Tbu ball in whioh was assembled the National Association of Dcinooratio Clubs ut Indianapolis, Ind., on Thnrs dav was throi god with people, probably 5,000 beirg prcsont, but as tho hour approached for tho advent of Mr. Bryan at 4 o'olo"k the aisles were filled and tho hall throngod to a degroo of almost suffocation. After Adlai K Stevenson had concluded, James It. Sovereign, exgrand master workman of tho Knights of Labor, speko, dealing with thoworkingman from a political standpoint. Ho said labor is the foundation of liberty ; _ _ 11 . i. _ .. ?l.i Ill n|| | n?i v\ *M IU. Mr Sovrre'gn was followed by Bishop .1 Milton 'I urncr, minister to Liberia nndor Grant's administration, who spoke briefly and in part as follows: "A groat many of my raco who formed the majority of the negro population in the United States 2.") years ago have already boen promoted and havo gono to their good Christian fathers, but the hoys aro coming forth in looming hundreds and thousands from that palladium and safeguard of American institutions, the public sohool system of our country, and unliko UdoIo Tom and Aunt Sally, they aro doiug their own thinking liko other young Ameri cunH for llicinsolves. "We ooino with a fresh born, disinterested patriotism to put forth our might at this time in the Statos of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, New York and New Jersey and othor States where we havo been making the presidents for the last 23 or 30 years, and we think this time, through our votes, we will bo ahlo to make up such a quota for the rleotion of Win. Jounings Bryan that wo will elect this ticke t without any possibility of MoKinloy defeating it." hryan had to check the cheeiiin'o. As Bishop Turner concluded Mr. Bryan appoared upon the platform^ lie had reached tho city a few minutes hcforo 3 o'clock, hut did not arrive at the hall until a quarter past 4 o'clock. Ho was escorted through the streets by a number of marohingclubs. As soon as tho Democratic national candidate ap pearrd on tho platform there was a shout of greeting, and this noon developed into a demonstration which continued for about six minutes, until there was a call for coi-sation by Mr. Bryan himself. Tbo speech was liberally applauded throughout, and when it was concluded there was a rush to the stage on the part of those iu the audi enco who wished to shake hands with hici. He, howover, avoided this dt inonstration, and soon found his way baok to his hotel. Mr. Bryan said: Til K WORK FOR THE CLUUH "1 apprcoiuto tho woik done and boing done aud to bo doue by this association of Democratic olubs, and I approoiato the energy, tho enthusiasm and the ability displayed by Mr. Iloarst, the president of this association. I bclievo in these olubs. Tho work of Democracy, being a work for tho people, must bo dono by tho people. Wo nocd tbo olubs to help us oolleot money to carry on our campaign. Tho Republican party oau get its money from tbo corporations, which plunder tho pooplo bctwocn campaigns in return for tho money contributed during oampaigns. "Wo oannot go to a trust and apk it to help in, because wo do not expect to bo helped. The Republican party docs Dot oolleot monoy for its national oampaign from one Republican out of 100, and when tho oleotion is over 00 out of 100 ltepublioans have nothing to fay about tho running of tho government. "Wo cxpeot that the administration will be conducted in behalf of tho great mass of tho Aworioan people, and wo havo tho right to call upon them to help with their money as woll as their votes to win this fight, whioh is their fight, and not our fight. Wo need tho olubs to help oiroulato literaturo. If ataiv momlior nt VinnluKo mill ?..? V , V?

