o = THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, BRYAN APPEARS AT INDIANAPOLIS Curiosity Causes Thousands to See the Nebraska Orator. National Democrats Called a Fraud by the Silver Candidate. MR. BYNUM ALSO ASSAILED. Pienty of Word: by the Young Elocu- tionist to Bo'ster Up the Chicago P.atform INDIANAPOLIS, Isp., Oct. 6. — In- dianapolis exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the local and State sup- porters of William Jennings Bryan in the series of remarkable demonstrationg given the Chicago nominee to-day. The outpouring of people was extraordinary. ¥rom the time Mr. Bryan reached this city early in the afternoon until he con. cluded his last address to-night he was the center of the great enthusiasm indulged in by countless thousands of Indianans. The committee in charge of the arrange- ments gave Mr. Bryan an opportunity to test his physical ability to its utmost, for it had provided for no less than four speeches by the candidate in various parts of the city. The first meeting was at the hall where the State Legislatures hold their meet- ings, at 3 o’clock, and was followed by a meeting in front of Temlinson Hall. Mr. Bryan begged off from making a third afternoon address, as arranged by the committee, compromising by promising to give two speeches in the evening in- stead of one. Mr. Bryan’s arrival from Louisville was the signal for the beginning of the con- tinued ovation. Excursionists from many parts of the State helped swell the crowds on the streets along the line of his progress from Meridian street where he left the train to the Grand Hotel, his abid- ing place while here. The Bryan and Sewall Traveling Men’s Club and many other political organizations were in the escort procession. The Cleveland Club of Indianapolis acted as Mr. Bryan’s per- sonal escort and marched throughout the day beside the carriage drawn by six white borses, in which he sat with Gov- ernor Matthews, Mayor Taggart and John W. Tomlinson of Alabama, a member of the National Democratic Advisory Com- mittee who will accompany Mr. Bryan through the West. Mr. Bryan was cheered. almost continuously along his route by the thousands of citizens who lined the streets and side watks. At 3o'clock the candidate drove to the Btate House and delivered an open-air ad- dress to a crowd that was nearly, if not quite, equal to the crowd to which he spoke at Columbus, Ohio, and on Boston common, the banuer crowds of his cam- paign. Another tremendous throng awaited him outside Tomlinson Hall, where he spoke from the baicony at 4:30. To-night he addressed two more great | gatherings, one inside and the other out- side Tomlinson Hall. There is no doubt that the number of people who heard him here to-day exceeded by far the aggregate of his andience in any other city since the | campaign began. . All along the route to Indianapolis the demonstrations were repeated. At Sey- mour 4000 or 5000 people heard Mr, Bryan: a throng between 8000 and 10,000 was at Columbus; Edinburgh turneé out 3500 and Franklin nearly if not quite 5000. Estimates of the size of the crowd be- jore which Mr. Bryan appeared at the State House go as high as 60,000, A very conservative estimate is 35,000. The peo- ple were packed in a solid mass tightly wedged together and movement was ab: luteiy impossible. stand erected in the State House yard Governor Matthews introduced ~Mr. Bryan. A bedlam of enthusiasm broke forth from the crowd and it was some time before Mr. Bryan could proceed. His speech was frequently interrupted by wild cheering. He said: This city enjoys the unique distinction of being the birthplace and the deathbed of a so- called party. [A]’l]’)!lu!«!.{l My friends, I know thatIam not obeying the Bible injunction, *Let the dead bury their dead,” when I speak of this so-called Democratic party. [Cheers.] I speak of it as I would not speak oi any ‘bona-fide organization of men. But this party Occulp‘es & peculiar place in history. It ealis itself the Nutional Democretic party when it does not expect to carry a single county in the whole Union. [Cheers and laughter.) It called itself a Democratic party when it was organ- 1zed for the express purpose of electing a Re- publiean canaidate for President. [Great cheering.] If it was big enough to justity the name it would be a stupendous fraud [loud laughter], but it is too small to be called stupendous. [Laughter snd cheers.