THE TALK OF THE CAMPAIGN. Arranging for the Logan Reception—Various Meetings Held and To He Held. The demonstrations on the occasion of General Logan’s visit next Friday promise to be a second edition of last Tuesday. Information already received indicates that large crowds are coming from all parts of the State, and it is expected that there will be 20,000 members of the Young Men’s Republican clubs in attendance. W. H. Tucker, of the committee of arrangements, expresses the opinion that there will be between 4.000 and 5,000 cavalrymen in the line of the procession. Among the attractive features of the street parade will he several floats, which are being prepared. The route of the parade has not yet been definitely decided upon, but it will probably he from the corner of Ohio and Pennsylvania streets to Market, east to New Jersey, south to Washington, west to Illinois, north to Market, where Gen. Logan, after riding at the head of the column to this street, will review the procession as it passes. The meeting at night will bo held in Circle Park. The executive committee in charge of arrangements for the Logan demonstration on the :11st, inst, in this city, held a meeting yest lay afternoon and agreed upon a programme, which will be published in full at a later day. A meeting of all committees will be held at the United States Court room, at 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. It is desired that every member will bo present, and as many soldiers as can attend. The following gentlemen have been designated to organize and command the troops —each commander to select his own assistants and report their names to Fred. Knefler, general commanding: R. S. Foster, infantry; Geo. W. Spahr, cavalry; Louis Kern, artillery; Thos. M. Watson, colored troops. The following call has been issued: The companies and squads of mounted men from tbe ont townships and adjoining counties wishing to take part in the parade on the 31st inst. (and they are specially invited), will please report to me at the earliest moment the probable number of mounted men they will bring, that we may provide forage and stabling for their horses. Geo. W. Spahr, Commanding Mounted Men. UNIFORMED BANDS. The committee having in charge the arrangements for music for the great demonstration to be held here on the 31st inst., in honor of General John A, Logan, the war-eagle of Illinois, the typical American volunteer soldier, have decided to furnish transportation to all uniformed bands which desire to take part on that occasion. The committee specially stipulates that these bands are to be in uniform, and asks that all correspondence on the matter shall be sent to Mr. Theodore Pfaffliu, of this city, at the earliest possible date. MR. PEKLLE ON THE SOUTH SIDE. Notwithstanding the chilling weather last night, quite a large crowd gathered at the foot of Virginia avenue to hear Hon. Stanton J. Peelle discuss the issues of the campaign. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Central Blaine and Logan Glee Club, under the leadership of J. Burgess Brown. A proposition to hold the meeting in a hall was voted down, and during the hour or more of Mr. Peelle’s discussion and explanation of the effects of protective tariff the crowd stood listening with close attention.

A Journal reporter had a talk with a gentleman from Lawrence, Mass., yesterday. “By how many do you think the Republicans will carry Indiana?’’ inquired the Massachusetts man, proceeding to interview the interviewer. “By about 10,000,” said the reporter, with his usual modesty. “Do you know that figures like those frighten us in Massachusetts. Ten thousand seems very close. Why, in my State, if we thought we were only going to carry Massachusetts by 20,000 it would frighten us terribly. How about your Irish vote?’’ The reporter thought the Irish vote for Blaine and Logan would be surprisingly large, and that on the State ticket it would be larger than the figures indicated, as in addition to the Irish who were openly and avowedly with the Republican party, there would be a great silent vote, much tike that given in Hamilton and Montgomery counties, Ohio. “But how are the Irish with you?” urged the reporter. “In my State the Cleveland ticket will get a minority of the Irish vote. In all the manufacturing cities ar.d towns where there are many Irish, voters of that nationality are, for the most part, allied with either Blaine or Butler. In Lawrence, in the smallest ward in the city, there ig a Blaine and Logan club of 107 voters, every man an Irishman. There are in the city two other Republican clubs made up of Irishmen and numbering 250 voters. Our town went 1.300 Democratic at the last election. This time, with the aid of the Irish, we will carry it We think the Butler ticket in the number of votes it receives will come next to the Blaine and Logan ticket, leaving Cleveland third. The independent Republican freetraders have done us good in driving into our ranks many of the best Irishmen. The working people are awake and thinking. I was shown to-day a preposterously absurd letter from a free-trader written to a gentlemnu of your city, claiming that Cleveland would carry Massachusetts. They are a guileless lot of chumps.” NOTES AND PERSONAL MENTION. Fred Douglass and Prof. R. T. Greener will speak at the Park Theater, in this city, on next Thursday night. The charge that the officials occupying the Court house expending 75 cents for flags in incorrect The flags wore borrowed. Mr. L, S. Newell, well known here as a thinker and a writer, will talk on protection at the United States Court room this evening at 8 o’clock. A iarge audience is not expected, but every one interested is invited to come. Mr. Philip Rappaport is in receipt of an invitation from the German Republican Club in La fayette to speak there on Oct. 29. The letter says: “The Germans are doing well here. We have more German Republicans this year than we had at any time during the last fourteen years Our club now numbers 301 members. We hope that the Germans in Indianapolis will do as well as we.” I In speaking of the meeting addressed by Hon. Charles L. Holstein, on last Monday, at Madison, his old home, the Madison Courier says: "The court room was so fearfully crowded that it was gome time before sufficient quiet could be obtained to allow the speaker to proceed We have never seen more people in the auditorium. Mr. Holstein's method of public discussion is calm, fair and argumentative. In a clear and well modulated voice he expressed matured and precise views upon the leading issues of the day. When he was through the audience could appreciate Governor Porter's saying of him at the Park: ’He is as good a speaker as we have in Indiana.’” The Madison

