Governor Roosevelt finished the first week of hl3 State compalgn In this city to-night, speaking at four meetings. The special train was discarded by the party here and hotel beds were adopted for resting purposes tonight. Thlj afternoon the four gentlemen en the train who have assisted in entertaining the people at various promts, Walter D. Emerson, ex-Senator John Laughlin, James S. Whipple and James Sheffieldpresented Governor Roosevelt with a pair of sleeve links and a pin In commemoration of his forty-third birthday, of which to-day was the anniversary. At the big assemblage here to-night the Gover nor repeated many of the- things he has said at other p ints and in addition "The paramount issue in this campaign 1 Bryanlnn. and Bryanism means, in tho ipntre of civil honesty, Crokerism; in finance. Pettigrewisru; as regards liberty and order, Altgeltism; as regards an honest ballot, Goebelism, and as regards our foreign policy, Aguinaldolsm. "The other day at Yonktrs Mr. Bryan aid it was better for Mexico that we diä rot keep possession of the country. Tho United states never wished to keep possession of Mexico, but let Mr. Bryan compare the prosre.s that has been made in New Mexico, which we did take, with how it went on before, and he will speedily make uy Mi mind that it has greatly profited by belüg put under our flag. Incidentally, if Mr. Bryan will look up the history of the urrltory of New Mexico he will see that he need not be concerned about Porto Rico. We governed New Mexico at first exactly us we are governing Porto Rice. We gave largely a measure of self-government to lt3 leoplo. Just as we have given such a measure to Porto Rico. For fifty years New Mexico has been kept as a territory, yet Mr. Bryan does not talk about the consent cl the governed In New Mexico. As a matter of fact, 1 believe New Mexico should now be made a State, but it would have Ken folly to have admitted it to statehood for the; forty-odd years after we took posfession. In the same way it would be folly r.ow to administer the government of Porto Rico save as we arc actually administering it. "One Bryanite advocate the other day quoted tho elder Adams, signer of the Declaration of Indeix-ndenee and the flr3t President after Washington, as an antiexpansionist, but in reality Mr. Adams In a letter to Senator Quincy. of Feb. 9, 1S11, explicitly states that the 'Constitution admits of (to use his own words), conquering by kindness or force alien territory.' Jefferson showed by nis actions that he, the frarner of the Declaration of Independence, did not believe that that forbade our accusing the territory of Louisiana, without the consent of the governed, exactly as under President McKinley we have acquired th? Philippines. The above quotation shows that Jei'fc-rsons rival, Adams, occupied the same position. In fact. 1 doubt if there uas a single statesman worthy of the name anions all those who founded this government who ever adopted in serious earnestness the extreme position now taken by I'r. Bryan." HIRING THE DAY. Speeches hy the Governor on III Way to Blnshamton. BINGIIAMTON, N. Y., Oct. .-Governor Roosevelt was up early to-day at the residence of Mrs. Douglas Robinson, his flsier. In Madison avenue. New York. Havin.; breakfasted the Governor and Mrs. Roosevelt entered a carriage at 8:30 a, m., and, escorted by a platoon of twenty isountcd policemen, drove to the Erie Railroad ferry. In Jersey City the Governor r.tered his special car to travel toward Blnshamton, at which city he arrived at t-M p. m. Ou the way stops were made and ahf.rt speeches delivered at Stuffcrn, Iliibum, MUldlctown, Port Jervis, Schohola, Lackawaxen. Cochocton, Calllcoon, Ln Eddy, Deposit. Susquehanna and Great Bend. At the Erie ftxry in New York and the r-ilrcad station in Jersey City Governor Rao;itvelt wa.i cheered by good-sized crowds which had assembled to see him. Governor Roosevelt was in especially high Pirks, which fact he attributed to his satisfaction with the demonstration in New York last nlht and the occurrence or his forty-third birthday. When passing through Bassaic the Governor was cheered by a large party of workmen, employed in an iron foundry. One of the men displayed a large piece of , own Per on which was inscribed in wrge black letters: 'Teddy Is O. K." At aterson also there was a large assembly C worklnzmen who cheered the Governor. At Stuffern the Governor spoke briefly ircm the platform cf his car. He said: I appreciate you. the voters of the future, coming here (referring to a little company cr boys with cap and campaign capes on. nd American flags ln their hands) and you tiird thy tUs. You guard it because ycu

