—The individual who telegraphed to the Chicago Z7ibune that the republican meeting in this place numbered from 4,000 to 6,000, and the democratic ‘only 500, would make a first-class manufacturer of Southern outrages. It takes a first-class liar to do up campdign business in that style. ~There was a fair' crowd at the Kelley-Baker -joint discussion at Albion, yesterday, notwithstanding the fact that the Standard and Era migstdted the time for holding the debate. - Not being personally in attendance, nor- having a reporter on the ground, we are unable to furnish particulars:” G

—lt is very unbecoming .and illmannered ‘f_q‘r boys to be shouting on the streets “hurrah for Tilden and a rope to hang him,” or “hurrah for Hayes and a rope to hang him.” Such expressions are disgraceful; and ought to be discountenanced. Men are.not hanged in this country on account of political differences. * | - —Hon. Freeman Kelley addressed a large and entliusiastic audience .in front of the Ligonier House last Saturday -evening. = Ie was introduced to the'audience by Dr. Crum, who deliveréd a neat and earnest speech, suitable to the occasion. Mr. Kelley spoke at considerable length, holding his_audience spellbound by his elo- | quence and foree of argument, and eliciting frequent rounds of enthusiastic applause.” He reviewed the -speechi of his competitor from beginning to end.. . Mr. Kelley’s remarks ‘made an excellent. impression, even ‘some of the Republicans in attendance ackowledging surprise .at the skill ‘with which Farmer Kelley handled his subject. While Baker lost votes by his speech the Saturday previous, Kelley gained the confidence and esteem of a- number' who did not vote for him two years ago but will surely wote for him next October.

—Bob Ingersoll, author of the phrase: “The noblest work of man is an honest God,” tells a distressed people that they can get money if they have anything to sell. Thisisa direct insult to the two millions of men who are unwillingly idle, and would be glad to sell their labor for bread for themselves and families. :

—Gov. Dorsheimer, accompanied by his private secretary, J. Stanley Brown, arrived-here on Monday afternoon. They were escorted from the depot by the Syracuse Band, who %hanced to be in town *hat day, getting their new and handsome uniforms, made by Ed.Rapsch,at J. Straus, jr’s., Boss Clothing House. o

- —The Warsaw Jlndianian says: “Apples are sc plentiful - this fall that they are a drug in the market at fifteen cents per bushel, and grapes are 'slow at four cents per pound. Peaches are quite abundant, but of inferior quality. Melons are sold by the load at. the same price pumpkins usually are.” In ILigonier, Concord grapes have sold ‘at as low figures as ‘three -cents per pound. el - —We have neglected, heretofore, to make mention of the fact that our young friend, J. Paul Smith, son of Dr. Smith, of - this place, has been promoted from railroad and express agent at. Milford to the. important ;and responsible positionjof freight and tieket agent at Anderson, Ind. The change occurred three or four weeks ago, and elicited the following notice in the Milford News: *We regard this promotion as only a tardy reeognition of the ability and trustworthiness of Mr. Smith., He has been with us four: years, and while we are glad of his success, we do not like to lose a young* man of his integrity and influence from our midst. J.P.only furnishes another example of whata young man may do if he be honest, persevering and industrious.” .

KENDALLVILLE LOCALS

The Republicans have raised a tall Hayes and Wheeler pole. g ) These are dull times for “ye iocal.” Everybpdy talks politics, and it’s difficult to'pick up-much gossip upon any other subject. , ;o Our citizens are still looking eastward—to the Centennial. Almost daily some one from our midst starts for the great show. S i

. Wait until the burglars’ ransack your house, arnd then purchase a six shooter- and'sleep with the broad-axe under the bed. = )

John Wesley Bixler, of Washington city, has kindly cmidescevnd;ed' to travel ‘round the,’"circuit,‘ soliciting votes for the oflice of Proseeutor. Most men with whom I have conversed prefer lawyer Moody for that office. Ferns are now in the height of their beauty ‘and’ are being gathered by those who admire them and arranged for winter boquets. - . The Allen county Fair proved a failure, financially. Not a dollar will be paid for premiums, I am informed. Ladies should read carefully the political articles in the BANNER, so they can tell their husbands, brothers and lovers how to vote. - { The- Republicans are ;’!iloing ‘s‘omg, ‘very mean electionering ‘against some of our candidates. ~ v

Everybody that goes to the Centennial comes home perfectly satisfied, and say they were well repaid for the time and money expended. Let the Democrats of Wayne,Allen, Swan. Jefferson, Orange, Elkhart, and all the other townships of the county turn out in full force and attend the rally next Tuesday. ~ Who will send the largest delegation ? ' Come in wagons, come on horse-back, come with banners, come in the old-fagshioned way. e /

-There are s:ome' persons of _;foreign birth in our city, and in other parts of the county, who have never \fm,ken out their naturalization papers. They should attend to this matter. at onoe. Let every township organize at once for the Grand Rally in this city next Tuesday. Come in procession. Come with flags and ‘banners. Come with music. Come in the old-fashioned way. Come, come, come. -The great Julian will afford you a rich treat.

| A man must be extremely credulous to believe one half he hears nowadays. Some folks don’t even believe lone half the fabrications they soberly and seriously relate to their friends and neighbors. . i _ | The question about the best time to pick apples is readily answered by the 'small boy, who prefers to engage in such work wwhen the farmer is not looking and ‘there is no dog about in the orchard. - & :

It’s consoling to the laboring man, whose family is almost suffering for the common necessities of life, to know that there is a friend who is ever near to greet him with a smile and extend to him the cordial right hand of fellowship—the politician. -

President Grant was enthusiastically and unequivocally endorsed by the Cincinnati convention. Hayes, the republican - candidate for the Presidency, then cordially endorsed Grant and all his acts.

