tour through Jackson County. The meeting
at Seymour on Friday night was fisttering

served compliment to the popularity OF their
candidate for Governor.
The Democrats OF Seymour and Jackson
County know how to do things, snd mas
much rs the real intelligence of the city is
largely Democratic, abe organization and
management Of this meeting was eminenily
euecsssful. Among the best Democratic
workers Of the State are those of Seymour.
A grsnd toTchlight procession, nearly mile
in length, headed by the Seymour Comet
Band. parsded through the principal
streets and thoroughfares Of The city
during the early hours of the evening
and gave voice to the ''pentup Utica OF
enthusiasm, which all day long had been
sIumhering in the throat and lungs OF the
invineible Democracy of this Gi5raltef Of
the faithful. And, when the Opera House
was reached, where Hon. FRANKLIN Lsnders

reached 70 thousands. That gifted son of

was a mastery effort which met and re-

there is any one thing l have faculty for,
It is writing bouquet articles. but this is no

distinguished citizens, also presented
Mr. Landers with sweet

possible, evsn better speech hero than OF

fruit in October and November. l mingled
IN the crowd after the conclusion OF the
speech and heard nanny words OF praise and
satisfaction expressed in regard to the
speech, and the ability of Mr. Landers. The
fact of the business is Mr.. nanders has
zgreesbly Disappointing everybody; he is
drawing immense crowds wherever he goes,
sld his speeches and his ability TO cope
with the great men Of the Republican party
are creating an enthusiasm in bis favor which
IS most gratifying. His words, his appear
ance and his manners are all so much IN con-
Sradlction of what Republicans and Rspub-
iican papers have saic about him, that he is
winning votes and golden opinions every
where he goes, because the people are find
ing cut how false are the Republican state-
men.s concerning him. His meetings 80 far

end are resulting in great good. Judge
Jeptha d. New followed Mr.. Landers in an
excellent speech foil of new argument and
originality, judge New Is one of Indiena's
creates. men, and as q public speaker has
few equals. His speech on this occasion was
unanswerable in ia argument and match
less in its eloquence.
Hon. Gabriel Schmuch, Clerk of the Su-
preme Court, spoke TO his Germsn fellow
mour and Hardlnsourg, and accomplished
much good for the cause. Mr.. Sshmuok is a
genial, talented gentlemen, and makes
friends and votes wherever he goes.
Jackson County is in good shape. No local
differences or small chickering's destroy their
uaanimity, and 1t is safe to count upon at
least 200 Democratic majority from this
County for the State ticket. Mr.. Landers is
very popular here, and will run ahead of the
ticket in many localities.
SEYMOUR is a nice city, like thepeople
1 like the Democracy; I like the ladies OF the
Hancock and English Glee Club, and would
ike to come back here some day, when this
csrel war is Ger. FREMONT.
