It is not an exaggeration to say that Governor Wilsons address in acceptance of the nomination of the Baltimore convention was exceptionally impressive and inspiring. That it would be scholarly, thoughtful and well expressed was expected of course. That it would be marked by the ability of the man of intellect, the student both of books and affairs was equally anticipated. But with ail this its real force was the force of intelligence, the acuteness, the clarity with which the student has analyzed conditions and the courage, the sincerity and sanity with which he approaches their ratification. With a thorough appreciation of the fact that there has been a great awakening of the people and that the country is at the beginning of a new epoch, he defines his conception of the responsibilities which place upon bis shoulders with no suggestion of cowardice, yet no taint of demagogy. In his masterly treatment of the tariff and trusts he urges that our jrolicy in working reform should be neither rash nor timid, and this lack of both rashness and timidity characterizes the definition of his attitude on the various important questions touched upon in his address. The party to which the country is to intrust the administration Os its government next \larch is fftl'Wnate in having so lucid and forcible a spokesman and the country will be doubly fortunate if, under the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, it shall see realized the soundly progressive policies enunciated by him at Sea Girt yesterday.—Henry Watterson, in Louisville Courrier-Journal. Grant Denman, a former resident of this city will probably be the republican candidate for governor of Ohio, and he has been endorsed by the Bull Moosers, thus giving him a chance to win. His many friends here have watched his ascendency in the political world with much interest and will be glad to hear of these new honors bestowed. He is a clean and worthy leader, who has made good. He is now a United States district attorney and is located at Cleveland.

George Perkins is financing the third party and says they will have three million dollars. He can afford it. He is the man who secured a monopoly on the wire nail industry and made the farmers and others pay $3.50 a keg instead of Wonder what he has in mind now? These millionaires seldom invest their money and time unless It comes back a hundred fold, and the people pay it. The New York Press sent letters to 1,000 known republicans, asking them to report where they stand this year. The replies showed the following result: Taft 442; Roosevelt, 335; Wilson, 132; not voting, 91. Further comment seems unnesessary. With the republican party thus divided, ana thirteen per cent voting for Wilson, there can be no doubt of the ultimate result. The coupons giving addresses of friends living aiar, have begun to come into the secretary of the Old Home Week invitation committee, and the interest in general is wonderful. Everybody is going to help make the week the biggest and best ever known here and make those who come back to see us glad they did so. Keep on sending in the coupons. Marshall's Day include a wild display ot flags and bunting on the down-town streets. Pictures of Wilson and Marshall will line Washington street and other busy thoroughfares. Enthusiastic democrats have reported to the committee that their homes will be decorated in style befitting the occasion. Not an opportunity will be overlooked to give the city the appearance of holiday attire. The traction companies have announced that special trains will be run wherever necessary to cate for the crowds. The out-of-town delegations will V?fein to arrive Monday afternoon and evening. A number of governors of various states and one delegate from each state in the union will comprise the advance guard. There will be a general jollification meeting at the Indiana democratic club on Monday night. Arrangements have been made for a luncheon at the Denison hotel on Tuesday. This feast will be characterized by impromptu speeches and a general exchange of congratulations. The committee has encountered some difficulty in obtaining a hall large enough to accommodate the crowd and the meeting place is stiTi in doubt. It is probably, however, that the ceremonies will take place either at the state fair grounds or at Tomlinson hall. The leading speaker for the guests will be Judge Alton B. Parker. He will deliver the notification address. The response by Governor Marshall probably will be the only other speech. Other details of the notification ar-rangements-will be announced rapidly as they are completed.

An alarm of fire from the home of Mrs. Mary Parrish on South Tent a street caused the fire truck to' make a hurried run shortly after 1 o’clock this noon, but which was unnessary, as the blaze, caused from an over-heated flue, had already died out upon their arrival. Mrs. Parrish had been baking bread and the back wall, becoming so heated from the flue, took fire and considerable excitement was had until the arrival of the department. But little damage was done. o MAKING REPAIRS.
