CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind, Oct. D.-Hon.
G. w. Faris. Republican candidate for
Congress in the Eighth district, spoke here
this afternoon. This was the end Of his
canvass in Montgomery county. where he
has been for a week. He has had splendid
success at every point and his remarks
have been well received. He has spoken
at Waveland. Ladoga, Mace. Bethel Church,
Darlington, Linden. waynetown and Ala
mo. This afternoon Mr.. Faris was es-
corted by the Morton Club to Music Hall,
where he was listened to by a large crowd.
A. b. Anderson acted as chairman. Mr..
Faris dwelt mainly on the tariff policy
of the Democratic party and how it has
affected the industries of the country. He
answered several statements of L. V. Brook
shire. Brookshire said that he believed in
the free Importation of all crude MATERIAL"
and also said that no country in the world
was so profuse in crude material as ours"
Mr.. Faris wanted to know If this country
were SO profuse in crude material why does
he demand the free importation Of it?
Another Brookshire argument was that the
Italian laborer was paid more in proportion
to his production than the laborers of our
country. The Italian labor received N.20
to the Americans $3.50 In working the same
length of time. The speech of Mr.. Faris
was very logical, and his reference to "$1.25
wheat" was apply told by an Illustration
about the farmer who had carried a
transparency in the Democratic procession
in 1892. The man this year had presented it
to a Republican club, and had written on a
slip of paper and tackled under the words:
Vote for Cleveland and get SIS wheat"
these words: "Seventy-five per cent. of
the above is a - lie"
At the close of Mr.. Faris's address Mr..
Moore, the Republican candidate for joint
Representative for Montgomery, Putnam
and Clay counties was introduced. He
said that Secretary of State Myers was
going around telling that since the new tax
law had been passed the Democrats had
paid 81, I10,0O0 of State debt. He said that
$780, 600 had been received from the gov
eminent as a return of the wal tax, and
of this $4,000 had been paid on the debt
and $4,000 sunk in the general pile. Then,
to reach the sum total, there was a "Dem-
ocratic promise to pay 5000 900 in November
and February" He also referred to his
opponent, Mr.. Williamson, who was once
a Democrat, then a Republican, and now
a Democrat again, as equal TO the story
stumbling and falling down. The minister
had traded horses, and the two men were
riding along together on their new animals.
minister's former horse tumbled and
came near falling down, and the man
asked if the horse did this often. The
minister said no, as before he had always
fallen down. Directly the horse stumbled,
fell down, turned a SomerSault and got
up and ran back. The new owner started
after him, and the minister said: Hold
on. he will not go thirty yards until he
will again go through a like performance
and come back headed this way"
