THE CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA

Ex-Gov.Portcr Finds llimself Compelled to Denounce a Malicious Fabrication. Dedication of & Republican Campaign Ball at Ridge Farm The Record Made bj tho Speakers in All Parts of the State. Kx-Oov. Porter Denounces a FalseliooH. The following, under date Nashville, Ind., was printed in yesterday' Cincinnati Enquirer: "Considerable of apolitical sensation wai created hre to-day over a statement made by James Hampton that Governor Portertold hitn, confidentially, when he spoke here eome daya ago. that Ben Harrison could not earry Indiana in the approaching contest. Mr. Hampton la a man whose word cannot be doubted." Ex-Governor Porter spoke yesterday, at Rensselaer, and the Journal's correspondent at that place was icstrncted to call tho Governor' attention to the statement. He did ao, and writes the Journal as follows: 'Go? ernor Porter denies emphatically ever bavins said to James Hampton, of Nashville, or to any other person, that General Harrison eonld not carry Indiana. lie never said so, and never thought so, and he knows no such person as James Hampton, of Nashville. n Anna Dickinson at Wabash. r?il to the Indianapolis Journal. Wabash, Sept 23. An immense erowd gathered at the opera-house in this city to-night to bear Anna Dickinson. The speaking did not begin untU 8 o'clock, but shortly after 7 it vras fonnd necessary to close the doors and hundreds were turned away. While waiting for the speaker the crowd was entertained byibellazea pie club, wbteh rendered some fine selections. Miss Dickinson was greeted with enthusiasm, and listened to throughout the two hours and a quarter with the closest attention. The speaker reviewed the past history of the two parties and held up Democracy in its true light, . and sarcastically referred to the Democratic party as the friend of the laboring man the party which indorses the words of Henry A. "Wise, that the normal condition of the laborer, be be whits or black, is slavery. Tee Republican party is to win ly the aid of enlightened public opinion. The speaker paid her respects to the Prohibitionists, and stated that their cause xnieht triumph if the millennium comes very soon, bat a long as there are diseased stomachs liquor will be cold. The greater issoe is the protecting of the ballot. The Prohibitionists who are trying to stick a poisoned needle into the Republican party should remember what they are doing when they are praised by the enemy. They should beware cf the Greeks when they come bearing gifts.The speaker said that she was aeensed of waving the bloody shirt. It was, instead, the white fas; of truth. At Locanport, last night, a Democrat asked that she be req nested to take a little of the vinegar out of her address. It was net vinegar, but the sugar of truth, and if it soured on a diseased stomach so much the worse for the listener. Miss Dickinson was suffering from a severe eold. and spoke only with great effort, but the address was a masterpiece of convincing logic ana eloquence. At is oemg praised by all who beard it. The lady will retrain in tnis city vjutil Oct L Mr. lioynea'e Canvas. social to the Indianapolis Journal. Warsaw, Sept 2SL The outlook for having this congressional district reoresented by a Re publican is particularly bright just now. Frof. Win. Hoy nef, the Republican candidate, haa just finished bis canvass in this (Kosciusko) county, concluding his series of public meetings cn Saturday night at Ncrtb Webster. His first speech in the county waa at Alentone, where be was greeted by a largo and very enthusiastic audience; his next point was Pierce ton, where he spoke for more than two hoars, and was cot only kindly, but enthusiastically, re civ?l. Last nUbt himself and L. W. RTe. of this place. spoke at Leesburg. At this place the Republicans bad met in toe afternoon, and raided two poles on aah side of the street, a rote connecting the two, from which was suspended a magnificent Sag rrepared for the purpose. In the evening 3Ir. Hojnes fairly captivated nts very large andier.ee and made hosts of friends. All of bis meeting bay been attended with music, both:' vocal and instrumental, and, although, all or these were nuht meetings, they were larger than many daytime rallies. At every point visited he trade many converts, and although this district is conceded Democratic, everv indi cation points to the election of Hoynes over Sbivelr, the demagogue, who, although not over thirty years of ace, La3 belonged to every party that has been organized d urine bia life. He was first a Republican, then entered the Grange movement, afterwards became a Greenbaeker, then a Prohibitionist, and finally landed where he natnrallv belongs m the Democratic party, succeeding by bis chicanery tn securing the nom ination over such old-time Democrats aa ye, of LaPorte; Harry Francis, of Michigan City; John B. Stoll, of South Bend: Morgan L. Weir, and othersnone of whom entertain the highest opinion of the straddW. Mr. Hoynes goes to Elkhart next week, where he will meet with a warm welcome. Mr. Cooper Kotreat. