DEFIES HIS ACCUSERS.
GENERAL WEAVER Boards THE
LION IN HIS DEN.
He Speaks at Pulaski, Tenn, and Is Not
MoIssted-OnIy 1926 People Turned
Out to Hear His
PaIaver.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct, 8.-Gen. Jas.
B. Weaver, the Peoples party candidate
for president, spoke at Pulaski today.
Despite the rumor that he would be
badly treated for his alleged tyrannies
in that section during the war, the men
who made the affidavits about his cru
city remained away from the fair
grounds when General Weaver spoke,
and it is thought by some that this is
all that prevented the threatened trou-
BILE. About 100 people met the train on
which the General arrived. A procession
was formed Of 1877 people, led by band.
General Weaver rode in carriage with
Mrs. Lease and John Mcdowell, Peo-
pies party electOr. By actual count
only 325 people passed in the gates. Per-
feet order prevailed during the entire
day and during the speaking.
Weaver, in the course of his speech
referred to the charges made against
him as commander at Pulaski during
the war. He declared that not thing
done by him here was otherwise than in
accordance with the duties of military
commander at such time. He never
did one single thing charged, except the
levying of $4,000, which was for caring
for negro refugees.
In conclusion, he said: IT pronounce
the charges unqualified falsehoods. The
war is over. have come on mission
of fraternity. They said l dare not
come, knew dare come, and would
have come, had their threats been q
thousand times stronger.

DErECTED AGAIN.

A Conrict's Ingenious Attempt to Es-
cape frcm San Qaentin.
SAN QUENTIN, Cal, Oct. San ingeni-
GUS attempt at escape from prison was
discovered yesterday by the prison off,
cials, Peter Il. Hall. who in 1876 was
sentenced for life from, Tehama county
for murder, was detected in daring at
tempt to regain his freedom. He has
made many attempts before, but has al
ways been caught. About month ago
he was assigned to a cell in the second
!, tier of the cell house. The cells are
lined with, boiler iron, back of which is
a brick wall. Between the cells is q
ventilatop, extending up to the roof. By
sounding the walls, Hall found where
the ventilator was located. He stole
ratchet from the jute mill and bored
holes tArough the iron, and with impro-
vised chisels and files, removed section
11T by 141s inches. Then he COM
menced on tho brick work, and had ev-
erything ready for his escape when,
yesterday. the cell inspector, while tap
ping the walks with hammer, discov-
cred the work. For this attempt Hall
will be kept 180 days in solitary confine-
ment. He will have to sew certain
number Of grain bags per day. For each
day he does not sew the number re-
quired he will have to serve three more
days in the solitary cell.

yer dollar to make it equal in value to
the gold in gold dollar, Give the peo.
pie an honest dollar and thus settle the
silver question"
Speaking Of the Democratic principle
to repeal the 10 per cent tax on state
banks of issue, the senator said he was
amazed that any man, Democrat or Re-
publican, who has lived long enough to
know the truth or reed the history of
his country, could now be willing to
again open the doors to wildcat
money. The choice is between national
money, backed by the power and credit
OF the government, and exploded, re-
jected, prohibited and unconstitutional
bills of credit issued by local banks un-
der the authority Of A states, with
powers as diverse as the animal crea-
tion. The credit Of some of these states
is already impaired by reputation, and
some have their very limited resources
already crippled by debt.
In conclusion, Senator Sherman said
it is now the tendency OF the Democratic
party, dominated by the south, to re-
vive all the issues before the war,
except slavery and disunion, and de-
stroy all the achievements of the Re-
publican party, except the preservation
OF the union.