ALLEN TOWNSHIP. - U : * Allen township Democrats “furned out' en masse last Saturday to nominate candidates for township! offices. | All agree that it was the largest caucus that. has ever been held in the township, over 100 persons being present, and all. voters. This is convineing preof that the Democrats hereabouts are not asleep and will do their whole duty on election day. The ticket nominated is.a good one and will be elected. = The fellowing .are the candidates: TFor Trustee, Lewis C. Schutt; for Assessor, Frank R. Baughman; for Justice of the Peace, James, Craven ; for Constables, Anthony Bluste, Jas. B, Frost, and ‘Geo'w'hty’ - f‘.il P 51‘

THAT DOUBLE RALLY.

‘A Large Crowd and Good Order. Probably three thousand men and women from the surrounding country were attracted into our midst last Tuesday, to hear the speeches of Gov Dorsheimer and Capt. Mitchell in favor of Tilden and Hendricks, and of ‘Gen. Bristow and Tom Nelson in favor of H{ayes and Wheeler. - The best of order prevailed from beginning to end. e LA

The democratic forces were marshalled by Mr. E. B. Gerbel; and his assistants, and the républican forces by Capt. Braden and assistants. Ranners, flags and transparéncies abounded profusion. . .

Lieut. Gov, Dorsheimer, of New York, addressed the democratic meeting, north of Peck’s saw-mill. = He spoke over two hours, and it is the opinion of all with whom we. have conversed that a more logical, argumentative and eloquent speech has never before been delivered in this place.. It was masterly and brilliant from beginning to end; carrying conviction to the hearts of his auditors and impressing them with the fact that they were being addressed by a sincere, patriotic and true-hearted statesman, 1n favor of a just and glorious cause. = e s

i Gov. Dorsheimer was followed by Capt. Mitchell, of Goshen, who delivered one of those earnest, convincing and logical speeches which men of judgment so greatly Tove to hear. ! " The Republicans were addressed by Gen. Benj. H. Bristow, who spoke for nearly two hours in support of the republican party and its candidates. Republicans assure us that the General’s speech gave universal satisfaction to his hearers. T

In the. evening, Hon. Thomas H. Nelson épokg to a large -crowd in Kann’s Hall. Tom is a witty, rollicking sort of 4 stump spegker, and, as a matter of /course, elated his audle.ﬁce with these brilliant flights of oratory. and the side-splifting anecdotes for which he has 'bec_b,me famous. Tom presumes largely upon the verdancy of the masses; hence his absolute recklessness in making charges against the opposition and defaming, Tilden, Hendricks and Williams. ' . jCol. W. C.. Williams addressed | a large number of voters in front of the Ligonier House. While Tom Nelson cracked his jokes in the hall, the Colonel -poured - volley upon wvolley of strong argument into the ranks of the republican party. Ilis speech was a masterly/vindication of Tilden and the Reform party, and a crushing arraignment of tl{e radical party for its bad management of governmental affairs. i P -

Owing to the feeble candition of his . health, Hon. George W. Julian was unable to make the trip from Goshen to Ligonier.” ] - Both sides express themselves highly gratified with the events of the dav. e L ; e

HAWPATCH ITEMS. |

- Business lively. i Potatoes are very scarce. . S ~ Political rallies and, pole-raising is the order of the day. : : - The health of the people in this section is very good, and -doctors plenty to at\,tvend'to their wants when .si(‘::k.

On the 16th instant, there was a grand Sabbath-school pic-nic in Lepird’s Grove; six schools being represented, vizr Salem, Eden, Poplar ‘Grove, Indef)end’e_nc’“e, Springfield, and Northumon. The schools done some splendid singing; also good speaking. The speakérs were Rev. Chapman, lon. John H. Baker, Rev. Hulbert, and Mr. Thomas Low. The Ilatter,

Freeman Kelley, in a brief but earnest and effective speech, in behalf of Reform, Economy and Honest Government, as agencies better calculated to promote the welfare and interests of a united people than partisan warfare, partizan strife; exciting sectional prejudi--ces and pzissibng.* ‘; L e Demoeratic County Central Com- ; : ! mittee. il Washington Tp.......

S .An Inquiry. : - Ep. BANNER:—Js ‘the Col. Bob Ingersoll,who 1s fo deliver the big speech for Eayes and Wheeler at Elkhart on the sth of October, and to hear which the young and old of Ligonier have been especially invited, the same Ingersoll who wrote and published the blasphemous and shocking sentiments contained in the following quotations ? If so, I hardly deem him a suitable person to instruct a christian people as to their political duties: e

The twenty-fourth annual State Fair and Exhibition began Monday. In the; live stock, floral and horticultural departments, the display exceeded anything of the kind ever before seen in tlhie West, but the other features of the show are not destined to be a success.
