He Addresses Two Large Meetings and
Leaves an Excellent Impression.
Correspondence OF the Indianapolis journal.
BLooMINGroK, Sept. H. The political eveEt
of this campaign occurred at this place yester-
day, and last night The Republicans of Bloom
ington are used to large gatherings and have had
to hold their meetings in the courthouse park,
but yesterdays meeting surpassed all expecta-
tions From every part of the county came
people to hear their candidate for Governor,
Major W. H Calkins. The meeting was per
feet ovation to the gallant Major Between
1000 and 5000 persons greeted him in
the afternoon and at night, and
the greatest enthusiasm and good feeling
prevailed The speech Of Mr.. Caikins, in the
afternoon, was one of the most mastery efforts
nearo from any orator at this place. His reason
ing, argument and logic received like applause
with his eloquence Atthe close of his speech
the immense audience crowded around him; and
cordial greeting and handshaking occupied
many minutes, some Democrats right on the
spot pledging HIM their support.
The Major was followed by a short, effective
speech by Col Friedley, of Bedford and the af-
ternoon meeting closed with a pole raising and
general rejoicing The meeting at night was
almost as large as was the afternoon meeting.
1t had beenIannounced that, as large portion Of
laboring men could not attend the former meet
ing, MaJer Calkins would addressthem at night
and this announcement was sufficient to crowd
the stand until the outskirts of the
crowd was almost out of hearing distance The
evening meeting was addressed by Mr.. God
dard, in half hour speech on the life and SER
vices of Blaine, which was followed by a speech
of the same length by A II. Harryman in
swer to the Democratic cry for administrative
and revenue reform Mr. Calkins was then in
troduced, and FIVE minutes continued applause
greeted him. His address 10 the laboring men
was strong, elective and will result in much
good It will not be saying too much to state
that Major Calkins has completely captured the
| people at this pace, and will carry away with
him the respect and esteem of the best people of
all parties He did good work here for he has
made votes Bruce Carr followed with short
4 speech, and was rendered hearty reception

close their mortgage; they will take immediate
steps with that view, and buy in the works when
