Gen. A.. O.. Miller. Capt. r. W. Harris,
Capt. t. Fl. Martin and DR.. w. H. Schultz,

said that Lebanon has been having one

The arrival of General Ayers train. When
the train pulled into the station 1t was al
ready growing dark, but the thousands of
people, many of them farmers who lived
miles away, patiently waited. General Al
ger hurried through the depot to a stand
that had been built on the opposite side.
Before the stand was gathered a large
crowd. but many that could not obtain
a good position there listened to stirring
speeches made by Corporal Tanner and
Rev. d. r. Lucas. of this city. from the
battalion fiat car. Meantime General Al
ger. General Howard, Mai. j. w. Burst and
General Stewart spoke in the deepening
twilight, General Howard was greeted by
fought under him. In the shadows of the
aning night it was impossible to Judge ac-
curately of the size of the crowd, but
others who had been in Lebanon all day
said that five thousand marched in the
parade, and that fully that many more
were spectators. Perhaps five thousand
persons heard the speeches at the train.
The run from Lebanon to indianapolis
was made without incidents of special in

time when the Union Station was reached.
Carriages in waiting conducted General AL

Bryan's Cheaper Money.
Miami County Sentinel (Dem.)


Mr.. Bryan's principal argument for the
the people want a cheaper dollar. This,
beyond doubt, is one of the most noxious
pieces of financial humbuggery that has
ever been attributed to the p~eople-partic-
ularly those who labor for the bare ne
c~eSsities of life. Such a proposition Will
not bear even TO have its terms defined.
If wishes were horses we know from
the saw What beggars could do; and Mr..
Bryan seems to entertain a similar no.
ton as to the future of our currency under
free coinage. The word cheap as very
commonly applied to money to describe the
interest rate paid for its use, is a boon to
those who are compelled to borrow. But
the cheap dollar, which Mr.. Bryan
would give to the people, can mean only
a dollar which exchanges for less goods
than the dear dollar-less clothing, less
food, less fuel, less rent. Perhaps in the
end for less labor, but in the end and only
after a prolonged struggle.
Without considering the effect of free
coinage upon credit-though that is the
dict with certainty-Mr. Bryan asks that
the wage Garner let the purchasing power
of his wages be shrunk at once, cut near
~ in halves, and trust to his recouptng
himself by getting his wages raised after
he has had recours to the customary
measures. And the widows. and old folks,
living now on their hard-earned savings.
are TO see their incomes reduced without
remedy He even thinks that the old SOL
diers, who are now getting small pensions,
should suffer them. to be cut in twain in
order that the country may have the full
benefits of a cheap dollar.

Robert Manteil's opening performance here
filled the Grand with a fine audience last night.
The play was 1.-THE Corsican Brothers and much
of the weird, mysterious charm that makes
Dumas story SO interesting is found in the
version used by Mr.. Mantell. The apparitions
and visions are most effective, being admirably
managed. Mr.. Mantell is seen to good advantage
as the twin brothers, Louis and Fabian del
Franchi. He looks the characters thoroughly and
plays them almost as we'll. The emotional scenes
Of the closing acts are especially powerful. The
duel scene in the fifth act is one not soon for
gotten. Mr.. Mantell was well supported, though
there is comparatively little for the large cast to
do, the star having most of the work. The per-
formance, apparently. met with the approval of
the large audience, there being no lack of APP
plause: This afternoon Mr.. Mantell will appear
in 'Monbars," one of his fayorite plays and
which he made popular some years ago. To-
night he closes his brief stay here, presenting
1.-The Face in the Moonlight which will again
tax his resources in the way of quick changes,
as he plays a dual role-a criminal and a young
French officer. 1t is a strong drama and has not
been seen here for several years. The advance

three cheers. first for the old flag and the
honor and integrity of the country, three
cheers for Mount, three cheers for Mckin-

A CROWD OF OVER 10000.
An Immense Demonstration in Sol
dfers' Honor ut Lafayette.

The great success of the demonstration
at Lafayette was due to the excellent man
agement and untiring energy of the Lin
coin Club, a social Republican organization
resembling in many respects the Columbia
Club. Of this city. Scarcely two weeks ago
the club learned that General Alger and
his party would pass through Lafayette,
and at once set about arranging for the
biggest political demonstration in the his
tory of the county. Arrangements We're
made to nave all the veterans in Lafayette
and the adjoining country act as an escort
to the generals for the afternoon meeting.
At the same time it was noised abroad
that there would be a street parade at
night. followed by a speech from Albert
J. Beveridge. of indianapolis. who created
such a favorable impression in Indianapolis
last Saturday night by his English Opera
House address. And the plans were entire
~ successful. Never before in the history
of Lafayette. so it was asserted yesterday
Ey a number OF persons. has such g crowd
been seen on the streets of that town.
From carly morning until long after noon
the crowds poured in from the rural dis
tricts; scarcely a hamlet or crossroad in
the county but what sent a big rel resenta~
ton. Many of the delegates marched ev-
cry step of the way from their homes into
Lafayette, and some of them walking over
ten miles. To stimulate the marching clubs
to greater activity the managers offered
two prize banners to the first and second
clubs that should have the most voters in
line.

MARTINSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 13.-Attorney
John S. Duncan, of Indianapolis, addressed
the Mckinley Clu in the Circuit Court
room last night. The address was highly
enjoyed by all in attendance, and had a
marked effect on the old soldiers and the
laboring classes. He unmasked the Boy
Orator who has been posing as the poor
mans friend, and who claims to be OPP
posed to SyndicateS, trusts and monop-
olies. He showed Bryan up in his true
light to be the man who is not self-support-
ing at his chosen profession. The address
from beginning to end was full of good
thoughts, and it was listened to attentively
by q house full of voters.
