ANDERSON, Oct. 14-When a few days ago it
was announced that Hon. w. H. Calkins, Re
publican candidate for Governor, and Hon
Charles L. Holstein would speak in this city on
the 14th inst, it was feared by the Republicans
that in so short a time allotted it would be i'm
possible to complete arrangements for giving
them fitting reception. But they set to work
and tho great outpouring of Republicans here
to-day demonstrates the fact that it does not
require much time to put the Republican wave
in motion. There was an industrial parade this
forenoon in which all the leading manufacturing
establishments and number of business firms
of the city participated, and added
to this the long and BETTING lines of delegations
sent in by the different townships of the county
the handsomely decorated wagons, the bands Of
music, the drum corps and glee clubs, all com
bined to make one of the most imposing dis
plays of the kind the city has ever witnessed
An immense crowd is in the city, and the speak
ing is being done at the fair grounds which are
filed with people. Major Calkins being unable
on account of sickness, to be present. Governor
Porter is here in his stead, and delivered one of
his able and characteristic speeches His speech
was well received and loudly applauded.

The remarks were applauded.
The Rev. G. c. S. Heath followed in stirring
speech. He asserted that he could not, as
Christian, vote for St John and thereby con-
tribute toward the success of the Democratic
party. He ascribed the idleness at the iron and
steel works in this city to the possibility, how
ever slight of the election of Cleveland and the
triumph of free trade.
The Rev. E. II. Brown also spoke against
making prohibition national issue He said he
started out a strong Prohibitonist but had
studied the question and concluded that he
could not vote for st. John. Il vote as 1 pray

LOVE LETTERS BY SABLE.
Between Langtry, the Lily, and Freddy, the
Lover.
New York Special.


The often-rumored Langtry Gerhard marriage
is likely to take some definite shape when the
Jersey beauty returns to this country. Before
another year is over Mrs. Langtry will be Mrs
Gerhard. That is now about certain. The two
parties most interested have been within the
past week or ten days sending each other cable
dispatches of so, 100 and even 200 words clip
Mr.. Gebhard has been the most active in this
expensive style of epistolary communication
And he never hesitates at the length of dis
patch, so that he can make it perfectly clear to
his lady love. Mr. Langtry is the only object in
the way of speedy marriage. He is quite
impoverished, and has been endeavorng during
the past two years to make living by runninga
sort of race track and restaurant near The Hague
in Holland To say that husband and wife have
not been on very loving terms during this time
is to tell the plain and simple truth. Through q
friend Mr.. Langtry was approached on the sub
iect of a divorce, she did not dare to make the
proposition directly. Mr.. Langtry said very
cooily, Certainly, let there be divorce Bnt
must be the plaintiff. 1t was explained to him
that this would be next to impossible to accomp
lish. His wife would never consent to act in the
position of defendant in such a suit, for she
would have to bear all the odium.
'"Then let her remain married till my DEATH :"
said Mr. Langtry, and, he added u am pref
ty healthy man"
Thus the Langtry Gebhard marriage looks
further off than ever, aud Mrs. Langtry resolved
to become a resident of some portion of the
United States where the divorce laws were com
paratively lenient. But she could find none to
fit. Mr., Langtry has not been unfaithful, he
had not been cruel he had not deserted her.
and still offered to provide for her in his hum
BILE way if she came back to him. So she
literally had no leg to stand on.
The Lily made another appeal and Mr..
Langtry, who is said to have some notion of re
marrying, consented. Mr.. 11angtry said he un
derstood that in some American States there
were several reasons for divorce. and perhaps it
would be better to bring the action there and he
would not appear.
This, it is said, is the cause of the sudden
cable correspondence between Mrs. Langtry and
Mr. Gerhard He is getting the information
necessary in the matter and is furnishing it by
cable so as to save delay. True, his information
is not encouraging In the State of New York
of which Mrs. Langtry is resident by law, there
is but one cause for divorce, and even then II
must not be procured by collision between the
parties. Nearer than Montana there is no State
or Territory which would divorce Mr.. Langtry
under two years 1t is not unlikely, therefore
then they will, after all, appeal to the law OF
England, where actual divorce laws arc
easier than here The new French law has
been discussed, and the law OF Holland too, Of
which Mr.. Langley is Resident But even
there it woHtd need that the wife go and remain
some time if she would be the one to bring the
case.

METHODIST MINISTERS.
AS Practical Prohibitionists They Decline to
a Vote for St.iJoIln.

Troy IN. Y).Special.
a meeting of the Methodist ministers of this
eity was held this morning to consider the ques-
dion, t'The Political Issues of the Hour" 1t
was intended that discussions should be dispas-
Bionate and as far as possible conducted in a
partisan spirit, but the statement of the
Rev. d. F. Elliott clergyman of advanced
years, that prohibition was the prime issue of
the campaign, brought to his feet the Rev. En-
sign McChesney Phi. D., pastor of the largest
and most influential Methodist congregation in
the city. He spiritedly declared that prohibition
was good policy as far as it is practicable, but
failed to see the benefit to be derived by voting
by voting for St John 'It seems to
me-" continued Dr. McChesney, there are
sther issues which demand as much attention as
prohibition. There is another issue that we can
not and must not ignore in this caLvass-an is
sue that is peculiar but is important as we'll l
refer to the issue of chastity. 1t cannot be
ignored that the leading candidate of the Demo
cratic party stands before the country accused
of unchastity and even his friends do not at
tempt to DENY it, Grover CleYeland's reputation
is foully smirched. The issue before us is, Will
we have man in the White House who stands
before the people accused Of being a libertine
and the charge is not denied, or a man whose
whole life has been all that can be desired2
Either the Republican or the Democratic candi-
date must win Shall We as Christians, as
fathers as American citizens cast our votes in
favor of putting Grover Cleveland into the

also practical Prohibitionist. Two years ago

thiEk making the question a national Issue is
mistake the American people cannot afford
TO make. The St John men cannot hope to
elect their candidate; therefore the practical
question is: Shall we support an honest, upright
