work stockades have been erected at all
the different plants to protect men whose
work exposes them to danger from mob
violence.
All through the stock yards there were
not only evidences of preparation for a
long and bitter struggle, but superintend-
dents OF the packing establishments.
police officers and union leaders gave ex-
pressions to anticipation of troublous
times to come. Chief OF Police O'Neil.
who spent the day making plans for to-
morrow, said:
mo one knows what will happen. The
opportunity is here for one OF the great
est labor contests in the country. and ap-
parently there is no hope for averting 1t.
The police will be able to handle the
situation. however, without outside as
sistance no matter what happens"
TRAINLOAD OF
STRIKE BREAKERS.
In addition to four trains filled with
nonunion men brought into the yards to-
day. under police protection, many other
trains loaded with men who had been
secured during the last twenty-four hours
were scheduled to arrive before daylight.
With the number of men already in
stalled within the stock yorda and the ad-
dition of clerks and Office men to the kill
ing rooms work will be resumed in all
the plants tomorrow morning on as ex-
tended a scale as possible These men will
all work under police protection.
Temporarily the packers will attempt on
iy to handle dressed beef. pork and NUT
ton. allowing the by-products to go to
waste. They say, however. that as fast
as the necessary workmen can be OBJ
tanned those departments where the by
products are taken care Of will be opened
up.
LIVE STOCK SCARCE
IN CHICAGO MARKET.
Another handicap the packers will meet
with in the morning is a scarcity of live
stock. Commission for the last week
have flooded the country with messages
advising shippers not to send any stock
to market. 1t also developed to-day that
commission during last week bought
all the live stock they could and shipped 1t
out to the country in the vicinity OF Chi
cago to be fed until after the strike Is
settled.
As soon as the strike is over the inten-
ton Is to rush this stock back to Chicago,
when it is believed exorbitant prices can
be obtained An estimate of the amount
of live stock n the pens OF the packers to-
night was 900 cattle, 5000 hogs and 900
sheep.
The packers claim to have nearly 5000
men, with whom to start operations to-
morrow morning These men are dis
tributed among the different plants, as
follows: Armour & Co: l,0oo; Swift. 100;
Nelson Morris & CO.. 800; the Hammond
Packing Company. 200: Anglo-American
Company. 800; Libby, Mcneil a. Libby. 800.
A report was current tonight that
Cudahy & Co. and the Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger Company would not make any
effort to resume business tomorrow. In
stead, according to this rumor, these two
firms would make a settlement with the
unions and when they opened for bust
ness Il would be with a full force OF
union men. None Of tbs ofacials Of either

The official announcement that the
stockholders Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company now number 4,950-an
increase Of 81 per cent. since May,
19O2-is a significant bit Of testimony
in new quarter to the fact that here
in the United states not only is wealth
increasing, but that it is being more
generally and widely distributed than
ever before.
More men receiving larger wages,
more stockholders getting better divi-
dends. is the condition as regards the
railroads of the United States now as

and a knack for invention. to con-
struct an argument upon "A theme like
that Mr.. Cleveland was evidently i'll

CANDIDATES COMPARED.
Why Theodore Roosevelt Is More Popu-

Why Theodore Roosevelt Is More PopU.
Iar than Alton H. Parker.
The New York Sunday Democrat, a
newspaper that recently bolted Parker
and came out for Roosevelt, in giving
the reasons why the Parker campaign
is languishing and the Roosevelt cam
paign Is boomiF >, says:
Judge Parker has few OF the attrl-
butes Of popularity; Theodore Roose-
welt has them all
Parker is ttmid; Roosevelt is brave.
Parker is controlled by friends and
patrons; Roosevelt Is independent.
Parker represents no policy and has
no political record; Roosevelt Is one of
the acknowledged progressive states
men of the century and his record is
the record of the sunshine years OF
militant and advancing Amcr!canism
AS there is practically no one to
vigorously oppose there is no one to
actively defend Judge Parker rs polit-
iCal standRrd-bearer Theodore Roose-
welt invites the fire Of partisan enemies
and attracts to his support thousands
Of patriotic and earnest admirers.
Judge Parker is weak candidate.
an unwise candidate, an unfortunate
candidate for the Presidency A life
of judicial mouotouy and exclusion
from political affairs does not appeal
to the allegiance OF partlsans. Theo-
d0re Roosevelt Is a strong. ii vigorous.
an inviucible candidate for the Presi-
dency. He is man Of action nomi.
mated FOR an electorate of Astounding
energy, force and progress. He is. es.
pecially, the idol Of the young men of
the country.
1T Is, therefore, not at all surpris-
ing thar as the voters contrast these
two candidates they should be ire
sistibly drawn to one--to Roosevelt.
and should be repealed from or become
Indifferent to his antagonist Parker.
Such is the present trend OF the cam
paign and it is decidedly favorable to
President Roosevelt No reasonable
doubt for his election exists or is en-
tertained by anyone familiar with pol
itics Democrat or Republican"

