Compared with two years ago the inn
proved trade conditions are so apparent
that none can deny the betterment. On
every hand we find the people prontably
employed where formerly they were forced
to ldleness; every branch of human indus
try is responsive to the declaration made
at the polls two years ago in favor of
honest money. and it requires not the aid
of prophetic ken to- see that but for the
menace and threat to cautious capital i'm
piled by the mere existence OF a free-silver
party of any considerable strength we
would now be enjoying such tide of pros
perity as was never known before. In view
OF these facts the coming election is of vast
Importance to us as commercial men. A
Democratic Legislature means the return
to the United States Senate of a free-slver
man from this State
"A Democratic Congress means a revival
of free siverism and another campaign as
campaign of 1896. 1t is because of these
things ard the mutual character of our in
terests that we feel at liberty to- address
you and urge upon you the Importance of
prearranging your trips so that you may
be at home to vote on election day. and
that you will in the meanW lie give us your
money, not as political partisans, but as

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 2S.-The Rose
Polytechnic sophomores and freshmen have
had two engagements, the second one last
night in which some of the sophomores
were roughly handled and for which they
mold the seniors accountable, because. as
they say. the fourth year men treacherously
induced them to meet more than their own
number of freshmen. A few nights ago the
sophcmores visited the rooms of number
of freshmen and after giving them a cold
bath put them to bed. first removing all
the bedding. and fastening the victims to
the wire mattress. Last night the freshmen
captured three sophomores and had them
at the depot, for what purpose is not
known. when six other sophomores came
TO their rescue having been told that there
were only six freshmen in the party. Instead
they met more than double their own num-
Der and were roughly handled.
