THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, O ) B e e e future of the United States. Nobody need have any appreheusions on that score. The United States is too great and to re- sourceful to have its progress impeded for any considerable length of time by any political purty. And this year we stand as in 1878 for the restoration of a protective policy. In | 1892, a year the most prosperous in our his- | tory, we were under a protective policy. Every man in this country who wanted to work could find work, and every man who; worked in this country in 1892 got better wages than he ever got in any other period of our history or in any other period of the world’s histsry. [Applause.] The farmers of this country had the best home market in the world; had more con- ! sumers than they had ever had before, and | had better paid consumers. But that has all changed. The advertisements in 1892 in the newspapers used to run “Mea Wanted.” The adverpsements that run in the newspapers to-day read “Situstions Wanted.” [Applause.] ) Our policy seeks to give & situation to every man of this country who wants work and the | policy of partial iree trade has put the work- ingmen in a situation which entails upen | them loss and upon every farmer of the coun- | Iry injury in his home market. j Now, what we want to do, my fellow-citizens, | this year is to stand by these great principles. | 1 make no personal appesl to you. Imake no mere party appeal to you. I1appeal to you in tue name of the country to give your votes this year to that party which you believe will subserve your high interests and promote the greatest prosperity to our common couhtry. [Applause and cries of “That’s what we are going to do.”] The next delegation was a big one from | Geauga County, Ohio, which is in the | heart of the Western Reserve. The spokes- man, Judge Danfield, said Geauga County had a smaller percentage of crime and il- literacy and a larger Republican’ vote in proportion to its population than any other county in Ohio. Major McKinley addressed them as follows: The people of Ohio have improved every opportunity that has presemied to them ) to add nonor to the American name and to | bring liberty and opportunity to the people. This State, in 1860, in the National Republi- can Convention which met in the city of Chicago, had two candidates for the Presi- dency. One was Salmon P. Chase and the | other was Benjamin Wade, both honored names in Ohio’s history, and both names that have added luster to the glory of our country. [Great applause.] When the third ballot was reached in that convention Mr. Lincoln led, and haa 231} votes. He lacked just 114 votes of being nom. nated for the Presidency of the United States. | It was at that critical moment that an Ohioan, David K. Carter, one Representative in Con- gre:s from our State, rose in his place and transferred four votes from Salmoun P. Chase | to Abraham Lincoln, and mede him the nomi- nee of the Republican party. [Greatcheering.] | Iam glad he did it. Some other State might have done it; some other State probably would have done it; but the fact remeins that Ohio did it, and helped to give to the country that immortal name. [Loud applause.] Ohio has been no Jaggard in the pathway of civilization; she has never hesitated before in any emergency; she nas never falien in any crisls; she has measured up to the highest op- portunity of responsibility and duty; she has never struck a blow except for human liberty. Ohio this year will neither pause nor ponder, but stand for country and couatry’s honor. [Cries of “That's right.”] The Republican party made the Union stronger than itever | had been before and it preserved to us and to our posterity the starry banner of the free. [Cheering.] Tt made the old war greenback | that traveled with the soldier on his marches ss good as gold and redeemsble in gold. [Loud applause.] It resumed specie payments | and has preserved the National honor unsul- led to this hour and given the Nation a credit | the like of which it never had before. Will | that party now take a step backward? Wil | the old party lower its Flag? [Cries of “Never, | never.”] | You want a doller that 1s worth a dollar; | you do not want a52-cent dollar. [Cries of | no; you betwe don’t”] They say to one audience that our dollars are too dear, and to another audience they say the new free-coin- | sge silver dollar will be just as gocd as the | present silver dollar. Now, if that is so itwill | be just as dear as the presentdollar. We want | good money in this country and we wantgood | morals iz this country and we want public | and private honesty ia this country. [Great | applause.] And we do not propose 10 be a Na- | tion of repudiators. |Tremendous applay I thank you, my feilow-citizens, for this call. It is an encouragement to the causeand itisan | inspiration to every Republican. [Cheers.] Major McKinley's last speech of the day | was made to & spirited and enthusiastic | delegation from West Virginia. The | spokesman was C. T. Caldwell of Parkers- | burg, W. Va. His speech was an uncom- | monly earnest and moving one. Major McKinley addressed