THE FOREMOST CANDIDATE.
Gen. tew Wallace Seeking a Sent in 1 lie Senate—Politicians ill Indianapolis and All Over tlie .State
Very liusy.
Gen. Lew Wallace, known the world over as the author of "Ben-Uur," intends to take an active part in politics and try to realize his life-long ambition of becoming United States Senator from Indiana 'i. "Gen. Lew Wallace is the foremost Republican candidate for the United States Senate in Indiana at this time," remarked Daniel M. Ransdal, of Indianapolis, in conversation with a St. Louis Olobc Democrat, man at the Planters'on Wednesday Mr. Ransdall has for years been the close and confidential friend of ex-President Ben jamin Harrison, and during the Harrison administration he was United States Marshal of the District of Columbia. "I think there is no doubt that Gen. Wallace is now considered the leading Republican candidate for the United States Senate, but, of course, he has some strong competitors. Perhaps the next in strength is Robert. S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne, Ex Congressman Frank Haaley, of Williamsport, and Frank Posey, of southwestern Indiana, and, also, Gov. Mount, are talked of for the Senate.
The fight between the Democratic and the Republican parties will be to obtain control of the next State Legislature, which elects a successor to Senator David Turpie. Indiana is a doubtful State, and is always a hot fighting ground in politics.
!'The
Republicans are confident of
carrying the State this time without any great amount of trouble. All conditions seem to favor the Republicans. They now have a majority of the holdovers in the State Legislature. They made the recent apportionment of the State. Then, too, the return of prosperity and the improvement of the financial conditions of the country tend to aid the Republicans. With all these points in their favor, the Republicans feel reasonably sure of obtaining control of the next Legislature. "As to the fight for United States Senator," continued Mr. Ransdall, "it has been said in the newspapers that there may be a clash between the
Harrison stalwarts' and the 'Republican machine,' which is said to be controlled by Senator Fairbanks. It has even been said that Senator Fairbanks has the power to dictate the nomination of the Republican candidate for the Senate. As a matter of fact, there is no division in the Republican party in Indiana, and I have never heard of any intimation that Senator Fairbanks would even attempt to dictate the name of the Senatorial candidate. It is true that Mr. Fairbanks had everything his own way at the time he was elected to the Senate, but I believe he has no desire to set himself up as a dictator. The Republicins are harmonious. Gen. Wallace is a great friend of Gen. Harrison, and always has been. Robert S. Taylor is also a Harrison man. Before Gen. Harrison was elected to the United States Senate he served on the Mississippi River Commission, and Mr. Taylor succeeded him on that commission. It is not yet certain that Gov. Mount will become a candidate. He lives in the same county where Gen. Wallace resides, and the two have been life-long friends. Gen. Wallace is an avowed candidate for the Senate, and many believe that Gov. Mount will not enter the race, but will lend his influence to aid Wallace's candidacy. Taylor is also an avowed candidate, and he has a host of friends.
The Democratic candidates for the Senate are ex-Gov. Matthews, John W. Kern and Gil Shanklin. If the Democrats carry the Legislature Mr. Turpie will attempt to gain a re-election, but in that event Matthews will certainly win, as he is identified with the free silver wing that controls his party. Senator Turpie ip now close to 75 years of age, and the majority of his own party leaders thiuk he should retire at the close of his term."

L. D. Brown Son & Co.
Comprehensive is the word best expressing our present assortment of Colored Dress Stuffs. We have always prided ourselves on showing the handsomest line of colored dress goods in the Wtate but this year we have outdone the best. We have ransacked every market for the best and the showing is truly wonderful. Ladies who have inspected the assortments offered in larger cities, including Indianapolis, are a unit in declaring our line the most practical of any. After the fancy weaves and novelties of several seasons the plain, rich, dark colors and plain cloths shown seem a little unusual, but the more one looks at them the more beautiful they grow until they are grand in their dark richness. Of course there are dozens of novelties, such as Shepherd's Checks, French and Scotch Plaids, and Illuminated Crepes, also Kurl Cloths and Side-band effects, but plain cloths are unquestionably in the lead. The range includes:
Broadcloths, Amazones, Epingleines,

LININGS.
We don't sell all the Dress Goods sold in Crawfordsville we know, but it seems we sell the linings for almost every dreBS. But it is no wonder. Our Lining Btock is larger than many dress goods stocks we know of and there is not a desirable thing missing. We constantly carry a complete line of the Gilbert linings, as well as the famous Midnight Fast Blacks. If you have ever noted our Skirt cambticsyon have seen the difference between them and what other houses sell at the same price and it is just so with everything in this stock, the best we can buy. Good linings make perfect fitting garments. All dress makers appreciate this and that is the reason we furnish almost all the linings ,» used in Crawfordsville.
Bengalines, Face Cloths, Henrietta
Cashmeres, Diagonals and Serges.
Besides these we have provided an exclusive line of Meltons, Whipcords, Clay Worsteds, Tweeds, Coverts and Melange Suitings in plain colors, small checks and fancy mixed, expressly adapted to plain, severe but beautiful tailor-made suits. As usual we show a very large assortment of fine French Novelties, in dress lengths that cannot be found elsewhere. Three of the prettiest, weaves are of silk and wool as follows:
Broche Glace, Croise Vigonruex, Jacquard laine.
Hunters and bottle green, plum and helitrope will perhaps be the leading shades, but Navy and Frencli Blue, Havana and Seal Brown and several shades of Grey will be largely used.
American Made Goods-
For several years the Botany mills have been seriously nagging our French and German friends with their excellent line of Serges and fancy Heather mixtures. They are very much better than any foreign manufacturer produces for the same money. We carry a complete line and can strongly recommend them for beauty of weave, richness of color and durability.
For wear nothing equals "Jamestowns." We are exclusive agents for the original line made by Hall & Co., and are showing a fine assortment.
