WEAK NOMINATIONS
Weaken the Third Party Movement In
the South,

the SOutHs
Special Telegram to the Re0fstsr.
WASHINGTON, August 27.-The agi-
tation caused by the third party move
ment was for time source OF consid-
erable apprehension TO great many OF
the Democratic Congressional candi-
dates in the South, but the weak noml-
nations which have been generally
made by the new party has caused the
situation TO become very much less Sc
rious.
In the Sixth Texas District Congress-
man 10 Abbott is opposed by Jerome
c. Kirby, of the Peoples party, man
whom Judge Hare, of Texas, describes
as being able ''to talk six months at a
stretch without food or water, and
never make point" Kirby enjoys the
distinction of uniting colossal nerve
with an utter ignorance Of public al
fairs. He once engaged in joint dis
cussiGn with Judge Culbertson, OF
Texas, on the money question. The
Judge, who is one OF the deep thinkers
and impressive speakers OF the National
House of representatives, made
pointed address on the financial policy
of the Democratic party. Kirby, who
was then Greenbacker, and wholly
unacquainted with the subject Of fin
ance, made az attack on the old parties
because the Treasury destroyed the
worn paper money which was returned
in the course of business. He contend
ed that it was a robbery to destroy the
notes.
why" said Kirby to his audience,
"every day in Washington they put
billions of paper money in macorator
and grind it up"
"You mean millions, don't you?' sug-
gested Culbertson mildly. There
never was billion of paper money in
circulation in this country at time"
''Now look at that" replied Kirby
scornfully, with an impatient wave OF
the hand. my opponent wants to
dodge this issue on q techinality. l
leave it TO this intelligent audience II
there is any difference between millions
and billions"
The laugh which followed Kirby's ap-
peal made further continuance OF the
debate impossible, but il took him two
or three days TO discover what was
funny in his remark.

NEW YORK, August 2s.-The work
of preparation has been virtually tn-
ished by Corbett and Sullivan and now
each aims and hopes to go into the ring
on the night OF the 7th Of September in
as good fettle as he is at present.
Sullivan was the first to quit training.
He Quit hard work on Tuesday in order
10 give his badly blistered feet an op-
portunity to heal. 1t is matter of
fact that the bad condition Of his feet
has given his friends some concern, but
he feels sure that they will be all right.
II they are not, they are apt TO trouble
him good deal il his encounter with
Corbett should be protracted one.
The admirers Of Sullivan cannot see
how he can be defeated. They boldly
announce IN fact that he has a verita-
bic cake walk, and that the battle is all
over but the shouting. They argue that
Sullivan has trained as he never did be-
fore. He is stronger, too, than ever,
and as much Of q human hurricane as
when he moved down Ryan, Mitchell,
Slade, Wilson and Kirain. No living
man, they declare, can stand his rushes,
and the same fate awaits Corbett as be-
fell other ambitious aSprants for cham
pionship honors. The friends OF Cor
bett predict
WHOLLY DIFFERENT
outcome Of the great battle. They have
no hesitation in saying that Sullivan is
''up against it this time for fair"
The champion, they claim, has never
hnf in
his life. In skill, strength and quick
ness he is a perfect marvel.
In addition to these qualities OF
greet fighter "Pompadour Jim" has
natural advantages over Sullivan in the
way of height and reach. He is three
inches taller and the length of his arms
is ex traordinary. His hitting powers
are but slightly inferior TO these OF Sui
livan and his nimblenesS is sure TO keep
him out of harms way. Naturally he
has by far the greater endurance and
ten years of youth in his favor cannot
but aid him In case OF & protracted
struggle.
So reason the partiSans OF both sides.
Conservative sportsmeu who are famii-
TAR with the performances OF the boxers
are OF the opinion tnat neither mas
mortgage upon the purse and stakes.
They believe that the battle will be a
hard, scientific one from start to finish
aud that it will last for something like
an hour.
ANY MAN SUITS HIM.
Some one recently mentioned to Cor
bett, that Prof. John Duffy, the Olym-
pic Clubs referee, did not favor in
fighting very much and that therefore
Corbett and Sullivan would most likely
do most OF their work at long range.
ANY way will do me-" said COrbett.
Prof. Duffy bears an unblemiShed
name and feel perfectly
confident that he will DO the square and
fair thing 10y both of us, Some people
seem TO think l am afraid OF close work
with Sullivan. Now we will fight un-
der fair rules, and so lOrg as l conform
with them / have the right TO elect
whether l wlllfght at long, or at close
range, if can, but ] intend TO con-
vince Sullivan that / can take the best
OF care of myself at all stages and at
any stage of the game. | expect him
to fight fairly, as | shall, and | don't
think either of us will give Mr. Duffy
much trouble"