the West Virginia | people as follows: The interests of West Virginia are identical | with the interests of every other section of our country. The interests of your State are iden- | tical with the interests of my State. They | have no divided interests. They are one and indivisible. Nolonger are they separated in interest or affection or fraternity By the un- happy events of thirty-five years ago. The | wounds then inflicted have been healed. The Ditterness then engendered has been as- | suaged. He spoke at some length on the tariff, concluding: We have tried experience, and we know that when we have been on the ship of experfence we sailed safely into port, and when we have taken the raft of experiment we have always | gone down. [Long and continued applause.] el B s ST THOUSANDS ARE TURNED AWAY. Great Crush at Music Hall in Cincinnati When Ex-President Harrison Speaks. CINCINNATI, Omo., Oct. 7.—Ovwer 20,000 people tried to hear ex-President Harrison speak at Music Hall to-night. Ten thousand succeeded; the balance were turned away. The meeting was charac- terized by the wildest enthusiasm through- out. Thomas McDougall, whose voice was hoarse from continued speaking, in- troduced Mr. Harrison, who said in part: I have had a suspicion for some timethat has been settled to-night. It is tnat itis not worth while trying to keep the Presidency out cf Ohio, Governor McKinley, who was named by the Republican convention at St. Louis for President, is 8 man whose personal character is irreproachable. His is not the arduous greatness of things sald butof things done. [Ap- Pplause. Therel is & general concurrence now in the fact that we are not living in good times and a remedy must be applied. The remedy I'e.dpropose is this: thata har- monious, weli-sdjusted revenue-producing and protective tariff shall be substituted for that in force at present. We propose that the revenuesof the Government shail be made adequate to meet expenditures. We propose that the necessity for bond seles to replenish e diminished treasury and to restore a wasted gold reserve shall be remedied by filling the treasury with adequate revenue. [Applause.] We propose that the money of the country— every aollar of it—shall be kept at a parity ‘with other dollars. What do our Democratic friends offer? Free silver. This would help the producer of silver bulljon. Mr. Bryan has admitted that the siiver miner would get what he cailed an “4ncidental benefit” from having 50 cents worth of bullion coined intos dollar. Itis a direct benefit. These great stock companies, these bouanza miners who have grown enor- mously rich, reap the benefit. The Demo- cratic party has entered into a career so widely separated from the old lines that every prominent man who has had a hand in their councils has deserted them, —_—— WILL PALMER WITEDRAW?Y Xeport Thatthe Gold Democratic Ticket Will Be Pulled Down, GRAND RAPIDS, Mics., Oct. 7.—In an interview here to-day Colonel W.

BATAN ENDS B T0UR OF WO Addresses a Multitude in a Big Open Lot at Hammond. Accuses Employers Amcng His Opponents of Resorting to Coercion. A SIGN DOCWN IN NASHVILLE. “If Our Employes Don’t Vote as They Pleas: We’ll Discharge Them.” CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 7.—W. J. Bryan finished his Indiana campaign at Ham- mond this evening and reached Chicago shortly before 10 c’clock to-night. Hi stay here was short, for in thirty minutes he was on board the Burlington train bound for Burlington, Iowa, where he speaks to-morrow. 2 The union station was jammed with people to-night when the candidate’s train arrived, but the crowd was not admitted de the iron fence and Mr. Bryan escaped any inconvenience from over- crowding. In response to cheers Mr. Bryan showed hims:lf for a few minutes, but did not speak. Tha candidate ap- peared to be in the best of health. A vast audience, numbering between 15,000 #nd 20,000, greeted Mr. Bryan at Hammond. 7 o’clock, and after supper was escorted to the scene of the meeting, a big open lot. He was greeted with tremendous enthusi- asm. He spoke in part as follows: I understand that some employers—I do npt know whether they have done it here—have tried to convinee their employes that under free coinage their pay would ouly be half as much as whet they now get. I want to call your attention to one thing. If under free coinage your dollars will oniy buy half as muen that means that your employers would get twice as much for what they produce— twice as many dollars—as they do Dow; ana if your employers get twice as many dollurs as they do now then they can pay vou twice as many dollars for your wages as they do now, if they love you as well after election as they seem to love you now, before election, when they want your votes, [Great applause and laughter.] But, my friends, instead of resorting to ar- gument, some of the employers have resorted o coercion. [Applause and eries of “That’s s0!”’] That is, they have attempted to make their employes think as they want them to think. Ieaw a sign down in Nashville, Tenn., and 1 wish you would remember this sign, stretched o these words: f our employes don’t vote as