AT THE MORTON CLUB.
Mr.. Overstreet's Speech-Attempts to
Disturb the Meeting.


The rooms of the Oliver P. Morton Club,
on Shelby street, were crowded last even
ing to hear the speech of Representative
Jesse Overstree4. While the crowd was
gathering a number of children collected
near the entrance, Justify yelling for Bryan.
Some Democrats stood near by and urged
them on, telling them no officers were near
to modest them. One youngster, more VIC
ious than the rest, threw stone up the
stairway, and was seized by Joseph Dynes,
who looked about for officer. The boy
kicked and squirmed and just as two Off
GERS put in an appearance. Wrenched MINI
minions of the law caused the boys to
scatter but they were collected by Demo-
cratic byStanderS and urged to keep up
their noise and stone throwing. One said,
Don't go too near the door though. for
the officers are there" Another promptly
spoke up, Go on, they won't hurt you;
all they can do is to get you up before
Judge Cox and he'll let you go, for he is
a free-silver man..
The youngsters yelled, but threw no more
stones and there was no further disturb
ance.
The Fairbanks Club marched to the hall
from it's headquarters, on Dillon street. Mr..
Overstreet, after paying q tribute to Oliver
p. Morton, spoke of the frmneSs with
which true American people, with the in
the present political issue, denouncing free
silver and upholding the advocacy OF gold
as the means of redeeming the countrys
former prosperity. He spoke at length on
the money question. mo standard of value
of two metals has ever been attempted
and succeeded" said he. Mr.. Ovefstreet
spoke for an hour Messrs. Shufelton, Hub
bard and Henry Harding also spoke.

WILL BE RAILROAD DAY
A HUGE DEMONSTRATION IN THIS
CITY NEXT THURSDAY.
President Ingalls,. of the Big Four, to
neutrality-suspicious. Meetings i'm
the City Last Night.

The Railroad Mems Sound-money Clubs
of the State are preparing TO have mon
ster demonstration here a week from to-
day. From an outline of the preparations
1t would seem that it would surely eclipse
the Bryan day affair. 1t is probable that
fully %, 000 people from outside of the city
will be here, and that 5000 of them will
be railroad men. In this matter the rail-
roads are lending great assistance and
have agreed to furnish special free trains
for all sound money clubs and will give low
rates for all others wishing to attend.
1t is expected that there will be present
thrty-three sound-money clubs from Chi
cago, three from Louisville, eight from
Cincinnati, and other clubs from the fol-
lowing places: St Louis, East St. Louis,
Frankfort, Connersville, Ashley, Kokomo,
Seymour, Jeffersonyille, Valparaiso. Cam
bridge City, South Bend, Raysville, Ham
mond, Logansport, Richmond Evansville,
Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, Vincennes, CO.
lumbus, Ind, Columbus, O.. Michigan City,
Huntington, Garrett, Decatur, ILL.,, and
Danville, Ill.
The principal address will be made in
Tomlinson Hall at o'clock by M. e. In
gals president of the Big Four system.
He is very pleasing talker and is DEM
ocrat, but in this emergency is doing all
he can for the cause of sound money, re-
gandless of politics.
There will be a big parade before the
meeting and it will demonstrate the work
ings of a railroad we'll as it can be
demonstrated in a street parade. There
will be a track and regular train OF cars
on the street and hand-car brigade with
a car will do the work done by section
gang. The parade will form on West
Washington street and will march to State
avenue coun sermarching to Delaware
street and then to Tomlinson Hail. The
trains will begin arriving here at O'Clock
and will continue to arrive for two hours
when all will be in.

The Effective Address of Mr.. Berry,
Of the Atlas Works.

