TURPIE.s NEW CLAIM.
Must Have Free silver to Trade with
Our Island TERRITORY.

Our Island Territory.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. Ex-senator
Turpie spoke in this city tonight at the
courthouse and was greeted by a large
crowd. to which he was introduced by ex-
Congressman John E. Lamb. The senator
spoke for over an hour. He traced the
origin and cause for the late war; scoring
the administration for it's neglect of the
soldiers. The speaker favored the govern
ment of our possessions in the Philippines
and Porto Rico in the same manner in
which the district of Alaska was governed.
He bitterly attacked the administration for
not having recognized the freedom and in
dependence of the Cuban people before COM
mencing war in their behalf and limited
that 1t was owing to the heavy holdings of
Cuban bonds. The free and unlimited coin
age of silver was advocated strongly and
peace and prosperity were promised when
such a currency was adopted. MIR. Turpe
showed that the possessions wrested from
Spain have been upon a silver basis for
four centuries and endeavored to prove
that unless the same monetary basis was
adopted by this country commerce would be
next TO impossible. Senator Turpie leaves
tomorrow afternoon for Evansville, where
he will speak Friday night

Three Places Recommended by the
Hecker Bon I'd of Selection

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-The final selec-
ton of camp sites for the American troops
vino will garrison Cuba awaits the Presi-
dents return from Philadelphia Although
discussed at some length at the Cabinet
meeting yesterday, the various reports of
the Hecker board were not finally disposed
of, and it is probable that the Cabinet will
feel that it should take some expert adj
vice before making final selections. The
troops will not be landed at any one place,
but each detachment will be landed at the
nearest and most accessible port to the
place which is to form its camping grounds
Among the places that have been recon-
mended by the Hecker board are GUIANA
bacoa, which can be reached best from
Regla. opposite Havana, on the bay: Mari
ano. about six miles southwest of Havana,
with a seaport at Playa de Mariana, and
Mariel. on Il bay of the same name, about
thirty-five miles distant from Havana and
beyond Mariana. All these sites fulfill the
needs of good camping grounds, but in each
case the Hecker board has found that there
must be considerable expenditure by the
government If permanent landing places are
TO be provided so that the troops will not
run the risk of infection in passing through
Havana.

Split ON the County Seat Question.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR, Ind, Oct. 26.-Politics in
Jackson county are all torn up and the old
time politician are at sea as to what will
be the outcome Of the discussion which has
now reached both of the old political par
ties The first rupture occurred when the
ring Democrats at Brownstown adopted
rules for the regulation of the county pri-
mary by which the Democrats residing in
the eastern part of the county were dis
franchised and were not permitted to have
any voice in the naming of the candidates
on the Democratic county ticket. The rul-
ing of the gang aroused the Democrats of
the eastern townships and they decided to
fuse with the Republicans in the naming
of county ticket The Republican county
committee was called together and the ma
Jority voted to place in the field a fusion
ticket. The convention was held and the
ticket named. The Brownstown wing of the
Republican party fought against fusion and
called a meeting to be held in that city on
Oct 8. At that meeting there were tweG-
ty-seven people present, thirteen of whom
Iesloeo in the town OF Brownstown and the
other fourteen in adjoining western town.
SHIPS. A ticket was named at the meet
ing and resolutions adopted. Since that
time all the Republicans, with four excep-
lions, have refused to allow the use of their
names candidates.
1t is pain the courthouse fight will enter
largely into the fight for the control of the
county Offices, The western Republicans
will almost vote to a man for the ticket
favorable to Brownstown, while the east
ern voters, regardless of party, will vote
for Seymour men or the ticket. The cleo
ton commissioners nave been named and
one of them is Frank Brannaman, of
Brownstown, the man for whom w. n. Nc
Donald, of this city, was unseated in the
state Senate in 1881 In order to defeat Gen.
Benjamin Harrison for the United States
Senate. The other commissioner is d. b.
Vance, also of Brownstown, and although
he was formerly a Republican, he is now
one of the courthouse ring. This action
places both OF the commissioners in the
hands of the ring and is intended to shut
out the fusionists from having representa-
ton on the election boards. The night over
the county offices will in no way interfere
with the state or congressional candidates,
and they will receive the usual Republican
vote in the coullts

How much property iian will leave

health The man who suffers from ILL
health stands little show of being a sue
cessful business man. The man who comes

drowsiness, who goes to his meals without
an appetite and losses restlessly through

phans. Success is even more dependent
upon health than upon ability.
Few men realize these truths. They
think that everything can be accomplished
by work, and that health is a secondary
consideration. Work is useless unless 1t IS
good work, and good work is never done
save by thoroughly healthy man. Dr.
