It's Harrison's Declaration: Mc Kinley Sliouters Feel Tliat Tlie Jig Is About Up Un less Something Desper ate Can Be Done. Indianapolis, Ind Oct. 12. Ex Presidtnt Harrison's statement is unmibtakHbly a big disappointment to Indiana Republicans. They had looked for something more to their liking. Evidences of the disappointed feel ing were seen wherever Governor Roosevelt went to day. Notwith standing that the Roosevelt demon stration vas occupying the minds of the Republican managers, they showed that they expected more from General Harrison than they received. The State Committee thought it had satisfactory assurances that the ex -President would make at least one important campaign address and had planned to secure several short speeches besides. The plan was to have his principal address made at Fort Wayne, or Lafayette and to take him co the plaue selected on a special train which would make a number of stops, so as to give the Republicans a series of rallies. This was the arrangement followed in General Harrison's campaign tour of 1896. His declaration that he would make no speeches this year has upset the State Committee's pre mature arrangements. Publicly the Republican leaders say General Harrison's course is "satisfactory." Some of the news papers republish his Carnegie Hall speech of four years ago, in which he criticised Bryan. This, however, does not meet with the expectation of Indiana Republicans, which was for a new speech from General Har rison that would coyer new ground and compel discussion and refuta- tionby the Democrats. The Democrats had. been counting -- - . : ; : - which would be one of the strong Republican influences in the last weeks of the campaign and had been prepared to ment it. They are reliev ed by his mild indorsement of his party's position on a few points and are making much of his denuncia tion cf the Porto Uican bill. The Republicans would have been grateful if General Harrison could have been persuaded to say some thing about the flag in the Philip pines. Their greatest disappointment is over his silence on this subject. Some of them say that when he re turns home and sees how the Dem ocrats are making capital out of his brief utterances he will make a speech to his neighbors, but tr own wishes are the only bas1" for their belief. m . i i ii . iti I AO siaie ine iact Diuntr-, T?0 puDiicans oi inaiana wh' .

In 1896, for tbe first time in any presidential election since 1872, tea t?cl d South was broken. Tbe split in the Democratic party, cauf d by the departure to free silverim four years ago, threw Dob? ? are, Maryland, West Virginia aad Kentucky into the Republican column. Free til?er coinage has t een eo far subordinated as an issue in the preeect campaign and tbe Demo crats who bolted in 1896 have so generally returned to tbe regular party organization that tbe South may again p res-en t a solid Demo cratic front next month. Of the three Southern States which the Demociacy lost in the last presi dential campaign Maryland and Kentucky seem certain to be re stored to ihtir old places in the Democratic lis. West Virginia will probably be regained also, and tbe chances in Delaware are about even. Tha Republicans are making a great bluff about their prospects in Maryland and Kentucky, but the Republicans are still following the advice of Bill Chandler in 1876 to ''claiu everything," and we would not be surprised to see them put North Carolina end Georgia iu tbe doubtful list any day. Bjth Maryland and Kentucky we t'aink, can safely be counted on by tbe Democrats. it is a notorious fact that an j -'aB cwrupiion i 1 need by the Republic immense corruption fard is. being an mausgars "'emia aad the power ill V CBl V . of boodle is'invokect 4 carr the 'o for? lit' le btale of Delaware a the recently combined Republican factions in that State. The Democrats ia both these Statts, however are united and aggressive. They count confidents ly on victory and are undoubtedly gaining on their cpponett3 as tbe campaign advances. We expect to see tbe electoral vote of the South cast eolidly for fee Democratic presidential ticket this year and to it will be added enhuch votes from other sections I to place the government once more I nnrinr Tmorratie control.

Pecsacola, Pia., October 12. "Look into the future," would perhaps be tha advice of former Secretary of War Rusell A. A! ger, of Michigan, would be apt to give today.Tbe man of canned baaf renown has profited by this maxim and be is now reaping the benefit of his foresight. It was announced to-day that the Russell A. Alger syndicate would build a railroad from Fashte, Ala., to this city, and that work on the road would soon ba commenced. The roid will run through strips of rich tim berland, which the syndicate has recently a quired, ana the sur vey in many places has been made where a path has already been cut. This fam brings to light the clear-headedness of the friend of Commissary General Eagan. During the Spanish-American war thousands of soldiers were encamped in places along the line of the proposed road. There were plenty of tress around the camps and plenty of ax33 in the quartermaster's department. All Mr. Alger neeied in order to get the land clear was labor and the soldiers furnished that. So ic was that the land was cleared, and although some comment was made at the time the direct schema could not be seen. It is very plain now, however, and the influential timberland owners of Miami were not the only ones who had their land cleared with out cos-.

The cow in the plural may be cows or kine, But a cow if repeated is never called kine. And the plural of vow is vows, never vine, And if I speak of a foot and you show me your feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? If the singular's this and the plural is these, Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed keese? Then one may be that and three would be those. Yet hat in the plural would never be . hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother we never say methren; Then masculine pronouns are he, his, and him, But imagine the feminine, she, shis, and shim. So the English.

AkroD, Ohio, Oet. 15 Mayor Samuel M. Jones, of Toledo, who is accompanying Mr. Bryan on the latter's tour of Ohio, said in an interview here today: "If I were running the nation al campaign I would send out word to all the speakers to drop the discussion of economic feat tures of the campaign and con fine their speeches to the great moral issue involved whether we are to continue in a course of violence and killing. If ftir.Bryan is elected the element which will elec: him will be the men who are oppos3d to this country continu ing a career of war, those who believe, and I think correctiy, that our present course in the Philippines is national immoral ity. "Of what importance is the question of money we shall have; no matter what kind we have, one element is going to 'skin' the other and the cunning and active will alwayss under the present system, 'skin' the incapable and slow. The great mass of consci entious, thinking voters are stud ying the moral issue almost en tirely, in my opinion, and Mr. Bryan's hope "is to get them so stirred that they will decide in bis favor and then go to the polls and vote. I more than half be lieve that on this issue and bv this element Mr. Bryan will be elected. He has a good show to c rry Ob.ic.Tbe independent vote in the State is larger than it has ever been before, the campaign of a year ago having served to emancipate many partisans. Mr. Bryan's stand for the equality of men and the morality of the na tion will have elected him if he wins." Akron is the home of many of the trusts.

A remarkable state of affairs was discovered in New Jersey by means of the spelling bee held ?n Trenton to raise a fund to complete the free baths at the Home for Tramps, in Terradelphia. The competitors were State officials, college professors, lawyers and professional men, and they went down before surprisingly easy words. A professor of the State Normal School transposed the i and a in "ruffian;" the State Librarian spelled "anise" with prominent inventor got all mixed up on "ome lette;" the president of the Board of Education missed "tingling;" a his torian of note failed at "embarrass," and so on until the contest narrow ed down to Professor Nordorf and Colonel Schoonover, when the lat ter weakened on "ecstacy". Can there be a spelling trust in New Jersey from which these eminent gentlemen have been excluded?

In Indiana the outlook is likewise attractive, and it I is a sure thing that if the Democrats carry either New York or Illinois Bryan and Stevenson will be elected.
