OF GLORY WITH THE BEATIjGr OF DRUMS AND THE PLAYING OF FIFES, T3E CAMPAIGN CLOSES The Air Was Rent With the Music v. , ':'" of the Bands and Hundreds of Human Voices, ' HON. JAMES E, V, Addressed the Largest Meeting of Campaign at the Coliseum Last Evening.. No one will ever be able to say ih at tlio campaign of l!)04 closed in a listless fashion in Wayne county. The closing meeting of the Republicans at the Coliseum last night was a rousing one from start to finish. " Congressman James E. Watson, of (he sixth concessional district, addressed a large audience at the Coliseum and a more enthusiastic audience would inn he cared for. The address ;f Mri AYatsou was a wonderfid j'ue anl he outlined; the his(ovy -of Uk -Republican party for years and compared it with the history of the Democrats for the same period. After the parade ' had disbanded last, evening the Coliseum rapidly filled up. The stage was filled with the vice presidents of the meeting and soon after S o'clock twelve members of the Newcastle glee club walked onto the stage and they received a generous amount of applause. Mr. Watson followed , them and was accompanied by A. M. Gardner, chairman of. the county committee, and W. C. Converse, chairman of last evening's meeting. The glee club opened the .evening's program by giving a number of campaign dities. All of their songs were parodies on the popular songs of the day and they did not miss any. One of the amusing parts of this was the antics of Joe Landwer, in rendering a song entitled: ''Get on the Wagon," Mr. Landwer made quite a hit with the audience. In a few wen put remarks Mr. Converse introduced Mr. Watson to the meeting. Mr. Watson said:" Stupendous interests aic involved in elections. In every; election the country is aroused. As each party seeks the support of the people the questions that arise in the minds of the people are: 'On what do you base yonr claims ?' The Republican party points to its past record and challenges the Democratic party to meet it on that issue. A party can not do everything to make a country great; it ean do a great deal in the development of a country. What have the Democrats ever done in the development of this country? Thev claim .that! we do not give God any credit for. the work he has done and that we always happen to be on the side of providence. If that is the cause for our success, why-do they not try 'to- use providence in their platforms. The uniform success of our party is thil it has always had the courage to d things that are right. In 1896 the national honor of this country was attacked by--the Bryan Democracy. They wished to' -put us on a level with Mexico and "'China on the money question. In 1900 the same party proposed that we should pull down the old Hag in the Philippines and forget Dewey and Lawton. The Democrats are advocating free trade.

While Driving Along the Road in By East PITCHED HIGH III THE AIR

Cutting a Hole in His Head Which Resulted in Instant Death Particu- ... v - . Ian of the Affair Given Leaves Wife and Two Children.

Elmer Watt, a fanner living between Westville and New Hope, a few miles east of this city, was struck last night about 10:10 by the west-bound New Paris car on the Dayton & Western Traction line, and instantly killed. The scene of the accident was the traction crossing just east of the big trestle near the Ohio-Indiana State line. ' Watt was in Richmond early in the evening, presumably to attend the Watson rally and had probably started for home about 9:30. James Noakes, motorman on the New Paris car, says that as he was coming around the sharp curve in the road near the crossing he whistled as usual. It was impossible for him to see Watt, who was driving alone in an open rig, until the curve was rounded. When he did see him it was f late to stop the car which struck the back wheel of the rig, throwing the driver high into the airv On the top .pfWaft's. skull is Ji, hole larger than the size of a dollar and it is judged from this that the unfortunate man fell on his head.
