first speaker was Hon. A. NJ. Hardy, who made
a mastery and logical address, largely on the
tariff question, as it affects the farmers. His
speech was very effective. and loudly applauded.
The next speaker the most brilliant young
orator in Indiana, Hon. j. L. Griffiths, of In
dianapolis, who completely captured the audience
and worked it to the highest pitch of enthusiasm.
His speech was a mastery presentation of the
issues of the campaign, and was delivered with
an eloquence that can be equaled by few of the
orators of the day. General Finnell, of Ken
lucky, made the closing speech which was fine
presentation of the condition of the South under
Bourbon rule. The meeting was a splendid sue
cess. Mr.. Griffiths and Mr.. Hardy are speaking

Isaac Carter at Versailles.

Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
VERSAILLES, Oct. 2L-Hon. Isaac Carter, of
BrookSille, addressed his old neighbors and
friends here last Saturday night. The court
room was well filed, many being ladies. Mr..
Carter's speech was replete with solid argument
in favor of protecting American industries, and
gave facts and figures showing the country had
been benefited by the national legislation of a
Republican Congress, and that Democratic
craftsmanship was standing menace to our
peace and prosperity. Mr. Carter compared
prices paid English laborers and those paid here
for the same kind of work, and prices paid for
the necessaries of life, showing at least one half
or more to the advantage of American workmen.
His speech was 'attentively listened to, and
was well received Mr.. Carter will make about
five more spesches and as he is well known over
the central and south part of the county, will
certainly do good. Mr.. Carter is of Democratic
antecedents, but like thousands of young
men since 1865, attaining his majority, be-
came strong Republican.

make a speech. He said enough, however, to
fire the boys with enthusiasm and incite them
to more earnest work during the remainder of
the cAmnaign. ~
