FoRAkER AT CHICAGO.
The Eloquent Ohioan Discusses the
Political Issues.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Senator Foraker spoke
here this evening to a large crowd. saying
in part: THE questions of this year are
largely nonpolitical. They are business
questions. and. being business questions,
party lines are being largely disregarded-
There is an unsatisfactory business condi-
ton. The panic of 1893 in modified form is
still continuing. Mr.. Bryan tells us these
hard times were caused by the crime of
1873 We claim that they were caused by
the crime of 1892. that it was not the de-
monetizatlon of silver, but the ~denonetiza-
ton of our markets not closing the minis,
but closing the mills. That the act of 1873
was not the cause of our trouble is shown
by the twenty years of unexampled pros
perity that followed. No country ever
rrospered as did this from 1873 to 1888. As
proof that 1T was the elections of 1892 and
that which followed in the administration
of our government hat has brought par
alysis, idleness and distress upon US, we
nave the experience of the past, as well as
the existing facts of the present. Like re-
suits have always followed free-trade or
taritf-for-revenue-oniy legislation. When
ever we have had protection We have had
prosperity, and whenever We have had free
trade We have had adversely. knowing tie
cause. we know the remedy. 1t is the re-
turn of the Republican party to power, a
restoration of the protective-tariH policy,
a reinauguration of reciprocity, the main

kinney.
II have not time to discuss all the objec-
tons to free silver. but | can enumerate
some of them. In the first place, you can
not have free silver without having free
trade. Mr.. Bryan represents both, believes
in both and stands Pledged to both. In the
second place it does not mean bimetallfsm.
but. silver monometailisni. The election OF
MIR. Bryan and the adoption of that policy
would be to put this sco0ntry on a silver
basis and class it with Mexico, China and
Japan. instead of leaving it to stand, as it
does to-day, with the first nations of the
earth. The Republican party is not hostile
to silver. On the contrary, we nave done
more for silver than any other party in
any country in the history of the world.
Our silver dollar is as good as a gold dollar.
not only here in the United States, but in
Mexico and every other country, simply be-
cause in Mexico and every other country,
as well as at home, the pledge of the
United States is accepted without any ques-

CLUBS.
Few Attend the Qundren-
NAL convention

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 3.-The quadrennial con-
yention of the National Association of
Democratic Clubs met here to-day in the
Auditorium, with a small attendance. In
stead of the $500 delegates that were ex-
pected only 300 were present at the opening,
and less than 500 visitors occupied the seats
in the galleries. President Black delivered
an address, in which he declared that the
cause which the Democratic party was
supporting was that of no class, no section,
but of the people as a whole. 1t was the
cause of all classes from all parts OF the
country. He then entered into the discus
sion of the money question and concluded
by denouncing Mark Hanna and the mon
eyed power. When he had finished he intro
duced Vice President Stevenson, who also
made a free-Silver speech. Governor stone
was the next speaker. and he was followed
by Representative Newlands. of Nevada.
At the afternoon session, Senator IL. D.
Money, of Mississippi, was selected for per-
manent chairman; j. B. White, OF West
souri,. reading clerk. In taking the chair,
Senator Money paid a high tribute to w.
j. Bryan, and said he was worthy to be
ranked with Lincoln and Grant. The COM

throughout. Monopolies and trusts and the
single gold STANDARD were denounced. The
action of many of the great corporations

demned. and the attention of the govern
ment officers was called to the alleged
abuse. The report was unanimously
adopted.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN
If the Democratic Vote Falls OFF 20
Per Cent. in Certain States.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-An ingenious
calculation has been made, based on the
figures of the elections in Vermont and
Maine recently. In those two States the
Democratic vote fell off about so per cent.
In both States the campaign was fought
out on the national issue, and the vote for
the State ticket was practically the same
as 1t VIII De next November. Assuming
that there will be a similar decrease in
other States except, OF course. those hope
lessly Democratic Southern States, where
the Democratic electors will be counted in
by fair means or foul, the Democrats would
lose twelve. States which they carried in
1892. In the following table the first column
of figures sets forth the Democratic vote
in those States for Mr.. Cleveland in 1892;
the second the Democratic plurality that
year, and the third a calculation of what
the Republican plurality would be on the
supposition of a 80 per cent. detection in the

REQUESTED TO RESIGN.
Rector of the University
Dismissed by the Pope.