honor It. Now let us, of the older generation, see to it that It is honored." At Ilillburn there Is an iron works which recently enlarged its plant. Governor Roosevelt, in going to the platform from which he was to speak, passed the ranks of a campaign club, garbed like sailors, and said: "In the first place I notice the company that received me has Uncle Sam's uniform on It. We are not afraid of Uncle Sam's uniform not at all. The 'Malay bandits and Chinese Boxers are afraid of it, but we aro not. Mr. Bryan says you have not your share of prosperity. The country, as a whole, certainly has prospered. In 1SOZ none of us were prosperous. To-day there Is a high average of prosperity and your new Iron works is proof of it." Governor Roosevelt spoke in the opera house at Mlddletown to an audience which completely filled the seats and the standing room. The Governor said In part: "I have hitherto asked Mr. Bryan in vain to answer 'Whether, If elected, he will pay the outstanding obligations in gold or in silver; that Is, whether it is the secretary of the treasury or the creditors who have the right to choose the coin In which it is to be paid. Mr. Bryan, having refused to answer, I will now change the form of my

question. On Feb. 14, 1S95, In the House of Representatives, on the question of the gold bond resolution, Mr. Bryan said: 'We Insist that outstanding bonds are payable In gold or silver and that the United States lias the right to choose the coin. The debtor always has he choice of the coin where only coin is mentioned. Tha secretary of the treasury has the legal right to redeem greenbacks and treasury notes In silver and thus protect the people from tho gold hoarders and exporters. We should compel President Cleveland to protect the government by redeeming ln silver when that is more convenient. We believe that greenbacks and treasury notes aro redeemable In either gold or sliver at the option of the government.' "In another speech In the House of Representatives on Dec. 21, ISO!, Mr. Bryan said: 'The members of this Congress might just as well meet this question The present secretary of the treasury (Mr. Carlisle) has construed the law to mean that the option really applies to the noteholder and the same principle has been applied to the greenbacks. I find the English language hardly adequate to express my feelings on that subject. There is not a lawyer that would apply such a doctrine to anything except finance. I am in favor of it (the construction) that the government has the Cptlon and can exercise It to pay In silver (CONTINUED ON FIFTH PAGE.) DIES WITH CROKER MR.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-For the dinner given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan the Hoffman House ballroom was most elaborately decorated. It commenced at 6 o'clock, lasting over an hour. William R. Hearst sat at the head of the table. On his right at Mrs. Bryan and on his left was Mr. Bryan. On Mr. Bryan's side of the table were Mrs. James Russell Lowell, Mayor Van Wyck, Mrs. Elliot Danforth, Senator David B. Hill, Mrs. Randolph Guggenheimer, Governor Stone, J. D. Richardson, Miss Ellen F. Whalen, ex-Mayor Joslah Quincy, of Boston, Dr. J. H. Girdrer, Mrs. Max Eimsen, James K. McGuire, Max Ihmsen, Mrs. Philo S. Bennett, John G. Follansbee, James Creelman, C. C.

At the close of the dinner ex-Governor fctone made an address, in the course of which he charged Senator Scott with havsald at the banquet given to Governor Roosevelt at the Fifth-avenue Hotel last night: "Right here I want to say I believe in trusts; they are a good thing. The Standard Oil Company put in its pipe lines In all the small towns where oil is produced, and if it were not for the Standard Oil Company the prosperity that we have woull not be there." Continuing, Mr. Stone said:"T do not believe in trusts. They are bad things. I do not believe that the prosperity of the country or any part of the country Is dependent upon pipe lines laid by the Standard Oil Company. The Standard Oil Company is a monopoly. The president of the Standard Oil Company, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, is worth one billion dollars. What does that represent? It represents the labor of 500,000,000 men for one day at 12 per day. The entire adult male population of the whole world Is about SOO.OOO.WO. The fortune of this trust magnate Is equal to one day's labor at J2 a day to nearly double the entire adult population of the globe. I do not orpose the acquisition of honest wealth, but would encourage every enterprise of honest and legal character, but I am opposed to any industrial system which produces the results Indicated. This is the outgrowth of trusts and monopolies. I am opened to that kind of a thing.". When the dinner ended the party at once started for the meetings. An enormous crowd had gathered around the Hoffman House. When Mr. Croker appeared, followed a few moments later by Mr. Bryan, the crowd let its enthusiasm have full play. Mr. Bryan was driven at once to the Broadway Athletic Club meeting, where he addressed the Italian American League. Denial from Senator Scott. NEW YORK.