they please we will discharge them.” My | friends, that is right kind of & sign t0 have. Instead of saying that if their empioves don’t vote as the managers want them they | will discharge them, tieso employers ought o put up the sign that they had in Tennessee. {Laughter end applause.] My firiends, I recognize that in thiscame paign we have great influences against us. I Tecognize that our opponents are able to col- lect enormous campaign iunds. I recognize that they are able (0 carry great excursions to their candidate. But I Welieve that when I come to the people themselves instead of hav- ing them sent to me L can present our cause and appeal to the hearts of the American peo- ple. [Applause and ;cheering.] I believe that | our cause is just,and that the people of this country cannot be corrupted by a large cam- paign fund. Neither can they bé intimidated by their employers. Our hope of victory lies not in a corruption fund, not in the employ- ment of force, but in an honeat appealto the unpurehesed and unpurchasable voiers of the | United States. [Cheering. 1 am aware, my friends, that they may threaten to take your privileges from you, but remember that “the iaboring men of this country have secured the Australian ballor system and tyranny stands outside while the voter goes inside. [Applause.] My friends, I have not come to ask the vote of any man; I have not come to tell you how to cast that vote; I come simply to present our cause. I b ve we are right. 1 believe the poiicies for which we stand mean peace aud prosperity to the great masses of the people of this country. [Applause] And if you so believe I ask you | 10 record your vote with us. I beg you to study this question and make your vote mean exactly what you think your vote ought to mean. Mr. Bryan made speeches at Tipton, Noblesville and several other places en route from Indianapolis to Hammond. At Logansport he addressed two meeting-. On the arrival of his special train at the latter place he was escorted by brass bands and silver clubs to the residence of Judge Davia D. Dykeman, where the can- didate, Governor Matthews, J. G. Shank- tin, National Committeeman from Indi- ana, John W. Tomlinson of Alabama and the other mempers of the party were en- tertained at luncheon. The first speech took place at Riverside Park, where the audience numbered about 15,000. Near the stand from which Mr. Bryan spoke a delegation of old soldiers was gathered, and the candidate referred to their pres- ence in his speech, The assemblage was very enthusiastic. He spoke in part as follows: It gives me great pleasure to be permitted to address the citizens of this place, and I desire to express my special thanksto those veter- ans of the war who have so kindly taken part in the exercises to-day. attendance of these war veterans. The inter- ests of the soldier will be safe in the hands of those who are fighting as important a battle o-d they fought years ago. [Great cheer- .]” For, my friends, it is as important to a ion that it shall not be subjected to the dic- on of any foreign power s it is that we shall preserve it as & nation among ourselves. In fact I comsider thie young men of to-day who are too young to have shown their love of _country upon the battlefieid. I consider them fortunate in having aun op- portunity to prove not only their love of coun- iry, but their love of mankind by beating off this invader from abroad. The gold standard is not an American idea. It was never ac- cepted by our people; it was brought into this country in the dark and without discussion and has never in asingle eampaign received the support of any party. [Applause.] If you people believe that times are as good as they could be, if you believe our present financisl system is good and ought to be con- tinied, then, my friends, you ought to vote the Republican ticket; but’if you are dissatis- fied with present conditions, if you are dissat- isfied with our present financial system, if you believe it can improved, you -have got to secure that improvement from those who want to change it, not from those who want to keep it as it is. The Republican mgnager’'s idea of circula- tion 1s to circulate & large amount of money just before election in order to contract the curreney right after election—and the Repub- lican manager claims that he is the advance agent of prosperity. [Laughter.] My friends, I am afraid the chairman of the Republican National Committee is the fore- runner of the advance agent of that peculiar form of prosperity that comes just before an election to those who expect to make enough now to run them until the next campaign. [Great cheering.] The second speech was made froma stand at the corner of Fifth and North streets, People were massed in both thoroughfares in its vicinity, and great difficulty was experienced 'in getting Mr. Bryan through. At the conclusion of the speech Mr. Bryan was escorted to his train by a cheering multitude, and at@:20 left for Hammond. On his journey from Logknlport to Hammond Mr., Bryan spoke at Crown Point, FOR MoKINLEY AND HOBART. President Garland of the Trom and Steel Workers Dectares Himaelf.

