SAVE THE REPUBLIC.

Continued from Fifth Page.
ladies' club were scraped together the
lineup was not equal to half of that
of the democrats. Again. they were
foiled in an attempt to blockthe latter s
parade at Second avenue and Nine
teenth street while the democrats
passed east on Third avenue and
around Spencer square. 1t was the
formers purpose 10 cut down Nine
teenth street after the latter had
passed and head them off at Second
avenue. But the democratic parade
was so lengthy AS to hold them back
till the head of the column got past
the objective point and the republi-
cans had to bring up the rear.
The last element of failure in the
republican attempt was that it didn't
get the crowd. TO be sure the weather
frowned upon their unholy cause, but
that does not offer a legitimate ex-
cuse, for it isn't characteristic of the
following to go in when it rains. The
meeting was held under roof in the
driveway at the pillow shop. and if
there had been any tendency mani
Tested to go in out of the rain there
would have been n crowd. But, as a
matter of fact, the showing was very
meagre and not over strict in atten-
ton.

The man who has charge of Mr.. Nc
Kinleys farm is w. j. Adams, former
ly of Canton, but who was raised in
Pennsylvania. He is farmer who
understands his business, and it is said
in the vicinity that there is not a more
prosperous farm in all that section.
Mr.. Adams family consists of Mrs.
Adams, two boys and two girls. One
hired man is kept the year round, and
two are employed during the busy sea-
son of the year. Mr.. Adams works the
farm on shares. He has a half-inter-
est in everything. The fences are all
kept up, and there is an appearance of
neatness which marks his work. Mr.
Adams has lived on this place for the
past twenty years, and Mr.. Mckinley
is delighted with him.
The residence is a two-story Struc-
ture built sixty years ago by man
named Hostetter, who, by the way,
was interested in the Big Sandy canal,
and had it succeeded would have fin
ished the house. But the railroad
came through, and the first boat that
Was SellL uOWll the CtUdt SOl caught III
the tunnel not very far distant, and it
was impossible to get it out. This was
the only boat which ever made trip
on the Big Sandy canal. Mr.. Hostel
ter was never able to finish the house;
so to this day a number of the rooms
have not been plastered. This resi-
dence is now getting old in appearance.
1t contains eleven rooms. The porch
is about the size of McKinley's famous
porch at Canton, and then on to the
upright part there is a wing which is
a story and a half in height. The
lawn is well kept, and morning glories
grow upon the fences at one side.

Yale's football coachers surprised the
spectators at yesterdays practice by
playing at left end rush Harry Benham,
the freshman star whom they sent back
to the freshman squad last Tuesday, de-
claring that 13S-pound player would
not do for end at Yale. Benham was
warmly applauded by the crowd when
he took his position. He was taken to
West Point last night. and will proba-
| against the cadets.
Calling Benham out again Is COM
plete backdown for some of the Yale
coachers. His showing was so phenom
email during the first day he was played
on the varsity squad that all Yale
clamored for a thorough trial of the lit
tie fellow.
More of Yale's veteran injured play
ers were able to resume their positions
on the varsity yesterday. Olcott came
back to center, Hale lined up at full
back and Chadwick played for the first
time since the Columbia game. All of
these men will play a short time against

HARVARD MEN CONFIDENT.
An Official Statement Regarding the
A "a L.,

An Official Statement Regarding the
McCracken Affair
Cambridge Mass, Nov. 2.-The Har-
ward football team with the Pennsyl-
vania game only day off held open
practice this afternoon and fully 2,00o
students cheered the team heartily.
The eleven seemed to think themselves
on exhibition and played brilliantly IN
spite of the fact that there were Penn
sylvania men present. They even
went through a number of trick plays.
The signal practice was dashing and
full of life. After that the backs prac-
ticed kicking Ellis made some beau
tiful long punts and seemed in good
condition for the game. The most bril-
liant exhibition was by Kendall, who
made a number of tries for goal He
outdid Burnett in goal kicking and 1t
Is expected that he will be able to score
in this way tomorrow. The practice
ended with a few kick offs to the var
sty The interference was beautifully
formed. The entire Harvard manage
ment seemed confident of the game.
The Pennsylvania guards back play
has lost its terrors owing to the sue
cess in which the defense has been
built up for it.
The Harvard team is much heavier
than it's opponents. The Harvard rush
line averages 1S9 pounds, while Penn
sylvania is 1853 In the back field Har-
ward has the advantage. The average
weight. 40 against 1853 for Pennsyl-
vania. The average weight of the
whole team, 1St for Harvard to 176 for
Pennsylvania. All the Harvard men
are in good condition. Kendall has
had a leather pad for the front of his
jersey to protect his cracked breast
bone. He seems to be ready for hard
game.
Professor Hollis tonight gave out
the following definite statement in re-
gard to the protest Of McCracken:
"The Harvard athletic committee has
never protested McCracken. All that
was done was this: I wrote down to
the University Of Pennsylvania asking
the facts about McCracken. Pennsyl-
vania answered it and they have a
perfect right to interpret their rules and
we must stand by their decision. I
may say that il McCracken were a
student at Harvard he would not be al |
lowed to play on a Harvard varsity |
team under our Interpretation of the |
rule l have never authorized the |
statement that there would not be a !
game between Harvard and University |
If Pennsylvania next year"

SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY.

A Big Mass Meeting Held on the Green
Last Night.
The socialist-labor party held a mass
meeting on the green last evening with
Charles Mercer of Bridgeport as the
principal speaker He spoke on the
issues of the campaign from the social
list standpoint. and condemned both the
old parties in severe terms. On the
question of expansion the speaker quot
ed Chauncey M. Depew as saying that
the working class produces $4,000, 100000
more wealth than they can consume,
and consequently the capitalists must
expand or bust. On the question of
machinery he said that improved ma
chimes are not so bad in themselves, but
it's the private or capItalistic ownership
of them that causes the mischief. To
prove his point he gave the following
If | take a knife and stick
it into a child it is putting it to bad
use, but if I use the knife to pare an
apple or cut a pie, | use it for a good
and useful purpose. It's not the knife
that does the harm, its the power be-
hind that Yields it, so with machinery.
The owner uses it to produce cheaper
and displace labor, and therefore he
uses it against the working class, and
the only way to make machinery good
thing was for the working class to cap
ture the socialist-labor party and trans
fer the machinery of production from
private hands into the hands Of the peo-
pie as a collective body, and thereby
making it blessing instead OF a curse
as at present.

naturally the plot is conspicuous by it's

a good purpose by putting everyone
into good humor. The same bill will
be repeated this afternoon and evening
with the prospect of large attend