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Danville, Sent 23. The Sentinel of Wednes day, this week, contained what purport to be a correspondence between the Democratic and Re publican committees of the Fifth congressional district touching the matter of a joint discussion between Hon. Gcorga W. Cooper, Demo cratic candidate for Congress, tnd Hon. Henry C. Duncan, Republican candi date. The article in the Sentinel pretends to give all the correspondence relating tr meant chu!Inffes made in that connection. This is not true, however. It omits the letter addrejaed to Mr. Cooper by Dr. Joel T. Barker, h&irr.ian of the Hendrieks conntv Renublican rmntrnl committee, in which Cant.

IT on. W. F. Fishback at College Corner, fecial to the Indiacasolls Journa. College Corner, Sept 23. A splendid meet ing was held here to-night, addressed by Hon. W. P. Fishback, of Indianapolis. Mr. Fishback's speech waa largely devoted to an exami nation of the war record of Qrovsr Cleveland, and a contrast made with the gallant and patri otic service of Gen. Ben. Harrison. Mr. Fishback's comparisons were cutting and were received with' the greatest enthusiasm by the large crowd. He also raid his respects to the State issues, the Coy-Bernhamer fraud, the Insane Asylum scandals, the southern prison frauds and the legislative usurpation and rebellion. Mr. Fiahback's speech was singularly cler and forcible, and awakened the audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm and interest. The fact that for years be had been the Iaw partner of our distinguished standard-bearer and spoke from personal knowledge and esteem, save bis words added earnestnessand influence. It was a fine meeting and a fine speech. K-t-Gnvenior Porter at Kensselcer. fioecfal to the Indianapolis Journal. Rensselaer, Sept. 23. This has been one of the biggest days the Republicans of Jasper coun ty ever knew. Ex-Governor Porter, Geo. W. Harvey and Secretary of State GriSin were pres ent, and their visit was made the occasion of a ratd rally, which was participated in by Republicans from every township in the county ind from several adjoining counties. The disoguished visitors arrived on the 11 a. M. train. and were met by a vast concourse of people. , A procession two miles long was formed, and reviewed bv th ex-Governor. The townships tame in delegations, aud there were hundreds upon horse i act and thousands id car riages and wagons. The novel, Imprealiro and amusing features of the

procession were too numerous to mention. There was a genuine log cabin on a huge log

ging wagon, drawn by two yoke of oxen; a dozen or more four-borso teams, drawing magnificent decorated wagons, loaded with people in fancy costumes, eta. ine town was beautifully decorated with banners', bunting, arches and pictures, and a pole one hundred feet high was raised the evening before. Governor Porter spoke in the afternoon to an immense audience in the publio square, in his usual sound, logical and convinc ing manner. He was followed by Mr. Harvey, the eloquent young exponent of the blessing to labor of the protective tariff. In the evening there was a grand torch-light nrocepsion and display of fire-works, after which Secretary Griffin addressed a orowded audience in the opera-house. To sum it all up, it was a magnificent and most enthusiastic demonstration, and shows that Jasper county is right up to the front in the grand procession that will land General Harrison in the White House aud Uovey in the Governors chair. Big Demonstration at lildge Farm. fpeclal to the Indiaaaoolis Journal. Danville, 111., Sept 23. The dedication of the Harrison and Morton ball at Ridge farm was attended by at least 8,000 persons. Delegations were present from Indianola, Sidell, Kansas, Chrisman, Wesville, Catlin, Georgetown, Scotland, Falrmount, Danville and other places. Tho one from Chrisman bad six large wagons drawn by a traction engine. There were six log cabins and seven live coon3 in