Ralston Did Not Speak at Fountain Park Thursday.

S. M. Ralston, democratic nmoinee for governor, telegraphed the Fountain Park management Wednesday morning that circumstances had arisen by which it was impossible for him to fill his engagement at the park Thursday, and failing to secure a speaker of equal note the speaking was by local talent, including E. P. Honan of Rensselaer.

IMr. Ralston gave no explanation, we understand, but as he was on the grand stand that collapsed at Indinapolis Tuesday afternoon at the Marshall notification meeting, it is presumed he was so upset by the •ajccldmt that (he felt unable to speak at the Park. He was unhurt, but, no doubt suffered considerable of a nerve shock.
