Ansd could do no more; patriot could do no le?s. You, and others like you, have fought the batics of the Republican party since those early days, when conceived In the heart of Gtd himself. It had its birth. What a' life that party has lived! Consecrated to liberty, it brought freedom to a race. Drought it at the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of lives and millions of treasure. Columbia's rivers ran red witii the blood of her truest sons, drawn forth by her own keen blade. The greatest war or all history was waged by the gentlest, kindliest, most tender-hearted man of th-3 century, that our beloved country might Indeed become the 'land of the free and the home of the brave.' The many problems of reconstruction were solved. Th3 country was reunited. Constitutional amendments were adopted. Specie payments were resumed. The national debt was paid. Disabled and worthy soldiers were pensioned. Repudiation was trodden under foot. Protection was accorded American Institutions and American labor. Our currency has been kept the best In all the world. And to-dar our flag is flying and our institutions are finding lodgement to dlstAnt climes. The best soldier in all tha .world the volunteer soldier of the United States your son and your brother has carried 'Old Glory within the forbiddea walls of the imperial city of the most ancient empire upon the globe. Carried it there carried-it everywhere not for conquest, not for gain; but that the blessed principle of liberty might be more wideiy understood. GLORY OF ACHIEVEMENT. "The glory of these achievements Is largely your3. Every step In this mighty advance has been contested. The battle is still on. The party of opposition, the party of negation, the party which traduced tha savior of our country, the party which opposed protection for. our labor, the party which proposed to pay the worklngraan and :the husbandman in a depreciated dollar, the party which discovered a Washington In the Philippines, armed to the teeth to destroy our brave sons, and a Moses on the Platte who essayed to lead the people to the worship of a silver imago; this party yet attempts to stay the progress of the people. You are the volunteer soMiers of an army which is proving irresistible. Our captain for the past four years has had our love and our confidence. By our votes he has won a commission for another term. No leader could have better served ids troops the people. And I know I voice your sentiment when I say that we pledge our loving devotion for the next four years to the chief of our own choice, William McKinley, - "May I express the hope that this will , be a pleasant convention for you each and all. And that while you rejoice in your 'glorious past and more fortunate present, .that you will give your attention more particularly to the problems of the future. Men die; leaders fall; - politicians perish; but the eternal principles upon which our party and our league are founded will endure forever. Let your eyes see these, and these alone. Then will you contribute to the eternal purpose. "The Lincoln League is named for one, whose name it would be sacrilege to use, were that league not animated by the highest purpose and noblest endeavor. It nas no mission but the common good. It seeK3 no office or reward. Its members give of their time and from their purse as a contribution to a holy cause, and we here and now Join in glorying the memory of hini for whom our league Is named the gentle, suffering, Christ-like man, Abraham Lincoln."

Attorney General Talks. The stirring words of Lieutenant Governor Gilbert were listened to with closest attention, and frequently applauded, while his glowing tribute to the memory of the . martyred President evoked much enthusiasm. Mr. Gilbert announced that he was obliged to yield the chair to Attorney General W. L. Taylor, owing to the demands of his position as presiding officer of the Senate. "Mr. Taylor will address you," said MrGert, "and he Is one of the best Speyers in Indiana." This compliment almost swept, the attorney general off his feet and so confused him that he could scarcely think how to begin his address. 3d r. Taylor ' referred to Lincoln's birth, ninety-two years ago, In an obscure Kentucky hollow, and to his humble parentage. He aroused great interest by recalling that forty 'years ago last night Mr. Lincoln passed through Indianapolis on his way to Washington to becomi President of the United States, and that he addressed the clt'zens of Indianapolis 'from the balcony of the Bates House on that occasion. Continuirg. the speaker said: "He was tne most human and yet the nearest divine of any mortal that has ever trod this earth since the Master walked and talked with men at Gethsemane. When Abraham Lincoln was on his way to Washington to assume the duties of l'resident of the Republic one-third of the people of this country were attempting to break away from their former ties and set up a government of their own. It was the calm, level spirit of this great man that did more than anything else to keep together in one cemented form the conscience of this country and heid our country, our blessed country, together, now never to be disunited. Abraham Lincoln is the most peculiar character in all history. He Is the most unaccountable man In history. He will live wnen the great of other countries shall have moldered Into dust. Why? Because he filled in the niche In the broken arch of our country as no other man could have or 7ould have done. Abraham Lincoln was the exponent aa no other man in all history has been of the rights of the common man. In all the tide of time, go where you will and look where you can, there i9 no man from Adam to now that Is the clear, unquestioned exponent of the common man 7EATHr forecast.