‘] I will call it a transparent fraud. [Cheers.] It was the first political convention ever held in this country where the members of the commitiee nominated a ticket that they did not expect to vote for, and the first place where men have received a nomination and don’t want to be voted for. [Cheers aud leughter.] The minority plank in the Chicago platform opposed free coinage, on the ground tnat it would interfere with international bimetal- lism, and when they failed to secure the adop- tion of that plank they assembled in conven- tion here and forgot ail about international timetallism, [Applause. There has Leen no clearer evidence of in- tended deception than is found in the fact that the minority at Chicago, when they had things all their own way, repudiated the planks they stood on there and came out in favor of a gold standard instead of inter- national bimetallism. [Cheering.] My friends, 1 am wiling to meet an open enemy in an open fleld and concede to that enemy sil the nghu and privileges of open wariare, but hen our opponents call themselvesadvocates of sound money and want to fasten upon us an unsound financial system; when they call themselves the advocates of honest monéy and then demolish honesty; when they say that they are a Democratic party and yet employ epeakers and openly say they are going to vote the Republican ticket—that party does not de- serve to be treated like an opponent in this cempaign. [Applause.] My friends, I have no criticism to make of any man who believes that the election of the Chicago ticket would destroy thiscountry and who votes the Republican ticket, bui, my friends, to find 2 man who wants to elect the Ropublican ticket and then hasnot the cour- age o bear the odinm of advocating it isan entirely differelt matter. [“Give it to Bynum,” cried a volcea] 1f you want to know what that distinguished citizen— [“Extinguished,” came irom the crowd.] The gentleman suggests ex- tinguished citizen [great cheering and laugh- ter], but I will say aistinguished because he hae a past, whether he has any future or not. £Gren cheering and laughter.]” If you wantto now what he said about the gold standard let me read from his speech in favor of silver in 1886: “Again the advocates of gold approach us with open hands and smiling countenances, but I fear that the dagger is concealed beneath their coats.” Ah, my friends, he understood 1he nature of the snimal before he began to associate with it He s right in his description. The gold standard never fought an open fight. Itcar- ries the knife of the assassin and does its work benind the mask of a ‘""5‘"’ Itisnotan cgeu enemy, never was, and never will be. {Great cheering.] Now, see how well he un- derstood them. ~ He id: “Oh, they say, we want silver, we are bimetallists, {mt we wantan honest dollar. Suspend coinage and we will drive Enflllnd. Germany and other na- tions to bimetailism and then the price of sl wer bnliion will appreciste #hd our dollarj Froia the temporary | will be worth a hundred cents.’” [Cheering.] That was what was said in 1886. My friends, instead of saying now that we wiil adopt bi- metaliism and drive other nations toif, he says that we will stand by the gold standard and sllow other nations to drive us away from it. [Applause.] The rest of the speech was devoted to a discussion of the silver question on lines familiar to readers of his previous ad- dresses. The six black- horses that drew the candidate's carriage from the State House to Tomlinson’s Hall cavorted all along the. way past cheering peovle on the side- walks, About 15000 people were in the audience there. They were quite asen- thusiasticas the vast throng at the State House. Mr. Bryan speke from the balcony of the hall. He said in the course of his remarks that when he ceme to Indian- apolis opponents had discovered a new method of warfare. He said: 1 found that in the State of Indiana the Re- publicans were circulating an_editorial which appeared in the Qmabe World-Herald about four years ago. It was an editorial which criticized pensions and pension sppropria- tions, and it was stated that that was my language because I was the editor of the paper. But I need not tell you, becauss you have al- ready been told before, that that editorial ap- Bsarcd in the World-Herald about two years efore I had any connection whatever with the paver. [Cheering.] There is Do reason why any soldier who believes in the principles set forth in the Chicago platform should vote against the nominees of that convention. Ii there are soldiers who are onposed to the principles set torth in the Chicago platiorm they will be found upholding the ticket, just as anybody e(se will oppo-e the ticket which is opposed to the policies supported by the nominees. But thereis no reason why any soldier who be- Heves in the right of this Nation to have a financial policy of its own should oppese any man named on the Chicago platiorm. My friends, when I hear these