PREVENTING HOG CHOLERA.

rilOI'EnLY CAtlED FOR SWINE AUK COXSIDEIIKD HHALTIIY. Too Mnrh Corn Most Not lie Fed Wild Tamlp n Cheap and flood Food An Kapert on Cirlndntonen All A runnd the Farm A Collection of Valnuble Reclpea. In a recent issue of th Country Gentleman "W. C. G." of North Carolina ask. ""What will prevent ho;? cholera?" If he had aakeU what wouhl cure it, I phouM not attempt tr answer, for I have no faith whatever In any of the Fo-c.alleJ cholera euros, and wxoukl about as s.oon shear a hrff for wool as to attempt to dote It with medicine. I believe that the tog, properly brel and wisely fei. Is the healthiest of all farm animals, and If this Is not true the race would Ion? Fince have become extinct, for no other farm animal Las been treated with so little wisdom. How Ion? would a horsa or cow keep well and thrive if shut up in a box-stall and stuffed with euch an unbalanced fat and hoat-rroducring food aa oara? And a hog requires exercise, and bulk and variety In, food. Just as much as any ochar animal. I have been thoroughly familiar wtth 'the hog from my boyhood, having lived In the Miami valley eine 1S33, yeare before ho? cholera was known, and have been raising ho-gn f r more than thlrty-flve years in a region that has beea ravaged by hog cholera, and I have carefully studkd both the ftnimal and the disease. In all these years I have lost but two hogs from cholera, and but once had it on my farm, while on farms adjuinin? mine frequently the disease has almost annihilated th? herds. Feed Too Much Torn. I reached th.? conclusion more than twenty years ago that two thing's .were responsible for the devastation of hog cholera: (1) for many generations It wa:? the almost univere.il practice to breed from young sow3. Thy wtrs bred at taven or eight months old, raUeI one litter and then wer- fattnd. an-1 I have no doubt tint this produce! In time hvgi With Impaired constitutions. (2 The universal fl of h.'s la this great cornproduoing region h is been c om. The pigs were raised on rn, the f nvs were wintered on corn when -carry in y their litters and fittened on corn a!oa and as this 1 a food e.i-c!ally calculated to produce fat and heat, nnd which does n t develop good bona and muscle, it is little winder that it fin illy impaired the constitution of the animal so as to invite dieasä. I be 1 lew all that saved the r3-e from becoming extinct was th? clover fields, on which it wa f und thit hos ould be kept with proiit thrmprh th ummer. For nuny year.? nat there has been a change in tlie ma naieim-nt in on;? Tespect, s.o that now nearly all the p'.gs are raided from mature mothers, and now to secure hog. hardy enough to resist the cholera germ one thing more is necessary, and ''lt hygienic feeding. There mlgiit be 30111 excuse fr the plan 5) commonly f illnwil of feeding corn if it were tvon-om:cal, but the fact is that usually it is mui-h cheaper to give such fod? ns will insure a healthy anlmil than to feed c rn. If you will get a good work on agricultural chemistry and lo k at tin tabl s of albuminoid ration. you will find that corn is 1 to y that Is. corn contilns but one p und of what is known as flesh-formers to nine of fat and heit-Xroduc-rF. While this is a very good proportion for fattening a beef or mutt.m animal. It is too low a ratio to be most, safe .and prifirable for hogs, as 1 to 7 has been found right for fattening them. In my own experience I have always found that I can make cheaper pork, and keep the hogs thrifty and gaining for a longer period, when I feed them liberally with some bulky food with a high albuminoid ratio, and for this purpose I have found hran and pumpkins two of the best and cheapest ef foods. Bran has a ratio of 1 to 4.2 and pumpkins of 1 to 3.3, and by combining these wi;h corn we increase the hulk of the fo.vl and improve Its digestibility. To mike a healthy pig that will give good returns for the food Riven during the fattening process, and one that will not be subject to disease, we must give the young pig a diet with a rather high albuminoid ratio, end about 1 to 5 has been determined to be the host. Every farmer knows that he can make a larce growth and develop a thrifty pig when he has plenty of milk to feed, and milk has a ratio- of 1 to 3.3. The length of tim that a p!g should bo fed on th bone and muscle-forming foods depends somewhat on the age at. which It is to be fattened, but I should advise; not loss than four months, and if the pig is not to be marketed until nine fir ten months old I would keep it until six months oil on a diet with but a moderate rjuanrity of corn in it. A pig that has been fed so as to develop a grxod frame and string vital organs1 can be fed safely on irn, alone for a period of about one hundred days, but I believe It will be fed moi-e economically and can be fed safely and profitable fur a longer period if a moderate quantity of bran or pumpkins can he fcvl with the corn. We must not overlook the fact that to have pigs with a constitution, to resist disease we must bgin before- the pig is born. The