MAN ABOUT TOWN.

To Terre Haute Republicans It looks as if Chairman Gowdy had placed the party in an awkward position in the matter of the call upon Governor Matthew for a special session of the legislature to enact another apportionment measure. The friends of Mr. McKeen believe that the action was taken for the benefit'of Mr. Fairbanks, but that in stead of being a benefit it will react and do much harm to the candidaoy of the Indianapolis gentleman. There seems to be little doubt that the policy was adopted on the advice of the men who are supposed to have charge of the Fairbanks campaign. If the committee were again to pass on the proposition the vote would be against it. The sentiment is steadily growing that a blunder has been made. In this connection Mr. Filbeok, of this city, is entitled to credit for persistently and consistently opposing the action. He voted against it even after all the other twelve members of the committee had been hypnotized into voting in its favor. Had the members of the legislature been given more time in which to send in their responses to the request for pledges which were to be presented to the governor it is prob» able that Mr. Gowdy would not havf secured more than a dozen. As it was he did not have a majority in favor of the full scope of the plan. The average member of the legislature felt as 4t he would be bolting his party if he did not sign the pledge. When he received it tn formal manner from the state committee he looked upon it as being the well-gonsidered action on the part of the leaders of the party in the state. He had no thought that it was not the outcome of the united counsel of the leading men in the p&rty, and be would almost as soon have hesitated to abide by a party oaucus as to refuse to sign the pledge. After the first few days the signed pledges came in slowly and with modifications. Barely a majority of Republican members auswered in any way favorable to the plan, and if there had been time, as Baid before, very few would have joined in the movement. When the state oommlttee met to take the action there was no consultation with those representatives of the party in the Btate who might have been expected to oppose the aotion. The first pronounoed objection oame from this part of the state, and as soon as the reasons were made known for the objection there was a noticeable spread of the sentiment that it was bad policy. Many men of supposedly good judgment always are in tbe habit of doing as others do rather than depend on their judgment, and when they saw that there was opposition they gathered oourage to assert that their own judgment had been against the Gowdy polioy.

I have tried to learu wherein the Fairbanks people expected to gain an ad Tantage by carrying out the programme. lere was an idea that having learned ttnt a majority of the nineteen holdormRepubltoau senators were for Mr. Mcseen, the Fairbanks managers con-

olud»d

that under a new apportionment

all oL' the fifty senators would be eleoted this/ year that the twenty-five hold|Ojr'*ro would be legislated out of office, bat. this was a preposterous supposition.

It had been aooepted as a matter of course that under the apportionment law enacted in 1896 the hold-overs would serve next winter. In what way, then, was Fairbanks to gain a pointT So far aa I oan learn it was thought by his boomers that the Republican party oould malte a ten strike by putting the pressure on the governor to oall a speolal session. Coupled with thedemandon him was to be the threat of going into the courts to set aside the a6t of 1886, the one under whioh an eleotlon otherwise would be held and thereby oreattng that "chaos" whloh has been frequently referred to and for which, it waa contended, the governor would be held responsible. The belief was that the governor would reoonslder his announced deoislon not to call an extra session and the Republicans would thereby be credited with making a suooesafui effort to provide the people with a law under whioh they could secure fair representation in the

You will make no mistake When you select a

'-1

legislature. Insofar as the credit for this result would attach to the sponsors of the committee's programme the Fairbanks boom was to receive theexoluslve benefit. Only this and nothing more. It is not to be said that the Fairbanks managers are wholly reckless as to the welfare of the party in their seal for their candidate. It is always fair to oredit an opponent with some good, in his purposes. They believed the scheme gave promise of being brilliantly successful. Now that it is generally recognized as a blunder the dlsoredlt logically attaches to those who expeoted to be rewarded by the party.

This week the Rev. Dr. Holmes and tbe Rev. Mr. Katt have afforded the spectacle of quarreling ohuroh representatives. Last w^ek Dr. Hickman had found in the ESpiscopal church Kirmess an occasion for a display of his power of attack. It has been suggested that if the Terra Haute clergymen and leaders in the churches are spoiling for a fight they would do well to try to take a few falls otft of the Old Boy. There is a question as to the vulnerability of some of the objeots of attack by these clergy men, but there are many objects here in Terre Haute whioh, if the clergymen are not afraid, could be assailed without question as to the righteousness of the assault. In this connection I am re minded of the ocoasion for Senator Zach Chandler's philliplo on Jeff Davis. The sturdy old Republican leader for two or three days had listened to Republican senators quarreling among them selves, while the Democrats were the smiling auditors. Old Zach got the floor, and began:

uMr.'

President—

Thirty years ago 2 sat in this senate and saw Jefferson Davis plotting treason And he went on for ten minutes with tbe remarkable and audacious assault on the southern Democrats who at the time were claiming to be "in the saddle" again. Before be had concluded the faces of tbe Democratic senators were white with rage, and on the Republican side there was unity and eagerness for a fight with the oommon enemy. While the Michigan senator was receiving congratulations in the cloak room he said: "There are enough Democrats to fight with, and I thought it was time we quit fighting among our selves." 11

Two or three days of much colder weather will follow. About the 8th to 11th is a storm period that will bring marked ohanges in the thermometer and barometer—the former rising and the latter falling—and storms of rain and snow will pass across the oountry. Almost without exoeption March 10th, 12th brings many eleotrioal and atmospheric disturbances. The reactionary period is central on the 14th and 15th, with new moon in apogee on the 14th. Within 48 hours of that date, after if not on it storms of great energy will occnr in many place* on land and sea. A oold Wave will follow. The 19th to 22d is the passage of the vSfnal equinox blended with a regular storm period.—Watch it! Oold, for the season, will follow. The 26th to S8th will bring many many storms. Moon will be full and in perigee on the 88th. This means many, violent storms and gates on and about that data. I

Rabbi Alex. Lyons, for several years in charge of Temple Israel, left last night for his new charge, in Albany, N. Y., where he is to beoome assistant rabbi In one of the largest Jewish congregations in the east. The members of Temple Israel gave him a farewell reception last night, and the crowd that assembled there gave evidence of the high esteem in whioh he is held by the people generally, without regard to raoe or religion. His parting remarks were touching, and brought the tears to the eyes of his hearers. Terre Haute will 4ose much in the departure of .Rabbi Lyons, for he was a practical worker for 'good, whose place it will be hard to fill.

Nothing I used did me any good and I only grew worse till I was thoroughly discouraged. Fortunately a friend suggested a trial of Oslkk's Syrap of White Pise, Wild Cherry and Ju and Its use soon brought the needed relief.
