The fires of Republcanism are burning
brightly in Southwestern Indiana. The
people seem to be fully alive TO the impor-
tance of the contest, and our side are ap-
plying themselves to the work with vigor
and confidence.
The tour of Hons ". Mckee Dunn and
Albert G. Porter has been very successful.
On last Monday they both addressed an inn
mcnse crowd at Princeton, in the Court
/ House. From there they went to Peters
burgh, where Mr. Dunn made one of his
/ telling speeches to crowded house on
Tuesday, Mr.. Porter going to Kinks Mills
the same evening and having frst-rate
meeting. Ar. Dunn then went on to fill
appointments at BoonvilIe on Wednesday,
and Rockport on Thursday, where, we are
confident from the eager anticipation that
existed, he met with Il cheering recep-
ton
The Petersburgh Republicans having pre-
viously appointed a meeting for Wednes-
day night, insisted that Mr.. Porter should
stay and address them. Accordingly that
gentleman remained, and on Wednesday
night spoke to an immense audience, as we
told about on Saturday. It was probably
one Of the best political meetings ever held /
in the county.
Mr.. Porter then returned TO Princeton |
and was met there by persons from Owens |

inclosed lot, from temporary stand and
in the midst Of the rain; yet it went on
and the enthusiastic Republicans stood there
listening to every word with the utmost at
tention, regardless Of the bad weather Mr.
Porter spoke to them over an hour in an
and instructive manner The
ladies, notwithstanding the rain (many of
them girls, in white dresses, with banners),
were not dismaycd in the least, but stayed
to hear the speaking. Such enthusiasm in
the cause we have never beard Of