Democratic Misstatements ~ of Facts Answered at the Western Repub- lican Headquarters. CHICAGO, Imn, Oct. 7.—Hon. W.T. Durbin, a member of the National Repub< lican Committee for Indiana and in charge also of Michigan, bas recently re- turned from the last named state. Of the outlook Mr. Durbin said *‘We are well pleased with the situation in Michigan and have no doubt that the final results will be largely in our favor. ‘We want to add to this general victory by electing twelve Republican Congressmen and feel that this will be done, The Re- publican campaign is in excellent shape all over the Middle West and I am practi- cally assured that McKinley will be chosen in Indiana, my native State, where every- thing is working nicely. In Illinois, as well as Iowa, Winconsin and Minnesota, the prospects are most favorable. Itisa | wonderful campaign and the changein | sentiment is marvelous.”’ A morning_paper published to-day a special from New York which represented | Mr. Hanna as having lost confidenge in the result of the election in tne Midale States. At headquarters this report was received with smiles. Mr. Payne said he would preier to see the statement over | Mr. Hanna's own signature than to re- ceive it through a newspaper. Mr. Hanna and the Western headquarters were i full accord and were not worrying. Denying a statement alleged to have been made by the Democratic managers that the Obio Farmer, an agricu!tural paper of Cleveland, Ohio, had been offered | $10,000 by Mr. Hanna to ‘work for the gold | standard, a builetin issued from Repub- lican headquarters to-day says: A letter has just been received here, ad- dressed to Mr. Haona, signed by M. G. La: rence, vresident of the Ohio Farmer Publish- ing Company, saying: ““You or your associates may have noticed that several Bryan papers in Alichigan, Obio and elsewhere have becn publishing the re- ports and statements that you offered our | paper $10,000 for reading-matter space. hardly know whether the thing is worth the | attention, but [ will say very plainly that you nor any one repre-enting you has said a word | to us on the subject, and you can suthorize vour publication company t0 make whatever use they may see fit to meke of this publica- tion. O ST DEMOCRATIC CONFIDENCE. Managers Claim That Bryan's Election Is Practically Assured. | CHICAGO, Irn, Oct. 7.—The Demo- cratic managers evince even greater con- fidence in the result of the campaign as | the time for work grows sherter. In the| official bulletin issued to-day it is stated that the reports received at headquarters impress upon the mansgers that the elec- | tion of Bryan is practically assured, al- | though no efforts will be spared alo :g the | line to make that majority safeand render it larger. From Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, | Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa come re- | ports of the most flattering nature. The managers of Michigan are as sure of that | State as they are that Texas and Coloraao { will go "for Bryan. Similar assurances come from Minnesota, while Chsirman Wall of Wisconsin expresses equal confi- dence that his State will be safely in the Bryan column. “From Ohio,” continues the bulletin, “‘comes a report that the McKinleyites are on the run; that the farmers and | miners have come over to Bryan in a body and that his majority in that State wiil be not less than 25,000. Indiana is in | line, a poll of that State showing that | Bryan’s majority will be not less than 120,000 and may go as high as 30,000, | From Iowa comes reports that the Democrats will sweep nearly every county in the central and wes:ern portions of the State. The Council Bluffs Congressional | district, always a Republican stronghold, will give Bryan a large majonty.’’ Illinois is cisimed by majorities both in { Chicago and ontside the city. Every re- putable organization, it is.asserted, is for Bryan. the 60,000 votes in the ranks of organized labor in this city 35,000 are claimed for Bryan. it ARTHUR 15 KOR McKINLEY. | : | Grand Chief of the Emgineers’ Brother- Moot Drfines His Position, NEW YORK, N.

