Mrs. Lawrence P. Boyle of Chicago, afiter of Mrs.

E. T. Taylor of this city. baa been much interested in Edwin P. Farters article published in The Press, and has written enclosing a letter from Warr G.

Sayre, Wabash attorney, giv log more comment on the great political rally of 1SSA in this city. The letter follows: 459 West 65th Ctreet, Chicago, Illinois. Cditor of The Press. Huntington, Indiana, Dear Sir: I hare before in Mr. Harter's reminiscent article of the campaign of 1856 nd the speech or M.

day at luntington. The incident that Mr. Hurler refers to of climbing a tree to secure a better view of the speaker, recalls to my mind that my mother often told us of that great republican rally, It being the first national campaign of that party which waa made up of the disaffected former adherents to the other parties femocrata, abolitionists and whirs, who Vere opposed to slavery. The speech Was delivered in what, was known as Bratton's flrove." From where my mother sat on the speaker's stand, she noticed a hoy, a stranger In town who Was very attentive to the speech. After the meeting was over she hunted him up, learned that he was from Wabash and ahe invited him to dinner with Mr.

Clay and the other rurt who were to be entertained at our home. 'I am pleased to recount for another boy in a tree at that meeting who has since climbed higher until he became one of Indiana's most honored and distinguished sons the Hon. Warren Ji. Sayre. I herewith enclose a letter recently re reived from him in which he gives some of his recollections of that meeting which may be of interest to your readers.

Very respectfully, ALICE MOORE BOYLE. Wabash, February 11, mO. lire. Lawrence P. Boyle: Your unexpected but very welcome letter concerning the Cassius M.

Clay republican meeting at Huntington in 1856, was received several daya ffo, while I happened to be ill. Making due allowances for the alleged physiological fact that a human being completely changes hla identity every even years and that I have in sixty four years made nine complete changes, I will say that I was the boy from Wa? bash lht attended that meeting and that your dear did have me at dinner a that occasion. It was one of the hlessed days of my life, and your mother's image is still resplendent before me. I vrent oo a train from Wabash, which In itself was an event, the, Wabash railroad having been in operation but a year or two. Somehow I felt on the occasion that the auccess of the meeting depended almost entirely on the combined effort of Mr.

Clay and myself. At the meeting I with other boys about my age (I was about 12) sought "coigns ot vantage" in atearby small towns and Mr. Clay called attention to the fact, and said it was a harbinger of victory in a while. This may be called to your mother's attention to the tree at any rate in a little while your mother and your brother Alfred bad me in charge and I assure you it was my happiest day. I never aaw your mother again bnt ahe a flrat among nry taiatr.

Mr. Edwin narter, with whom I waa Hot then acquainted, says he waa there ia a tree and that among otljrr notable incidents of the meetinr. the sneaker Uid iorn before him a revolver with which ha declared bis purpose to defend him aolf. I have heard and read of Mr. Clay Aolng such aa act but I cannot recall that it happened at Huntington.

I do Sot say It 'lid not bnt simply that I did net hear see it or if I did I have for gotten it. The day waa certainly eventful and I felt that I had aided greatly ia it a success. Thia feeling was greatly strengthened by the fact that I was privileged to enjoy the hospitality 'df our father's home, with such distin guished company. When the election came off the democrats won I eonld pot uaJerataaJ It and remember asking aiy father he thought all those paoptt at Huntington Toted thinking that thay muat hare dont ao for Fremont must have been elected. Thia waa all 04 yean ago, thla eomlag summer and all theet yeara I bare trsaa ured the memory of your dear mother, It eeema I would know her, could I but art eyea upon her, but ahe ia gone, and our time cannot be for long.

Aa James AY hit comb Riley aayi ia hla poem "Middle aged to.be exact, very middle aged in fact, Yet thinking back to then, I'm the same wild boy again, There in the dear old borne once mora, With mother atanding at the door, Dead I know for thirty year, Yet ahe ia ainglng and I hear, The dusk's a falling and the, dew Seems like it'a a falling too." Moat sincerely, WARREN Q. SAYRH, Attorney at Law, Wabaah, Indiana. FINtllCIll REPOflT NEW YORK, Feb. 25. Cumulative signs that the deflation of credits is as sumlng wider dimensions and that indus trial conditions are being readjusted to meet this situation provoked another out burst of liquidation on the stock ex change today.

