To a crowd which taxed the capacity of the largest hall in Indiana, the governor Monday night spoke at Indianapolis and was cheered by thousands. Every sentence of his remarkable speech was a thoughtful one, the truth of which cannot be questioned. Eagerly the crowd waited for his views on the questions of so much moment this year, when the people are seeking some way to escape from the burdens imposed during twenty years of republican national rule. The pledges of the republican party of two years ago are broken — yes, worse —they have been flung back into the voters’ teeth with no effort to correct the tariff evils, the extravaagance of government, the reckies expenditure of money.

handle public questions. He discussed the tariff at some length and did it in a plain, sensible and logic manner. It was a great speech, from the mouth of a great man, and should arouse every democrat in Indiana to work, should Inspire every voter who read or heard it to take part in the great and assured victory on November Bth. One of the big meetings of the campaign will be the Kern meeting in this city Saturday evening. The democratic nominee for United States senator is an able orator, a scholarly gentleman, who will discuss the issues in a fair manner. Come and hear him. John W. Kern, democratic nominee for United States senator, will address the people of Adams county in this city next Saturday evening. He should be welcomed by a crowd that proves the loyalty of the citizens of this section to the people’s cause —democracy. We have never faltered and now with the greatest victory in a quarter of a century in sight, we should “get up and dig.’’ PUBLIC SALE.
