Congressman Charles s. Hartman,
Senator Lee Mantle. Hon. f. ID. Mats
and Major Martin Maginnis. who are
numbered among the very ablest
speakers who have upheld the free sill

union. Mr.. Hartman closed his brill
liant campaign In the middle western
states by a great speech TO a large au-
dience at Battery d In this city this
evening. His remarks were received
by the widest enthusiasm and his
speech is regarded as one of the very
best made in Chicago during the whole
campaign. Mr.. Hartman arrived here
this morning from Duluth. where he
has been stumplng for the brilliant re-
publican. Charles A Towne.
Hon r. u. Mats Is one Of the most

there Is very little chance of any estl-

date for state auditor on the demo-

cred "a plan of the republicans to steal
the election in Lawrence county" The
republicans were disposed to ridicule
the story. and said that II anybody
was caught trying to steal the cleo
ton, no matter to whom he might be
about to try to deliver it, they would
join hands with the democrats in pros
ecuting him. The struggle in the Fifth

have all the congressman In the north,
