Lacks Political Astuteness.

LACKS fOllL1Cdl Assurances.
The fact is plain, however, to all who
have watched his course that Governor
Herrick lacks political astuteness Many
of his most serious errors were wholly
needless. The opposition of the powerful
anti-saloon league was invited by him in his
threat to veto the Brannock saloon bill nm
less amendments objectionable to it's friends
were made in it. Now the league, working
through the thousands of churches of the
state with which II is affiliated, is adopting
resolutions denOunctng the governor and de-
claring against his reelection. The resolu-
lions will hardly be enough to prevent his
nomination for second term, but the at
titude of the league makes it very doubtful
that the governor can be reelected if the
democrats nominate good man against
him..
The democrats seem quite well united in
this state now. The gold democrats, ex-
cepting those that went clear over into the
republican party in 1900, are back in line
and will support the national ticket. The
outlook is now for four tickets only to be
in the field. viz: Republican, democratic
prohibition and socialist. A conference of
prominent members of the old populist par
ty held here three weeks ago decided to
place a full state and electoral ticket in
the field. but nothing has been heard of
the movement since. AS it will have to be
done by petition and the petition must con-
tain about 5000 names of persons, who, by
signing it. pledge themselves to support the
such ticket will be placed on the ballot.
One Situation Gives Concern.
The situation in the sixth congressional
district continues to give the republicans
concern. AS it stands they are in a fair
way to lose that ordinarily sure republican
district At any rate 1t Is in doubt. Repre-
sentative Hildebrand has been declared
the regular republican nominee, but Judge
Scroggy, his opponent for the nomination,
will carry the matter to the courts So bit
ter has the fight become that whichever
one gets the regular nomination the friends
of the other will refuse to support him
The district ordinarily gives a republican
majority of 1900 but that is not enough to
make either Hildebrand's or Scroggys cleo
ton certain under the circumstances.
The democrats sure to recover the
thirteenth district. where Representative
Jackson defeated DR.. J. A. Norton two years
| ago. Mr.. Jackson nominated for a
second term against his wishes and then
declined to accept the nomination. The
action of Mr.. Jackson exasperated the par
ty leaders very much.
ID. G. Badger, the democratic representa-
| tive from this district. is asking for dis
| tinguished speakers to be sent into his
district to help him out, thus indicating
that he feels himself in danger, but 1t is
the consensus of the best political opinion
here that he will be returned. In the third
district the chances are that Representa-
tive X. NJ. Nevin will be reelected, but the
district Is classed as doubtful.

IN THE TABERNACLE CHURCH
IN INDIANAPOLIS.
THE STORY or HIS CURES
Charles Schwab, a Blacksmith, Re-
leved of Heart Trouble
Great Faith.

Indianapolis, Ind, A rril Lay
ing his haads on the head of Charles
Schwab, a blacksmith. and command
ing the evil spirits to depart from
him, Rev. W. F. Manley, of Rich
mond, exempliied divine healing at
the Pentecost Tabernacle. Schwab,
who had been suffering from
chronic pain In his heart ,arose with
the pain gone.
Since Monday of last week Rev.
Manley has been giving examples of
his healing powers at the Tabernacle,
and many members Of the band de-
clare that they have been cured of
various ailments.
At the meeting last night the min
lister, after emphasizing the need Of
perfect faith, asked that any one
present troubled with sickness, who
had faith that he could be cured, raise
his hand. Charles Schwab came for
ward. He said that he had been
troubled For a long time with pains
In his heart, which he had been un-
able to cure. The preacher called up
on the congregation to kneel with him
in prayer. Long and earnest was the
supplication. The climax came when
the minister, in tone of sharp COM
mand, said:
"I rebuke thee, foul spirits! In
the name of Christ, our Lord, COM
mand you to leave this man. Tn the
name of Jesus Christ, you shall goi
In the name and power of Jesus
Christ, / lay my hands on your head
and say to every disease in your
body: depart this moment. All
poison of flesh, blood or bone, leave
this man. You shall be made whole
by the power of Him. Glory to God.
Amen"
Schwab arose, it is said. seemingly
bewildered, and said he did not feel
the pains in his heart. Asked if he
believed himself cured, he said that
the pain was gone and he believed
that it would remain away.

THE FIRST
CONVENTION
OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN
INDIANA RECALLED
BY A RICHMOND MAN
Who Was Also a Member of the First
Electoral College-Call for
Old Timers.

Chairman Good rich has decided to
send special invitations to all Repub-
licans who attended the first Republi-
can state convention. ever held in In
diana, which assembled in Indianapo-
lis in 1856, to attend the coming con-
vention as guests of honor. It has
heretofore been announced that Judge
M. L. Bundy, of New Castle, was the
only one in this section of the state,
but it develops now that Hon. Enos
Watson, o. Winchester, of the law
firm of Watson & Hunt, father of
James E. Watson, of Rushville, was
present at that notable convention.
Mr.. Watson was surveyor of Ran
dolph county in 1854, having been
elected on the Democratic ticket, but
became Republican at the very or
ganization of the party.
The Palladium was under the i'm
preston that Hon. Isaac Jenkinson,
of this city was at that convention,
and, accordingly, interviewed Mr..
Jenkinson on the subject. He said:

Scenes From the Rivals
Poor Pillicoddy."

Despite the extremely bad weather,
large number of people attended the
entertainment for the benefit of the
Athletic association at high school
hall last evening. The evening was
marred by several unfortunate hap
penings. The electric lights gave out
in several places and gas was substi-
tuted and, at times, the heavy down
pour of rain entirely drowned the
voices of .he speakers. But, notwith-
standing these marring effects, the en-
tertainment was a success. The
scenes from the Rivals and the play,
"Poor P;llicoddy," a detailed ac-
count of which has been given, at
the time of the publics, were both
better than at their first presentation,
but nearly half of the latter play was
