Lieutenant Governor hilbert.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MARTINSVILLE, Ind, Sept. 0.-The
Republicans of Morgan county are getting
I'm shipshape for a vigorous campaign here
this fall, and will try to reclaim everything
in sight when election day rolls around.
The present Democratic auditor is a can
didate for reelection, but it is expected
that he will go down with the balance of
the Democratic ticket.
The campaign was opened here to-day
with an enthusiastic meeting, which was
addressed by Representative Holiday and
by Lieutenant Governor Gilbert, who de-
livered earnest, soul-stirring addresses.
Each touched upon the tariff question and
dwelt with pride on the economy which
the party had exercised and which speaks
plainly IN the continued reduction of the
public debt. Splendid tributes were paid
to the memory of President Mckinley, to
President Roosevelt, and to the great war
Governor, Oliver p. Morton. That a re-
vision of the tariff should be made by it's
friends and not by its foes was advocated
by the speakers.
Mr.. Holiday will return here on Satur-
day, Oct. 4. and will deliver nine or more
addresses at various places throughout the
county during the following week. The
county candidates will be with him during
his stay and will leave nothing undone in
his favor. Mr.. Holiday stands well with
the Republicans of Morgan county and it
is their purpose to do their part in return
ing him to Congress with an increased ma
jority. Among those In attendance at to-
days meeting were Judge Wiley, of the
Appellate Court, and David Sherrick, can
didate for auditor of state.
A large number of old men were in the
city from outlying districts, and showed
that they were in touch with the spirit of
the Republican party to continue the man
m of the government, and were Dro-
nounced in their praise of President Roose-
welt.

licans of Lawrence county opened the
campaign tonight at the courthouse with
an eloquent address from Frank b. Shuts.
of Aurora. who was greeted by a large and
enthusiastic audience. Mr.. Shuts spoke
convincingly on the general issues OF the
campaign. He alluded to the trusts and
the special treatment they should receive.
showing that not all of them were detri-
mental to the welfare of the people. He
also showed plainly that by means of
free trade the Democratic party would
destroy all American industries while the
Republican party would foster those which
are beneficial and regulate the ones which
are injurious by wise and proper legisla-
party had always been in favor of trust
regulation. while the Democratic party
had always opposed any congressional or
federal action leading to their regulation
and that the Republican party could be
trusted in this matter.
He compared the Indiana platforms, Re
publican and Democratic, reviewed the
tariff proposition and closed with a plea
for the retention of the Philippines and
a touching tribute to the late President
William Mckinley. The speech was list
ened to with rapt attention from beginning
to end and was considered one OF the best
ever made in the courthouse.

ciples and met with enthusiastic a%pproba-
ton. A comparison Of the records of the
Republican and Democratic parties was
drawn by the speaker. The trust question

ly. The work already accomplished by the

phasized. In fact. every issue which had
thus far been put up by the Democrats
was fairly met. Mr.. Miller created a most

The campaign in Rush county promises to
be a warm one. The people are taking great

things in good shape. and the campaign

Enthusiastically applauded. A noticeable
feature OF the meeting was the large at
tendance OF out-of-town residents and

the agricultural classes accounts for the
great interest taken in politics this year.
A good sprinkling OF Democratic farmers
who never before attended a Republican
meeting were also present. and many of
them VIII vote for a continuation of the
prosperous era. They remember the marc
times under the Cleveland regime and do
not care to go through the same experience
again. There was also a big turnout Of
factory employees. mechanics and laborers.
In all IL was a rousing meeting and a very
proper and inspiring opening of the cam
paign I'm this county. Howard county was
never in better shape than now. There is
rot a suspicion anywhere along the lines.
and Chairman simmer and other party
leaders expect TO see a record-breaking
majority this fall. The county is usually
from 1000 10 400 majority, but this year il
will be increased to at least 1850, and many
put the figures at 1000.
Mr.. Jewett talked on trusts, the tariff and
the Philippine question. The address.
though argumentative and analytical. was
highly entertaining. Gurley Brewer. he
gifted colored orator OF Charlottesville, ad-

ton and a judicial convention for the selec-
ton of a candidate for prosecuting attorney
Of Sullivan and Greene counties. Will H.

meLt in the coming race. his Democratic

represented these interests in the recent
anti-saloon fight in this county. Mr.. Hays
was one of the attorneys for the citizens.
There is no doubt that he will receive this
entire vote and the full Republican support,
and with a hard campaign 1t is very prob
able under prevailing conditions that he will
be elected.
The county convention to-day was the
largest and most enthusiastic ever held by
the Republicans in this county. The fol-
lowing ticket was selected: For representa-
tive, Cary Littlejohn; treasurer, George
~Youngman; recorder. Sam o. Self; sheriff,

troduced and : tremendous ovation fol-
lowed. Mr.. CLANCY Opened the campaign"
with a mastery address in which the issues
of his campaign in the Second district and
the country at large were carefully and ac-
curately explained. The Democracy of this

any time in its history, and the Republicans
of Sullivan county feel confident that great
inroads will be made in the normal Demo-
cratic majority.
