try.
Indianapolis, IgD, Sept. Tex
Governor Hendricks divered forcihle
address on the issues of the campaign |
before large and enthusiastic audience
at Muncle, Ind, yesterday.
Mr.. Hendricks uenced by alu
ding to the fact that for. about twenty
five years the republican party has con-
trolled the a administrative and executive
affairs Of the country, during which
time there have been enormous sums OF
money collected and paid out. Tne his
tory Of those transactions, ne said, is
found In MANY thousands Of volumes,
and they were recorded by men beloue-
ing exclusively to the republican party,
and Tor that reason he asked his hearers
whether there should not be change of
administration. so that the people NIGH
know whether The books have been Cor
rectlv kept or otherwise. The sneaker
said he did d vt expect or desire that al
the rheh in Office will be turned out -
|
office holder had discharged bis duties
conscientiously he was not in favor of
such man being dismissed from Office
He asked, however, that honest men
shall be placed in o!liee sufficiently nu-
merdus to give the people OF the coun-
try information in regard to their affairs.
THE MItLtoks IN THE TREA' tRf.
Continuing, Mr.. Hendricks called at
tention to the recent boast of republi-
can candidate that the party ih power
have $40o, 900 600 in the Treasury, and
said it was not fortunate condition OF
the country to have the Treasury over
flowing with the peoples money. The
tamount of money the republicans claim
to bave in the Treasury is more than
one half OF the paper currency of the
country, and he asked his hearers how
thev liked the idea Of having S400, ,0C0,-
600 OF their money locked Up. He in.
qnired as to what would he the effect ii
taxes were reduced so thu this money
would come back into the pockets of the
people and into the channels of trade ?
| Mr. Hendricks reminded his auditors
! that four years ago, when times were
better than thev are now, when wheat
was worth 81 20 bushel, the repuhli-
can speakers came to them AMI asked
them to "let we'll enough alona," aad to
that appeal the people listened.
BUSINESS LANauIsHING.
He then called attention to the pres.
en-. depressed state Of business, as seer
On every hahd-.m ,nafactores dischar-
ging their operatives, furnaces putting
out their fires, mines shutting down and
business failures increasing in numbers
sll over the cnu try. He askei bow
could it be otherwise when there Is an
enormous portion OF the peoples cur
rencv locked up in the vanlts of the
Treasury. II that money were sent out
into the channels of trade, he said, wheat
will not sell at begging market for six.
ty-tWo cents, ssventy-two cents and sew
enty-eight cents bashel God wrote
it in the early days Of our race taat man
should earn his bread by the sweat OF
his brow, b1t there are some nov who
cannot get employment to earn their
bread.

RrPuRL,c,N DIFFICULTIES.

The republicans, said the speaker, do
not say now, "let we'll enough alone"
for it is not well enough. They do not
expect any m re to get the votes OF tue
natives Of this country, those that were
born here; they have pretty much given
up our German citizsns; they have pref
ty much gwen up the Swedes and the
Danes. an I he believed they have come
down hard and heavy on our Irish fel
low citizens When they have come to
the conclusion that they can not get Irish
voters they are pretty much gone up
themselves, it will be pretty much of a
disappointment when November comes
around.
Mr. Hendricks paid a glowing tribute
to Governor Cleveland, appealed to HE
fellowicitiAsns in behalf of himself and
the heal Of the ticket for their votes on
election day and predicted State and
national triumph for the partv.

unreliable sources, | deem it my duty
to myself and friends to offer to the
public another and true version of the
unfortunate affair, so far as / am con-

that my friends-in company were at

went in quest OF my associates, whom

Shortly after my being there, l was

while conversing with her, an officer

began striking the woman, and, event
ually, kicked her out of the door,
and across the street to the house kept
by Laura Hall. Hearing the continued
screams of the woman, several, in
cluding myself, remarked: HE should

summoned an officer to arrest the man

by the officer that | accompanied, but

some one taking it up. There was a

record in BaStrop, / shall only state
two items of testimony already sworn

kill Harry Taylor that day. The sec
ond item is that on the morning after
the murder, when Walter was lording
it over ElQin, he was asked by a res

Taylor? He replied she did not know"
These words stamp the act as cold

that Walter Miles would never. be

cate and invent such stories as might
excuse, in the eyes of the law, the
| foulest crime, and money in the hands
of INSCRIPTIONS men was all power
full in suborning witnesses to prove
whatever the lawyer, bought by their
money, would say was necessary to
prove, and they had the money
and were the men who knew
how and when to use it. No wonder
he thought Walter would escape pun
ishment, and is not Walters letter the
first of the Inventions thread upon
which are to be strung the proofs
which are to help him escape the
meshes of the law? Time will show
whether or not his dying declaration
was prophetic.
Now l close this feeble attempt to
vindicate my sons character from I'M
just charges. He has sacrificed his
life; must his good name go to-with
none to raise voice in favor of truth
and justice? No! not while live.
