REPUBLICANS IN DESPERATE STRAITS

Indianapolis. Aug. 29.—Just how hara pressed the RepuUkaa* are in the municipal campaign that is caw on here is shown by the made yesterday by Cha.rz.an Logsdon of the city committee that five 01 the Indiana congressmen in addition to Congressman Overstreet of this district. are to be brought in to make speeches for Bookwaiter. This an■ouacemcnt has given a clear line on the kind of a campaign the Republicans intend to conduct. Every effort is to be made to give a national aspect to the tight. The Republicans understand tnat on local issues they will be swept off the boards. Their only hope, therefore, is to make such an appeal to their recalcitrant party members on the ground that a victory is needed for the sake of the party in the state campaign next year as will result in br.ngtns the bolters beck in lice This rs the kind of speeches the congressmen who come here will, make. Just how valuable they will be as agents to expls.a to the people the advaztag s of another two years of Bookwaltcr re ma us to be seen That they will be at le to sing a loud song in regard to party harmony and the need of united action and the effect of victory on the presidential campaign no one doubts who knows the speaking abilities of the congress men and their willingness to undertake to defend any kind of a scheme where Republican succera Is con cerned. No subject that has arisen in this city in years has caused more excitement among Irish citizen* general ly than has the arrest here of James Lynchehaun. the’ Irish convict who was caught one day this week. Irish citizens without number have come to his assistance, and a hard fight wtil be made in the United States court to prevent Lnchehaun's extradition. The people generally sympathize with the prisoner The impression prevails that be is the victim of the old absentee landlord system which has been responsible for most of Ireland s woes. People wonder, too. what kind of Justice a man gets In an English court which will t-react him for We tnr

from justice may hope for a consideration of his evidence in Kentucky. It certainly seems extremely liberal to admit a deposition under such circumstances.—Sentinel. “When we take our bands off of the lO.(XXM>KI Filipinos we are holding down then it will be a good time for us to lecture the Turk." Gen. Lew Wallace made this statement in a very positive manner and it speaks volumes as to the distinguished author’s ideas og the Philippine situation. His views on the revolutionary movements that are going on in the Turkish dominions were sought because of his acquaintance with the actors in tbe bloody drama and his familiarity with the territory where the revolution is taking place. He is a pers mal friend of the sultan of Turkey, with whom he became well acquainted when be was the United States minister at Constantinople. He is quite familiar with Beirut, the Syrian city. Gen. Wallace’s opinion, briefly stated, is that the United States should keep hands off of the Turkish imbroglio. As to the merits of the present revolutionary controversy he says he knows nothing except what he has read in tbe newspaper dispatches and that “it is im possible to form an enlightened judgment on account of thecentrar ety of opinion which the dispatches offer us.”

striking a man or woman who thrusts a revolver under his nose and threatens him. Tins seems to have been the case with Lnchehaun. and it is sate to say that if popular sentiment will have anything to do with enabling him to escape his persecutors, the Irishman will go tree. While most of the people who have read of the recent iron finds in Greene county are wondering how they can be turned to account from a business standpoint, there 1* one man who sees another use to which he proposes to put the iron This man is Senator William H O'Brien of Lawrenceburg His plan is to make a display of the ore at the St. Louis World's Fair. He believes that a proper exhibit of the iron ore there will have more to do to bring foreign capitalists here to invest their money than anything else that could be done. The iron fiule . will give Indiana another mineral to display at the exposition. .Mr. O'Brien says He is chairman of the committee on minerals and mineral deposits of the St Louis fair commission, and so is naturally more Interested than any of the others. He expects <o take up the question of making a suitable display of the iron with the owners of the land and mining privilege* In the near future.

BASE BALL. Bluffton will Play Decatur. Huntington Tomorrow, the Nationals Next and a Series With Bluffton. Huntington will be here tomorrow, confident of victory and sufli- j ciently strengthened to put up the fight of their lives. This game will give the winner two best out of three and you may look for a fight. Huntington defeated the Fort Wayne N.iti na - and this is considered sig. mficient. But a game is not won till five innings are played andHuntingt< n sports may rest assured that their money won’t gobegging. One week from tomorrow the Fort Wayne Nationals will play here. . and the finish may be different

than before. Railing will be here and will pitch for Decatur. Then France can be placed anywhere in i the infield and make a strong man. < ■ The game with the Nationals will be tone of the best of the season. But to crown all. Manager Marty has arranged a series of games with Blnffton. All true lovers of the ■port would have been sorry to see the season close with the indecisive game of a few weeks ago unchallenged. The unfortunate mistake of the score keeper elicited what we can not help but fee) some unjust criticism from cur neighbor citv. Be that as it may. Manager Martv will give Bluffton this game if necessary and play four more for the three best out of five. The first game will be played at Biuffton Sunday. September 13. and if everything runs smoothly further dates will : be arranged. Harry Cutting was here the other day and conferred with manager Marty regarding the aerie*. Railing will pitch these games fur Decatur and Cutting expects to import a good battery for Blnffton. A GOOD PLAYER. Siler, a Ltafae Ball Player, to be in Tc morrow’s Game.
