HUNDREDS TURNED AWAY.
HI usic Hall Wiw Not Nearly T.arge Knongh to Accommodate the Crowd That Wanted to Hoar(!nn^ro«s. man .andlH.
Congressman Landis spoke in Crawfordsville last Friday and the occasion will lone bo remembered as r.iie of the most enthusiastic and lar^e^i political meetings evtr accorded a speaker iu Montgomery county, i'or au off year in politics the meeting wos phonomeuai and certainly did mucin to remove the imprestiou that the people are apathetic as concerns the coming election. It was the first night this campaign, with one exception, that a Republican speaking had not bean held on a rainy night, but it is safe to say that rain or shine Music Uall would have been packed. Hundreds of voters, organized and led by John McAlevy, president of the Lew Wallace club, turned out to act as an escort for Mr. Landis from the hotel to the hall and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed all along the line of march. When the middle of the procession had reached the hall all ftie seats were gone and hundreds of people were actually turned away. The standing room was all taken and no one who had a position to hear in the hall left it during the speech of Mr. Landis. The hall had been beautifully decorated by J. W. Clemson. The band gave one or two popular selections, as did the Old Shady quartette, and then Mr. Landis was introduced by A. B. Anderson. He was greeted with great applause and cheers and proceeded to deliver one of the nicest, most logical and pleasing political addresses ever heard in Crawfordsville
He opened his remarks very appro priately with a description of the scenes at the closing hour of the last session of congress, when both sides of the house vied with each other in generous expressions of good will, typical of a country reunited in truth now for the first time in thirty-eight years. He then took up the cardinal principle of the Republican party for so many years, protection, now no longer an issue, however, as there is no organized opposition to it. He aptly contrasted conditions under Harrison and Cleveland and McKinley, illustrating by homely but telling instances right in the district, of prosperity, blighted by the Wilson bill and revived by the Dingley law. As proof positive that free trade is dead, he recalled that in the special session when the Dingley law was passed not a single word was uttered in defense of the Wilson law and no one even proposed a substitute for the Dingley bill. On the money question Mr. Landis was equally felicitous. He took up the various propositions brought forward by the free Bilverites in 1896 and proved absolutely by the facts of recent history that they were false. And again he called into play with forceful effect the experiences of a number of his friends among the plain farmers and laboring men of the district. On the subject of the war he was particularly forceful, bringing out repeated applause as he paid his eloquent trib ute to American heroes on sea and land. He declared flatly for expansion with all that it includes, the retention of the Philippines, the building of the Nicaragua canal, the growth of our merchant marine. His remarks concerning President McKinley created more enthusiasm than any other part of the speech. As he asked the American people to stand by the President, as he had stood by them in the war, recognizing men of all parties, there was a feeling in the entire audience that the request was right and reasonable.
At the conclusion of Mr. Landis' address the audience sang "America" and a magnificent political meeting came to a satisfictory close.
Our Candidates for Itepresentatlve
A wrong impression has to some extent gone forth in the county as to who are the opposing candidates on the Republican and Democratic ticket for the office of representative. It will be borne in mind that there are two candidates for representative on each ticket—one for representative of this county alone, and one for joint representative for the counties of Madison, Hamilton, Boone and Montgomery. Alexander M. Scott, of Ladoga, is the candidate for representative from this county on the Republican ticket, and Vincent Craig, of Darlington, is his opponent on the Democratic ticket. M. E. Clodfelter is the Democratic candidate for joint representative and Samuel R. Artman, of Boone county, is his opponent on the Republican ticket. M. E. Clodfelter is not the opponent of Alexander M. Scott, but of Artman, of Boone county.