that Abraham. Lincoln represented himself to be and was. REPUBLICAN PARTY; RORN. "The Republican party was born and Lincoln was its exponent and Its spirit, and that spirit was the uplifting of the man that was friendless in this world, and from the days of Lincoln to the days of McKinley the Republican party has been the uplittlng party in this world's history. ICreat applause. It began as the friend cf the Elave. who had no other friend, and from the slave pen in South Carolina to tne trocha of the reconcentrado in Cuba the Republican party has always stood for the man that was friendless. It always will If it keeps in the track that Lincoln trod. Applause.) The Republican party started and started right. It taught the doctrine that where the American flag floats it shall be the banner of freedom and thu.t any man that ttands under its folds round this world shali stand safe. Great applause.) It has brought the new evangel around this world in its conquering march. That evangel Is the evangel of human rights end human liberties. This spirit that took the black man from the block in South Carolina was the spirit that was under the blue shirt of the American soldier wnen he marched up to the gates of Peking and planted the American stars and stripes the first of all flags in the world upon the battlements of that ancient capital, and it went there not In conquest, because It was the first flag to withdraw when they submitted to our arms. "My fellow-countrymen, as long as the Republican party stands by the truth that Abraham Lincoln taught and that millions sought and prayed for find the hundreds of thousands fought for and the tens of thousands died for, the Republican party's mission will not have ended. t is a glorious thing to-day that William McKinley is following, footstep by footstep, in the path laiu down by Lincoln in hi- immortal time. INDIANA KEEPS PACE. "In Indiana we have kept pace with the other forty-four States of the Union. Harmony Is in our ranks as it is throughout this great country of ours. There may be little differences to-day in slight policies or plans or purposes. There may be differences as to methods, but the great fundamental principle that Lincoln taught, of equal rights to men and liberty for all, Irrespective of race, color or previous conaition of servuuue, is to-day the fundamental principle upon which the Republican party goes to battle each time. There is in Indiana to-day neither faction nor fusion. There is a perfect union of all Republicans and with this spirit In all the States there is no reason why we ought not to and will succeed. I believe that the future of our splendid party Is as bright as It ever Was in all its history. We are not torn asunder anywhere upon any fundamental principles. We don't have to go to the dictionary to find how to differentiate between free coinage and free silver. We don't have to go to the uaps to And out where and what kind of -a speech to make. We make the same speech in Main? that we do in California. The cod nshernan on the coast of Maine can stand by the flag the same as the salmon fisherman In the waters of California, and the hunters of fur on the lakes can support the same ticket upon the same platform as the man that hunt the tarpon in the warm waters of Florida. No man nas to look at the map to make a Republican speech to sco what his latitude or longitude is. All piaces and all times are tne same to us. I can make the same Republican speech I'ere to-day and go to Manila or to Cuba or to Porto Rico and matte the same speech, advocating the same doctrine that i do here to-day. isot so with our opponents. Neither of-them know to-day what kind of a speech to make until they first take a map and' ascertain their latitude an-1 longitude. "My friends, thiols a preliminary meeting. The meeting proper will be to-morrow. There are others here whom I know you would like to hear. I made seventy of these sort of speeches in the campaign, i ought to be given a rest." Mr. Taylor's address was literally punctuated with applause and his humorous sallies at the "opposition" were greeted with hearty laughter. He suggested that a committee be appointed to draft a set of resolutions, but later this plan was abandoned and the matter left to the business meetIns this morning. M. L. CLAWSON HEARD. M. L. Clawson was called on for a speech vnd responded briefly, saying in conclusion: This Is Lincoln's birthday and it was that man who said that whether slavery was saved or slavery was destroyed with endless ruin, one thing inus: be done, and that was that the Union must be preserved. And so I say to-day that this imperialistic talk about our destroying the rights of liberty and freedom and despoiling the brownSkinned people of the warmer zones of the Eastern world is not the kind of talk that comes from the lips of statesmen. Lincoln's whole life, my friends, was wrapped up In the one thing, the honor of our flag and