THEY ARE FOR ROOSEVELT
His Magnetism Proves Attractive to Men
of All Conditions,

of All Conditions.
There is n magnetism in open, fear
less manhood which attracts the souls
of men. The workingmen of the coun-
try recognize in President Roosevelt an
active W rker, n sincere, democratic,
straightout brother man. There is no
tliscounting the uncrring instinct by
which one sturdy man or class of men
reaches swift decision as to character.
Perhaps the rank and file OF the work
ers of the United States cannot give
out long speeches rs TO why they be-
heve in Roosevelt, but the fact is they
know him. That enough.
Put Theodore Roosevelt in a group
Of railway engineers and flremen, or
on ranch in Iuaho; let him sit down
to dinner with a dozen farmers at
country tavern or ride in a ear with
a mining outfit. or a college football
team, or a delegation Of stonemasons,
and instantly he would be sized up,
estimated and acknowledged by any
and all of these representatives of
American life as Il hearty, genial COM
panion, and as strong man and as
a strong lender of men
Evidences multiply, day by day,
showing in what high esteem Presi-
dent Roosevelt is held by the men who
are doing the work of the country; the
work which keeps life going, and
makes the wheels go round And
these intelligent. keen workers, look
ing with clear eyes upon the great
fabric Of society that they are daily
building, know how to pick a leader
for themselves and their country.
Nothing can make the yirile young
manhood of America turn its eyes
away from Theodore Roosevelt Moth
t's can destroy the confidence in him
of the steady, hopeful toilers of mid
die age. And to the old and eX-
perienced the vain appeals of ancient
party prejudices are but as ratings TO
the deaf Young, middle-aced and old
alike in the great world of industry
and traffic, have made up their minds
about the coming election; and when
it comes they are going to show the
faith that is in them
The American workingmen have no
doubts about Theodore Roosevelt.
They know just what TO expect of him
when he is president, and they mean
to have it by electing him.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS y
was pEMOCRACY INSANE ;
If So, Bryan Was Lunatlc, According to
MIR. Cleveland


Democracy has returned to san
ity," said Grover Cleveland recently,
in an interview.
This statement, made with all the
solemn ponderosity of which Mr.. Cleve-
land is capable would imply that the
Democra tic party has been insane and
its leaders a set of lunatics. In pre-
yious interviews Mr. Cleveland con
tented himself with merely saying that
Democracy had strayed from the right
path after strange gods" when it en-
braced Organism, but since the defeat
of the Bryan faction ut St Louis he
has been secretly rejoicing over the
apparent downfall of his most bitter
political enemy, and on Oct ., at Buz-
yards Bay, he virtually declared that
Mr.. Bryan was a mailman.
How do the friends of Mr.. Bryan in
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and other
states relish having their leader called
lunatic? Insanity is lunacy, or mad
ness, and if the Democratic party has
returned to sanity" it must first have
been insane, and, by the same reason
ing, il the party was insane because
Mr.. Bryan was its leader SIR Bryan
himself must have been the chief lu-
natic.
Candidate parkrr IS generally ad-
rnitted to be nonentity in his party
a tool of Hill, Sheehan and others
and what he says counts for little but
1t is different when Mr.. Cleveland
talks. He is the oracle of the Eastern
Democracy, and if lie says Bryan is in
sane it is certain he voices the sentl-
ments of sane" Democracy.
How can the Bryanites indorse such
a SANDER on their leader by supporting
Parker? Mr. Cleveland declined to
vote for Mr.. Bryan o. the ground that
the Nebraskan was iDsan, but he will
vote for Parker because he leads the
sane" Democracy +.,aet
An important point seems TO have
been forgotten by Mr. Cleveland. Par
ker voted twice for the Nebraska 'lu-
matte and was therefore one Of the
host of madmen who composed 'in-
sane" Democracy. Does Mr.. Cleveland
improve his position by now support
ing one Of the madmen who voted for
the leader Of insane" Democracy?
Mr.. Cleveland's thrust at Bryan was
uncalled for, and viii, no doubt, be re-
scented Mt the polls, for the friends OF
Mr.. Bryan do not think he should be
put in the straitjacket class.
