AGGRESSIVE SMITH PARTY.
1t Read Its "Piece" Three Times Last
Night.

Candidate C. f. Smith was at it again
last evening and read his piece" three
times, once at the yellow Bridge" a sec
ond time at Blake and North streets and
again at old Fourth and Senate avenue.
The same methods of the night before were
repeated. First quartet of colored boys
appeared in Mr. Smiths trap. behind pair
of magnificent bays, and collected crowd.
Then Candidate Smith appeared in a surrey
behind an equally magnificent pair of
blacks, and a colored man drove spawned
horse to spring wagon. Mr. Smith
climbed into the wagon and read the same
speech he used the night before. with a
paragraph intefpolated appealing to the coz
ored men At the Yellow Bridge he had a
crowd of about 800, and though it was not
enthusiastic, he was given a very respect
ful hearing and was not annoyed by any
Interruptions.
After ne had finished reading, Mr.. Smith
again got into his carriage and was driven
TO Blake and North streets where he was
greeted by a little knot of twenty or thirty
people. He bravely read his composition
through. however. AT Fourth and Senate
avenue the crowd was not much larger and
the reading of the essay went off without
incident.

One Night Not Enough.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Journal has a deserved reputation
for moderation in its statements, perhaps 1
should say exactness in dealing with facts.
1 grieve, therefore, to see it fall into such
an exaggeration as this:
"R. r. Shiel was one of the speakers and
took about one-half hour booming the meet
ing for which he has hired Masonic Hall to-
morrow night, and where he intends to
speak till he gets tired"
The idea that Mr. s;hie will speak any
where until he gets tired is startling, in
deed, but that he can do it in one night is
statement in the interest of TRUTH.

The ensuing week seemed to CASTOR
Slater the longest in his life, and each
day he found himself checking off so
much time as gone, counting so much
yet to come, before the arrival of the
only man he cared to play. He was
sick of, the easy victories against peo-
pie who only vaguely understood the
science of the game Colonel Walton
had shown him what a player was.
and he would rather be beaten every
time by that man than win with sick
ening monotony at the club.
Often while studying a particularly
abstruse problem he found his thoughts
wandering after his friend, and Colonel
Walton, working at his miniature lathe
in his apartments in London, with a
series of delicate looking tools and
files to his hand, hummed to himself
and continually thought Of his dear
friend CASTOR.
AT last, to the infinite satisfaction of
both, once more CASTOR and Colonel
Walton faced one another across the
mimic battlefield.
Slater asked after his friends: the
Colonel was sorry, but they were de-
tanned in London, and dBsired to be
remembered and excused.
The Colonel that night was not quite
up to his usual fern; perhaps the dis
fractions of London had unsettled him.
or perhaps he was thinking that things
might, after all, not go quite we'll He
believed they would, he saw no possi-
bility of any hitch, but yet when it
came to the critical moment it was try
ing-trying even to the most expert
enced, and doubly so when his part was
physical inaction; when it was pure
strategy and brain power, while to
other hands fell the whole activity He

No, they Will not firmly replied
the Colonel in tone that carried con-
vietion to the minds of the others.
Now, you two think out some plan to
get the keys from CASTOR.
''Oll, Well drug him.

and there's a sister, too, living with
them, and very pretty girls they are.
Now, hook here. CASTOR and will, of

And the Colonel jauntily settling his
shiny hat a shade on one side, strolled
toward the town.

AS they entered the drawing-room,

observed that his present to the mana

cabinet in the corner.
An hour was passed in conventional
English conversation, and then CASTOR
Slater, with an apology to his new
guests suggested to the Colonel that
they might have just one game if his
friends would excuse him and entertain
the ladies.
Colonel Walton protested that his
companions were quite aware of his
fondness for the game and would be un-
willing to deny them the pleasure. while
those gentlemen added their words to
his, and to prove their veracity. imme-