the maintenance of free institutions, and it should be the duty and under the guiding hand of that veteran soldier, William McKinley, surrounded by an able Cabinet, this thing will be done the Philippine insurgents will be reduced, their arms taken away, civil government established, the liberty of the press, the liberty of Tree speech and free education nnd uplifting on all lines In the far East will take place and the far Eastern colonies will some day be benefited and be glad of the benefit they have received at the hands of the unselfish American government." Without specifically advocating the shipsubsidy bill. Mr. Clawson spoce strongly in favor of the establishment of an American merchant marine, particularly on account of the immense trade that seems to be opening up in the far East. A STIRRING SONG. Mr. Taylor called on ex-State Senator Isaac II. Phares for one of his stirring songs, and Mr. Phares gave an excellent parody on "Ten Thousand Years," accompanied by a brief talk. When the speaker said: "The guaranty of the Republican party Is as good as gold, yea as 'much fine gold," he was cheered to the echo. Mr. Wingate, of Shelbyville, next offered a suggestion that was received with acclaim. This was that, in view of the event being in celebration of Lincoln's birthday, nothing could be more appropriate than that a representative colored man be called on for an address. He mentioned the name of Gurley Brewer, and cries of "Brewer, Brewer." came from all parts of the hall. Acting President Taylor said: "I have the honor of Introducing to you one of Lincoln's supporters, Mr. Gurley Brewer, a graduate of a university and a man whose parents were slaves." Mr. Brewer spoke eloquently and aroused much enthusiasm. Mr. Brewer's eloquent address was given a genuine ovation at its close. Mr. Taylor announced that ex-Governor W. S. Taylor, of Kentucky, who was to have been present and delivered an address, had been unavoidably detained, but that he would attend the banquet In the evening. Isaac Miller Hamilton, of Chicago, president of the National League of Republican Clubs, who. It was said, would attend the convention for the purpose of trying to induce tho Indiana Lincoln League to affiliate with the national organization, did not app?ar at the meeting yesterday afternoon. Just before adjournment. Acting President Taylor made some interesting remarks, inspired by Gurley Brewer's address and by the recent conviction of George M. Ray, of Shelbyville. After adjournment considerable time was spent in goodfellowshlp before the delegates separated to go to their hotels nnd make ready for the great event of the 'day, the banquet at the Columbia Club in the evening. Amonc; the prominent fac.s noUM in the hall were thoe of Nat U. Hill, of Bloomlngton: John Martin, postmaster of Scottsbur: Will H. Craig, of NoblesviUe; ex-Senator Phares. formerly of Fowler, now of Indianapolis; Robert A. Brown, clerk of the Supreme Court. THOSE IN ATTENDANCE.

It Wa neld at the Columbia ClubAttendance Not Large. Tho annual banquet of the Indiana State Lincoln League, held In the main dining hall of the new Columbia Club bulldlr.,1 lr.st night, was a success notwithstanding the fact that the attendance did not come up to- expectations." About eighty-five men sat down at the tables a few minutes after 9 o'clock to partake of an excellent menu. Music was furnished by Hart's orchestru. Col. Charles L. Jewett, of Now Albany, acted as toastmaster, and it was doubtless due to his efforts that tho banquet was. as he Jocularly sald. prolonged until 1 o'clock on nothing but ico water. "I am informed however," said he, "that this is not a usual thing at Republican banquets, tut that it was devised for this occasion to test the faith and endurance of tho new accessions to the ranks of the party." In Introducing the forma part of the exercises Colonel Jewett said: "In consideration of the comprehensive and splendid programme provided for to-night I shall do little else in Initiating the oratorical part cf tti3 service than to congratulate you upon the occasion of the lirst banquet of thlJ league In the capital of the State held in tMs beautiful home of one of tho club? which form the splendid organization known as the Lincoln League, and In addition to express the hope that in what shall follow, and be said here, we may realize the tremendous responsibility that rests upon all men who dare characterize their political purpose and uctions by asFuming the name of that man whose life fromits humble origin to its tragic end was at all times and under all circumstances, as all men :ee now, a moving tragedy, moving to its certain fulfillment and its certain triumph in the purpose for which that life in God's providence was raised up from the common people of this Republic. (Applause. Those who assume that honored name as at onco the badge and purpose and end of their political action, ought indeed to oe possessed in some