CAMPAIGNING In INDIANA
Mr.. Bryan Addressed An Enthusiastic
Assemblage of HOOsiers at JEFF
fers0nville To-day.
16 TO 1 MOST BEAUTIFULLY PERSONATED
Tom Watson Has Given Out His Letter
of MISUNDERSTANDING Docu-
ment-McKinley Continues to
Work His Front Porch.

Louisville, Oct. 6.-Mr. Bryan arrived
at Louisville this morning shortly after
7 O'Clock and was met by Gov. Matthews
and the Indiana reception committee. He
crossed into Indiana at 1880 o'clock, ar
irving in Jeffersonville in time to fill his
! first speaking appointment.
16 TO l BEAUTIFULLY PERsoNATED.
On the platform at Jeffersonville were
sixteen little girls dressed in white, and
one clothed in yellow.
Mr.. Bryan said: II am always glad to
go into any community where they have a
special interest in the name of Jefferson,
because we are in this campaign attempt.
ing to revive the principles of Jefferson
and apply them to the solution of the
questions Of to-day.
eve claim our title to the name of
Democrats, not only by the fact that a
large majority of the Democratic party
indorsed the principles which we advo-
cate, but for the additional reason that
those princi pies are In harmony with the
teaching of the father of the Dem ocratic
party. The followers uf Hamilton de-
MED that the followers of Jefferson were
capable of self-government. The people
who opposed jefferson, honestly have
no doubt, doubted whether the people at
large would ever be capable of exercising
the right of self.government. Jefferson
had confidence in the people and they
had confidence in him. (Applause.)
II have heard that in some cities of In
diana the employers have notified the
employees that they would not open busi-
ness if was elected. Now, my friends,
if you will look at the charters granted to
those corporations, you will find that in
not single case have the laws of In
diana authorized the organization of cor
porations for the purpose of
RUNNING THE POLITICS OF THE STATE.
You will find that there is not a single
instance where the laws have granted to
corporations the right to intimidate their
employees in any way whatever, and I as
sert that corporations which do or try to
intimidate their employees have no right
to exist in land like ours. (Applause
and cheering). The restoration of BIZ
metallism will not hurt any Legitimate
business. (Applause.) It only inter-
feres with the man who wants to eat the
bread somebody else has earned"

Tom watson's Letter Of Acceptance

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 6.-Tom Watson has
dictated letter accepting the Populist
nomination for vice president. He calls
attention to the fact that during the st.
Louis convention, caucus of "middle-of-
the road" delegates, representing twenty
one states, agreed to nominate Norton,
OF Illinois, for president, and Birket, of
Mississippi, for vice-president. That
ticket, Watson says, would have made
Bryan's defeat absolutely certain. But
when Watson telegraphed that he was
willing to accept second place on the
ticket with Bryan, the "middle-of-the-
road" men, believing that the Demo-
cratic managers would support the ar
rangement in good faith, withdrew their
opposition to Bryan. Watson's letter is
practically demonstration that the Pop.
ulist candidate for vice. president de-
serves the support of all who favor Bry-
ans election.

CONNECTICUT HAS GONE REPUBLICAN.

CONNECTICUT HAS GONE REPUBLICAN,.
Hartford, Conn.-There is great jubi-
latlon at the headquarters of the Repub-
lican state committee to-day as a result
of the town elections. In 1875 towns a
large Republican gain is shown and
twelve towns are gained outright. The
comparisons are compared with two
years ago when the Republicans benefited
by the political landslide.
Samuel s. Eddy, secretary of the COM
mitsee, said: "We did not expect so great
victory. We naturally look upon it as
straw. Two years ago we reached what
We thought our zenith, when we
carried the state by 1900. If we base
our predictions upon yesterdays result,
we should expect much greater majori-
ty on November 3. OF course, in many
towns, local issues complicate the cleo
tions greatly, but, making allowances for
all such complications and taking i,to
consideration everything, the committee
expects Connecticut to roll up majori-
ty of not less than $4,000.

IN MEMORY OF A HERO.
Service at the Grave of One of the Ore

Service at the Grave OF One or the Ore.
Eon Savers
On August 20 the Floyd Memorial as
ISOLATION of Sioux City, Ia, will hold its
regular annual memorial service over
the grave of Sergt. Charles Floyd, q
member of the Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton, who died near the present site of
Sioux City, while on his way with his
companions to the headwaters of the
Missouri river in the autumn of 1904.
As Floyd was the first United States
soldier who died in the Louisiana pur-
chase, his death is invested with his
torical interest which the memorial as
ISOLATION is sparing no pains to observe.
The organization was formed several
years ago, but was seriously handicapped
at the outset by lack of funds. Floyd's
grave, which had been changed several
times owing to the caving of the bluff
on which it was located, was finally
found with considerable difficulty ard
the soldiers bones inclosed in a metal
casket and reinterred in a plot of ground
near their original resting place pur-
chased for the purpose by the associa-
ton A marble slab was laid on the
grave last August and elaborate cere-
monies in which prominent historians
of the Lewis and Clark expedition from
all over the country participated.
Among those present were Dr. Elliott
Coues, of Washington, D. c., and Prof.
James Butler, of the Wisconsin state
university, the owner of the original
Floyd diary. one of the most interesting
relics of the expedition DR.. Coues pre-
pared a manuscript of the proceedings,
which it is designed to put in pamphlet
form as soon as the association is allie
to command the necessary funds. The
ceremonies this year will be less elabor-
ate than those of 1895, but several prorni-
nent men have signified their intention
to be present and a most interestir 2
meeting is anticipated.

he is Indifferent to both liberty and
