great day in Benton county for Republic
ans. Three important meetings were held.
The meeting at Ciilboa was attended by
farmers from Benton. Newton. Jasper and
White counties. They expected to hear
Congressman Hanly, but he detained
at home from sheer exhaustion. Mr. Isham.
of Fowler. was drafted as Mr.. Hanlys sub
stitute, and made an excellent speech. AT
Fowler the Hon. George w. Letourneau. of
Kankakee, spoke for protection and sound
money. His audience was composed mostly
of French citizens, and the speaker used
the French language. Following Mr.. Le-
tourneau came Colonel De Hart, of Lafay-
cite, always a favorite in Benton county,
who spoke to the newly-organized First
Voters Club. He had also in his audience
a few old veteran Republicans, who cast
their first Republican vote in 1855. The
ColonePs speech was heartily applauded.
The large audience dispersed at D. M, TO
assemble again at night to hear enthusiasts

bury of Williamsport. Mr.. Hanly was
present at the night meeting, but was suf-
fering from overwork In a voice almost
inaudible he made a ffteen-minute speech,
captivating his hearers.

RALLY AT ANDERSON.
Mayor Dunlap Speaks to 1000 People |
After a Parade.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE Republic
ans of Anderson held one of the greatest
demonstrations of the campaign last night
Hon. NJ. M. Dunlap, Mayor of the city, was
billed for a speech at the Armory under
the auspices of one of the local Republican
clubs and the event was made the occasion
of an outpouring of Republican hosts such
as has not been witnessed in Anderson dur
ing the entire campaign. The toilers in the
mills and factories, in the offices and stores,
turned out to do honor to Republican prin-
ciples. The parade was alike remarkable
for the number of laboring and business
men in line. Mr.. V. T. Morgan, of the
North Anderson Window-glass Company
was grand marshal of the parade, and en-
listed nearly 1,200 of the voters of the city
in the demonstration. There were two
bands of music four drum corps in the
marching lines, and a body of cavalry and
bicycle riders as escorts. The march was
through the business portion of the city,
and hundreds of people cheered as the men
went marching by. The following labor or
ganizations participated: The file and tile
workers. the window-glass workers. the tin
plate workers, the Hazelwood Republican
Club the steel workers and the Central Re-
publican Club. Nearly two thousand people
mad gathered at the Armory to hear Mayor
DuIlap, ana those VINO were unable to gain
admittance contented themselves with
marching around the public square and
shouting for Mckinley. The blare of horns
and drums was not stilled till IL O'Clock.
The Mayors speech was one of the most
mastery and patriotic discussions of the
issues of the campaign that has been heard
in the city during the campaign, and re-
lated almost wholly to the money question.
In conclusion he said:
"A word to the sound money Democrats
