Had a Tin.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct 13.-Unless
there shall be radical change in pub
lie sentiment there will be no oppo-
sition to the proposed fight here be-
tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons. Mr..
Richardson, one of the principal back
ers of the Florida Athletic club, is re-
ported to have said that the new club
would not have embarked in this
scheme If there was any chance of
opposition by the governor or hostile
legislation at Tallahassee next spring.
so the opinion here is that the hack
ers of the club have been given an
inside" assurance that they have
nothing to fear from the legislature,

crowd of 300. and at Clayton 1000
people had gathered, among them
many members of the Seventh Indiana
(Gen. Harrison's old regiment). He
said:
my friends, these quiet autumn
days are good days for reflection; q
good time to think, as you walk over
the fields that you have titled, and as
you gather the harvest into your
barns. and as you sit by these Ameri-
can firesides. that, in spite of oil the
hardships of the times those firesides
are the happiest and best tn all the
world. Put in your time thinking. We
will get right on all these public ques-
lions IL our people will think. 1t is
prejudice; it is the fact that men don't
think, but allow their minds to be
warped by prejudice; allow catch-
phrases and denunciation of other
men to warp them from calm con-
sideration of public questions. Let
us all set before us this resolve, that
as citizens now, as when you were sol
diers during the war, our country's
honor and prosperity shall be first in
our affections and first in our efforts.
Let us see that nothing shall prevent
lis from acting as citizens for what
seems to us to be wise and good for
all our people and for the glory of the
old flag."
He spoke at number Of other places
and addressed an immense audience
at Evansville.
