LEwIsvLLE, Oct. 19-Saturday night Lewis

delegations from Greensboro, Spiceland, Ben

Lisbon, in uniform, carrying torches, cow bells
and og-horns-with brass bands from Greens
boro, Spiceland, Dublin and Lewisville-paraded
our streets, cheering for Ohio and Blaine and

coat of red, they disbanded, to listen
TO an able logical and eloquent address
by Hon. D. W. Comstock, of Richmond, who,
by his fair and candid treatment of the
political issues, held a large audience in close at
tention throughout. After speaking, the boys
again took up their paint brush, building a large
bonfire and marching around it, playing martial
music and singing Ohio. Altogether, this was
the largest crowd and completest demonstration
ever held in southern Henry, and ~irritates the
Democratic hot-bed like shaking a red rag at an
enraged bull. Republicans here are so aroused
and enthused that we only have to shake the

Catching Quail in the Ohio River.

CAIRO. Ill, Oct ia novel sight was wit
messed a few miles below Smithland, KY, on the
Ohio river, yesterday by a party of gentlemen
crossing the river in a skHf. A large flock of
river, which is very wide at that point, and be
coming exhausted with the unusual distance all
fell gradually tiuttering into the stream in mid
river, and when the skiff was driven into the
flock they were unable to lift their water soaked
little bodies from the water, though making
frantic efforts to do so, the while uttering
frightened and p~laintive chirps. Many were
picked up so thoroughly exhausted that they re-
manned perfectly quiet when thrown into the
bottom of the skif, When last seen many were
quietly awaiting their fate while others were
working their way slowly toward the Illinois
shore.

Senator Harrison at Ron City.

Correspondence OF the Indianapo is Journal.
TELL CITY, Oct. 17.-Senator Ben Harrison
and William L. Taylor, of indianapolis, came
down the Ohio by boat, during the night, from
Leavenworth, and stopped this morning at Can
Melton, where a long procession formed to ac-
company the speakers to this city. At the noon
hour the various delegations from every part of
the county began forming, and, when the Can
Melton delegation came in, the city saw the
largest and finest demonstration seen here since
1865. The whole county turned out with decor
ated wagons, glee clubs, banners, transparencies
and horsenen. Stretched over the entrance to
market square, the place Of speaking, was a
large decorated canvas with the words, "Wel-
come to Senator Ben Harrison, and the crowd
that greeted the speakers was one of the largest
and most demonstrative ever held in southern
Indiana. General James c. Veatch introduced
Senator Harrison in some well-timed remarks,
after which the Senator spoke for two hours in
the splendid style he is capable of. His discus
sion of the record of the Republican party on
the finances, and especially the surplus in the
treasury, was clear ana convincing. He said
that the scheme Of Senator Voorhees,, who spoke
here yesterday, to divide the money In the
treasury among the people, was little less than
downright dishonesty; that a large part of the
so-called surplus does not belong to the govern
ment at all. His appeal to the soldiers was par
ticularly effective, and the many moist eyes in
the vast audience testified to the power of the
orator, and the sympathy for the theme. A
feature of the day was the hundreds of men and
women, especially old soldiers, who pressed
around the Senator to shake hands with him.

A Big Time at New Albany.

Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
New ALBANY, Oct is. & Thursday night it
was determined to celebrate the Republican vic
tory in Ohio, and Saturday was designated as
the time. Although the notice was short, the
demonstration was in the highest degree salts
factory to the Republicans. The clubs from
Jacksonville came down, and, uniting with
those of New Albany, formed a procession which
was estimated to contain not less than
two thousand torches. The employees of the
glass-works made a cannon and had it on the
river front, keeping it parallel with the process
sion and firing it constantly. Houses along the
line of march were illuminated and profusely
decorated. while sky-rockets were constantly
ascending, and everywhere was the glare
of red fire. AT the central Republic
an stand there was a crowd of not
less than s, 900, which was addressed by General
Thayer. Senator Yancey, Major Blackburn and
Col. Keigwin. The enthusiasm was indescribable
and was kept up till midnight. The Keigwin
Guards, Of Jeffersonville, bore the palm for fine
appearance. This club is the finest uniformed
and finest appearing organization in the StaUe.

Under the passionate of the Rev. J. A. Rond-

Church are being largely attended, and a new
and deep interest exhibited by the members Of
the congregation. Yesterday morning the sery-
ices were for the children especially, and mem
bers of the Sunday school took part in songs and
antiphonal readings. Mr.. Rondthalers sermon
was to the little folks, and was devoted to the
works of Andrew, the Apostle. He showed that
while very little was said of him, the five re-
corded actions of his life, although triies in
themselves, led to great results. They were
such things as any little boy Or girl, or timid
adult Christian may easily do, and q study Of
Andrew is full of encouragement to all. The
pulpit was handsomely decorated, and the serv
ice entertaining to the youthful hearers. and

tions were present from Charlottesville, Wave

town of 800 inhabitants. An immense pro

shouts and a grand display of fireworks, decora-
tons and Nominations. The town was bright
with light and wild with enthusiasm.

Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
WNAMAc, Oct. IS. The Hon. David l..
Bishop, of Kentland, addressed a large audi
ence of Republicans at Francesville last night.
The audience was made up of the best citizens
of the place. Close attention was given
throughout his entire speech, and the verdict of
nearly al was that Mr.. Bishops speech was
one Of the very best they had listened to this
campaign. He touched upon the tariff question,
and gave some of his personal obs %~vations of
the workings of free trade in England, his ma
tive country, and contrasted the difference be-
tween the condition of things there and tnis
country in a manner that will certainly make
intelligent working people stop and think, and
at once see the real benefits Of q protective
policy, Mr.. Bishop handled come of the infam-
Gus and partisan laws passed by the late Demo
cratic Legislature in the interests of the party,
and against the interests Of the people at large,
in an intelligent and convincing manner.

Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 19-By means of advertising,
music, fireworks, etc, the Democrats succeeded
in getting a large crowd and considerable enthu-
thusiam at their jubilee meeting last night,
though it was observable that the speaker of the
evening never once alluded to Ohio or West Nir-
ginia.
This was the close of Col. Matson's campaign
in this county, and a great effort was made to
give him a big send-off to eounteractt the evident
lukewarmness felt toward him. Almost his
whole speech was devoted to a defense of his
own record on the tariff and pension bills. He
repeated over and over the exploded
fallacy that tariff duties are a
tax paid entirely by the consumer, said the peo-
pie paid fifty per cent. more for their sugar, sixty
nine per cent. moro for their wooden goods, etc,
than they would but for the odious tax or tariff.
He favored a large reduction in duties, but was
not a free-trader, neither was his party a free
trade party. He voted for the Morrison bill and
was proud of it; his only regret was that he did
not vote for a greater reduction; admitted his
Bloomington speech and re-affiImed its princi-
pies. He spent much time defending his action
as chairman of the pensions committee;
claimed that the Senate admendments
killed the Mexican bills and was
particularly severe on the one debarring
soldiers from its benefits until sixty-two years of
age. He condemned the Robinson bill to pension
ex prisoners and read a garbled extract from his
own substitute to show that it was much supe-
rior. He was much confused when a soldier
asked him to read the remainder of the section,
which showed that it did not apply to expris-
oners any more than any other class, and was
really little benefit. He was then urged to read
the whole bill which he did rapidly, and it was
found to contain a clause in regard to age, SINH
lar to the one he had just condemned in the Mex
lean bill, and it also provides for pensioning
all soldiers who have been engaged in any war
for the United States and are now suffering from
disability. This not only included ex-rebels who
had been in the Mexican and other wars, but
provided that they might receive as high as 1924
per month, while by the same bill no ex- prisoner
could receive more than $8. He failed to explain
many other things that the soldiers especially
wanted to hear and the exposure of his little
trick disguised a large part Of the audience.

Greener, of Washington, d. c., addressed quite
a large audience of Republicans at this place,

til its close. His personal experience with the
bulldozing methods of the South is q fund from
which he draws with telling effect. The fact
that Mr.. Greener had a large audience, with
only a few hours notice, is evidence of the en-
thusiasm among Republicans at this place.

A letter from Lafayette, the headquarters of

feated for reelection. He was never a man of

Of any man in the State. They are short, prac-
Neal, and full of unanswerable points.
Then the private record of Ward as he lived
in Washington is being looked up. It is not
that of a man who is temperate. The good and
intelligent people of this district want a man
with some degree of sobriety and decency, and
a man who will maintain dignity and attend to
the business he is elected to perform. My word
for it, Major Doxey will be elected by 1900

The Campaign in southern Indiana.

Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
LAwRENCEBURG, Oct. 19-To state an abso-
Lutte fact tersely, the campaign is progressing to
the eminent satisfaction of the Republicans.
The Democrats here were utterly discouraged at
their local outlook, and had hoped that they
would get some encouragement from Ohio, but
their ignominious defeat after their wild boast
ings, has so disheartened them that it is ques-
tionable whether they will rally in time to do
any campaign work before the election.
This county has heretofore been Democratic
from 900 to 600, but the Republicans now
confidently expect to cut this down at least one
half on the State and national tickets, and they
will elect their sheriff and Judge Givan, the in
dependent candidate for judge. The demonstra-
tons and rallies had by the Republicans have
been more enthusiastic and larger than those of
the Democrats, and the changes here have all
been in favor of the Republicans. The rally on
Thursday night at Aurora, r~atifying
the Republican victory in Ohio,
was one Of the largest and most
enthusiastic demonstrations ever had there by
any party. The uniformed and cavalry clubs
from Lawrenceburg and the surrounding coun-
try were on hand, and there was no street in the
town long enough to hold them all at one time.
In Ohio county, which lies next to this on the
southwest, and which is a part of this judicial
district, the campaign is proceeding as fully sat
isfactory to the Republicans. They have, even
in that small county, about 120 majority, and
this year they expect to make it a round 200 on
the State and national ticket, and they will elect
every single county officer.

KNIGHTsrowN, Oct. 18.-The S~entiners reporter
from this place made a most unwarranted attack
upon our Republicans in this mornings issue of
that sheet. He charges that the Republicans
tried co break up Judge Hord's meeting here ON
Wednesday night. 1t is absolutely false. Mr..
Hord was not materially disturbed by the Re
publican jollification, which was held nearly a
square away, and was kept within due bounds
until the Democratic meeting in the hall was
over. The prudence of the Republicans was in
former occasion, when a band of drunken roughs,
under the lead of the Democratic central com
mitteeman, seriously interfered with Mr.. Nor
tons meeting by shouting for Cleveland and
jeff Davis.