They Map Out a Good Deal of Vigorous Campaign Work. CANTON, Omnro, Oct.7.—M. A. Hanna came to Canton from Cleveland this even- ing and left for Chicago at 9:30. He spent the time in discussing the campaign with Major McKinley. The candidate and the chairman discussed the conduct of the campaien in all parts of the country. Mr. Hanna repeated his expressions of confi- dence in the situation in the East, and he said he felt there would be no further need of his presence thers. He saia that the speaking campaign was to be carried on more vigorously than ever in all so~ called “‘doubtful” States. A good deal of active work for the South was mapped lmu by Major McKinley and Mr, Hanna. rmelsnt circular is a LINCOLA-DUGLIS TABLET ORVELLED Knox College Homors the Memeory of the Joint Debaters. A Galesburg Celebration Which Has Been Under Way for a Year. CHAUNCEY DEPEW'S ORATION Sodiers’ Monument Unveiled by Hon. " Robert T. Lincoln—Political Speaking at Night. ?ALESBURG, Irr., Oct. 7.—Knox Col- 1ége to-day honored the memory of Lin- col and Douglas by the unveiling of a bronze tablet commemorate of the thirty- eighth anniversary of the Lincoln-Doug- las joint debate. Preparations for this cel- ebration have been under way for a year and a large crowd was present to witness the exercises. During the morning a beautiful soldiers’ monament in Hope Cemetery was un- veiled. Shortly after 10 o’clock a parade composed of the local G. A. R. passed throngh the streets and was reviewed in the public square by the Mayor, Chaun- cey M. Depew, Senator Palmer and other distiguished guests. The, procession then marched to Hope Cemetery, where the monument was unveiled by the Hon. Rob- ert T. Lincoln. As the monument was un- veiled it was saluted by a number of rounds of cannon. Hon Robert T. Lin- coln then delivered the address. He said in part: = The question debated here in 1858 was one as 10 which it now seems almost ineredible that there could have been opposing parties, and yet that question caused the longest and most bitter war of modern times. Human slavery had been protected by the laws of the United States in fifteen States of the Union. The Republican party was formed by those who believed slavery'to be a heinous wrong to the enslaved and economicaliy injurious to the community in which it existed, but the party was formed not to attack slavery in the States where it was then lawful, but to pre- vent its extension into other States. The can- didate of that party was elected President in 1860, and as chief magistrate he was at once confronted by the attempted secession from the Union of at iirst seven but soon eleven States, with a population of 5,500,000 whites and 3, slaves, In spite of the most solemn and the most authoritative assurauces to the contrary the people of the seceding States clalmed that their rights and property were menaced by the new sdministration; they formed & separate Government as 8 nation; created armies; dey stroyed all National property within their limits and defied the consiiiution and the laws of the Union. Suddenly the worid saw the uprising of a great people. Before the little garrison of Fort Sumpter had marehed from its ruined walls a proclemation was drawn by the President calling for 75,000 soldiers to suppress the insurrection, but ere there was time (o issue it there came to him to piedge the earnest support of his great ability and widespread influence in re-establishing the authority of the National Goyernment the freat Democratic lesder who had been his ife-long political ““imm' Stephen A. Dougles. 1n the perilof the Republic the con- tentions of Demo and Republicanism were by him and the President put aside, and for the first time in their lives they clasped hands as allies in & publio cause. And now let us dedicate this monument to the memory of these patriotsof Galesburg and to patriotism. The reflectionsof more than thirty years have turned the once bitterly werring streams of sentimentinto one broad river, on whose current is borne in safety and in glory the ship of Btate, and no one lives under the protection of its flag who does not at heart rejoice that the rock of disunion was exploded from its path and the canker of human slavery toru from its framework. The event of the day took place shortly after 1 o’clock. A reception committee, composed of the sophomore class of Knox College and a number of prominent citi- zens, escorted Mr. Depew, Mr. Lincoin and Senator Palmer lonlarfe platform, which had been erected in front of the college. After music by the Knox College cadet band an address of welcome was de- livered by Colonel Clarke E. Carr. This was followed by an address by C. E. Nash, president of Lombard University. The nnnlvursnrflomlinn was then delivered by Chauncey M. Depew. In opening his address Mr, Depew re- cited the conditions under which Lincoln and Douglas fought thirty-eight years ago. The apparent_contest, he said, was the statehood of Kansas, but both the orators and the people knew that the tremendous issue was between freedom ana slavery, the dissolution of the Union or its perpetuity. He continued: The compromise of 1820, by declaring ail of the new territory north of parallel 36.30 iree and all south slave and admitting Missouri, which was north, as ave State, was grate- fully accepted, But the crisis, as always with the threat of secession behind it, became acuie and was once more tided