REVIEWED BY SENATOR HANNA AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL C0313IITTEE. Conditional Orders Aggregating Several Hundred Thonsand Dollars Placed by the B. fc O. R. R. , CHICAGO, Oct. 27. For six hours and a half to-day workingmen from every branch of Industry In Chicago, lawyers, merchants, railroad men, financiers', marched through the down-town streets of the city in the parade of Republican voters which was planned as the culmination of the national campaign ln Chicago. Between' two solid lines of spectators stretched from the starting point of the long march on Michigan to its disbanding place on Jackson boulevard near the river and underneath thousands of flags and banners, stretched between the big 'Office buildings and waving from the windows and roofs, the paraders tramped from 10 o'clock in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon. The day was practically a holiday in Chicago. The Board of Trade, the banks and many of the big down-town stores were closed and the residence districts were partly deserted for hours, while the people massed themselves along the miles of tortuous line of marches applauded to their hearts' content. The day was a perfect one. Hardly a cloud flecked the sky, while a cool breeze from Lake Michigan tempered the warm rays of the sun and kept fluttering the flags and streamers which decorated the line of march and -lifted high in the air the scores of Immense kites from which were suspended "McKinley and Prosperity" banners. Promptly at 10 o'clock the head of the parade, composed of a double line of police and followed by Col. E. C. Young and staff, chief marshal, moved from the starting point at Michigan avenue and Randolph street, and from that time the marchers, with scores of bands playing all kinds of music, good, bad and Indifferent, tramped steadily over the granite pavements past the reviewing stand on Jackson boulevard to Jackson and Market streets, where they disbanded. At nearly every point along the line of parade the marchers, cheering, waving flags, blowing horns and singing campaign songs as they filed by were cheered in return by the densely packed masses on the sidewalks, but here and there a counter demonstration ln favor 'of Bryan was made by the throngs, and in one instance almost a riot took place in consequence. POTATO THROWER PUNISHED. In front of the City Hall on Washington street were gathered a crowd of enthusiastic Bryan shouters, all waving pictures of the Democratic presidential candidate. Some one in the crowd on tho walk threw a potato into the ranks of a West-side marching club going by. The potato hit a marcher in the eye and forced him to leave the ranks. Another marcher plunged into the crowd and forced his way to the thrower. In an Instant there was a free-for-all fight. Three companies of ' tho marchers broke ianks, and, with uplifted canes, rushed into the struggling, shouting mass on the sidewalk. It took vigorous work by more than thirty policemen before things were quited down, and in the meantime black eyes and gory noses had accumulated to an alarming degree. The parade, was replete with unique features. Well up toward the head of the parade, and preceding the members of the Marquette Club, who were in tollyhos, two elephants lumbered along bearing on their huge sides banners Inscribed,' "G. O. P." These were the contribution of the Marquette Club. Close behind the two large elephants came a diminutive donkey. The Hamilton Club contributed a float bearing a stuffed elephant appropriately decorated and bearing various legends. Furnaces in full blast with rows of perspiring workmen caught the fancy of the crowd, as did an enormous dinner pail, mounted on trucks and festooned with canvas hams and loaves of bread. The Chicago & Alton Railroad employes escorted a float representing a parlor chair car. Near the center of the parade, borne aloft on poles by a hundred men, was a huge banner, a block in length, inscribed "McKinley and Roosevelt, and four years more of prosperity." A sixty-foot plank, gilded and properly inscribed, was borne on the shoulders of fifty uniformed men. The parade was reviewed by Chairman Hanna, Senators Mason and Cullom, Vice Chairman Henry C. Payne, Secretary Perry 8. Heath. National Committeemen Stewart. New and Kerens and others from the balcony of the Grand Pacific Hotel, and around this point the greatest enthusiasm of the parade was shown. Senator Hanna especially was cheered by the marchers and was kept busy responding to the salutations. Many out-of-town organizations were represented In the parade. The most prominent was a delegation of 130 from the Americus Club, of Pittsburg, pa., who were guests of the Hamilton Club. Big marchini; clubs were also rresent from Kenosha, Wis., Rockford, Dixon and Deering. 111., and from many of the nearby suburban towns. .The numerical strength of tho parade was vtxiourly estimated, but rca cpparcr.tly crc-trr tLnn tts "ccurd dct7"

