HON. JOHN ". LEWIS.
A Large Crowd to Hear the Repub
lican Candidate for Congress
at Hardinsburg.

A large crowd filled the court room at
Hardinsburg Monday to hear the Hon
John w. Lewis, the Republican candid
for Congress. There were great num-
Der Of Democrats in the audience as well
as Republicans and had the Democrats
staid away the crowd wonld have been
nothing like so large as it was. But we
do the Republicans justice to say that
there party was we'll represented, there
being number of leading men OF that
party present from other points than
HardinsbuTg. Mr.. Lewis had published
his appointment some time in advance,
and as many of his supporters rallied TO
hear him as could make il convenient to
get out. We doubt, however, after all of
the speakers two hours talk, if he sue
ceeded in making a single vote, or chang
ing the opinion of single man. His
speech was about such one as the
people look for. He didn't advance
any new ideas particularly. lie jumped
on to the Democrats of course and haul
ed them over the Goals for doing nothing
in Congress, as he claimed. He had a
good deal to say about the tariff and de-
nounced the bill passed by the Demo-
Gratis as being more hurtful to the people
than the Mckinley act He said he be-
lieved he would be elected in November,
but the News couldn't find many others
that were of that opinion. Mr.. Lewis
had the whole day to himself and there
was no one present to interpose an OBJ
lection to anything he said. By this
means he may have thought to gain
point over his opponent, but people who
think for themselves will not likely be
carried away by any of the speakers
catchy points. We all know that the
financial panic we have just passed
through has not been from the fault of
the Democrats altogether. Had Mr..
Montgomery, his opponent, been present
he would have doubtless thrown some
additional light on the subject. But Mr..
Montgomery was not present. In this
Mr.. Lewis may have hoped to gaiu a
point, but We don't believe he did. Mr..
Montgomery will be here before the
canvass closes to speak and he will give
it TO the boys straight. His opponent is
a very good stump orator, but he will not
get enough votes in November to elect
him to Congress.
