CANTON, O.. Sept. 25.-There was no
sleeping in this city after o'clock this
morning, for at that hour the air was re-
sounding with the shouts of a big deIega-
ton of Indianians, who had travelled most
of the night with the intention of putting
in a day at this Republican Mecca. The
delegation, which was four hundred strong
and occupied d special train of eight
coaches, came from Marion, one of the
thriving towns in the Indiana gas belt,
and was composed largely of men employed
in the glass works of Grant county. Brass
bands and drum corps accompanied the
visitors and when they formed in line to
march to Major McKinley's residence there
was a display of banners with striking mot
toes Some of them read:
Sound money-protection-pr
An honest dollar and a chance to earn
''22l2 per cent Olive have seen better
times"
Some of the glass workers were residents
of Cantor. until the discovery of natural gas
drew the works from here to Marion, and
as they marched through the streets they
were greeted by many acquantances. Ma
jor Mckinley and his family had not break
tasted when the delegation reached the
residence. but the nominee responded to
their spokesmans greeting with a short
speech.
The second delegation of the day came in
a special train of twelve coaches from
Crawford county, Pennsylvania, reaching
here about IL O'Clock. Accompanying it
a party of students from Allegheny College,
institution which Major Mckinley at
tended in 1860 for a short time before he
enlisted in the civil war. The third dele
cation was from Wyandotte county, Ohio.
1t occupied special train of nine cars and
was composed mostly of farmers. who
ried in their procession several original and
striking banners and notices. AT 130 p. m
a delegation of residents of Tiffin and Sene-
ca county, Ohio, came in from the west
and marched to the Mckinley lawn. This
delegation brought an oil portrait of the
late Gen. w. H. Gibson, of Ohio's
heroes of the civil war and a warm friend
of Major Mckinley. The portrait was a
present from the Generals widow to Mr.
Mckinley and it was received with CRATE
fulnesS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25-George Dixon, of

Probably FIVE thousand persons witnessed

ANDERSON, Ind. Sept. 25.-A political
riot, in which dozen people were seriously

of this city, this afternoon. Warrants were
issued tonight and George Stroud A. Ice.

charged with assault and battery. To this
however, the charge of riot will be added
tomorrow morning. From reports at hand
the free slverites were having a demon
stration and a parade Their line of parade
was past the clubhouse recently erected
by the Republican and sound-money glass
workers. Fifteen or eighteen of them were
in the building when the parade passed.
They moved out on the porch and sat there
watching the demonstration. AS the Pop
ocrats passed there was a lively inter-
change of campaign compliments between
the men on the porch and those in line.
The Mckinley pictures in the windows
were sneered at and the sound-money men
replied with interest. At this point some
one shouted: Lets pull EN- down."
The suggestion was quickly taken up and
with shout the Summerville and Alexan-
dra delegations rushed in, breaking the
windows and destroying the furniture. Be
ing opposed by few of the factorymen.
the naddened crowd assaulted men and
women inGiscriminately with clubs. In some
cases revolvers were drawn ana q dispatch
tonight says several people were stabbed.
A story unverified from Elwood says
Joseph Martin, Hosea Templeton and
Samuel Slavin are among the number IA
tally hurt.
AT the same time a number of horsemen
left the procession and rode down men,
women and children, several of whom were
severely injured. perfect shower of
stones fell on the little crowd in froEs OF
the Mckinley headquarters, and it is
known that John Mckinney, d. X Miller
and Carl Lightfoot were seriously injured.
1t is claimed that the men on horseback
had put stones in their pocket with the in
tention of stoning the building when they
passed.
In answer to summons by telephone off,
GERS from Alexandria promptly arrived, and
some of the ringleaders were arrested to-
night and are in the Alexandria Jail.
There will be a full investigation to-mor-
row. 1t is not improbable that many more
arrests will be made tomorrow before even
the investigation is begun. The clubhouse
is demolished The five front windows and
the door are broken in, and there are evil
dences of a hard fight
This will have anything but good effect
in this county on the few men who were
undecided which party TO support. A great
deal of feeling has been stirred up over the
matter, and Democrats are regretting the
day when they accepted the Populist Brunt
as their candidate for Congress. They had
hoped by fusing with the Populists to de-
feat Congressman Henry in this district.

THE CLERGY AROUSED.
Bryan May Be Censured for Slur
Cast Ministers.