Representative Londenslagcr Predicts Republican Gains. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Oct. 27. Representative Loudenslager, of New. Jersey, in charge of the Eastern headquarters of the Republican congressional- committee, made today his first personal statement as to the political complexion of the House in the next Congress. He said: "I am confident the Republicans will organize the next House. The reports from all over the country received at these headquarters, coming in from every district and through several different channels, and not confined wholly to political organization information, show clearly and conclusively that the cause of sound money and protection and the upholding of the national honor and credit has been steadily growing. The Republicans and those allied with them in this campaign have been steadily growing more and more active and energetic as they realize the importance of this election. Many who voted for Bryan in 1S&6 have now declared they intend, for the first time, to vote a Republican ticket. The reports from all over the West are very encouraging, Indeed, and, while I am not as specifically advised concerning that portion of the country as I am in tho East, yet I am sure we will make gains in that section. So far as the East is concerned, from which territory I have specific information, I am confident we will hold every Republican district that we have now; besides that, I am confident that we will carry about ten additional districts, with the chances in our favor of several others. As to the general situation, you can put all New England, New York, Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia in the Republican column.

They Are Charged with Forging the Name of the Late SIHHonalre Rice to a Check for $23,000. REP0KT OF PROF. WITTHAUS WHO EXA3IINED CERTAIN ORGANS OF THE DEAD FINANCIER. Arsenic and Mcrcnry Found In the Intestines nnd Kidney Discredited by the Prisoners. NEW YORK, Oct. 27. Magistrate Brann to-day announced his decision In the case of Albert T. Pat rick pdCharle? F. Jones, counsel and private secretary, respectively, for the late William M. Rice, holding them to await the action of the grand Jury. Bail was fixed at $10,000 each. The two prisoners are charged with having forged the signature of Mr. Rice, who died in hi3 apartments, on Madison avenue, under strange circumstances, to a check for $25,000 drawn on the banking firm of Swenson & Sons. The check was made payable! to Mr. Patrick. The check was presented at the bank for certification, and, owing to an error in the spelling of Patrick's name, held up by the bank employes. Inquiry at the home of Mr. Rice by telephone disclosed the fact that Mr. Rice had died the day before the check was presented. In his report to the coroner Professor Witthaus gives the result of the analysis of certain organs of Mr. Rice, which he iecelved from the coroner, and of embalming fluid received frohj the undertaker who embalmed the body of Mr. Rice. The fluid, Professor Witthaus said, contained, besides formaldehyde, the foreign mineral ingredients, pottasslum, soda, zinc and aluminum, sulphuric acid, arsenious acid and chloride. The embalming liquid contains no mercury. The report continues: "The analysis of the stomach and intestines for vegetable poisons have given negative results. The analysis of the stomach, of the intestines and of the kidneys for volatile poison failed to Ehow the presence of any foreign substance other than formaldehyde, a constituent of the embalming liquid mentioned before. The analysis for mineral poisons referred to below has not yet been carried to the par where the zinc may appear. That metal may or may not appear. The stomach was found to contain arsenic in notable quantities, an unweighable minute quantity of mercurj The presence of the arsenic in this and the parts mentioned below would be accounted for if the embalming liquid, a sample of which I analyzed, had been used in preserving this body. The intestines were found to contain both arsenic and mercury. The quantity of arsenic present has not been determined. The quantity of mercury present in the sample examined was found to be 0.00S6 gram in 150 grams of tissue equivalent to seventeen-thousandths grain, per ounce of 4S0 grains. The kidneys contained arsenic and mercury also. The quantity of arsenic has not been determined. The quantity of mercury present ln the sample examined was found to be O.O0S1 gram in 167 grams of tissue, equivalent to 0.23 grain per ounce. I would infer from the very small quantity of mercury found in the stomach and the relatively large amount found in the intestines, and particularly In the kidneys, that the metal ln some form of soluble combination had been introduced into the body during the life of the deceased, probably several hours, possibly days, previous to his death." Coroner Hart said he would report immediately to the district attorney's office, and that a time would be set for a conference at which Professor Witthaus would be present. He said that on the report of this conference a date will be set for an Inquest. A note wa3 sent to Patrick and Jones In the Tombs notifying them of the findings In Professor Wittnaus' report. Jones would make no reply. Tatrlck sent back word that he did not believe the statement and that in his mind such a finding was impossible: He referred the sender of his note to his counsel.