over by the compromises of 1850. By these measures slavery secured National recognition of the institution at the capital and the enactment of the fugitive slave law, but the Union saved was regarded by the vast majority as well worth this sacrifice of honor, morality and liberty. The convention of 1852 met to nominate a President. Webster’s famous speech had been of incalculable service to the South in carry- ing its measures through Congress, but it had destroyed his availability with the North. He was défeated, sand the greatest statesman of the century died of disappeintment and mor- tification. : The war with Mexico had added an enor- mous area of territory to the National do- main. The North, absorbed in diversified in- dustries and material development, paid littie heed to the future, but the South, recognizing the growing hostility to its institutions, formed the plan of a permanent balance of power. This was to be accomplished by ad- mitung no free State unless one which recog- nized slavery came in at the same time. Then, with the Senate equally divided between iree and slave States, slavery would be forever sale from bostile iegislation. To accomplish this the Missourl compromise must be repealed. The South grew daily more threatening and the North more sensitive. To the man who could bridge this chasm and fool the North as it had been so often successfully hoodwinked before and satisfy the alert and clear-purposed South the Presidency was cer- tain. Stephen A. Douglas, a statesman of 1 finite resources, courage and ambition, unde: took the task. He adroitly put the abolitions ists of the North and the fire-eaters of the South in the category of disunionists and then bid for that conservative support which al- ays conirols in great crises. t the people of all seclions go as they list with their property,whether chattels or siaves, into the Terriiories,” he said, “and when the nrlod of statehood arrives they can decide by llot whether they will recognize or exclude slavery, or chely may determine the questin 10n the Territorial Legislatures.” his remedy captivated the public mind, but started a race between the free andslave State people to capture Kansas. ‘Bold raiders {rom Missouri poured over the border, carry- ing murder and pillage smong free-State settlers. Civil war with ail its horrors raged on the plains of Kansas. The slave power, entrenched in the White House and Congress, the courts, and repeatedly and recently sus- tained in the elections, felt confident that ex- treme measures for securing Kansas could be safely pushed. With the whole strength of the administration behind the conspirators, the Lecompton cohstitution fastening slavery ol;) the :w' ::u ‘was fraudulently adopted. ouglas alone, of ihe aders, opposed this and demanded that the constitu- tion should be submitted to the rorle of Kansas. Douglas was hailed by the Northern party as its savior, but the Ored wing of the Seott demolished his beautiful fabric of squatter m'"fi‘{; and a less resourceiul or w:ahr man woi ave been buried in i ‘were the political conditions when entered the lists for re-election to the Democratic les Such Doug! flfllfi“ | indication the Chicago day parades will JTOBER 8, 1896. ~way, and with such_ tremendous force and su- rb ability that his effort consolidated the ree sentiment of the country, abolished slav- ery and sa Union. That man was Abrabam Lincoln. Mr. Depew followed with a concise his- tory of Lincoln’s life, and showed how thoroughly he wasin sympathy with the movement to abolish slavery., He re- counted at leneth the vigorons campaigns made by the two great leaders which cul- minated in the history-making debate at Galesburg thirty-eizht years ago to-day, dwelt upon the characteristics of the two debaters, and showed with consummate skill the points of each and ti.eir modes of attack. The famous passages at arms by the two great men were rehearsed and the well-remembered words were cheered to the echo. In closing Mr. Depew said: Upon this platform and on this very spot thirty-eight years ago to-day stood these intel- lectual athletes. Neither they nor the vast audlence which enjoyed their thrust and par- ries, cheered their effective blows and were entranced by their eloguence know how rap- idly they were mnking%ls(ory; how ably they ‘were preparing the most impertant chapter in the storw of the nineteenth century. It was the battle eternally going cn, ‘‘often lost, but never won,” between principle and expedis ency. Lincoln was tall, gaunt, awkward and home= ly, with a high, penetrating voice which reachea easily to the utmost limits of the crowd. Dougias was short, corpulent and dig- nified, with the grace and courtesy of Senato- rial association, and spoke with deep tones and slow enunciation, as if every word was weighted with an important argument. Doug- las was the more adroit debater, Lincoln the more ardent reasoner. Douglas could cap- ture the erowd by those courtesies fo his opponent behind which he misrepresented his position, while Lineoin, untrained to corupli- ment, grew resentful and harsh at these suc- cessful falsificatio Lincoln could lift his audience by a passionate appeal to their better nature for the slave, for justice and for lib- erty. Douglas was always the fighter and de- bater. Lincoln consciously and Douglas unconsciously were preparing the people of the free States for the saerifices of civil