Enthusiasm at Terre Haute.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Oct. 3O.-The Re
publicans have held some good meetings
here during this campaign, but none that
was more satisfactory than the one to-
night addressed by Nelson Crews, a col
ored attorney of Kansas City. There was
a big parade-one of the largest of the
year-in which all the local and county
clubs took part. The wigwam was crowded
and for more than an hour Mr.. Crews had
both white and colored auditors cheering
and shouting words of agreement with his
statements. The Democrats have been
claiming that the colored vote of Terre
Haute would be divided, but to-night's
meeting removed any doubt Republicans
may have had regarding it.
At Terre Haute-The Republicans held a
big meeting Monday night. which was ad-
dressed by James S. Barcus. Tuesday
night Nelson C. Crews, the colored orator
of Missouri was the speaker at big
demonstration, and Thursday night j.

men will have the wigwam Saturday even
ing and will have a big parade preceding

that is fair crowd, il was not half so
large as the Democrats expected after the
very great effort put forth. and by no
means such a crowd as the oid-time De-
mocracy of Jackson could get out in Jason
Browns day.
At Columbus-The Stevenson rally and
demonstration developed a fair crowd and
a moderate amount OF enthusiasm Mr..
Stevenson appeared to be i'll or fatigued,
and after speaking only a few minutes
was escorted TO his hotel. The night dem
onstration was more elaborate, and as over
600 Republicans had left town for the Ed

Democratic enthusiasm was greater.

Candidate HOuck, Eleventh. District,
Thinks HIS Case Hopeless.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, Oct. 30.-W. J. Houck.
Democratic congressional candidate in this
district. has wound up his canvass except
for few minor meetings appointed for
Grant county. Mr.. Houck is not sanguine
of cutting Major Steele's majority in this
district, which was all that he hoped TO
accomplish at the beginning OF the cam
paign. He says the district will go Repub-
lican by a large majority, but is counting
on an increased labor vote to save his
face with the Democracy.
The canvass In the Eleventh district has
practically gone by default. the Democrats
feeling the fight hopeless and the Repub-
lieans confident OF holding up the usual
majority. On State and national issues,
however, there has been a lively contest
and apathy has disappeared everywhere.
Both sides are looking for large vote.
