Marion Club at Seymour.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
SEYMOUR, Ind, Sept. 12-The Marion
Club. of indianapolis, arrived here in

part in the big Republican rally. 1t was
the finest looking organization in the city
although in numbers it was beaten by sew
eral. The white duck trousers and dark
coats of the boys presented a fine appear
ance, and soon they arrived they
became the most popular people in the
city. 1t is a club that will long be re-
membered by the people of Seymour for it
added much to the pleasure of the day.
To it was assigned the post of honor in all
the days exercises. The pleasant duty of
acting escort to Senator ThurSton fell
to its lot.
The members came down to have good
time, and they did their part to make the
people here enjoy the day. A few of their
number composed glee club, which fur

PUNTENNEY WILL STICK.
The Demo-POpuifst Scheme to With
draw Him May FEil.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. 12.-It looks now
as if it were not going to be so easy d
matter for the Democrats and Populists
of this Congressional district to get George
H. Puntenney out of the race for Con-
gress as they had anticipated. The dis
trict committee decided to withdraw his
name, but in spite of all the announce
ments made by leading Populists and
Democrats Puntenney is still in the race
and his name will be on the ticket. The
convention that nominated Puntenney was
held at Connersville, and David Mckee,
of that place and Thomas j. Newkirk, of
this city, were made chairman and secre-
tary respectively. Both of these gentle
men are warm personal friends of Pun
tenney and they have all along been en-
phatically opposed to the attempt to have
him withdraw in favor of Robinson the
Populist. The certificates of nomination
have been signed by Chairman Mckee,
and this afternoon they were received by
Mr. Newkirk. When the signature of the
latter is attached and the certificates are
sent to the clerks of the various counties
in the district, in accordance with law,
the name of Puntenney will have to go
on the regular ticket next November.
Mr. Newkirl said this afternoon that the
district committee had simply forced Pun
tenney's withdrawal, and the gentleman
himself was still a candidate. Mr.. New
kirk added: Il have these certificates in
my possession and will sign them. They
will be sent to the various counties in the
district and Puntenney's name will so

AS the strains of "Old Kentucky Home"
were dying out Colonel Fellows arose to
address the gathering and to notify Gen
eral Buckner. His effort was expected to
be the oratorical treat of the evening, and
his auditors were not disappointed. Colonel
Fellows said in part:

not deny that the convention which as
sembled at Chicago had the right If they
chose to exercise it to declare Democratic
principles. We simply content ourselves by
asserting that they refused to perform
their duty which was in their power to
perform. (Applause.)
Democracy is something more than a

RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. ia Republic
an meeting was held at HageTstown last
night that was rouser. Between 1000
and 1000 people were there to listen to
Representative James Z. Watson, who is

up from this city, consisting of four
coaches and with the delegation taken on
at Greensboro was filled. The Hon. E.
b. Reynolds was the chairman of the
meeting and when he introduced Mr..
Watson to the audience there was a ire
mendous outburst of enthusiasm. Mr.
Watson has been speaking almost con-
stantly since the beginning of the cam

10 his voice. The audience, however, gave
him their undivided attention, while he. for
the space of hour and a half, discussed
the issues of the campaign in a thoroughly
logical and convincing way lie devoted
most of his time to the currency and tar

the other planks in the Chicago platform
The close of his speech was the signal
for another outburst of applause.

in America are not perfect women in the
sense of being perfectly healthy They are
rot perfectly equipped for the performance

Their training has made them feel that il is

The doctors are much to blame for this
because when treating the diseases pecu-

last evening in obtaining brief
speech from Senator John NJ

ways on the lookout for good things for the
club, attended the barbecue at Seymour
yesterday where Senator Thurston spoke,
ana rode home with him on the Marion
Club train. He told him of the travelling
mems club and explained that many of
them would be deprived of the pleasure of
hearing him at TornlinSon Hall Monday
night, on account of leaving Monday morn
ing On their trips. He therefore begged
that ne would make them q talk, if only
for a few minutes, and Senator Thurston
consented.
No notice of course, could be given of the
event, but Representative Oyerstreet was
billed to speak before the club, and the
spacious hall was crowded to the doors
Mr.. Overstreet made very able and force
full speech, in which he dwelt at some
length upon the incendiary nature of Bry-
ans speeches and efforts 10 array class

down.