the procession. There were any number of bands and drum corps, and all kinds of banners, mottoes, etc In the afternoon the ball was drawn in front of the speakers' stand, in the center of the town, where the chairman, George Dice, regretting the aoence of Hon. J. G. Cannon, Joseph Fifer and others, introduced Hon. Thorna3 IL Nelson, of Terre Haute, who delivered ao eloquent ad dress, u. R. Jewell and several other speakers interested the crowd until night. At night there were at least 10,000 persons in the torch light procession. The ball is sixteen feet in diameter, mounted on flanges or wheels nine teen feet in diameter. In the center of the bill is painted a shield on a blue field, encircled by stare: in the shield is a log cabin, above the shield is the name of Harrison, and below is that of Morton. Above the name of Harrison are the words, -Rid?o Farm, 111.," and below the name of Morton are the words "Old Soldiers." The ball is encircled on each end with bine globes, and in each globe is a golden star. The ball is attached to a wa?on drawn by six whito horses and on each horse was a boy uniformed in red, white and blue. The ball will remain at Ridge Farm until taken to the Paris rally, on the 3d or October. It will then go to Indlanapolis, where it is due on the 10th. General Kerry at Franklin. fpeelal to the Indianaoollj Journal, Franklin, Sept. 23. The Repnblieana of this oity greeted General Berry, of Illinois, with a demonstration to-night that waa as great a surprise to themselves as it was to the Democratio party. What was intended for a mere local affair developed into a most successful rally. A few hundred torches bad been procured for the members of the various clubs, but the torches were far too few in number for those .who desired to march. The Umbrella Company, a prominent feature of the parade, introduced itself to the public, while a large number carried Hags. Be sides the wagons, containing glee clubs, a logcabin, with the old-time trimmings and a J. to coon on top. attracted considerable interest ;nd applause. It was a noticeable fact that a large number of men were in the parade who do not usually take much interest in political demonstrations. This year all the Republicans seem interested and willing to work. General Berry treated bis large and appreciative audience to an able and eloquent address. Considering that no publio notice or the parade was given, and that it was deter mined upon even after the last meeting of tho club, and no special or concerted effort had been made, the rally was a must complete success.

Hon. W. C. Plummer, of Dakota, will be here on the ICth of October, when there will h an attempt to eclipse anything cf the kind ever held here. Republicans, though fighting aeainst heavy odds here, are holding their own and some of the enemy, and cansing the Democrats a great deal of trouble and expense to bold some of their unreliable brethren, who are getting fed, clothed and house rent paid if they will only abide with them till after the election.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Ltnn, Sept 28. Hon. Leo Yaryan, of Richmond, to-night addressed an audience of nearly one thousand people in the City Hall. The meeting was an old-fashioned Republican lovefeast, with Mr. Yaryan to tell of the things coming. The speaker bore heavily on the soldier question, showing with facts and figures the great love this reform administration has for the boys who wore the blue. He bandied the tariff, drawing a comparison between protection and tree trade that was one of the most convincing arguments that has been advanced here this campaign.

Johnson at Winchester, fseclal ta the lndianabolls Jocruak Winchester, Sept 23. Eon. Henry IT. Johnson delivered a ringing political lecture here this evening at the City Hall before a very intelligent and highly entertained audienco of ladies and gentlemen. The address is termed a lecture becauie it combined that clearness and beauty of diction, that force of logic, that power of portrayal and

flow of elocjaence which axe the persuasive overmaetering elements of the best lecturers. His talk on the tariff was unanswerable. He deals in no stinging personalities, but pours forth sueh a volume of facts aa carries conviction. Yesterday he spoke at Baena Vista, five miles southwest of here, to from 4,000 to 5,000 people, and to-morrow ho will be greeted by perhaps double that numberat Bartonia, eighty miles southeast, where one of the largest rallies yet held in tho county will take place.

