the Fourth District.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
VERSAILLES, Ind. Oct 22-Major
Charles Lee, the Republican nominee for
Congress. and Hon. w. A. Guthrie. nominee
for joint senator, were here yesterday and
to-day Major Lee made speech last night
I'm the courthouse and aroused the patriot
ism of all present, regardless of party. He
said in the course of his address that the
Republican party had redeemed every
promise made to the people, had stood up
Tor a protective tariff, had favored reci-
procity and been true friend to the silver
interests, cut of all which had grown our
great national prosperity. He referred to
the magnificent success of the present adj
ministration and to the brilliant victories
of the army and navy in the recent war
with Spain.. He also complimented the Dem
ocrats as well as the Republicans of In
diana for their patriotism. and relying upon
this he was confident Indiana would give
majority of $4,000 in support of the admins
tfation of President Mckinley and send
Republican congressman from this district.
In regard to the results of the. war with
Spain he said: II am in favor of retaining
every foot of soil for which drop of Amer
lean blood has been she'd
The candidacy of Major Lee has been
well received in this county and the ma
jorty will no doubt be largely increased
over that of last year, when he carried this
county over Griffith The outlook in the
county for the success of the entire Repub-
lican ticket is very bright.
