The Eev. Talmage's lectures on The

great attention, were the subject Of dis

who took n lively interest In the question
was a spirited young lady of Kentucky,

The two disputants grew 80 earnest that all

come up out Of the original subject OF

applauding each rs they scored n point
lie was cool and sarcastic, she hot and OK
citable, and as champion Of her soX's
rights, won the hearts Of the gentlemen
and the cheers Of the ladies. Their ideas
were entirely at variance, and seeing no
prospect Of an early ending OF the
discussion, waggish friend suggested
q lunch for the party, excepting the young
lady and gentleman, who were TO have
none until they found their ideas agreeing
upon some well-knOwn and important ques.
tion. They were hungry and began to beat
about, each now anxious to help the other
to mutual ideas. The friends praised the
viands, and the young mans mouth
watered. lie wanted to give in, but the
flashing eyes Of his opponent neryed him.
Finally he tried strategy

President Cleveland and Miss Van Vechton
attended service at Rov. DR.. Sunderland's
church Yesterday morning. The text was taken
from JohnXiv:27 "Will ye also be hs.dlsciples?"
AFTER the introduction, which connected the
text With the narration OF Christ's giving sight
to the blind man, the arguments wero then
tcgun. The points discussed were that dsci-
plCship is the universal condition OF mans
nature. All men are disciples of some master
or other. Some of mammon, some of fashion,
some of Incidence, some of fame, and finally.

like chant. Stopping, he began poetic

the ladies. Hardly had he said amen when
he became seized by the spirits, and he told
the audience the names of the spirits, many
of whom were well known to the public,
and delivered messages TO friends. The
messages, however, were not consoling, and
contained no information.

NEXT POLITICAL BATTLE.
National Importance of Coming Flee
tlons-The Outlook in Indiana.

Prominent Iudianians of both political
parties, who have lately arrived here, agree
that so far as the legislature is concerned
the next election will be close, with chances
apparently in favor ofthe Democrats. But,
Notwithstanding the "gerrymandern Of the
state by which the Dem ocruts calculated to
secure 1t against all efforts of the Republic
cans, the latter are hopeful of wrestling the
legislature from Democratic control, and,
In this connection, frank Democrats admit
that they are not free from apprehension
that the active work Of the Republicans, to-
gether with serious and widespread Demo-
cratic "kickinGn on account of dssatisfac-
ton with the administration at Washington,
will result in Republican victory. The sit
uation, however, is different with regard TO
the contest for state offices. Very few
Democrats are really hopeful of carrying
the election, while Republicans manifest
confidence In their party's success.
The battle for the legislature will be
fought with great energy and earnestness.
The stake is of greater magnitude than any
ever before fought for in the Hooser state.
The Democrats calculated that with the
gain Of senator from Indiana they will be
able to capture the United States Senate
next year, and thus relieve the Democratic
party and its administration of the STUN
bling block-the sole check-in the way Of
all Its pet schemes.
A Republican Congressman remarked
last night that II the Democrats could get
control Of the Senate he believed Cleve-
lands professed virtue would be "knocked
into a cooked hat;n that the President
would be forced to yield his pretentions
about civil service reform, and to give full
sway to the Jacksonian policy In defer
ence to the demands of the victors for the
spoils. Beyond that, and of much greater
importance to the nation, is the wholesome
check which the Republican Senate holds
upon vicious legislation, such as tariff tink-
ering, "wild-cat" Democratic Schemes, and
revolutionary proceedings generally.
But, /" said the congressman, 81 have no
fear that We will lose control Of the Senate,
and, furthermore, l share the confidence
felt by nearly every intelligent Republican
of my acquaintance that the Republicans
will gain the House of Representatives this
year.
