Governor Matthews arrived at 10 a, m. and, after a bri :t reception at the depot by the Patricksburg band, wis conducted to the residence of Capt. J. S. Meek, an old personal friend, where he wa3 very pleasantly entertained, and whose guest he was during his visit to Spencer. For over an hour a public reception was given In which thi governor was kept busy handshaking with hi many friends who were of all political parties. At 11 o'clock the govern jr was treated tj one of those pleasant surprises, which b?-peaks much for the liberality of all jurticM in Spencer and the popularity of the governor hinnrlf. Prof. Richards, superintendent of the city schools; Prof. Guiney, county superintendent, and the city school board called ar.d escorted the governor to the city sch xls where, upon x hastily improvij"l platform, the governor was Introduced by Prof. Kichards to about 500 sao.d children and their teachers.

The democracy of this city and vb-inity turned out In great numbers la?t night at l)urand's hall to list n to what iroved to foe a ringing spec h on the many political issues of the campaign by Senator Stuart of Indianapolis. It was ibe first democratic speech to which our people had been favored thus fa r in the campaign, and for nearly two hours th.' speiker held hi audience without a f : 1 1c. as ':ie ably discussed the national and state Issues to their entire s itisf ti tioii. The Illustrations on the workings of the unholy McKinley tariff law were highly interesting" and very apt and instructive. The isame can be said as to the mann, r that the silver and state issues were presented. The stealing of the presidency by the Louisiana "gang" in 1 sTO. who are now raising wueh a h 'vl a'h nt the sugar bounty 'being taken from them was eloquently and f 'fcibly p:v-v:ned and brought forth great applause. Th- meeting wa.s productive of much good, and. though Jaspar county has a f v hundred republican plurality, the (.ii.:m! and populists having united upon a ticket, expect to carry the county and retire the republican court .house "ring" to the shades of private life.

From the testimony ii is hard t toll what the outcome will be. The eleventh Illntrlct. PLUFFTOX, Oct. ::. Special. Today's Herald contained a dispatch dated at Indianapolis statin? that the Eleventh congressional district would be carried by Steele. Steele has been popular in this district at times prior to this, 'but there have b.en many things since his last race for congress which render him very unpopular with many classes f persons and which make him decidedly odious .to some. His career as governor of Oklahoma is being freely discussed in the district, and his action as a director of the Xati nl military home before the congressional committee, when he advocated the plan of having all pensions of soldiers In the homes paid to the directors except $1 per month each, to be used by them for the benefit o? such soldiers as they saw lit, thus constituting the. directors a board of guardian.. This prop-osiii-oii docs not meet the approval of the soldiers at the different homes and has ruined his chance. of getting the soldier vole, which in previous races cast almost solidly for him. Martin h conducted a great campaign, ppeakn.g in every county In the district and everywhere greeted by good audiences and a splendid show of entnusiasni, while Stee'.s has abandoned speech-making and is now resorting to the "still hunt" o popular with republican thi year. Steele was oh iliciiged by Martin to J tint debate, out rt fused to accept. If external indication.c .unt for anything Martin will receive at the Last th' majority given him two e.us ago. which was 7.".3. Wells, Adams. Ih.mingtori. Ulackford, Jay and Miami counties -will all give deniicratic. majorities ranging from 1.700 in Adams t 1-V) in Hlackford. Steele will carry Grant and Wabash by n.iL more than the majorities given twe years ag i. The Eleventh district of Iniliin.i will return a democratic representative. The following letter was printed in the I'.'.ulfton News this evening from Martin: "To my political and personal friends in ih" Eleventh congressional district: "On Thursday night, Oct. IS, I was suddenly seized with a severe illness, involving my light lung and liver and causing me such pain and weakness as has Kii'lg -d me to remain in ihed to this date under a physician's care. My canvass wa a pleasant on? and I hopr to yet resume i; before the close of the campaign, but of this I have no present assurance. I'nder Che circumstances I appeal to you to give my candidacy for congress your especial care and to leave no h morable means untried to Insure success. I have entire confidence that we both cm and will succeed. Yours Only, "A. X. MAPTIX." Voorhcrs nt Linton. LINTON'. Oct. 26. Special. Greene county never saw such an Immense gathering at a ijolitlcal meeting as the one held yesterday in this city. Senator Voorhees was the stellar attraction.' He has always had splendid crowds at his meetings In this coun'.y, but the outpouring of democrats was such ato Uli him with pride and he made one of the most effective speeches of th campaign. It was an open air meeting, being held In a grove, and the crowd was variously estimated, f.,000 being the average estimate. There were no delegation., but Hie people poured out en masse. Remarkable was the attendance of old men, who are taking an intense Interest in the campaign, and they were more than satisfied at Senator Voorhees's explanation of Ihe vital points at Isue. Vor two hours tiie brilliant orator held the crowd and when he' finished there were cries for more. Many could not get within the sound of hi voice and there was general complaint because of the fact that tiioe In front continued there and refused to move out. Once a man got an advantageous position he camied there until the senator was through. The mines were c losed down and there were a large number of miners present. They were satisfied and declared that they would get u. line. An lrew Humphreys, the candidate for senator from Sullivan and Greene, was the chairman of the meeting and introduced Senator Voorhees In h happy mann r.

The dissatisfaction that existed during the summer by reason of the delay in the passage of the tariff bill has all evaporated like the morning dew, and democracy will present a solid front to the enemy at the polls.

The senator was in splendid voice and spoke for on hour and u half upon the silver and tariff questions. Almost every sentence was interrupted by applause and the wildest enthusiasm prevailed.

Madison county democrat were never more determined or enthusiastic than they are in this campaign. Heed and MeKlnlej lam. U is worth noting that ex-Speaker Reed has not thus far denied the substantial accuracy of the report which represented Itini as practically disavowing McKInleyLsm. All that hfl has said thus far i that he did not authorize the publication of his views and did not understand that he was being interviewed for publication. This rakes no question of veracity on the part of the Interviewer, but only one of courtesy. And, spite of Mr. Reed's apparent indignation, we cannot help thinking that he is really relieved at the oxjivfiire of his lack of sympathy with McKlnleyLsm. It has to come out sometime, or the. Ohio major would be having things all his own way; and its coming out "unbeknownst." as it were, makes it easier for the ex-speaker. He gel all the benefit of the fast that he has had enough of McKln'.eylsm. and at the gam time by his partial denial gets th credit of having carefully concealed hi feelings out of consideration for hts rival. An astute man is Thomas Brackett Reed. Detroit Free Press (dem ).
