4 PoP0cRATIc FALLACY.
Brought to the Attention of n Big
Meeting by Gardiner Lathrop
Last Night.

"It Is n stock argument with the free
silver crowd" said Gardiner Lathrop at a
meeting in the criminal court room last
night, that the price of silver and the
price of wheat go hand in hand. That is.
when silver goes down wheat goes down,
and vice versa. In the last few weeks we
have seen this fallacy exploded as silver
has gone down cents and wheat has gone
Up % cents.
The court room was filled with a splendid
audience. Dr. Marsh was chairman and
Gardiner Lathrcp the principal speaker.
Attorney Ben T. Hardin was advertised to
speak but on account OF a temporary
throat trouble he was compelled to remain
at home. Fl. f. Hyde, an eloquent colored
speaker of local renown. made a stirring
appeal to his race to vote for sound money
and protection. He was frequently inter-
rupted by applause.
Yes" resumed Gardiner Laahrop, 1.-THE
price of wheat has gone up and has punc-
tured the tire of Bryan's bicycle. Silver
did not accompany it in its upward trend,
but went down instead. showing that the
two commodities are commercially inde-
pendent Of each other.
1.-THE Bryan crowd does not expect to win
in this election. If it did, and IL it be-
lieved in the false doctrine it exDounds, 1t
would buy up these Mexican dollars and
lOtd ghem uFtli ditet eiectioH, WHeH dc-
cording to its theory, they would be worth
100 cents. Those Mexican dollars can be
bought now for so cents. Some time last
week they could have been purchased for
As cents. but I believe they have gone up
cent or so since them. A man with $500
could buy 1000 OF them, which, after elec-
ion, would be worth 1000 He would there
by double his money. But investigate as
we will. we can hear of To Bryan men OF
any onS else investing in Mexican dollars
It simply shows that they havn't faith in

ANOTHER BLOW FOR BRYANIsM
Bishop Seymour, of Illinois, Comes
Out Strongly Against Repudi-
-- alton and DishOnor.

Chicago, Oct. 2o.-Right Rev. George L.
Seymour, of Springfield, ILL.,. bishop of the
Episcopal church, has written letter to
the gold standard Democratic committee
in which he denounces the Chicago plat
form In very forcible language. The bishop
says he takes no interest in politics under
ordinary considerations. and has voted but
once since the war. but the political situa-
ton at present he regards as perilous. He
states that free silver would be injurious
to all classes. and declares uneluivocllly
for the gold standard
The remainder, of his letter Is Devoted to
what he conceives to be the effort Of the
Democratic platform to array "class
against class. employe against employer
and the West and South against the East"
He asserts that~thes tendency. is revo-
lutionary and the men VINO preach sue h
doctrine are mot aware of the rl.erior re-
suits" He condemns particularly that
plank in the Democratic platform referring
to the United States supreme court.

MADE TEN SPEECHES.


