GOV. FLOWERS ORATORY.
The Former Idol of Tammany Speak
ing for Sound Money.
the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 14.-The sound
money Democrats of Madison county and
Anderson opened their campaign in this city
tonight. Ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower.
of New York. was the speaker, and for an
hour and a half electrified an audience of
nearly 1900 people in the armory. Hon.
Thomas 3. Orr, one of the leading Demo-
cratic citizens of Anderson, in preseting
the former idol of Tammany, spoke of him
as a Democrat from the enemy's coun-
try, as Mr.. Bryan puts it, but whom we
rejoice to welcome"
Governor Flower pitched into the Chica-
go platform because he believed it was
dangerous, revolutionary. and imperiled the
perpetuity of free government in the
United States
Il was d delegate to the convention"
said he, and, although denounced as a boz
ter, 1 declare that I would rather go down
in defeat than succeed in dishonor."
He declared that the platform and the
nominee would be overwhelmingly defeat
ed. There are over &c., eco Democrats in the
State of New York, he said, who will vote
to whip Bryan. He referred to the cleo
tions in Vermont and Maine as the an
swer of honest farmers 70 Bryan's attempt
to array one class against the other, and
was equally confident that those in the
States ringing the great lakes would not
go against business intelligence to follow
the ideas of n man in Nebraska. His dis
cussion of the silver question was plain.
practical and convincing. He showed that
gold has not appreciated since the crime
of 70, because interest in all parts of the
country is lower by one-half than it was
then. In closing he urged all the citizens
of Indiana TO unite here as they had in the
past, irrespective OF party, to support
sound money.
During the early part of his speech be
was interrupted by Popocrats in the hall
above him stamping On the floor. No meet
ing was billed, but two hundred congre-
gated there and were addressed by local
speakers. The noise was so great that it
was impossible to hear what he was say
ing, and the police quoted the noisy
crowd. Hon. John p. Irish, of California,
met Governor Flower here at a hotel to-
night. and said California. Oregon. Wash
ington. Wyoming, Iowa and Nebraska
were all certain for Mckinley.

Saturday night. Sept. 10. I was in

heard a speech by Governor Cuiberson

read what they claimed TO be a dispatch
from the Columbian Meat-paoking Com
pany, of Peru, Indiana, offering to pay
certain sums OF money for pork if Bryan

its alleged offer. Mr.. Loveland investi-
gated, and found that there is not. and for

description here or near here. Prior to
there was a third-class butcher shop in
a one-story building on a side street, which
somewhat p~retentious name of Columbian

peared. Mr.. Loveland made diligent in
quiry, and was not even able to find out
what has become of the proprietors. Mel

assessed the towns along the route taken
by him for the privilege Of gazing on the

tentng to his platitudes, an effort was
made to lay that sin to the Pennsylvania
Company, which carried him, and it was
charged, and believed by the faithful, that
the railroad company charged $50 for
stopping a few hours at Columbus, $500 for
stopping at Logansport. and corresponding
amounts for other points. He wired Mr..
Z. w. Walton, the superintendent of the
company, for the facts, and received this
answer:
Referring to your message. 1 beg to
advise that the report circulated that this
| company charged the different towns at
which the Bryan special train stopped GER
tain amounts in order to secure such stops
is entirely without foundation. The rate
charged for this train was the standard
rate used for all special trains of this char
acter, and was based on the mileage, re-
g%ardless of the number of stops. The Dem
ocratic central committee may have as
sessed certain towns where stops would
be made certain amounts to help pay the
expenses of the trip, but in this the p,
c., G. & ST. l.. Railway COMPANY had no
hand whatever. We simply furnished the
train for a certain consideration based on
mileage alone"