financiers appeal- ing to the soldiers and telling them that the iree coinage of silver would hurt the soldier I cannot but wonder when the financiers be- came so much interested in the weifare of the soldiers. [Cheers. A voice: “It’s a Republi- can scheme all the time !"1 The soldiers wno went through the war will distinctly remem- ber that when they were out fighting in the field the financiers were making laws, and they so made the laws that the man who fur- nished money was paid back in gold, while the man who risked his life was paid in green- backs. [Cheers. A voice: “Worth 40 cents on the dollar.”] The gentleman suggests that they are worth 40 cents on the dollar. He is right. The very men who are now so afraid that the soldier willdraw his peusfon in 50-cent dollars were not airaid to pay him for his services in 40- cent dollars, My friends, if the soldier looks at the money question merely from the stand- point of his own Interest he must remember that his pension is only property and that if he legislates the value of the dollar up, while he raises the purchase power of his pension, he will incresse the value of whatever other roperty he has, and if he finds that he ean enefit himself by rasising the purchasing power of his pension he must remember that he is condemning his childrenand his chil- dren’s children to the injustice of a gold stan- dard. The rest of the speech was devoted to a discussion of the money question, Mr. Bryan following his previous lines of argu- ment. < X Before starting out to make his night speech Mr. Bryan was waited on by the Bryan and Sewall Travelers’ Ciub with a request for a speech. He addressed the members for a few minutes in the Grand Hotel. His first speech to-night was from a stand in Courthouse Park, where 15,000 enthusiastic people gathered. He spoke a few minutes only and then went to Tom- linson Hall to address a mass-meeting of workingman. Six thousand was the audience, packed, jammed and huddled together. The cheering that greeted the candidate’s entrance lastea fifteen min- utes, In his brief address Mr, Bryan com- plimented Governor Matthews and spoke of how deeply he had been touched by the loyalty and devotion of candidates for the Presidential nomination. He urged his hearers the necessity of supporting not only the National ticket, but also the free silver Congressicnal candidate, and not to neglect the fight in the selection of a United States Senator. Mr. Bryan will leave here at 8 o'clock in the morning and will end his Indiana speechmaking at Hammond, where is due to-morrow night. T g BYNUMW'S WESTERN TOUR. Talks Confidently of the Sound-Money Success in the Battle. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 6.—William D. Bynum, chairman of the National Gold | Democratic Committee, expects to return to Chicago to-night. There was some fur- ther details relating fo the organization that will require his attention at Chicago. Chairman Bynum, after he has disposed of them, will make speeches in Indiana, Illi- nois and Michigan. Chairman Hanna made the following statement to-day in reference to the political sitnation: “‘Everything 1s perfectly satisfactory. Our position 1s strong in the East. It has been growing stronger every day on thé sound-money question, and the reflection of that is spreading and exciting its in- fluence all over the country. I have yet to discover any weak spots as a result of the secord invasiofl of Bryan. I go West | fully prepared and ready to meet our op- | ponents in the open field of battie, which | they have chosen for the final contest, with perfect confidence and assurance as 10 the result. “The campaign has been extended, It now goes into many of the Southern States, which give promise of success, owing to the developed strength of sound- money Yrinciples. and this comes from the loyal sentiment in thatsection. Al- though the campaign is more comprehen- sive, 1t will be, nevertheless, active and exhaustive because of the importance of the question and the feeling of the people on the Chica?o platform. I go West, be- cause in dividing my time between -the Eastern and Western headquarters it seems better to be West during the re- mainder of the campaign, inasmuch as they nave stated that the battle ground is in the middle Western States. The organ- ization of these Bastern headquartersin point of efficiency and harmony is per- fect and does not seem to need any assist- ance whidh I can give it. “It is needless to say that I appreeiate fully how much credit is due to the news- papers of New York, Brooklyn, and, in fact, the press of the whole East for the gratifying condition of 'affairs in this part of our cnnntr{y. Their patriotic course cannot bave failed to create a profound impression upon the mindsof the people.” | | —_—— Protest Againat Oertification. SPRINGFIELD, InL., Oct. 6.