Campaign Work of the District
Democratic AssOciatiOn.

The District of Columbia Democratic As
sociation, through its President, Edwin A.
Newman, has arranged for a series of mass
meetings, to be held in and about the city
of Baltimore, several Of which will be in
B. H. Gamblers district and the follow
ing speakers leave Washington on an early
train this morning TO conduct them: Lem
uei r. Via, of Virginia; Edwin A. New
man, Daniel O'Driscoll, of Maryland, and
Robert E. Mattingly.
Seventeen meetings will be held in the
Second district of West Virginia this week,
under the same auspices. There are also
eleven more this week in st. Mary's Coun-
ty and five on Monday, the 5th, the day
before election. The last of these will be
at the county seat at Leonardtown, the
home OF MIR. Camalier, whom the District
of Columbia Democratic Association has
worked very hard TO make the next Repre-

ISOLATION. under the management of Mr..
Newman. has arranged for this week ff-
teen meetings for Delaware, eight for the
Eastern Shore First district of Maryland,
and fifteen more for Montgomery, Freder-
lex, and Howard Counties. The associa-
ton Is distributing at all these meetings
quantities of literature and large photo
graphic campaign buttons. All of the
meetings thus far held have been largely
attended, and ii is the opinion of the
speakers that the State OF Maryland will
surely give Democratic majority OF not
less than 10000. There will be speaking at
District of Columbia headquarters tonight
at s o'clock.

ard, the man who Henry Youtsey said was
in the office of Caleb Powers at the time
the shot was fred which killed William
Goebel. and who has been a fugitive from
justice on an indictment for that charge,
has taken the stump for Mckinley and
YeTkes. He will speak in Bell and Harlan
Counties. in the heart Of the Kentucky
mountains. where he can be protected
| from the officers OF the law.
/ He surrounds himself with body Of
armed men, which he will keep at his side
during his tour. which will last all during
! the coming week. He made his first speech
at the headwaters of Straight Creek. in
Bell County, fifteen miles from the near
est railroad station
Nearly 100 men rode from all the sur
rounding country to hear Howard speak,
and cheered him to the echo. The men sat
on their horses and listened to the speak
err who delivered his address from the
mountain men had not had an opportunity
for a fair trial in the Goebel case, and
said that he did not intend to surrender.
Judge Cantrill is making a slaughter
house of his court" he said. And all he
wants is more mountain men for hogs and
beef. He thinks that We are murderers
and assassins, so that whether we had any
| thing to do with the killing Of GOebel or
| not, we had best be put out of the way so
| that no mistakes could be made

favor of grinding the faces of the poor
that already overgrown fortunes may be
made greater.
''Mr. Hanna is reported as saying that
there are no trusts and also that the
laws against trusts were passed by Re
pubiicans,' and the lesser lights have de-
c,ared that the Republican party is OPP
posed TO trusts: all this has been for cam
paign purposes.
In the Roosevelt feast only trust mag

safe to make frank avowal Of the real
purpose. and the avowal seems TO have
been kindly received by all present The
fact that a newspaper man was present
and has advised the public of their delib

POLITICS IN PORTO RICO.
The Federal Party Endorses the
Candidacy of MIR. Bryan

The Federal Party Endorses the
Candidacy of MIR. Bryan.
A correspondent OF the New York
Herald" writing from San Juan, Porto
Rico. under date of October %. says:
THE resolution passed by the Federal
convention in Saguas recently. in which
the Federal party pledged its entire SYM
pathy and support to William ]. Bryan,
Democratic candidate for the Presidency,
was protest against the administration
of President Mckinley by more than half
the residents OF this island. Pressure has
been brought to bear upon newspaper cor
respondents in Porto Rico to conceal this
fact.
"At the last general elections in this ISL
and the Federal party had a decided ma
jOrity. 1t is believed they still hold the
majority of votes. Many persons are con-
WINGED that in the districting of the ISL
and for election purposes by the Executive
Council there was gerrymandering that
was winked at by the American members
Of the council. The Governor and his sub
ordipate officials are openly accused by
the Federals of doing all in their power to
help the Republicans. who have officially
declared their allegiance to Mckinley, to
win in the coming elections.
Strange to say. nearly all the army Of
fcers here are in sympathy with the Fed
erals. 1t is not asserted that the rea-
son for this is the slight friction that re-
Gently occurred between the civil and mil
itary authorities in connection with the
San Juan riot, but the fact remains.
''Moneyed citizens of the island, who are
nearly all adherents of the Federal party.
have long felt bitter over the losses
caused by the delay in Washington in
settling the status of this island. They
hoped for much from a civil government.
, They believed that it would at least be a
representative government and entirely
| independent.
When they believed the government to
be taking sides they rose with one accord
and denounced in the strongest possible
constitutional manner the administration
| OF affairs in Porto Rico. In their first
anger they even cried out against the
| American flag. But they reject this Incl
| dent now. and they paid high tribute to
Washington and other heroes OF the
United States at the national conyen-
/ ton.
The Federal party represents the oppo-
sition. While the Federals are in the ma
/ jority throughout the island. for reasons
| limited at, it is not believed that they will
/ carry the House Oh delegates, tnousn tEey
| probably will elect a commissioner to go
to Washington,
The Republican party stands for the
| Administration. At the head OF the slate
published in its newspapers are the names
of Mckinley and Roosevelt. Republicans
are entering upon the election with the
greatest apparent confidence. and goad
their opponents to madness by their de-
nunciatioas and assurances of victory. The
mud singing on either side Is eminently
worthy of the situation
