GfangeI's' Harvest Home Plcnic.-
THE Canvass in WaYne County.

RICHMOND, Ind. Sept 90. The Changers
Harvest Home picnic of Wayne and ad.

Arriving at the grounds, Jas. Buchanan,
Of Indianapolis, addressed about 5000
Changers, farmer and country people
generally, upon the financial questions
and their interests to the farming CON-
munity. His address was one Of unusual
strength.
In the afternoon Sykes, a prominent
Granger from Illinois, delivered an ad.
dress to fully five thousand people. His
remarks were Of a peculiar interest to the
Society, and were arguments iavoring
their organization. One noticeable lea-
ture In the procession was a large number
OF ladies wearing the red and whit. re
gala oil tho Society.
Delegations were in the line from Alb
bington, Boston, Centerville, Cambridge
City, Hagerstown and large parties from
other adjacent towns. Quite q respect
able number from Ohio also participated.
The Grangers can compliment themselves
upon their Wayne county gathering as on
entire success.

The canvass in this District.

Ills pretty evident from the advices re.
ceived from the first encounter OF West
Union between the two candidates for
Congress in this District, that Colonel
Ben WILSON has found General GoFF q
rather tough customer to meet before
the people. As long as the Colonel could
swing round the circle by himself, and say
his say without contradiction, especially
in the wllds OF Wetzsl county, the situa.
tion was very lovely in his eyes, and hiu
journey seemed, no doubt, q sort OF tri.
umphal progress, But when he came 10
meet representative man Of tho anti.
Ring and anti.Bourbon element Of the
people, on the hustipgs, the situation mate.
rally changed. 1tis not improbable that
after meeting General Corr at West
Union last Friday, and having his
sophistries and tallacles ventilated before
the people, that the Colonel felt a little
like that other Colonel who had q brush
with some Union men during the
war, and who wrote to his General
commanding very laconic note saying
"We have met the enemy and they are
not ours" Thus It was with Colonel Ben
He met Gen. Corr and was captured.
Gen. GoFF showed him, like the Arkansas
traveller, how to play the other half Of
that tune he had been So wing on ever since
the opening OF the Canvass Hitherto the
Colonel had been telling only oue.hsli Of
the story as he swung around among tho
people. Corr enlightened him little on
the balance fthe narrative. The Colonel
will be better posted hereafter. Hisgsl-
liant opponent will escort him round the
district from now until election day, and
keep administering to his necessities in
the way Of information. In this way 1t is
our opinion that the Colonel will bo a
tolerably elliniormed man alter the 18th
Of October.

The Doctor Is an old Democrat, and says
in his card that "for forty years or more
he has "battled for the principles or De-
mocracy." Ho does not seem to think
that the true principles Of Democracy are
represented by the Ring nominees, and
therefore 1t is, about time that men who
believe in the governing capacity Of the
people, as against all rings and clIques
should come to the front.

Joint Discussion In Calhoun County
To-day,

Today
GoFF and WILSON met at Richie Court
House on Saturday, and will meet at
Grantsville, the County Seat Of Calhoun
county, to-day. We expect our gallant
standard bearer to give Col. BEN his third
inStAllment OF information in regard to
the doings Of the Ring and the Bourbon
Democracy in West Virginia to-day.
The first instsllment at West Union last
Friday seems to have SET severely on BEN.
He almost cried out peccavi, and virtually
plead the baby act in regard to the record
Of the Ring, The Colonel does not seem
inclined to discuss West Virginia matters.
He prefers to roam in pleasanter pastures
where there are fewer briars and thorns
to steer clear Of. He would like
to spend his entire time we
presume in bowling over the Civil
Rights bill, Notwithstanding he voted for
HORACE GREELEY in 1872. But Gen.
GoFF does not dodge any issues himself,
State or Federal, and he is determined
that Colonel BEN shall not. The Colonel
is not at Richmond this trip. He can not
rise and ask to be excused from express.
ing himself. He Is compelled to face the
music, and oil all performances in The
world this is the most unpleasant to Col.
onel BEN. The role of the artiul dodgel
ia one SO coDgenial to him, and one thai
he has so long practiced, that it nearly
kills him to be brought squarely face to
face with the issues Of the canvass.
