protection afforded by the United States, "lake Aguinaloo and the agitators away from the islands." declares Mr. Eberleln, "and this government would be received by the Filipinos with open arms." He says they want the protection of the United States, and were it not that the native Filipino is tortured even worse than the American if he is caught aiding the cause of this government the uprising in the Philippines avould soon be checked. The Filipino insurgents have a junto at HongKong which operates in conjunction with American sympathizers, and Mr. Eberleln Is of the opinion that if the idea that the Filipino rebels will get possession of the islands, as proclaimed by the party which upholds these Filipino sympathizers, could be withdrawn from the rebels, the insurgents would no longer have the assistance of the American sympathizers and the conflict would come to a speedy termination. Mr. Eberleln says it is not the patriots, the true and loyal inhabitants of the islands, who are keeping up the struggle, but it is the vagabond class, who are too lazy to work and are perfectly willing to He around the woods in idleness and shoot down American soldiers whenever they come across them. - . SOUXD AS A DOLLAR. Republican Doctrines Preached by J. XV. Lyon nt Anderson. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 23.-Tho largest political meeting of colored citizens ever held in Madison cmnty was the gathering at the opera house in this city last night, when fully a thousand assembled to hear Hon. Judson W. Lyons, registrar of the United States treasury. Precceding the speaking the "White Wings Colored Republican Club," a hundred and fifty voters strong, paraded the streets of the city and marched in a body to the opera house where seats had been reserved for them. The meeting was under the auspices of the "Rescue Riders Club" and was presided over by Dr. C. R. Atkins. The latter, in introducing the speaker said the colored man of the North had more at stake in this campaign than at any time since the civil war. as it was the Republican party that had offered him every hope he had cherished and that the race owed not only the right of suffrage, except in States where the domination of Democracy had rendered that impossible, but every added opportunity that had been given to the race In tho last quarter of a century that meant Its advancement, prosperity and uplift. His remarks were heartily applauded and he wittily introduced Mr. Lyons as the "man who signed all of Uncle Sam's money, and although he may not bring you a paper dollar, a silver dollar, or a gold dollar, yet his gospel will be worth a hundred cents every time." Mr. Lyons was given a hearty reception, and for more than an hour spoke with eloquence and feeling. He showed the wonderful advance of his race since war days, due to the aid and encouragement of Republican legislation and Republican assls-. tance. The deception and insincerity of the Democratic party was vividly pictured in so far as its "issues" In this campaign are concerned. He exposed the false cry of imperialism, and said the only form of imperialism in this country is that forced on the colored race In the South by Tillman and his followers, the real managers and dictators of the Democratic policy. The Democratic party, he declared, 13 after their votes, and the Republican party offered them a chance to better their condition and urges them to become men. The speech glowed with eloquent periods, and the tribute to President McKinley and to the colored troops in the civil war and at San Juan were received with great applause. In closing he urged the colored citizens of Anderson and Madison county to support the Republican nominees from President to constable. The Delaware-street M. E. Church (colored) tendered a banquet to Mr. Lyons at the conclusion of the speech at the opera house, and this was attended by a number of the leading citizens of Anderson, including Judge McClure, Councilman Wooley, J. F. Rayless. Jacob Harter and others. SPOKE TO WO It K IX CM EX. M. 31. Garland, Himself Lons n La borer on Diiiner-Pitil Ethics. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND. Ind., Oct. 23. M. M. Garland, the eloquent ex-president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron. Steel end Tin Workers, addressed an enthusiastic audience of Republicans at Dunkirk to-night, discussing the issues of the campaign from a worklngman's standpoint and for the benefit of worklngmen. Mr. Garland worked for years In a rolling mill and tolled before the puddling and heating furnaces. He discussed fully the passage of the eight-hour law for workingmen by a Republican House. It then went to the Senate, reaching a committee, the chairman of which was a Democrat. Every

Republican senator joined In signing a petition to have the chairman call his committee together for the purpose of considering the measure, but he refused to do so. This was cited as a glaring example of what the Democratic party has done for the laborers of this country. In the course of his remark?, Mr. Garland said the Democratic party has always been one of promises, while the Republican party has been one of performances. The latter does not talk of prosperity between 1S33 and 1S7, but does tell of what it is going to do. The Republican party points to its record and says: "This is what we have done; judge for yourselves." The trust question was also given some consideration, and the speaker showed that the only antitrust law on the statute books was presented by a Republican, passed by a Republican Congress, and signed by a Republican President. In closing, Mr. Garland defined the full dinner pall as meaning not merely breakfast, dinner and supper, but more dollars for those who labor, and better conditions and more happiness. STIRRED UP THE PEOPLE.

