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

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.

their saddles, and ridiculous Rough Riding

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. 'Is so unreasonably large." "

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.

Nevada. Mo.. Oct. ID. 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. Ewing Is In pursuit with a
well-armed posse. When the bank was ex
amined after the robbers left, all the doors
we're standing open. The vault door had
been blown ojen with nitrogljccriii.
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. The loot

Constable Moran. who was killed, was

across from the bank, when awakened by

BRYAN'S LETTER OF

Defines the New Paramount Issue

Rochester. N. Y.. Oct. 20. William J.
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. C. weight-thrower before, watched
hini put the thot In practice at the Coli
seum and at once picked him out as the
winner of the X-pound event.
Father O'Flaherty says that, barrins tho
possible Interference of the Archbishoo ho
will compete It: any of his favorite contes's
that may te held in St. Louis hereafter '
Tha other contests of the evening faded
Into Insignificance beforo the unusual sight
of a minister of the gospel comi-.tint. i

1,500 persons. Nevertheless, there was a !

This huge gathering was regarded by the
wise men In the Bryan party as a standing
protest against Imperialism and the trusts.
Bryan i-poke for twenty minuter on the
l-M-ues of the campaign, after which thTe
was another strusgle. Men fought their way
to his carriage wheels to shake his hand.
Finally he succeded in reaching Fltzhugh

WE CAN HOLD
David 0. Hill's Speech on the
Paramount Issue at
Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 15. 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

With thlj meeting Mr. Brjan was ex