81 went out to the First Ward Republic
an Club said a veteran last evening, ito
make a talk and was knocked out by a
mechanic of the Atlas works named Will
liam Berry
Did he take the free-silver side?' the
veteran talker was asked.
mo, he took the sound-money and tariff
side and made the best speech-one of the
best I've heard this season." was the an
swer. He went to say that when he
had finished his remarks, Mr.. Berry asked
permission to say a. few words. His ex-
planation of the limited and free coinage
of silver was unique.
John Jones' he said, might do a gro
Gerry business here and issue as change q
limited amount of pieces of brass or silver
marked or 10 cents. People Would take
them because Jones was good for all that
he would issue. But suppose the City Coun-
Gil should ordain that Jones should stamp
good for cents, John JONES' on all the
pieces of brass which might be brought
to him. He would be bankrupt in a week
So If Uncle Sam stamps only the number
OF silver dollars he can keep as good as
gold. there can be no trouble, but when he
stamps every so cents worth of silver one
dollar he and the people who are forced to
take them will be bankrupt
He next presentd facts regarding the con-
dition of labor in Mexico. Four years ago.
said Mr.. Berry, Il voted for Cleveland !;
this year l shall vote for Mckinley be-
cause / have become a protectioniSt and
am for sound money"
The First Ward Club is a vigorous organ
ization and the committeeman said last
night that their thirty-day poll showed bet
ter footings than the vote of 1894.

THE HEBREWS MEETING.
Democrats who Are FIOcking to the
Mckinley Standard.

S. H. Spooner addressed the Hebrew Me-
Kinley Club of two hundred members in
Hofflnan's Hall, 472 South Meridian street,
last night, and Republican enthusiasm was
as warm as the belching flames from the
smokestaeks of the rolling mill near by.
The Hebrews entered the hall shouting:
Decentralization
Republican years we'll have once more
OF Democrat rule, we've had enough,
Wen vote for Mckinley and we'll all
have stuff
cussion of the tariff and silver questions.
He dwelt on the fact that in order to
again get money into circulation there must
be something for which TO spend it and
that was labor; revival of employment
meant better times and the circulation of
boarded wealth.
There were no antagonistic demonstra-
tons to mar the meeting. The Hebrews
claim that the speeches made in the city
by Bryan converted large numbers of them
to the Republican ranks. One lifelong
Democrat left the hall shouting: Il m
turned now, I'll vote for Mckinley
straight
Ernst Buehning. a German present.
stated to the Journal that he has the
names of eighteen lifelong Democrats who
have turned over for Mckinley during the
last few days. There will be another meet
ing at Hoffman's Hall tonight and G.. Il.
Bookwalter and Thos. j. Water will speak.

AT THE BIG -FOUR CLUB.
John s. Duncan Makes One of His
Usual Fine Speeches.

John S. Duncan, regarded by many peo-
pie as the most successful storyteller in
the State addressed one of the most en-
thusastic and rousing meetings of the
campaign last night at the clubroom of the
Big -Four Republican Sound-money Club.
Short speeches were made by p. j. Roach
and Albert Thayer The former is Irish
American and the latter the owner of a
little coalyard. Both have been Democrats
and have never voted any other ticket
when it came to national elections, but
neither will do anything to aid the cleo
ton of Bryan. Indeed they are doing ev-
erything within their power compass
The clubroom of the Big Four Sound
money Republican Club is on the third floor
of the Big Four building, corner of Della
ware and South streets. j. @. Hicks, presi-
dent of the club and candidate for Repre-
sentative, presided. At the end of the
speeches Mr.. Hicks arose in answer to re-
peated cries for a speech and said that it
would be presumption Tor him to attempt
to make an address after the questions of
the campaign had heen so ably handled by
the other speakers. He said that instead
questions of the two hundred men assem-
bled.
many of those present have been coerced
inundated into attending the meetings
From all parts of the room vigorous
How many would expect to prosper
under the free and unlimited coinage of
silver?" asked Mr.. Hicks.
again there was a vigorous reply, None
of us.
sfTIow many of you would expect your
I salaries to be increased if Bryan were
elected?"
This question answered with a shout
of derision as several shouted, Our wages
would be cut in two
Mr.. Duncan was introduced to the audi
ence of railroad employees by Mr. Hicks.
In a mastery talk. bristling with unan-
swerable arguments, he discussed the is
sues of the campaign. He admitted that
the country is in the throes of commercial
and business depression and showed how
they were due to the mismanagement of
the Democratic party and the general mis-
trust and apprehension as to what will be
the course of that party if Bryan is elected
Restore the Republican party TO pow
err" said Mr.. Duncan, and we insist that
! confidence will be restored and the pros
| porous conditions we had under General
| Harrison will come TO us again"
| What is the character Of the leaders OF
! the silver movement? asked Mr.. Duncan.
| who are the men that are engaged in
| this cause? You have all heard of Bilman
| who proclaims that the fight is to be a
| fight Of the South and silver States Of the
/ Union against the East. 1t cost thousands
| of lives and millions OF dollars 10 teach the
people OF this country that there Is no
| East. no West. no North and no South.

