LOGANSPORT, Ind. Oct 26.-Judge
John c. Nelson who up to the surrender
of the Democrats to the Popuists was one
of the most influential Democrats in north
ern Indiana, spoke in the rink tonight re-
pudiating Bryan, Altgeldism and all the
other Popocraticisms and came out square,
ly for Mckinley. The sound-money em-
ployes of the Pennsylvania Company, a few
days ago. presented a petition to Judge
Nelson, asking him to deliver an address
to them. The petition was signed by hum
dreds of shop employees, Democrats and Re-
publcans, who favored sound money. Judge
Nelson had previously shown his distaste
for the Chicago platform and the Popo-
cratic nominees by taking part in the
demonstration recently when the old SOL
diers passed through the city. He accepted
the Invitation of the railroad men and to-
night hundred of them, headed by drum
corps, escorted him TO the rink, where he
spoke for an hour and half. Speaking of
the Popocratic policy, he said:
II cannot understand these latter-day
Democrats. Four years ago they told me
to go out and tell the people they were
paying too much for what they were buy
ing and did it because believed 1t. But
this year they want me to sell the people
prices are too low. l cannot do it; l cam
not turn double somersault on the same
question and light on my feet. That is why
| part company with Bryan, Tillman, Alt
geld and the rest
Judge Nelson denounced the plank of the
Popocratic platform. referring to the right
of government by injunction and attacking
the integrity of the Supreme Court in the
strongest possible language. There is one
thing in which the Bryan supporters have
been successful during this campaign, he
said. They have been successful in the
free coinage of falsehood, Misrepresentation
and foolshness.''
Speaking of Bryans advice to railroad
men to wear the Mckinley button to hold
their jobs he said: II read in the papers
that Mr.. Bryan advises you railroad en-
ployes to wear the Mckinley button, but
that when you come to vote, to vote for
Bryan. In these words he asks you men.
who see before me, to become walking
lies. / believe every man here is an honest
man and 1 do not believe one of you will
become the walking lie Bryan would have
you. There is one man whom you cannot
deceive; there is one man whom you must
not deceive. That man is yourself If any
of you are wearing Bryan buttons who in
tend to vote for Mckinley, or IL any of you
who intend to vote for Bryan are wearing
Mckinley buttons. 1 beg of you go home
this moment and tear them off, l do not
take much stock in buttons myself. but
If yout want to wear one wear an honest
one. If Mr.. Bryan advises you TO dc some-
thing which is dishonest how do you know
but he is dishonest himself and can you
trust a dishonest man or accept his adj
vice?

the greatest enthusiasm throughout ana
was frequently applauded. When he
cluded there We're cries from the audience
asking him to continue. 1t is plain to be
seen that Judge Nelson's action in coming
out opposed to the platform alleged to hove
been made by the party of which he has
seen a lifelong member Is having great
weight and that it will carry with it many
heretofore doubtful votes.
