Our fellow-townsman and citizen, Congressman Arthur H. Taylor, is frequently spoken of during the last few weeks as a possible and logical candidate for governor of Indiana. The honors could not be bestowed on a loyal democrat and a hard aud conscientious worker for the masses than Mr. Taylor. During his official career as a representative in congress from the First district he has showed his colors and stood by his constituents at every point and won their highest esteem, although in the landslide of votes he was defeated. Yet the returns sho.w that he held the voters to him and iu many of the counties rau ahead ot his ticket. He is a strong campaigner aud has a happy faculty of making friends with all classes of people. The following is from the Indianapolis News of the 19th insf., from Washington City: There is already a well-defined movement among the friends of Congressman Taylor, of the First Indiana district, to boom him for the democratic gubernatorial nomination in Indiana. Mr. Taylor made an exceptional raoofbr Cougressthls year considering the disabilities under which the democratic party labored. He is serving his first term in Congress and is yet comparatively young. It is his present intention to continue in the law practice in the First district after his term in Congress expires.

Hon. ‘Frank B, Posey delivered a splendid address. At the conclusion of Mr. Posey’s remarks it was announced that refreshments would bo served. This was indeed a great feast for all, and it consisted of fruits, cakes, coffee, and all other eatables that the ladies could possibly think of. Anu it might be said th^t the large crowd present fully enjoyed the spread. After the refreshments had been served, Miss Anna Read rendered a splendid recitation, which evoked much applause. This was followed by a drill by the ladies under command of Capt. A. W. Selby. Speeches were made by several other members after which the closing ode was sung and the joyous throng dispersed to their; several homes well satisfied with the evening’s social entertainment. THE SALOONS. Will Make a Demand an The Aegis* lature <• Perform Aatl-Elec-tion Pledges. The Indiaua saloon-keepers’ organization has begun a vigorous campaign, for an amendment to the liquor law which will enable them to keep their places open till miduight instead of 11 o’clock, as at present, and a systematic effort is being made in all counties to secure pledges from the uewly elected members of the uext legislature to that end. The saloon-keepers say the republicans, out of deference to them, refrained from putting a temperance plank in thestate platform,, and thus brought

to the support of party a large part of the liquor elemeut which had not voted with it before. They claim that the party is under no obligations / to the temperance element, and the saloon-keeper's influence can be per* manently secured if the legislature will make the desired amendment On the other hand, the members of ° the Woman’s Christian temperance onion will ask for a bill requiring that the injurious effeots of alcohol shall be taught in the public schools and that there shall be no legislation granting any new privileges to the saloon element.
