Horr spoke here this afternoon to an audience of farmers and" business men, about two thousand being in the rink. Mr. Horr made an exceptionally strong speech r.nd was enthusiastically recerved. He spoke lor an hour on. the tariff question and said that if the tariff Issue was a dead issue the Republican party was dead; that the main question before the American people to-day is whether we shall continue to buy our goods from Europe or whether w i Khali manufacture them at. home and thus provide a market for the products of the farm at home.

The most enthusiastic .meeting held during the campaign was addressed by "Judge Waugh at the city hall last evening. At McKinley Club headquarters a parade was formed, : headed by the local band and drum corps, followed by the McKinley Club, 250 strong, and marched to the residence of J. A. Hall, where Judge Waugh was taken into a carriage and escorted through the principal streets to the city hall. A large and enthusiastic crowd had already gathered. The ' speaker had hardly begun his discussion when he was interrupted by the entrance of a delegation of 150 or more from Arcadia, , headed by the drum corps of that place and the McKinley Club. Deafening applause and cheers greeted the visitors, and the Arcadia Glee Club entertained the vast audience with a couple of campaign songs. Judge' Waugh then resumed his speech, holding the crowd tor two hours. He exposed the deceit and fraud which leaders of the Popocratlc party are practicing on the voters, for the benefit of the silver mine owners, and" showed that the present hard times are .due to the ruinous free-trade policy of the Democratic party. The meeting was -a- surprise even to the local managers , of the Republican campaign. The Popoerats have abandoned their early campaign tactlcsiof reporting influential Republicans as espousing the silver cause, and are now circulating as false reports, that many of those wearing McKinley buttons and having McKinley pictures in their windows are doing so to hold their positions in the various factories. The free-silver cranks here are wholly demoralized by the numerous additions to 'the sound money cause. This township, which has heretofore been a Democratic stronghold, is enthusiastic for McKinley.

The Old Shady Quartet, of Lebanon, set the audience wild with its music, a new song, compiled by R. S. Potts, of Thorntown, entitled "Joseph's Coat," being cheered until the pawmhl, rafters rattled. The song deals with Mr.' Joseph Cheadie's political course and is the glee club"s hit of the ' campaign. Mr. Landis's meetings have all been largely attended.

Where the wagon came from or who the drivers were is a mystery. The body was that of a middle-aged woman of medium height, with rather a large body. The hair was of a dark color. Two front teeth were out. By direction of Dr. W. A.

