Within th$ last ten days a man pretending to be a'i agent for this paper has obtained money from friends of the Journal by fraud. C1 the 15th of the month he was at Bluffton, where he gave his name as O. .-. . Bell. A few days previous he was at Valparaiso, under the name of Hill. His plan is to g've the victim an order on the Journal for an amount of money to be charged to his expense account. He is a scoundrel, ' course, and ought to be arr. .-ti ! on si ht. Any man yho asks for credit of any sort, r presenting! that he is a traveling agent for the Joij-nal, may be set down as a fraud. Our traveling men all carry credentials, in 'hich it .s stated that no credit will be astf-d. They are supplied with enough mor.py for their wants direct from this office. One week . from to-day. Nov. 4, will be election day No Republican should disfranchise hinself by forgetting it. - Can anyot,. remember that the Chicago & Alton or ;-riy other railroad company advanced the vages of all 1U shopmen under the Democratic regime from 1893 to 1857? The taxpayer and all who believe in the tusinesslik ' management of state affairs hould not frrrget that it came with Republican Legist 'ures and executives, and will remain so Jnig as they control the affairs of the Stat I It Is the i 'emocratic New York World which says after a review of the field, that "report do not give much promise for a chan - In the control of the next House."

In several States there are complaints of the bad treatment of inmates of pub lic Institutions. Doubtless some of them are inspired by partisan considerations, but under the ixlel nonpartisan management of the affal of Indiana no such partisan charges carrbe made, became both parties are represented on the boards of the State's inst' utions, and they are managed on a buaime-s basis. f General Ojrbln made a good point when he said: "ne German army is the best In the world, but there is a difference between thf best army and the best soldiers. It es without saying that the American soldier is the best." In respect of organic ; ion, discipline and drill the German ariyy is doubtiess the best in the world, but irtnilitary authorities all agree that in in, idual qualities the American soldier ex A The recen' decision of King Oscar in the Samoan caH$ is not received with favor in diplomatic jircles abroad. A Paris cablegram says "t hat the principle of the decision. nairiy. that a nation is not justifled in cas of absolute necessity in disembarking military force in an uncivilised county to protect the lives and property of its 'own citizens, would never be accepted as a precedent of International law by the...

Fuffragists of which Mrs. Stanton was once chief, but to her and her associates is dne the honor that belongs to pioneers In a just but unpopular cause. Mrs. Stanton was a woman of courage and stron 3 character, and her memory should be che -ished by her countrywomen. O.VE WEEK MOKE. One week from to-day will be the day of election. In that week the men who believe in Republican principles can make a gratifying Republican victory certain If they will put forth the proper effort during the period between this date and the closing of the polls. There la no doubt that Republican committees are doing their full duty, but during the closing days of the campaign there is a great amount of work that should be done to insure a full vote which committees cannot do. That work must be done by the earnest Republicans In every neighborhood In the county and in every block in the city. Such Republicans can see every Republican in their vicinity, or see that others do so, and get a promise from them to go to the polls. The danger of the Republican party is in

the satisfaction and over-confidence of Re publicans. Many Republicans are victims of the fatal delusion that Indiana will go KepuDitcan anyway, and therefore it win . be time and energy wasted to put forth a strenuous effort to get out a full vote. There is danger that hundreds of Republicans who are loyal to their party will persuade themselves that there will be Republican votes enough If they do not vote. Do such Republicans realise that a net Democratic gain of eight votes in each of the 3,000 precincts In the State would give the Democrats the State? Will the cocksure Republican take that fact into careful consideration? Many Republicans are pleasing themselves with the idea that large numbers of Democrats will not vote this year. There can be no more fatal delusion. Generally, whatever else the Indiana Democrat may say or do, he has the habit of going to the polls with great regularity. Statements are made that In this and that locality Bryan Democrats have secretly banded together not to go to the polls or not to vote the state ticket. It is hoped that some of these reports are true, but they are misled Republicans who count on any brand of Democrats winning a Republican victory by not voting. The prudent and safe policy is to proceed on the assumption that every Democratic voter in Indiana will vote this year. If there shall be a full Republican vote the Republicans will not need any outside assistance to carry the State by 30,000 plurality. Even the independent New York Herald's estimate is a Republican plurality of 18.000. There are said to be Republicans who give their party and its policy the credit for the last five years of unexampled prosperity who are excusing themselves from voting because they have so much to do that they cannot lose a day to vote. There are the active Republicans whose business takes them away from home the men who have done so much missionary work in the last two Presidential campaigns. If their business is rushing because of Republican ascendancy, is it not worth their while to take a day or two to make the extension of good times measurably certain? Or have they become weary and yearn for a repetition of the years 1894. 