Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

PARAMOUNT. Inc, Sept. 1.-THE Re-
publican campaign was opened in southern
Grant county to-night with a mass meeting
I'm Parker's Hall, now used as headquar-
ters- Mr.. Lyons, the speaker Of the even
ing drew a large crowd. He stumped the
State in 1856 for Mckinley and ~to-night's
speech was the initial one for 1900. He was
a life long Democrat until after the Chi
cago convention in 1896, when he renowned
Bryan and Populism in a ringing speech In
this city. Mr.. Lyons says he sees more
reasons why he should support Mckinley
this year than in 1896. He Is an active
worker among the laboring classes. A
large Mckinley Club was organized at the
conclusion OF his speech tonight.
Mr.. Lyons made a comparison of the
present financial condition with the condi-
tons OF four years ago. He scored the
Wilson bin. showing that 1t was the low
tarix OF 1893 which caused the deplorable
conditions existing four and six years ago.
Democratic speakers, he said. were en-
deavoring to make political capital out Of
the trust question, insisting that they were
OF Republican origin, because of that
party's tarin policy. but American work
ingmen remember that it was under the
low tariff OF the Wilson bill when they
suffered the most; IL was during that time
that wages were the lowest and two men
for every Job. The window-glass
workers remember the twenty-five and
a half of and when II was
that 1t took place. They also remem-
Der when that cut was restored with 20 per
cent. added. They know that under the
present administration the factories have
all been running and that the prospects
ahead were never brighter"
The speaker was particularly strong on
that part OF his address, referring TO the
situation in the Philippines: ITO my
mind" he said, lit is not whether we
have a moral right to return these islands.
but whether we have a moral right to sail
away from them and leave them and their
interests TO the lawless bands OF the archt-
relago, or to the hungry nations of the
Eastern hemisphere

Bodies of the Dead.

Bodies of the Dead.
NEW ORLEANS. La, Sept. ia spe-
cial from Galveston. Tex, says: 1.-The ninth
day after the storm, and still the grew
some work goes on of recovering the dead
from the gigantic mass of debris that lines
the south side of what remains of the city.
Yesterday 107 bodies were recovered and
cremated Among them was a mother
with a sucking babe. tightly clasped to her
breast. In this Imperative necessity of the
dispatch of the dead tragic scenes are wit
messed that move the stoutest hearts. The
body Of Major w. T. Levy, United States
emigrant inspector of this district, was
among the number. He made a gallant
struggle to save his wife and three chill
dren. All were lost. The bodies Of the
wife and children have not been recovered,
and are still among the uninterred dead.
The number recovered and cremated to-day
has not been reported as yet, but 1t will
exceed 100 or more. The task of recovering
the bodies that are beneath or jammed
into this immense rick of debris. extending
from the eastern to the western limits of
the city, a distance Of over three miles, is
a herculean one, and the most expeditions
way of removing the whole, from a sani-
tary point Of view, is by fire. This. how
ever, in the crippled condition of the fire
department and water works, would en-
danger the remaining portion of the city.
As it now stands, this immense mass of
debris, strewn with dead bodies, the car
casses of decaying animals, ETC., is a seri-
Gus menace to the health of the city, and
is the most difficult problem the Board of
Health has to deal with.
