penters had "a a day regularly,
and the best S.. The track hands,
laborers and odd job men bought
lots and built houses and paid
for them. Two of the ditchers,
Pat Hart and Hughey Morehead,
went off and bought farms, and
there were others.
There were but two million
aires in the country, Astor and
A. T. Stewart, and they had but
a million each, Vanderbilt not
having quite reached that point.
1t is different to day. Wealth
has greatly increased in certain
sections, and now there are 1000
millionaires. Some OF these are
worth hundreds of millions in
stead of a million--ten have$720,-
O0O,O00-and the stock of some of
the big banks of New York are
worth 50, 400 for every 500 share,
but my old neighbors are selling
oats at 10 cents and other farm
products accordingly. The pro
prietors of these fine farms, and
they are the finest in the world,
wear mittens made of sheepskin
and old graft sacks now, and not
a piano has been bought by eth
err farmer or villager for ten years.
There has not been a new section
boss for 20 years, and the one
they have will never be Promo

These farms produce as we'll as
they ever did. They are not worn
out. The young men are DIS strong
and enterprising as their fathers,
but the wealth now concentr ates
in Wall street, not upon the IL
linois farm.
A political orator was present
on this occasion, telling these old
boyhood chums what a dollar
should be like. He held up dol
lars that he said were only 90
cent dollars and told them it was
dollars of a particular kind and
color that they wanted. He
meant it was the kind of dollar
Wall street wanted. Some of
these sons of war time Republicans
wore the hated butter colored
hats ahd cheered the loudest
notes of the evening for Grover
Cleveland! These are strange
days.
it is not probable that these
farmer boys desire to vote for 10
cent oats or to vote for a still
further reduction, Say to s cents,
but they were deceived by the
action at BIT. Louis. Some think
it was the old Republican party
that went for gold, and not the
one that staid by silver. If they
could be treasured of the trno
condition, they would stay by
the simon pure party, for that is
the one they want! They are
divided as it is. About half the
farmers of the township, tits be-
lieved, will 60 for silver.
But it is not dollars of certain
color or metal our farmers or bust
ness men want What will please
them cah't please stock gamblers
and cutthroat apeculators. And
that which pleases Wall street is
never good for the farmer. What
the farmer wants is good business,
good prices, good times, and these
come only with plenty OF money.
Plenty OF money and good times
mean the same, are the same
thing, and always have been. If
they understood this matter cor
rectly, we believe there would not
be man in that township left to
vote for Wall street except the
county officers.-Joliet Sentinel:

has bolted Governor Altgeld and the Chi
cago platform and nominees. An official
statement is in the hands of Chairman
Williamson at Palmer and Buckner head

against free silver, w. J. Bryan and the
administration of Governor Altgeld. Up
to the present time Mr.. Morrison has main

there was a personal enmity between him.
self and Governor Altgeld. but he was sup
posed to lean his sympathies towards free
silver. His declaration in favor of the
gold standard and against Governor Alt
geld is regarded as a most important in
cident in the present State campaign. Mr..
Morrison's political standing has been high
in the Democratic party in the State. He
has many times been mentioned for Presi-
dent, and his name was prominently be-
fore the convention at which William j.
Bryan was nominated. He was one of the
most promising candidates for the vice
presidential nomination, and had it not
been for the persistence of Governor Alt
geld he might have secured it. His nom
comnittal attitude, however, laid him open
to the charge at the convention that he
was lukewarm, and not Il suitable man to
stand on the platform which had been
adopted.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
TEFTRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 21.-For near
ly a year until tonight Senator Voorhees,
has given no public utterance to his opin-
ions on public questions. He has been too
i'll to do so. The utterance tonight is his
letter to the chairman of the county COM
mittee. who has in charge the arrangements
for the Bryan meetings tomorrow night.
1t says:
Dear Sir-Permit me to express the deep
regret and sorrow | feel at being unable to
participate in the great welcome TO be ex-
ended by our people tomorrow night to
Mr.. Bryan, The able and gifted Democratic
candidate for the presidency. He has
shown himself worthy of all the encomiums
and honors that can be given him by the
American people,. He will carry Indiana;
he will be elected. and the laboring and
producing classes will thereby be vastly
aided in returning to prosperity and happi-
ness. 1t is an inexpressible grief to me
that | have been denied an active part in
the great contest. l wish my friends TO be
assured however, that | stand as l always
have in support OF the issues of the present
campaign as they are laid down in the

Bryan Attacks Harrison.

At New Castle there was a twenty-min-
ute stop, and less than four thousand peo-
pie heard Mr.. Bryan speak. Mrs. Bryan
stood by his side and wrote autographs for
the people. One-half the crowd wore vel
low Mckinley badges, but made no dem
onstration. All were disappointed. both
with the address and with the personality
of the speaker, and no votes were lost by
the Republicans on account of Bryan's Wis
1t. For the first time during his campaign
in Indiana Mr.. Bryan referred TO ex-Presi-
dent Harrison stumping the State in the
interest OF the Republican nominee. He
said that ex-President Harrison was elected
nccnced Mr.. Cleveland's administration on
the ground that he had tried to demonetize
silver and that to-day the former President
was stumDing the State trying to get the
Republicans to indorse Mr.. Cleveland's fl
nancial policy, and that the policy of the
last ADMINISTRATOR was worse on the
money question than the first administra-
ton, but such a change had come over the
Republican leaders that they wanted the
American people to submit to the policy
which they denounced eight years ago.
Considerable comrnotion and excitement
was occasioned by an accident which han

packed the track in the rear of the train
Bryan's car was suddenly and carelessIv
pushed and several persons were
thrown to the ground and narrowly escaped
the wheels. Mr.. Bryan himself came near
being thrown from the platform.

