Republican Campaign Opened
by Monster Demon

A Family Affair in Tennessee,
in Which the Participants
Shoot to Kill.
THE BANKS STATEMENTS

COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 15.-Al-
though shorn OF one of its principal
features by the decision of Major Mo
Kinley that it would be Inappropriate
for himself to take part, the ratlfica-
tion to-day of the republican ticket and
opening of the Ohio campaign was a
stupendous affair. II was under the
auspices of the state executive commit
tee and the Ohio league of republican
clubs, and the cooperation of the rail-
roads in granting one.cent-a-mile
rate resulted in an immense influx Of
organized clubs and adherents to the
party from all over the state. The fea-
lures of the day were parade and a
mass meeting under mammoth tent
on the spacious grounds of the Kelly
residence on east Broad street. Sena-
tor Sherman presided and Senator
elect Foraker and General Stewart l..
Woodford, of New York, were the prin-
cipal speakers. AT to-night's meeting
Lieutenant Governor Jones will preside
and the speakers of the afternoon, to-
gether with Hon. r. N. Nevin, the re-
publican nominee for congress in the
third district, will be here again.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, August ,15.-Re-
publicans were pouring into Columbus
this morning from all parts OF. Ohio. 1t
is estimated that there we're 5000 Wis
itors at IL O'Clock, this morning. The
opening meeting the republican state
and national campaign will be called
to order at l 80 by Governor Bushnell.
The first speaker will be Senator Sher-
man, followed by Ex-Governor Fora
ker. The streets are full of marching
clubs and bands. Major Mckinley
this afternoon sent letter and ex-
pressed his regrets at not being able to
be present at to-day's meeting.
General Stewart L Woodford arrived
from New York this morning. He says
the silver wave has reached New York,
but it cannot gather enough force to
reduce the republican plurality below
100000. Senator Sherman said he
thought the silver sentiment was de-
clining in the middle and western
states. Sherman goes to the Yellow
1touo Paih n IL oOPeOupol, WIN 0onOi al
Miles. The meetings will be held in
a circus tent having a capacity Of 10,-
900. Senator Sherman, Governor
Bushnell, Foraker and Woodford rode
In the same carriage to the afternoon
meeting. Their entrance was hailed
with tumultuous cheering. General
Bushnell introduced Senator Sherman,
who was heartily applauded. Senator
Sherman for the first time in many
years read his speech.
AND IN IOWA, TOO.
CTTUMwA, Iowa, August 15.-The

confess their inability to meet us on this
platform when they attempt to turn the
discussion to some other question.
1--WE are told that ali we need is conf
dence. My friends, this confidence idea
is not new one. 1t is at least 1900 years
old. was reading this morning in the
Bible these words, which rebuked the
same confidence argument that we hear
preached today: If a brother or sister
be naked or destitute and one of you say
unto them depart in peace, be We warmed
and fed, Notwithstanding you give them
not those things which are needed, what
doth it profit?
you tell them that the laborer is idle
in the streets, and that the gold stand
ard has made it profitable to hoard money,
and you tell them that these men are
naked and hungry, and what do they say 4?
They say: BE We fed and clothed with
out giving them anything to eat or put
on. Tell these people that the farmer
has reached point where his income
from his farm is not more than sufficient
to pay his debts and his taxes. Tell him
these falling prices have extinguished his
living expenses, and he is poor and naked,
and they say to the farmer, BE We clothed
and fed' without giving him anything to
wear or eat. They preach confidence and
should be rebuked as those were rebuked
100 years ago. They preach confidence,
but we are preaching doctrine that gives
a foundation for confidence to rest upon.
When money goes up property comes
down. A dollar can not buy more prop
erty when less property sells for less. A
dollar is the creature of law. When we
talk about legislation in regard to money
our opponents tell us that commerce regu
lates all these things. When we desire
to invoke legislation, they tell us we
ought to trust these things to commerce
We ask them why they did not trust it in
1873. Why was it that they invoked leg.
and ask them again why don't they re
monetize, and they say it will come back
| Why don't they trust commerce"

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Houston Tex, Oct. 12.-News was re-
ceived here in the shape of private tele-
grams and telephone messages TINS art
ernoon from Sartartia, twenty-siX miles
west, on the Southern Pacific road, that
William o. Ellis of that place had been
shot and killed by one of the employees
of the Ellis sugar plantation. A later re-
port was to the effect that the body would
be brought to this city. From credible
sources it is learned that the man used a
Winchester and hit Ellis twice, from the
effects of which he died in few minutes.
The cause of the trouble was not learned,
but the report is all over the city this
evening. Mr.. Ellis is well known here
and in this part of the state, is son OF
Col. L. A. Ellis of Austin and has been
on the latter's sugar plantation for sew
eral years. He was at one time head OF
bank in this city.

JOHNNY MURPHY DEFEATED.
Pedlar Palmer of England Bested the
Bostonian in Twenty Rounds.

London, Oct 12.-"Pedlar" Palmer of
England, who holds the title of champi-
on bantam weight of the world, tonight
defeated Johnny Murphy of Boston in a
twenty-round go before the National
Sporting club.
The quarters of the club We're crowded
to their utmost capacity tonight with
many fashionable sports. The opinion
among Johnny Murphy's friends was
very general that he had cut out tough
job for himself, and Palmer was hot
favorite at odds of to 4.
When the pugilists entered the ring il
was easy to be seen that both men had
paid strict attention to their training, and
it was also plain to the experts that they
were in for long and tedious fight.
Palmer meant to take no chances, but
to win on points. At no stage of the
twenty rounds did he attempt knock
out. He punished the American very lit
tie, and, in fact, there was very little
blood shed.
Palmer, however, always had the fight
in hand, and ut no stage was Murphy dan
gerous
The Londoner depended mainly on his
left hand. The glove was seldom out OF
his rivals face, and scarcely more thar
dozen right-handed cross-counters WERE
exchanged. The major portion of these
were delivered by Murphy, but he was
unable to get near enough to do any dam
age. Palmer's right-handers were of thu
| lightest possible kind. The affair .wa'
voted very tame the only redeeming feat
| ure being Palmers cleverness and Muir
phys gameness. There was very littl'
| applause at the finish, and, in fact, thu
| fight had been so one-sided that it was
relief to see it ended.

the United States and the fact in this