We need tbo olubs to poll the votes, for we must do by voluntary effort what the Republicans can afford to pay for having done. RKPU HLICAN8 DO DO I NO. "The Republioan party is not propared to meet the issues of this campaign. The Republican party is today dodging, running from nearly evory issuo in tho campaign. When they started out thoy said tho money question was tho quostion of paramount im porianoo. nut, my mends, thoy found that whon a man says that a question of money is moic important than a question of government he at onoo arousos suspioion, and peoplo begin to wonder whethor he thinks a dollar is jnore important than a man. Think of trying to make the money question paramount in this oampaign! W hy, my friends, when the money question was paramount?in 1896?wo found the Ropublicans trying to mako out that the tariff was the paramount issue. They said, 'Lot us open the mills instead of the mints,' and the first thing they did when they got into power was, not to A . ? reform tho currency but to reform the turitf, and givo the men who ooutrib utod a oliancc to run thoir hands deeper into tho pookota of tho pcoplo. "Now, when tho questions of tho human raco and human liberty uro at utalrn t li n I? ainiKltouno oa*? ij v ? v , iiiu nopuunv^uo nmj i unv \%\%j money question is tho paramount issuo. They wore afraid in 189(5 that wo were going to havo a 50 cent dollar. Now they havo given us an 85 oont oitizon in Puerto Rioo, and they daro not toll us what per oent. of citizenship the Filipino is to havo. In 189(5 they said wo could not have a double standard of money. Now they think wo can have a double standard of government- -a ropublio here and a despotism in the Philippine Islands. They said in 181M1 that wo oould not maintaiu a parity between a whito uiotal and a yellow. 11?>w oan they maintain a parity bo tween a whito citizen and a yellow sub ject in tlio Philippino Islands? Thev rind that it is too sordid a doctrine to say that the ?t*ndard of money you have is more important than the form of government under which you live. WHO RUN 'I'dK ICR TRUST. "And yet, mv frionds, whilo they cannot now boast of tho suprouiaoy ol tlio money question, thoy aro not prepared to moot the other issues. Mr Uauna says thero are no trusts. That settles that question lio ought to ask his wifo. Kvcry wife knows thero arc trusts. Tho only truHt that any Ho publican in this country seems to know about is tho ioo trust, and tho Republicans don't know muoh about that, for if thoy did they would know that every stockholder is a Republican If they knew more about tho ioe trust they would know that its harm was oonfined to the pcoplo of Now York, aud if they knew that thoy had a governor of tho Stato of Now York, a man who would not let any harm oomc to his peoplo, they would know that thero would bo no iee trust there or tho governor would kill it 1 New York has a Republican govornnr unit n Itiinn Mi/....! Ii.ro ?.wl you Republicans who havo boon worrying ho much about the ioo truwt can oaso your minds, for as long as tho governor is out woHt making speeohos, you may bo sure nobody is being hurt in New York. Why is it that no Ropub lican knows anything about tho Standard Oil trust, or tho sugar trust, or tho salt trust, or tho trust of crackers, or tho trust of window glass, or tho envelope trust, or tho writing papor trust, or tho trust in paper that Republican editors uso to writo a defenso of the trusts upon. Why don't thoy know about these trusts? Is it dishonesty or is it ignoranoc? Why is it that no Kopublioan speakors ooino out against any trust except sho ico trust, and why is it that tho Kopublioans in charf.o did not destroy that, so you can boliovc Mr. If anna when ho says thoro aro no trusts? akriiil) of tiie issue. "Tho Republican party is not propared to dofond itsolf on tho trust question, thoreforo they try to got it out of the campaign. Tho Hopublioan party is not proparod to dofond itself on the army question. Thoy say thore is no question of militarism and yet an army four times as groat as tho standing army of 1890 is demanded by tho president's mossago of Deoomber, 1898 How much do wo spend for education in tho llnitod States? Loss than $200,000 000. How much do the Ropublioans want-to spend on a military establishment? Ono hundred million dollars a year. Thoy want to spond more than half as muoh for a military establish mont an wo Bpond Tor tho education of all tho children in tho United States. Is that not a stop towards militarism? What