war and the preservation of tbe National life. It is 1o the eternal honor and glory of Douglas thatwhen the war broke out the partisan be- came a patriot and gave to his life-long antag- oni:l. President Lincoln, his unqualified sup- port. The famous controversy over the “house divided against itself,” nowhere discussed more bitterly than here on this platform, ended at Appomattox. The house did not fali, but it did become “all free.”” The New South, the peopled West, the enriched Eastand the prosperous North can calmly review the is- sues which so radically divided them in the past and reverently thank God thatin the final Confliet and its settlement the leaderof the forces of union and liberty was the great- hearted, broad-souled, wise-brained man of love and country—Abraham Lincoln. Hon. Robert T. Lincoln delivered a brief address, whien was followed by the un- veiling of the tablet. The tablet is of bronze with raised letters, and is about 18x24 inches in size, The inscription com- memorative of the debate is as follows: This memorial tablet is placed here to recall the joint debate between Abraham Lincoln and sughen A, Dau;lu. whose words these walls echoed October 7, 1858. ‘““Equality smong tbe different States is a cardinal prineiple upon which all our institu- tions rest.”—Douglas. “He is blowing out the moral lights around us who contends that whoever wants slaves has a right tojiold them.”—Lincoln. The unveiling address was then deliv- ered by Senator Palmer. After the exercises a reception was held at the college until 6 o’clock, and to-night the greatest political demonstration of the year was held in honor of Chauncey M. Depew, who addressed a crowd of 10,000 in the larze tent recently erected by the Republicans. Preceding the address there was a parade participated in by 5000 peo- ple from different parts ot the country. | Mr. Depew spoke for more than’two | hours. The speech from beginning to end was a8 most logical one. The speaker was frequently interrupted by applause and he arraigned Mr. Brvan and some of his statements regarding the benefits of free silver to the workingmsan of the country. The address was one of the best ever de- livered in this city. RESUMING WORK AT LEADVILLE. Fortifications Nearly Completed—Imported Men Are Daily Arriving—No Show for Union Mihers. LEADVILLE, Coro., Oct. 7.—With all possible. speed the managers of the big mines are completing their fortifications and making preparations to resume work. Tney are going to operate the mines against ali combined resistance of the other side and positively assert that no man who insists on being a member of the union can find employment on their properties. Tuey say they have had applications from quite a number of them, who on ac- count of active connection with the union ave been refused. But the union is help- ing them cut on thisline, and union officers are using every means to keep not only union, but non-union men away from the mines. The Little Johany has sixty men at work to-day, the Emmett about ninety, the Bson and Chip about thirty, the Mahala fifteen and the Resurrection fif- teen. Another lot of men are beingim- ported and likely to arrive Friday, but no definite information can.be learned. AT E ITWO MONSTER PARADES, How Chicago Proposes to Celebrate the Big Fire Anniversary. CHICAGO, I, Oct. 7.—From every be the greatest pageants of their kind, or in point of numbers of any kind, ever seen in this city, noted as it is for civic and mélitary demonstrations. Chicago day, which commemorates the burning of the city, is to be celebrated on Friday, the twenty-filth anniversary of the great fire, by a stupendous parade of Republicans and anti-silver Democrats in the morning and afternocn, and another demonstration by the Democrats and other advocates of free eoinage of silver in the evening. The first parade is to start at 10 o’clock, and it is estimated that seven bours will be required for the marchers to pass a given point, although the marching will be in close order and at a rapid pace. The night parade is expected 1o vie with that of the gold advocates in point of number and enthusiasm, so there will be little cessation of music and cheering hosts from early morning till late at night. On a stand in front of the Palmer Hotel the Presidential candidates of the Indianapolis convention will be seated. It is confidently predicted that the strangers in the city will exceed in num- ber even tbe crowds that thronged Chicago during the World’s Fair. aie DA B VENUS AND MERCURY. Interesting Discoveries Made at the Lowell Obser: ”Y. BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 7.—An official dis- patch from Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Ariz.,, announces that the astronomers there have discovered that the plunets Mercury and Venus rotate each of them on its axis during its revolution around the sun. These planets have each of them therefore only one day in each of their ears. ¥ The Lowell observers find further that Venus is not cloud coverad, as has been supposed, but has about it a thick atmos- phere, while Mercury | as none, e s .

EL PASO, Texas, Oct. 7.—Governor Ahumada of the Btate of Chihuanua will arrive in Juarez to-morrow, accompanied by his staff and the Eleventh Cavalry band of Mexieo, to officiate at the driving of the first spike on the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific Railroad Company.