food and care of the sow during the period of gestation has much to do with the vigor of the pics. I have a friend, who, for many years, has been producing p!g pork, breeding twenty-five eows and selling the pigs at six months old, and after he began wintering his sows on beets for the bulk of their diet he found a great increase In the vigor of the pigs and a much smaller percentage of loss. .Wild Turnips a. Cheap nnd Good Food. While turnlp3 are not quite so palatable to hogs as beets, they are fully as valuable, and they will soon learn to eat them readily, as they can be grown a3 a catch crop without cultivation and can often be grown and fitted for 5 cents a bushel. In addition to attention to the food the farmer who would have thrifty, profitable hogs should se? to it that in winter they have a clean, dry bed, which should be changed often enough to prevent it becoming dusty. Not too many hog.s should be allowed to sleep together, especially brood sows, and large and small should not hi kept in the same house. If you have a neighbor whse farm lies higher than yours, so that water flows through your farm from his, do not allow your hogs access to It when his hogs are diseased, lor while a hog that is so fed as to hive a healthy stomach is not at all likely to take cholera, even though it pwallaws the perms. I would not knowingly expose them tD it. As some of rny readers may doubt that the constitution of the hog can be so favorably arreted by its f 1 and care, as I state, I will say that this question has b?en settled by careful experiments, by "feedinj? hilf of a litter of pips on corn and the other half on such a rati m as I recommend, and then carefully dissecting the animals, weighing the blood and all the vital orpans, and crushing: the bones In a testing machine, and the d.fTerence In the development of heart, lunsrs, kidneys and bl od -wis largely In favor of the animal fed for lean, and the bon -s sustained a pressure of about 900 pound3, whila those fed on corn crushed at about 30") pounds, and those fed for lean showed about 20 per cent, more lean than the corn-fed hogs. To recapitulate: There will be little danger of cholera and little loss from disease when we breed from mature, healthy stock, give our hog3 clean, roomy quarters, feed the brood sows and the growing pigs with food more bulky than corn and with an albuminoid ratio of about 1 to 6, and with somj variety, and give noma bulky fod while fattening. In addition to this, lose no time, but push the pigs from weaning time till they go to the butcher, thus reducing the cost of the carcass, the labor of feeding and the

risk of loss by accident or disease of any kind. With good stock and care an April pig will hs ready for Ihs October market, or If the price dos not suit then can be fed one or two months longer.

An Kiprrt on Grindstone. A grindstone should be true on Its face: If It Is not so, broad, flat tools are liable to be spoiled. The remedy f r a grindstone thit has lost its evenne33 13 to place, a Hat Iron bar with a sharp edge on tha supporting beim In such a manner that it will strikle the uneven part of the stono at every revolution until the desired form Is again regained. It is necessary that a stone should b? kept wet when In use or it would draw the temper of the tools after a few revolutions, but it Is not a good plan to allow the lower portion to rest In water when at ret. The water soaks that portion and sfttns it. and It soon pets "out of tru?." nnd thus commences a course of troubles which Is prstty hard to either remedy or stay. Hardware. All Around the Farm. Experiments show thit a grain of wheat reproduces fortyfold. Every pound should bring forty. It, therefore, follows that much of our se?d wheat ia wasted when we sow one and one-fourth bushels an acre and get from ten to twenty. ' Though the price of dairy products Is l3w. it is paid twelve tlmas a year, enabling the firmer to hiva cash for his purchases throughout thü year, thereby getting the benefit of cash prices. This ia ona great factor in favor of dairying. Excepting the golden rod, milk weed and rag we?d. all the rest of our weeds have been imported. These foreign are the most troublesome and persistent. If It w M swij one's duty to keep them from the highways these pests would not travel so fast. The Virginia creeper Is an excellent vine f or covering fences and outbuildings. The plants should be cut down to the grund when planted, that the young sh--ots may cling as they grow. In the fall the foliage becomes a brilliant red and yellow. The better condition in which the farm tO'ls are kept, the less effort is required on the part of teams, and on the part of tho worklngman also, yet farmers will use their Implements a whole year without sharpening them. No other mechanic would do this. About one-third of a crop depends upon the soil, one-third upon the reed, onethird upon care and cultivation, but each one of these must be at its best to get full advantage of the others. If cither falls short more than its own proportion of