when it was returned he discovered
tho bookworm. How it got there no

All Mr.. Gorham knows is that it is

ate through one thousand titles. The
qualification of its appetite proved toe
much for it. for, starting il on the

HARRISON ON THE HUSTINGS,
Second Day of the Ex-President's
Tour in Indiana.

GOSHEN, Ind. Oct. S1.-Gen. Har-
r1son spent last night in his car at
Fort Wayne, leaving there early this
morning. The first stop was at
Auburn. In spite Of the early hour
great many people had gathered on
the public square to hear the ex-
president. He said in part:
This is flag day. Every day ought to be flag
day. / cannot think Of anything that is
more wholesome. anything that is more ele-
lean flag, the stars and stripes, the banner
Of glory, the symbol of free constitutional
government, Of individual liberty, and of
public law and order. 1t symboizes 10 US the
union OF the states, not a confederacy, but a
nation, nation constituted by the people Of
all states; nation endowed, not with all
powers but endowed with specific powers and
within the limit of those powers supreme.
The states have reserved certain powers;
those that relate to local government your
shoots, your roads, your police, and preser-
walton of these local rights is essential. But
we must not forget that that which gives us
strength and dignity, that which gives us
honor and standing. in national councils is
the union of the states, and that though cit
liens OF different states, We are citizens of the
United States and revere and cherish one
flag.
1t happens in this campaign the III .stion of
the powers OF the national government is
again brought under consideration. In 1861. the
Southern states declared that our constitu-
ton was mere compact among states. The
war was protracted and bloody, but before it
ended by surrender, We had established the
doctrine and we Will never again allow It to
be disputed, that the laws of the United
States, made under the constitution, shall be
enforced in every state and in every square
foot Of territory In every state, and yet, my
friends that issue has been revived and In
the Chicago platform, interpreted by the event
to which 1t refers, we have again the decla-
ration that the national powers cannot be ex-
ercised in state unless the governor of the
state consents. The whole security of our
social fabric depends upon obedience to the
laws. You have no right to break the law,
nor I. You may peacefully. by organization
endeavor to promote your interests, but you
must do SO on the lines of the law.
At Watertown, Kendallville and
Ligonier, brief stops were made At
all these places the people had con-

fer, Mr.. Harrison said In part:
Mr.. Bryan gives strange advice to come
from a man who wants to succeed the hero
Of the little Ratchet and the cherry tree--
to wear a lie and walk q lie through the
campaign, and then vote for Bryan. I do not
want to speak with disrespect of any man
that any party names for the presidency, but
cannot refrain from saying that such adj
vice Is dishonoring to the man to whom it
is given, and is not calculated to reflect honor
or increase our confidence In the man who
gives 1t. We fear such a man, because we are
afraid that he may act upon his own teach
ings.
