MltoaliM* Waaler, u4 Help Wa*twl. The DAII.Y NEWS will print advertisements of persons wanting work or situations, and of those needing help of any kind, leiUurut charge—such advertisements not to exceed 30 words. This is proposed because it is believed it will aid many who need and desire work, and we cordially invite all interested to avail themselves of the means offered. It must be remembered that letters through the mail are not delivered to

initial* only.

If initials are

used, the letter should be directed to the care of some individual, linn, or postoffice box, and if for city delivery, the postage is two cents. The DAFLY NKWS ha« boxes at the office for the reception of letters addressed to its care, and such letters will lie delivered only to the advertiser holding a check for the box numlier.

A NEW IDEA.

The Daily News Call Boxes and Messengers. To facilitate the collection of city news, as well HS to place advertising patrons in clow connection with the office., the publishers have placed Call Boxes at different points throughout the citj\ each of which will be visited several times during the day, from,7 o'clock AM till 2:00 by the Messenger Boys of the DAILY NKWS. These Boxes have been put up for the purpose of affording a place of deposit for information of local news, and we cordially invite any person who has knowledge of any matter of public interest happening in his or her vicinity to write out the facts and drop it in one of our Boxes. Attached to each Box will be found tablets of paper. Sign your name to your communication, for the knowledge of the editor only, as a guarantee of good faith on your part. 11V

items

not

of the value of waste paper, and will be treated a*ordingly. The advertising patrons of the DAILY NKWS will also find these Boxes a convenience, as they can drop their favors therein, and thereby save a walk to the office.

Communications, orders for the DAtLY NEWS by carrier or mail, advertising copy, or information of any kind intended to reach the office, can be handed to the DAILY NEWS Messenger Boys, as they pass to and fro through the streets. They will be known by their blue caps with DAILY NEWS in white letters on the front, and Message Pouches of light-colored leather. The names of our Messenger B«ys are: QEORGK M. SPARKS and WILLIAM I. POWER- They are, while on duty for tho DAILY NRWS. and wearing the badge of the paper, its accredited representatives, and we trust they will, in their business relations, merit the commendation of our patrons, as well ss ourselves, for attention to their duties.

This is swift punishment, but the circumstances seem to demand it. The incident has developed the fact that General Melikoff wears- a breastplate under his garments, and this alone saved his life. On the trial the assassin declared that every third man in St. Petersburg was his accomplice, and, although he had failed, others would succeed. The revolutionary committee has sent a notice to General Melikoff demanding that he vacate his office within a week. Altogether, his position cannot be called a pleasant one. —The storm which slightly touched this city about 10 o'clock last night, caused considerable destruction at Indianapolis.

There are thousands of voters who believe "this is a Nation with a big N" who are not Republicans. In other words, pure love of country is not confined to members of the Republican party. Many and many a good soldier works and votes with the Democracy, and however much we may think they are in the wrong we dare not doubt their patriotism.

THE INTERVIEWER.

NltarkrUord, streiirht nud Hunter ('jtiurht on the Fly. Likewise Our Own I'ol Tom. XelMtn ami

JK. I*. Braurhaiup.

The gathering of the Republican politicians at Indianapolis, yesterday, was "nuts" for the pencil-shovers. A Journal reporter tackled

GKX A. I). STREIOHT.

"Well. General, how is the boom*" "Booming," was the cheerful reply. "1 think I will oe nominated and elected, although some of my competitors .seem to have different views." "What are your chances?" asked the young man ironi the Journal. "1 think they are excellent." was the reply, "and growing better every day. Of course, it is impossible to tell with any degree of certainty who will be thenomiuee. but from what I can learn 1 feel very hopeful." "In what parts of the State do you con sider yourself the strongest?" asked the reporter. "Probably in the northern part, although I ha've very gratifying assurances of support, from all over the State. Even in General Hunter's and General Shackelford's own districts I understand that 1 will have a considerable support. In other parts of the State several counties have already instructed for me. At present it looks as if 1 might get the nomination on the first ballot, out of course we can't tell yet. I am making a vigorous canvass m3rself, for it has been my experience thai the candidate who is in the hands of his friends will be left in their hands when the votes are counted. I am using all the honorable means in my power to secure the nomination, and if I fail 1 won't be a sore-head."

OEN SITACKKI.FOHD

Was "next." "How do you regard your chances, General?" "I think they are excellent," was the reply, "and growing better every day. In fact, I feel greatly encouraged, and so do all my friends, am constantly receiving assurances of support from parts of ihe State where I least expected it. I have not been around very much, but my friends seem to be looking after my interests admirably in my absence." "What do you think of the strength of General Hunter and Colonel Streignt for the nomination?" was the next feeble inquiry. "I know but little about their relative strength," was the reply. "They are both very estimable gentlemen and personal feiends of mine, and either would make a very good Governor. I am a candidate for the position, and, of course, hope to secure tlie nomination, but in case 1 do not I will work just as willingly for the ticket, no matter who heads it.'

GEN MOIITON C. HUNTKlt

was the next victim. He was looking in good health, and appeared to have quite recovered from his recent illness. "General," said the reporter, "are you going to get the nomination for Govern or?" "I prefer to let the convention decide that matter," replied the General. "I really don't know whether I will be nomi nated or not. For the present I prefer to keep my opinions to myself. One thing, however, I will say, and that is that 1 am working for the nomination, and my chalices ah?, probably, on a par with those of the remaining candidates, to say the least." "Of course, you regard the success of the party as assured in the coming election?" was asked. "If I did not I Would uot be a candidate for Governor," was the reply. "I am sure that we will be able to carry the State by a decided malority, and in that opinion I am supported by all the leading men of the party I have met." "IIow is your health at present was the last qnestion. "Very good, with the exception or my voice. It is growing rapidly better, however, and in a few weeks I think it will be as strong as ever.'*

A gentleman from Mr Shoemaker's paper, the Sentinel, rushed frantically in search of

E, V. BKAUCHAMP.

of Terre Haute, late Consul to Aix laChapelle and Cologne, who in reply to the interrogatories said: "Vou can say the Eighth Congressional District is for the strongest man, and that man I think Is Grant"

Here the reportorial hook got caught on a snag, and it was some little time before he succeeded in bringing

THOMAS 11. KKLSOX,

of Terre Haute, to the surface, but he was finally landed, and in reply to the questions said: "I think a majority of the Republicans in my district are for Blaine nevertheless, Grant has a large following of enthusiastic supporters. There are also a few for Washburn and Sherman. Blaine will receive the undivided vote of Indiana at Chicago, In my opinion. Gar field I consider in the light of a dark horse, with a good show for the nomination."