Senator Beverldse Addresses Greensburg Republicans. Special to the Indianapol! Journal. GREENSBURG, Ind., Oct. 23.-Senator A. J. Beveridge spoke to-day to a crowd of several thousand people In the courthouse park. The crowd commenced coming early, and by noon the streets wera thronged with people. A very attractive feature was the large parade of Fremont and Lincoln voters, Rough Riders to the number of '5W, many companies in full uniform, and a large number of other marchers. Along the line of march many dwellings and business houses were attractively decorated with the national colors. The city schools were dismissed, and hundreds of business men turned out, in full accord with the spirit of the occasion. A grand ovation was given Senator Beveridge as he took the stand. It continued lor many minutes before he could be heard. Greensburg was ablaze with enthusiasm all day, and the eloquent phrases and convincing argument of the speaker stirred the crowd mightily; . One of the most enthusiastic auditors on the stage was George W. Geivin, an attor-ney-at-law, of Batesville. He had been elected to Introduce John XV. Kern at a Democratic meeting held at Batesville last evening, but as he was not wholly in accord with Populism, although having voted for Bryan four years ago, he declined, as he could not again indorse Bryan's fallacies, and to-day, after listening to Senator Beveridge, announced himself for McKinley. Mr. Geivin is a man of influence, and a number of his personal friends will Join him for McKinley. The enthusiasm of the day continued during the evening, large crowds parading the streets, headed by bands. Charles Martindale addressed a large- and attentive crowd at the Grand. ADDRESSED TWO MEETINGS. Senntor Fairbanks the Center of a Great Demonstration nt Goshen. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GOSHEN, Ind., Oct. 23. A meeting tonight addressed by Senator C. W. Fairbanks was the occasion of the most spontaneous outpouring of Republicans from Elkhart and Goshen so far witnessed during the campaign. Elkhart sent over three trainloads of people, and so eager was the crowd to hear Fairbanks that the opera house, in which ho was to speak, was packed to the doors two hours before tho time set for the meeting, necessitating the holding of a large overflow meeting in Court Park, where a brief address was made by the senator. Senator Fairbanks dwelt at length on the great disparity in the personal qualities of McKinley and Bryan, handling without gloves the latter's journeys through the land, "appealing to the basest passions of the distressed, the unfortunate, and the envious, in his wild and undignified scramble for votes to elect him to the highest office within the gift of tho people." He spoke in detail of the foreign policy of the administration, saying that in all cases the Bryan progaganda had "damned the President because he didn't, and when he did they also '.damned him." He brushed aside with a few words the unreasonableness of the anti-imperialistic cry, and by his speech of two hours duration installed Into the veins of the Republicans of the county an enthusiasm which will endure until election day. ' ' WATSON IX HANCOCK. lie Addresses 151 Meeting at Shirley and Neu Palestine. Speclat to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENFIELD, ', Ind., Oct. 23.-Repre-sentatlve James E. Watson spoke twice In Hancock county Monday. In the afternoon he spoke at Martlndale's Hall, in Shirley, to a large audience, which was much pleased with his speech.

Mr. Watson spoke at New Palestine at night. There was a very large crowd present, more than twice as many as could get into the hall. There was much enthusiasm. Lxtrz A. Whltcomb, of Indianapolis, the candidate for joint representative from Hancock and Marion counties, was present at the New Palestine meeting and also spoke. DENYING A CANARD. A. F. Phillips, Formerly of Ivokomo, Snys He Will Vote for McKinley. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SALT LAKE. Utah, Oct. 23. The St Louis Republic of last Sunday contained a special dispatch from Indianapolis stating that A. F. Phillips, telegraph editor of the Tribune of this city, and formerly owner and editor of the Kokomo Tribune, had declared for Bryan. Mr. Phillips says that the story is a falsehood. He says: "As women vote in Utah, my family in this State, including my daughters and sons-in-law, includes eight voters. Every one of these eight votes will be cast for McKinley and the straight Republican ticket." OTHER MEETINGS. John L. Grilllths to the Farmers and Miners of Clay County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CARBON, Ind., Oct. 23. John L. Griffiths, of Indianapolis, addressed one of the largest gatherings ever assembled in thto place to-night. Tho crowd consisted of farmers and miners, principally, and the great enthusiasm displayed surely indicated that they will not support Bryan. Mr. Griffiths's argument for the continuation of prosperity was received with great applause. He showed beyond question that the miners are receiving larger wages and are working double time under a Republican administration. He demonstrated that the farmers are receiving largely increased prices for their products since McKinley' election. The people of this county cannot bo convinced by false prophets that their condition has not been better, and a good report can be expected by the Republicans on the Cth of November from Clay county. At Saluda Jefferson county Republicans held a big all-day rally Tuesday. M. R. Sulzer and Judge W. T. Freidley, of Madison, and O. II. Montgomery, of Seymour, were the speakers. Much enthusiasm was manifested. At Martinsville R. H. Catlln. of Terre Haute, addressed a large Republican audience at the courthouse Monday night.

