DEAR SR:-I received your favor at Vincen
mes, for which am greatly Obliged TO you. / at
the same time received letter from the North.
speaking of my prospects being good in the north
ern counties, especially Michigan City; also let
ter from Gen. Burnett, of New Albany. stating
that would obtain very large maorities in Clark,
Harrison, and a respectable vote in Floyd the lat
ter had not expected. / have also confrma-
ton of good news from Parke, Vermillon, Mon
roe and Owen / was advised to spend no more
time in my own Congressional District: good
judges thought would get majority of 5000
in it. / have traversed the pocket and am not
much elated with the prospect it affords. You
know must be beaten in Vanderburgh. In
Posey will get heavy majority. In the rest OF
the river counties below Crawford, though / will
get majorities, they will not be large, because my
notices could not get on in time. My own opinion
is that will do well Knox, Davies and Gibson,
but as yet have had no certain information since
left them. In Sullivan my vote must be very
heavy, and in Vigo l must be beaten. i have
labored indefatigably. / spoke in Madison, July
4th, to large ard delighted audience. / go to
Terre Haute tomorrow, thence to Clay, Green,
Lawrence, Orange. Crawford, HARRISON and Floyd
to speak in New Albany; thence up to Washing
ton, jackson, Scott, and am to speak again at
Madison, ON the 9Th of August. Twill then take
steamboat, and speak at Lawrenceburg, ON Mon
day morning. August 7th.a f..d hue
As travel. it is so difficult and impossible to
have tul view of the State, or to hear the news,
that it battles conjecture to the result shall,
however, believe that on my own partI have done
as much as almost any other person could have
done in the same time. And i have well
grounded confidence that / have active and eff
Gent friends in every county. among whom con-
slider you as one of the most Jealous.
With sentiments Of high regard, a.;

John Dum0nf.-.Eiectt0n OF 1897.
Prom "Recalecfions Of kie Barfy Sfaenent Of Cur
s' roH CotDay.r-By JAMES H. STEWART. ~
One of the most exciting and interesting cleo
ton canvasses ever witnessed in this State, was
the race for Governor in 1887, between Governor
Wallace and the Hon. John Dumont. These
gentlemen both belonged to the same political
party, and the sole issue between them was the
classification of the Pn6iie Works. Gov. Wal
lace and his friends favored simultaneous car
rying on of all the works embraced in the NAM
moth internal improvement BILL whilst the friends
of Dumont favored classification, contending
that by prosecuting one or two works to compile
ton at time, the whole might ultimately be fin-
shed, and the State saved from bankruptcy. In
the early part Of the race, Judge Gamaliel Tay-
Tor, Democrat. Of Madison, was on the track
but the great interests at stake in the all absorb
ing subject of internal Improvement, produced an
overwhelming desire to ignore old party lines and
fight the battle on the new issue. Judge Taylor,
perceiving this feeling, declined the race thus
leaving the contest between Wallace and Dumont
Although Gov. W. was the successful aspirant,
Mr.. Dumont made a most brilliant canvass, and
the author remembers very well the effect his
speeches produced in Carroll county. Like Whit
Como, ne maze no euort at the spread eagle style,
but he presented his points 50 ingeniously his H.
lustrations were so plain. and his manner so can.

In fact, but few men in the State were better cal
culated TO make rotes on the stump than John Du
mont.
Being warm advocate for a classification OF
the public works, the author of course was an ar
dent supporter Of Mr.. D. Prior to the election
he received several letters from his favorite can
didate two of which are inserted; and a they are
not private if this sketch should happen to meet
the eye of tie former candidate for Governor, he
hopes the liberty will be pardoned.
But here are the letters
scrrro, Jennings County, July 2, 1887.
DEAR SR:-I have progressed so far and made
a speech here last evening. Since left Indian
apolis passed through Johnson, Morgan, Owen,
Monroe and Bartholomew counties, and have no
doubt of a strong impression in my favor in Owen,
Monroe and Bartholomew. As to the others
have no certain intelligence, but do not doubt Of
getting respectable vote in each of those coun-
ties have been in, and will be in, all the battle