STATE PROPERTY DAMAGED.
An Expensive Lawn Made n .sHos
Yard" the Sentinel Says


1t is a good thing for the State that Mr.
Bryan does not come often. His coming
necessitated the erection of a stand in the
Statehouse yard for which the State paid
the main expense, that Of labor. But if
this were all it would be an easy matter
to forget about it. The worst feature lies
in the fact that the east lawn of the State
house grounds has been ruined after sew
eral years of careful work in putting the
grass in good condition. The Sentinel, the
Popocratic State organ accurately desc ibed
the damage yesterday morning when it
said: THE lawn was trampled into a
muddy waste from which all vegetation
had disappeared. spaces hundreds Of feet
square looking like hog yard
This remark by the organ caused a good
deal of swearing among the Popocratic
managers yesterday. 1t was not so much
the fact that the paper thus called atten-
ton to the unwarranted damage of State
property for the benefit of the Popocratic
campaign, but the thing they objected to
the implication that the yard had been
in use as hog yard.

j. W. Noel and J. E. Cowgirl discuss the
money question and the other political is
sues that are just now agitating the public
mind. a glee club and a band accompa-
MED large delegation from Castleton
The attention paid to the speakers was in
dicative of the interest being taken in the
campaign by the people in the country dis
tricts at the present time. Mr.. Noel said
last night that he had never spoken to a
crowd that seemed so attentive and so
anxious to understand all the arguments
used. There were many Democrats in the
crowd, but they seemed to be there for the
purpose of learning something and listened
attentively to all that was said

THE CANTON EXCURSION.
Over Two Hundred Tickets Already
Sold for Fridays Trip.

At noon yesterday there had been over
200 tickets sold for the joint excursion of
the Wheelmen and Commercial Travellers
Clubs to Canton. Ills was spoken of at
the Big Four ticket office as a large sale,
considering that it was then two and
half days in advance of the starting of the
trains. Such a SALE the ticket sellers
think, indicates that the excursion will be
unusually large. 1t has a most enthusiast
tic lot of people backing it and this prom
ises to make it the greatest success of any
excursion that has gone to the Ohio Mecca.
1t is well known that no people as a class
are more enthusiastic i'll their undertakings
than the commercial travellers, and also
that the riders of wheels are mostly active
young men. who Will push anything under
taken to successful completion.
A unique feature of the bicycle parade
to be given in Canton Saturday morning
by the wheelmen will be two colored boys
dressed in yellow suits representing the
metal of that color. and carrying immense
gold bugs These bugs will not be of the
size that are seen worn on the lapels of
coats, but will be large enough to admit a
person within them. They are being made
now and Will be a great attraction they
are carried beside the clubs banner. On
account of the fact that the wheelmen will
take their wheels and will ride them in the
pafade, they cannot nave a drum corps, but
the Commercial Travellers Club win take a
drum corps of twenty members, and it will
furnish enough racket to let the people
know that Indiana is on hand, with her
men ready to work for the Ohio candidate.
SOund-MOney Democratic strength
Chairman Pickens of the National Demo-
cratic State committee, neld a conference
yesterday afternoon with several leaders
from various parts of the State and some
of the men who have been making
speeches. They feel very much encour-
aged over the outlook in Indiana. Mr.
Pckens said last evening: Our advices
from all parts of the State lead me to be-
lieve that not less than 1000 and possibly
as many as 60,0 900 Democrats in Indiana
will refuse to vote for Bryan and the Chi
cago platform. We are making earnest
effort to gather as many s possible of
these to the Palmer and Buckner ticket
and our chief menace lies not in the pos
sibility of these Democrats voting for Bry-
an. but in the Mckinley sentiment we en-
counter among them.

four speeches in the State beginning Oct.