cast on ministers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.--Since Mr.. Bry-
ans visit to Wilmington, Del, on Monday
night, number of clergymen of that city
have organized a crusade against him on
account of slur which they claim he
cast upon the clergy of Delaware in his
speech at the Auditorium on that occasion.
In the report of Mr.. Bryan's speech given
to the newspapers it happened that the
portion containing the reference to the
clergy was omitted because it was regard
ed by the newspaper men as repetition OF
what the candidate had said in former
speeches on his tour, and, therefore, would
he of no special interest The omission of
the paragraph was, however, regarded by
a coterie of young clergymen of Whining
ton as attempt on the part of Mr.. Bry-
TO conceal what he had said in order
not to invite the animosity of ministers
toward him. Their vehemence broke out
served notice that in their sermons next
Sunday they would answer Mr.. Bryan from
the pulpit and take him to task for daring
to imDugn the honor and dignity of the
clergy in such manner.
The excitement and agitation stirred up
by these young ministers created SO much
Mr.. Bryan was charged with having made
that the stenographer who had recorded
his speech was asked to tranScribe 1t. And
this is what the transcription gives as Mr..
Bryan's attack Upon the clergy:
you Will ma IN our cities preachers OF
the gospel enjoying every luxury them
selves who are Indifferent to the cries of
distress which come up from the masses of
the people. 1t was said of princess of
foreign land when some one said to her,
the people are crying for bread, that she
replied: Why don't they eat cake?' Tell
some of these ministers of the gospel that
men out of work are driven into crime, and
they can't understand why every one is not
as well off themselves. l have seen
preachers of the gospel using even more
bitter speech than politicians against the
clamorings of the people. and have won
dered where they got the religion that they
preached"
Nearly all the ministers who propose to
assail Mr.. Bryan for his alleged imputation
belong to the Methodist and Presbyterian
al meeting of the Delaware Ministerial
Association on Monday next they will en-
deavor to have the matter fully discussed
with a view of having Mr.. Bryan censured
by the association for his alleged insult to
the clergy.

READY TO VOTE.
Republican Managers Confident of an
Overvh Ginning Victory.

CHICAGO Sept 25.-''We are ready right
now to have the vote taken. and if the
election was to be tomorrow Mckinley
would carry it Overwhelmingly" So said
Henry c. Payne, vice chairman of the Re-
publican national committee, to-day.
Whatever laymen may think about it
from the noise made throughout the land
admitted at Republican headquarters that
this is the most one-sided campaign within
the memory of the oldest and most ex-
perienced of the managers The Republican
organization is superb--fit to cope with any
political army in the world and win VIC
tories but it has met no foe worthy of it.
The Republican generals have been fretting
for combat, but they have not been able to
find it, Their scouts have been looking for
the work of the enemy that sword might
meet sword, and they have been unsuccess-
full. The Democratic inactivity is a source
of wonder to the opposition. Whether it is
that the Democratic managers neo-
phytes who know not what to do or that
they have become discouraged and don't
care, the fact remains that they are not
putting up any fight. The great interest of
The people that shows Itself in the excited
groups on street corners and in hotel lob
bies would naturally lead to the supposition
that the national managers of both parties
would be the alert constantly. and ii is
no doubt true that the public thinks Demo-
Gratis as Well as 6CDuDlcanS are DONG
ceaseless work But the Republicans get
no information as TO where work is being
done by the other side
The difference between the organization
of the two parties may be observed by a
visit 10 the respective headquarters. The
Republican headquarters are as full of busi-
ness as the general offices of a great rail-
road system. They occupy three whole
floors on the Wabash-ayenue side of the
Auditorium, and the stranger is at once
struck with surprise at the magnitude of
the institution. Fourteen hundred visitors
a day at the Republican national headquar-
ters was the average up to the beginning
OF the present week. In comparison the
Democratic national headquarters are like
a country store alongside of an establish
ment in State street. The Democratic
headquarters occupy the same space that
sufficed w G. Whitney for his apartments
during the national Democratic convention.
They do not take up much space and
are not as busy at any hour of the day as
the headquarters of the Republican State
central committee of Illinois.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENCASTLE. Ind, Sept. 25. = Hon.
Warner Miller. of New York. addressed
mammoth and enthusiastic audience in the
opera house in this city. this afternoon at
o'clock Music was furnished by a large
glee club, a quartet and two bands. Mr..
Miller spoke for two hours, delivering an
especially effective speech dealing in facts.
He attempted no oratorical efforts. but
spoke mostly in a conversational and busi-
ness-like way Mr.. Miller proved his facts
clearly as he went. He dwelt particularly
on protection and went into the history of
the Mckinley bill and proved by figures and
statistics that 1t was not given fair show
before 1t was overthrown by the Wilson,
German act. which has been proved and
found wanting. The speaker showed how
much of the free-silver fallacy had been
brought on by Senators who represented the
smaller States of the West. and compared
their meager constituency to that of the
great central States and the thickly popu-
lated Eastern States. Mr.. Miller spoke OF
Benjamin Harrison and paid high com-
piment to the distinguished Indianian.
The speakers best points were directed
to the statements of Mr. Bryan and the
latter's reference TO the 'enemy's country"
Mr. Miller showed that the East was not
the enemys country in that II took the
product of the central States and OF the
great West before 1t consumed the products
of the East Mr.. Miller proved that the
meat grain and dairy products of Indiana
and Illinois were shipped past his and other
farmers farms in New York to the Eastern
markets. where they easily undersod the
Eastern products. This was possible. said
he. through the increased railway, canal
and other facilities of transportation with
which the East had provided low rates for
these Western products. This point was
made especially clear to the farmers pres
ent many of the audience being OF that
class.
Mr.. Miler's audience far outnumbered
hot of Senator TuruQ who here a
week ago. The Republicans are greatly
encouraged over the meeting.