A GEORGIA B~OMBSHELL.
DIR. FELTON,, Populist Nominee for
EIect0r, Out for Mckinley.


ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 21.-A bon Dshell
was exploded in political circles hece to-
day by the making public of
a letter from DIR. w. H. FELTON,, Pcpulist
nominee for ~elector, withdrawing his name
from the ticket and pledging his support
to Mckinley. DR.. FELTON, was at one time
a member of Congress from the Seventh
district and has long been conspicuous in
Georgia politics, His course is construed
by many as indicating that there will be a
general detection to Mckinley from the
Populist ranks in Georgia on account of
the treatment of the Populists' proposition
for fusion at the hands of the Democratic
State committee.
In giving his reasons for going over to
Mckinley DIR. FELTON, among other things
said.
First. I felt indignant at the treatment
Of Hon. Thomas f. Watson by candidate

free to vote as please and shall not

manded us back to the negroes where,
insult to a million of Southern men who
offered TO vote for candidate Bryan on the
condition that MIR. Sewall was withdrawn
and Mr.. Watson made the regular nomi-
nee. The insult was so gross and uncalled
for that candidate Bryan would have been
justified in disp'acing his man Jones as the
smallest PREPARATION that he could offer.
ON Oct. IA the Hon. Thomas 4. Watson

cratic politicians to wipe their feet on UNI

The subcommittee appointed by the Pop

SERIOUS CHARGES.
Asylum Superintendent Accused of

MONTPELIER, VT, Oct. 21.-Dr. Gid
dings, superintendent of the State Insane
Asylum, at Waterbury. was arrested to-day
on five indictments for mistreating female
patients. He was later released on 81, 800
bond. DR.. Giddings is specifically charged
with stripping female patients naked, con-
filming them in a room without furniture
over night and striking them with straps,
horsewhips and canes. DE-. Giddings's in
dictment has caused one of the greatest
sensations known here, and its effect Will
probably be carried into politics and will
creep out during the present legislative SEES
sion. There are five hundred patients in
the asylum.

1T will depend entirely upon the result
OF my conference with Senator Jones'
From the talk around PoDulist headquar-
tiers, it is evident that small hopes are en-
tanned of accomplishing the desired fusion
in Georgia, though Chairman Washburn
still hopes that the matter will be settled
satisfactorily. Unless the fusion is effected
it is strongly intimated that the Populists
will withdraw their electors in Georgia.
THAT means only one thing" said a prom
inent Populist, and that is. that nine
tenths of them will vote for Mckinley and
fuse with the Republicans on the congress
sional tickets. The Populists and Republic
ans there ARE in the same boat. They have
shared the same humiliation and it is only
natural that they should take such action.
There will be some pretty rapid movements
around here in the next four days and
probably heroic measures adopted.

as a remarkable one on account of the
cane rush, which has for several years
been prohibited by the faculty. II it a

senseless and a score of others had their
clothing literally torn to Shreds in a des-

their exuberance the freshmen began the

participants to be a disgraceful affair, and

REED AT PEORIA.
Greatest Republican Denomination
the Town Has Ever Had.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct. 21.-The largest and
most enthusiastic demonstration which the
Republicans have held in central Illinois
during the present campaign occurred here
to-day and was Under the auspices of the
Railroad Mems Sound-money Club. The
city was thronged with people from neigh
boring cities and towns in central Illinois,
and the attendance was estimated at thirty
thousand. Thomas B. Reed, accompanied
by Col. j. Mann, Robert T.. Lincoln and
other prominent speakers, arriv ed in Peoria
in the early part of the evening and in
time to review the monster parade, in
which many thousands participated, in
Guiding railroad men with their many
clever devices, the most noticeable being
fully equipped decorated locomotives. ca
booses, handcars, etc, which utilized the
street car tracks during the parade. After
the parade Mr.. Reed addressed ten thou
sand people in the Tabernacle. while other
meetings We're held in other parts of the
city. Mr.. Reed expressed himself as being
highly pleased at the enthusiasm of the
Republicans of central Illinois, and looked
for nothing else except a tremendous vic
tory for Mckinley and the entire Repub-
lican ticket. The Republicans of the State,
he said, had IN organization, the party
should feel proud of.

A report has reached here from Tennes-
see that Mr.. Bryan's visit TO that State did
more harm than good. A letter received
here from Memphis states that the prirci-
pal object of Bryan's visit 10 Tennessee
seemed to be to aid the election OF r.. w.
Carmack. the free-silver candidate for Con-
gress, who is running against Josiah Pat
lerson, the regular and sound-money nomi-
nee in the Tenth district. Mr.. Bryan did
open work for the free-silver candidate and
thereby offended many of the regular DEM
ocrats. who might otherwise have voted for
him.. He also declared that he did not want
any sound-money Democrats to vote for
him. and any one who stood in the way OF
Carmack's election was to be treated as an
enemy.
