CITY, Ind, Oct. 17.-While
a big delegation was en- route to this city
last Wednesday to attend the Republican
town showed his true colors. From the
window he displayed a red flag as the Re
publican parade passed by. This is the
first case so far in Blackford county where
the emblem of the reds, mob law and
crime has been displayed.
DR.. I. |. Bowles, of Muncie, addressed
the Bryan Club of this city at the opera
house Friday evening, and it is
that he made no less than thirty Republic
an votes. His assertions were so prepos-
ferrous that they were the laughing stock
even of some of the Democrats. During his
rabid ~haran9ue he said: The Republican
party has filled the prisons, insane asy-
lums and other institutions of the United
States, and the crime of '73' has caused
more crimes and taken more lives than the
war of the rebellion" Even the Democrats
are ashamed of the speech, and his raw
ing and ranting were spoken OF as being
pitiful, coming from a man in his senses.

in the Republicans putting two candidates
IN the field from the district OF Jefferson,
Clark and Floyd counties, was cleared
away tonight by both candidates with
drawing and Gen. Jasper Packard being Sc
Iected to run for the office. The agreement
is warmly Endorsed by all factions, and
will result in a sweeping victory for Gen.
Packard. After the Madison convention
the party found itself with two tickets,
Mr.. Fairbanks's friends having nominated
v. K. Officer, of Jefferson county, and Col.
W. r. Mckeen's friends having nominated
Or, j. NJ. Reynolds, of Clark county.
Neither faction was willing to asknowl-
edge the other right, and Captain Gowdy,
who was down here yesterday, prevailed
on both parties to throw aside their con-
tenttons and accept a new man. General
Packard, who is now campaigning in Kan
sas, vas recognized as a fair man by
both factions, and he was chosen. The Sc
lection. pleases the friends CT both candi-
dates for United States Senator, and heals
an ugly sore here. With the great enthu-
siasm felt here for the Mckinley ticket it
is expected to sweep the district. Mr..
PACKARD IS to return home at once and
help in the campaign.
