Republicans were somewhat disappointed last night because of the failure of Gen. Lew Wallace to fill his engagement here, but Hon. Ira J. Chase and Senator A. M. Kennedy tilled the engagement admirably. They were greeted by the largest audience that has listened to anv political speaker here this campaign, and the greatest enthusiasm was manifested. No speakers have made a better impression than they; none did more effective work. The "fighting Parson" formed a warm friendship with the soldiers, and his remarks concerning pensions lent them new energy. The visit of these speakers was the closing demostration of the campaign, and it is generally believed that the Kepublican party was never in better fighting trim than cow. The Democracy is losing ground every day, and the F. Si. B. A.'s are having a dithcult time to hold their own. Daviess county will go Republican by a fair majority. . Meetings In Montgomery County.

Scan lan. of Chicago, spoke here last night in Third Kegiment Armory in the interest of the Kepublican party. The crowd which greeted him was largo and enthusiastic, and his well-made points were heartily received. He presented his ideas in an entertaining manner and held his audience closely for two hours by bis masterly address. He paid his respects to Hon.1 John K. Lamb, of Terre Haute, whose speech here on Wednesday night was an apotheosis of the rooster, by exposing the bad record ox tne rooster irom me nine we nrss met bim in ancient history. He ended his speech with an eloquent apostrophe to the "proud bird of freedom" that soars at the head of the Kepublican ticket. Democratic Bolter Draws a Crowd. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Knightstown, Oct. SI. Hon. John Lockridge, candidate forjudge on the "straightout" Democratic county ticket, addressed a good-tized audience at Bell's Opera-house this evening. Mr. Lockridge was the canuiuaio on ice original uemocrauo uc&et lor prosecuting attorney, but when his party lorined the combine with the People's party and nominated the People's ticket he was left out in the cold. He is now making an animated light for the otiice and against the Democratic managers, whom he classes n3 traitors, on a ticket vailed tho regular Democrat ticket, with two roosters as the . emblem. Mr. Lockridge is a good talker and his speech was fall of sound, logical argument against the conspiracy which is being carried on by the Democratic bosses to defeat the Kepublican ticket in this county. He will carry with him a large nuaiber of the true-blue Democratic votes. Mr. Wesner at Jamestown. Spec!! to the Indianapolis Journal Ledanon, Oct. 31. lion. C. S. Wesner addressed the Kepublicans of Jamestown, this county, this evening. He confined his remarks to the appropriations made by the Democratic Legislature of 1SS9, 6howing that they bad used nearly once again as much money as any other session of that body. He had a copy of the acts of that year, and as he turned from page to page and read how they used the people's money it was enough to disgust any honest-hearted Democrat. He produced proof that every time the Democrats were in power the State debt was increased, while the Kepublicans as often reduced it when it was under their control. The Lebanon Gieo Club was in attendance. Speaking at Koyerton. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EoYEKTo:r, Oct. 31. Joseph G. Lelller and John F. Meredith addressed the people of our town last night on the political issues cf the day.

Calvin Cowgill and editor Nelson Hunter, of the Wabash Times. But two issues the State debt and the tariffwere discussed. Mr. Cowgill opened in a speech of an hour and a quarter. Mr. Hunter followed in an hour and a half, and Mr. Cowgill closed in fifteen minutes. Mr. Cowill'a protection argument was a masterly one, and the reply of Mr. Hnnter consists! in the statement of half truths, misrepresentations and evasions.

As the campaign draws to a close every hour brings addi tional evidence of increased Kepublican strength for the entire Kepublican ticket. from Amburg to county school superintendent. The Kepublicans are all in line and enthusiastic after a stirring, though not by any means thorough, canvass, and they will poll a full vote. The splendid addresses made by Congressman Can non and others have had a good effect all down the line. He will not only have an mdreased vote in this part of the district, but the two Kepublican legislative candidates in the Thirty-second district. Cosier ami ?teal, will be elected, and Coles county's entire Kepublican ticket will undoubtedly be successful by handsome majorities when the votes are counted. Douglass county's Kepublican candidates are all conceded to bo away ahead m tho race against their conipititors, and as to the State ticket in the Fifteenth district there is no ques tion but Amburg and hd wards will lead by majorities which will break the record for years past. Coles county's two hundred scnooi-ieacners ana tne inuuence iney exert will see that the little school-house is properly protected by the ballots of free and progressive American voters.