SENATOR TILLMAN'S WIFE. She Advises Him for Ills Own 4iood :t nd Trfes to Polish lllin. Charleston Letter in New Y'ork Surf. A talk with Senator "Benjamin R. Tillman when his mind is for the time being relaxed from the plots and cares of ivolitics will reveal in great measure that power about him which compels his extensive personal following throughout South Carolina. Tillman, when under the influence of political or any other public excitement, becomes violent or fanatical to the extent of losing completely the subtle element of his personality. Uncultured, and at times ignoring every usage of polite society, he is often as rough and coarse in private life as he is in the heat of a political battle. But It is then that he is strongest in the exercise of the wonderful magnetism with which he dominates and subdues those about him. And in spite of his usual want of refinement he observes closely the bearing of the "best people," whom he affects to detest, and on occasion can assume a semblance of gentility. He was guilty of the grossest social blunders when first raised to a position of prominence, and thereby won votes from the masses. But he was too shrewd to lose the opportunity of bettering his manners, and he now practices many of the customs that a few years ago he scoffeu at as the "absurdities of the elite." Mrs. Tillman has more ambition in this direction than her husband, and having a mind cultivated by hard and incessant study and a marvelous influence over him, she has been able to improve him considerably. She assists him in all his public affairs, and he rarely makes an important move without first consulting her. He was never known to act against her advice but once. This was on the occasion of his acceptance of a pass over a railroad. He had made a bitter fight against the railroads, and had denounced the former Governors, who had been, as he alleged, in league with them against the Interests of the farmer. Mrs. Tillman argued that the acceptance of the- slightest favor would cast a suspicion of Insincerity upon him. and that he would be censured even by his strongest adherents. But Tillman used the pass, and Mrs. Tillman's predictions were at once verified. He was blamed, and for the first time in his career his-motives were questioned by his own party. Mrs. Tillman reads much, devoting herself especially to politics and history. It is laughingly asserted by her intimates that she has read and remembers everything. She serves as a work of ready reference to her husband and supolies the dates and statistics with which his speeches abound. Tillman's f.vorite hour for grve conference with his wife is at dusk, when he returns home exhausted with his own vehemence of the day. He overturns a chair just in the "center of the wide hall, and, throwing off his coat over its back, he flings himself full length on the floor to catch the stray whiffs of breeze. He rests his head upon his coat as a pillow, and then calls long and loudly for Mrs. Tillman to come and talk to him. Often she has looked up some desired information for him, the early accident to his eye necessitating caution against overtaxing it. She plans with him the campaign of the next day, while he lolls and tosses on the floor. At times a business messenger, sometimes an intimate friend, calls, interrupting them. He does not observe the formality of rising and resuming his coat, but will sing out in a jolly rough-and-ready way to come on and talk, then and there, if they must. Tillman wears upon most occasions, even at evening receptions, a long black frock coat, and pays no attention to the shiny elbows, the slight soil and careless tie of his cravat, or the dandruff upon the lapels. His hair is seldom, if ever, smooth, and he is constantly disarranging it by pushing it back with heavy strokes. It falls immediately over his forehead again, and seemingly annoys him by its great length. His mouth, when not curled" bitterly into hard lines, as is usual, relaxes into well-chlseled curves. His favorite attitude is to stand with folded arms, his head turned slightly in order to level the good eye upon one with a searching gaze. The influence of this eye is so overmastering that the other is not missed. He assumes to bend from his eminence to look down, which he does effectively, having the advantage of height over most people. One would Imagine he had studied this pose. He will pay close attention, to the words of another, but does not hesitate to interrupt with an enthusiastic or violent affirmation or denial. He is vastly in earnest about the smallest affair or peculiarity of his own. He is ready and even pleased to discuss his eccentricities with any passing acquaintance, especially if it be a woman. He discourses in a loud tone, and does not modulate his voice to suit his surroundings. He defends his views vigorously, and plunges into fierce argument to convert others to his own way of distinguishing right from wrong. He considers nis unique taient or nurung abuse and profanity at the heads of his enemies as an art, and laughs over It and declares that it is "why, second nature." A young woman recently remonstrated with him upon the sinfulness of this habit, reminding him of an unwarranted volley lately indulged in. He whooped with mirth, and replied: "Well, cursing and damning and swearing are my safety valve." He then explained this "safety valve." as he continued to call It, as- his one vice. He declared that all men must and did have at least one vice, that those who appeared too good for it were only worse than the rest. He called attention to the worst faults or the several vices of the luckless young woman's best friends, and vowed that his own fault was not so harmful or wicked. Ho had studied this question, he said. The gambler, the tobacco user and the drunkard all Injured their health and wore out the brain. And their vices often cost money that their families needed. His "damning and bad words" did not wear him out physically or mentally, but "did him good," and assisted him to work off a bad temper. He acknowledged that he dare not abandon his own pecu'.iar vice, as in that case he would be apt to adopt a more Injurious "safety valve." lie urged that his vice was even reasonable, for he had considered the entire list before finally making a choice, and no amount of religion could ever cure his "cussin'." Sons of Presidents. i New Y'ork Evening Recorder. The return of Alan Arthur recalls the fact that the sons of ex-President are plentiful, and are heard of in politico. "Buck" and Jesse Grant are in California. and in politics on the silver side. Jesse has become a Populist, much, to the disguest of his brother. Colonel Fred. The sons of President Hayes all live in Ohio, and are Republicans, though they take no hand in political affairs beyond voting. Buchard Hayes, the oldest son. is i.earing the fifty mark, and is a quiet office lawyer in Toledo. Scott is in the electrical business in Cleve land, as is Webb, the second son. Rutherford married in Columbus some time ago, and is a banker. Miss Fannie Hayes, the only daughter, spends much of her time in New Y'ork or Europe, and the old Hayes home at Fremont is in charge of strangers. The sons of Garfield live In Cleveland and at Mentor. Harry, the elde. is a lawyer, who cares nothing for political honors. James R. is the opposite, and is a State Senator, with an ambition which will put him in Congress two years from now. Irwin and Abraham are just finishing their studies, and Mollie long ago married Stanley Brown, her father's clerk. Benjamin Harrison's son. Russell, is now a street railway manager in Terre Haute, and Mrs. McKee lives much of the time in Boston and at the Hotel Netherlands in this city. Robert T. Lincoln is the oldest son of a dead President, and he has often been talked of for President. Tie once made the remark: "D a Mugwump," and Thomas L. James -thought that expression platform enough for Robert T.' to run on as a presidenital candidate. Sien Ificnnt Differences. Philadelphia North American. The observing public must have noted the difference in the modes of prosecuting the canvass adapted by the principal contending parties. One candidate is sought at the quiet country home by tens of thousand.-.. to whose greeting he-responds In the words of a statesman. The other is traveling through the country in search of audiences. The attitude of McKinley Is that of a statesman and a self-respecting citizen. That of Bryan Is the course of a shallow demagogue, who neither respects himself nor the general public. The brief Fpeeches of the Republican candidate bristle with sentences which the people catch up and make the keynotes of the campaign. If anybody can repeat anything yet a!d by Bryan in any of nis Harangues in tne nature of a keynote that does not make against 1dm and his cause, we should be irlad to nf u in print. Thus the jjeoulc

