The Greatest Railroad Magnate His Day, Accompanied by His
of
Son George and Wife and A. L, Hopkins, Pays a Visit to the Booming City •-.
Of Sonth Hutchinson—They Had Heard of Oar Boom and Came to See About
It, and Found it Life Size and in Good Shape.
South Hutchinson was honored this morning with a visit from the most dis tinguished railroad magnates this world has produced, viz: Jay Gould. Geo-ge Gould and L. Hopkins. The party came over from St. Louis in Mr. Gould's private car and was accompanied by Mrs. George Gould, who was making her first visit to Kansas and the officials of the Wichita & Colorado, including Col. Marsh Murdock, of the Eagle. The whole party at once took carriages for a drive over the principal streets, and were loud in their praises of the Queen oity. Said Mr. Gould: "I am greatly surprised at what I see here. I had heard much of Hutchinson and wide-awake business men, but I bad no idea of the reality. Certainly Hutchinson is destined to make a city. Witchita and Hutchinson will be the two large cities of western Kansas." "But are not the two towns too close together?" "No. They will command different territory. We expect to do much for Hutchinson. It is properly located for a wholesaling and manufacturing point."
Said Mrs. George Gould to our reporter: "I am not an expert in manufacturing business, but I know your city is most beautiful and tastily laid out. Your wide streets and avenues, with long rows of trees betoken a taste that is truly refreshing to a person accustomed to the narrow, pent up concerns called streets in our eastern cities. I shall come to Hutohinson again when we have time to pay you a longer visit."
The directors and officials of the Wiohita & Colorado had all been here lately save Qol. Murdock and A. W, Olliver. These gentlemen were both pleased witn the lively appearance of things, and the Eagle man predicted a population of 20,000 in eighteen months. In faot March ordered some lots he bought for ^500 a dozen in '78 put on the maiket at $2,000 apiece. The distinguished party returned to Wichita.
ANew Mill.
Hutchinson Daily News: South Hutchinson secured the new flouring mill. The contracts were signed Thursday of this week and Mr. Sterne started direct for Indianapolis to purdti&se the machinery for a first class roller mill, having a capacity of 100 barrels per day. The buildings are to be stone and brick. Mr. Sterne promises the people a mill that will compete with any in the state, as to quality of product. This is a sufficient guarantee to all who know Mr. Sterne and the gentleman connected with him that the mill will be all that could be desired by our farmers and consumers. This is the same gentleman who was figuring with the Haven people, but it appears that Ben Blanchard got away with the baggage, which of course includes the mill.

ELOQUENT SPEECH.
Continued From First Page.
vet because the President vetoed a few bills you are told, as you have been toldfor twenty years, that the Democratic party is the enemy of the Union soldier! There are soldiers here tonight, there are men here who went where bullets were and who did not serve in the quartermaster's department with Johnston. (Applause.) I appeal to you soldiers if you don't know that the meanest law ever placed upon your statute books was placed there against ypu by a Republican Congress and signed by a Republican President—the law whioh compels a soldier when he applies for a pension, after the long maroh and the bloody field and a hundred battles, to prove by two witnesses that he was a man of sound body when the government accepted his service, to prove by two witnesses that he was able to do the fighting that he had already done! That is the law today not a Democratic law, thank God, but a law placed upon your statute books by the hands of the ftepublican party.
MB. JOHNSTON, OF PABKE. i/'! My friends, two years ago you heard this same story of the enmity of the Democratic party to the soldier and Mr. Johnston, before he met me in joint discussion, had told the people thatl was the enemy of the Union soldier. Do you remember the scene when we met together near the Terre Haute House and when I produced ,tne Congressional Record and showed that upon every question of pensions I stood side by side with Major Calkins, Stanton J. Peelle, Gen. Tom Browne and every other Republican and Democrat from Indiana, when, with that record, I produced a letter from Gen. Tom Browne in wkich he said that I had stood shoulder to shoulder and side by side with him in the interest of the Union soldiers, do you remember what Johnston said then "Oh, yes," said he, "Lamb is all right on the soldier question, but it is the party that I am after —the party of the rebel brigadier." He has changed his tune this year. He says it is not the party he is after but it is "Lamb". [Laughter] And he keeps just as far away from me as he can get. [Laughter.] I guess he thinks that if he canght me he would be like the fellow that caught the bear he would want somebody to help him let go. [Laughter.)