WILL SOT STRIKE. I Conservative Ideas Prevail Among Indiana Miners The Vota Nearly Unanimous. Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 3i.' The miners' State convention adjourned at noon to-day. Tho conservative element ruled the meet ing, which was for the purpose of deciding whether a strike should be inaugurated or not Tho convention decided to stand by the contract signed in the spring with the operators, and will not demand an advance in wages. It is now believed that the diffi culty in Indiana is settled until next year. It was practically a unanimous vote by which it was decided to live up to tho contract signed last May for the year. The block-coal scale is for 75 cents a ton and bituminous 70 cenU. The miners had asked for 10 cents more for the last six months, beginning to-morrow, and a strong etlort was made to inaugurate a strike. The miuers to-day passed resolu tions to the eflect that since they signed mo Bcaio m jiay tue coal trade had re cuperated. and that the block-coal operators be asked, in justice, to grant thciremployes a share of the present prosperity in the trado. Tho resolutions assert that the miners were more or less forced into the engagement of last May, but that thy "determine, for the purpose of maintaining that unsullied character for honor in maintaining our contracts which we have earned in the past, to abide by our present engagement until the 1st of May, lbdl, but we do hereby declare that unless we aro permitted the privilege in the future of making semi-annual contracts, or of making contracts annually, to bo in a do in the month of September, we warn and notify the operators of Indiana that wo will refuse to sign any engagement which will not allow us to participate in the profit which accrues to tbe trade during the fall and winter months."

HOW THE COUNTRY HAS GROWN

Census Bureau Bulletin Showing Num ber of r?ople in the United States. Our Population Swelled to 62.4S0.540, an In crease of 12,324,757, or 24.57 Per Cent. Daring the Past Ten Years. Figures That Show Previous Enumer ations in the South Were Not Correct. Why the Comparative Increase is Xotso Great as Expected Count by States Annual Report of the Director of the Mint. Washington, Oct. SO. The twelfth of the series of census bulletins was issued to-day on the population of the United Staees. The bulletin says: The population of the United States on J une 1, lbOO, as shown by the first count of . 1 L'i. persons ana ianmies, exclusive or wane persons in Indian lerntory, Indians on reservations and Alaska, was 62,480,540. These figures may be slightly changed by . . . ;l i! . later and more exact compilations, uuisucn changes will not be material. In I860 the population was 50,155,783. The absolute increase of the population in tbe ten years in tervening was 12,324,757, and the percentage of increase was 24.57. In IbtO the population was stated as i$S,5."y,371. According to these figures the absolute increase in the decade between 1870 and 1880 was 11,517,412, and the percentage of increase was 30.08. Upon their face these figures show that the population has increased between.lSSO and 18U0 only 727,345 more than between 1870 and 1880, while tbe rate of increase has apparently diminished from 30.08 to 24.57 per .cent. If these fjgnres were derived from correct data tney would be disappointing. Such a reduction in the rate of increase in the face of the enormous immigration dnriug the past ten years would argue a great diminution in the fecundity of the population or a corresponding increase in its death rate. These figures are, however, easily explained when the character of(the data used is understood. It is well known, the fact having been demonstrated by extensive and thorough investigation, that the census of 1870 was grossly deficient in the Sonthern States, so much so as not only to give an exaggerated rate of increase of the population between 1870 and 1880 in those States, but to atlect very materially tho rate of increase in the country at large. These omissions were not the fault nor were they within the control of the Census Oihce. The census of 1870 was taken under a law which tho Superintendent, Gen. Francis A. Walker, characterized as "clumsy-, antiquated aud barbarous.'. The Census Otiice had no power over its enumerators, save a barren protest, and its right was even questioned in some others. In referring to these ommissions the Superintendent of the tenth census said in his report in relation to the taking of the census in South Carolina: It follows as a conclusion of the highest authority, either that the census of 1870 was grossly defective in regard to the whole of the State, or of some considerable parts thereof, or else that the census ofjl880 was fraudulent." Those, therefore, who believe in the accuracy and honesty of the tenth census and that was thoroughly established must accept the other alternative ottered by General Walker, namely: that the ninth census was grossly defective.'. What was true of South Carolina was also true in greater or less degree of nil the Southern States. There is, of course, no means of ascertaining accurately the extent of these omissions, but in all probability they amounted to not less than 1,500.000. There is but little question that the population of the United States in 1870 was at least 40,000,000 instead of 38,558,371. as stated. If this estimate of the extent of the omissions in 1S70 bo correct, tho absolute increase between 1870 and and 1880 was only about 10,000,000, and the rate of increase was not far from 25 per cent These figures compare much more reasonably with similar deductions .from the population in 1880 and 1810. Omitting from consideration those States in which the census of 1870 is known or is presumed to have been faulty, the rate of increase between 1870 and 1880, in the remaining States, has been very nearly maintained in the decade between 1SS0 and 1800. lieferrinst to the principal table of the bulletin, the census of 1870 is known or is presumed to have been deficient in nearly all the States of the south Atlantic and southern central divisions, while in the north Atlantic, northern central and western divisions no evidence of incompetence has been detected. The population of these three last-named divisions in 1870, 18S0 and 1890, the absolute increase for the two decades and the rate of increase is sot forth in the following table: Increase in Percentage Year. Population, imputation, of increase. 1870......... 20,270,351 1880 33,639,215 7,368,804 28.1 1890 42,693,082 9,051,167 26.9 It will be seen that the absolnte increase between 18S0 and 1890 exceeded that between 1870 and 18S0 by 1,085,603. and that the proportionate increase was but 1.2 per cent. less.