KENTUCKY VEERING AROUND. Republicans Make Large Gains in the Registration—The Georgia * Election. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., Oct. 7.—Official returns from the State election are just coming in, the count, owing to the length of the ballot, not” being completed in the larger counties until this afternoon. The returns indicate a very light vote and a heavy Democratic loss as compared with 1892, Complete rerurns from thirteen out of 145 counties give Bloxbam (D.) for Gov- ernor, 8788; Gunby (R.) for Governor, 2044; Weeks (Pop.) for Governor, 820. The same counties in 1892 gave Mitchell (D.) 11,629 and Basking (Pop.) 1391. If the same ratio obtains in other counties the Democratic vote will be about 24,600, a loss of about 8000 as compared with 1892, Nineteen counties complete give Blox- ham (D.) 13,945, Gunby, (R.) 4,220 and Weeks (Pop) 1822. The same countiesin 1892 gave Mitchell (D.) 16,011, Baskin (Pop.) 2714. GEORGIA’S ELECTION. Democrats Believed to Have Carried Tom Watson’s District. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 7.—Reports to the Constitution from all parts of the State indicate that Atkinson’s (D.) majority for Governor will exceed 35,000, with the possibility that it will go over 40,000. The majority for the remainder of the State ticket will largely exceed that of Atkinson. Atkinson’s loss as compared with the remainder of the State ticket this year is attributable to several complications. In the first place, hisopponent, Wright, made a vigorous personal campaign against him, appealing to Prohibitionists, Atkin- son baving made a local campaign. Reports from every section of the State show largely increased Democratic ma- jorities over the votes of two years ago. Fulton County, in which Atlanta is lo- cated, will give Atkinson 11,000 majority, and his majority in this Congressional district will be nearly 5000. The Demo- cratic majority in Richmond County will be over 3000. Reports indicate that the Democrats have carried the Tenth District, whicn is the stronghold of Populism in Georgia, Thomas E. Watson, Populist candidate for Vice-President, living in this distriet. In an election riot at El Norton this morning Will Mayfield shot and killed Bud Sanders and escaped. Tom Wall shot and /seriously wounded J. G. Swift. All were white. —_— GREAT REPUBLICAN GAINS. Healthy Indications From the Registra- tion Throughout Kentuoky. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 7.—Returns from the first two day’s general registra- tion show great Republican gains. Especially is this true in Louisville and the largar towns of the State. 1t is an easy matter to get the preferences of voters in this State owing to the primary law. In order to participate in primaries each voter when he registers must declare his party affiliations. The silver and the gold Democrats are each registering as “Demo- crats,’’ so their separate strength cannot be estimated. In this city the Republi- cans lead in every ward except the Seventh. Frankfort, the State capital, gives a Republican increase of ninety-uine over last year. The registration closes to- morrow evening at 9 o’clock. elondit iy REED SPEAKS AT BOSTON. Compares the 'Silver Agitation With the Greenback Craze That Upset the Country in 1878. BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 7.—A grander pub- lic meeting was never held in Boston than that which greeted Hon. Thomas B. Reed in Music Hall to-night. Not only was every sezt taken, but the aisles were oc- cupied as much as the police would per- mit. The occasion of the demonstration was the ratification of the Republican ticket. Henry Cabot Lodge and Acting Governor Wolcott were the speakers an- nounced. The presiding officer was W. C. Lovering of Taunton. He introduced as the first regular speaker of the evening Acting Governor Wolcott, who was cordially greeted. Acting Governor Wolcott was followed by Senator Lodge, who was given a hearty reception. Hon. Thomas B. was the last speaker. He said in part: ‘We do not need to talk of protection, for this country by three eiections, each more decisive than the other, has practically decided that ques'ion. Butthe main question now before us_is the silver question. Even Mr. Bryan calls a truce on the tariff, though he earncstly desired and vigerously fought fora worse one than we now have. This discussion we are now having is born and bred in the depressed condition of public an¢ fflvau affair: It has come upon us like the greenback agi- tation of 1878. It had the same causes, and in my judgment will have the same fate. With the rising tide of business in 1879, which fol- lowed specie resumption, greenbackism dis. appeared from the face of the earth, perhaps never again to reappear. In like manner, when this eleetion is over and business re- vives, this question of free coins; by the United States single-handed and alone will disappear from public and private dis enqusalex;‘y safely thy argue the money questio upon the fact that what the cnla-{g nc:&dl': dates and platform ask us to do is to leave the fold standard, not for a double standard, but or another single standard, and that a lower one.

How can such companies pay the beneficiaries in any money they do not get themselves? Eight millious and a half of men are insured in thirty-five companies alone. Nearly 2,000,000 more are insured in the small benefit associations. This beautiful business of reducing debts one-half will strike 10,000,000 men. Worse than that; in time 1t will strike 30,000,000 women and n. PRSI Regarded as a Joke.