measure of the splendid patriotism and the unsehish sclf-denlal of the great man whoso name you bear Abraham Lincoln and lo his name- and memory we may now fcrtunately turn to our eloquent friend from Kokomc and ask that Hon. C. C. Shirley respond to the toast 'Abraham Lincoln. " MR. SHIRLEY'S REMARKS. Mr. Shirley's response was in the nature of a review of the conditions that made Llrfcoln the great man he was and a tribute to his greatness. Including a recital of the elements which composed It. He said In part: "He was honest. In that attribute he was not unlike many other men. But he was honest with himself, and therein he was different from most other men. Vhoover is able to resist at all times üic temptation to be self-deceived possesses the rarest Jewel In human character. Lincoln possessed this priceless gem. He could not be made to believe that a thing was right because It seemed expedient. He never made a virtue of what would promote hH personal or political fortune. Nothing was more remarkable in Lincoln's personality than his aggressive honesty unless it was his sublime simplicity, and his simplicity was really a part of his honesty. No man ever climbed from such dismal .social depths to such dazzling heights,' so little disturbed by the transition. It was because he was better poised than any other character in history. It is especially appropriate that tho organization which bears Lincoln's name and maintains principles for which he battled should celebrate his virtues and guard his memory. His memory is freedom's most treasured heritage. Only the fixed stars can equal the enduring luster of his name." Toastmaster Jewett expressed his regret' that Isaac Miller Hamilton, the president of the National League of Republican Clubs, was confined to his home in Chicago by illness, and could not bo present to respond to the toast, "The National Republican League." In the place of Mr. Hamilton he called upon Attorney General Taylor to speak. Mr. Taylor said that, In view of the short notice which had been given him, he could not, of course, be expected to make a new or elaborate speech, and he therefore contented himself with paying an eloquent tribute to the memory of Lincoln, in which he followed the lines of his address at the opening session of the leaguo convention yesterday afternoon. SL'NATOR CRUMBAKER TALKS. Tho next response was by Senator Samuel C:umbaker, of Evans vllle, to the toast, "Young Men and the Republican Party.' Mr. Crumbaker said In part: "The young man of to-day may well believe in the Republican party, because he can plainly see that the - great principles which It enunciated In Its platforms of the past, have one by one become laws of our land. Those law3 have come down to cur people as mighty benefactors, crowning its millions with greater prosperity nnd happiness and sweeping the Republic forward to splendor and to power. The people are convinced, turthermore, of its merit, because they realize that enveloped in and circumscribed by Its principles at this hour can be clearly seen our country's ligrhest development and most superb progress. That out of its principles enacted Ipto laws even in the last four years, are certain to come tho greatest gains to tne n asses of cur people, the greatest comforts to cur countrymen at large, the widest encouragement for high and manly tspiratlons, with the best rewards continually flowing Into the laps of the America! workingmen. And wo confidently belleva t.'iat upon the placing of such laws upon our statute booiis as it now advocates, In conjunction with those already there to IU credit, depends unequivocally our country's future greatness, grandeur, glory and renown among the nations of tho world." JUDGE FORKNER HEARD. Judge M. E. Forkner, of New Castle, spoke to the subject, "Indiana's Contribution to Republican National Politics," in part as follows: "We have contributed men without number. I ask you, my friends, where is tlnre a public character in all the history of tho United States that will not stand abashed in the presence of the colcssal figure cf Oliver 1. Morton? Whoever ruled the Congress of the United States as a Republican Congress and dictated its polities among the most stormy period of our history with a pentler hand, with a more intelligent judgment, and a kindlier Siiile than Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana? What State has been more promlently represented In the United States Senate than Indiana? What State ha3 sent a better class of representatives than Indiana in the past, Albert G. Porter, Godlove S. Orth. George W. Julian In hl3 purity laughter and many others that 1 miht name? And last but not least, who in all the history of this country has ever given the country a purer, a better, a more enlightened condition of public affairs than l'resident Harrison? (Great applause. Whether or not he may be in accord with what every other Republican believes at this present time, he has a rlgh: to it and he Is to be loved, he is to be revered, he is to bo honored by the people of Indiana for what he has done his political life being finished. Applause. 