' DAY TRIP INTO CONNECTICUT POPOCRACY'S CANDIDATE MAKES A VISIT TO NEW HAVEN, And Tells Yale Students the Kansas City Platform Expresses Ills Views on the Financial Question. NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-,WillIam Jennings Bryan's second coming to this city was the occasion to-night of one of the greatest political demonstrations of the campaign. Fourteen thousand people beard the Democratic candidate speak at Madison-square Garden. He had been speaking all day. This morning was spent at New Haven and this afternoon he made several addresses at points between New Haven and this city. He was accompanied to this city by two hundred Yale students. When he arrived at the Grand Central station there were more than 5,000 persons to greet him. He spent the remainder of the afternoon at the Hoffman House, where he went over the business of the campaign with leaders. After a dinner In his honor, at which there were forty-five guests, he witnessed the great pyrotechnic, display. The sky nas carpeted with red and Madison square was ablaze in his honor when the carriage which was to take him on his tour appeared. The streets were crowded with people and his trip to Madison-square Garden was a triumphal one. The first stop was made at the ' Broadway Athletic Club, where Mr. Bryan spoke to 10,000 enthusiastic people, the majority of whom were ItaUans. He reached Cooper Union about 9 o'clock and addressed a large- gathering of Germans. Thence Mr. Bryan drove to the corner of Fourteenth street and Second avenue, where he made a speech from .his carriage to a crowd of about 5,000 people. He made another from.his. ca r rl aga.. to agathering at Twentieth street and Second avenue. : Mr. Bryan's Madison-square speech was not begun until after 10 o'clock. It was unlike his former speech at that place. It was addressed to the independent class mainly and he referred to the financial Issues. Many times he was forced to stop because of the tremendous cheering. From the time he entered the hall until he quit speaking the outside of the hall was ringing with cheers. As a climax to the day he made two other outdoor speeches. The first was from a stand near Dewey Arch, where he talked to 15,000 persons who could not get into Madison-square Garden. He made -another short speech at Madison avenue and Twenty-fourth street. He was then driven to the Hoffman House, where he retired for the night. SPEECH TO ITALIANS. At the Broadway Athletic Club Mr. Bryan said: "I promise you that if I am elected I will be true to every promise I have made. I believe the principles of our party appeal to the majority of the common people. The term 'common people' is not one of reproach. It Is used in the Bible, and there the highest compliment is contained that was ever said of the common people. For when Christ gave the Eleventh Commandment to the people the people heard Him gladly. By the common people we mean those who are the producers, who contribute to the wealth of the country and advance Its prosperity. The common people are the country's capital in peace end its soldiers In war. They are more numerous than the uncommon people and vastly more important. They will be greatly benefited by the effect of Democratic doctrines, but those who speculate In the wealth of some one else will not be. The common people only ask the right to labor and enjoy the fruits of their toil. Your chairman speaks of your love for your native land. If you did not love your native land you would not be fit to be citizens. A man who does not love his native land is of no use to any community, whether of his birth or adoption." Mr. Bryan talked for twenty minutes and then drove through cheering crowds to Ccoper Union. Mr. Bryan was profusely greeted by those on the platform. He returned their greetings in the most cordial manner. As he faced the audience he looked smilingly happy, and confident. He spoke as follows: "If the Republicans tell me the Democratic Germans left the Democratic party to save the gold standard I reply that they have come back to save the Declaration of Independence. I have made no attempt to conceal my views on the money question. Cries of 'Good, good. .1 would.be unworthy of your confidence. I would be unworthy of your support for any office if my opinions should be changed to suit an occasion or to win a vote. If I would surrender my convictions on the money question in order to get to be President I might surrender my convictions on the trust question, on the array question and on imperialism, after I got to be President. ut, my friends, while my views are known on the money question I believe that questions of government are more important than questions of money. I believe that it is more important that we should have a Republic than we shall have any particular kind of money standard." Referring to the question of colonial acQUiItlon Mk. Bryan said he was glad the Democratic party had been prompt to take its position against imperialism. When I first had occasion to speak on the subject," he said, "I had not had time to consult other members of the party, but I did not believe that any party that had the principles which the Democratic party had. could indorse an imperial policy and I thought that there was no danger ln any man speaking. out In defense of the Declaration of Independence. Whtn I was cautioned not to speak too soon my reply was that when the Declaration cf Independence was repeated I would ts cut of politics any how and the exact date cf my retirement did not matter. I am thst th3 Democratic rrty rr lz iu itz-.l c-zl to rrtz'izl.zr:. I c " : - :