the crop is likely to fall short. At the shmv of the Itoyal agricultural s iciety In England the cost of hives that took prized for "best and most complete fram. hive f. r srereeral use" was th.2Z. $J and $l.53. Thoe taking prizes for "most ci'nipli:e v&i Inexpensive frame hive for cottagers' use" were priced $2.13 and $2.63. C x in milk, it is claimed, will consume nearly f0 pe?i cent, more water than the sr.r.e cows when not giving milk. The New York experiment! station at Geneva fnwiH as an, average of several breed. that each cow drank 1.039 pounds of water and consumed 547 pounds more In food per month. One hus-hej of potatoes is much like another bushel, and so It is with most of the products we sell; but there Is a vast difference between a pound of Fweet, frefh butter anl the mass we run across In the market. No danger5 of confounding one with th-1 other. The field Is wile for one who wishes, to mak a reputation. One can brvme a famous t hicken man, or hog man. or cattle man, or horse man, as he chooses. but h must remember 'that - eo-h road to fortune requires special knowledge. Our fathers made money in a haphazard way, we hardly know how, but In these days of competitive effort this cannot be done. is. line German societies have a central d 'pot where the honey of members is sold at a fixed price agreed upon In July. Each member can sell hi honey privately at any price he pleases. The label of the producer is a guarantee of purity, and .adulteration, subjects a member to expulsion in some societies, to prosecution in others. As with all other work it will pay you to do a little thinking and planning over your door yard. Carefully map it out and carefully plant. A well-seeded lawn with shrubs, roses, evergreens and shade tree can be procured at a comparatively small cose, and it will not require a great amount of work to keep It In good shape. It would be a source of much satisfaction, and not cost much extra labor, to keep an account with each field, with each herd, with the orchard, the poultry, the stable and so on. Money received or expended ran be as easily set down one place as another. There would then be fewer unprofitable crops, and less stock on which money was b:ing wasted. If yoti have large fruit trees you wish transplanted, dig around them toward the close of the summer, cutting off the larger roots at from three to five feet from the body, according to the size of the tree. Twelve months later they will have made so many small roots to replace the larger ones that transplntlng can be attempted safely. It would seem that when Inferior animals are bringing so little in market shippers would quit selling them. But there has never been louder complaint than now of the inferior quality of all kinds of live stock in market, except hogs. Much of this stock, selling at ruinous prices, might have been made attractive by proper care and feed. Young clover should not be pastured In the fali unless it gets forward enough to blossom. If it does thi pasturing 13 better than allowing thei clover to seed. But a still better way is to cut the clover evenly, but not closely. This will leave the roots well protected, will cut down weeds, and will provide the very choicest hay for young calves or breeding ewes. In selling butter consult the buyers and consumers as to the form of package and Chen employ those that will bring best prices for the contents. The average American consumer wishes to have his fancy pleased, and, if he is willing to pay fancy prices for fancy packages, furnish them for him; and remember one thing: In spite of the presence or absence of oleo, no matter whether the market be glutted with it or not, there will always be a paying price for the best brands of butter. A California woman, in an exchange, tells her way of drying fruit and vegetables. She says: "My husband made wooden boxes or frames to fit the hotbed sash, then set them up from the ground on legs, one pair longer than the other, to get tji'i propfcf slope. Holes were cut at the top and the bottom of the box to secure a current of air over the drying fruit or vegetables, which should be placed in tray.9 or dishe3 In the frame. The safh Mhould be placed directly over It. Place the whole in the broad sunlight, and leave until the contents are sufficiently dry to be packed in sacks or boxes. This method keeps out birds and Insects, dust and rain, and requires less care than any other." HOME AFFAIRS. Making Delicious rreaerves nnd Jellies from Crab Apple. Among the first preservings is that of the crabapple. This fruit la the only member of the apple family that is Indigenous to this climate and country, and it is beUeved by botin'.sts to ba the parent of all the great apple tribe, from which the huge pippin, the sweet bough arple and all the luscious and various flavored apples originally sprang. The best crabäpples in market, known a, the Siberian crab, are commonly found, in gardens. They the about the sizd of a large plum, rosy-cheeked and very fair to look upon, and these make the best preserves. The little gnarled crabapple of wild lands, however, 13 fully as good for Jelly. It has a delicious tartness and a fine flavor of Its own, and it makes the best jelly we have after currants. Crabapples should b found In market from about the first of September to the 20th. Under ordinary circumstances the small crabapple will not cost over 25 cents a halfbushel basket. The large Siberian

