GREAT HANNA DEMONSTRATION.
Fort Wayne Turns Out in Honor of
Congregational Candidate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. Lone of the
most notable political incidents of this dis
trict was the demonstration tonight in
honor of the Republican congressional
candidate. Robert B. Hanna. 1t included
street demonstration two miles long,
more than duplicating the great parade
Of last night in honor of the national
chairman. New features of a prosperity

which are a direct offspring of the Nc
Kinley law. being represented by several
hundred men bearing torches and following
great wagonload of stockings. The Bow
ser oil tank works searchlight and the
dynamo in operation on a float of the cleo
trio works were also striking features of
the parade. Scores of transparencies We're
borne in the line. The railroad men turned
out by hundreds and were intensely en-
thusastic. The rink was packed to its ut
most limits, and hundreds stood for over
two hours during the speeches of Mr..
Hanna and Judge Taylor. When Mr.. Hanna
rose to speak he was cheered for several
minutes, the reception amounting to an
ovation of remarkable strength and fervor.
He was cheered repeatedly throughout his
address, which was heard by audience
composed chiefly of workingmen. No one
was admitted to the rink until those in the
parade were seated, and hence voters, in
stead OF women. predominated in the au-
dience.
The impression manifested in force to-
night that Hanna has Robinson beaten,
and one of the most prominent of the Sill
yer Democratic leaders admitted that Han
ma would run LOO ahead of his ticket in
the district. 1t is difficult to get even money
in the betting on the race for Congress.
Tonight an organization of business men
for the election of Hanna was formed at

Perry A. Randall. Samuel NJ. Foster and

WASHINGTON, Ind, Nov. 1.-Senator c.
w. Fairbanks addressed a magnificent au-
dience at the opera house tonight. The
building was crowded and hundreds were
turned away. He received the greatest
ovation given to any speaker here during
this campaign. His speech of nearly two
hours length was devoted to Imperialism.
expansion and the remarkable achieve
ments of the administration. He said that
in the last month he had travelled over the
country from one ocean to the other and
that he brought the news of almost GER
tain victory for Mckinley. Mr. Bryan's
election, he said, would be a calamity that
the country would not get over in years.
He denounced the statement of Croker,
that Democrats should go to the polls on
election evening and count noses and If
the noses did not tally with the returns to
throw the election boards into the street"
Such statement, he said was dangerous,
and was nothing more than an admission
of defeat.
The Democrats tried to counterbalance
the Fairbanks meeting by having General
James 3. Weaver, of Iowa, and Henry c.
Bell, OF Illinois, at another hall, but il
was relatively fzzle.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 1-Wu Ting Fang
the Chinese minister. was the principal
speaker at the Founders day exercises at
Carnegie Institute to-day He said in part:
''China has a great deal to learn from
this young Republic. 1 hope, however
that she will learn, not the arts of war
which have for sole end and aim the de-
struction of life, but the arts of peace,
which make for the happiness and welfare
of the people. No nation can become really
great by war True greatness does not lie
in the extent of TERRITORY. nor In the
strength of battalions, but a. the character
of people. From personal observation L
an inclined 70 the belief that the Amer
lean people possess the element of national
greatness in high degree. The test of
the loftiness of character is 20 possess
boundiess power without abusing IT.
Wealth is power. Where can you find such
hands as IN America, with so little attend
ant evil felt by society? / have seen
countries where the rich Cypress the poor
and the poor curse the rich. There money
is the root of all evil The reverse seems
to be the case in America. Here the rich
use the ample means at their disposal for
the benefit OF the people, and the people
have good reason TO bless the rich. In
other words, American men OF wealth are
public benefactors. / have not far to go
for IN example. In your midst you have a
signal instance of this class of philan-
throplc men OF wealth. This institution IS
-
munificence. Here one can find the most
effective means for the enlightening of the
mind and the uplifting of the soul. Books,
paintings, sculpture and specimens of OBJ
jects possessing educational value are
accessible to all persons at all times. The
day will soon come when foreigners will
visit this city not so much to see the great
industrial establishments as to see this
institution, which sheds its refining in
fiuence far and wide. Pittsburg will be
equally famous as great educational cen
ter and as a commercial and manufacture
ing center. May this standing monument
of the public-spirii edness of the founder
ample. May the Founders day. which L
heartily join with you in celebrating, be
ever observed from year 10 year as a
national event"

"Mr Bryan does not confine himself very
rigidiy to facts" he said He stated he
believed in the expansion Of Jefferson,
which did not acquire human beings. but
not in the expansion which did acquire be-
ings in the Philippines. Now, don't know
how much Mr.. Bryan knows OF our history.
but suppose he must have looked at least
at the matter OF the acquisition Of what
was then called the Louisiana Territory,
under President Jefferson, the founder OF
Democracy. The transmississippi country.
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Rocky
mountains, was acquired by purchase pre-
cisely as the Philippines have been acquired
under President Mckinley Leaving out
the Indians, there were i'm the territory OF
Louisiana several thousand civilized beings,
Frenchmen and Spaniards. who were much
more civilized than any people 10 be found
in the Philippines. and President Jefferson
did not even ask their consent and when
they threatened revolt he sent an armed
force into that Territory. just exactly as
President Mckinley sent Macarthur and
Wheaton and their troops into the Philip
pines. Mr.. Bryan says the Declaration OF
independence applies in these cases, but
Jefferson said II did not. and Thomas ought
to know, because he drew up the Declara-
ton of Independence. and the anti-expan-
sionists of that day attacked him and criti-
cised him. He said In letter written over
his own signature that IL was mere folly to
twist the doctrine OF the Declaration of In
dependence so as TO apply TO such cases.
Those are his very words TO people as UNI
fit to exercise political rights IL they
were children; in other words, when no
came to deal with the Louis ana purchase
President Jefferson approached the subject
in a spirit of common sense, and that is the
way We have got to approach the Philip
pine problem"
The Governor then took up the subject
of the regular army, and after discussing
the same arguments to his audience as he
has heretofore used at other places. said.
There Is about one regular soldier TO
every 100 of US. and IL the LOO OF us are
afraid of losing our liberties through the
one man in Uncle Sans uniform we ought
TO lose them. Mr.. Bryan knows there IS
no more danger TO our liberties from the
regular army than there is from the JUS
tices of the peace and the constables. II
can't be used in foreign conquest. / hope
the army can be reduced when the trouble
in the Philippines ceases, and the trouble
I'm the Philippines will cease just as soon
as Mr.. Bryan and his supporters them
selves cease from aiding and abetting the
men over there who are shooting at our
flag"