whether it would be proper or not. I do not ask whether it would bring us favur. Speaking for myself I would a thousand times, rather the Democratic party would go down to defeat fighting on the doctrine that governments rest on the consent of the governed, rather than win by disregarding that doctrine." The speaker was received with loud applause. AT SECOND AVENUE. Second avenue presented a eight which It has seldom seen. Bryan enthusiasts swarmed into the avenue until it wai simply impassable from Tenth to Twenty-second streets. The stand erected at the corner of Fourteenth street was surrounded by a living mass of people. Forjoiore than half an hour Assistant District Attorney Osborne entertained the crowd. It was a pushing, shoving, seething mas3 of humanity as far as the eye could reach. They were waiting for Bryan. The windows of the adjacent houses were filled with people, who showed their demonstrations in all manners of ways. Several young women from a house on Second avenue, almost opposite the stand kept up a continual shooting off of a pistol, while others from the roofs set off a continual stream of fireworks. It was soon after 9 o'clock when the presidential candidate was announced by the shouts of the crowd. Several mounted policemen rushed through the crowd and made a passageway for a carriage behind them. This contained Mr. Bryan. He alighted when he reached a position just ln front of the stand and was escorted through the crowd. He was received with cheers which even he could not subdue for several minutes. Mr. Bryan stood with his head bared before the crowd and his hand raised for quiet. Just as order had been restored several boys perched in a window just back of the stand started to shout for Bryan, whereupon the presidential candidate turned around and smiled. This was the signal for another outburst, which lasted several minutes. Mr. Bryan said that he had Just come from a warm room, but that he would say a few words. He said: "I believe our cause appeals to the right. We want the doors of the Philippine islands opened. We want the Filipinos to have the same rights that we enjoy." Mr. Bryan ended his brief talk by saying: "I am opposed to industrial despotism." The crowd went wild when Mr. Bryan walked down the stairs to the platform, and it was with considerable difficulty that he reached his carriage. AT THE GARDEN.

Mr. Bryan Is Given a Noisy Welcome What He Sqld. At least an hour before the doors were opened to Madison Square Garden this evening a vast crowd had gathered about the building and it took but a short while to fill the thirty-five hundred unreserved seats.

Large Amount of Wind Wasted by the CfwJ -r.il a- Gtod Deal Ex- . pended by the Speakers. C0IJET OF HONOR LIGHTED AND FIREWORKS SET OFF TO AROUSE BRYANITE ENTHUSIASM. Adlal E. Stevenson the Orator of the Occasion, Though Lesser Lights Were Permitted to Speak CHICAGO, Oct. 27. Probably the largest outdoor political mass meeting ever organized in Chicago was held to-night in the half mile of State street knownas the "Court of Honor." The great thoroughfare, nearly twice the width of any other street In Chicago, was thronged from Van Buren, to Randolph street with a cheering. Jostling mass of people. Chairman James K. Jones, of the Democratic national committee, had designated this as "flag day" and the national banner played an important and spectacular part in the celebration. Portraits of Bryan and Stevenson were also numerous along the broad street. Along both sides of State street speakers' stands had been erected at short distances, and from these points Democratic orators cf prominence addressed the portions of the multitude nearest at hand. The chief speaker was Adlai E. Stevenson, former Vice President and again a candidate for that office. Other orators were Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas: former Governor Hogg, of Texas; Benjamin F, Shlvely, of Indiana; Capt Patrick O'Farrell, of Washington, D. C; Col. John I. Martin, of Missouri; Samuel Alschuler. Democratic candidate for Governor of Illinois, and Mayor Carter H. Harrison, of Chicago, besides a score of local speakers Mr. Stevenson end the rest of the star orators were driven rapidly from one stand to another and were thus enabled to make their arguments 'heard by thousands of people. The illumination of the Court of Honor was begun as soon as darkness get in, and soon after, from Randolph to Van Buren fctreet, it was a solid blare of light. The crowds began to gather early, and soon the broad thoroughfare was one mass of shouting, enthusiastic humanity, through which It was almost Impossible for the police to secure passage for the carriages containing the orators of the evening.