"COMMON SENSE AT LAST"

That Is What a British Peer Thinks the United States Is Comins'To. Let America Grow Food and England Make Goods for Uncle Sam That Is tho Natural Relation of the Two Nations, September North American Eeview. My Dear : I have just come from the London Carlton Club, where I found your let ter, dated at Washingtoo, and a copy of the Mills bill, which yon were so good as to eend me. I took the liberty of reading your letter and tho bill to a number of -Cobden Club men, and it may interest you to learn that their unanimous verdict was that America has come to common sense at last The Mills bill, on a careful examination, I find to be a somewhat timid and tottering advance to free trade; bnt it shows that America has turned ber back at last to the mischievous teachings of your Websters, and Clays, aad Blaines, whose preposterous "American sjatenr (as they called the protective system) has to Ions taxed your native population, for whail For the benefit really, of an insignificantly small class of American manufacturers acd a horde of foreignera of the lowest class (chiefly Irish), who form the bulk of your manufactur ing artisans, or "mill hands. " Bnt the Irishman of New York, if I am not wrongly informed, ia coming gradually to his senses and will vote largely at the coming elecuon ior Cleveland anc free trade, ir tnis pa true, Encland will verily have been well repaid for her tolerance of Ireland and the Irish. I congratulate you on at least having come to understand that the common-eense policy for nations is the same policy that leads to individ ual prosperity namely: taking care of "number one;" that there should be no sentimentality in business; that the wise man buu in the cheap est market and sells in the dearest, and keeps his business and his patriotlam (to use an American expression) ''in separate bottles." ie Lnehih bave long been amazed at the commercial blindness of America to ber true interests. You forbid your capitalists to bny our ships, although we can build them much cheaper than you can do, and you bave souzht by a pro tective tariff to keeo out onr toaoufaetnres in order to "build up" a class of traders whose ex istence would depend on their power to demand and command higher prices for their goods, br reason oi tno tartrr, than our traders could well afford to sell you the same articles for. Kugland owes ber commercial supremacy to a policy of enuehteoed self-interest rigidly adhered to. She buys raw materials wherever abe can buy them cheapest, and she baa often saved her adult industries, when threatened by the demands for higher wages hv trades-unions. by importing labor from Belgium and other continental countries, and thus enabling ber to defy the combinations and domination of worktngmn, who now seem to rule your industrial world. And, after all. to what good end do your high waes tend! . Ia the laborer or bis family any better off for a piano in bis room or silken fineries for bis wife and daughters) Do not these mock luxuries tend to dangerous discontent! Do not nigh wages encourage these poor people to live above their station, and to look for tho real and unattainable luxuries of the rich! It seems straare to us Eoehsh that your peo ple should bave been willing to make such wasteful and foolish sacrifices to stimulate 'home production." What difference does it make to the consumer where or by whom the goods are made, provided that be obtains them at the world's loweit market ratos! Is it an un wise senttmeotalism wbteh prefers to "patron ize ine home manufacturer when, if toreicnmade goods were used a nomber perbsps an equal or even larger number of manufacturers now employed in production, when displaced would be employed in distribution as import ers, transportets, and sellers of foreign goods at a lower price to the consumer! I do not find your newspapers "uinteresting,' which Mr. Matthew Arootd declares to be the chief defeet in your civilization. I find it ex tremely interesting to see the enthustaam of jcur Republican papers in favor of the tariff mcce or indirect taxation of the whole people in favor of a single clans and section; while eqoally amusing is the nerce denial of vour Demooratio journals that theirs is a free trade party, or that tuey are lccuneu to oeeome xree-traaers. let nothing seems to us more inevitable than that the logic of events will force the Democratic par ty to take decisive grounda in