1895 and 1896? The Journal has just the same interest in a Republican victory that all Republicans who are the rank and file of the party have, and no more. More than ever it is impressed with the absolute importance of the wisdom of Republican principles and policies. Republican triumph at the polls this year is, in the Journal's judgment, as essential to the positive well-being of the country as it was in 1896 and 1900. So convinced, it most earnestly appeals to every voter who believes in Republican ideas to put forth an effort to win an emphatic Republican victory one week from to-day, Nov. 4. A WORD TO THE FIRST VOTER. Two years ago 664,0Jr4 votes were polled for President in Indiana. If one per cent of those qualified to vote did not vote, the total number of voters in the State in November, 1900, was not far from 670,000 more rather than less. Assuming that the annual increase of males qualified to vote Is one per cent., which is a low estimate, the number of persons in Indiana qualified by law to vote is not far from 685,000. Assume, again, that two of every one hundred voters in Indiana were not old enough to vote two years ago, and there are now 13,700 first voters in the State. There is reason to believe that the number is much larger, but, assuming that it is 13,700, the first voters, if they should all vote for one party, could have carried the State in every election during the last twenty-five years with the exception of that of 1894. It appears from the foregoing figures that the first voter Ls a very important element In every general election. If he could organize himself throughout the State and vote for one party he would be a controlling element. Since 1894 there is reason to believe that a large majority of the new voters have voted with the Republicans. It is in the nature of things that it should be so, since the Democratic party has done nothing to commend itself to the support of Intelligent young men. Indeed, the leaders of that party in this State have confessed that it was unwise to make free coinage of silver the leading issue in 189. The party which demanded the pulling down of the American flag in the Philippines in 1900 in face of the defiant Filipinos Is not a party to commend Itself to young Americans. The party leaders in Washington who started out at the beginning of this yaar with a purpose to put a brand of fiendish cruelty upon American soldiers in the Philippines do not represent a party that will be approved by the brothers and former associates of the slandered soldiers. The party whose leaders in Indiana silently repudiated the national platform which they helped to make two years earlier, and which they de clared to be true Democratic principles during the campaign of 1900, cannot be the leaders to Inspire the confidence and enthusiasm of the young and intelligent voter. "I inherited my politics," said an intelligent man past middle life, a few days ago. The statement was made in a tone of half apology. Reverence and regard are qualities to be respected when the object upon which they are bestowed is a worthy one, but names and traditions once worthy of honor often change with passing years and cease to be entitled to respect. "Here is a knife that my grandfather gave me many years ago." a man once said as he presented the dilapidated article; "it was

goad stuff then, but I have had two sets of blades for It since, and the outsldes of the handle had to be made new long .go; the back-spring is the same, but it is no longer any good as a knife; but, useless as it is. I shall never have another knife in my pocket." He could not see that the useless old knife was not that which had been given him years before. So it may be said of Democracy. That which the grandfather held to in the days of Jackson Is not the Democracy of to-day. Indeed, the Democracy of 1892 was not the Democracy of 1896 and 1900, and no one is rash enough to predict what theories will bear the Democratic brand In' 1904. In fact, since 1856 the history of the Democratic party is a graveyard of heresies which the party has once proclaimed and subsequently disavowed. A party with such a history, and without a positive principle upon which it can unite, without a ieader who has been connected with it for twenty-five years who is acceptable to half its prominent men, is not the party with which the Intelligent first voter, who is the heir to the greatness and the opportunities of the American Republic, can conscientiously ally himself.