Smiley N. Chambers and John B Cockrnni, of This City, Also Made Addresses. Sped! to the Indianapolis Journal. NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Oct 27.-The demonstration here to-day In honor of the visit of Gen. David B. Henderson, of Iowa, speaker of the National House of Representatives, was one which will live long in the memory of those fortunate enough to take part in it. The state of the weather has been such as to disprove Bryan's recent assertion that "God is a Democrat." The crowd which. assembled In this city to-day to greet the. distinguished statesman and orator was the largest that ever participated in a political rally in Hamilton county. Various estimates of Its sixe ranged from 15,000 to 25,000. The streets falrl;c swarmed with humanity all day long. Every township In the county sent a generous delegation. The decorations surpassed anything previously attempted here. The great parade took place at 11 o'clock this morning and proved an imposing and interesting Affair. The marchers extended In an unbroken"Une "of over a'mHe in length and their passage past a given point occupied cne hour. Several Fpccial features of great beauty lent a tinge of the picturesque to the procession. One of these was carriage handsomely decorated in yellow, occupied by four young ladles attired in yellow costumes, to represent the gold standard. The Sheridan delegation aroused much enthusiasm by the display of a banner carrying the Inscription, "We'll leave our happy homes for you, Landis." Hortonville, the home of many Quakers, refuted the popular notion that this sect is opposed to the Republican ticket on account of its present military policy by exhibiting a banner inscribed. "Quakers Will Fight Democracy." A band of nearly three hundred Rough Riders attracted great attention and evoked bursts of enthusiasm as they rode proudly by in the parade. Republican leaders have had their spirits elevated greatly by to-day's monster demon stration and feel that the result is no longer In doubt. THE HENDERSON PARTY. General Henderson, with his party, si rived at 1 o'clock and was received at tYi station by a troop of Rough Riders ivith a band. The general was accompanied byMrs. Henderson, David Moore, hia privat secretary. District Chairman Fred , Sims, of Frankfort, and Messrs. John B. Coi krum. R. O. Hawkins, Smiley N. Chambers. Panlel M. Ransdell, Archibald A. Youns and Dr. Franklin W. Hays, of Indlanaioli?. A reception committee, composed of County Chairman S. M. Smith. T. J. Lindley nnd Will H. Craig, accompanied General Henderson from Indianapolis to NobJi.ville. The big meeting was held In the mammoth Republican tent north of the city, and thousands listened to. the eloquent and witty address of the principal orator. Other speeches were made by Mesr. Chambers and Cockrum, who were given rousing receptions nnd listened to with close attention. The meeting was preside! over br-T. J. Lindley. of Westfield. Gen. Henderson took occasion near the outset of his speech to pay a glowing tribute to Representative Landis, which was greeted with tumultous demonstrations of approval. Referring to Mr. Landls. the speaker said: "I don't know whether Charley Landis was born on a farm or not. Was he? Cries of Tes.' I did not know that a farm could turn out such a silvery vo!c as Charley's, yet he is the orator of Congress. We have Dolllver there, we, have Cousins there, we have Henderson there. Laughter. Even members of Confrrs figure on getting to heaven after a long probationary period, but Landis can lift a congregation heavenward as no other man 1 ever heard talk, and It is a pleasure to visit a town situated ln his district. I want to tell you a thing about Landis. You know If a man in Congress gets on one hi committee he must be satisfied. That is enough. Charley Landis Is on one of ths greatest committees of the House of Representatives that of foreign affairs. A LEVEL-HEADED MAN. "It requires a level-headed man to fill ft place on a committee that has to deal with foreign affairs. A hot-headed man mlht get us Into foreign complications. Charley Iandls Is a level-headed man, and he is on that committee. In addition to that, he is on the committee on civil fcrvice reform, and the first time I whs attracted to the man was In the last Congress when t.a 'skinned the Democratic reformers to a finish. Jlis exposure and denunciation of the shortcomin-s of these men was terrl?.?. In addition to that second committee, he la on the elrctior.3 ccrr.rr.lttee.