reason can thoy give for it? They can give only ono. Tliat is the one thoy do not givo. Thero aro two reasons which lead men in this country to want a largo standing army? Ono is a domestic one; tho othor isconnootod with our foroign affairs. What domostio reason is there for a largo army? To protect us from tho Indians? No; the less Indians wo havo tho moro army tho Kopublioan party want. That is not tho oauao. Why do they want it? So that thoy can build a fort near every largo oity and uso tho army to suppross by force tho disoontont that ought to bo cured by remedial legislation. WHY THEY WISH A BIO ARMY. "Tho laboring man asks for arbitration and gots a largo army; ho asks protcotion from tho black list and his answer is a large army; ho asks for shorter hours of labor in order that he may have moro timo with his family and for tho development of his mind, and his answer is a large army. Ho asks for roprosontation in the prcsi dent's oabinot in order that labor may bo protected, and his answer is a large army. That is the domestic reason whioh is not given and yet it is a reason ontertainod by many. What is the roason thoy give? Thoy say wo nood it for our foroign polioy but, my friends, thoy asked for tho army before the Amerioan pooplo had ovor dooided upon a forcigh polioy that made a large army neoossar^. "In Dooomber of 1898 whon the presi dent asked for his army the treaty had not been signed, but its terms were understood. Whon tho Republicans congress voted to raise tho army to 100,000 tho troaty had been signed and no arm was raisod against this nation anywhero in tho world. But the Amorioan people had nover voted for a oolonial polioy; up to this time the Amerioan peoplo have never voted for a oolonial ponoy, ana yet tbo ltepublioan party is pledgos to a largo army. What dooa it want with, it? It intends to oxploit the Philippine islands and if you want to understand the roasons for a large army, read tho prospectus issued by the Philippines Lumber and Dovolopment company. You will find that at the head of tho oompany as president stands a republican member of oong.oss who is the chairman of the army oommitteo of the house of representa J m i CONWAY. i tivee, and another Kopublioan oon _ i * r a 1 _ grussuian is imorncy ior me company. What do you waut an army for? Tc hold tho Philippines whilo they aro being developed by syndicates headed by i Republican politicians? THOSE FOOLISH I'llAlUIKS. i "Tho American pooplo have not yet ' decided in favor of imperialism. The Republicans refuse to moot it. Ynu dc I not hoar defenses of imperialism from i thoso authorized to Bpcak. You find [ that now tho Republicans ato trying tc ' hide bohind tirst one subtorfugo aud i then another. They say now that the reason we are in tho Philippines, the i reason our boys arc dying, tho reason a ! largo army is necessary, the roason we 1 cannot come homo is because 1 helped to ratify tho troaty. "My friends, 1 want you to go back a few momcn'sand you will fiud that the Ropublioan party said we were in the i Philippine islands because of the act of i God, and it Is a groat come down from i God to inc. If it is tho hand of God that takes us to the Philippine islands, why do the Ropuhlioaus want to lay it on to a Democrat? If it is well to bo . there, if it is a \ art of tho diviuo mis sion, why don't thoy defend their being there? Thoy claim to he silont partners with tho Almighty, but tho troublo is that they make all tho ifio and thus far tho Almighty has boon the silont partner. Now they say tho war would stop if it wore not for tho Democratic party. Thoy say that tho Ktlipinoj would lay down their arms but for the hopo they havo that 1 may bo olootod Whom vera Itopuhliean tells you thai you tell him that the colonists fought the samo battle that the Filipinos are , fighting aud th< y did it nearly 1U0 years , before 1 was born. "Tell them that the Filipinos issued a declaration of indopoodoneo patterned after ours beforo tho <|UOHtion of imperialism over entered into American politics. Thoy do mo too much honor when thoy say that 1 am responsible for the Filipinos' hatred of foreign domination If thoy have not forgotten tho teach inga of Abraham Linool 1 tiny would know that ho said it was not a party but God himself who planted in the human hoart tho lovo of liberty which no Kepublioau par'.y can take away. So that tho Filipinos would not fight but for tho hopo Democratic suoooss. '"Until human uaturo is entirely ohangod pooplo held in bondage will rise against it whonovor there is a prospoot of sueeoss. God novor mado a raoo that would woloomo a foreign master and 1,000 yoars from now, no matter what party is in powor, the Filipinos will hate us and stand roady to riso against us if wo attompt to hold thorn in va9salago and tax them with 1 out thoir consent. DESTRUCTIVE DOCTRINES. 