PRINCETON, Ind, Oct. pa large audi
ence greeted Senator Charles w. Fair
banks, who spoke in the opera house here
this afternoon. This has been great day
for Princeton. Yesterday a fine gusher of
natural gas was struck, which naturally
elated the people, and to-day the Repub-
licans-and a good many Democrats
heard one Of the best political speeches
ever delivered in this city. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the people are much ex-
cited over the big gas discovery. they have
not allowed their joy to interfere with their
fealty to party, and they came out this
afternoon in large numbers. The senator
arrived about o'clock from Oakland City.

and there was some apprehension lest the
senator should not get here in time to ad-
dress the meeting The speech was de-
layed, however but a few minutes.

house by Bentons Band BY the time the
senator arose to speak there was scarcely
standing in the house. Mr.. Fair
banks was introduced by Arthur P. Twine-
ham. There were on the platform among
other prominent men Representative Hem
cnway and r. ]. Tracewell controller of
the treasury.
In his Introductory remarks Senator
Fairbanks asked the voters If they knew
how to make their ballots effective. An

The senator spoke of the vital impor-
tance of Republicans not failing TO vote
next Tuesday He emphasized the sug-
eestion i'm these words: But one week
remains in which We can work before we
pass our final judgment on pending issues
There is the most gratifying evidence that
we will succeed IL We do our fun duty.
Mere victory is utterly barren unless II
carries with il the triumph of good. sound
policies The success of candidate Is
defeat for us IL he does not stand for those
principles which make for our welfare.
We should not vote for men for the sake
of mere friendship or because they are
agreeable-if they stand for free trade or
free silver. or for any other equally vicious
policy Stand for men who stand for poll
cies which are for your best interests and
