Mr.. English Candidate for Reelection
Further Campaign Arrangements.

1t is certain as such things can. be, that Hon
w. E. English will be candidate for reelection
in spite of his repeated declarations that he will
not Since his return from New York there has
been a strong demand that he shall make the
race. and although he has not yet declared
himself" his most intimate friends are working
vigorously for him, and leaders of the different
factions of the Democracy have agreed that ne
shall receive the nomination, and probably
unanimously This conclusion has been
arrived at for various reasons. 1t is
argued that if anybody else is nominated,
it will be confession of weakness;
that English could not be elected and therefore
would not rum But the most potent argument
is financial one. 1t is thought that the elder
English viii not contribute anything to the
campaign fund unless his son is on the ticket IT
he is a candidate however, his father will be
pleased to put So, 600 or $4,000 in this district
which will be of material benefit, as the money is
badly needed. Dr. Edenharter, Councilman
Bowling, Joseph T. Tanning and a number OF
others are working the English boom at present
with fair prospects of success. This is rather
rough on w. d. Bynum, who, with English out
of the field, would have walk away for the
nomination
Dr. j. c. Lewis vino has been travelling
throughout the State considerably, gave the fol
lowing account of the political outlook to a Jour
nal reporter last night:
cat every point where stopped / inquired
into the relative strength of the different parties,
and find that where the Democrats have been
casting the majority vote they are confident of
their usual strength, because the Republicans
will not divide on the State ticket and at other
places they say that the Democrats will gain
more by the Prohibition ticket than they will
lose by the Butler faction. In White, Clinton,
Tippecanoe Boone and Hamilton counties the
prevailing opinion to be that the State Pro-
hibition ticket vote will be very insignificant In
Jasper county the only place where they seemed
to know that Mr.. Dwiggins is candidate, Is Rens-
selaer, where his own family will not vote the
ticket, but some other personal friends are going
to get about twenty votes for him out of respect
for the man simply. In Lake, Newton and Ben
ton counties the fight is nearly all
between the two old parties. One thing is
very certain-that Major Calkins is gaining in
strength throughout the northern part of the
State and another is almost as sure-and that is
that the slanderous attack of the Sentinel upon
Blaines family is even driving votes away from
the Cleveland ticket.
''The temperance people will nearly all vote
for Prof Hobbs; and in the northern counties
find men who have not for long time voted the
Republican ticket who will vote for this man on
account of his honesty and efficiency"

only with great difficulty that he could breathe
until he was given relief by an application of
mustard. He was taken to his home at La Porte