crabappl may cost 40 or 50 cents a perk. To make the Jelly, wash or wipe th? fruit carefully, cut out tho Mower end and cut off th? stem. Cut each tiny apple In half, and put the pieces of apple In a ston? Jar. (' ver th m closely and set the jar in a large pot of cold water, so that the water w.ll reach up as far as the apples. Urin.g the water gradually to the boiling point and let It boil steadily around the Jar f r eight hours. It needs no care except to have the water renewed as it bolls down, lly this slow, steady process of cooking the clear Juice is drawn out of the crabapple. Any less time in the cooking is a mistake. Wh-m th3 crabapples are cooked in this way, take the Jar out of the water and let the crab-apples rest over night. Then, when they are thoroughly cold, strain them, pressing out every particle of Juice. Measure the Juice and allow a pound of sugir to every pint of it. Uoil the Juice down for twenty minutes; then add the sugir. and as sunn as the sutrar is melted, test it. If it Is a firm Jelly pour it into bowls aj. once. If it is not cook it a few minutes longer. It is one of the easiest as well as one of the mvt delicious Jellies and never falls to "come." It is a good plan to strain the Jelly as it is poured into the bovl3, to Insure its being clear. The Jelly should be perfectly firm as soon as It cools. Then cover it with brandy papers and seal It up. It Is an excellent jelly for cake and to serve with desserts, but Tt is not as suitable to serve with meats as are red and black currant, damson and barberry Jellies. To make a crab-apple preserve, uting the red Siberian CTa1-appIes, which may bs easily peeled and cored, begin by weighing the fruit, allowing a pound of suRrar to a pound of fruit. Then carefully peed them, cut them in half and remove the stem, flower end and core. Save the peel and core. Drop the peeled halves into water, acidulated by using the Juice of a lemon or two tablospoonfuls of pure wine vinegar to every gallon. Put the peelings and cores in a porcclaln-lined kettle, with half a cup of water to every pound of the fruit weighed out. Cook the pfclinps and cores very' slowly in this water for abut an hour. At the end of this time strtin out the Juice and use It to make a sirup with the sugar. There should be about a cup of the liquid to every pound of sugar. Let this sirup come to the lulling ioint, and then cook as many pieces of the crab-apple as you can without crowding them. A3 soon r.s they are clear and transparent and tender enough to be easily pierced with a broom splint, put thtm into Jars, and continue the cooking until all the pic-ces are cooked, lioll the sirup down a little, then strain It over the pieces of preserveed crabaj'ples. There should be Just enough to cover them, and the sirup will almost turn to Jelly around the fruit. Ynlnuble Recipes. rr.derberry Pie Allow one pint .of black elderberries, one tablespc-nful of vinegar, one-fourth, of a cupful of sugar, and one laHespconful of flour to each pie. Pake with two crusts. Green Tomato Pie Peel and slice the green tomatoes. Line the phi pan with paste flnl fill It with the tomatoes. Add one tabiespoonful of vinegar, one teaspoonful of flour, and half a cupful of sugar to each pie. Flavor with nutmeg and put small bits nf butter over thy top. Put on the top crust, and bake. Plum Pie Line a pie pan with rich paste. Sprinkle three heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar over the bottom, and one tablesioonful of flmr. Remove the seeds from ripe plums, put In one pint of plums, for one pie, and sprinkle two tablospoon-ful.-l of sutrar over them. Put In one tabiespoonful of water, cover with the top crust an l bake. Apple Custard Pie To three cupfuls of stewed apples add three-quarters cupful of sugar, and 1- t them stand until cold. Mix the bcate-ri yolks of six eggs with 'the apples and season with nutmeg or cinnamon; stir in one quart of swot t milk and lastly the beaten whites of p'.x eggs. Fill your crusts and bake without cover in a moderate oven. Sweet Potato Pie Roil the potatoes until tender, then ecl and slice them. Line a pie pan with rich paste. Put in a layer of jtatoe.s, sprinkle with susar and small pieces of butter, then another layer of potatoes, with sugar, butter and a little nutmeg or cinnamon. Use two 'tablespoon fuls of butter and two tablespoonfuls of sugar to each pie. Pour in enough sweet milk to fill the spaces between the potatoes. Cover with paste and bake. Baked Apple Dumplings Make a good biscuit dough. Peel tart apples and take out the core with an apple, corer. Roil out small pieces, of tho dough, place an apple on each one and fill the