—Theodore Nelson, secretary of the Democratic State Committee, filed a petition with the Secre- tary of State against the certification of the independent National Democratic State ticket. He gives as his reasons that the law has not peen complied with; that there are not enough names to the peti- tion, and that it is illegally constituted. The secretary refused to certify.the peti- tion of David Holmes of Mount Erie, the independent Democratic eandicdate for Supreme Court Clerk. and Walter Snook of Chester County, candidate for Appeliate Court Clerk for the Southern jurisdf:flon. He claims that their petitions had only 1809 when they should have had 3802 names. poous Hianle May Not Get On the Ballot. COLUMBUS, Omo, Oct. 6.—The Staté and electoral tickets of the sound-money Democrats may not get on the Australian ballot in this State after all. The State Democratic Executive Committee filed a | protest against admitting the ticket to the ballot with the State Supervisor of Elec- tions to-day. It is based on the ground that the name is so similar to the regular Democratic party that it is hikely to give rise to confusion. There is a State law against this. Secretary of State Taylor took the protest under consideration. —_— Thinks Bil Will Support Bryan. NEW YORE, N.Y., Oct. 6.—Chairman Danforth reached the Hotel Bartholdi Democratic headquarters snortly before noon. He talked freely about his talk with Senator Hill. “I am confident,’’ said he, “that Senator Hill will announce his intention sdon of supporting both Bryan and Sewall and the State ticket. Later on in the week I may issue a state- ment that will leave no doubt as to Sen- ator Hill’s position,” | for a dollar, six bushels of corn for a dollar, | : repels the charge. SEWALL ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION Not at All Backward- in Being Bryan's Run- ning Mate. Expresses fatisfaction With ti\e Chicago Piatform of the Party. FINANCES HIS MAIN THEME. Says the Peopls Now Face a Crisis More Scrious Than Any Since the War. BATH, Mk, Oct. 6.—The followlng is the letter of acceptance of Hon. Arthur Sewall, Democratic nominee for Vice- President of the United States: BaTH, Me., Oct. 6, 1896. Hon. Stephen M. White, Chairman and Mem- bers of the Notification Committee: 1 have the honor to sceept in writing, as I have already verbally done, the nomination tendered by you on behalf of the Demoeratic party asits candidate for Vice-President of the United States. And in doing so I am glad, first, to express my satisfaction that the platform of our party, which has commanded my life-long allegiance, is honestly and fully declaratory of all its privileges and especially of the absorb- ing financial issue upon which, as you say, I took my stand: “When the hours of triumph seemed remote and when arrogant momey | changers throughout the world boasted that the conquest of the American masses was complete.” These principles have been of late in abey- ance only because those whom we trusted to maintaiu them have faileg to do so, These principles can never die. We have rescued our party from those who, under the influence of the money power, have controiled and de- based it. Our mission is to uow rescug, from this same power and its foreign alliances our beloved country. This is the first and highest duty imposed by.our part; platform; upon the performance of this duty all other reforms must wait. The test of party principles is the government that I desire; the proof of good government is & contented and happy people, and the surreme test of both is the ability to guide the country through & crisis as well as to administer the Government in ordinary times. Our people now face a erisis: a crisis more serious than any since the war. To what party shall they turn in their dirs emergency? Itis true that the present crisis may not iavolve all equally; that {here are those who do not suffer now, and who may not suffer should the crisis threatened by the gold standard come on in allits fury, Human selfishness makes those deaf to all appeals, but to these, fortunately, the Democratic party has never needed to ap- peal to win its battles; nor does it now, save s there are some among them who can rise superior to self in the sacrifice which such a crisis demands of every patriot. We are told that the country bas prospered under the present monetary standard; that its wealth nas enormousiy increased. Granted. But in | whose hands? In the handsof the toilers, the farmers, the miners, the fabricators in the factories, the creators of the Nation’s wealth in peace; its defenders in war? Have they prosperity, which was theirs so | late as even two years ago? 1deny it. Ideny it. None affirm it save those whose interests it is to do so, whose profits would diminish as prosperity reiurns to those on whose distrese they thrive. All is indeed r'ght between clrilfl] and capi- | tal. The best money in the world is none too good forthose whoaave got it, but how is it with the 90 per cent of our peopie who have | “got it to get?”’ How is it with those who | must buy this *‘best money in the world” with | the productsof their own labor? These are the people for whom the Demoeratic party | would legislate. What is the best money for | these is the question for all to ask who really love this land. How also cen you increase | Jabor’s purchasing power but by increasing the price of 1abor's produets? | 1s it & fair measure of value that in our great producing sections ten bushels af potatoes must be paid for a dollar, ten bushels of oats three buskels of wheet and all other products of the soil and mines and the labor of all wage-varners at the same ratio? Does any fair-minded man say this is honest money that forces such an exchange, and if itis not a fair exchange, is it honest, is it less than robbery? This is the condition to which the | single gold standard has brought us. Under it | the appreciation of the “best money in the ‘world” has increased the wealth of the rich, and for the same reason has increased the debt of the creditor. So under the present standard it must continue to be. With the ob- ject lessons about us, little need have we for | history and suatistics and the studies of scholars. Little satisfaction is it to us that the? have wsrned us long since of the deadly evil of the goid standard. 1t has brought us at last to the parting of the ways. Whither shall the people go? In the way that has led to their ensiavement or in that which offers them their only chance to regain individual liberty, lasting prosperity and hap- piness? Let not our opponents charge us with creating elass distinctions. Alas for the Re- pubiicans! they are already here, created by the B?\lblicnn policy of the last thirty years; created by the very system we would now overthrow and destroy. Nor do we raise a sectional issue, The nomination yon tender None know better than I that this nomination is meant as no personal tribute, but as an assurance that our party is & non-sectional party. Not by our poliey, but only by the continuance of the gold standard, can sectionalism be revived. Neither shall our opponents be permittsd to terrify the people by predictions that temporary aisturb. ance or panic will come from the policy we gopm, The American rwm'm be I ihe Nation's money, will stand behind ana maintain it at whatever value they may them- selves lay upon it, : o been called Once before have our 'peow upon to face a great crisisn. What then said r. Lincoln, the chosen leader of the penple of this lana? Was he awed by threats or ‘weakened by pleadings of false friends who pleaded for compromise with wrong? His answer was: “If our sense of duty forbids this, then let us stand by our duty fearlessly and effectively. Let us be diverted by none of ihese sophistical contrivances wherewith we are so industriously plied and belabored, con- trivances such as groping for some middle ground between the rightand the wrong, re- versing the divine rule and calling not the sinners but the righteous to repentance, such as invoeations to Washington, imploring men to n{ what Washington seid and undo what ‘Washington did.” Neither let us be slandered from our dut] b; {ais¢ accusations ageinst us. Let us have l“{ that rlsht makes might, and in that faith to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it. We know what the nature of the struggle is in which we are ln{ ed; we are anxious only that lhe‘rnnh of e land shall under- stand it and then our baitle is won.

DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 6.—The reg- ular Democratic State Committee to-day practically gave up the fight against al- lowing the gold ticket to go on the Ans- tralian ballot ander the name of the National Democratic ticket, The Board of Appeals in such cases, consisting of the Secretary of State, Auditor and Attorney- General, having decided against the silver raen, the attorneys for the silver commit- tee announced that they wouid not go into the courts, The statute expresses that the political board’s decision is final, but it was proposed to get into court on the alleguion that the board was preju- diced and did not consider the case prop- erly.

