onslaught? The memory of Gettysburg
and Appomattox will force us not to stop

We are here tonight under one union.
We are here to claim for our states
those rights which the federal constitu
ton gave them; we are here to say that
the constitutional powers of our nation
al government shall not be trampled
upon. l regret to notice the recent as
sauit upon our just constitutional pow
ers. The incident / refer to is the Chi
cago riot. Men in defiance of law, in
great organized bodies, went through
the streets with fire and sword, destroy
ing property, stopping railroads. block
ing the mails and preventing commerce.
These acts had their origin in railroad
strikes. and We're the work of men under
the red flag of anarchy. Mr.. Cleveland
felt it his duty, as was any duty that
devolves upon the president Of the
United States. He was the instrument
as the commander of the army and navy
to restore the traffic and the movement
of trains. The courts were appealed to
and writ of injunction granted to en-
force the law. Violation of the order of
the court resulted in contempt proceed
ings and punishment of the offenders,
which was right. These courts pro-
ceeded or a line that was legal, that was
upheld by the constitution, and yet the
president and the supreme court are de-
nounced in the Chicago platform. Dry

The speaker here referred to Senator
Daniel, and scored him for being a party
to the Chicago platform when he had in
the senate fathered resolution en-

the troops to Chicago. He held that tie
upholding of the constitution and law
was the most important of all the duties
of a citizen. He argued that the Chica-
so platform meant to change the su-
preme court body so as to accomplish the
ends of anarchy.
He said that Virginians had just as
much at stake in the preservation of the
laws as the people of any other state.
and urged them to vote to prevent IL
from getting despoiled.
The second question that Gen. Harri-
son discussed was the money question.
He had exhausted over half of his time
in speaking of the Importance Of main
tanning law and order. His arguments
against free silver were along the line
of those he used in other speeches. In
closing he advocated protection to
American industries. Protection would
be great boon to the south, he said. He
mentioned Mckinley only once and that
was in his final appeal for law and or

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 5.-Ex- -Presi-
dent Harrison spoke here to about 5000
people tonight. The meeting was held
in the Auditorium, where Mr.. Bryan
addressed from $4,000 to $4,000 few
\ aeks ago. Not quite half the seats
were taken. The audience was about
equally divided between the two parties.
On the stage were many of the leading
Republicans and Democrats and also a
sprinkling of silver Democrats. Gen.
Harrison's wife was present. She was
accompanied by several Richmond la
dies. The ex-president was loudly ap-
plauded when he made his appearance
on the stage.
Chairman N. J. Young called the gath
ering to order and introduced Hon. l.. L.
Lewis, Republican nominee for congress,
to preside. Judge Lewis made no speech,
but in few words introduced Gen. Har-
rison. The speaker was in good voice.
The rival applause for Mckinley and
Bryan interrupted him several times.
There were few disorderly persons
present, and the police arrested some
of them and took them out of the build
ing. Once the lights went out and the
building was in darkness for five min
utes, during which Gen. Harrison sus-
pended his remarks. When Gen. Harrison
proceeded and warmed UP, he received
better attention. His complimentary
references to Virginia and the south
were most literally applauded Gen.
Harrison, in beginning his address, said:

THE TURKISH QUESTION
England ard Russia Agree to Depose



the Sultan
LONDON, Oct. 5.-Willam Vernon
Harcourt, the Liberal leader in the COM
mons, speaking tonight at Ebbvale, ex-
pressed himself upon the Turkish ques-
tion for the first time since the present
conditions have developed. He called
upon the government to grant security
and protection to the Armenians. The
Turkish government, he said, could
never be reformer until it ceased to ex-
list. Yet, he continued, England could
not act alone, because only military
occupation of Turkey would avail to pro-
tect the Armenians. England must CO.
operte with Russia, the first step being
to obliterate the Cyprus convention, by
which the island of Cyprus was ceded to
Great Britain.
The Chronicle this morning says it
learns from a good source that the czar
and Lord Salisbury have agreed upon
policy for the ultimate deposition of
