Hunts Big Meeting at Newburg.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEWBURG, Ind, Oct. 20.-Thi little city
witnessed Saturday night one of the most
successful political demonstrations of the
campaign. Hon. Union B. Hunt, of VIM
chester, had been billed to speak for the
Republicans, and, thinking they could di-
vide the crowd, the Popocrats appointed a
meeting for the same time, but now they
wish they hadn't. AT no time did their
speaker have more than seventy-five peo-
pie, while Mr.. Hunt was listened to by a
thousand, and that many more went home,
being unable to gain admittance to the hall.
The Republj ans had a torchlight process
sion with 400 horsemen, decorated wagons
and a large number of bicyclists, also bear
ing torches, in line. Mr.. Hunt spoke for
two hours and fifteen minutes and was
cheered to the echo, especially when he de-
the attacks made on him by ex-Congress-
man A. FL. Taylor. Mr.. Hemenway lives
in this (Warrick) county. and the eulogy of
him was highly appreciated. Mr.. Hunt has
been making a series of speeches in this
county, and people who had heard him be-
fore came twenty miles to hear him at this
place. AT the close of the meeting the
audience, which was carried away with Mr..
Hunts logic and e~loquence, gave him three
rousing cheers, and also gave three cheers

Ridpath Makes a Poor Effort.

Special t.. the Indianapolis Journal.
PLAINFIELD, Ind, Oct. 20.-John Clark
Ridpath, Popocratic candidate for Con-
gress in the Fifth district, spoke to a good
audience here last night. He was handi-
capped from the fact that only a handful
of fr~ee-silverites were present, while the
rest of his audience was made up of Re-
publicans and women, who came out to
hear him through curiosity. True to the
instincts of the party with which the
speaker is training this year, the burden
of his talk was against the "Shylocks of
Lombard and Wall streets, who have their
heels on the neck of the farmers and are
crushing them deeper and deeper into the
dregs of poverty" He paid his respects
to the great crime of 1873 and it's culmi-
nation in 1898. He claimed that to this
great crime was due the low prices of
farm products. He failed to say anything
about the jump of four cents q bushel. in
the price of wheat during the day, for he
knew IL he touched on the inexorable law
of supply end demand all his argument in
favor of free coinage of silver would be
knocked out. The speaker did not change
the mind Of a single Republican present.
but, on the contrary, they went away more
deeply grounded in their adherence to Re-
publican PRINCIPLES.