The party wnich has had a long line of great leaders and statesmen, Including rh nampa as Lincoln. Grant. Garfield. Harrison, Sherman, Morton, Blaine and McKinley, and having such a leader to-day as Roosevelt, is the party with which the "first voter" should ally himself by voting the Republican ticket a week from to-day. Flee from the political graveyard! It is no place for the young man whose face glows in the light of the future. Join the party whose past record is the story of the achievements of this Nation for forty years and is to-day the party of progress. Enlist under the leadership of the Roosevelts and escape such leadership as the Hills and the Tom L. Johnsons are quarreling to obtain over the Democratic party. SENATOR FAIRBANKS. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer informs the people of Indiana that the Democratic fight in this State ls confined chiefly to an effort to secure a majority in the next Legislature, to the end that a Democrat may succeed Senator Charles W. Fairbanks. Whether this report is true or not, the Journal has no information. It is not familiar with gumshoe tactics. But, regarding the substitution of Mr. Fairbanks by any Democrat that could be named, there is every reason to believe that a large majority of the men who are Interested in the business and industrial affairs of the State are opposed to it. Mr. Fairbanks has been a senator for the whole State. He has the confidence of prominent Democrats in business as well as that of the entire RepubUcan party. All know that he has attained a foremost place In the Senate and in Republican councils. Every Indianian knows that In his capacity as senator he is as faithful in attending to the requests of Democrats as Republicans. The attitude he has assumed in regard to the demands of labor can but please that Important element. Indeed, no roan in politics, except Senator Hanna, has treated the labor question so ably and broadly as did Senator Fairbanks in his Labor day address in Kansas City. There can be no danger about the reelection of Senator Fairbanks by the next Legislature if every Republican and other voter desiring his re-election will vote for the Republican candidates for senators and representatives. It Ls frequently the case that voters are induced by personal appeals or friendliness to Democratic candidates for the Legislature to vote for them. Too often personal dislike or prejudice leads Republicans to vote for Democratic candidates even when they are not so worthy men. There are several representative districts so close that a hundred or two hundred votes will determine the result. No man who desires the re-election of Senator Fairbanks can consistently vote for a Democratic candidate for senator or representative next Tuesday. Therefore all earnest Republicans in every legislative district must cause it to be understood that a vote for the local legislative ticket ls a vote for Charles W. Fairbanks. The Democratic press bureau, under the direction of the Democratic state committee, has sent out to the Democratic papers as plate matter an attack upon Mr. Fassett A. Cotton, the Republican candidate for superintendent of public instruction. The charge is that Mr. Cotton, while the deputy in that office under Mr. Geetlng. entered into a contract with a firm of Schoolbook publishers to perform for $2.000 a service which would have been improper; that the company advanced him $1,000, for which he gave his note, and that, being unable to carry out his part of the contract, the company demanded that Mr. Cotton refund the money, and, being unable to do so, he was compelled to call upon Superintendent Geeting to come to his relief. Mr. Geetlng, who is now superintendent of schools in Greensburg, has written a letter to Chairman O'Brien, of the Democratic state committee. In which he absolutely refutes the charge and asks for his refutation the same publicity that was given to the false statement. Professor Geetlng has since declared the charge to be utterly groundless. Mr. Cotton is known In this city as a man of unblemished character. He enjoys the confidence of all those who had business or official relations with him during the years he was deputy under State Superintendents Geetlng and Jones. It Is outrageous that such a false charge should be sent out under the sanction of the Democratic state committee to injure a worthy and deserving man. A few days ago the Journal alluded to ex-Judge Edgar A. Brown as the Democratic candidate for Circuit judge In this county. It appears that Judge Brown is one of the Democratic candidates for Superior Judge. This does not. however, affect the suggestion of the Journal at that time to the effect that any Republican should put himself to the trouble to put the X before the name of every candidate on the Republican county ticket in order that he may gratify Judge Brown by putting the X before his name on the Democratic ticket. Each of the Republican candidates has made a good record as judge, which should be sufficient reason for giving them their support. The Democratic friends of ex-Mayor Sullivan are urging Republicans to vote for him for Circuit judge in preference to Judge Allen. When did any one of these voluntary advisers of Republicans vote any other than the straight Democratic tickst? Judge Allen has mads a most creditable record. Such being the case, why should Republicans

vote for a Democrat m preference to Judge Allen ?