1 Political organization is right. It is a necessity, but it must be kept in tho sphere of doing party work after nominations are pic.de. and whenever it undertakes to take its part In the nominating conventions th'm we, as Republicans, do not want It. for thj reason that it may not select the best men for the places. Applause. Tho safest and best guide for Republicans, the safest and best guide for any party. Is the whole people left unbiased and to themselves to relict thtir candidate for office without dictation from any man." Applause. C. W. MILLER. OF GOSHEN. TWc next speaker was Charles W. Miller, of Goshen, who responded to the toast. "Tho Mission of the Republican Party at tho Threshold of the Twentieth Century." Mr. Miller eaJJ in part: "We must continue to conduct the mightiest commerce of history with the best money known to man. We must con-

tinue to maintain the gold standard. We will never indorse the pauper money of Mexico, China and the Chicago and Kansas City conventions. "We are In favor of an American Nicaragua canal to be built upon our own plan with our own money for our own welfare and protection, to be constructed wholly by the United States and controlled by our country in peace and In war. "The mission of the Republican party is to pursue the policy of peace and never to halt in the busy march of industry. We must bo a party of broad principles, fully advocating human liberty, opposing sectional, race and class spirit. Our party must be the protector of labor and capital. We must cultivate a sense of international justice, and In order to maintain our commercial supremacy we must continue to hold the world's respect. Our institutions are not in peril from abroad, and it Is for us to see that they are secure from within. Our sense of justice must , keep pace with cur expanding powr, and we must never tail to observe the just principles of 'fraternity and equality.' "Surely standing at the threshold we have the right to rejoice in our good fortune. Let us therefore rejoiee that the glorious banner of Industrial independence and progress is to-day, at this very hour, proudly waving from the masthead of our grand old ship of state, guided by the genius of the Republican party, where it will remain, let us hope, so long as that party is loyal and true to the glory of our country at home and abroad."

MR. MARSH, OF GREENFIELD. The last speaker on the regular programme who was present was Ephraim Marsh, of Greenfield, who responded to the toast, "The Republican Tarty the Safeguard of American Institutions." Mr. Marth said in part: "It is true the Republican party is now confronting grave problems the colonial question and government of recently acquired territory but it will solve them as it has all other questions, and when it has done so the American people will applaud and sustain its action, and, whatever it may be, whether the Constitution follows the flag or whether they go together, or otherwise, it will be to the best interests of American institutions and the whole people." In introducing: Mr. Marsh Toastmaster Jewett thought to have a little fun with the speaker by recalling: that in 1SSS Mr. Marsh was secretary of the Democratic state central committee. Mr. Jewett added that Mr. Marsh's Republicanism must be sound because it was of such full growth. In tho outset of his address Mr. Marsh turned the toastmaster's Jest back upon him by ßtatlng that in 1SSS Colonel Jewett was chairman of the Democratic state central committee, a remark which evoked the heartiest burst of merriment of the entire evening. ' In concluding the exercises Colonel Jewett announced that inasmuch as the last speaker, the Rev. J. Cumming Smith, could not be present and respond to the toast, "Ideal Citizenship in Our Republic." he would call upon ex-Governor W. S. Taylor to make a few remarks. Mr. Taylor had rot anticipated that h3 was to bo called on for a speech, but with characteristic readiness delivered an eloquent eulogy upon the life and services of Abraham Lincoln. . OBSERVANCE WAS GENERAL. Lincoln Celebrations Throughout the North Banquets in the Evening:. The ninety-second anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birthday was generally observed throughout the country yesterday with appropriate ceremonies. At most of the public schools and colleges a formal programme was carried out. Boards of trade, stock and other exchanges, banks, courts and public institutions were closed. In some cities the G. A. R. posts held speAt the dinner of the Republican Club, of East Orange. X. J., last night. Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith spoke on "Abraham Lincoln," and Congressman Charles B. Landis, of Indiana, responded to the toast. "The Republic of To-day."