center with sugar and nutmeg. Press the dough around each apple, put them In a bake pan. pour a llttla boiling water over them and bake In a moderate oven until done. Serve with sweetened cream flavored with lemon, or vanilla, or with any kind of sweet sauce preferred. Apple Fritters Make a batter as for pancakes, using three cups of flour, five beaten eggs, one quart of sweet milk, one teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat the batter very hard, then add three large apples, pared and sliced, one teaspoonful of sugar, and one teaspoonful of cinnamon. Select apples that are easily cooked, or if they cannot be obtained, cover with water and cook until half clone, then drain off every drop of the liquor, and when cold, stir Into ithe batter. Fry at once in large spoonfuls. Squash Pie 100! the squash and cut it In small pieces. Cook until done, using very little waiter. Mash it fine and to two cupfuls of squash add one cupful of sweet milk, one cupful of sugar, the yolks of four egg?, well beaten, a pinch of salt, one-half teapoonful of grated nutmeg, and one-third teaspoonful of ginger. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, line a pan with paste and fill it. Bake until done. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, add one-half cupful of sugar, spread it over the pies and leave them in the oven until the meringue 13 a rich brown. Peach Dumplings Peel the peaches, cut in halves and take out the seeds. Prepare the dough just as you would for biscuits. Roll It out thin and cut In pieces just large enough for a peach. Place the fruit on, press the edges of the dough together around it and drop them into boiling water. Let them boil until the fruit is done, which will be in about fifteen minutes. Take them up. put in a buttered pan, and! brown In the oven for a few minutes. For sauce, tike a pint of sweet cream and whip It until light. Add onehalf a cupful of sugar and a teaspoonful of essence of lemon.

CAMPAIGN IN PROGRESS.

TALL YCAMOnC OF TI1K WAHASII' IS IIRARD. Turple nt Shelby vilie MntUiervs nt I'eru My er nt IJberl Itell nt lloonville IJrcmUnhlre nt I'.raill Mutsou nt Franklin Reports from Various Other Places. SIIF.LDYVILLE. Sept. 20. Special. This has been a great day for the democrats of Shelby county. Three days ago Senator Voorhee-s consented to speak at the horn? of Governor Hendricks, and the committee arranged to have both of Indiana's senators here today. The city was decorated with flags and all classes turned out to hear them. Early in the morning delegations led by bands were pouring into the city and by 1 o'clock over five thousand people were assembled at the court house park. For two hours the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash" held his vat audience as by mrrgic. He divided his address Into two topics: "Tho hard times and their causes," and "What the present administration had done toward alleviating the country of its disasters." As to the flr.st, he charged that every law passed since 1SS1 to 1S03 waa enacted by republicans and at no time during that period had the democrats an opportunity of checking them in their efforts to loot the country. They had issued two billions of bonds, sold them at 50 cents on the dollar, accepted currency for their purchase and demonetized silver, thereby compelling the people to pay over three times the amount realized on the bonds. He said the democrats had beten doing their level best to undo the vicious legislation of the republican party. They had broken the back None of McKinley ism and want a little more time and they would wipe it off the fac. of the earth. Senator Turple spoke to an immense crowd at the opra house at night, paying sieelal attention to state Issues. Both senators wire in excellent trim and expressed themselves as confident of democratic success. Ft was the greatest meeting of the campaign and the democracy of old Shelby, under the wise management of Judge K. M. Hon, who is chairman of the county committee, will roll aip ?00 majority in November. Mil. BI'nKUARDT ALL RIGHT The Democrat of the Ninth District t'ndemtnnfl Their IlualnenN. TIPTON", Sept. 27. Special. In your issue of Monday, the 24th, a communication from Lafayette does the Hon. A. O. Burkhardt, candidate for congress from thi3 district, great injustice. It says, in referring to his candidacy: "And AI onzo G. Burkhardt of Tipton was supposed to be the democratic nominee." In ths issue of The Sentinel of Aug. 20, 1SP4, will be f juii'i a communication from Frankfort stating that Mr. Burkhardt had received a unanimous nomination' at the. hands of the Ninth district democratic convention. With these facts before tho writer, why say "Wa3 supposed to be the democratic nominee?" The convention that nominated Mr. Burkhardt knew at the time, of his nomination that he was a populist. They nominated him because they knew, ns was stat -Hi by the gentleman who placed him in nomination, that Mr. Burkhardt entertained enlarged views on all questions now involved in national legislation; that he