Protection Against cyclones.

A reliable meteorological bureau would
be very valuable, to farmers perhaps more
especially, but more or less to nearly every
class of citizens. We use the word rei-
able not in any carping or fault-fnding
sense.
The government is probably doing its best
to establish reliable meteorological stations
and to secure reports that may be de-
pended upon. The system or science is as
yet in rather crude state, although when
we look back few years the progress
made in this direction is rather astonish-
ing. DIR. WILLIAM d. GENTRY of Chicago.
whose alleged discovery of the grip mi
crobe was announced when the disease
was unusually prevalent, seems to be a
gentleman OF brains and observation. He
at one time lived in Kansas, and on a re-
cent visit to New York City reporter of
that city had talk with him which en-
braced an extensive and interesting refer
ence to the cyclones and tornadoes which
recently swept through Kansas and some
other sections with such deadly effect.
The doctor does not hesitate to say that
the people might have been informed of
the origin and progress of the storms, and
that many lives might have been spared
had we more perfect system of meteor
illogical observation and signals than the
government now provides. He pointed
out the untoward results that would nat
urally follow the placing in charge Of
meteorological reports soldiers of mex
perence. who lack the proper knowl-
edge of electricity. and who are ignorant
as to how a knowledge of it's presence in
the atmosphere can be ascertained. He
suggested remedy for all this. and that
was to put practical electricians in charge
instead OF soldiers.
An electrician or telegrapher can de-
termine better by the spring Of his arma-
ture before the magnet, and by reports
from Offices along the line, where and
when a change or the formation OF
storm takes place. and can
give a more reliable statement as

course no agreement of this kind is or can
be in any sense binding upon the state
convention. 1t will go before that body
only as a recommendation, but having
been unanimously Endorsed by the state
central committee and the executive COM
mittee, accepted by Ex-Governor GRAY
and his most trusted advisers, and agreed
10 by some of the most active supporters
OF Mr.. CLEVELAND, it ought to carry
great deal of weight. and we think it will.
Every man who agreed to it is bound to
use his best efforts to secure it's adoption
by the convention, and TO see that, having
been adopted, il is carried out in the most
absolute good faith by the delegation to
Chicago
The language of the resolution as agreed
to at the conference is perfectly plain, and
is susceptible of but one construction. 1t
will be urged in the interest OF unity and
democratic success. Men of character
will no doubt be selected as delegates at
large-men who are incapable of evasion
or trickery, or sharp practice OF any kind.
Care should be taken to select none but
neu VI the same SlTlpe d5 ulstrlCt Oe4o-
gates. The plain and unmistakable SEN
timent OF the democracy of Indiana must
be represented at Chicago. 1t will be.
The delegates will be made up OF true
democrats and honorable men-friends of
GROVER CLEVELAND and friends of Isaac
p. GRAY. No man will be selected as a
delegate who is for Hill, or for any body
else except CLEVELAND or GRAY. Indiana
will for once go into a national demo-
cratic convention in such an attitude as
to count for something. She will go there
prepared to cooperate with the demo-
Gratis from other states in the nomina-
ton of the logical candidate; or, if
for any reason the convention shall reject
the logical candidate, then Indiana will be
in shape to make the best possible fight
for her own man. The ticket is going
to be either CLEVELAND and GRAY or
GRAY and somebody else, and in either
| event Indiana will, for the first time in a
generation, help to name it.