Brackett presided at the Middlesex Club banquet in Boston. The guests and speakers were Joseph Quarles, United States senator from Wisconsin: H. E. Burnham, United States senator-elect from New Hampshire; C. F. Warwick, of Philadelphia: Hon. J. 11 Höge, of Virginia, and Hon. D. J. Foster, of Vermont. Congressman Chester I.'

Sargent, grandmaster of the Broth-, erhood of Locomotive Firemen, was toastmaster at the Peoria Kickapoo Club banquet, and addresses were delivered by Governor Yates and others. At Chicapo nearly sixty pupils of the senior grades at the North Division. High School, incensed because Principal Westcott would allow no holiday or hold Lincoln-day exercises in the school, refused to attond their classes this morning and, with a brass band playing popular airs, endeavored to get the rest of the students to join them. They were unsuccessful, but obeyed the order of Principal Westcott to leave the grounds. Ohio Republican League. CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 12. The Ohio Republican League met here to-day. President Morrow briefly reviewed the work of the organization during the past year, saying that nearly 1,300 Republican clubs were organized In the State during the late presidential campaign. The resolutions adopted by the convention warmly indorse the administration of President McKinley and the policy of the Republican representatives In the Senate and House. Senators Foraker and HVnna are praised for their "splendid statesmanship and patriotism." "Senator Koraker," the resolutions declare, "is already nominated in tha hearts of the Republicans of Ohio for re election to the United States Senate." Tho administration of Governor Nash is commended, and the resolutions pledge the league to assist in securing his renomlnatlon and election. GRAVE AS EVER.

( CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) presentment, received the support and approval of nearly one-half of the voters in this country. That such a party, with such a leader and with just simplicity enough to confuse. Just sincerity enough to pretend, and just truth enough to deceive, could thus be sanctioned by so large a proportion of the American people almost passed belief. "The poor, the disconcerted and distressed can safely leave their cause In thö hands of those who would endeavor at least to determine it according to the principles of Abraham Lincoln, he, who worked unselfishly for selfish men and in whose large heart, with its large bounty, wrechedness found a solacement, and they that were wandering in darkness, the light as of a home, he who stands in crowned sovereignty, the simplest, gentlest and noblest of men. "The birth of George Washington was the sign of American freedom. The death of Abraham Lincoln was its consummation. When Washington died, part only was free. When Lincoln died, there was no slave. The same spirit of civil liberty t.'iat animated Washington In his struggle to make this land free, and Lincoln to make every man free, Is to-day moving over ihe waters of our governmental lite. It recognizes no limitations and has no frontiers. It will move s easily and as surely over an ocean as It has over state, treaty and boundry lines." SENATOR II ANNA'S ADDRESS. Senator Hanna was introduced as the next speaker. He received a tremendous ovation as he arose to respond to the toast. "The Business Man in Politics." He said In part: "Politics is a business, and very serious business at that. As for me, in tho discharge of the duties to which of late I have been called I have noted with pride and pleasure the ready response of the business man to any appeal to him on behalf of the needs of his country. We had a great example of that at the close of the last campaign, when those thousands of business men of the metropolis stood for principle. I am here to thank you for what you did then. Upon you must largely depend whether the great principles for which Lincoln stood and for which we Etand shall perpetuate the foundation of our government and its policy. . "The influence of the business man In politics is more far reaching than one would at first imagine. We do not wish to arraign class against class. The great mass of workingmen who are the employes of capital-and. therefore, the partners of capital, wield a great influence either for good or evil, as they are' made to see things. It is the duty of the business men of America to show that great class the most powerful because of its numbers that we do not discriminate between classes, but that we have their welfare at heart. Then wo have no fear, when It comes to an issue between Republicanism and Socialism." Whltelaw Reld, Senator Depew and others spoke. Minister Wu's Tribute. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The Union League Club of Brooklyn this evening held Its annual Lincoln dinner. The principal guest was Minister Wu Tlngfang. In his address Mr. Wu spoke In part as follows: "America has won two great victories for freedom, one resulting in the independence of the United States, the other In the emancipation of the negroes. The central figure of the first was Washington, the moving spirit of the second was Lincoln. It may be doubted by some whether on an occasion like this it is proper -for a represenative of a foreign nation to Join in a celebration, but I do not look upon Lincoln as belonging to America alone. The world claims him as a bentfatcor of mankind, and his noble deeds as the achievements of the human race. By the world he will ever be known and honored as the vindicator of human rights, who, by a stroke of the pen, carried into effect the fundamental principles of government that all men are created equal."

