RKPI'llUt' SPECIAL. Lexington. Mo.. Oct. 19. The biggest find most eathus'astic gathering which has greeted the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor during his present tour of the coun ties was that at Marshall. Sillne County, to-day Between 1S.00O nnd .CO) persons were present. Concerning the record breaking nature of the attendance Mr. Dockery said that It was the biggest dem onstration of the campaign outside of the laree cities. Those who remember the outpourings which greeted Mr Dockery at Greenville. Ironton. Potosi, Clinton. Neosho and Rich Hill can placs some estimate on the charac ter and size of the Marshall meeting. It was fortunate for many present that a barbecue had been arranged, else they would have gone hungry, for the three ho tels and the eating-houses were swamped with the demands on them. A big excursion train of six coaches was run by the Chicago and Alton to Marshall from Kansas City, carrying crowds from Jackson. Lafayette and Saline countlej In to Marshall. Another was run by tho Mis souri Paclflo from Versailles. Every road leading to Marshall was alive with a holi day crowd from early morning till late In the afternoon. The Dockery party was net at the train by a mounted delegation from the Bhackleford Democratic Club and try a reception committee In carriages dec Brated with flags and bunting. Dockery at Marshall. Btmoottng Chapllne, chairman of the Coun ty Committee: Representative Matt Hall and Edward T. Orear, whose home town Is Marshall, and who came from Jefferson City to attend the rally, were members of the Reception Committee. Marshall Is dis tinguished among Missouri county seats by the fact that Its Courthouse square 19 sur rounded by asphalt-paved streets; as perfect as a boulevard In Buffalo. Ropes had been tretched to keep horsemen and vehicles oft these streets, and there the divisions of the parade formed. Two big bands, car riages containing Mr. Dockery and the Re ception Committee, a large number of ve Moles decorated with flags, bunting, tissue paper and lithographs of tho Democratic candidates, and 702 horses, actual count. lome carrying a double led. and all elab orately caparisoned, formed the parade. There were strong delegations from every one of the twelve townships In Saline County. A crude uniformity, both In mounts and decorations, was adhered to In the dele gations. Each marshal horseman carried a picture of Alexander Dockery, mounted as a banner. Another delegation must have tripped the county of white horses to get its uniformity of mount. In another dele--vtion web pair ot horsemen carried ban-' aer Inscribed with a Democratic epigram. like "Ripubllcs Need No Big Standing Armies." One horseman represented "McKlnley Prosperity." He was ragged and unkept and rode a horse whose boney protuber ances and general decrepitude bespoke long training for the stunt. A number of empty dlnner-palls dangled from the horses' girts. One party of horsemen rode standing on their saddles, and ridiculous Rough Riding antics behind a banner Inscribed "Roose can not support william Mckinley. For Forty Tears a Republican, Captain Piggott Will Sow Vote for Bryan. JUEPT7BLIC SPECIAL. Qnlncy. I1L. Oct. 13. Captain Michael Piggott. & lifelong Republican, who for six teen years prior to Cleveland's first term was Postmaster here, has received a letter from John J. Mealy of Chicago, a member of the Republican Veterans' Yates Club of Illinois, asking him to aid In the or ganization of an auxiliary club. Captain Piggott's reply Is In part as fol lows: "For about forty years our political work' and sympathy have been In accord, but now I must say, no' to your appeal. I could not follow "William McKlnley or his supporters after he turned from freedom to Imperial methods, and allowed his Sec retary of State to reprimand Consul Gen eral Pratt for presenting an American flag to a Filipino commltteo at Singapore as an emblem of the liberty that Agulnaldo and their brothers, then our allies, were fighting to attain. Then ho cabled an army commission to W. K. Brico at Hong Kong. In charge of the Brice syndicate con cession In China. In order that he might proceed at the expense of the nation and In advance of our army to Manila, to turn American guns against the Filipinos, In order, that Republicanism might not dis turb tho British colonies at the gates of India, and to furnish a base from which the Brice syndicate, organized by and largely composed of Ohio politicians, co operating with British capitalists, might exploit the Chinese Empire; monolopllze Its mineral resourceaand Its cheap labor. T note what you say about Democracy being the enemy of pensions, but I cannot apply your objection to Democracy as now organized. I am sure no Democrat could do more to deprive the wards of the na tion of their dues under the law than has been done by the present Commissioner of Pensions, who la held in his position against the protests of more than IOO.OiO soldiers. If successful In November. Hanna will bo apt to follow the advice ot Cecil Rhodes when he advised us to hold the Philippines, and If the people grumbled over the expense to abandon some of the pension list which the Chicago Tribune last March said.

