The Decatur Democrat comes out this week changed from a quarto to a folio eue, thereby improving the looks of the paper greatly. Th.. Democrat is always a lively, readable paper, even for those who are not particularly in terested in the local affairs of the place of the publication.— Fort Wayne Gazette. The greater portion of this week’s Democrat is devoted to last Saturday's rally. Col. Messmore s speech is printed in full, together with a very full and complete report of the day's doings. For the report and ‘‘stenographing" of Col. Messmore's speech Mr. A. F. Simpson is entitled to the credit. We have accomplished something that but few papers outside the large cities ever attemptin full the reporting of a political speech. Later—Since the above was in type we have been compelled to “cut out’’ much of Messmore's speech. A rush of advertising is the cause.

flags flying, and hundreds of bright, hopeful Democratic faces. The Kirkland township hickory was largely displayed, and the procession boasted of many a grayheaded old follower of Old Hickory Jackson. At 10:40 Union township—reliable old Union—came in. We say the township came, and mean it literally. There surely was none of it left at home. It all came to Decatur, and as it filed by the Burt House, Mr. Landers. who stood smiling in front of the hotel, was loudly cheered and answered with a tip of his hat which put every one into the best of a humor. Then came Monroe and Root ‘with other hundreds of cheering, confident Democrats. They filed by until Col. Messmore, who stood by Mr. Landers side, said “I never expected to see such delegations as these are. when I landed here this morning ’’ The procession was finally formed, undert.be command of Marshal Dent and his able aids, and marched through the principles streets thence by the Court H<>use, where Mr. Landers stood to review it, out to the Fair Grounds. As wagon load after wagon load of Democrats rode by and with swinging hats, cheered for Landers and his party, it made one feel that democracy is a reality in Adams county. From the head of the procession clear through to the very last wagon one saw, in almost every group of men, some old, silver haired man, whose presidential years have already beer, many, yet who felt just as young, just as strong, just as hopeful, as he did in the days of Jackson. New life has been infused by the nominations of the men who carry our standards this fall, and as the glad music floated back from where the band marched at the head of the col umn, they felt that already had victory perched on the banners of democracy, and that the glad tidings of peace had now reached this fair land of ours.

The Union township martial band, and the Decatur drum corps played as if th< re was life in them, and, in fact, every one appeared lively to the very highest degree. When the procession filed into the fair grounds and joined those already there, there were simply acres of people. Here and there was carried arouno a banner or a flag, and men flitted about among the trees, it looked as if an army, with banners and flags and drums, had encamped there. About one o’clock the meeting was called to order by Judge Bobo, of Decatu.’, who introduced the Hon. Frank Lattners

(The Democrat had made arrangemen s to have the speech of Mr. Landers reported eerbatim, for its columns, but circumstances over which it had no control, prevented it from reproducing the entire speech of the distinguished man.) The honorable gentleman • devoted die nreater part of his speech to the consideration of the financial question. When men, especially public speakers, begin to talk finance to an audience it generally wearies, because it does not understand the terms used and the illustrations used. Not so, however with Mr. Landers' way of handling this ticklish matter. He is a shrewed business man. He thoroughly understands the whole matter, and is perfectly able to get it before the people in away in which they can understand it, too. In regard to this matter of a joint discussion, concerning which some of the Republicans are circulating what they know to be falsehoods, Mr. Landers said that he desired a joint discussion with Mr. Porter at every meeting which he held, if that gentleman were willing. But Mr. Porter would not meet him again. He was like the man who went out to hunt the bear. He was exceedingly anxious to find it. He started out with a great noise. He followed it at first with a great deal of enthusiasm At length hi- drew near to the animal and then he cried out to Lis friends to site him from the.mon ster.

In regard to tne remonitization of silver Mr. Landers said that that act merely placed silver where it /tood when the bonds were issued it. 1870. By that law the people contracted to pay those bonds in coin, but the demonetization act deprived the people of that contract. The remonitization act restored to them this contract. Yet Gen. Garfield said the law was a rascally one. Why was it rascally ? “It merely restores you your own contract to pay those bonds in silver if you choose, as the contract was originally made, and which was changed without your consent. Vote for Garfield, and you vote for one who said remonitization is repudiation. The speaker asked if the people had felt the shock which the Republicans had said would fall on the business interests of the country if silver were remonitized ? When Democrats stopped contraction and said no more greenbacks should be destroyed, business revived. The business man brought out his money and invested it. The machinery of the land started, and 300,000 of men went to work. Labor produces wealth, and now we are prosperous. Now they say all this was done by the Republican party. °You have par money, fellow | Democratic ascendency, and this is one > reason of oar prosperity," L Ut regard tn <gscJ»ptioD, ’"l'i* l Gtant «s h-’vfl'ig said ’ v-qd *** *c’.->iae( Wo the eotmtry;

and we must provide an office for it. Gen. Garfield said that the remonitization of silver would drive gold out of the country. “Did it go? No sir. Your wheat, your pork, your cattle, your tobacco and your cotton brought gold into this country. You can't legislate it in oroutof any country. Farmer who sells more than he buys is getting richer every year. Just so with the nation. Finance is simply business. There is no secret, nor any humbuggery about it." In regard to state matters the speaker said that we save $94,01(0 under Democratic rule which was squandered by Republicans. The state affairs are conducted on business principles. You can not assign any reason why the Democratic government should be changed for a Republican administration in Indiana.