Landis opened a week's canvass of Hamilton county with an afternoon address Monday. Ilia audience was made up chiefly of farmers, and Mr. Landis made a careful analysis of the Republican policies In their relation to agricultural interests. He spoke at night at Atlanta. His reception was very demonstrative at both places. At M uncle Judson W. Lyon, registrar of the United States treasury, and one of the foremost men of his race, addressed a big Republican meeting Tuesday night under the auspices of the colored clubs of Muncie.

No Coercion of Shopmen. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 23.-Stren-uoua denial is made at the Davis cooperage works, of this city, both by the management and the Democratic employes, of a report published in this morning's Sentinel, emanating from , here, of attempted political coercion of the Democratic workmen. Both sides say the story is false from beginning to end. When the Republican shopmen organized their Rough Rider Club they asked the Democratic workmen to Join. The latter declined, as vas expected, and the matter has not been mentioned from that day to this. The Democratic workmen say they have been treated with every political consideration which they could expect, and which they, as well, accord to their Republican colaborers. Effectively Illustrated Speech. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENFIELD, Ind., Oct. 23.-Frank T. Roots, of Connersville, addressed the Republicans of Greenfield at the Rough Riders Hall to-night. There was a most excellent audience, many ladles being out. Mr. Roots made one of the clearest, most forcible and convincing speeches heard here this year. He used charts to Illustrate the increase in business of all kinds, such as revenues from farm products, bank deposits, wages, exports, imports, revenues, territorial expansion and various other things. The expositions of the money question, as given by his silver coins of all kinds and sizes, v:as very effective. Ninety Per Cent, for McKinley. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Over 90 per cent, of the lithographs which were torn down in compliance with the order were portraits of McKinley and Roosevelt. Mr. Cross personally is an ardent Republican. Democratic Falsehood Controverted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Oct. 23. For months rumors and reports have been going over this district that there was an organization of old soldiers, led by Dr. A. R. Tucker and ex-Department Commander II. M. Caylor, of this city, which was opposed to the re-election of Representative C. B. Landis. Dr. Tucker and Mr. Caylor denounce the story as a falsehood In all its details, proclaim their fealty to the entire Republican ticket, and especially affirm their allegiance to McKinley, Roosevelt and Landis. , Notes of Indiana Politics.

COUNTERFEIT TREASURY NOTE IT IS A FIVE-DOLLAR "IXDIAX HEAD OF THE SERIES OF Xo Development in Proposed Parchase of the DanUh Went Indies, Despite Foreign Rumors. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Many Inquiries have been made recently at the Pension Office as to the status of claims filed for pensions by soldiers of the Spanish-American war. Commissioner Evans said today that the bureau scarcely had time to respond to all the Inquiries, and that the claims were being adjudicated as rapidly as possible. "There have been fi'ed 34.000 claims on account of the Spanish-American war up to Monday morning. Oct. 22," said the commissioner. "Calls have been made for evidence In 23,424 of these claims. Medical examinations have been ordered by this bureau in 2S.224 claims. The difference between the number of claims fded and the number of medical examinations ordered practically represents the number of widows and dependents' claims. Four thousand two hundred and thirty-seven of the?e claims have been adjudicated already. When the division was organized having charge of these claims all claims of widows and claims for gunshot wounds and severe disability of soldiers were given the right of way, practically making them special, and they were promptly adjudicated. Twenty-five clerks were assigned to this work, and, like other divisions of the bureau, the work is now practically current. All classes of claims are treated alike, as provided by the law and the established practice." XXX Yesterday's statement of the treasury balances in the general fund, exclusive of the 150,000,000 gold reserve In the division of redemption, showed available cash balance, $132.507.104; gold, JS5.9CS.550. XXX A telegram received at the Postofilce Department from Nome City, Alaska, shows that up to Sept. 21 the Nome postofflce had sold 5,000 money orders. The money order service had been in operation then about three months, and officials here estimate that the sales of money orders for the quarter amounted to $400,000. XXX George M. Allen's condition remains the same, and Jacob B. Turner continues to improve. xxx The Secret Service Bureau of the Treasury Department has discovered a new Indian head $3 counterfeit. The note Is of the series of 18U9, check letter B, face plate No. 20, back plate No. 23. J. Lyons register and Ellis II. Roberts treasurer. xxx Relative to the European reports of the effort of the United States government to purchase the Danish West Indies, it is said here that there has been no change in the status of this matter for some time past. The United States government is quietly awaiting developments in Denmark, where the last effective obstacle was interposed to the transfer in the shape of a popular outcry against the cession of the islands. When the Danish government is in position to make the sale, our government will be prepared to negotiate on the subject afresh. The impression is conveyed here that the figure named as fhe price to be paid, 17,000,000, Is far beyond the mark. XXX Rural free delivery service has been ordered established In Indiana Nov. 1 as follows: Connersville, Fayette county, two carriers; length of routes, 61 miles; area covered, 69 square miles; population served. 1,902; carriers, J. M. Coe, Richard Tyner. Matthews, Grant- county, one carrier; length of route, 21 miles; area covered, CS square miles; population served, 1,003; carrier, Charles Scott. XXX Indiana postmasters were appointed today as follows: Carlos, Randolph county. Fielder E. Olvy, vice O. P. Mills, resigned; Hadley, Hendricks county, Ezra C. Bates, vice P. P. Thomas, removed.

