More than fifty thousand people heard him erery day.

Kverybody out there hat got the Bryan habit, observed Mr. Brownlow, of The Nashville Banner, who hat just returned from a stay of two weeks . ' m mm - in me west, ne Daring wnne mere accom panied Mr. Bryon on his trip through In diana. Mr. Bryan spoke at one town Of not more than; four thou sand inhabitants It was in the midst of the mining section, and all the mines and all the pubUe schools in four counties were closed down for the occasion. There were twenty thousand people there when the hour for speaking arrived, and there was a tremendous demon stration when a miner, .with a; lantern ar ranged in front of his cap for a headlight, mounted the platform and proposed three cheers for the man who was. hound some day to be president of the United States. The Hill speaking in Indianapolis resolv ed itself into a Bryan demonstration, pure and simple, although the campaign mana gers had not foreseen any such contingency. There was a great parade with brass bands red fire and other side attractions and along the long line only one name figured in the cheering, that of Bryan. In the big hall the thousands cheered the name of Bryan every time Mr. Hill wound up a fetching period with the name of Parker. There were pictures of Bryan on the walls, very large pictures painted on cloth, with back ground of flags, and then there were several pictures that had been distributed by the state committee. Mr. Hill soon xealized the drift of things. He wanted to stir the boys up a bit- to he said something like this: "Gentlemen, doubtless manv of vou will remember the last time I stood before an Indiana audi ence. That time was four years ago when I advised you to vote for that peerless" that was as tar as the speaker got, for his voice was lost in an instantaneous yell from five thousand throats. Mr. Bryan was not ja Indianapolis. ' There was absolutely no occasion for the outbreak, except the Ne braskan Is first in the Hoosier heart. . and leaped to the pavement below, where Ten Seats : Claimed For North he was picked up half dead. When the kind hearted people had picked him up and were holding him on his feet, a kind voice inquired: r "Are you much hurt?" He tned to kick his foot and it kicked, he tried to moye his arm and it moved, and with these assurances he replied: "No. I am not hurt, but terribly twisted. ' In his haste he had put on his pants with the seat in front.

The apparent con tradiction between statements emanating from St. Petersburg and the understand ing here as to whether or not Great Britain has demanded the punishment of those responsible for the North sea affair rises from the fact that jwhile, admittedly, no demands have been" submitted by Ambas sador Hardinge in St. Petersburg, Foreign Minister Lansdowne, in conversation jwith Count Benckendorff has laid down pro-1 positions which to all intents and pur poses are just as much in the nature of de mands as if they 'had been specifically formulated,' but would only, become de-r mands" in the" strictly - diplomatic sense when formulated -and prosecuted, Friday. The main Russian and Japanese force which confront: each other south" of Mukden hav not yet, become engaged al though small affairs continue. Thursday the Japanese rushed a high hill held by the Russians and succeeded in dislodging them after a hand to hand fight. .The position was defended by about a regiment with five machine guns. It is described as important as a post of observation. Tokio hears unofficially that the Japanese opened a desperete attack, October 26 on the forts around - Port Arthur occupying several positions and silencing a number of Rus sian batteries. Che Foo reports that ad vices received there from the besieged for. tress say that fighting is almost continuous. . - Saturday. ' St. Petersburg, Oct. 29. The arrival of Lieut-Gen.

The announcement of his appointment, the republicans present when they saw that -their "standard bearer" was absent For some reason the Judge failed to turn up, and Gudger had a clean field. He was in his best to night. In fine voice" and facing an enthusiastic audience almost entirely composed of the best type of Rutherford democracy, he made the speech of his cam- paign. He spoke for more than an hour discussing both national and state issues. He handled the great issues in an . able and convincing- manner. . By splendid illustra tions and well told anecdotes he showed up the postal fraud, the Philippine policy and the Panama affair io4lieir true light, nuk ing each so plain that a chDd could under stand, ;, --r- ; -:'z'" i V';V . In a humorous, but friendly manner, he recited Judge Ewart's record and told of his many wanderings during this campaign and offered a generous reward for 7 some steady work from the 4,accrobatic judge' from now until the election. That Mr. Gudger's speech was highly pleasing to his audience was amply proved both by con tinuous applause during his speech and by hearty congratulations afterwards. After the speaking many, friends gathered around and for a time he was kept busy : shaking hands. Mr. Gudger has many friends and continues to make more In Rutherford, and on the eighth day of November 4his county will give him nine hundred majority. The candidates will speak In joint discussion at Rutherfordton tomorrow. MADOLrf.lARRIED. . it '..tn mas mVin xrprA nnlv known . . . M .