The London correspondent of the New York Tribune quotes some witty sayings of Englishmen. One credited to Lord Rosebery is that "there are only two supremely , happy days In a premier's life the day he ( receives the seals of office from his sov- j ereign and that on which he surrenders them Into his royal master's hands." Speaking of the everlasting Irish trouble, the late Lord Morris is reported as saying ! that "it was all due to the fact that a stupid, but honest, race was trying to gov em a quick-witted, but dishonest one." Russia's recent coup in Manchuria recalls !L ? T ttribute1 10 Palmerston that Russia always had two strings to j her bow-the moderate language and disinerested professions at St Petersburg and London and active aggaession by her agents ; on the scene of operations." Finally, and perhaps the best of all. is what one of the London papers said a few days ago of Lord Cranborne: "He is a striking example of the success that follows the exercise of care and discernment in the choice of a father. If he had not so wisely selected Lord Salisbury it is absolutely certain that he would not be under secretary to-day. It is even doubtful whether he would be a member of Parliament at all." Professor Koch has furnished some additional texts for scientific discussion by declaring in a public address at Berlin that boiling does not exterminate tubercular bacilli; that sterilizing milk impairs Jts quality; that butter infected with tubercular bacilli ls not followed by infection, and that milk from a tuberculous cow is practically harmless. If these are scientific truths the lay public would rather not know them. THE HUMORISTS. Transferred.

Indicted for aiding in the concealment of a corpse, that of Moore, "stolen for the purpose of sale to a medical college for purposes of dissection." James Harvey and Cassius Willis, respectively embalmer and undertaker, are Indicted for selling without the permlsslrn of the nearest kin of the deceased or without due process of law. to some medical college, the body of Dora Snowden, and later assiting in the concealment of it. Spiers, the Mount Jackson cemetery owner, is indicted on two counts for stealing and concealing this body, which was supposed to have been buried In that cemetery. Adam Ault, one of the sextons of the cemetery, ls indicted for the stealing and disposition of the body of Adllne Best to a medical college. The seven negroes, who are confined in the county jail, were arraigned before Judge Alford in the Criminal Court yesterday morning, and each of them, Burford Cooley, Walter Daniels, Sol Grady, William Jones, Rufus Cantrell, Sam Martin and Isom Donnell, pleaded not guilty to the indictments. William Jones and Isom Donnell are charged in two specific cases, and the others In but one. All of them, brought Into court by a deputy sheriff, and handcuffed, answered to the call for a plea through their attorneys when their names were called, with the exception of Cantrell, who said he did not want to plead at that time, but the clerk of the court, as is usual in such procedure, entered a plea of not guilty. The ghouls were represented by Cass Connoway and Attorney Henderson, and were taken back to the jail after their arraignment. Judge Alford fixed the bonds of all of them at $1,000 in each case, with the exception of Donnell and Jones, which were placed at 1600 in each of their cases. DISPOSITION OF OTHER CASES. Of the other persons indicted none of them will be arraigned until the day of their trial, which will come up as soon as the court can get to them. The date set for the first of the trials is Nov. 17. wh n Dr. Alexander will be tried. After the d -position of his case the others will tie taken up. In Dr. Alexander's case 11.000 has been voted for his defense by the faculty of the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons, of which he ls the demonstrator. It is said that more than $500 has already been expended by this school in the search for evidence which will counteract that obtained by the State in the grand jury investigation. When the case is called lt ls expected by the persons familiar with the cases that an application for a change of venue will be filed before Judge Alford in a petition in which lt will be alleged that the publicity given the investigation and the feeling of the residents of the county against the ghouls will Influence any jury that might be secured to try the case. The grand jury will now take up the cases of the men in the county jail on the regular term's business. After the disposition of the numerous larceny and other cases the jury will go back to the ghoul cases, and from what ls said by the detectives and persons who have kept in touch with the investigation, the jury has only begun its work, and will, before it has finished, return indictments against many other persons. No indictment was returned against Garfield Buckner, a negro now in the county jail with Cantrell and the others. No evidence against him conclusive enough to establish a case was submitted to the jury, but Buckner will be bald as a witness and may be Indicted in the second report of the jury. The grand jury did not return an indictment against Dr. D. E. Brets. who was at one time demonstrator of the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons, and who was accused of the concealment of the body of John Sargent. The body of Sargent was removed from the college building by Deputy Constable Harvey Houston on an order from Dr. Brets, and not being found when a search for lt was made, Dr. Brets' s name was connected with Its disappearance. Houston appeared before the grand Jury in defense of Brets.

