reputation; have scorned to say that the
Democratic party for a century has stood for
freedom Of trade freedom of industry, free
dom of speech. freedom of contract, and that
the Chicago platform makes vain regrets of
the work of past lifetime; have scorned to
say simply that the Democratic party
throughout its history has stood for the en-
forcement Of the law, and that the Chicago
platform announces this novel doctrine that,
while it has the function of government to
punish crime, it is without the sphere of gov
ernment to prevent crime. (Applause.) I have
scorned to say simply that the Democratic
party, recognizing that whenever the national
legislature has attempted to usurp any of
the functions of the state or the state has
reached out its greedy grasp for any of the
rights of the citizen, the supreme court of
the United States has stretched forth its arm
and stayed the hand of the usurper and rec
ognizing that fact, has been the chiefest
guardian Of that most august tribunal of
history, and that the Chicago platform con-
tains threat that henceforth an appeal shall
lie from that tribunal to the caucus of the
Populist party.
These things have been sufficient answer
But in addition to them we have replied:
"Our country, which was the birthplace of
liberty, which is the hope of humanity, where
lie the graves of our fathers, and which we
hope to leave an honorable heritage to our
children, Is greater than any party, and for
it we would sunder ties far more dear than
those Of politics. (Applause.) Tonight our
country calls US, and he who, when he hears
his countrys voice would not turn his face
from the beckoning finger of party associa-
ton to that high place where patriotism sits
enthroned above all partisanship, would not
be worthy of his country, would not be
worthy of himself, would not be worthy any
thing of life that deserves his sacrifice
(Applause.)
1t is the dearest memory of my life that
when. back in the days of 1860. the integrity
of this nation was once before attacked, my
good old father, a young man then, led many
a charge of the gallant boys of the North
into the belching mouth of the rebel cannon
that he was one of that blue wave, crested
with the bayonets Of steel, that swept back
ward the tide OF rebellion into its own South
ern seas; and. feeling this way, could not
for moment give my adhesion to any such
doctrine as that which was announced in
Chicago.
At this point a man sitting In the first or
second row made disturbance by muttering
and kissing his disapproval.

upon his hearers. ''It will be an evil
day when the people will have to
choose between the paternalism of Re-
publicanism and the socialism of Pop
ulism," said Mr.. Cutcheon, nd the
storm Of approval that followed was
long and loud.
1t was during Mr.. Cutcheon's address
that couple Of rowdies sitting in front
seats began disturbance. One of the
men persisted in smoking, the other
in making half audible remarks that
were not complimentary to the speaker
or to the audience. Mr.. Lawler quiet

incident passed from memory.
Mr.. Cutcheon introduced Gov. Flow

the administration Of portion to the federal
government; and among those confded to the
federal government are the laws which af-

commerce was interfered with, and then
there followed a scene upon which every
American must look back with horror and

are law-abiding and law-loving class Of
men, but in every great community like Chi

devour it, and this feast was spread and they
came with torch and bullet, and in the city
every hour was marked by the going out of
some human life. Then the federal courts
were appealed to, and they believing =

The riot was stopped; interstate commerce
went on its way, and SO did the federal
mails. Do you know when the section Of
the statute under which Mr.. Cleveland sent
his troops to Chicago had last before been
appealed to? Why, there was a time, gen

in Charleston Harbor, prevented the collec-

watchful of the laws and Of the guarantees of

Lincoln (applause), and he looked into the
federal statutes to find some justification for
putting down this attack upon his countrv's

some of US who have given their years Of
devotion to the Democratic party, who have

who believe that the doctrines of the Repub-

THE GEBHART MURDER.
Claimed that Albert knapp Confessed
to u Prison Mate.

There is a revival of the story current
serving sentence of ten years at Michigan
man who murdered little Ida Gebhart in
West Indianapolis year ago, after having
brutality assaulted her. Some time ago this
story became known to the police. but there
was little except mere conjecture to sub
stantiate it. 1t now transpires that young
Kentuckian, who was in prison at Michigan
City with Knapp, claims to have heard
him confess that he is the brute who as
saulted and murdered Ida Gebhart For a
lew days this stranger has been in West
Indianapolis talking with those interested
in the matter. There is a reward of $500
offered by the Council of that city for the
conviction of the murderer and it is for this
reward that the stranger is working.
Little Ida Gebhart disappeared from her
home in August, 1885, and two days later
her body was found in horrible condition
in barn in the rear of 1877 River avenue.
Several people were suspected of the crime
and two three arrests were made All
the people arrested easily established their
The story of the Kentuckian is that while
in prison in Michigan City he was told by
Knapp that he (hnapp) knew. all about the
case. Knapp was then asked why he did
not tell what he knew and get the reward.
His answer was that he would not tell I'M
less he could get promise that he would
go free in the matter. This aroused the
questioning Knapp and finally secured a
confession. 1t was also rumored that a
written confession had been secured by the
warden and chaplain of the prison, but this
is denied in Michigan City. Sheriff Wo-
mack and the officials of West Indianapolis
are working on the case, but refuse to tell
anything they know. They say it will not
do to talk now, for any publicity might
ruin their case.

JONES CRIES FOR MONEY
WANTS INDIANA CANDIDATES TO
PAY HIS HOTEL BILLS.
They Call His Crowd Set of Lazy
Buccane ers-What Nominee
RaIston Says.

A new trouble has broken out between
the Indiana Popocratic State committee
and the national committee, managed, or
mismanaged, by Senator Jones, of Arkan-
sas. 1t was bad enough when Jones failed
to get out literature for the Indiana con-
Germ and it was when it failed to
furnish a single speaker for the opening
Of the campaign, Aug. 10. 1t has become
worse right along, as it has, up to date,
failed to furnish single speaker of known
reputation for the Indiana campaign. 1t
has come to be regarded as a bit of po-
ltical idiocy that Bryan should be per-
mitted to waste his time in the East
where he cannot expect to get an electoral
vote. while he might be doing some good
in Indiana But the worst outrage the In
diana Popocrats have suffered at the hands
of Jones has come in the shape of a per-
sistent demand that the State candidates
contribute to the expense of maintaining
the national headquarters in the most lux
furious and expensive hotel in Chicago, the
Auditorium Annex.
This is probably the first time in his
tory" remarked S. NJ. Ralston candidate
for Secretary of State, to a Journal re-
porter the other day, that candidates on
a State ticket have been asked to put up
for the expenses of the national commit
tee. Further imam TINS ne QecHneQ 10
comment.
Another candidate on the ticket was met
yesterday and expressed himself more free
ly, upon the promise that his name should
not be used "It has been the CUSTOM -
said he, ''for the national committee to
send US literature free, to send us
speakers of national reputation and to send
US a goodly lot of money besides. You
may ina CINE then our surprise when we
were called upon to stand an assessment
from the national committee to help pay
the board bills of lot of lazy buccaneers
who do not seem to be doing anything
but sitting around the Auditorium and
drinking fancy connections and telling
fairy tales. If they would get out any
printed matter or hustle out any speakers
of note, or do anything to demonstrate
their usefulness, might cheerfully give
up but I'll be BANKED if l shall consent
to any portion of assessments going
to Chicago while things are run as they
arei''
Mr. Jones has not received any checks
from Indiana, and now the story comes
from Chicago that the Indiana candidates
are not paying their assessments. 1t is
common gossip in the committee rooms
in the Annex that one of the principal In
diana candidates has only paid 800 up to
date and that he let go of that with yell
of pain.