A pretvier pageant was never t-een on the streets of Crawfordsville. and while moiv pretentious and imposing parades may have been made elsewhere, it is safe to say that no more artistic flower parade was ever carried out. Each equipage was a gem and would have to be seen to be appreciated. The carriages were completely hidden in the bright blossoms aud the horses were as well burdened with flowers. The harness was floral and the costumes of the ladies corresponded in every instance with the decoration of the carriage. The sight was a beautiful one and the liberal applause bestowed along the line of march and the delighted comments of the beholders certainly repaid the ladies for the'r arduous work in preparing the beautiful spectacle for the public.
The procession was headed by the band and in the rear cf the band marched Uncle Sam, oil hung from head to heels with the brightest kirid of posies and a smile as bright as an? posy the fields ever t-aw. Mm. A. Ramsey's carriatre csroe first, she be-

teem in which she is held in the city and county. She and her maids of honor were attired in cos'umesof pure white and carried bnnches of while roses and chrysanthemums
Much was expected of the parade but it is not at all exaggeratory to say that all were surprised with the sur-! passing beauty of the scene. It was a very pleasant echo of our departed street fair and was eloquent of what might have been had the original plans of the committee carried. It wan one of the bright features which would not down, but which persisted in blooming.
The following is the list of those having carriages in the parade and the flowers with which the carriages were trimmed:
Miss Minnie Brown, the queen, carriage trimmed in red and white roses. Lillian Naylor, Helen Honnell, Bessie Graham and Luna Chambers, maids of honor to the queen, carriage in white roses.

PART FIRST
A GOODLY VERDICT.
Phil Orillin. of Fountain County, Given $800 Damages Against the ltlg Four Itailroad.
For the greater part of last week the case of Phil F. Griflin against the Big Four railroad company was on trial in the circuit court, coming here on a change of venue from Fountain county. The plaintiff was some months ago driving from Coviugton to Veedersburg along the wagon road aad in attempting to cross the Big Four track in front of an engine ho was struck. Both horses were killed, the buggy wrecked and Grilliri
hiniRelf
had a rib broken. He sued for 810,000 damages and the case was tried in Fountain county, the jury giving him a verdict for 81,300, which was set aside by the court as not being in acvcord with the evidence. The case was then brought here with the result
The jury answered some spec
ial interrogatories and in doing so made Griffin's verdict extremely shaky. They found that the whistle blew for the crossing and that Griffin might have avoided the accident had he used due diligence. These findings are doubtless fatal to the CBse
of
the
plaintiff. On the first ballot the jury stood seven for the plaintiff and .five for the defendant.
LAFAYETTE DAY.
It Is Observed In Connection With Atbor Day In the Public Schools In Tills City Last Friday.
Arbor day and Lafayette day were both observed in the city schools last Friday with appropriate exeicises. The pupils had been told that voluntary contributions would be received if they saw fit to give them, the money thus collected to be given toward the fund being raised to erect a monument to the memory of General Lafayette. The response was gratifying indeed, when it is considered that a penny only was suggested as the amount to be given by each pupil, the sum given being about 818. Patriotic recitations, essays and declamations were made by the pupils and teachers and the exercises inculcated a spirit of patriotism which will be lasting and beneficial. Professor Kenaston made several addresses to the different grades on the lessonB to be learned from Lafayette's life, and the occasion was one of pleasure and profit.
Will Liwlion Married.
The following special from Newport concerns the marriage of a former Crawfordsville boy: "At the residence of the bride's parents in this place last evening took place the wedding of Dr. Will Manners Lawhon, of Danville, 111., and Miss Mabel (Stephens. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. W. Lawhon, pastor of theM. E. church of thiB place. John Earl Walker, cashier of a Danville, 111., bank, was groomsman, and MiBS Grace Lacey, of Perrysville, was bridesmaid. The wedding march was played by Miss Grace Shepard, of Dana. The Misses Mabel Hopkins and Charlotte Stephens acted ae flower girls. The bride wore white silk trimmed in white satin. The couple le left for Danville, 111., where they will make their fature home. The groom is a son of Rev. Lawhon of this place, but recently located in Danville., 11^., to practice his chosen profession. The bride is a daughter of Deputy County Olerk Robert E. Stephens, of this place. She is a talented elocutionist and musician."

Dcrnocrat:
"It was
amusing to see our old town wake up at the appearance of the Crawfords-: ville crowd advertising the street fair.' It looked like every one in town had been asleep and were suddenly disturbed in their slumbers. One merchant remarked that 850.00 could not be raised here for anything. This was probably overdrawn. One thing is certain though, there is one merchant in Crawfordsville who does as much advertising as all the merchants put together in GreencaBtle. lie is drawing trade and making money too."
