The meeting of the headquarters camp

Club held yesterday afternoon at Is and 20
North Meridian street was the largest of
was occupied, and then nearly half of those
present had to stand. There was consid-
cradle business transacted and some
speeches were made. Among the speakers
were David A. Meyers, J. w. Noel, r. r.
Shiel Kirby Smith, w. +. Henschen and
Charles Duncan. There was great applause
when one of the speakers read from yes
terday's Journal the report of Mr.. Mount S
reply to Mr. Bryans attack on Gen. Lew
Wallace. The reply follows:
Mr.. Bryan, in the vaunting spirit that
home of 'Ben-Hur,' enGeavoring to cast as
PERSONS on the patriotism of Indiana's
two wars, whose patriotism was attested
at Monterey in Mexico, who, in the late
war, through the glory of his patriotism,
arose from civilian to major general; who
won laurels at Donelson and Champion
Hill; who, with a small army confronted
ton; the patriotic colonel who, with the gall
liant old Eleventh, on Bonded knee, swore
them to remember and avenge Buena Vista.
This spirit of patriotism was emulated by
every Indiana soldier who in the furnace
of battle and by baptism of blood wrote
the honored name of Indiana high on. the
scroll of honor. The love of the soldier
for General Wallace was refined in the
furnace of battle. The soldiers will resent
any reflection cast upon his patriotism by
comparison with Bryan. General Wallace
is beloved by every living soldier. He is a
patriot, ,jurist, statesman, diplomat,
thor and soldier, whose name is a house
hold word in the Nation, and yet in the
face of his glorious record this modern
lo"yeI WHO nos no cIleHts, thiS economist
whose teachings are at variance with eco
nomic science, this editor without a paper,
this fnancier whose life is a living expo
nent of failure, this patriot whose patriot
ism has been maintained at no cost. this
travelling monstroSity with one head and
two tails, all mouth and little brains with
turkey gobbler strut, lost to a sense of
propriety, assails, at his home, Indiana's
honored citizen ard distinguished soldier.
the Immortal Lincoln, garbles the speeches
of Blaine, denounces President Cleveland.
yilifies Carlisle, misrepresents President
Harrison and kndles the flame of strife
in our land is not living exponent of pa
triotiSm.
When the reading was completed there
were loud and long cheers for Wallace and
Mount. This merely showed the esteem in
which the General is held by his comrades
Three cheers We're offered for Mr.. Mount