laws, has power to execute them on every
foot of American soil, without asking any
body's consent" '
At the conclusion of his speech the
crowd at the back Of the platform demand
ed speech, and the general spoke briefly.
At 7:30 p. m. the Evansville demonstra-
ton was begun by a parade which was
reviewed by General Harrison from a stand
erected at the court house. After the pa
rade, General Harrison spoke to 1000 peo-
pie.
In the course of one Of his speeches to-
day, General Harrison spoke as follows:
For the last quarter OF a century the
Democrats in Indiana have been talking
in favor of cheapness. Their orators were
telling the farmers everywhere that they
ought to have cheaper coats and cheaper
farm Implement, and that the protective
tariff, which the Republicans We're impos-
ing on all theSe things was very heavy
tax upon them. They told the iaboring
man that he ought to have a cheaper coat
and cheaper shoes and cheaper coffee and
cheaper sugar. Their war cry seemed to
be cheapness. j remember in those times
/ was lifting my voice, sometimes ayailins-
ly and sometimes unavailingly, in Indiana
in defense of this doctrine that things
might be too cheap; that cheapness was
not the highest good, that a fair price was
the right thing-a fair price for the farm
ers' wheat and a fair price for the coat.
w Hen duS tHlHS Is So cHedp liidl the HioH
who raises it or makes it does not get
fair living out of it. it is too cheap. and
nobody ought to want that kind of thing.
Now, you will notice an entire change in
the Democratic campaign this year. They
have abandoned the campaign of cheap
ness, and now they are telling you that
you want high-priced things. You will
notice that difference in the plan of cam
paign they are making this year.. They
won their first campaign in 1892. They
elected Democratic president and elected
Democratic congress SO that for two
years they had their own sweet will in leg
islation. They struck down the protective
tariff and brought in time Of cheap
things-and they have been very cheap,
haven't they?
"These farmers who till this rich soil
here in Morgan county have got what the
Democrats promised them in one respect
they have got the cheapest coats they ever
bought-and they paid for them with the
cheapest wheat they ever Sold The work
ingmen in these factories have bought a
cheap coat, and they have paid for it in
reduced wages, and sometimes have worn
out that cheap coat In idleness because
there was nothing for them to do. Now, I
! want you to bear in mind that these people
who are trying to entice Republicans and
| trying to hold Democrats are the very peo-
pie that did that thing"

Jefferson City. Mo-. Oct. so-lspecial.)
The Stephens Democrats are happy to-day.
They have been on the anxious seat for a
month because they believed that their
candidate for governor was losing ground
and was In danger OF defeat. They have
been actively at work trying to effect some
kind of a combination with the Populists
by which they could save Stephens and
possibly the entire state ticket from utter
defeat. Saturday all the candidates were
summoned to st. Louis, where a con-
ference was held. An attempt was made to
call off Grow. the candidate for attorney
general, but Bill Phelps, of the Missouri
Pacific, said no. Tim HennesSy, candi-
date for railroad commissioner, was next
asked to make way for a Pop, but he
would not. Hennessy has good standing
with the railroads and they would not con-
sent to have him withdrawn and Pop. a
mortal foe to corporations, substituted. AS
last and firal resort. Jones was induced
to withdraw and to take such action at so
late an hour that the Populist committee
could not meet and fill the vacancy.
Just what the inducement was is not
known but it is conceded that 1t was q
good round sum.
Secretary of State Lesueur. with the doc
ument In his pocket, hastened to this city
from St. Louis, and at the very last hour,
las p. M, filed the resignation and certi-
fled the official ballot to the different
county clerks of the state. No vacancies.
except those by death. can be filled from
now on, the time having expired 81 mid
night last night.
Both Democratic nominees in the Tenth
congressional district have been rejected
and the committee met in ST. Louis yes
terday and attempted to fill the vacancy
by nominating Charles A. Lemp. son of the
big brewer Of ST. Louis. Secretary OF
State Lesueur refused to file this nomina-
ton, and mandamus proceedings were in
stituted to compel him to place it on the
official ballot Division No. 1 of the su-
preme court granted a peremptory writ
The opinion was announced orally from the
bench. A written opinion will be filed
| later.

BANKER WILSON RoAsTs BANKS
He md Colonel English Harnngue
POpOerats mt the Old Nov.
city Theater.