Shares of all descriptions and several of the bond issues floated by thia gov ernment during the war added materially to their recent depreciation. Among stocks losses extended from 2 to 10 points the decline being substantially r.ssisted by bearish aggressions. The brunt of the movement was again borne by mercurial issues embrscing the rteel, equipment, motor oil and shipping divisions but dormant or obscure issues also suffered severe shrinkage. Dealings presented a greater diversity of offerings than usual, suggesting enforced selling from varioua quarters. Pools abandoned their recent' bullish op erations in rails, but that group offered more resistance than any other issues.

Final quotations were slightly above the lowest levels, but the tone at the close was weak. Sales amounted to 1,200,000 shares. In the bond market which was heavy throughout, the feature was liberty 3 Mi's which fell to 94.30, a new low record snd extreme decline of iy percent from yesterday'a minimum. Total sales, par value, were 4,250,000. Old United States bonda were unchanged on call.

25. Cover nor Goodrich will propose to the repub lican state candidates and the members of the republican state, committee who will meet here Thursday to formulate program for the special session of the legislature, that the assembly be asked to submit the primary law to a referen urn of the people. The governor has let it be known that he will insist that the legislature' take such action and he will urgently request in his message to the special session the passage of a law bringing the present statute to a vote in the primary May 4. Governor Goodrich, as well as other leaders in both parties, are plainly dis satisfied with the operation of the ladi ana primary law as it effects state wide campaigns. It is recalled that when Vice President Marshall spoke here last winter he expressed opposition to the measure and declared that if it had been in existence when he was a candidate for governor he could never hate been elect ed.

Money Required. Many of the party leaders declare that under the present law only a man of raeana can become a candidate for either senator or governor. They point to the huge etpenBe accounts filed by the gu oernatonai candidates in 1910 and as sert that the total expenditures of the candidates now in the race will amount to a huge figure. Among other matters that the gover nor will submit to the conference ia the amendment of the county unit road law; blue sky law; amendment to election laws to take care of women voters; an amendment of the tax law, restoring to local communities control over bond is1 sues and tax levies; a state war mem orial; correction of the depository law so that all funda of every kind that come into the hands of the county treasurer or clerk shall go into a public deposi A I il iiry; cnanges in ue teacners pension law, and the matter of institutional ap propriations. Both Sides Crtticlie Plan.

The governor's plan to discuss his pro gram with the state committee and the candidates and then submit it to the members of the general assembly is evok ing considerable criticism from both the democratic nnd republican sources and interesting political developments are promised as a result The moat important source to become roiled is the camp of Senator Watson. The senator's leaders in this state hava warned E. M. Wasmuth, state chairman, and the governor, that they are on dan gerous ground and an attempt will be mode to have the governor reconsider his program. Senator Watson's friends declare that the senator has the right to interfere in anything that he feels might jeopardize party success, and he is said to hold that any action designed to dic tate the course of legislation will end in mcuon.

me senators supporters arc also somewhat peeved, it is said, because he was not invited to the conference in which they declare he Is vitally interested by virtue of heading the state ticket. Candidates YVM Balk. It is probable the state candidates, es pecially those in the gubernatorial race will balk at anything that smacks of O. K.ing a program for the legislature. Ed ward Toner has told friends that he will not be a party to designing a cut and dried schedule, and Edgar D.

Bush, hos already openly declared his opposi tion to the plan. It is not likely that Warren JT. Mc tray can whole heartedly subscribe to the proposition, for ia his initial speech he declared that if elected governor he would stand on the theory that the assembly should not be hampered by executive interference. The governor's determination to draft a program, howver. is putting J.

W. Fesler of Indianapolis in an embarrassing position. Mr. Fesler thus far has never announced his position on state issues. Now he is asked to attend a conference and to be a party to perfecting a specially made schedule for the legislature to work on.

Mr. Fesler hss carefully avoided nny entanglements on the moot questions of the day and bis friends are said to be endeavoring to have the governor adopt different tactics preliminary to the extra session. ANDREWS Mrs. Art Long was shopping in Huntington yesterday. Mrs.