For Iho baritone a wire fence had been thrown around the Courthouse Miuare and long tables of fresh unplaned pine planks had been Improvlred In the lnclosure. There from early morning until noon a iuad of several hundred volunteers from Marshall, men and women, prepared the food for tho multitudes. Thousands of chin plate and half-pint tin cups had boen provided. On each Plato was a Lis cut of beef or some meat or fish and a pickle sandwiched between slices of bread. The tin cups were filled with sweetened Mack eolTee. Eight large beeves, y) pounds of flh. -O'-O loives of bread, five sheep. seen hogs. jTX) chickens, fifty hams, threo barrels of pickles and twenty bushels of potatoes were consumed, besides the contents of about ICO country baskets, added to the pool by townships. Pocket knives nnd natures tools alone were used by Ihc dinprs The signal for dinner was given to all four side of the court house square by the bell 1n the courthouse belfry. When the barbecue was first planned It iai supposed that Conartssman Joe Bailey of Texas would be the principal speaker "When about u week ago it was found he could not come. Mr. Dockery con sented to arrange his engagements to be at the rally. This faot was extensively ad vertised an! according to the local com mittee, ndfied to the enthusiasm und In creased the attendance. It had been planned that Mr. Dockery should speak from a stand in the court house square, but the condition of his voice forbade. He spoke In the Opera-houso to an audience that crowded ever- inch of space la aisles, gallery. lobby and on the BtSBe- . . r. Not one-tenth of the persons who wished to hear the speech could gain admittance. Tho overflow was addressed in the Court house square by Major R. W. Nichols of Marshall, who in ISM was a Palmer and Buckner elector, and stumped the State in behalf of that ticket. Mr. Dockery's speech was a presentation of the reasons why the Democrats should be retained In power In Missouri and placed In power at Washington. The hall was too tmall for the cheers and applause that greeted the speaker's telling points. Con gressman James Cooney introduced the speaker, and declared his Impression that a DO.CW Democratic majority would be rolled up by Missouri next month. Attorney General Crow reached Marshall on an afternoon train and addressed a mag nificent gathering in the Courthouse square after Mr. Dockery had completed his speech. He dwelt on State Issues. In the evening Mr. Dockery addressed an enthusiastic gathering of over 2,000 persons In the Olera-house at Lexington, which Is one of the truly metropolitan possessions of the county fat of Lafayette. It was a difficult Jump from Marshall on the Chicago and Alton, to n connection at Higglnsv Hie, with a Missouri Pacific for Lexington. A lucky delay which met the Missouri Pacific train below Ulgglnsvllle saved the Dockery party a drive of fifteen miles across country. JOHN C. LEBENS. GEORGE DANIELS NOW FOR BRYAN.

The Bank of Bron augh. fifteen miles southwest of Nevada, was dynamited and robbed and Constable William Mornn wos killed in a fight with tho robbrrrf early this morning. About 1 o'clock Mr. G. O. Blau was awakened by a shot In tho direction of tho bank. Ho aroused Doctor Holme3 and Doctor Donovan, his neighbors. They heard a shot at the hotel about half a block away and across the street. Immediately following the shot they heard some one groan and thought the Marshal had killed a robber. The three citizens promptly opened flro in the direction of tho bank, which Is Just across the street from tho hotel. It wns so dark that they were unable to sec anything but the flash of the powder when the robbers commenced re turning the fire. They believed that Mr. Moran was standing on his porch engaged In tho fight with the robbers. Not a word was rpoken that tliey could hear, during tho fight. During the firing successive explosions were heard Insldo the bank as one party of the robbers steadily worked a way Into the safe. There were evidently three robbers on tho outsldo who held rtspectlvo positions near the hotel and bank. The citizens heard the balls whistling near them. Two balls struck the corner of the Blau store and one buckshot struck tho corner of the doctors' ofllco. As nearly ns could be ascertained, fifty shots were fired. Tlio number nas about equally divided between tho two parties. The robbers stopped firing first and slipped away In the darkness, apparent ly without being hurt. They had rervo enough to stay until the Job was entirely completed, though they were probably un der tire about fifteen minutes. It wns thought there were five robbers, three of whom acted ns guards on the outside whllo two did the work of blasting. Money lllonn to lMroen. Sheriff A.

Charles llrubaker, the owner and cashier of tho bank, said the safe contained tl.Co. Of that amount, u few dollars In silver and the fragments of four J10 bills were found in the debri. The paper money had Iveen blown to pieces, o that It was barely pos sible to recognize its denomination. A small votellne bottle, which had evidently con tained nitroglycerin, and a little chunk of solt soap, partly wrapped In brown parer. t had been left by the robbers on the safe. I A cold chisel alid a pick without a handle were al&o found In the room. The robbers carried away all the notes and valuable papers of the bapk.