JOHNSTON AND THE SOLDIBBS. But Johnston knows now that there area number of poor soldiers who have been deprived of their pensions because of this infamous law of which I spoke and consequently, in this campaign, he has a panacea for all their ills. He
Bays
he is for the universal pension bill he wants to pass a .bill to pension every soldier that was honorably discharged from the army. I showed you at the start that you couldn't tell what he was for by what he said he was for. I propose to show you now that be is not for the universal pension bill, although he says he is. It would cost the people at least $100,000,000 a year if that bill become a law. There is no money to pay those pensions with. There are but two ways in which taxes can be collected now for the benefit of the federal government the one is by levying tariff duties and the other is by the internal revenue tax. Col. Morrison, of Illinois, the other day—the 23rd day of June— offered a resolution that a tax should be levied upon incomes for the purpose of paying pensions and other expenses of the governmert that the taxes should be levied
UPON THE INCOMES
of all those who were able to make $3, 000 a year or more. Now, who was that law to injure? Was it to injure the laboring men of Terre Haute, or the farmer, or the business man? No. Who would it injure? Jay Gould, the Yanderbilts, the railway corporations, the manufacturing corporations, the national banks, the bondholder who draws his fonr per cent interest semi-annually on his government bond that he bought with greenbacks and that is now payable in gold and he does not pay one cent of tax upon them. The only way to reach that man is by an income tax. 1 have the record here. When the roll was called upon that measure, which would compel the wealth of the country to bear its share of the burdens of taxation, where did your representative stand? Where he had always stood, my friends. There were 127 men who voted against that resolution and among them was James T. Johnston, and that is the same James T. Johnston who made that record in the State Senate when he was a boy. [Applause.] Mr. Johnston is now receiving a salary of $5,000 a year, yet he tells you he is in favor of a bill to give himself $100 a Hfear as a pension to be paid out of your pockets, while he votes against the income tax bill whioh would compel him to pay a small tax upon his income of $5,000 a year to assist the soldier who is disabled, crippled, poor and in need. I guess you will agree with me, won't you, that the Republican candidate for Congress shows no signs of reformation Wherever he has had the chance in his public life he has stood at all times upon the side of those who "toil not, neither do they spin, yet the lilies of the field are not arrayed like one of these." He had no thought of you, no care for your interest but all the time voting upon the side of the corporation, upon the side of the banker and upon the side of all the wealth of the country. It is no wonder, my friends, that this desperate campaign is now bein^ waged for JohnBton by the men with money—a campaign which hesitates at nothing to accomplish its purpose.
JOHNSTON AND THE GREENBACKERsf
Do you know the Republicans have no candidate for Congress this year? Have you thought of that? Do you know why I say so? Wherever Johnston goes he says he is a Greenbacker. [Laughter.] You could not get him to make a Republican speech this year to save your immortal soul. [Laughter.] I met an old friend of mine in Clinton the other day and he said to me: "John,
I know why Johnston won't go into joint discussion with you.!' I said: "Why was that?" Hesaid: "Hehas absolutely stolen the speech that you made two years ago on the money question and is making it now as his own." [Laughter.] When I denounced the
tress and want and poverty to many'
A HAPPY ILLUSTRATION.
Mr. Johnston says I talk a good deal about the joint discussion. I. do and I am going, to keep on talking about it. I intend to convince Mr. Johnston before the campaign is over that he is a good deal in the condition of the New York dude, who went out west to put on airs One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at the table. The waiter came and looked at him he didn't know what it was but he guessed it was a man. He says, "What do you want"? "I would like a nice tender, juicy piece of beef •teak, something nice and delicate for my constitution." The waiter concluded he would fix that fellow. He went out and returned in a few minutes with a piece of the neck end of a 28 year old steer [Laughter.] He sat it down on the table. "Do you call that beef steak, my friend" "Yes" said the waiter. "Oh, but I can't eat that take it away." The waiter said," But you will eat it or I will wear it out on you, one or the other" [Laughter.] propose that as Mr. Johnston wouldn't have a joint discussion with me that I will wear one out on him, and by the time the campaign is over he will feel like the dude, that he had better have taken it.
