MOUNT AND FOOTBALL.
Candidate Talked Down the Hunting
ton Team at Decatur.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
DECATUR. Ind, Oct. r. = One of the
largest political demonstrations ever held
in Adams county was the Republican rally
here Saturday. BY 10 O'Clock the main
thoroughfares of the city were almost
solid mass of humanity. A grand parade
took place at II 80 o'clock. In the after
noon James A. Mount, candidate for Gov
ernor, addressed a large and enthusiastic
crowd from the courthouse steps. Mount
was introduced by r. S. Peterson. Mr..
rived here, but after talking few minutes
crowd. He confined himself to the money
question. and held the audience for nearly
two hours. He was repeatedly applauded
during his speech. A football team from
Huntington attempted to break up the
meeting by getting in front of the speaker
and giving the warllke yel1s It had but
little effect, and the action of the club was
most severely condemned by ali citizens.
About Z o'clock delegations from Geneva
and Berne arrived when a monster torch
light procession took place. After the pa
rade Charles l.. Henry candidate for Con-
gress in this district. spoke in the Circuit
Court room. which was crowded, not one
third of the people being able to get in.
The crowd present was estimated at five
thousand. The Democrats had a lot of
Bryan badges printed early in the day and
distributed among the small boys. but
they were soon buried in an avalanche of
Mckinley badges.

BRYAN AND THE BANK.
Unpleasant Results of Telling Part of
the Truth.
Philadelphia Ledger.

PnliaQeIpnia Ledger.
When witness is placed upon the stand
he is sworn to tell the truth and the whole
truth, it being held by the shrewd judg-
ment of the law that the suppression of a.
part of the truth constitutes such deliber-
ate deceit as to invalidate all the evidence
of him who gives it. Indeed it is main
such part Of the truth as is helpful and
suppresses such part would be hurtful
witness Tried by this rule of testimony,
the Populist-Democratic candidate for
President does not always appear in the
light Of an unmpeachable witness. Speak
ing at New London the other day he in
dulged, he has often done, in denuncia-
ton of the national banking system, and
especially charged the National Bank of
Lincoln with having wronged him in his
character of confiding depositor. Mr.
Bryan said on this occasion: II know a lit
tie about the banking business; will know
more as soon as l get my dividend on the
amount had deposited In it when the bank

was the direct sequence it has been stated
without contradiction, of the loss Of popu-
lar confidence in its stability brought about
by the agitation for free silver. which Mr.
Bryan has done so much to promote and
maintain.
false, has nothing to do with Mr.. Bryan's
charge that the bank had wronged him.
This charge has elected a reply from the
ohcers OF the institution. They admit that
Mr. Bryan was one of it's customers; that
he was a depositor; but they add at no
time did his deposit exceed $400. and that
on the day of the failure there was de-
posted to his credit the exact sum of
$l3.o3. 1t consequently appears by the vol
untary testimony of the officers of the bank
that Mr.. Bryan's statement that he was
deposltor is true, but that Mr.. Bryan's
transactions with the insrftution did not
end there, and that in giving his evidence
regarding 1t before his New London au-
dience he did not tell al the truth, which,
as one bounden not to bear false witness.
he should have done. That part of the
truth which he forgot or suppressed. ac-
cording to the statement of the bank ofi-
cials. is that, while at the time of the
failure the institution owed Mr. Bryan
as a depositor s7303. there was and there
Stlll is among its assets a note of hand,
which bears the signature of w. j. Bryan
and the Endorsement of his law partner, a.
r. Talbot, for 81 ,000 That is to say that
while the bank owes him s73.o3 as a de-
pOsitor he owes the bank thirteen times
that amount borrower. This latter
fact Mr.. Bryan entirely forgot or sup
pressed, if the statement of the bank off,
cials is true; and: further in the matter
of the loss he suffered as a depositor he
let it be inferred by his audience that it
was a very considerable sum, as it would
be naturally assumed by them that he
would not make a matter of public COM

Bryan's Honesty and sincerity.

Civil Service Chronicle.
A small number Of influential papers keep
up the maudlin sentiment of Bryan's hon
esty" and sincerity" This is in face OF
such repeated declarations that syndi-
Gates control our government, prosperity
never followed the gold standard, dropping
the silver dollar from the coina ge was done
secretly, and so on through long list.
every one of which Is a palpable falsehood
and must be known to be so by Bryan In
addition we have him daily talking about
aristocrats and the rich robbing the poor.
The poor in this country work for wages
and wages rose IA per cent. In gold be-
tween 1873 and 1891; yet this man of sim
cerity and honesty spends half of his time
trying to stir up the hatred Of wage earn
ers against their employers. His whole
daily course since his nomination has been
a blazing falsehood. 1t Is an axiom that
wage earners in this country are the best
rewarded in the world, and their reward
has been upon rising scale for fifty years.
They are q credit to American civilization.
They have not been robbed by their en-
ployers and they do not feel that they have
been robbed. There is a constant COM
petition between labor and capital. but la
Dor has no reason to feel dissatisfied with
the way it has come off. Since 1898 very
large body OF wage earners have suffered
che keenest anxiety for want of employ
ment; but their course has not been one or
bitterness and hatred OF any other set or
men. 1t has been patient and manly and
an honor to them as citizens In the mean
time 1t would be well for respectable papers
to stop talking about Bryan's honesty ana
sinSprty.

the major part of the business section of
