meetings ever held in southern Indiana.
1t was the intention of the Mckinley Club
to have a barbecue later in the campaign.
but as ii was impossible to secure speakers
or national reputation for a late meeting
ii was finally decided to have the meeting
on the 18th. The committee which visited
the State at indianapolis last
night and other members of the commit
tee have also secured a rate on all rail-
roads entering this city which will insure a
large crowd at the meeting. This Gibraltar
OF Democracy will, next November. get the
worst shaking up it has had for many
years. The Democratic party is greatly
divided on the money question in this
of the leading Democrats who are out
spoken for sound money and who will not
support the Chicago platform or its candi-
dates AT Crothersville, this county, there
are eight leading Democrats who have re-
nounced the Popocratic ticket. Crothers-
vile is the home of DR.. A. May, who is
a member Of the pension board which
meets In this city and who has also been
acting in the capacity of chairman of the
sound-money Democrats Of the Fourth
district. The convention for the selection
of delegates to the National Democratic
convention met in North Vernon to-day
and a number of the sound-money Demo-
Gratis of this city attended.

BLUFFTON, Ind, Aug. 25-Hon. John L.
Griffiths. OF Indianapolis. delivered a very
able and eloquent speech in Curry's Opera
House last night. Many people were turned
away. The audience consisted mostly of
farmers and laboring men. Never was
there a more enthusiastic meeting held in
Wells county. Mr.. Grif1iths is a great ia
vorite in this locality. The reports in the
Democratic papers of free-silver recruits
in this county are false. Republicans are
making great gains in all sections, and it
is expected TO change the political COM
piexion of this county TO sound money,
protection and reciprocity.
Michael DALEY, the oil man, denies MAX
ing any sucn statements as are attributed
to him in the indianapolis Sentinel. The
leading oil men almost without exception.
although many of them were heretofore
Democrats, have declared themselves in ia
VOr of sound money n Will vote for Nc
Kinley. Judge L.. II. Wilson comes out in
the Republican party, and viii support Nc
Kinley. He. never authorized the publica-
ton of the Sentineis report. He states
that he is not in fun accord with either
platform on the money issue, but has orig
inal views on the question and has had for
many years. He says that he does not con-
slider the money uueStiOn the Daramoun
issue i'm the campaign.
William Latamore. also mentioned in the
article. never was a Republican, but was
always an advocate Of the various political
fads from greenbackism to populism. AS
the Democrats fused with the Popuiists on
the congressional ticket L. IS expected the
majority of Populists Will support Bryan.
George NeVins, the farmer of Jefferson
township, was never considered in this
county as a reliable Republican. He has q
fiuctuating turn of mind and his opinions
and arguments have little or no weight
among his neighbors. His township shows
great gains for the Republicans. John
Studabaker. the banker mentioned. has not

srecial to the indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 26.-Hon.
James A. Mount, Republican candidate for
Governor, is doing much good work this
week in the First district. on Tuesday he
spoke to an agricultural gathering at Fort
Branch. and as is the case at all points
where he appears, large crowds of farmers,
as well as others. were present. Mr..
Mount is a farmer himself and has a way
of ingratiatinS himself into the good graces
of the grangers. To-day he spoke to a
great crowd at Boonville, Warrick county,,
and ii was noticed that a large portion of
his audience was composed of countrymen.
The speaker gave considerable attention to
the money question and made his argu-
ments so lucid that his audience was sent
away deeply impressed with the speech.
Tomorrow Mr.. Mount will speak at Chris
ney, spencer county, and as the speech
has been advertised all over the county
there is reason TO believe he Will have q
large audience.
seven weeks said Mr.. Mount to-day, and
during that time have spoken nearly every
day and sometimes twice a day. L am
my voice failing me-"
What is the general outlook from your
point OF Observations, asked the reporter.
The Republicans, / believe, are in eX-
cellent shape. The State is we'll organized,
although IL is yet early in the campaign.
Much literature is reaching the voters.
The doubtful ones are reading and study
ing the issues, with the result that the
Sound-money sentiment is growing.
You see, the silver people have been
spreading their literature for a year or
more past and of course hau the advantage
OF us in the beginning, but after the Re-
publicans got into action and have begun
TO present the other side a change in senti-
ment is found in all directions. With the
free-silver fallacy laid bare on one hand
and a divided Democracy on the other,
there is in my mind no doubt of the re-
suit in November. / look for a great Re-
publican victory.
BY the way, I find that many people
are awaiting General Harrison's New York
speech with much interest. The general
opinion is that it will be one of the most
important and convincing speeches of the
entire campaign"

Sentiners Mitchell correspondent carries off
the palm. In Tuesdays Journal appeared
an article stating that Joe A. Barton, a

worried the SentineI's representative that
his better judgment gave way TO wild as
sertions and in to-day'S Sentinel appeared
an article vigorously denying that Mr..
Burton had been a Democrat for six years.

sively who is the base fabricator" i'm this

TO the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
Some ''rascally Republican" from this
city has again been imposing his fairy
tales on the innocent and unsophisticated
Sentinel. The facts are that after several
days hard work and coaxing forty-four
names were secured for a Bryan and Sewall
club. The president is a new man here

dent, Jacob Farlow. is Il lifelong Demo-
crat. and the marshal. ]. 7. Cornelius. is a
PoDuiist and has not voted the Republican
ticket for eight or ten years. So far as
known no Republican has Joined the club.
Prof. John w. Denny, county superin-
tendent, was a Democrat until ne was
elected to Office, and is not making any
speeches for free silver or any one else.
There are more sound-money Democrats
than free-siiver Republicans in this county.
and the Republicans were never better or
ganized than now. having twenty clubs,
