LETTER FROM D. B. BENEDICT.
He Writes of Politics in the Hoosier State
as Observed by Visitor.
MARTINsvILLE, IND.

as observed by V1slJor.
MARTINSVILLE, IND.
F. H. HALL, Esq:-Will you please
forward me today's paper DAILY Nea0s)
and forward daily issues of the daily"
during the coming week. The politi-
cal sentiment here seems to be Nc
Kinley" although from enquiries find
that there are some silverites, but as it
is in Kenosha county sound money
voters are largely in the majority. /
saw one silver advocate who was posi-
tive that Wisconsin would give Bryan
80, 900 majority. l said to him he was
just So, 900 out of the way on his calcu-
lation, as Wisconsin would register for
sound money upon election day $4,000
and for Mckinley and prosperity.
Martinsville is place of about $500
to 1900 in habitants and is surrounded
by a fine section of farming lands.
Fruits of all kinds grow in this latitude
and are seen upon the streets IN abund-
ance. Nice peaches at 40c per bushel.
This is Saturday and market day
located in the center portion of the
city and occupies an entire block, sur
rounding the block are hitching places
for horses and teams and do not think
that there were less than $50 teams
around the block as [ passed by this
afternoon. | made enquiries as to what
was the occasion of so many teams,
and was quietly informed that it was
no special day and that the city had
two other places known as 6 hitching"
grounds where would be found as
many more. In walking about the
place | find many elegant residences
and as whole it is a nice, quiet little
city. Beautiful shade trees, shrubery,
&C., showing thrift, and reflects char
acter of the owners.
The exhibition of Mckinley picture
in the windows we're very frequently
noticed, and the residents with whom
it has been my privilege of becoming
acquainted, 6" recon" are a good class
of citizens, and politically are doing
a heap" or thinking about the issues
before the people.
The only attraction for strangers
seems to be the springs, that have be-
come in point of notoriety, in this sec
ton, like Waukesha, in our state. The
springs are located in the center Tor
nearly SOY of the city. Comfortable
homelike places, restful and pleasant
with all the comforts needed by those
seeking health or rest.
The water comes from an artesian
we'll and from it's taste think that the
Bristol springs in our county, have the
same properties with more magnesia in
solution, making the Bristol water
much softer. In using the baths here
no soap is used and upon inquiry find
that it could not be used in the water
while in the Bristol springs the use Of
soap in small quantities produces a
superabundance of suds.
did not think in seating myself at
the table to write you at this length
the primary object being to order
papers as I want to keep posted as to
current events at home. Wish | could
be with you on Tuesday at the rally.
Hope Kenosha county will turn out en-
masse and by show that we are alive to
questions before the people. | will ex-
tend this writing no further and will
say good night. Your friend
Sept. 10, '96. BENEDICT.