stood squarely ujxon and was a defender of the principle of "equal and exact justice to all men, exclusive privileges to none;" that he was opposed to a tariff that builds up trusts, combines and monopoli-i at the expens? of the government and the p?ople; that he was In fav :r of a tariff fur revenue, so adjusted that tho burdenä might be lifted off the shoulders of the tolling millions, and at the same time the government receive no Injury thereby; that on th? silver question he was sound, standing sr;uarely upon the principles expressed by Indiana's distinguished and patriotic" governor in his speech to the late democratic state convention, "that silver should be restored to Its old position occupied by it prior to Its cunning and outrageous dethronement by the republican party in 1S73, and that we should proceed to the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either, adjusted by such safeguards of legislation as will insure the parity of metals;" that be was In sympathy with the working man in his efforts to Fecure a fair share of the wealth created by their labor, and believed that justice to the worklngman demanded that, for faithful and efficient service, he should receive wages sufficient to support himself and family in comfort and 'nable him, beside providing for the education of bis children, to lay up something for his old age. and that Justice to lab r is not antagonistic to capital; that he is in favor of such legislation as will protect labor from the encroachments of capital, and .shall cause the two to strike hands in co-operation, in which labor is recognized ss am on;? the legislators, with power to force and exact justice for herself; that he is in favor of the income tax and in favor of taxing greenbacks, and believes that every union soldier who served his country and was honorably discharged should, regardless of wounds or disease, be entitled to a pension. The convention knew that he wa.s with the masses against the classes: that he was In favor of equality against privilege, democracy against aristocracy, and in favor of government by the ballot against government by the dollar and bayonet. They also kn?w that Mr. Burkhardt was one who, to use the language of Graver Cleveland, regards "public olfiee a3 a public trust." It was for these reasons he received the unanimous nomination at the hands of the congressional convention. What more can any democrat ask? There Is no dissension in the democratlo ranks in th? dUtrict over hi3 nomination. The democracy are united, working with a will, battling for their rights, and for the reason that Mr. Burkhardt stands as th? champion of the people's rights he will receive their vote3 and be chosen to represent them In the next congress of the United States. MYERS SPEAKS AT LIHEHTV. He Has Many Admirers in In Ion Comity. LIBERTY, Sept. 2.1 Special. The Hon. W. R. Myers spoke to the democracy of Liberty and Union county tonight In the opera house. The large room was packed with an intelligent and attentive audience. Mr. Myers spoke nearly two Ivours and In a matchless manner showed the great and latinsr pood of demociatic legislation In Indiana for the laborer and poor man. lie ably presented tho evils c-f MeXinlcyisrn and Shermanlsm and the greater benefit of the democratic tariff over the .McKinley tariff. He touched upon the g.xod accomplished and the revival of business from the work of our last congress. Mr. Myers is nothing If he Is not eloquent (and tonight he was at his best), presenting the issues in a clear and masterly minncr, liol.l.ng his vast audience with rapt attention fnm beginning to close. He was frequently greeted with loud and prolonged applause. Tho meeting tonight is an ovation to the captain, for here h-. can count his admirers by the hundreds. In all parties, and the meeting further demonstrates the fact that Union county democrats ar? wide awake and will ba heard from in November. imOOKSHIHE AT IHIAZIL. Conrt House Full of People Splendid Meeting. BRAZIL. Sept. 23. Special. The Hon. E. V. Rrookshire spoke here tonight to an immense crowd. Long before time for the speaking people began to gather

In, and by S o'clock the court house was filled to overflowing, and many had to g away without hearing th" speech. Mr. Brookshire set forth the political issues r.f the day in a dear, e msise manner, dwelling at length upon the tariff and upon the money question. The meeting tonight w.as certainly the best ever held in this county.

tiOV. MATTHEWS AT ROCHESTER. Met nt tlie Doput o the Militln Lnrpre Meeting. ROCHESTER. Sept. 30. Special. Th e speech of Governor Matthews at this p.Vce yesterday marked the opening of the campaign for th? democrats. The governor arrived nt 11:20 a. m. and was met at the depot by the militia in full uniform and conducted to the armory, where he delivered a brief address to the beys in blue and indulged in a general hand-shake. At 1:00 he was conducted to the speaker's stand in the public square, where he was met by the largest audlt-nee ss en there since his last visit.
