After Mi. Allen had finished Hon.
Champ Clark made q short address to
the crowd, which was received with
great enthusiasm.
At the Court House the crowd was
immense. Every seat In the court
room was occupied and crowds of
people stood up. Hon. Champ Clark
was introduced by Hon. Orlando Hit
and spoke in part as follows:
Free speech is one of the cardinal
tenets OF our political creed.
L have always maintained that ]
have the right to express my opinion
ON any subject at any time and place
that appear to me meet and proper.
The same right which I claim for
myself / freely accord to others.
Our appeal is to the human under
standing, and mot to prejudice.
Abuse and epithets prove nothing.
They simply and certainly stir up
strife and should be omitted both
from public discussion and private
conversation.
So l say come, let rs reason to-
rether ON those matters which app
pertain to our temporal welfare. Cer-
tainly We can do this without losing
our temper.
Some months since, when Mr.. Bland
was q candidate for the Presidential
nomination, 1t was alleged against
him that he was . ono-ideaed man

contributed 70 his defeat. But the

A0W FOR ARK4NS4S.

Arkansas will, today, send greet ing to the Bryan Democrats of Yer mont who did not rave chance to vote last week. The only thing that may keep the majority below 90, GOO is the preordained certainty Of Democratic success. Sometimes there is a good Democrat who will not take the trouble to vote when it is known that his vote is not needed.
 There have been two notable things in this years campaign in Arkansas. One is the remarkable unanimity of the Democrats for the nominees of their party. In other States there have been bolts and talk of bolts, but in Arkansas the only bolt worth mentioning was that of Editor Matthews of the Stuttgart Ff9e-Press against Powell Clayton.
 A few kid-gloved gentlemen did meet in Little Rock and send dele gates to Indianapolis, but the incl dent was scarcely noticed at the time and has been forgotten amid more important matters. Arkan- sas Democrats have for years been radically unanimous for the ideas that were crYstallized at Chicago. They nominated Dan ". Jones for Governor because he was radical in his advocacy of just what the Chica- go Convention did, and they will vote for him today with great good will for the same reason.
 The other notable thing about the Arkansas campaign this year is the absence of Powell Clayton, who has quilted the State in order to act as aide-de-camp to Marcus Aurelius Hanna. Mir. Clayton has been so bored by the unbroken line of brutal Democratic majorities during the past twenty years that it became necessary for him to seek change in 8 more congenial field of labor. Though absent, Editor Matthews has not allowed him to be wholly forgotten. His candidate for Gov ernor, Remmel, has, on the other hand, felt it necessary to defend Mir Clayton, and has been greatly commiserated therefor by every body who has a good opinion of Remmel.
 Files. the lone Populist Candidate, can hardly expect Q great many peo- pie to give him their vote for Gov ernor. The Democrats who strayed into the Populist camp have nearly all come back. He will. Of course, get the vote of the middle-of- the road Populists. like those Of Van Buren county who broke Congress- nan Dinsmores leg in q joint de

4 Wave Does Great Damage to Three
 MAsted Schooner.
 NEW YORK. Sept. s-The S-masted schooner John H May. which left Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. g with cargo of yellow pine for this port, ran into 8 heavy northeast gale off Frying Pan shoals, of Cape Hatteras. The storm began on the 2sth and Captain Burrows was obliged to heaye to on the port tack with jingle reef in the mainsail and a double reef in the foresaiI. The laboring of the vessel caused the cargo to shift, and while William Nettinger, the first mate, and John Edwards, 8 eolered seaman, were wedging the deckload the following morning heavy wave struck the schooner with terrific force. It tore away the mainsail, boom and gaff and the bolt iron from the top of the aftermast and stove i'll eight feet of the deck near the mizzen rigging. Part of the starboard sail was also car ried away. Edwards and Nettinger were swept overheard and drowned.