Continuing, Mr. 1'orter says: The general law governing the increase of population is, that when not disturbed by extraneous causes, such as wars, pestilence immigration, etc., increase of population goes on at a continually diminishing rate. The operation of this law in this country has been interfered with in recent years by tho late war, which, besides the destruction of a vast number of lives, decreased the birth rate very materially during its progress. It was followed by an increased birth rate, as is invariable under similar circumstances. Tbe normal rate of increase has been, and is, greatly interfered with also by immigration, and it is difiicult to estimate the eilect of this upon our rate of increase. Approximation may, however, be reached by the following process. Between 1880 aud 1800 5,UK,C13 immigrants entered this country. Of these a part have returned to their homes or migrated elsewhere. A considerable proportion, probably about one-eighth, have died. On tbe other hand, children have been born to them, and it is Erobable that the births have counterslauced the deaths and the emigration, so the net influence which immigration has exerted upon oar population is approx

imately expressed by the number of immigrants. Subtracting this number from the numerical increase during the past decade, there remains a trifle over seven million to represent the actual increase of inhabitants of this country in 1S00. The rate of natural increase is therefore not far from 14 per cent. Similar calculations for tho population in 1560 and the decade preceding would, of course, be valueless, on account ot the imperfectness of the census of 1870. The following table, showing the rates of increase during the last three decades in the south Atlantic and southern Central States, illustrates the imperfectnesj of the census of 1870 in a somewhat startling manner: Per CI. of Increase.1800 1870 1880 States. to 1870. to 1880. to 1890.

Judgments for 8149,000 Entered Against Leopold Brothers & Co., of Chicago. Chicago, Oct 31. The clothing trade was surprised this morning by the failure of the firm of Leopold Brothers & Co., manufacturers and wholesale dealers in clothing at the corner of Quincy and Franklin streets. Twenty-six confessions of judgment were entered up against the firm in the Superior Court for sums Aggregating $14y,000. The house is one of the oldest, if not the very oldest, in the city, having been established thirty years ago. The senior member of the firm is Henry Leopold, who has been rated as a millionaire. Mr. Tennv, the firm's solicitor, said: "The firm has for a considerable time been struggling to avoid insolvency, and in their efforts have strained their credit with their friends to a very great extent. The close money market prevented any further continuance of this policy and necessitated an acknowledgment of their true condition, which precipitated the failure. There is no bank indebtedness, and none of the creditors are Chicago people. Many of those to whom the firm is indebted are comp&raiivelv small tradesmen in other cities, and all these have been provided for." Mr. Tenny estimates the stock on hand at about 200,000. No assignment will be made. Tbe firm employed 250 men. A member of the firm estimates the liabilities at $325,000, fully covered by the assets. Other Dullness Troubles.

A horrible accident occurred here in the Edgar Thomson steel-works last night, which was due to the careless bravado of the victim, a colored laborer named Robert Washington. It was noticed by Superintendent Pierce, of the Carnegie Electric-light Company, that Washington had often grasped the electriclight wire when the current was turned off in order to show the men he was not afraid. He was warned by Pierce that he would be caught, Pierce telling him several times that he was doing a very foolish thing. Last night, at 10 o'clock, Washington was seen to climb cp several steps aud reach out his band towards the electric-licht lamp. Some one shouted a warning to him, but it was too late. His hand touched the wire, and in an instant his frame stiffened and he fell to the Hoor below, dead. Not a muscle twitched and his death must have been instantaneous. His right hand .had touched the wire, and his left, clinging to an iron rod, had completed tbe circuit. There was not a mark on the man except on the right hand, where a slight scar was found where he had grasped the wire. Preaches and Hun a "Jag" 3I11L Chattanooga, Tenn.. Oct. 31. So far this week J.

