MARFINsvIILEs Sept s 6--Colonsl Thomas Il.
Nelson and Oliver T. Morton were greeted here
to-day with one Of the largest political gather
ings ever assembled IN Morgan county. Delega-
tiOns came in from nearly all the cut townships,
and at O'Clock, when they assembled under the
wigwan erected for the occasion, over two thou
sand voters were present The first speaker
was Oliver 7. Morton, who, when presented to
the meeting, called out cheer after cheer His
speech was over two hours in length, and was
eloquent and logical throughout. He paid spe-
cial attention to the record of Mr. Hendricks.
He was followed by Colonel Thomas H. Nelson,
of Terre Haute, whe also spoke for a couple Of
hours. He said that as long as the people
would not allow the Democratic party to get
control of This government. There never has,
and never will be a national principle on which
the Democratic party has united. He took up
the Missouri Compromise and showed how Mr.
Hendricks, by voting for its repeal, had made
such a mistake He also reviewed the war history
of the Democratic party. The party as party,
hp said. had nothing to do with the war In say
ing this he would not east a reflection on the
thousands of Democrats who fought for the
preservation of the Union he closed with a
eulogy on the Republican candidates. The occa-
sion was much enlivened by excellent singing
from The Mahalasvdlle and Martinsville gee
: clubs.

the cause of his defeat he laid
at the door of Mr.. Williamson. who attended the
convention and opposed himat every step. At
the convention Efforts were made to reconcile
Mr. Williamson but he was SO implacable that
it was finally intimated that he might live to
see the day when he would regret his action. 1t

work were gathered. Mr. Williamson was ar
rested at his horne IN Ridgeviile and taken TO
Union City to answer an infamous charge, OF
which he was entirely innocent. He protested
his lnnocenee and denounced Gray TO his face
but it was not until he had bean given all the
unpleasant notoriety possible before being
brought TO trial that be was Released Ihenlt
was that it occurred to Gray that Williamson
could successfully maintain suit for damages,
and steps were talzan 10 repair the injury. Will

only demanded proper apology but that Gray
refused TO make.
When aneosted about the matter after the
prisoner had been released, Colonel Gray pleaded

Pierre and that it sshonld have been served upon

with the defendant IN reality.
Mr.. Wiaiamson went to both complainant and
defendant and was informed that both parties
were well known TO C0l0nel Guay; that the Do
fsnda1t was known to Gray for mere than a
score of years. and that it could not have been

New ALBARx, Sept cit can be said with
truth that at no time in the history Of the Re-
publican party has its organization in southern
Indiana been SO complete, its esprit de corps so
enthusiastic. its movements so bold and ag
gressfve, as in the present campaign. This is
especially true in The First Second and Third
districts more partcularas in fhe Third, whore
the details Of organization have been pushed to
the school districts by the chairman of the dis
trict committee Captain M. M. Hurley, who has
few equals as an organizer. This work Of organ
ization was commenced early in july and the
result is wfde4awake Republican club in every
township, and work being done that is telling
with splendid effect upon the ranks of the
enemy. Many aecessions are being made DO the
Republican column from the Democracy, anda
number of these are of heretofore active Demo
cratic campaigners
A series Of brilliant meetings has been held
of late. The Republicans in this part of the
State did not wait till the LIST Of September to
inangurate the canvass At that time it was
in full blast, and the day fixed by the State
central committee for general forward move
ment of the Republican hosts found the col

rafting drums, inspiring flies. blazing fre-
works, and loud and ntinuous cheers of the ex-
cited and enthusiastic people Oliver 7. Morton
and James Keigwin made mastery speeches,
which were received into listening ears and
willing hearts, It was the largest meeting Of
the campaign inthis part of the State.
Tonight Hon. John f. Scanlan, the eloquent
Irishman, addressed another large meeting,
which was attended by great number Of Irish
men He is making superb argument, and 1t
is having telling effect A good many New
Albany Irishmen have deserted the Democracy,
and gone over to Blaine or TO Butler There is
no f0olishness about this. 1t is solid fact, and
is increasing in number and power and influence,
It is a good deal ike a crew deserving a sinking

Beafs and their Manufactures

The use OF beads 10 agsin becoming
fashionable, and there Is likely to be as
great rage for that sort Of ornament as
there was twelve or fifteen years ago.
Beads are made of a great variety Of
materials, glass, stone, metals. coral,
bone, ivory, amber. etc.. but glass 10
generally understood when beads are
spoken Of without special description.
And they are a very old Institution.
Venice is the place of their greatest pro-
ducti0n, where their manufacture has
been staple industry for more than a
thousand years. Attempts have else
where been made to compete with Venice
in bead making, but living there is SO
cheap, an artisan is able to subsist on
five cents day, and they possess secrets
Of glass coloring known nowhere else, 80
that opposition has not been successful.
They, give more than two hundred DIFF
ferent tints TO single-colored beads, and
when they come to combinations the
possibilities are unlimited. The produeN
ton Is so great that in Venice . bunch
Of small beads of eighty strings, each
string six inches long, can be bought for
about two cents. These beads are chiefly
sold to the North American Indians. 1t
is . singular fact that fashion in civiliza-
ton and barbarian meet on level in
the chsice Of beads. the inhabitants of
the south Sea islands and the ladies Of
New York city, in times of bead crazcs,
showing preference for about the same
article in color, style and make. The
most costly aud best glass beads are
made in Paris. IL is there we get our
Roman pearl, mirror beads, etc. Bead
manufacture has been tried disastrously
in this country. The cost here is too
great.

A Strange Story.
When Gabriel ]

When Gabriel Dante Rossetti was very
young, scarcely more than boy, he was
deeply in love with q young girl, and
having poets gift, he sang poets
love In numerous sonnets and verses to
her. She died young. and by her wish
he manuscripts of these poems were
placed in casket and laid under her
mead, so that even in the last sleep they
'sould be. as they always had been, kept
sneath her pillow. Years passed by
and Rossetti's fame grew, until every
line OF his composition became precious,
and some Of those who priced bis writing
most asked him for copies Of the songs
that had been buried. He had kept no
copies. or they had been lost. At all
events, he could furnish none, and when
they asked him to re-write the verses
he declared that he wns utterly unable
10 do so. AT last his friends importuned
him for permission to have the original
manuscripts exhumed. lie consented
after some hesitation and, all the neces-
sary preliminaries having been complied
with, tho grave which had been sealed
for many years was opened in the pres
ence Of wondering few. Then strange
thing was found. The casket contain.
ing the poems had proved to be Of per-
ishable material and its cover had
crunbled away. The long tresses Of the
girl had grown after death and had
twined and intertwined among the leaves
Of the poets paper, coiling around the
written words Of love in a loving en-
brace long after death had sealed the
lips and dimmed the eyes that had made
response TO that love.