Further in regard to Greenbacks the speaker said, let them be taxed. He wanted values taxed, but he believed in no double taxes, and that was being levied all of the time. If a man went to the bank and borrowed SSOOO and with it purchased cattle the tax gatherer assesses both cattle and note, thus double tax is paid on the SSOOO. This is taxing an imaginary thing. Wealth consists in what we have, and not in unreal things, and we should pay no tax on an imaginary value. As Mr. Landers’ time drew to a close he made haste to catch the train. Before he went he found time to say : “Now, my friends, I shall not see you any more until after I am elected governor of Indiana. Then if you will come and see me I shall be glad. II you will come to my inauguration I will give you a good old fashioned reception, and remember there will be no politics in my house when lam governor, We will run things on business principles. Mr. Landers hastened away to catch the train going south, and Col. Messmore of Michigan was introduced. As this gentleman had been induced to remain and speak in the court room in the evening (which speech will be found in another part of this paper) he spoke but a few minutes. After Col. Messmor. closed his remarks Judge Bobo arose to present the flags to the townships bringing the largest delegations. The Judge said : These flags are presented bv the Hancock and English Club of Decatur to the townships bringing the largest delegations here tn-d»y. The committee have awarded one to the township of Union and one to the township of Kirkland. This flag is the flag of our country and the banner of our party. It is a fit emblem of the great national character of the Democratic party. The sun does not shine on a spot in our great land where Democrats are not. Wherever the grass grows, wherever the water runs and the sun shines and wherever there be men in this great Republic there the Democracy is. Four millions, two hundred and fifty thous and Democrats march under this banner. There are in what are known as the southern states one million, six hundred thousand Democrats. In the northern states two millions, six hundred and fifty thousand Democrats. It is the flag of a great nation. It is the banner of the only great national party in this country. The greatest party which ever existed in any country on earth. The greatest known in the history of mankind. All other parties are sectional. The Democratic party alone in its history, in its locality and in >ts principles, is national. It has in its language no north, no south, no east, no west, but one country, one flag and one banner. One common interest in good government, one language, one people, one country and o ne flag, is the universal sentiment of that great party. Carry it to the front, preserve it, defend it and never, never let it be trailed in the dust "

After the presentation of the flags, the crowd returned to town, and for awhile it was almost impossible for pedestrians to move. There were at this time fully eight thousand persons on the street, and for so large a crowd it was the most orderly that we have ever seen. It seemed good natured and glad that it could do honor to such men as Hancock and English, and Landers and Gray. About 7 p. m. the torch light procession was organized and the thousands of lamps which were hung around on trees and houses, in windows and on fences, were lit, and the sight was a grand one. From housetop to housetop across main street were stretched |gng chains of lamps, while from This Democrat office to the court room was stretched a rope hung full of lantern'.. It was a glorious illumination, and did great credit to all connected with it.

At 7:30 the court room was comfortably filled with those who had come to hear Col. Messmore speak. At 7:40 it was crowded. At 7:45 it was jammed and very uncomfortably filled. At 7:50 it was overflowing, the windows and doors being crowded with anxious Democrats. At 8 o’clock the room was fiLed full of half smothered, but enthusiss ic joyful Democrats. Judge 'Studabaker introduced Col. Messmore in a few appropriate n marks, and then was delivered the speech which we jinjaent on another page. After the speaking was over the crowd dispersed, and Decatur was ta quiet again, S

L 2 I Literary. We have recently been shown a very neatly bound and printed volume enti-i tied “The Progressive Ages, or Tri-1 umphs of Science, and Treasures of Nature, History and Literature, by Prof. H. L. Harvey" Published by J. A Ruth & Co., Chicago, and Kansas City. The work is finely and profusely illustrated, and contains 432 royal quarto pages, fairly glistening with the rarest jewels of natural history and science, embracing scenic descriptions of the surpassing granduer and sublimity of portions of our western country its great plains, awe-inspiring waterfalls and remarkable subterranean caverns, together withan authentic- account of the Antarctic and Polar regions, with a spice of variety including “Sperting in the Tropics." There is also valuable scientifiic knowledge contained in the subject of “Alchemy and Chemistry," while “More Than One Universe" abounds in radiant astronomical truths regarding the rapidity of the motions of light, the neublae theory, and that one star of stars —Alcyone, the Sun King, around which all the heavens revolve. The meteroic aeolites, and wanderers through space arc not forgotten, but are unerringly traced in their mad flight through the ether blue. “Ocean Waves” the wonders of the trackless deep, -‘Sounds and Silence," earth treasures and ‘precious stones’ are theme possessing wonderful and fascinating interest. An adequate discription is given of important historical events, “Ancient Ruins." “The Temple of the Sun,” and the culture and the manufacture of our best known and most essential nat ural products. The chapter, “Nature's Teachings," is replete with rich and useful information, affording a subject for deep and earnest thought, while the life sketches of our noted scientists, inventors, and masters of art, inspire within the reader's mind a desire to cultivate, even though in a small degree the talents with which (Jod has endowed him.

The author has not only adapted bia work to every thinking, intelligent mind, but has woven around the whole that felicitious and pleasing style of language that never fails to fascinate the young mind. But it is impossible for us to fully delineate the beauties of this charming volume. We advise all our readers to procure a copy. The agent is at work in our community, and we commend him to the courtesy and patronage of our people. We would like to see a copy of the work in every family. 6ws. salTof Difcir Notice »•» hereby given that the underjiigneH ha- been d in writing, by John I.
