terday In a speech at the Agricultural
fair at Deposit
In the course OF his speech Senator Hill
touched upon the tariff question. saying
that he believed In an honest revision of
the tarifr laws, so that vast corporate
interests should not be subserved TO the
detriment OF the people.
or the financial interests OF the country
the senator said
The gold standard has been ire
vocably established. 30 that there is no
necessity for a change. The Democratic
party, who established the present cur
rency system. can safely be trusted when
ever the necessity shall arise to make
such changes for the best interests OF the
people"
Speaking OF the essential differences be-
tween the two great political parties the
speaker said: The difference Is that the
Republican party stands for private pur-
poses and the Democratic party for public
purposes
Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican
candidate for the presidency" declared
Mr.. Hill, lis a fraud. At the time he
took his oath of office in Buffalo, after
the assassination OF President Mckinley.
he declared in public he would simply
fill Mckinley's place that he would not
look for the nomination.
Later on the same train with Nc
kinley's dead body he gave out state
ment TO the press to the effect that he
thought he had been misunderstood by
the public, which meant practically that
he was candidate for nomination. The
Republicans had him on their hands and
could do nothing but nominate him"

RECEIVER is APPOINTED
BY JUDGE ANDERSON
Consolidated Bag and Paper Com
pany, of Elkhart, Is Held to
Be InSolvent.
J. L. FREDERICK IS SUED

On petition of Attorney James l.. Har-
man, for the creditors of the Consolidated
Bag and Paper Company of Elkhart. Judge
Anderson yesterday declared the company
insolvent and appointed Melvin W. Demar-
est receiver. Demarest was some time ago
appointed receiver by the Elkhart Circuit
Court. but the extent of his authority was
questioned and the proceedings were in
stituted in the Federal Court. In the COM
plant asking for a receiver it was shown
that the plant was continually endangered
through negligence and lack of authority
to act. The proceedings were given i'm
mediate attention by Judge Anderson and
a receiver was appointed late in the after
noon.
The bankruptcy petition grows out of the
failure of the Elkhart bank Walter Brown
was general manager of the Consolidated
Company and the suit is similar to the one
filed last week against the National Manu-
facturers Company. with which Brown was
also connected.
Another bankruptcy proceeding filed yes
terday involving the president of the de-
funct bank was a petition asking the
Federal Court to declare Justus L. Brod-
erick a bankrupt. The suit was brought
by Barger Brothers, Of Elkhart, Charles NJ.
Underhill. of Buffalo. n. Y, and the
Burgese Sulphite Company, of Boston.
Barger Brothers hold a note against Brod-
erick for 1871. Broderick signed the note,
which was secured by himself and c, b.
Broderick, for the National Tablet and Sup
ply Company. He claims that a mistake
made in signing the name of the Ma
tional Tablet and Supply Company for the
National Paper and Supply Company, which
it is charged is insolvent and has discon-
tinued business.
1t is alleged by the creditors of Broderick
that he has previously committed acts of
bankruptcy and that he allowed Edward
Finn and Horace Hubbard TO obtain judg-
ments against him in order to prefer their
claims. 1t said also that the members of
the National Tablet and Supply Company
may hold preferred claims against him.
