James III. Eckels and Senator Bever-
idge to BE Heard This Week.
Two of the most important political meet
ings that will be held this campaign-im-
portant from a Republican point of view
are the Eckels meeting at English's Opera
House tonight and the meeting for Senator
Beverage at Tomlinson Hall tomorrow
night. The opera house meeting will be I'M
der the auspices of the Gold Democrats.
The meeting will be addressed by James
II. Eckels. who was controller Of the cur
rency under President Cleveland. He Is
known as an eloquent and forceful speaker,
and it is expected that a big audience Will
greet him.
The Gold Democrats are trying to pro-
cure another prominent speaker for this
city for a meeting before the close of the
campaign. An invitation has been extend
e. to General Bragg, Of Wisconsin, TO de-
liver an address here: 30 but t. 1t lis Is not posi-

row night Lawson NJ. Harvey, former
judge of the Superior Court, will preside
and will introduce Senator Beveridge.
There will be music by the Marion Glee
Club during the meeting. There will be no
attempt at a street parade, but Senator
Beveridge will be escorted from the Deni-
son Hotel to the hall by a company OF Col.
Clark's Rough Riders and the Marion
Marching Club. This will be Senator Bev-
eridge's first speech In Indianapolis this
campaign, and his friends look Tor an ova-
ton for him.
Secretary Elliott, of the Republican coun-
ty committee, said yesterday that there had
been a misunderstanding about the tickets
that were issued for the meeting. He says
these tickets were issued as invitations and
not particularly as admission tickets. No
one need have a ticket to get into the hall,
and those without tickets will be as well
come as those who have received them.
This afternoon at 2 u. m. Representative
Overstreet will deliver an address at
Traders Point, and at s o'clock tonight he
will speak at the O. p. Morton clubhouse