By the Associated Press
Topeka, Kan, Oct. S.-Ex-Senator
Ingalls, made his first speech in the pres
ent campaign here tonight, addressing an
audience of fully 5000 people. The ex-
senator was given a fattering reception
before and during his speaking.
The Populists have scattered circulars
around containing this quotation from
one of Ingalls, speeches delivered in the
senate just before Senator PETER WAS
elected to succeed him: 81 cannot for
bear to affirm that social system which
offers to virtuous and independent
women the alternative between prostitu-
ton and suicide as an escape from beg
gary, is organized crime. A financial
system under w hich more than half the
wealth OF the country, derived from the
bounty of nature and the labor of all, ia
owned by little more than $4,000 peo-
pie, while 100000 American citizens,
able and willing to toll, are hopeless
tramps, starving for bread, requires ad-
justment."
In an interview today the senator
said his observation of the industrial
and social systems abroad had confirmed
his belief in the theory of protection.
Referring to the belief entertained BY
some that he was not loyal to the Re.
publican principles, he said he had
been criticised on account of his utter
ances after the November election in
1890. He had nothing to take back. 1t
was not a Democratic victory nor
was it Republican defeat. 1t
was protest of the people
against existing conditions; cry for a
more equitable distribution of the
profits of the country's industry. In
saying this, he committed no treason to
the Republican party. He was the
greatest loser by the upheaval of 1890,
and has taken his medicine.
When asked If he desired to return to
the United States senate, Ingalls, replied {:
II say frankly and candidly, have no
more desire to 90, back to the senate
than have to go back to college. I
want no Office of any kind. / am out of
politics, and want to stay out"
Senator Ingalls, in the course of his
speech tonight, referring to the PEI 7le's
party platform, said there was one
| clause in it to which he could subscribe,
and that was that the animosities of the
war should be buried; that the states
could not be pinned together in
union with bayonets. He desired to
remind the Populists, however, that the
union could not be cemented by eggs.
The south would never be reconstructed
until General Weaver could speak with
as much freedom in Georgia as in Kan
sas.
Ingalls, urged the Republicans who
joined the Farmers Alliance movement
two years ago, to return to the Republi-
can party. A vote for Weaver was q
vote for Cleveland, and tLeir duty is
clear.

The Crafty Old Senator Speaks in Phil
adelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8.-Senator Sher-
man arrived here this afternoon and
was meet by a committee of the Manu-
facturers' club, who escorted him to a
hotel, where an impromptu reception
was held. This evening a large audi
ence assembled at the Academy of
Music, at meeting given under the
auspices OF the Manufacturers club.
Senator Sherman was the orator of the
evening and received an enthusiastic
ovation.
Senator Sherman said: ''For the first
time in the history of our country na-
tional party dares to proclaim that a
tariff for protection is unconstitutional
and fraud upon the laborer. This is a
bold declaration, as bold as the rebel
lion. and should be met by the American
yeople in the same spirit. There should
be no truce untll the issue is determined
by the voice of the American people.
The significant fact appears that the
resolution was voted against in the DEM
ocrat convention by the great producing
states of the north, and voted for by the
late confederate states; that, in sub
stance, it was raken from the confederate
constitution that it is in open opposi-
ton to the opinions and acts of the great
leaders of the Democracy, living and
dead"
The senator argued in support of the
Republican position, and SAID if that
party succeeds at the coming election,
the protective policy will be maintained
and the Mckinley law will only be
changed as the experience of time
demonstrates the necessity of amend
ment. IF the Democratic party sue
ceeds, we must be prepared for violent
changes in the tariff, without regard to
wages and the interests of labor and
capital"
Speaking of silver, the senator said
III the coinage of silver is made free,
then all the silver now in existence,
estimated at 1000, 900 900, and all here
after mined, amounting last year at the
coinage value to $18b, 900 600, and annu-
ally increasing, could be brought to our
mints and coined into dollars at the ex.
pense of the United States, and for the
benefit of the owners of silver. The
inevitable effect would be to reduce the
purchasing power of the dollar to 81
cents. The dollar of gold would then
disappear from circulation and be worth

The Great Spell Binder Accounts for the
Apathy OF. the Campaign.

Apathy OF the Campaign.
BROOKLYN, Oot 8.-Chauncey Depew
addressed about 5000 people at big
Republican mass meeting in the Glare.
mont avenue rink tonight. Depew was
greeted with tremendous applause when
he came on the stage.
"The apathy thus far displayed in the
campaign is DUE" he said, ''to wide
spread belief among the people, that,
no matter who is elected, the country
will be safe and prosperous. We have
now had 10 years without business dis
aster, and the prosperity of the country
is due to the application continued for
20 years of Republican principles. As
for that saying of the unthinking, that
the country will prosper, no matter
who is elected, if Cleveland is
elected, and backed by Democratic sem
ate and house, and the tariff laws
modelled on the Chicago platform baeis,
we will quickly be overwhelmed by
business disaster and financial ruin
Depew said he had made study of
the contrast between the wages of work
iDgmen in Great Britain and in this
country. and found that the English
wolkingmen received less than half the
wages of Americans in the same indus
tries. The objection that the difference
in wages was Offset by the cost of living,
he bad particularly investigated, and
defied contradiction when he asserted
that q dollar on this side will go as far
as dollar on the other side. Here the
workingman had on his table every day
that which the English workingman has
only once q week. The American work.
ingman sends his children to school, not
to workshop, and buys home.
Depew went on to speak of the adj
vantages from the Republican policy of
reciprocity, and closed with glowing
tribute to the standard bearers of the
Republican party.
