FoRr WAYNE. ind. Oct 1a-"Go away
from home to learn the news" Seem g In
the Indianapolis papers that Fort Wayne
Republicans were reported as secretly
banding themselves together to knife the
national ticket. your correspondent to-day
interviewed Col. ID. y. Foster. of this city,
chairman of this. the Twelfth. district. He
was asked what he knew about the mat
ter.
Nothing he said, but this: The whole
story is a libel on Allen county Repub-
licans. They are not built that way. If
any Allen county Republicans desire to
vote against General Harrison they have
the sand to do so in an open. honorable
way. The sneaking. back-alIey methods
ascribed to them by q self-important In
dianspolis sorehead by the name of Ham
mer, who seems to be responsible for these
charges. are entirely foreign to our people.
Allen county Republicans strike ont from
the shoulder. straight In the face OF an
enemy. They never conceal themselves IN
dark alleys that they may sneak out and
knife their foe in the back"
lis it likely, Col. Foster, that the presi-
Dental ticket will not secure the full sup
port of the Republican party IN this coun-
ty.n
There is not any serious detection.
Fort Wayne Republicans can do some Wig
orous kicking when they think the occas-
ion demands it. They did so In 1888. but
when the day of election came. they went
to the polls and:did their full duty. They
will do so again this year. A brave man
knows how to accept defeat. He never in
war or In politics degenerates into q guer-
rilla, when the cause for which he fought
is lost. Quite a good many Republicans of
fhfa erfv nraferran some other nomination
han that made for president at Minneapo-
lis. They went there and said so. said SO
very loudly. They were beaten and came
home disappointed. But they only asked
time to catch their breath a little, and
were soon wheeling into line. As the CAM
paign has progressed they have become in
terested in the vital Importance OF the
issues involved. Personal preferences and
disappointments have been forgotten or
cast aside. In my opinion there Will be
very few Fort Wayne Republicans who
will rank their personal animositles above
party principles on the Sth of next Noyem-
Der. No man ever looks back with pride
on q vote dictated by such motives. 1t
would ever be q source or annoyance and
regret to him. So set it down as certain
that the Indianapolis story is but the nut
terings of q mind politically diseased"
Unclo Dick tn Change with Mckinley.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 18.-Colonel r.
W. Thompson has consented to 60 TO Ohio
to make three campaign speeches. He had
heretofore declined to accept any assign
ment for speeches, owing to his advanced
years, besides the one he made here at his
home, opening the campaign. and one at
Bedford, Ind, and one more here in reply
to Senator Voorhees,. The one at Bedford
he could not resist, as he received letters
rom several voters who voted for him
there for the Legislature In 1882, asking
him to make q speech at his early Indiana
home. Last night, however, he consented
to 90 to Ohio. Mr.. w. +. Loveland and Mr..
O'Hars. of Peru, came here to intercede
with him. az they had received q promise
from the Ohio State committee that Gov.
Mckinley would be permitted TO speak at
the big Peru meeting il Colonel Thompson
would speak in Ohio. He Will probably
make three speeches in the western
part Of the State.
:. The local Republican campaign managers
expect q great crowd here next Wednesday
to hear Mckinley and have, according y.
secured q big circus tent, under which not
less than ten thousand people can be seated.
1t was secured ut Cincinnati and expert
enced Will come here TO put &c up
and arrange the seats. Governor Mckinley
is 10 be here in the evening and efforts are
being made TO get Mr.. Whitelaw Reid.
Secretary Charles Foster or Secretary Rusk
for an afternoon meeting. Excursions will
be run on all the roads. The Republicans
of VIgo county so far rave made this the
banner county in the respect of organiza.
tion and club turD-outs in professions. 1t
was the first county IN the State TO conf
plete its township club organization and
Vigo Republicans expect to maintain Its
pre-eminence by a mammoth demonstra-
tion on Mckinley day.

GREESCAsTLE, Ind, Oct. 1s.-Captain
John Worrell began the canvass of Putnam
county this week, speaking at Roachdale
yesterday afternoon. and at BainbrIdge
last night. It 80 happened that the Demo-
cratic candidate for the State Senate.
James Nj. Seller. of Montgomery county.
had q meeting advertised for the same
hour at cambridge. and 1t was decided by
the friends of the two candidates to con-
Vert the TWO meetings into one. A joint
debate was agreed on. Mr.. Seller to open it
In q speech of fifty minutes. Capt. Worrell
TO have sixty-tive minutes for his reply,
and MIR. Selle- to close in fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Seller mounted his tariff hobby. as
usual. having served notice on his friends
that he would seek an eis ction to the Sem
ate on that Issue. and that alone. Capt.
Worrell proved himself more than a match
for the would-be Senator. His array of
facts and figures touching the tions Of
the Mckinley bill was a complete refuta-
tion of the sopbistries advanced by the
free-trader. He also ventilated the Demo-
cratic legislative record. TO the inter dis
comtture of Mr.. Seller. who could make no
defense In his reply. An incident that
SERVED TO demonstrate the desperate
straits of the opposition in this
county deserves 10 be mentioned IN
this connection. The Republicans of this
city chartered special train TO Bainbridge
and advertised il for the accommodation
of their friends exclusively. This arrange
ment was understood by every body. but IL
did not deter the Democratic leaders from
organizing n gen of toughs with the
evowed object of capturing the train and
deterring the moro orderly element from
embarking on il. The scheme failed of its
object. and returned plague it's inventors.
Violence was resorted to by the hoodlums.
and one member OF the drum CORPS was
struck on the head with q sto ne. though
not seriously injured.