seek McKinley at his quiet home, nnC Bryan goes about stumping for the highest place In the gift of the American people. That is a distinction with a difference, and such a difference as exactly defines the characters of the men and the merit of the causes they represent. The one is a man of no pretension, but a statesman. The other is a demagogic blabber, who attracts the support of all cheap demagogues, and his candidacy is an insult to the American people. Bryan ntitt Ills Managers. Washington Special. No concealment Is made of the fact .that Mr. Bryan believes that his campaign has been mismanaged by Chairman Jones; that he has small faith In the loyalty of Chairman Faulkner, of the congressional committee, and that he secretly harbors the idea that Sen. -r Gorman, who is acting as advlsor-in-chlef behind the scenes, would be delighted to see him defeated. Senator Faidkner was to have met htm hern yesterday for important political consultation. The Senator was with him for a few minutes after hi arrival Saturday afternoon, and appeared with him on the platform when he began speaking, but that was all. He did not see him two minutes in private, being interrupted by the attentions of the

- pony-snaicncrs. as the memoers or tne local reception committee have been characterized. The committee appeared fo think It was appointed for the purpose. of taking charge of the body of candidate Bryan during his stay in Washington and preventing everybody from having any kind of intercourse with the same, private or otherwise. It is possible that Senator Faulkner, becoming disgusted with the otiicio usness of the "body-snatchers." fled to his home because he saw he would have no show at .Mr. Bryan. But, however that may be. it is certain that Chairman Faulkner left town very soon after candidate Bryan's arrival and returned after the candidate's departure. Senator Gorman had important business at his home in Maryland, and was able to return to Washington only to-day. Candidate Bryan left for Delaware late last night. . Enslish Prisons. London Letter. I think the upshot of all thld comment and counter-comment, adverse and otherwise, on the release of the Irish dynamite prisoners, will do soma good to Mrs. Maybrick. There is a very strong felling now that the possibilities should - be accepted and the wretched woman released. A good deal of correspondence is appearing in the papers from ex-convicts regarding the awful punishment of penal servitude In England. The persistence with which the silent system prevails is generally agreed to be a strong factor In softening the brains of convicts. A chaplain, writing from what he himself saw during his many years' administration in Pentonville Prison, says: "I did, indeed, feel for one poor dylni? prisoner, who lay in his bed alongside of a less sick companion, with a warder on guard to prevent any speech between them a punishment which sureiy Is greater than any crime deserves." .

Grand Primrose nnd West. The brilliant and entertaining minstrel show under the ever-famous name of Primrose & West, opened at the Grand last night to an audience that filled the house to the doors. The show thia year contains a number of catchy features In music end vaudeville, and Is almost one continuous laugh. George Primrose hs a new darky scng called "I'll Make dat Black Gal Mine, and George Wilson is supplied with a barrel of parodies. The great aggregation of black and white-face performers will give a matinee to-day and a performance tonight. "Tho Hustler" closes at the Tark to-day, with two performances. Thornton's Elite Vaudevilles wind up a successful week at the Empire to-day. Mr. McKlnley's Name. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Numerous magazines and papers continue to speak'of the Republican nominee for tho presidency as William McKinley, "jr."; worse still, the lithographs distributed here, and, I presume, elsewhere, contain a facsimile of McKlnley's signature with "jr." Is not this case of ignorance a parallel to the "Constant Reader's" ever-recurrent question of the meaning of 16 to 1? Suppose some electors should vote for 'William McKinley, jr.," would their votes be legally counted for William McKinley? A. C. H. WILLIAMS. Salem, Ind., Sept. 25. A Defect in the Proceedings.
