The Middle West All Right.

Hn1iaQelpnld Times.
The fact that eX-President Harrison is
announced to make some thirty speeches
in Indiana between this and the election
is a clear indication of the earnestness of
the friends of Mckinley in the middle
Western State. The chances are to-day
twenty to one that Indiana will vote for
Mckinley and by a large majority, but
that is not satisfactory to the friends of a
sound financial policy. Theys mean to
leave no efforts untrie1 to make the ma
jority for Mckinley SO decisive that the
cheap-noney craze VIII perish from the
earth on the morning OF the 4th of Novem-
Der next. The middle Western States may,
therefore. be safely counted on for Nc
Kinley. not so much because they are for
Mckinley to-day as because the campaign
will be prosecuted in the most systematic
and thorough manner from now until cleo
ton day.
What IL being done in Indiana is simply
a. part o. what is being done in Ohio, Iii
noiS. Michigan. Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and all the other
States which have been claimed for Bryan.
The safety of the sound-money cause IS
in the fact not that the battle is won. but
that the fight will continue relentlessIy
until the Sd of November, and the repudi-
ationists will be driven from the field in
utter rout and annihilated. There is. there
fore, every reason to have implicit faith in
the middle Western States. None will be
lost for want of effort, and none can be
lost in any other way.

The party in this county has again
changed its election ticket emblem. The
first one adopted was the silver dollar.
The laws prohibited this. so they decided
on the rooster sitting upon the beam or
a pillow, denoting fusion of Pcpulists and
Democrats. To-day the chairman and Sec
rotary of the Popocratic central coZnInittee
and two ward heelerS got their heads to-
gether and at the last moment decided to
adopt the rooster alone. This was done
without consulting any of the Populist
wing. and, as a result, they are somewhat
wrathy at being thus snubbed.

SOUND-MONEY GOSPEL.
1t Has Captured the Polish Voters in
EaPOrte County.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Oct. 19.-The
Polish voters of LaPorte county are this
year for Mckinley, protection and sound
money. The Popocratic leaders of this
county have been trying for some time to
turn the tide among this class of voters to
free silver, and had brought to their help
two shrewd Polish free-trade and free-sil-
yer orators from Chicago, sent here by the
Popocratic national committee. These two
men have been making a house-to-house
canvass for the last week among the Po-
lacks, endeavoring to convert them to free
silver, and rounded up their work by a
mass meeting at Otis, this county. The
SchoolhOuse where the meeting was held
was crowded to the door and was being
addressed by one of the Chica go orators.
The Republicans some weeks ago secured
the services of Martin Leda. a Polack
laboring man, and he had on several occa-
sions addressed the Polish voters on the
question of sound money and protection,
and concluded that he would attend this
meeting to see what his opponents had to
say. Mr.. Leda had been standing at the
door listening for a few moments before
the audience knew that he was present.
When it was known by the GROVE that he
was present they began to a man to call
for Leda, until the Chicago man was COM
PEELED to turn the meeting over to Mr..
Leda, who took his position with a Chicago
on either side. and made Il ringing
speech for protection and sound money.
closing the meeting with three cheers for
the success of the Republican ticket.

that Bryan has given his pledge to work
ingInen through recognized and trusted
leaders to give them his backing in certain
legislation, and that the toiiing masses
have engaged themselves in 81 wholesale
scheme of deception for the purpose OF
"joliying' the Republican leaders into n
false sense of security
This amazing theory. which has for Its
Keystone the incredible assumption that
the workingmen are d foolish confederacy
of liars, is soberly subscribed to by four out
of five Popocratic statesmen around mead
quarters and by an equal proportion of the
minor politicians who swarm about the re-
sorts. 1t is this condition and the contrast
between the basis of the claims at rival
headquarters that is accountable for the
fact that the betting odds are three to one
on Mckinley. The speculative proposition
seems to be facts vs. theories. and the fact
end has a decided call.

Henry George Gave Secrets Away.

chicago fOSt.
Much has been heard about coercion, and
the silverites have been loud in their com
plants of the sound-mohey men forcing
their employees to march in the Chicago
day parade. but 1t remained fer a leader OF
the Bryan forces to admit that the Popo-
Gratis did some coercing on their own hook
that day. Henry George, in his dispatches
to the New York silver paper the other
day, frankly stated that many men in the
silver parade last Friday night were forced
to march by Bryan leaders, who threatened
ito hound them if they didn't join the
demonstration. The Popocrats wouldn't
talk much about this statement to-day.
But one of them burst into a torrent Of
abuse of Mr.. George and said-not for pub
lication-that George didn't know anything
about Chicago labor. II is said that since
coming to Chicago Mr.. George has be-
come convinced that the workingmen are
determined to support Mckinney. as the
surest way TO secure q return OF prosper
ity. He has shown this in his letters and
hence has incurred the opposition or the
Popocratic managers.

CONFIDENT AT HEADQUARTERS.
Republican Leaders Satisfied with
Results of Polls.
Washington Special.

" ia III otV1N al
AT no time during the campaign has there
been such an easy air OF supreme conf
dence as is now worn at Republican head
quarters in this city. There is a look of
satisfaction and complacence on the faces
of the insiders that is born of renewed
and unimpeachabie confirmation of preyi-
Gus favorable reports from States and
districts usually put in the doubtful list.
1t is a singular phase OF this remarkable
campaign that while both Popocrats and
Republicans appear to be almost equally
confident. the Republicans have the back
ing of figures resulting from repeated close
polls, while the Popocrats are building
their expectations on careiessIy arranged
plus beautiful theories. The the
DRY upon which they are banking heaviest
is that the wage earners, who have put
themselves down as Mckinley men, are
liars and will vote for Bryan. So general
and deeply rooted is this belief that
the Pcpocratie leaders and politicians
pay no attention to Republican pol Is
except to denounce them idiotic and TO de-
clare that the Republicans are willfuliy
deceiving themselves and that they are
blind TO known facts as TO the ~deep-sea

Low Rates for Voters.

Oct. 19.-Some time ago the
Western roads declined to make a rate of
one fare for the round trip for voters who
were anxious to go to their homes to vote.
The roads in the Central Passenger Asso-
cialion nave made this rate, and now the
chairman of the Western Passenger Assoc
citation has authorized the roads in his as
ISOLATION to meet the competition of the
Eastern roads whenever il is necessary.
This means that voters in Illinois who wish
70 return TO their homes to vote will have
the benefit of IA one-fare rate, for that is
where the roads of the two associations
come into competition.

tensely dramatic. 1t is human in substance,
imaginative in form. Its local treatment gives ii
freshness. The scene is in Mexico. in the days
when the soldiers of Scott and Taylor were per-

and the music is admirable, rich, full of local
color and melody. The scoring is scholarly,
tasteful and effective.