POpOerats mt the Old Now
city Theater.
The wonderful enthusiasm which is sup
posed to characterize the meetings in the
Popocratic headquarters, the old Novelty
variety theater, was conspicuous by its
absence last night, when a special effort
to have a good meeting was made. Mr..
George Wilson, of Lexington, the Populist
candidate for congress, who withdrew in
favor Of the silver-plated goldbug candi-
date, W. s. Cowherd, was the star speaker
of the evening. He spoke for over an hour
and fully one-fifth of the audience left
during the speech, which was a long,
dreary harangue against national banks.
Mr.. Wilson described the crime of Burking,
which is the murder of people in order to
sell their bodies to medical colleges. Mr.
Wilson, who has been a banker for twenty
years, denounced the national bank system
as a system of Burking and Mr.. Cleveland
as Burker. He charged the bankers with
purposely bringing on the panic of 1898
and said that as a banker he knew 1t. He
dwelt with narrowing minuteness upon the
starvation of a little child in st. Louis
and laid it at the door of the national
bankers, whereupon a man on the stage
| laughed. Mr.. Wilson made the decidedly
un-Populistic, statement that Value couiu
! not be created by law AID that money
must have an intrinsic value. He did not
! refer to the sell-out by which he withdrew
| from the congressional race in favor of the
bosom friend of John May.
Colonel G. H. English denounced Mr
| Armour as an avaricious oppressor. who
| put up the price of meat last year. He
worked himself into passion over the
appropriation" of the American flag by
| the Sound Money League. and he advised
| the Popocrats to wear the flag also. Just
| to show the other fellows that they couldnt
| absconded with the emblem of the United
States of America. Colonel English de-
| clared that the American people would
pay their foreign debts in silver and then
| the foreigners would take silver at par
with gold. He closed by saying that the
wives of the Popocrats present would love
| them better their children would reverence
| them, God and their country would bless
| them If they voted for free silver. And
| this Is the sort of rot that is being pumped
into the Popocrats at every meeting they
| hold.
Mr.. ]. H Harvey, of Butler, Kas., spoke
| briefly. DIR. Hezekiah Clagett, a nongen-
| arian, who has been a Democrat all his life
was advertised to make a speech but ht
| was unable to be present. He sent a writ.
| ten speech but it was not read.

A JEFFERsoNIAN DEMOCRAT.
Talks mt a Republican Club
Meeting.


The feature of the rally held by the East
Side Tenth Ward Republican Club at
Twenty-fourth street and Prospect avenue
last night was speech by J.. Morgan
Perkins, of Dallas, Tex. He made a stirring
talk, which was applauded to the echo.
He explained that he was a Jeffersonian
Democrat: that in the Chicago convention
of 1892 he seconded the nomination OF
Grover Cleveland on behalf Of the state ot
Texas and that his father was a Con-
federate soldier. Then he said: "All this
is true, and yet want to say to you that
there are five in our family who are able
to vote and all of the five expect to vote
for Mckinley on election day." Mr.. Per-
kins went on to say that although his
father, who was a Tennesseean and lived
at Murfreesboro, once owned a thousand
slaves, he came back from the war with
out enough clothes on his back ito dust a
fiddle" He raped the Popocratic party
sharply. Altgeld he called the most
dangerous figure in American politics, a
man who bore the same relation to the
people of this country that a polecat does
to other animals. This raised a big laugh.
He characterized Senators Stewart and
Jones, Of Nevada. as a lot of wornout
politicians. Then he took up the subject Of
sectionalism.
Mason and Dixon's line was obliterated,
he declared, and the South was as loyal as
the North. Then he exclaimed: Il said
that was a. Democrat. I am one still.
We voted for Grover Cleveland because we
believed he was true Democrat He was
a true Democrat. We defy any man to
point out where he has turned in the
slightest particular from the course he set
for himself" Mr.. Perkins speech arous-
ed great applause.
Other good speeches were made by 8
f. Frnk and Judge c. W. Clarke, candi-
dates for the legislature ]. P. Dew. Cap
tain W. F. Henry and Judge Parkinson
of Kansas. The meeting was presided over
by W. N. Covey. vice president of the
| club, Attorney George A. Neal, the presi.
dent. being absent. The Tenth ward quar-.
tette sang campaign songs.
After the meeting Mr.. Perkins was
warmly greeted by the members of the club
| He was urgently requested to address the
| Sound Money Club at noon to-day, and
| said he was not sure that he could do this
| because his throat Is quite sore. owing tc
the number of speeches he has been max