1 ''Republicans, what wo objoot to is that in order to defend your imporial polioy you havo to lay down doctrines which, if oarried out, will destroy tho right of tho American people to partio ipato in thoir own govornmont. That is our objection to your polioy. If you aro simply going to kill tho Filipinos off and oome homo wo uii^ht got over tho crimo. Rut that is not your policy. You dare not kill them off boeauso you t want to trade with thcrn You would dostroy your trado argument if you kill them. You oannot trado with dead pcoplo. "You want them for subjeots, but you Hhall not have thorn for subjects if wo oan prevent it. You cannot mako subjootR out of thorn without changing our idoas of govoruiuont. You can't 1 hold them in porpetual servitudo without amending your eonHtitution either > openly or indircotly and tho aamo power that can disregard tho oon9itu , tion and mako a subject out of a Kili i pino oan disregard tho constitution and make flubjoots out of tho American peop'o. You havo aw muoh right to disregard the constitution in the United States as you havo in Puerto ltioo. , You havo as' muoh right to exolude , Amorioan oitizons from tho guarantees of thoir constitution as you havo to ox i oludo Puerto Kioans.

Wo have insisted, as all havo insisted who havo defondod tho declaration, that it was not written for a day, nor for a year, nor for a ooni tury. We have oontonded that it was written for all timo and all pooplo and that no nation would over be so groat that it oould not rest soourely on that declaration of indopondonoo.

A dispatch from Georgetown nays, Main street Tuesday morning presented a scene which would do credit to Ma- : nila. Soldiers marched, drums wore boating and the whole town apparently was under military rule, hut such was not 'he ease. Mayor Morgan and tho oounoiluien, to whom were addod ho.v oral prominent citizens, constituting an advisory board, were in Hession and have j been tlir-oussing what wan best to do in the promises. About noon it wan given cut that twenty warrants had been issued f >r the arrest of ringloadorH in the disturbance of Sunday night, and tho?i? were served Tuesday afternoon. NVulter Donison, a negro barber, is eon'idered the ringleader, and is being held responsible, in a largo incaHure, for tbo excitement Sunday night. While it is not gonerally admitted by Miino it in bolievod that by the thoughtlcHH remarks of a few hot heads Sin day afternoon the negroes believed that John UrownAcId would bo taken from the jail by tho whites Sunday night and lynched, and that the ringing nt i ho fire alarm would ho tho signal. A* tho first sound of the boll, tborefore, there was a hue and ory raised, especially by tho negro wouion, ana there waH a general rush to the jail, each bearing some kind of weapon, frotu a rioc reaphook to arillo, and in a fow minutes 1,500 negroes were around tho jail and in the streets ad joining, j The whites nt first did not understand the moaning of this outpour and some of tho prominont citizens, including' Mayor W. 1). Morgan, Col. 8 park man, Sheriff Skinner and othors wontamongst the mob and told them that no one wan going to lynch .John Drowntiold.

Theso and other remarks followed in rapid succession, and the oonsc<|ucnoo was that pandemonium reigned supremo.

As soon as it was learned that tho troops woro ooming tho leaders among tho negroes advised them to go to their homos and stay thoro, whioh thoy have done.

Kverybody had prcdiotod that with tho coming of rain tho Chinese would ooaso firing, but tho effoot was just tho opposite. It was a night of hollowing thunder, roaring artillery, incessant lightning and pouring rain.' "Tho third and last night of horrors was that of August 13th, tho day boforo tho rtiior oatuo. <?n that night tho Chinese woro fairly frantic to break in and kill us. Tho tiring that had boforo seemed furious was tamo oomparod with the hail of Hhot and shell that poured in upen us that night, ltoauio from all quarters, and soomod to bo from every imaginable kind of tiroarm. Wo had roooived reports of tho appreach of tho relief column, and know that it must bo near from tho furious atttompts of tho Chinoso to slay us.