favor of absolute free-trade. But this seems an American trait to deny, when honestly reforming, any intention to be virtuous. Yoor Renubliesn party, I remember, used to protest quite fiercely that it dtd not intend to 'interfere" with slavery in the Stales, yet it now 'points with pride," 1 notice, to its great work in abolishing slavery. So must it be with your Democratia party. It bit taken the first atrp that counts, acd we shall watch here with interest the impending contest sure to end, I think, in the triumph of the freetrade party, led by your present President a man who, in the soundness cf his views, reminds m or the best type of English statesmanship. Sentimentality the specious plea of ''building up" "home" industry and prejudice against Eugiana to watch l am tola is largely due the maintenance of protection in America will be sure to disappear before the relentless and reristlens advance of the great priociple of sslf-in-tereit, whose motto is the wise if notthe chilan.tbropie maxim: Bav cheap, sell dear. Of course England will be greatly benefited bv free trade with America. It will stimulate our tnaoufacturisg interests to a wonderful decree. But this result to us can only come, Americans should remember, by our continued capacity to sell our goods at lower prices In vour own mar kets than yoir own tradesmen can sell with a prout, with all the advantages in their favor of boing on tho ground and without transportation charges to defray before reaching the consumer. I need not say, also, that the abolition of un friendly casom-houses will do more than any one thing U Promote the growth of interna. tional good vill between the two countries and cement the union of the great raee which seems destined to dominate the world during the com ing centuries Another point Experience, as well as polit ical economy, teaches that wealth baa been largely created by the division of labor. This principle neels to be extended. It has pro duced beneficent results wherever tried on a small scali and it should now be ex tended over tie globe. We need a territorial division of lakor. Let each nation do what it best ran do in its present condition, and the result wfd be beneficial to every nation. America, with ber vast and fertile virgin territory, but her comparatively limited cash capital, seems destined by nature to be the great producer of the goods of the world the chUf farmer of the nations. She can now produce more food, and bettor food, and at lees cost, than any country in the old world. Her farmers ask for no protection, and need none. Natnre has protected them by giving them the richest soil it tbe world, uulimited mineral wealth, and groat lakes and rivers to render transportation easy and cheap. Let America devote her marvelous energy to increasing her crops and exteiding ber market for them. England, on the other hand, with limitless capital, with a vat population of mechanics trained by generations of experience, accustomed to coraaratively low wages and industries, both by labit and necessity England, incapable of rais ng food for ber people is essentially fitted to be the chief manufacturer of the world, and, threfore, necessarily must continue to be the chiif customer of America for her natural prodmts. Wby,tben,br an obstructive policy as obnoxious in commerce as in politics eontinue to urge raauref which are calculated to turn aside into alien tncustrtes industries, I man, not the natural gowth of existing circumstances the energy thit should be exclusively devoted to the development ef what I may term the natural order of national development! As we admt your wheat and corn free of duty (to the nan if est advantage of all our people exceptingtne land-owner) why should not you admit cur goods free of all duty to the manifest advintage of all your people "excepting the mill-cwners and their millions of workmen! But the trto policy of America seems to us so self-evident ihat I can hardly justify myself iu wasting time, .even in this informal writing, in stating or urging it Let America grow food and England manufacture goods: that, In my judmen;, expresses the true policy of both of the great branches of our Anglo-Saxon race. Pardon roylong letter; but I have never before taken so mich interest in any American problem and I mow you will pardon me. Here we regard Mr. Cleveland as the ablest and bravest President fn all your "royal line," if you will permit that.