NEW YORK, Oct. "A dispatch to the
World from Washington says that word
comes there from Baltimore that the
Right Rev. John J. keane, rector of the
Catholic University, has received a letter
from the Pope requesting his resignation as
head of the institution. 1t is said Cardinal
Gibbons received the letter, and that
Bishop keane went to Baltimore to re-
ceive it.
The wording of the letter is said to be
kindly, and the resignation is asked on the
grounds that three years is to be the limit
of the term of rector. The moving cause,
however, the dispatch says, is being sur
missed without result. 1t is said that Bishop
Keane had become persona non grata to
Cardinal Satolli. Bishops ~SpaUiding, of
Peoria, and Horstmann, of Cleveland. are
mentioned as probable successors. Bishop
Keane, it is expected, will be made an
archbishop. with a see in this country, or
live at Rome.

1t VIII BE Held Tuesday, and Demo-
crafts VIII Win.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 3.-The Flor
ida State election will be held on Tuesday.
A Governor and other State Officers are to-
be chosen for four years, a House of Rep
resentatives and half of the Senate for two
years, and in each county county officers
for two years. The Candidates for Cover
nor are w. d. Bloxham, of Tallahassee,
Democrat; E. r. Gunby, of Tampa, Re-
publican, and w. e. Weeks, of Washing
ton county, Populist. aA somewhat vigor-
Gus campaign has been made by the Demo-
Gratis, chiefly on national issues and the
election of their State ticket by a sub
stantial majority is conceded. Bloxham,
the candidate for Governor and present
State Controller, w. N. Sheets. candidate
for reelection for Superintendent of Public
instruction, will be cut intsome quarters.
The Legislature to be elected, including
sixteen hot silver Senator's, will choose a
United States Senator to succeed Wilkin-
son Call. AS closely as can be estimated,
the Democratic legislative candidates and
the present Senator's, one hundred in all,
stand about sixty to forty against Calls
reelection.

me cOmDlned electoral vote of these
twelve States is 173, which were of course
given to Mr.. Cleveland four years ago.
Without them he would have been defeat
ed, and the country under President Harri-
son would have escaped the four years of
dreadful disaster which have now brought
it almost to the verge of ruin. If these
twelve States go Republican next Novem-
Der their electoral votes. added TO the votes
OF the States which will be conceded by
every one to Major Mckinley, will give
him an overwhelming majority in the Elec-
toral College. That this falling off of about
80 per cent. of the Democratic vote in the
States enumerated above is by no means
fanciful or improbable will be conceded.
when it is recalled that since 1892 two of
these States, kentucky and Maryland, have
elected Republican Governors. Four OF
them. Maryland, North Carolina. West vir-
ginia and New Jersey, have replaced Dem
ocratic Senators by Republicans. In an
other State, Tennessee. the Republican can
didate for Governor. Hon. Fl. Clay Evans,
was elected beyond a doubt. but was
counted out by Democratic manipulators.
and in every one of the States the Demo-
cratic representation in the House of Rep
resentatives elected along with Mr.. Cleve-
land in 1882 has been largely supplanted. in
some cases entirely supplanted. by Repub-
lican Representatives.

LONDON, Oct. "a dispatch from Wen
ma to the Standard reports the death in
the hospital there of Mrs. Constance Nc
Elroy. Mrs. McElroy had applied to the
United States consul. Max Judd. for as
sistance on last Monday, representing that
her husband had not sent her money and
that she was Denniless. Mrs. Judd. the
wife of the consul, gave her a bedroom.
where she was found the next morning
unconscious. 1t is supposed the cause was
a dose of morphine, taken with suicidal in
tent. Mr.. Judd has received a telegram
saying a draft for his wife was on the
way, but no reply has been received from
Washington to a subsequent cablegram an
~nouncing that the patient was dying. Pa
pers which the deceased left show that the
that she was in a destitute con-
dition were not true. Consul Judd will
send the papers to Washington and will
pay the funeral expenses Professionally.
