BIG DAY FOR MONON.

Democratic Congressional Convention To Be Held There July 25. —George . Fred Williams of Massachusetts, To Be Present and Address the Meeting. Arrangements are being made by the democratic state central committee to have the remaining congressional conventions of the state held during the last week of July, in order that Hon. George Fred. JWilliams of Massachusetts, whose reputation as a speaker is national, and whose devotion to his party has caused his name to be mentioned prominently in connection with the vice-presidency, may be present to speak at all the meetings. To this end the Tenth district convention will be held on Wednesday, July 25, at Monon. Many of our readers have read speeches of Mr. Williams and know that he has few superiors as an orator in the whole country, therefore everyone who can possibly do so will avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing this gifted gentleman at Monon on the 25th. His fame is a sufficient guarantee that an immense crowd will flock to hear him from all parts of the district, and no doubt Monon will have one of the largest gatherings of people on that day ever seen in the district. Excursion rates will probably be given by the Monon route for this important occasion? Further announcement will be made of the meeting later.