HAWKINS GIVER THE DECISIN Declaréd the Victor of Ganz in a Fifteen-Round Battle. But the Baltimore Feather- Weight Clearly Fought to a Draw. SURPRISE AND MUCH DISGUST. After the Preliminary- Beuts the Men Fought Viciously, but the Cali- fornian Was Favored. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 6,—Dal Haw- kins of California was given the decision over Joe Ganz, the colored feather-weight of Baltimore, in their fifteen-round battle at the Bohemian Sporting Club to-night. Hawkins’ supporters were abont as much surprised at Referee Kelly’s decision as Ganz' backers were disgusted. The con- test was clearly a draw. Hawkins, who is a protegs of Jim Corbett, had the advan- tage of height and reach over the colored lad. 2 After the preliminary bouts were de- cided the maln contest was put on ai 11:30 o’clock. Hawkins was looked after by Jim McVey, Corbett’s sparring partner, and Corbett himself sat within coaching distance of the Californian’s crowd. Ganz was taken care of by Al Hofferd of Balti- more and Charley White. Hawkins showed up well, and before the first round was over it looked any odds on him. He assumed the aggressive at once and fairly smothered Ganz with heavy left swings on the face and body. Ganz only landed twice in the round. The first part of the second was a repe- tition, and Ganz was winded and nervous, but recovered somewhat before the bell rang The Baltimorean had a bit the best of the third. He found a guard for Haw- kin®' swinging left and stopped some vi- cious attempts. Joe put in some good body blows, and both were tiring from the fast pace. InthenextGanz had his man’s measure, and keeping well away from swings he forced the fighting and jabbed bis man hard on the jaw with his left. There was some very fast fighting in the fifth, both exchanging hard body blows. A bard swing on the jaw made wkins rather dazed as the bell rang. Hawkins opened the sixth round with a hard left on the ribs, but Ganz retaliated by jabbing his man four times in succes- sion with lefts in the face. Hawkins' left ear was bleeding and he clinched hard. The Californian swung wildly and Ganz punched him hard. The Californian steadied himself in the seventh and the exchanges were even. Both fougni very fast at the start of the eighth. Ganz drove his man’s head back with a left on the chin aad Hawkins came back with a vicious swing that staggered the colored man. Hawkins’ neck was very raw and red and his left eye was swollen. In theninth and tenth rounds the fighting was even, both countering with lefts. Neither used the right with any effect. Ganz started in as if to finish his man in the eleventh, but Hawkins came back well. Hawkins was wild ana the colored lad let three or four openings pass by badly. Hawkins got in some stinging body blows in the twelfth, but Ganzevened up matters with left jabs on the tace. Hawkins came up for the thirteenth swinging bis left in all directions, but Ganz avoided him neatly and jabbed him hard on the body and jaw. It was Ganz’ round. There was a lot of vicious in-fighting in the fourteenth, of which Ganz had the best. Hawkins swung a swift left that found an opening on the jaw. Ganz re- turned with a corking left on the jaw that sent Hawkins staggering across the ring, but the Baltimore boy was fresh, The last round was a fast one. Dal dashed George to the ropes and. sent ina left on the face, but the latter came back smiling and jabbed his man several times. They were fighting when the bell rang. Most of the spectators had moved toward the doors, thinking there would be only one decision, and the astonish- ment was universal when the referee's fiat was announced. Many of the spec- tators thought that Genz should have been given the decision, but the bout was clearly and uninistakably a draw. pammnsetakls RACING AT FRESNO. But Two Events Decided at the County Fair—Daisy A and Bolivar the Winners. FRESNO, CaL., Oct. 6.—The race meet and County Fair under the management of the Fresno Jockey Club openea to-day. The attendance was good, but the day’s sport was not up to expectations. The fair had not assumed definite shape, the exhibitors beine at work arranging their displays. There were four events on the race pro- I gramme, but only twe came off on account of unavoidable delays. The five-eighths mile dash was lively and excited the talent considerably. The other event wasa dis- trict trot, which created considerable mer- riment on account of the lack of speed of two of the five horses. Bolivar was the winner and came under the wire three times out of the four heats well ahead of the ®hers. Five-eighths of a mile dash, Daisy A won, Jim Bozeman second, Don Pio Pico third. Time, 1:02.
