JAMES GRAY. ONCE A DEMOCRAT,
BRINGS NEWS OF FIRST DISTRICT.
G. c. Lyons, of Fairmount, VIII As
sign Speakers for Republican Cam
paign-Chats with Visitors.

James Gray. Of Evansville. Republican
candidate for joint senator from Wander
burg Warrick and Pike counties, was in
town yesterday. Mr.. Gray was formerly
identified with the Democratic party, and
left II in 1896 with other Democrats on
account of the Democracy's unique view
on the money question. During the Span
ish-American war Mr.. Gray served as navi-
gator on the Yankton, an auxiliary cruiser
stationed off the coast OF Cuba. He was
graduted from the United States naval
academy in 1880 and resigned In 1884 10 go
into business.
Mr.. Gray said that Representative Hem
enway will be reelected in the First dis
trict In Yanderburg country" he said,
there is no question that we'll elect the
whole county and legislative ticket, and
the chances are il will be the same in every
county in the district except Posey. add
there is an excellent chance Of Mr.. Hemen-
way carrying that county for Congress.
There will be a great change in the farmer
vote in the district The farmers have
come to see the advantage they have de-
rived from the last two Republican adj
ministrations in the increase in the price CT
farm products. farm lands and all other
kinds OF property condition brought
about by the policies Of the Republican
party. They have come TO see the great
advantage of the present administration 8
strong foreign policy in securing foreign
markets for farm products.
The Republicans will make large gains
among the manufacturers and their en-
ployes. Every mill in the district is run
ming full time and more new industries
are in course of construction than at any
time within. the last fifteen years. Mr..
Hemenway will carry the district by 1,sOO
TO $500 ma JOrity. The Democratic party in
the district is split and disorganized There
is labor faction in the party which has
been irrevocably alienated and the Cleve-
land faction has entirely over-ridden the
Bryan or free-silver faction in every Dem
ocratic convention in the district. The
Democratic laboring man at last sees
clearly that the Democratic party is not
for him, and the Republican gains from
this class of voters will be large in every
county in our district"

GIRLS FOUND DEAD BABY
CAME UPON WEIGHTED SACK
WHILE wADING IN WHITE RIVER.
Pulled 1t Ont and in Ii Saw the Body
of Nine-MOnths-OId Child-POlice
Seek Young Man That WINS Near.

Girls found the body of a well-developed
baby in White river last evening. The
body had been in the water for a long time.
About o'clock Bessie and Cora Wiese,
living at 1926 West Twenty-ninth street,
with Pearl and Gladys Bedford, living at
lbs West Twenty-ninth street, were
wading in the river near the first suspen-
sion bridge over White river at Riverside
Park. Cora Wiese entered a small neck of
water that runs inland for some distance
The water is shallow and is surrounded by
a dense growth of underbrush. The water
is sluggish, and the girls curiosity was
aroused when she saw a small piece of
white paper floating on the top. The paper
was attached to a long leather strap.
She called for the other girls and told
them that she intended pulling out the
strap. The task proved a hard one, for at
the bottom of the strap was a heavy
weight in a burlap sack. The girls finally
pulled out the sack and ripped it open.
There was disclosed the decomposed form
of a baby about nine months Old The
girls. panic-stricken. were at loss as to
what to do. They looked up at the bridge
and saw young man leaning over the rail.
They called for him TO come, but he moved
away. The girls then ran to drug store
at the corner of Clifton and Udell streets,
where they told the druggist. The latter
notified the police. Bicyclemen Trimpe and
Lowe went to the place The body was
placed in a box and taken to the city
morgue, where Coroner Brayton viewed
it last night.
The police began an investigation and
learned from a girl who was attracted to
the place that young man with smooth
face, wearing a dark coat and straw hat,
had taken the hitching weight and strap
that had been found in the sack. The po-
lice are of the opinion that the man who
was on the bridge when the girls found
the body is the same one that came later
and took away the weight. 1t is thought
he may know something about the child.