The Governor asked him to stand up, and stated to his hearers that their share of him was eighty-six one-hundredths, or about an ounce and a half, comparing the population to the size of the army. "HURRAH FOR BRYAN!" AGAIN. Governor Roosevelt and his party reached Stamford at 12:25. Considering the size of the village a large crowd greeted him. The vice presidential candidate had made a short stop at Roxbury, a few miles below, and had been angered by a man In the crowd yelling "Hurrah for Bryan." "Hurrah for Bryan," said the Governor, "why don't you hurrah for Bryan? When any man says 'hurrah for Bryan' I always feel like asking why?" A voice "They can't answer." "That's it, because Mr. Bryan has announced that Mr. Croker is the prophet of Tammany Hall and the State, Is why they hurrah for Bryan," said Governor Roosevelt. "Again, why hurrah for Bryan? why, for the 4cent dollar, for the prospect of cutting hito the Nation's debt by the simple process of cutting in two the Nation's honor. Is that a good reason for saying 'Hurrah for Bn'an! hurrah for Bryan!' Why don't you hurrah for Agulnaldo? You will give the greatest possible comfort to every Malay bandit who is shooting at the flag If you help or aid the Bryanlzed Democracy in any way. I make a distinction between the Bryanlzed Democracy and the Democracy of Jackson." The committee at Stamford had secured the new opera house for the addresses and the party was driven there in carriages. An audience that tested the capacity of the house greeted Governor Roosevelt as he walked on the stage. He said in part: "Now, Mr. Bryan yesterday was speaking about trusts. Apparently trusts are now the paramount issue. That paramount Issue. has changed so often that It has been a little difficult to keep up with it. Yesterday In his speech he proposed two remedies for the trusts. The first remedy was to put on the free list all trust-made artlcfes. Ills next proposition is to provide by law that there shall be interference by the federal government. Now II critk-iso his first remedy as being marked to tht last degree by folly. The fact is Mr. Bryan is not sincere. He claims that if the Democratic party had a chance they would abolish trusts. Well, he had four years in Congress and during that time some of the million dollars' worth of trusts were formed, and I have not heard that he raised his finger or his voice to stop them. And then you remember that the records of Congress show that all but four Democrats in the House voted against the socalled anti-trust bill and gave their reason for so doing, through the mouth of Mr. Richardson, that if the bill was passed they would have nothing to make a paramount Issue in this campaign." FOR ALTGELD AND AGUINALDO. At Bloomvllle Colonel Roosevelt said: "I want to call your attention to a little Incident that occurred last night in New York. I think you can sometimes know a man by the company he keeps. You can sometimes tell something about a candidate by the people who are his most active supporters. There was a Bryan meeting last night in New York in Cooper Union. 1 think. At that meeting the morninc naI pera report that the two peopl most en-

thuslastically cheered were Agulnaldo. o the Philippines, and Altgeld, cl Illinois. I think it was entirely proper to cheer ona if you cheer the other. It was entirely appropriate to cheer the man who pardoned the Anarchists in this country and the man who has been striking at our soldiers on the other side of the earth. Now think of a party that relies upon that kind of support, nymbollzed by the men who cheered Altgeld and Agulnaldo. On of the speakers is reported to Imve spokea of Agulnaldo as a great apostle of freedom, and a few months ago a certain liryanlte alluded to him as a second George Washington. You may not be familiar with Aguinaldo's history, so I will give it to you briefly." Continuing, Governor Roosevelt reviewed, as he has in several previous speeches, the action ot Agulnaldo In accepting $400.