Oct. 15»— Senator Fairbanks ad dreased a large and enthusiastic audience in this city to-night. He said In pert. It is Impossible to exaggerate the importance of Republican success It 1- essential to our con tinued Industrial development and the maintenance of a foreign policy which safeguards American in terests and the rights of American citizens every where. Democratic economic and monetary policies have been hitherto so emphatically rejected by the ATT-.eri"»n people that the opposition industriously attempts to obscur- their oh! issues by new c"!ps. In other words, they attempt to divert the public attention from their att:tu.i<- srttll respect to tha protective tariff a"d the currency by the creation of "al.=j» issues. We. st'.ould beware that we d., :v>t lose »leht of the KTent Questions which cor-orn our industrial ard corn-mere! welfare. Th- e0 rt to raise an issue in th Phili] pines must rot be al lowed to blind us to th© reel prills o: D«mo'r;itio P':.:t!Ui. T'r.rrp i-ar he no Issues more Important than those which have long "Ti-tei! b»^'i*i the Republican ard Democratic fiartles and which are Involved in t^e nr^^^nt campaign. The country is Indebted to the Republican party for the establishment of a sound monetary system. A very considerable and a very apgr^sslve element In the Democratic party openly avows that the monetary question la r.->t permj-nently settled and that it Is only In abeyance. It Is certainly not the part of sound commercial and national prudence to intrust the monetary af fairs of the government to a party which contains a formidable element in avowvi antagonism to r -he gold standard established by the Republican party. Senator Fairbanks will return to Chicago to-mor row morning, and leave In tbe afternoon for Troy, N. V.. wh< re he will speak on Monday night.

Bogus Challenge Lists Sent Into the rillth District. Bogus challenge lists i-ontaining the names of prominent men were circulated In the VlHth As sembly District yesterday, and caused a dee.l of trouble before word came from Superintendent Morgan that the lists were not from his office. The lists, in envelopes apparently the same as those used by the offlca o.' tie Superintendent of Elections, ware handed to trie registry Inspectors aa "supplemental." They took the lists In good faith and challenged men whose names were on them until protests came thick and fas? from Re publicans and Demo-rats. Mr. Morgan ordered that the suppler. lists be suppressed Ottn RMalaky the Republican leader of the VUlth Assembly District, was highly incensed at the discovery of the bogus challenge lists. "It Is the wurk of the Democrats of Tammany Hall to in timidate and frighten the voters of this district."' said Mr. Rosaisky. "These slips were sent out by men who posed as Superintendent Morgan's depu ties. They would rush into i registry booth pul! out these slips in an envelope and demand of the deputies on duty there to challenge the names writ ten on slips. One name was on <-a-h slip and tuev ■were written on a typewriter. When these men were asked to show taeir rhieids they repiiea tn*v wer* in too much of a hurry. ' J "I consider this the work of Tammany to stam pede this district. THe names of many prominent men in this district were written on these silos They were not ail Republic ana, either, It sib schema to scare the voters and discredit the excel lent system of challenging that is the best we have ever dad in this district to -o.iib*; tn* gunc or loafers and rowdies that have been In the habit of voting here. I am perfectly satisfied with the sys tem, and haven't a kick to make against it." A number of other prominent Republicans in the district termed the bogus lists a Tammany Hall trick. ' '^** "Vl.rr!.' Sullivan, the Democratic- leader of the <j.?trlct. denied the charge that the Democrats had anything to do with sending out the bogus lists.