GAUSS WANTS MORE LIGHT. With Reform Ideas Ue Thinks the City Should Pay Out a Large Sum for Gas and Electricity. One of the Democratic "icformv members of the City Council has a scheme on loot which will appall his constituents, to say nothing of the rest of the citizens of Indianapolis. He wants to increase tho city's bill for light from about S4S.000 to something like $S0,G00 a year. This 'retrench and reform" councilman is Charles A. Gauss, chairman of the Council committee on public light. At the time the present electric-light contract was awarded the Sentinel and News were highly indignant because the bid of the Fort Wayne Jenney company was not accepted. This bid was a sweeping affair, full of "glittering generalities," but with nothing substantial to tie to in the way of a bonil for the faithful performance of the contract's conditions. The sixtydollar bid, secured after some lively competition among several companies, was and is remarkably low, and Indianapolis is today paying much less for its electric lighting than any city iu the country. However, this fact does not justify any such scheme as Councilman Gauss proposes, which is that the citv advertise for bids for 500 electric lights, 1,200 gaslights and 500 vapor lights. When he plumped this out at the joint meeting. Thursday night, of tbe light committees of the Boanl of Aldermen and the Council, he created something of a sensation. Gauss made no explanation of why it was proposed to increase the number of electric lights so largely, nor did he apparently have any idea as to 'just how much territory could be lighted under tho plan proposed. The proposition was not well received by Jlessrs. Hicklin, Smith aud mithers. Mr. Blackwell had little to say, while Mr. Stechhan was absent. Under the present contract, which expires Dec. 31 of this year, the city pays $00 a year each for 112 electric lights, which burn all night, a total of $6,720. Under tho Gauss plan between four and tivo times as many electric lights would be put in, at "an aggregate cost of something like STjO.OOO. for according to that gentleman it will be difficult to get a much less figure than $100 per light. He cuts off 1.155 gas lamps, but adds 200 vapor lights at practically the same cost as gas. As one electric lamp distributes about as much lignt as four gas lumps, and Indianapolis is regarded as a very well lighted city, Mr. liauss does not cut off enough gas lamps by four hundred, aud why he takes on two hundred additional vapor lights, when they are to cost as much as gas, and are far more trouble and much less satisfactory, it is hard to see. The astute chairman has not thought it worth while consulting the finance .committee as to whether there was a likelihood that an increased amount would bo apportioned for city lighting next year. He proposes to move right along and take on enough electricity to make everything as light as day in and around the city, even if it does cost more than $20,000 a year in excess of what T a I:- . luuiunapoiis is now paying, lie nas sent out seventy-five communications to other cities, askinc for information as to the price they pay for lighting by electricity ana gas and has received ufty-two replies. CULLINGS FROM THE COURTS. Transfer or a Heavy Damage Salt Against a Railroad Company. Tte suit of John P. Berry against the Baltimore &, Ohio Railroad Company for $20,000 damages for injuries received in a collision, Nov. 27, 1SS9, on that road, near Plymouth, O., was yesterday, on federal court. Berry charges that his in juries are or such a nature as to permanently disable him. Verdict Set Aside. In the case of Solomon Tratcsky vs. Sam uel .Marks et ah, Justice of the Peace Smock yesterday refused to entertain the motion of the defense to issue a judgment according to the written verdict. The plaintiiTs attorney then moved that the jurors be sunt back and allowed to make out a verdict in accordance with the conclusion they allege they reached. This also was not entertained, and on his own motion the court set aside the verdict and ordered a retrial of the case. Notes from the Docknts. A motion was made yesterday for a new trial in the caso of Henry A. Kuske against Susie Howell, in which tho jury recently gave the plaintiff' a verdict for $1,500. The last will and testament of Louisa II. Knox was yesterday admitted to probate. Tbe property was bequeathed to the two children of the testatrix, Frank W. Knox and Etta M. Matthews, in equal parts, subject to the life interest of their father. Mrs. Julia A. Fowler was named as executrix.