(xO from the Spaniards to cease hostilities anl his subsequent action in resuming the wartare against Spain. He then said: "Now, gentlemen, think of a party that Is reduced to champion that type of man. We ar accused of trying to govern without tha consent of the governed. Consent of tho governedFelf-government for those people. Why, aftcr we took Manila a year ago last February he Issued through his .secretary a proclamation In which it was implicitly stated that every man. woman end child not a Filipino should Im put to death. The statement was that all people, mind you, all people not Filipinos s-hould be exterminated without mercy. First the army of occupation and then all other people not Filipinos." At Oneonta the Governor stated to his audience that he appealed to them for the continuance in power in both State and nation of the administration which they now knew. The Governor referred his hearers to the object lesson presented by the contrast of the city of New York and the government of the State under the Republican patty. He also aked hU hearers to contrast the hard times of 1XU with the times of 1&D7. DOFFS IIIS HAT TO A VETERAN. At Oswego, while the Governor was ad-' dressing his auditors, he referred to the. fact that some of them wore the Grand Army button and appealed to them to support the government In civil life as they had in the days of the civil war. One of his hearers remarked: "Some of us were there who don't wear the button." here Indicating the lapel of his coat "You fought Just the same," responded the Governor, "and I doff my hat to you," making a salute with his broad-brimmed sombrero. "Mr. Bryan proposes to abolish the army and at the Fame time to keep Europe off the Philippines. He would have his hands full." At Unadilla the Governor had only proceeded a short way in his remarks when he was interrupted by a shout of "What Is the matter with the trusts?" "The ice trust?" queried the Governor. 'There are other trusts; that is the only one you know in Oyster Cay," came back. The Governor evidently not hearing the reply, continued: "That is an unfortunate remark for a Democrat to make in this campaign, my friend," and the crowd applauded. The Governor further said: "Now I have Just been down through Kentucky. Everywhere I went I was Introduced on the platform by Gold Democrats, once by a Silver Democrat, and three times by exConfederate generals. Wherever I have been I have found Democrats supportlnj us precisely as Republicans support us, because they feel that this Is not a mere party contest. 'Such Democrats as the Union Generals lira gg, of Wisconsin, Sickles and Franz Sigel. of New York, and ex-Confederate soldiers like Ruckner and Easll Duke. Some of those men in Kentucky who are standing with u to-day were not with us four years ago. They am with us now because they find that in Kentucky, the right of personal liberty, which must underlie all free governments, is involved, and fo we find not only Gold Democrats but Sliver Democrats with us." At Sydney the Governor was Interrupted by an individual who kept calling out: "Hurrah tor Bryan!" at intervals. iVrcelving his condition the Governor at first paid no attention to him, but finally remarked: "Our friend there Is not a bigoted ly sober man." At Norwich Governor Roosevelt took an entirely new subject to-rilght, touching mostly upon state legislation. Referring to his efforts In framing legislation for New York State, he said: "I studied with interest what had been done in New Zealand. New Zealand tried very boldy a number of experiments in dealing with corporate wealth. I also studied the laws of Massachusetts. Rut I can tell you one State we only studied a little, because we found nothing in it, and that was Nebraska. They had had Ropulistlc legislation there, and we found some legislation to avoid, but wo did not find anything the other way. I have strong hepes that Nebraska will go Republican this year, and if ihat happens I am willing to guarantee that two or three years hence we will find laws there aflecting labor and corporations which will be good for us to carefully study in reforming our laws, but there is not anything there now." In fpite of the rainstorm which Fet in before the meetings, the Governor talked to two crowded houses to-night and would have talked to an overflow meeting outside had not the weather been so inclement. NEGROES CAUSE A RIOT. Ansrered Iiy n White- Man, Uho Cheered I.urtily for llrynn. HYNDMAN, Fa., Oct. 23. A riot occurred here at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon in a restaurant near the Raltlmore & Ohio depot, conducted by Willis Caves, a negro. Adam Shroyer, a white man. who was sitting at one of the tables, cheered lustily for Rryan and angered some negroes who were prtstnt. Knives and pistols were drawn and an effort made to kill Shroyer and his young t-on, who was near by. A score of shots were fired, but no one was hit. A reign of terror exists. The saloons have been closed, and Sheriff Gates, who has been sent for, will co.no here with a posse of deputies. The negroes employed on the R:tltlrnore & Ohio Improvement here were paid off Monday, and have been drunk and disorderly ever since, shooting and rioting in daylight and committing robberies.
