PENDLEToN, Oct 30-A rousng Republican
meeting was held here last night the speakers
being Hon. John w. Lovett, of Anderson. and
Hon. Thomas Boyd of Noblesville. On a divis-
ion of subjects, Mr.. Loyett spoke at length on
national affairs. He showed his audience that
political parties, like individuals, should be
judged by the characters they have established;
that the Republican party, as an applicant for
public favors and public trust, came before the
country with character that could not be
truthfully assaulted; that il had been true to its
pledges at all times; that the Democratic party
had record of broken promises and pledges
that made it unworthy OF the confidence of
the people. He spoke of the charges made by
the Democratic speakers during last campaign,
and showed how fully they had been refuted.
In logical and forcible argument he showed
how the protective tariff laws had benefited the
farmers and producers by building up homo
market for the fruits of the soil, and that under
these laws competition had prevented monopo-
lies and reduced the cost of what the farmer had
to buy far below the prices paid under the rev.
enue tariff IN the old Democratic days He re-
viewed the administration of President Ceve-
land, showing that the failure Of the President
and the Democratic Congress to agree on any
the country had resulted in a stagnation Of
commerce and trade. and depreciation in the
value of farm products. He criticised the acts
of the administration in preferring the claims of
confederates to those of the Union soldiers in APP
pointnents to Office, and in vetoing the special
pension bills.
In conclusion, he urged upon Republicans that
the national administration could and should be
rebuked by placing Indiana in the Republican
column on next Tuesday.
Mr. Boyd followed in a speech devoted to State
affairs, showing how the benevolent institutions
had been mismanaged and the State disgraced
by Democratic officials He dwet at length
on the condition of the State treasury,
and the action of the Democratic ma
jorty on the committee in preventing investiga-
ton into the accounts. He showed the infamy
of the gerrymander and that in the passage of
the apportionment bill the Democratic Legisla-
ture had violated the Constitution and disre-
garded the principle upon which this govern
mont is founded, that all men shall be equal and
that the majority shall rule.
The speeches taken together made an eloquent
and able presentation of the cause, which
aroused Republicans and set Democrats TO
thinking.
An Attack on Gen. Browne That Reacted.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WINCHESTER Oct 3l.-The Democrat, an ir-
responsible Democratic paper here, has made
itself offensive to all decent people in this county
by its low, personal attacks Gen. T. Nj
Browne, candidate for Congress. On Friday,
after all the Republican papers of the county
had been issued the Democrat published a
pointless and pitiful affidavit, by which it at
tempted to bolster up its old charges that Gen.
Browne had sometime in his life spoken soma
word dsparagingly of workingmen. Ono or two
reputable citizens, Who as claimed by the Dem
ocrat, heard the conversation, were importuned
to join in the affidavit, but Indignantly declined.
The Ananias who made the affidavit had to be
taken eight miles away from his home
and friends and led before a Democratic
notary before he could screw his courage I'D TO
the swearing point. The result of the whole
matter is that General Brownies friends are
thoroughly aroused, and are working they
would not otherwise have done.
The Republicans Of the other counties of the
Sixth district rest assured that the known
falsehoods Of the Democratic smut-mill will be
rebuked by the largest majority given Gen.
Browne in this county. The Republicans are
well organized in every township, with the best
arrangements for getting out full vote

BLOOMINGTON, Oct 31-Last night closed one
OF the largest rallies in the history of politics in
Monroe county. People were present from
every section to greet the Republican speakers.
Ex-Governor Porter spoke at 2 o'clock to a tre-
mendous audience giving such talk as will do
much good next Tuesday. At night Oliver
T. Morton addressed the people. Owing to the
cold night air he was compelled to speak in the
courtroom, and during his speech of more than
hour the room was packed and the aisles
crowded.
In an interview with Hon. William Browning,
who is chairman of the Fifth district Republican
committee, he stated that the chances foS the
election of Hon. Ira j. Chase are exceedingly en-
couraging, and if Republicans will make special
effort Colonel Matson will be defeated The dis
satisfaction is remarkable, and the fact that
Democrats are offering to trade for his benefit
shows the desperation of their case.
