Politics in Illinois.

When fist came here thought
the people were not very much inter-
ested in politics, but | soon found out
that they were almost equal TO Kan
sas people when there is rally on
hand.
Last Thursday Governor Altgeld
addressed the largest assembly that
ever gathered in Champaign. 80
many have said who ought to know
The procession was akin to a Jerry
Simpson parade. 1t is said it took
two hours to pass a certain point.
There were four or FIVE bands, and
hundreds Of men rode on horseback.
Among the cartoons was a r0presen-
tation of the world rolled by a tumble
bug to represent gOldbug; also the
familiar illustration of the big COW.
Almost everyone had large card
on which was Bryan's picture. One
wagon had live donkey in pen and
the motto Zone Of the Boilers, writ
ten in large letters. Que man had
sixteen bushels of oats in a wagon and
the motto 'l6 bushels OF oats for 81, "
which according to present prices is a
very convincing argument. Men with
grey heads who had always been Re-
publicans, headed the delegations.
Many are turning and the prospect
for Bryan's election is encouraging.
The governor seems to be more pop
ular than ever before. He spoke for
two hours to an eager and excited au-
dience. They had gathered an hour
beforehand, and when the govorner
came they all rose and remained stand
ing during the speech.
AT night after Altgeld mad spoken
in the afternoon, the main streets and
cross streets were thrOnged with peo-
pie of every class. Professions were
formed and marched over the city.
Main street was perfect glare Of fire.
works. Roman candles were fred
from opposite sides Of the streets over
the heads Of the men in the process
sion. Colored fires Of red and green
were burned along the streets as the
procession passed. Bands, tin horns
and yells kept things lively. A rep.
resentative Of congress addressed if
teen hundred or two thousand people
in the city park, but the streets were
still thronged.
The Republicans are making a big
effort; they have rallies frequently
and there are a great many here, in
fact, / think this is one of the Repub.
lican sJrongholds. But it is almost sure
that they will be defeated in Novem-

Congressman BcII of Colorado Ad-
ministers Dose of POpulism.
The announcement that Governor Hol-
comb was to speak at National hall, on
South Thirteenth street, last night drew
quite good sized crowd to that place but
it was ascertained that the governor had
been called elsewhere and would not be pres
ent. Congressman j. C. Bell of Colorado
was introduced as the speaker Of the even
ing.
After indulging in a number OF time
worn platitudes. the speaker played upon
the prejudices of his hearers by seeking
to array them against the moneyed interests
Of the country. telling them that all the
ills which have befalen the laboring man
during the past decade were due to the at
tempts of capital to corner everything, in
cuding the money Of the world
He boldly announced that the present cant
paign is not battle OF the standards, but
is battle of the bcndholders to collect
interest on the bonds Of the world in an
appreciating money. He further stated that
1t Is a battle between the great banking
corporations and the people. hot that the
people shall have either gold silver as
the standard, but that there shall be no
money but such as Is farmed out through
the national banks.
He started to define dollar, but thought
better of it, and substituted the statement
that bmetallsm would increase the volume
Of money, following 1t by asserting that
IAN increase in the ratio of money to labor
or property increases the value of labor and
property" and then he stated the converse
of that proposition, claiming it was equally
true. He claimed that the more money there
was In the country the more dollars the
farmer would get for his corn. The banker,
he said wanted less money so that the
purchasing power Of the money would in
crease and the speaker asserted that if
there was plenty of money prices would
keep up.
The speaker then proceeded to controvert
the idea that the free coinage of silver
would result in flood of the white metal
and quoted a maze CT figures, which he as
serted showed that the bonded debt of the
world was many times more than the total
OF all the gold and silver in the world, and
that all the money that could be produced
would be needed to pay the worlds debts.

SIOUX FAILS. S. D., Sept. 25,-(SpeCia

tonight with blaze of glory. This was
republican day and the McKinleyites turned
out to outdo the Bryan demonstration of
Wednesday. Congressman McCleary was
here to make the speech and the Mckinley
clubs of this city and the neighboring towns
marched to do him honor. The night was
bad one. While Wednesday was clear and
mild, this night was cold and a driZzlnc
rain was falling. Scores Of men. who had
arranged to march refused to do so on GC-
count of the weather, many being afraid
of colds. Despite the rain and the fact that
a large proportion Of the visitors to the fair
had left the last day, the parade contained
946 voters. carrying torches, while the Bryan
parade contained, on a calm, clear even
ing, lis less. It is also true that the Bryan
men had been working up the demonstra,
tion for month, while the republicans had
been rustling only five days. Aside from
the number of voters the parade was far
superior to that of the democrats. There
were twenty handsomely decorated carriages
containing women, beautifully arraycd for
the occasion, and about 100 boys, not to men
ton several bands
This evening Congressman McCleGry ad
dressed 1000 people in the Mckinley tent
and fully 1000 others were compelled tc
leave, failing to gain admission, while hun
dreds stood about the sides in the rain tc
hear of sound money. 1t was the greatest
demonstration ever known in the state. O
the number in the parade more than 500
were residents of Sioux Falls. while the
