HON. JOHN GIBBONS.

Hon. John Gibbons of Chicago, prominent
Irish American who has come out against Cleve-
land and Hendricks and the free-trade platform
of the Democratic party, is stopping at the
Grand Hotel, where a number Of Irish-Ameri
cans, both Democrats and Republicans, called
upon him yesterday. He will be here until A
o'clock this afternoon, when he will leave for
Crawfordsyille, where heswil speak this even
ing, having enlisted for the campaign and be-
ing billed to deliver number of speeches in this
State. Mr.. Gibbons is known to many persons
in Indiana, having attended Notre Dame Col
lege in 1867 and 1868. He was born and raised
in Ireland in County Donegal, near Letter
kenny. This is the county in which Senator
Voorhees, man McSweeney lives, and in which
he is now poor guardian in the Dunfannehy
district Mr. Voorhees,, in his speech, with his
usual lack of ghtforwardness and honesty,
seeks to convey the impression that insolvency
had been arrested by the British authorities di-
rectly upon his arrival from San Francisco, Cal.
when the truth ishe had lived in Ireland nearly
four years before his arrest took place. and he is
to day an officer working under the British
crown. The bishop of the diocese in which Nc
Sweeney lives is a cousin of Mr.. Gibbons, and
the latter will probably have something to say
about this case during the canvass
After leaving Notre Dame Mr.. Gibbons went
to Philadelphia, studied law and then returning
to the West, located in Keokuk, where he lived
for ten years. For five years he held both the
offices of city attorney and that of prosecutor of
the First Iowa district, resiguing to go to the
Legislature. In 1873 he was nominated by the
Democracy of Iowa as Attorney general and
came nearer being elected than any Democrat
who had ever ran on the State ticket there since
1860 Mr. Gibbons owned and edited the Keo
kuk Constitution from 1875 to 1877. He is now

Colonel James Keigwin, of Jeffersonville, is
in the city, and was present on Saturday night
at the Republican meeting at the Park Theater,
addressed by Senator Harrison. Colonel Keig-
win has for years been leader and worker in
the Democratic party, and has been conspicuous
for his jealous and untiring efforts to promote
It's success. The free-trade tendencies of the
party, however, together with its manifest lack

change in his political views. In an interview,
yesterday, Col. Keigwin expressed himself to a
Journal reporter as highly pleased with the fair

Senator Harrison's speech and in the course of

FOURTH EDITION,



When the ordinance was passed by
City Council about year or 20 ago,
establishing u curbstone market ON
Madison street, the venture was looked
upon BY many - . foo lish one, and nu-
mer0us were the cries to the effect that
it would never b success. A faw per
sons, however, took right hold of the
matter, and the market WAS started up
with from hfteen TO twenty wagons,
together with several local dealers who
were built along tina. th0roughfAre,
and ~ time advanced several dWsllil 2
houses were turned into stores and the
street began to put on . business like
appearance. Contrary to the AutiCipa-
lions Of many, the market increased,
and ono by one the buyers began 70
get weaned away from King street ami
made their purchases in the new mar.
ket. As the number Of buyers increased
the attendance Of farmers grew larger,
and ~ q result, the new enterprise went
booming along until 1t is now almost M
large ~ King street. On Saturday last
there wers III wagons backed up 1t the
curb, reaching from Second to Sixth
street. While this market has greatly
increased there has been no noticeable
decrease in the attendance in King
street market, which clearly shows to
the mind of our readers that the world
moves. and with 1t the city OF viii.
m ingtoh Is ON the increase. When the
Mad ison street market was first sstab.
lished 1t was a difficult matter to induce
persons living In the western part OF
the city ~ give up the long walk to
King street, but finally, after patient
endurance, they were enticed away
and now they can't See how they ever
got along without the new market.
The market is still increasing and it In to
be hoped that ~ the city extends aud
builds up, that it will continue to grow
until it outrivals Its worthy competi
tor.