CROWD AT HAUGHV1LLE (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) through and through, and that is the kind of business sense any man ought to see through at once. ISSUE THAT FAILED. 'The Democratic party has attempted to lug in the coal strike as an Issue. Did you ever notice anything peculiar about strikes? Did you ever notice that labor strikes in Republican times and capital In Dom tin times That labor Strikes

fop hIgher wages and gets them and tnat capital locks out for lower wages, and gets them? When two men are hunting one job capital has a picnic; when two Jobs are hunting one man, as they usually are in Republlcan tlmes lt ls labor that enJoyB the Q ty sned croco. coa, Jm was in progress; but it shed real tears when it was ended. A party in power must necessarily bear the blame for conditions existing and they expected to have a lot to lay up against us. But the Republican party has met every emergency It has had to face with courage and wisdom, and it has solved problems instead of dodging them, lt has always had the right man at the right time in the right place, and the time of the anthracite strike was no exception, for Theodore Roosevelt was there to meet the situation. He grasped that problem and faced the situation unflinchingly. Everybody knew as soon as he tok hold of the question that he meant business and not 'bunkum.' Everybody knew t hat he was not trying to Inflame one set of men against another or to gain some political advantage out of the peril of the people. He tackled it and he solved it. and that is the way the Republican party does things. When the Republican party tackles the trusts you need have no alarm. It will mean business and not 'bunkum.' When the Democratic party tackles it. if it ever gets the chance, it will be 'bunkum.' and not business. The leader of the Democrats In the House opposed the federal law against trusts on the ground that: 'Trusts would then be taken out of politics, and that would never do!' If a Democrat has not something about which to cry 'octopus,' and 'oppressor,' and 'robber,' and 'plutocrat' he is lost. "I have a great deal of respect for the Democratic party, and I have a great deal of respect for a mule. A mule makes as much noise as any known animal and accomplishes the most with the other end. The Democratic party is a part of kickers, and any fool can tear down what lt has taken years to build up." Continuing for some minutes longer, Mr. Tayler talked with the same vigor and force, bringing his points straight home in a way that could not be disregarded. At the conclusion of his speech he was given applause that amounted to an ovation. A feature of the meeting was the singing of "Cy" Clark's Colored Quartet, which made the hall ring with coon songs. THREE GOOD SPEECHES Made by Messrs. Overstreet, Tarkington and Martindale. Instead of an outdoor meeting being held at the corner of Fletcher avenue and Shelby street last evening a shoeshop, occupying a. large room near the corner, was utilized for the Republican meeting. The room was crowded and many were forced to stand on the sidewalk in order to hear the speeches. J. W. Fesler presided as chairman and speeches were made by Charles Martindale, Newton Booth Tarkington and Hon. Jesse Overstreet. Mr. Tarkington and Mr. Overstreet were late in arriving, but the time was well occupied by Mr. Martindale, who spoke at some length on the record of the Republican party. "Our chairman has alluded to the Democrats as making a gum shoe campaign," said Mr. Martindale. "if it is that sort it is because the Democrats between the years of 1892 and 1896 got used to having gum shoes. When one looks at the situation it is difficult to find out what is the issue in this campaign or if lt isn't merely a struggle on the part of the Democrats to get In and put someone out of power. Were there ever such times as we are having now? A time when everybody who desires work can get work at fair wages. There is no discontent. If the Democrats say 'Let us in so as to revise the tariff' what should the answer be?" SOUP HOUSE ERA. Some one in the crowd immediately answered "soup houses." "It was a great surprise, when, in J892, in the midst of prosperous times an appeal was made to depart from the policy of protection and take up the policy of tariff for revenue only," continued Mr. Martindale. "After the election in the fall of that year the people woke up the next morning to ti ul that Benjamin Harrison had been de feated and Cleveland elected. The people realized their mistake, however, and in 1S96 showed they were tired of Democratic mistakes and elected William McKinley. The policy of the Democratic party seems to be opposition for the sake of opposition. The Republicans have stood for stability of government and have always devised plans for the upbuilding of this country. The Republican party has been a friend to the wage earner and has stood stalwart and steadfast for protection that shoüld aid him. We can't depart from our policies without loweringxthe standard of American manhood. When it comes to a revision of protective tariff, who shall revise it, its friends or its enemies? 