THE UNION VETERANS’ CONVENTION. Tlie Object for Which It Is Called—An Interview with Major Merrill. The national mass convention of Union veterans will bo held this afternoon at 2 o’clock, at the Park Theater. A Journal reporter found Major George S. Merrill, of Lawrence, Mass. , ex commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, at the Denison House, last night, and inquired of him concerning the objects of the proposed meeting. “The soldiers.” said Major Merrill, “universally agree that something must be done in the way of modifying and amending the present pension laws, aud this meeting is intended to give expression on the part of the soldiers to their general opinion upon that subject. My own impression, which I do not caro to obtrude, is, in the first piace, that Congress should say, what it has heretofore said to the contrary, that the fact of a man’s acceptance and enlistment should be taken as a proof that he was sound at that time.and not now compel him to prove it. The lapse of twenty years, through the death of witnesses, has wiped out a large amount of testimony that a soldier, must under the present laws, rely upon to prove disabilities arising in the service. We feel that the law should be amended and materially modified in regard to the requirement of such evidence. My own proposition—l don’t want to put myself into this too much—but it seeni6 a fair one—is that this government could afford to and to, her own honor, ought to close the doors of the alms-houses of the land against any honorably discharged soldier or sailor. It should be done on the broad basis that if a soldier or sailor is in need of aid the government should so provide for his necessities that he should never become a pauper. Strange to say there is opposition to that suggestion. It is not fought as an abstract proposition, but when we try to put it into the legislation of the land we find there are difficulties in our way.” In regard to the local pressure to put off the meeting of the convention until the day that General Logan arrives here, when the city will be filled with soldiers interested in the objects for which the convention has been called, Major Merrill said: “While it is true that many soldiers will be here on that day, we deem it advisable not to postpone our meeting until that time. While the great majority of Union soldiers belong to the Republican party, we, as members of the G. A. R., desire to avoid every appear ance ot political bias or demonstration. The meeting to be held here to-morrow (to-day) will be sufficiently large for the purposes for which it has been called. Delegates are here now from Kentucky. Missouri, Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and perhaps other States, while many more will arrive in time for the convention; so that nearly all the States will be represented, if not by delegates by proxies. We have had correspondence with more than a thousand soldier and sailor organizations over the country. The points given cover substantially the things to be agreed upon. There are, of course, other minor matters to come up in the convention. We also have a special recommendation governing the cases of ex-prisoners of war, sufferers in rebel prisons. I have been informed by pension authorities that the recent applicants* for pensions, those for whom we are asking needed legisla tion, are, as a rule, the best and most worthy. This is for tho reason that the applicants are men who, from motives of pride, have delayed making application. Being able to earn their living they asked nothing. Now, as old wounds reopen and the hardships of camp and field appear in the form of rheumatism and other ailments twenty years after the causes originating them, the old soldier, unable to resist aud bear as they did when younger and stronger, the necessity of aid can no longer be concealed, and they can no longer get along without it” THE CALL FOR THE MEETING. Folio wine is the official call for the meeting referred to above: Attention Union Soldiers—A call having been made for a national mass-meeting of Union soldiers to consult together in regard to pending pension laws, the meeting will convene at the Park Theater this afternoon at 2P. M. The meeting will he entirely nong artisan. There will be representatives from each tate in attendance, and our own State will he largely represented, and all ex-Union soldiers of Indianapolis should be present to give our comrades a soldier's greeting. The following soldiers have been selected as the local committee of reception, with headquarters at the Denison Hotel: Fred Knefler, R. S. Foster, J. R Carnahan, Louis G. ltuth, Georgo W. Parker, David Swain, A. C. Jones, Irvin Robbins, D. S. Alexander, Joseph R. Forbes, Will C. David, Dan Ransdell, Horace McKay, Fred Ward. D. J. Smock, W. C. Lamb. J. L. Bieler, J. H. Paver, Captain Molony, Captain McHugh, N. R. Ruckle, H. C. Adams. O. M. Wilson, C. H. O'Brien, Frank Ryan, Thomas M. Watson.

AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OPERA HOUSE—“TOUNG MRS. WINTHROP.” In “Young Mrs. Winthrop”—which was presented, for the first time in this city, at the Grand last night—the Madison-square Theater has another of those successes which have given it a reputation and a distinctive clientele, not only in New York but throughout the entire country. It is a beautiful play, telling a touching story in a manner that is most effective. It is bused upon the domestic infelicities of a young married couple who became estranged, separated, and finally reconciled. He is a man who is absorbed in business pursuits—she a woman who finds compensation for his neglect in the excitement of fashionable society. While he is away from home and she at a brilliant party there only child, a little girl, sickens suddenly and dies, and thus the last bond that has held them together is broken. There follows a pathetic separation, and ultimately a reconciliation and a happy reuniou. Dramatically, the play is stronger than these that preceded it; it has a correct literary style, and it deals with those at tributes of character with which an audience most naturally and easily sympathizes. It is admirably acted. Mr. George Clarke’s Douglass Winthrop is a strong, manly impersonation, and the opposite part is presented by Miss Langdon with corresponding tenderness and grace; Miss Ada Dyas as Mrs. Dick Chetwyn. ts charmingly done, and Miss Kennark’s Edith is as natural as it is possible for such a highly idealized part to be presented. Individ ual excellence can also be attributed to the efforts of Miss Roberts, Mr. Woodard and the others in the cast. The play was put on the stage in a particularly pleasing style. “Young Sirs. Wenthrop” will be seen during the remainder of the week. NOTES. Manager Dickson is going to put lady ushers in the Grand, November 6. This does settle it Miss Maud Stuart (Grubbs), of this city, was the original Edith Chapin, the blind girl in “Young Mrs. Winthrop.” Kiralfy’? “Excelsior” will continue throughout the week at English’s. It is a splendid spectacular production and should draw large houses. George H. Jackson, representing “Ranch Ten,” which is at English’s the first part of next week, with Sydney Smith as the star, is in town, arranging for the engagement. Grand Organ Concert. The inaugural concert of the grand organ of Plymouth Church will take place on Wednesday evening, Oct 29. It will be given under the direction of Prof. W. H. Clarke, assisted by the

organists of the principal churches of the city. This organ has been building since June, and when completed will be second to none in the West. The concert will show the organ in all its range and power. After the opening it will be used in the regular services of the church. Tickets will be on sale at the book stores. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. McLeod left for Buff alo, N. Y., on Wednesday evening, to attend the Presbyterian synod that meets there this week. He may be absent over Sunday. Cards are out for the marriage of James Robert McKee to Miss Mary Harrison, at the First Presbyterian Church, on Wednesday evening, Nov. 5, at 7:30 o’clock. A reception will be held at the residence of the bride's parents from 8:30 to 11 o’clock the same evening. Mrs. McKee will be “at home” Wednesdays, Dec. 10 aud 17, at 074 N. Delaware street The marriage of Perl W. Morgan, of the Indianapolis Sentinel Company, to Miss Mary McKnight, of Plainfield, took place Tuesday evening at the house of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Little, at that place. Rev. H. H. Dunlavey, pastor of the M. E. Church, officiated, and the occasion was a very pleasant one. The wedded couple will reside in this city. Hotel Arrivals. Hotel English: W. C. Cleveland. New York: M.

“QUITE A CONTRAST.” Asa “contrast” to the subjects In which Bull Dogs do engage, I’ll speak about tho “contrasts” Tnat are getting all the rage. “Contrast” in dress is something Which engages women's mind, And “contrasts" most decided Can be found in womankind. But 'tis not not alone in color, ’Tis not confined to shade, But “contrasts” can be noticed In everything that’s made. The people all are “contrasts" Who at your door may knock; There’s even quite a contrast In the 1 ‘ Babies ou our Block." There’s contrasts in the sermons, And iu preachers, too, I think. There’s contracts, too. in sinners, And iu what they eat and drink. ! Tis very plain the Bull Dog, That suits everybody’s views, Is a very striking “contrast” To the common kind of chews. ’Tis a contrast to the others, Which offend the taste and smell, For in purity and flavor Bull Dog ever does excel.