I went tho otbir day tocceof those twast and simple country homes, and vras received with the ssmowbat solemn, dignified and courtly hospitality that characterizes tbe native French farmer when bis castle is invaded. S?on after entering we were handed a cup of black coffee. Tbe pot is always on tbe hearth. There are many such homes in the State. They are a part of Louisiana as it is. In tbe fields around the house were small crops of cotton, cace, rice, corn, sweet potatoes and a row of tobacco, and Hacking the field was & strip of swamp, furnishing the family with fuel aud lumber. The rice the farmer threshes and cleans himself, the corn is pounded for meal in a wooden mortar, tie sweet potatoes are stored in a bin for the winter, the cotton is picked and ginned by the wife, seeding it with her fingers. It is she who spins it and weaves it into cloth, which ahe dyes with peach leaves and indigo, and of this she makes clothing for hev family, blankets for her beds, curtains for hef windows and a covering for her floor. The patcli of caoe gives the family sugar and molasses. From bis stock of horses the farmer cuts baif from their manes and tails and weaves it into ropes, boree collars and harness. His beds be makes of moss gathered in the swamp, and bis wile milks ber cows and makes an occasional pat of butter by shaking tbe cream in a bottle or gourd. The man cures bis own tobacco, and if you visit his little home, made of cypress logs and a mud plaster mixed with moss and kceadei Ly the feet of himself and his neighbors, be will ofer you all these home-made hospitalities. Root Cellars. Tennenee Farmer. It has been said that tbo cellar is the moti useful room in the bouse. If thia be true the out-doer, or root-cellar, must certainly be the most usqful room on the farm. In biily countries or on high lands, when there is no dacgev of its being flooded with water, a root cellar can be constructed at small expense. It can be dec by the farmer or hired-man at odd times aad seed not interfere with tbe regular work on '.he from. The best place for a root-cellar is in s side-hill where the opening, or door, can stand perpenCicular aud can be easily opened in winter. Storing vegetables in a root cellar is far more convenient and chesptr in the end than the usual method of digging a pit and covering vegetables with straw and dirt. There is less danger of losing the crops by f resting, mice and rats eau be prevented from eating the vegetables; and decayed vegetables can be sorted out with little trouble. Hoot cellars also do away with the custom of storing the house cellar with cabbage, turnips and other vegetables which in a great many instances bave cause 1 sickness and death by malignant fevers. No farmer can afford to be without an out door underground store-room acd those who bave none should .commence the construction of one at once so that it will be ready for this season's crop. Fattening Ilcgs. Swine Breeders Journal. The process of converting grain into perk by means of a machine called hog ia by no means a diGcolt one, provided the machine is kept in running order. It is folly to supposs and expect that a hog can convert any and all kinds ef food into pork. It is necessary that, if we want pork, we must feed those foods that will produce ficsa and fat. When hogs arrive at the prcrer age f cr fattening see that everyoce is in a healthy condition and is thriving. The system mutt be io perfect order that food may not b wasted. Don't throw ia a wagon load of corn, reminding your bogs that that is all they will ct for a 'week, but gradually and vtcatic&lly work them up to ? ull fesl"" Do net change the ?iat too suddenly, and especially ; care in changing from green to solid food. Adept regular hours for feeding, aud the animals will soon learn to expect it about that time every day. With old hogs food twice a day is oftea enough, but with young shoats I would advira feeding three times a day. aa by only feeding twice they overload their stomachs. The food should always be given in a clean, wholesome eondition, and never allowed to 6 our. The barrels or vats in which food is mixed should be cleaned atter each feeding, and all surplus food removed. Want of Sleep Is sending thousands annually to tbo insane asylum ; and the doctorsay this trouble is alarmingly ou the increase. Tho usual remedies, wbilo they may give temporary relief, arc likely to do more harm than good. What is needed is an Alterative and Blood-purifier. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is incomparably the best. It corrects those disturbances in tbe circulation which cause sleeplessness, gives increased vitality, and restores the nervous system to a healthful condition. Iter. T. G. A. Cote, agent of the Mass. Home Missionary Society, writes that his stomach was out of order, his sleep very often disturbed, and tome impurity of the blood manifest ; hut that a perfect cure was obtained by tbe use cf Aycr's Sarsaparilla. Frederick T. Trait, 424 Washington street, Boston, writes: "My daughter was prostrated with nervous debility. . Ayer's Sarsaparilla restored her to health." William P. Bowker, Erie, Pa., was cured of nervousness and sleeplessness by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for about two months, during which time his weight increased over twenty pounds.
