sisstic gathering of democrats at the

James R. Cation, both of whom were at
their best. The facts and arguments set
forth by both gentlemen were practically
unsnswerable, and their speeches were
listened to with close attention. The
occasion was 3 genuine democratic rally
which all present enjoyed. The remarks
of Mr.. S. G. Brent, president Of the
Bryan, Kern and Osrliu Club, in intro
ducing the speeches, we're apt and we'll
delivered. There will be another meet

Teday's Telegraphic News
The Haines Trial.

New York, Oct. %. Blaming the
women of the Fort Hamilton army post
for the alleged decentralization of Mrs.
Claudia Hams, Maj. John P. Hams has
come to the defense OF his brother, Capt.
Peter O. Hams, slayer of William E.
Annis. His story pOrtrsys Capt. Hams
as q devoted, trusting husband, driven
mad by the confession of his young wife,
and unable to resist the temptation to
kill the man responsible for his misery.
As told by Msj Hams, the story is 3
gripping, convincing recital of events
leading to the tragedy. In connection
with the "diary letter." of Mrs. HsiDs
to her husband, in which she wrote jOcu-
larry of drumming" expeditions and
"booze" parties with wives of army
officers at Fort Hamilton, the msjor's
accusations against these women OF the
post is expected to bring about some
startling disclosures. "All the time that
Peter was away" sid the major, CHOSE
women at the army post encouraged this
misguided girl to do wrong. The whole
story of this tragedy is told in Olaudia's
downfall. She became 30 deprsved in a
short time that she was shameless about
writing to Peter, telling of her drinking
and smoking"

BEFORE leaving Philadelphia yeSter-
day for his home in Dsnville, ILL.,,
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, said;
l honestly believe that If Bryan is
elected there will be worse industrial
deOression than We have ever hsd. For
two years we will simply mark time,
and whatever advance We make will be
backward. The two years he will pass
10 trying to get "a House and Senate he
can control, and meantime business Will
wait.
But the New York Herald, from which
the republicans now delight to quote,
says:
No one now fears that Mr.. Brysn's
sleclion would prove an industrial, COM
mercAl aud financial cataclysm.
All such talk as that of Mr.. Cannon
is but to scare the ignorant into voting
to prolong the ROOeeyelt-Oanuon st-
ministrsiioD.