1 say Its friends. "In 1896 came the election of William McKinley, and then came the Dlngley tariff law. It has done its perfect work in this country. Under the Dlngley law this country has achieved a prosperity it never enjoyed before. Some people say there are not very large crowds at political gatherings this fall. D iring Democratic control it was no trouble to get a crowd at a poj litlcal speech, because men were not busy and had nothing to do but listen to political speeches. Now the workingman hasn't time. He realizes that he wants no change in conditions. He has made up his mind that he will vote for Overstreet for Congress and continue prosperous times. He wants nothing to do with this man Dunn, who is a candidate on the Democratic ticket for Congress. Dunn started in as a blmetalist at a 16-to-l basis, and when he got through he wanted nothing coined but silver. He is a wit and something of a wag. His greatest waggishness is asking the people to send iiim to Congress in place of Overstreet." Mr Martindale took up the trust question and discussed it at some length. He said the Republicans will find a means to remedy what evil there might be. "Never by voice or ballot will I countenance anything that will break down the corporations in Indiana and throw thousands of men out of employment," he said. TARKINGTON CHEERED. Mr. Tarkington made his appearance in the crowd, and when he was introduced by Mr. Martindale the crowd cheered. Mr. Tarkington stepped before the crowd and told a few stories apropos of the present situation. 'The issue of this campaign, lt seems to me, Is to get out the vote. I met a railroad official to-day and asked him if he was going to vote. He said he didn't know when the election was to be held. There are too many like him. Good business men who haven't time to find out when the election is will have more time the next time if they don't know this time. "The Indifferent voter Is a worthless sort of cuss. We have got to make him come out and vote. If we get enough of them, Democrats or Republicans, the result will be the same. We must show there is no apathy in the Republican party and get out the vote. "A friend of mine told me a story of witnessing an old colored man saving a little colored boy in a river in the southern part of the State. The boy had fallen in the river and was carried to the rapids. The old man jumped In after him and brought him to the bank. My friend said to him: 'That must be a very good boy for you to risk your life trying to pull him out of the water.' He replied: 'He's the most worthless boy In de land; but, Lawd, he had de bait.' "We must save them all and make the apathetic voter realise that he has the right to vote." A DEMOCRATIC ISSUE. At the conclusion of Mr. Tarklngton's remarks Hon. Jesse Overstreet came Into the room and was at once Introduced by Mr. Fesler. Mr. Oyerstreet's speech was short and to the point. He said he had

been a very busy man and had been In search of a Democratic issue, but hadn t found one. "The Republican party never hsd to go about the country in search of an issue, said Representative Overstreet. "The Democrats have undertaken to catch up with us. but have never succeeded. If men six years ago k&yo the Republicans power because or convincing arguments, how much easier it should be to get your support by appealing to your experiences. What can the Democrats show as having accomplished anything but ruin? Nothing. The Republlcan party has no better argument than its record. It matters little who the leaders are In an election unless those leaders stand for something. It is not enough for the people to be appealed t on Democratic promises, but policies brought about in six years are what they want. "In ISM the Democratic party admitted that the country enjoyed good times. Republicanism had been the experience of our country for a number of years. The Democrats claimed the surplus In the treasury was a menace. They said there was enough in the treasury to be divideJ so that every person in the country would have $8 apiece and they promised to divide it. but you didn't get yours. Afterward, In 1888. when we elected Benjamin Harrison, the Democratic party came again and said you are getting good wages, but are paying too much for your goods. In 1892 we reached the high-water mark of prosperity, but the Democrats went into power on their plea for free trade. We got cheaper goods, but we didn't have the money to buy them with. Better universal employment at fair wages than cheap goods and no employment. KEEPS PROMISES. "The Republican party never made a promise that lt has not kept. Party accomplishments are the things to Judge by.

