BATTLE FLAGS WANTED.
Needed for the National Encampment
at Chicago.

Captain w. III. Armstrong received an i'm
teresting letter yesterday from A. D. Shaw,
national commander Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic. Commander Shaw says the
Pageant Of Patriotism" is to be a brilliant
feature of the spectacles provided for the
entertainment of the veterans during their
National ~Encampment in the Windy City.
He says, however, that he is experiencing
considerable difficulty in securing the fifty
genuine battle flags which will be required
to produce the spectacle adequately. The
State government of Illinois is either I'M
able or unwilling to furnish them. Mr..
Shaw appeals to Captain Armstrong to try
to get as many flags as he can from the
Governor of Indiana. Captain Armstrong
consulted Governor Mount yesterday in re-
gard to the matter, but was met with a
fact of which he was already aware-that
by a recent law of the Indiana Legislature
all battle flags are to remain in the custody
Of the state geologist in the State Museum
and are under no conditions to be removed.
Captain Armstrong regretfully wired the
commander that compliance with his re-
quest would be impossible.

vance OF the meeting which he will adj

was talking with the chairman of our coun-
ty committee yesterday" said Mr.. Foulke,
land he told me he had never known a
time when the farmers were more earn
est-in a quiet way, without making any
great demonstration-in their desire for the
success of Mckinley. They have, / think,
realized the advantages of a Republican
administration and the total discredit cast
Ipon the prophecies of Mr.. Bryan and the
free silverites four years ago. when they
told us that the values of wheat and silver
corresponded, and that silver. rather than
gold, was the stable measure of the gen.
eral average of values. They know now
that this is not true, and that the proph-
ecies CT the ruin which was to follow the
adoption of the gold standard have not
been realized. Having seen how thoroughly
Mr.. Bryan was discredited upon this ques-
ton, I think they are not inclined TO trust
him when he ~prophesies that ruin TO all
republican institutions will follow our keep
ing the Philippines. I think they will fol-
low the old maxim of the common law,
which says that when a witness has testf-
fed untruly in respect to one material
question he is not to be trusted upon other
questions. The Democracy demanding
present confidence by virtue OF its past
discredited prophecies is a remarkable spec
tacle, but not at all convincing"
Mr.. Foulke was asked for an expression
of opinion as to the policy pursued by the
administration throughout the Chinese sit
uation.
II cannot see how IL could have been bet
ter" he replied. Il think 1t has COM
manded the approval of nearly everybody
except Mr.. Boutwell,, and when Mr.. Bout
well holds up China as an example to be
followed by us L do not see that there is
much use arguing with such a man. The
people who want the condition of America
to be like that of China to-day ought, or
course. to follow Mr.. Boutwell, and vote for
his candidate, but i do not think that class
is large enough TO insure Mr.. Bryan's cleo
ton
In his address tonight Mr.. Foulke will
discuss the important issues of the present
campaign in his eloquent and pungent
style. 1t is believed that no other man in
the State could more thoroughly and sue
cessfully answer Mr.. Bryan's pet argu-
ments than to-night's speaker. A large
turnout of Republican clubs is expected.

announced that DR.. Flavius J.. Van Norhis
would talk briefly about Club Organiza-
tion.' Only three people left the tent. DR..
Van Vorhis took the hint" and confined
his remarks TO a time limit Of but ten min

our Offices although he did not specify
whose office. and that its object is TO bring
speakers directly TO the people. He adj
mitted that there was a certain amount of
secrecy observed by the "Stalwarts," for"

long to IL. but you must not give away the
name of any of the other members. There
are some people this year hat do not care

matter" DIR. Van Vorhis said he hoped a
club might be formed in Brightwood in ac-
Cordance with the objects and purposes of
the Bryan Stalwarts," which are TO sup
port all the tickets nominated by the
Democrats, from presidential down, and If
they did not care to do this he wanted them
to form some sort of a Democratic club
anyway. The speakers in the tent tonight
