fair. Major. General o. o. Howard
Of New York and Charles T. Cald-
we'll of Parkersburg, we're the
orators Of the occasion. There
was a splendid audience out 70 hear
them, but everybody disappointed
as Gen. Howard is a very poor
speaker although a perfect gentle
man and gallant Union soldier.
Caldwell made some fun for the
crowd with his coarse Jokes and
vulgarity, but such speeches are not
hurting the Democrats any, and We
hope they will keep these spell
binders on the stump till election

REPUBLICANS LOSE INDIANA.
Their Own Poll Shows That the State
Is Democratic by $4,000.

indianapolis, Ind. Aug. 3o.-It
developed at Republican State head
quarters to-day that their POLL, just
completed, shows Indiana to be
Democratic by I8, 900 majority.
This revelation threw the Repub-
lican leaders into a state Of frenzy
and CONSERVATION. Chairman
Hernly secretly issued call for
meeting of the State Executive
Committee. To the members of
the committee Hernly said that at
the present time the State is in the
hands Of the Democrats, and il will
take a heroic effort for the Repub-
licans to get it back before election.
Poll-books were carefully gone
over, and the members of the com
mittees themselves verified the report
that the State is Democratic by I8,
900 majority.
State candidates were informed
of the situation and were urged TO
make canvass OF the State and
assist in making a more thorough
organization. Col. Durbin, Re-
publican candidate for governor,
who had been looking after the
organization in his own part of the
State, will shift the scene OF his
operations.
The Republican poll shows that
the greatest change from the Repub
lean to the Democratic column is in
the counties comprising the gas belt.
This is due to the operation of the
trusts in that section OF the state.
