Magnificent Crowds, Great Demonstrations
and Unbounded Enthusiasm-The Cause
Marching on to a Glad Victory.

PAoLI, Ind, August 13.-When the history
OF this campaign is written, and the various
meetings of the people who gathered to hear
the speakers discuss the issues Of this yesr
shall have passed into the record of the
country, it will be said of the triumphal
tour that Mr.. Landers has just concluded in
Southern Indiana, that no gatherings
of this caEpaign equaled them
numbers, enthusiasm and interest.
1t has been one grand march
of triumph from beginning to end, and the
concluding meeting held here at Paoli wss
no exception 10 the series OF brilliant sue
cesses that have greeted him throughout this
portion OF the State Psoli 10 the county
seat of Orange County, one of the stslwar
Democratic Counties of the State Her DEM
oc,scy is of the kind that has been tried in
the fire, and has come forth purer and bet
ter after each successive trial. The band OF
Democratic workers here are
among the n.3st active, vigi
liant, and reliable TO De found anywhere.
The history OF Indiana politics can not be
written with the names of the Sherrods, the
Buskirks the Simpsons, the Nobletts, the
Lipgles and tie Huffstetters left out. The
Democrats of Orange County held their
Lsnders spoke here, and It has not been my
fortune to attend o Convention anywhere
that did its work better, more harmonious
ly and in better spirit than did this
Convention OF Orange County Democrats,
The ticket nominated was an exceedIr gly
strong one, and the result was reached with
out engendering any bad feeling and under
the most favorable auspices. This is such a
rare thing for County Convention to do
that take pleasure in thus testifying to the
good sense which distinguished this one at
Paol. The following is the ticket placed in
the field:
Auditor-George A. Buskirk.
Tre9surer-George w. Thomas
Sheuff-James W. Pro.
RecOrder-Ed COmwelt.
Coroner-Alexander McCracken.
Surveyor-John Nc Donald.
County Commissloners-James Worrell and
James w. Pearson.
The resolutions reported through the
Chairman of the Com.aittee on Resolutions,
Hon. Thomas B. Buskirk, and adopted
without dissenting voice by The Conven-
ton, were marked by 80 much good sense
that mae them a part of this letter. They
were as follows:
Resolved by the Democracy Of Orange
County in Convention assembled, That we
State candidates and platforms, and pledge
them our undivided and enthusiastic support.
Resolved, That we denounce the action of
the New Albany Ledger standard, pretended
Democratic journal, for its unwise, unjust and
uncalle d-fOr attack on the distinguished gen.
tleman who heads our State ticket, as well as
against other prominent members of our
party.
Resolved, That we cordially approve the
action OF the Indianapolis Sentinel, recognize
IL as our state organ aud pledge 1t our support.
After the work OF the Convention was con-
cluded Mr.. Landers addressed one OF the
largest and most attentive audiences that
ever assembled in the Court House OF Orange
County. He spoke for nearly two hours, and
was listened TO with an interest that
was unbroken, and never tagged until the
end was reached. He closed amid storm
of applause. His speech on this occasion was
certainly the crowniDg effort OF his life, and
its influence and effect were simply marvel
Gus. The Democrats were more than de-
lighted, and Republicans acknowledged that
his position was absolutely unassailable.
Mr.. Lsnders was q surprise 10 himself here,
and when he sat down could not
realize what wonderful effect
his words had produced, but
the Democrats OF Orange County and Paoli
realized il, and its results will oriDg forth
good fruit when the harvest is gathered In
October.
Mr.. Lsnders leaves Southern Indiana in
good shape. His meetings at every point
have been grand outpouriDgs of the people,
and his speeches have had an effect that

itage this year. IL great crowds, unbroken
attention and wild enthusiasm indicate any
thing il indicates that the Democratic party
has determined to no longer sit crouchingover
the moldering bones OF its countless defeats
and blunders, but that this year, with new
faith and fresh courage. il has come out into