From 1893 to 1897 we lost much of our trade and wages. From March 4, 1897, when William McKinley jvas Inaugurated President, to now, times have changed. In five or six years under Republican policies the volume of trade i .creased five times as much as before. V?e said that und& McKinley we would Revive protective tariff, and we did it. We didn't know that we were going to have a war, but we paid off the war debt In tvo years, increased our trade and reduced .he national debt $100,000,000. We enlarged the whole field of activity and increased the volume of trade. We took absolute possession of our market and absorbed trade In other countries. We lifted up the downt'odden people. We had no competitors in the commerce of the world. American floods are now sold in nearly all the couijtries of the world. A check vpon those jfolicies will come back on you. It comes .'home to the workingman himself if he 'Joesn't sustain the Republican policies, r here is little left to do but to cast the vot.js and If every American citizen will do his duty there will be an overwhelming Republican victory. "As to Democratic issues, they have none. The Phtliptene problem has been abandoned by thei$i; they haven't dared to discuss the moiy question. They favor free trade and .hey undertake to confuse the minds of he American people on the trust question.. If the trust problem were an easy one rfe might leave It to the Democrats, but as it is a difficult one we think the Republic'ins are better able to cope with it. It better to keep tried hands in power." I j i EVAXS WOOXEVS SPEECH. He Hflkpi a Plea.' for Jacob P. Dunn "Humpy" Huven Sqaelched. Masonic Hall wast comfortably filled last night by Democrat who attended a congressional campaign meeting. It had been advertised as the bi meeting of that party. The announced speakers were Evans Woollen, Jacob P. Dunnjand W. V. Rooker, but at 10 o'clock Mr. "Woollen, Mr. Dunn and Alonzo Greene Smth had finished speaking and the spectators left while Rooker was being called fo. He did not respond, If he was in the hall- There was an intimation that he did mt enjoy the society of J. L. Keach, John rR. Wilson, arch perpetrators of the crlmA' of 1896, who appeared together on the pfitform with Edgar A. Brown, chairman 4f the meeting, W. W. Spencer. John J. Appel and others, and "ducked" when he taw the "lay out." The meeting celebrated the return of Evans Woollen to .he regular Democratic rostrum. His speech had been carefully prepared and he Had statistics for the workingmen and metaphors for the group of vice chairmen. Me confined himself to a plea for the redemption of Congress from "the reign of the jrusts." The refrain of his periods was: "n the Capitol at Washington the trusts r-vign." Mr. Woollen sale' Dun's Review (not Jacob P. Dunn's), Incontestlble authority, had reported tiiat lt now took $1.40 to purchase what cou d have been purchased for $1 five years ag o. These five years, he said, had marked he development of the trusts. The trust tjroblem is not the bogey of a campaign, an it is not the policy of the Democrats, as He alleged Senator Beveridge had represen-ed it to be, to destroy them. The Democracy recognised that there were natura- causes for the development of combinations and it was not proposing annihilation What it did propose was the destruction of organized pillage, as shown by the influence of the trusts In national legislation he said. The remedy proposed by the Democrats, he declared, was the ready-to-hf.nd method of removing all the protective -duties on trust goods. They opposed President Roosevelt's suggestion that the Constitution be amended by giving the federal government control of such matters as being the apex of the Hamiltonlan plutocratic government in centralisation of poorer. Law-made monopoly aids the trust: by granting special privileges, he contended. He then plunged into a discusion of tariffs and their allegtft means of aiding trusts at home. He quoted statistics to show that many of the threat trusts were selling goods abroad at a -ess price than at home, the domestic price being merely the tariff rate. He said ther are now 168 trusts protected by the tarir. He concluded by appealing for a res-oration of Jeffersonian Democracy, the election of Jacob P. Dunn to Congress and a delegation to the State Assembly that would retire Senator Fairbanks. Mr. Dunn followed with one of his editorial talks. He said the only issue on which the Republicans could now maintain a campaign was prosperity. He said the true test of prosperity was not that men receive better wages and are steadily employed, but that with both they do not have to face increased cost of living. It is what surplus a rian may accumulate, he said, that determli es his prosperity. As A. G. Smith approached the front of the platform he recognized that a stampede was immlnen and he merely spoke a few sentences, ad rising united action to elect the Democratic ticket. Th glorious silver "push" (or what remains of it), which had been g owering In a corner of the hall, left wit! sullen faces, as there had not been a wod about money, government ownership other elements of the party creed. During the speech of Mr. Woollen "Humpy" Havens, who created a scene at the funeral of President Harrison, rose to ask a question. In trying to suppress him he naanaged to shout: "I'm a citizen and I carry a load of potatoes on my back." He wa Induced to retire without the aid of a bludgeon. 1 . COLORED MKS SOT WANTED. Taggart and Spencer Spurn Their Old Friends. "Put not your trust In princes," the Scriptures sayi ard the members of the Democratic colored clubs have paraphrased it by: "Put not your trust in Boss Tom." A big delegation irom the several colored clubs that have rallied In past campaigns to the Democrat! call to arms received about the coldest -urndown yesterday that they could have got. They were Informed by the genial Thomas, so their own story goes, that they were no longer needed in county and state Selections and that they might as well ruh along and cease to trouble. If they were good and kept quiet something might l e done for them when a city election came around, but at other times there was nothing doing in requests for financial aid. John Banks. H E.