Many ladies were noticed among those at th tables. The bill of fare was not elaborate. There were no cigars and no beverages stronger than coffee. The feature of the evening was the demonstration in honor of Mr. Bryan. He was received with loud applause when he entered the hall, but the crowd fairly went wild when Mr. Bryan was introduced ta speak. Men climbed upon chairs and cheered again and again, and it was soms minutes before the demonstration subsided. Congressman John J. Lentz. as toastmas. ter. introduced Mr. Bry an. "The last time," said Mr. Lentz, "I had the pleasure of introducing Mr. Bryan to you, I Introduced him as the next President of the United States. I again Introduce him to you as I did then." Mr. Bryan's address was an apotheosis of Jefferson with his own (Bryan's) views cunningly interwoven. In concluding, he said: "At this time, when corporate monopoly is fast extinguishing industrial importance, we need a revival of the Jeffersonlan spirit which demands a government administered according to the doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none. At this time when commercialism is searing the conscience of the Nation;" when ths worship of mammon is leading the people to ignore inalienable rights; when th Ideals bought with blood and sacrifice ar about to' be bartered away for the speciou and delusive promises of empire at thli time. I repeat, we need to have our faith in man as man and our love for man as brother rekindled by the memory of thli mighty patriot, philosopher and Democratwhose brain comprehended the height anc depth and breadth of fovernment nnd whose heart embraced the human race."

Thursday afternoon with Managers Brady, Madden and others and postponing Jhe aate for the contest for two or three weeks co as to give time for the case to be carried to the court of last resort. Meantime there is much comment over the active preparations of Governor Nash In having two or three regiments of mll'.tia awaiting orders to proceed to Cincinnati. It Is claimed that he will u?e the military to enforce the injunction of Judge Holllster. The promoters say they would in no event attempt to pull off the event if an injunction should be issued against them. They would then appeal the case and postpone the contest so as to give ample time for carrying the case up to the higher courts. If Judge Holllster should grent an Injunction against the prize fight and not against such a boxing contest as that for which Mayor Flelschman has issued his permit then it is quite probable that the promoters will go ahead under their original claim that they propose to give a boxing contest that comes within the laws of Ohio and not such a prize fight as would violate the Ohio laws. In that event it is expected by many that Governor Nash would Interfere pnd that there might be serious complications. A similar situation would enEue in the event that Judge Holllster, who sits in a court of equity, should hold that he had no Jurisdiction in a case of a criminal nature such as it Is claimed that a prize fight represents. While there is much speculation as to the decree of the court the consensus of opinion is that Jude Holllster will a?f?ume Jurisdiction and grant a permanent Injunction. This will mean such a postponement as will give time for hearings in tho Circuit and the Supreme courts. No radical move is expected on any tide now until after Judge Holllster renders his decision at noon on Thursday. Meantime it is evident here that the prosecuting attorney and the sheriff are active in preparing to carry out the orders of the Governor. While the hearing before Judge Holllster closed last night In ample time for Attorney General Sheets to return to Columbus, he did not return until to-nlßht and was in consultation during the day with county Officials as well as with his associate, counsel In the application for an injunction. There was the usual activity to-day around the training quarters of Jeffries, Ruhlln, Martin and Childs. The number cf visitors is Increasing dally, but only a few of them come in contact with the contestants. There Is quite an aggregation at each place and enough to hold visitors at bay. Brady, Cooke, Madden and others are kept bu?y with the arrangements In the city, and they seem confluent that the decision of Judge Holilster will be against the Injunction and that they will pull off that event in schedule time. Tho members of th company that will support Jeffries on the road arrived from New York and proceedwith their rehearsals. If the content is not postponed next Friday night, this company will appear with Jeffries at Columbus on Saturday night and be here next week. Ruhlln is scheduled to ypar with Martin at Marietta next Saturday night and ulsc be on the road next week and thereafter.