JOHNSTON IN 1884 AND IN 1886. Two years ago when this candidate was nominated at Crawfordsville, he came down to Rookville, his home, and the citizens there took up a subscription and hired a brass band and went down to meet him, feeling proud that their town had been so honored. They stood him up on the court house steps and he had not spoken three minutes until he raised his hand and said: "I thank God that no drop of Democratic blood runs in my veins." And every Democratic man and woman in the audience threw up their hands and thanked God that for once in his life he told the truth. [Applause.] A man who oould not address an assemblage of the citizens of his own town without insulting his neighbors who chanced to differ with him in their political opinions the man who feels that he is better than his neighbor because of his party politics is not fit to represent anybody anywhere. [Applause.] But Mr. Johnston thought two years ago, when there was 2,000 Republican majority in the district, that it would be a good thing to abuse Dem-, ocrats. But this year he has changed hits tune and when he went to Rockville' the other day from the same court house steps he began his speech by saying: "My neighbors and friends." He is actually calling Democrats bis neighbors this year, and, as they say about
Kfxi
thresholds throughout the length and! ^y^ndardin times gone by, and who. breadth of this land, Johnston defended'W1" to days to come. [Loud every act of it as best he could. You fPP^au8®-J I am no stranger here and
have read in the Good Book of the sud den conversion of Saul of Tarsus, the great infidel, when he was on his way to Damascus to persecute the Christians when the scales fell from his eyes and all at onoe he became the great St Paul. We have been taught that this occurred in the day of miracles and that those days have long since passed away. It is all a mistake. The day of miracles is still with us and a greater miracle was performed on hard money Jim Johnston to turn him into a soft money Greentfecker than was ever performed on Saul of Tarsus. [Laughter.] Do you know how it was done? When the legislature met two years ago Warren county was taken off of this district and Sullivan put on, and instead of there being 2,000 Republican majority in the district it is now about 700 Democratic.

When I was a candidate for Congress two yeprs ago in this district, the

THE DOUBLE-DEALER CAUGHT. But, my friends, there is a Providence which watches even the fall of the sparrow that always sets a trap for the douole dealer. When Mr. Johnston was nominated for Congress the other day in this hall there were two planks placed in the platform. The first was a plank endorsing "^Senator Ben Harrison, the second was a plank endorsing James T. Johnston—a nioe pair for Greenbackers to "draw to." [Laughter.] Ben Harribon, who in 1876, wanted to build lunatic asylums for Greenback idiots, and James T. Johnston, who wanted to help Ben Harrison build them. This year they are not building lunatic asylums for their neighbors who may happen to differ with them in politics, but they are crying out to the Greenbacker: "Friend of my bosom, I have loved you always come home." That is the appeal that is being made this year. Do you think they will fool anybody? There is no man who can be deceived by this sort of hypocrisy except some man who desires to be deceived. He doesn't want a joint discussion does he? I would be glad to have him here tonight to take his Greenback mask off him and let you people see him as he is.
by 220 majority, although Mr. Blaine had 140 majority. [Applause.1 I ran 360 votes ahead of my presidential ticket in the presidential campaign. That is the verdict of the people who haver known me always, and with that verdictupon my side I am willing to stand all the assaults that can be made upon met of a private or public character. The only way to judge a man in this world is by his measurement at home. The man who stands well at home has a* right to look the world in the face and fear nobody. Then let us look at another picture. James T. Johnston, who wrote me that letter, lives in Parke oounty and has lived there for twenty^' years. In the election of 1884 Mr^. Blaine carried his oounty of Parke overf X"' Mr. Cleveland by 637 majority. How« many votes do you think Johnston beatrv^ &£ Lamb? Just 352 votes. Thus he ranp)5iJ'I among the people who knew him best I ran 360 votes ahead of my ticket among those who knew me beet. In' the township of Adams, in which Rockville is, where Mr. Johnston lives andis as well known ns I am in Terre Haute, Mr. Blaine carried that township by 100 majority. How many votes do you think Mr. Johnston carried it by? Remember, I am simply submitting reoords. He carried it by one poor pitiful vote over me and I am reliably informed that the poor, unfor tunate fellow who gave that votw committed snicide the next morning. [Laughter and applause.]
CLOSING WORDST5""
This may be the only occasion that I will have the pleasure of speaking to' you in this campaign. Mf heart goes out to you one aud all for the magnificent reception which you have tendered me tonight. Whether I am successful or defeated in this campaign I shall always remember you with the untying gratitude of a heart that never forgets a friend or a favor. But I want tcf say to you in closing that there is no doubt of the result of this oontest.

Ten People at His Meeting Where There Was One at Johnston's.
ROSEDALE, Parke County, Oct 11.— [GAZETTE special.]—Hon. John E. Lamb, Democratic candidate for Congress, spoke here Saturday afternoon. The speaking was held out of doors, as no four buildings in the town could have held the crowd that had congregated to hear him. Mr. James Armstrong, an old Democratic soldier and ex-trustee of Florida township, presided and introduced the distinguished speaker to the immense audience. Mr. Lamb's telling speech was well received. Mr. Johnston spoke here several weeks ago in a school-house. That was the meeting when, as an actual fact, Mr. Johnston was not applauded at any single time during his speech, nor at its close, nor before it began. The attendance at the Lamb meeting was at least ten times larger than the attendemee at the Johnston meeting. This is not bad for Reoublican Parke. At the meeting Saturday were a number of miners from the surrounding mines and they were well pleased with
