MUNCIE, Ind, Sept. 24.-While spending
the week In Muncie last week Dennis A.
Hayes. president of the Green Glass Work
ers' International Association, of Philadel-
phia. surprised his Democratic friends and
delighted the Republicans with the an
nouncement that he would this year for the
first time support the Republican ticket.
In discussing his views Mr.. Hayes said:
81 do not allow politics to mix in my
business affairs, yet of course L cannot
help thinking how politics and business go
together. 1t is but natural. l hope for Mr..
McKinley's reelection from the working
mans standpoint. l go into facts when

when the Wilson tariff law became effec-
tive our trade was reduced 10 per cent In
wages. After Mckinley was elected We
received a restoration of per cent, and
this year the remaining per cent. or the
original cut of 10 per cent.
Mr.. Hayes then discussed the policy of
expansion. which he indorses. This Ma

course. Well, therefore, we must have
newly developed markets. Every one re-
ports the Philippines being islands of
great promise. What is the reason, then.
for letting them go? They will become
trade centers for American products, it
seems to me. Mr.. Mckinley has given the
American people sound administration.
The United States have prospered under
him. ! am willing to him continue for
four years more. Workingmen have pros
pered under. him, and am workingman,
holding an Office of honor in trade at
which worked for years.

SECOND DISTRICT GAINS.
Chances Are Decidedly Favorable TIC
the Rcpublicans-The Causes.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Ind, Sept. 24.-The Sec
ond Indiana Congressional District bids fair
to be represented in the next Congess by
a Republican. Never in the history or the
politics of the district were so many Re-
publicans working individually to bring
about that result, and never before wa,
there such an open dissension in the DEM
ocratic ranks. Hundreds of Democrats who
supported Bryan in 1896 have declared their
intention to support the business-like adj
ministration of President Mckinley this
year. And but few Republicans have de-
clared for Bryan. The latter are for purely
personal reasons and their influence is not
material.
The greatest losses to the Democrats are
in the counties of Daviess, Martin. Law
renee, Knox and Monroe. One of the Re-
publican organizers has secured the names
declared their intention of voting for Nc
Kinley this year, and, although he has been
diigent, he has learned of but nineteen
Republicans who are "off." These are be-
ing Systematically looked after and the
probability is that most of them will he in

dustries of Lawrence and Monroe and other
counties have been given such an impetus
during the past three years that there is
no disposition anywhere to do thing that
Will lead to change. Hundreds of addi-
tional quarrymen have been employed at
better wages than formerly, and the out
put has been so great that the promoters
of these great industries have been enabled
to turn the Cleveland deficit into a Nc
Kinley surplus. They have made
thousands of dollars whereas they lost tens
Of thousands and were idle the greater part
of the time.
The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern and
Southern Indiana railways have made such
vast improvements within the boundaries
of the Second district, during the past two
years, that many hundreds of men have

industries have gown in Importance and
the output has been enormous, in contrast
with the busness-wrecking days of Cleve-
lands administration. Hence the miners
have had almost constant employment at

The farmer has received good prices for

the Kentucky at New York. the Vicks-

Of the ships are small. there will be a
nucleus OF heavy fighting ships which will

that future complications should neces-
state an American demonstration in Ash

should be necessary, the Pacific fleet, which
consists OF the battIeship Iowa. the cruiser
Philadelphia and a number of smaller
fighting ships, would be in a position to

Rear Admiral Remey will remain in COM
