A TERRIBLE PLAGUE.
DIphtherIa Claiming Many Victims in
Illinois aud Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October pa spe-
cial 10 the Times from SturgIs, KY,
saws: A fearful and death dealing
plague Of dlpbtheria is raging opposite
Cassyvilie, in Illinois, and collins
can hardly be furnished fast eConQh
with which TO bury the dead. Not
fewer than forty deaths have occurred
within the week, ard II is not uncom-
mon to bury two children 10 a single
coffin. A man from across the river
arrived at Caseyvlle to-day for the
fifth coffin furnished 10 one family.
The plague has now crossed the Ohio
and is epidemic at Caseyville and Null
Yorktown, having been brought thither
by families from Illinois fleeing from
It's ravAges. A number OF dangerous
cases are developing there and all the
schools have closed.
The community is in general state
Of alarm. Among the few recoveries
noted the victims have been left blind
or paralyzed, similar to the sequels
Of the spotted fever" plague.
which swept over portions OF
Webster county, several years ago. A
number OF physicians everywhere nave
been called TO assist In combating the
disease, the local doctors thus far
having been powerless TO arrest The
epidemic.

"While we have not done all we hoped
to do. we haveHoue more In the past year
TO redress the wrongs Of the people, wo
have done more for their relief, than was
ever done by any party In the same length
of time in any country under tho sun.
These are bold words, yet hold myself az
all times ready 70 defend them. Coming
into power az a time OF panic, when busi-
nesswas at standstill, when labor was un-
employed, when our treasury was empty,
with courage and fidelity we entered upon
a struggle with the enemies Of the people.
We emerged from that struggle victorious
in this:
ave have repealed the Mckinley law.
1--WE have greatly reduced taxation,
1--WE have made living cheaper.
1--WE Lave made all money taxable.
"Wo have taxed surplus incomes.
ave have restored freedom OF elections
ave have reduced public expenditures,
and we nave declared undying hostility to
all trusts ana monopolies organized for the
oppression OF the people. On these foun.
dations we build our house, on those
issues we go before the people. For them
we have fought the good fight 10 them
we have kept the faith and we have no
