TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS.

Fowler Ind, Oct. 31.-Leroy Tenn
pleton, while delivering a Democratic
speech at this place was stricken with
paralysis. He was carried to his hotel
where he now lies in a critical condi-
ton. Mr.. Templeton was the Populist
candidate for Governor in this State
in 1892 and proprietor of the Non-Con-
formist.
New York, Oct. 31.--Probably never
in the history of political campaign
ing in this city have the streets of
New York presented a brighter or
more animated aspect than they wore
to-day, the occasion being the parade
OF the Republican organizations in
honor OF the party's Presidential nom
inees, Mckinley and Hobart. Practi-
cally no business was done in the
mercantile establishments and the pa
raiders included organizations repre-
senting every department of trade and
business in the city and many profes-
sionS.
Knoxville, Tenn, Ocu. 31--From tele-
grams received here to-day, it seems
that the Populist party in Tennessee
is in bad predicament. Ben. S. Boyd,
chairman of the Board of Registration,
has been notified by four of the Popu-
list electors not to present their names
on the ticket and to keep off all Popu-
list electors. j. p. Buchanan, State
Populist chairman, wires that none of
the Populist electors have withdrawn.

nifty was given the speakers on the

contest grew angry and trouble was
threatened when the visitors referred
to Missouri as "the home OF Jesse