Ervnn Tnallf- tMo TYnrntnr his IttA n ,i .,, ., ., ,- t,.,. . , ! cePt'ns 'e nomination for President given J him by the Silver Lincoln Republicans. In the letter, which is a brief one, Mr. Bryan quotes from Abraham Lincoln In de fense of tho principles enunciated In the Declaration of Independence. He adds: "In 1S95 the money question was the ques- tlon of paramount importance, but the Re ATHLETIC PRIEST APPEARS IN TRUNKS. The Ueurend M. O'Flaherty Wins Contest for Putting ."G-Pound Weight in Coliseum. HIS CALLING WAS NOT KNOWN. Assistant Pastor of St. Vincent's Church Was Filtered Merely as "M. O'Fiaherty" His Iden tity Developed Afterward. M. O'Flaherty was announced as the win ner of the contest for putting a tlfty-sl-pound weight in the Coliseum last night. The name blng a new one In athletics hereabouts, many persons wondered who It could be, as the man put the heavy weight in a style that proved him no novice at the gnme. An Investigation developed the interest ing fact that M. O'Flaherty was nono other than the Catholic priest of that name, who !. tho assistant pastar of St. Vincent's Crurch. nt TaIor and Enston avenues. When Interviewed by a Rrpublle reporter after his easy win. Father O'Flaherty did not seem to like the Idea of his feat being made :i matter for publication, but. never theless, did not hcsiO'0 to give a few facts about himself, so that people might know he was an athlete "in his day." Father O'Flaherty has been in America only three years. Previous to coming here he was a winner In many weight-throwing contests In Ireland, whero ho was cdticatrd for the priesthood. He now holds1 the Irish record for putting the tncnty-elght-pound shot, having hurled It a distance of thirty-thret- feet. He hns put the fifty-slx-pound phot twenty-two feet, which was way above his mark of la.'t night, twenty feet five and one-half Inches. The athletic priest Is In favor of all kinds of athletics, nnd Indulges In many forms of exercise hlmelf. Including blcvcle nnd horseback riding. As a high jumper he has won events in I113 native country with Jumps of slxty-dght Inches. An idea of how good this Is may be gained from the fact that both high jump events at the Coliseum have been won with 8lxty--ight-inch Jumps. Father O'Flaherty has dona no training for the events ho competed In. Last Mon iliy night he won the third prize in putting tne sixieen-pounu snoi. ne mso competed In tho heavy-weight throwing event, but ns he did not get first prize, no one seemed to pay much attention to him. As to the question of propriety In com peting In athletic contests, dressed In eho regulation clothes of a sleeveless shirt and a pair of trunks. Father O'Flaherty says that no possible harm can b.? done, and that the exercise he gets with the Idea of competing in those events keeps him in such good health that he can do a great deal more work In tho lino of his rarish duties. The Reverend Mr. O'Flaherty Is very popular In his parish, where he Is callf-d upon to preach frequently. Oa the programme the young priest he 13 not over 27 jears of age was entered a Christian Brothers' College man. Tom Altken. who has teen shot-putters here and in the old country, never having heard of a C. B.

This huge gathering was regarded by the wise men In the Bryan party as a standing protest against Imperialism and the trusts.

An audience of COM peo ple crowded the Second Regiment Armory to-night to listen to nn ad.Irets by former Senator Pavid Bennett Hill of New York. A great number of people were unable to get Into the armor-, and, for their benefit, several outdoor speeches were made by local orntorr. When Senator Hill arrived at tho armory, accompanied by Maj-or Carter Harrison, he was glen a magnificent ovation. Mayor Harrison Introduced Mr. Hill, call ing forth a prolonged outburst of applause. It was fully lle minutes before the cheer ing subsided sufficiently to allow Senator Hill to begin his address. Throughout Us delivery he was accorded a generous amount of applause. Senator Hill said. In part: Government by Injunction. "Tho Democratic platform declares against what Is popularly known as "gov ernment by Injunction." This pbraso has been much misapprehended and has been subjected to many misrepresentations. Op position is what is properly comprehended in that term. It does not mean an approval of the total abolition of the writ of Injunction. "The term 'government by Injunction" has come to signlfj-. In the popular mind, an abuse of th power to Issue injunctions and to mean lp unrestrained and arbitrary exercise by Judicial officers of the Govern ment. It alro Includes tho Inadequate regu lation of the proceedings for the summary punishment of those who are alleged to have violated the commands of the writ. "Opposition to such abuses and oppor tunities for Injustice is what Is meant In recent years by opposition to government by Injunction. The Constitution Precludes Colonics. "The Supremo Court of the United States has already decided the constitutional ques tion Involved, and held (19 Howard, 3KS 117) that 'thero la no power givtn by the Con stitution to establish or maintain colonies, bordering on the United States or at a distance, to be ruled and governed at Its own pleasure." "Permit me to suggest that our oppon"nts, who, during the memorable campaign of 1K, so severely took to task those Demo crats who had enturid to criticise a certain noted decision of the Supreme Court ad verse to their views, should not themselves now refuso to respect and accept as con clusive the tlme-honortd decision of that high tribunal, expressly sustaining the Democratic position in this campaign In reference to the unconstitutionality of American colonial governments.
