able exception was taken to the lect-
ure of Prof. Thompson on the 'Rise

in defense of Prof. Thompson that he
only related historical facts and COM
mented upon them which was abb
solutely necessary in order to get up
his lecture, and he is to be commend
ed for his efforts. Did any one take
exception to the dance week before

cause young lady had the misfort-

THE NINTH DISTRICT.
The Campaign Opened by Brilliant
Orators.

LAFAYETTE, Sept. 2S.-Speclal.-The
congressional campaign in the Ninth dis
trict has not opened with any marked
vehemence as yet.
All the candidates have been named,
but have not begun to stir in very
pronounced manner. j. Frank Hanley
of Williamsport, Warren county, ex-
state senator. is the republican nominee.
and Alonzo G.. Burkhart of Upton was
supposed to be the democratic nominee
The republicans opened the campaign
here on the evening OF the 18th instant,
with Congressman Joseph G.. Cannon as
the oratorlcal attraction and the democrats
on the afternoon Of the 22d with the Hon.
Charles l.. Jewett Of New Albany. At the
meeting Of the popullsts last Saturday
10 nominate a county ticket, Alonzo c.
congress In this district, was present and
delivered a brief address, in which he
declared that he is a populist and not a
democrat. This declaration has set the
democrats TO thinking and considerable
opposition to Mr.. Burkharts candidacy
has arisen. Many democrats are op-
posed to a coalition and declare that
they will not vote for Mr., Burkhart If
he is permitted to remain upon the
ticket.
Several democratic papers in the dis
trict have already entered protest
against Mr. Burkhart's candidacy.

ever hopeful present All this time the

and now they are a good deal disgruntled
because they have been turned down for
this inflated v9nIth from Troy, y, Y, who
only two years ago fioated into South
Bend and hung out his single 10 practice
law. IL is not in evidence that he ever
had any business besides loaning money
that would make him useful in congress
or in any other place where facts and
figures are in demand.
The republicans have nominated Lem
uel Royse of Warsaw. His chief dis
tlnction is that he was never heard of
before. and il is strongly suspected that
after the ides Of November he will never
be heard from again. He is a lawyer by
profession and is built on an intellectual
model in full keeping with his gauge. hav-
ing the reputation OF being a partisan.
For some time he has been industriously
stumping the district, but the only prairie
fires discernible are in the columns of the
local republican papers. and they are not
Of a devastating character.
None of the candidates named have as
YET canvassed this end of the district, but
R0yse expects to spend a week in this
county in the near future.

There has been a remarkable rise in dem

There is a distinct revival IF business

One reason for the great rise I'm demo-

THE SIXTH DISTRICT.
Congressman johnson VIII Make "A
Fight i'm His own Behalf

RICHMOND. Sept. 23.-Specisl As
far as the Sixth congressional district Is
concerned all is as yet quiet, in a pollti-
cal way. All four of the parties. the
democrats excepted. have put congress
sional candidates in the field. but as yet
have waged no war for votes.
The republican nominee, Henry L.
Johnson, who will conhne his work
wholly TO his own district He opened
the campaign here last Tuesday evening
with a speech, and he expects 10 make
two in Union county, two or three in
Fdyette county and three or four in each
Of the other counties Of the district.
Mr.. JOhnson's great argument for voting
the republican ticket is that the country
was prosperous when the Cleveland adj
ministration came into power. and to
that administration is due all the ills
that the country has suffered. He makes
an appeal 10 intelligent voters for their
support on an argument OF no more
weight than the above, but IL is not be-
lieved that the republicans can increase
their majority in the "old burnt" dis
trict.
James w. Henderson, late democratic
candidate for mayor Of Richmond, said
to Sentinel representative a few days
ago: II believe that the Sixth district
democrats will hold their own better in
a political way this fall than any other
district in the state. Some votes may be
lost through dissatisfaction, but they will
not go to the republicans; one Of the
other parties will get them"
Congressman Johnson has been invited
by the national republican committee 70
take part in the New York and Illinois
campaigns, and n Is also in dema nd
over this state, but has declined all in
vitations TO speak outside his own dis
trict one thing more than all others,

Mr. Johnson is his career regarding the
question Of free silver. He was de-
nounced in the resolutions passed by ahe
popuists' congressional convention for
his standing on that point. and the cry
that he broke his promises may have
considerable weight.
The popuhsts have put into the field
Thompson Harris. a farmer Of Fountain
city. He IS an old man, with a limited
education, very little knowledge of par
llamentary law, and no knowledge what
ever OF public life His only quanhca-
tons are that he is willing 70 work and

pect TO poll the largest vote in the Sixth
district they have ever pooled, as they
believe their ranks will be reinforced by
deserters from both the old parties.
They are planning to hold meetings in
every town in the district. but have nor
- yet begun their work. One attempt
20 hold meeting at Liberty ended in a
failure because a place TO speak could
not be obtained. and the speakers re-
turned here much chlgrlned.
The prohibltionlst candidate Is the Rev.
Robert B. Lindsay OF Delaware county.
VINO promises to make the strong ST

THE SEVENTH DISTRICT.
A Thorough and Systematic Canvass
VIII Ia Made.

In the Seventh congressional district the
campaign is being carried on IN a spirited
manner. Mr.. Henry had couple weeks
advantage Of Mr.. Bynum and put In the
time for all II was worth in Marion cOun-
ty. There was however, something about
his meetings that attracted the attention.
Of republicans and democrats like. There
was a lack Of enthusiasm which has been
credited to several causes. Some say that
1t was because Of the fact that Mr. Henry
had made the canvass two years ago and
that the people had not been fayorably
enough impressed with him TO turn out
during this campaign. Others credit the
trouble with the Marion county repub-
lean committee. They say the committee
Is 50 wrapped up in the work Of county
politics that il Is willing To let the con-
gress.oual case go by default rather than
10 spare any Of its energy.
At any rate the meetings were not
what Mr. Henry had expected them to
be and there Is not, as a consequence, the
feeling Of confidence that prevailed some
weeks ago In fact, with every day that
passes there departs much Of this feeling,
though the republicans still make bold
assertions regarding the result Of the No
vembcr election.
During the time that Mr. Bynum has
devoted to the canvass of the district
he has covered a good deal OF territory
in Madison county. The record which he
made in congress has made him a host
Of friends among the farmers and he
found many of them at the meetings
which he addressed. IL found on all
sides that the reading people were ready
u indorse his actions and the general re-
suits II the last session II congress. 1t

who had an object in col0ring everything
10 suit their own notions that there was
any honest condemnation. This class

simply needed the proper Information to
set them right.
The campaign in the district is just
now ge- mig warm. both candidates being
ready to make the most thorough and
systematic canvass yet made. Both can
didates will be engaged every day until
the election is over Indiana polls will
