and scarcely standing room was obtain

Mr. Carlin said that while he might

principles Of democracy in advocating
the election of the gallant standard
bearers. Cleveland and Stevenson. He
then took up the force bill. and in an
able mamie, rointed out the degrade
tiou which must ensue TO the people OF
The South if such an infamous measure
should be enacted, and clearly showed
that it was the intention of the republi-
can party TO legislate such Il measure
through Congress if again placed in
power. He also demonstrated the out
rageous inequalities of the so-callcd
protective tariff, and showed conclus-
lively that its only effect had been to
impose hardships and increased taxes
upon the workingman for the benefit OF
she rich, and urged the poor man to
stop and think and read and he would
see clearly that the only hopes he could
possibly have for improving his condi-
lion were in the support Of the demo
cratic platform and the election of the
candidates of the democratic party, who
would reduce taxation by cheapening
che necessaries of life and restore har-
1nony to all sections of the country.
Mr.. Eugene B. Taylor was next in

list the close attention of his hearers by

A MAN wITHABRoKEN NECK.
Boston Police Arrested Him and Thought
He Was Only Drunk.

BosToN, November There was Pc
culiar case recorded on the blotter of
Deputy Superintendent Burrill at police
headquarters this morning. It tells of
man who, according to the police, was
arrested with broken neck. He was
put in cell for several hours and then
because he groaned was attended by a
physician who found the fatal injury.
The mans name is John Lyons. He is
23 years of age and lived at 2 Grove
street, East Cambridge. He was arrest
ed by officers in station 2 last night for
drunkenness. When found in the morn
ing nearly dead the officers said he must
have had his broken neck last night.
Just before his arrest he fell from a
wagon aud notwithstanding the serious
injury, the police did not find ont any
thing about it until $50 o'clock this
morning and then only because he
groaned in his cell. When DR.. Elliot ar
rived at the station he realized the ex-
tent of the injuries and ordered the mans
removal to the City Hospital.

AT THE coUNTRY's CALL,
The Inspector General Says North and
South Would Fly to Arms.

WASHINGTON, November 1.-The in
spector general today submitted to
the War Department an additional re-
port of the operations of his department,
in conjunction with that already rend-
cred to the major-general commanding
the army.
Under the head of ''flurries'' the re-
port dwells at length upon the activity
of the army in the past year, and the
valuable services rendered by it to the
country.
At one time, the report asserts, the
country seemed to be upon the verge of
war, which served to show the eagerness
with which all Americans were ready
to resent indignities inflicted upon
those on whom we have imposed the
duty of protecting the flag.
When war seemed inevitable, it con-
tinues, the response of the people to a
call not yet made, but anticipated, for
men was something thoroughly crafty
ing. The tenders of regiments Of men
came spontaneously from all sections or
the country, Texans being, perhaps,
the first to offer their services in rallying
around the old flag in defence of nation
al dignity In South and North alike
the spirit of patriotism was equally en-
thusiastic.
