Conrjressman Johnston Talks to His Old Comrades—Reunion Notes.

Tii« city of Torre Haute placed herself in the keeping of the soldiers yesterday morning but not until after the citizens hud handsomely decorated the business buildings with Hags and bunting- Main street ]iresented a pretty appearance to look along the countless stramers and Minall flags that greeted the eye on every hand. At 1 o'clock the members of the Thirty-first, Forty-third and Eightyliftli infantry and the Fourth and Sixth cavalry formed in double rank at the east front of the court house and marched, about 300 strong,east on Main street to the Terre Haute house. There a halt was called for a few moments to await car transportation to the fair grounds, where the love feast of hand-shaking and army reminiscences was destined to be held. The mirth and shouting that is characteristic of the happy mood of soldiers in reunion assembled and that attracted happily the attention of all along the line of march was kept up.during the transfer to the grounds—a happy introduction to the imitation of army life that the soldiers are now enjoying. At l.he fair grounds, wagons, buggies, tents ami people in waiting enhanced the joy of those coming. Hut amid all, matters were carried on with commendable expedition. It required but a short time for hand shaking, because it is characteristic of the "boys," as they term themselves, to mingle rapidly. But this was a moment that should not be passed lightly. It was both grave and pleasing to see grey-haired veterans skipping about with the nimbleness of youth to grasp the hands of comrades. Then came the business of the day, the signing of the regimentol rolls and the business meetings. This was done by regiments and all soldiers not belonging to any of the regiments that are participating in this reunion as regiments signed the miscellaneous list at headquarters. Of these, lifty-five had signed ilmir names up to a late hour yesterday. The Thirty-first regiment did not hold a busiuesB meeting yesterday but will meet at headquarters this morning at '.I o'clock, at which time all of i.heir business will be transacted. Their roster shows that eighty-eight members of their regiment were present. Their attendance by companies was as follows: A, live: 1!, ten C, twenty-one I), nine K, six F, ten (I, one H, two

company. Sixth Cavalry.

This letter suggests one distinction which the Sixth cavalry claims, viz: that three of their members are now in congress.

Congressman J. T.Johnston attempted to pass near by, but was halted, and made a neat speech that excited the hearty applause of his former comrades in arms.

At 5 o'clock the call for supper was heard, and in true soldier style the "comrades" made haste to refreshments. At 7::S0 they again met, not as companies, nor as regiments, but in one immense mass meeting in the new art hall in the fairgrounds. There they were joined by many friends anxiou to witness the enjoyment of a camp fire. The second lloor of the hall was conviently seated and a stage had been arrested in the western part between the stairways. This, as well as the remainder of the second lloor, was appropriately decorated with Hags and bunting. The Military band notified the expectant audience at 7:30 p. m. that the time had come and the hall was soon well tilled. Several soldiers had arrived during the recess and it seemed that greetings had only been begun. The music, which was of patriotic airs, seemed to give new life to the soldiers and kept it going. The chairman of the evening called upon Pr. Ilobbs, who invoked the divine blessing, and Mayor J. C. Kolsem then being called upon, road in a clear, distinct voice the following address of wel come

Mr. Chairman and Kx-l'nlon Soldiers: It Is my pleasing duty and privilege to-day, as Its chief executive, to welcome to the city of Terre llaute you, the survivors of the Thlrty-llist, Korty-tliird and Eighty-tilth Indiana Infantry and Fourth and Sixth cavalry, who have chosen tills place tor your annual reunion tills year.

Your selection of our city lor tills celebration Is peculiarly appropriate when it is considered that all but one of vour several commands were organized and held their lirst rendezvous here, and marched away from here, and from your friends, homes and families a quartern! a century ago Into the terrible vortex of a war, the like ol which the world lias never witnessed, before or since.

You come here alter the hardships and sorrows, and to some extent even the triumphs, of Its battles and campaigns have been softened by the lapse of years of peace In a rescue I and restored union of all the states, and It Is not lor me to-day to attempt to recall vour suifcriiign or your victories. I was but a boy when these stirring events were enacted, and lived in a community and state distant Irom where we now stand: but the same hopes and fears, the same anxieties and sorrows, and exultations existed there and the tide of dreadful carnage, and courage, and heroism swept Into the slate where my home then was, ami made the. lield of (iettysImrg historic, with Winchester and Sliik li, MurI'recsboro and I'hlckaniauga. the Wilderness. Richmond, and Innumerable others as great and glorious as these.

Many of our citizens will remember the organization here of the Thirty-first regiment in Septmber, 1861. and how It inarched away to the front with a full compliment of men and officers, commanded by the gallant general, Charles Crurt, then Its colonel but It requires some thought and Investigation to recall that It fought In twenty engagements, and at the close of lhe war was so far Irom home that It had to be discharged at Victoria, Tex., by special order of war department.

It had upon Its rolls, rrom the date of Its organization to that of its discharge, l.tSW men. rank ami tile, and returned for linai discharge with only 342.

The Korty-tliird regiment was mustered In about the same date. September, 1801. served until .lune, 1805, and was, during all Its period of active service. under the command of Colonel Win. K. McLean, now deputy I'nlted States commissioner of pensions. It endured the severe duties of the campaign west of the Mississippi liver, ami took part In five Important engagements.

The career of the Seventy-llrst regiment has forever surrounding It the lamentable fate of Its first commander, the gallant Lieutenant Colonel Melville D. Topping, who was kliled while bravely leading liis men in action at the battle of Richmond, only twelve days after the command was mustered Into service.

This was In August. 1S6:!. and in the following February, with the addition of two companies, was reorganized anil changed from Infantry to cavalrv, and participated In four Important engagements and In all the cavalry movements about Atlanta.

The Kighty-lifth regiment went Into the service In September. 1802, under the command of Colonel .lohn P. Batrd.

Karly In Its career, after a gallant stand at Thompson's Station. It was outnumbered by the enemv and captured, and lor several months suffered "the well-known horrors of Imprisonment in Llbbv prison but after exchange. It served gallantly In the Atlanta campaign, and "when Sherman marched down to the sea."

The Fourth cavalry was not organized here, but at Indianapolis, as the Seventy-seventh regiment, and went Into the lield with a full complement of officers' and men under the command of Colonel Isaac P. ray, now governor of Indiana. It took part In five important engagements, and did effective and gallant service with the cavalry division in the Atlenta campaign.

All of these, your commands, suffered the more tliiin decimating losses of the battlefield and the hospital, and the dead repose all over the land whose magnificent government they died to save.

Many or vour comrades have since been gathered to their llnal rest, either through the natural order of events or by reason of disabilities contracted In camp and field anil battle. Among those who survived the war. but not here to meet with vou to-day, are two of your former commanders, ("ieneral Charl Cruft and Colonel John P. Balrd. always noble, gallant and faithful. These, with all the Innumerable soldier dead, have passed bevond the alarms and stylfe of warfare, as well as the cares and trials of human existence.

On Fames eternal camping ground, Their silent tents are spread. Ami glory guards, with ceaseless round.

The bivouac of the dead. It Is to perpetuate the memory of the dead, and to maintain and strengthen amongst the living the ties of comradslilp formed amidst scenes of hardship and danger, and in the presence of death, that you hold these annual resnlons. They are and should be purely social In character, and as an evidence that this Is Indeed the Intent and purpose of the present meeting. It will be remembered, that while citizens are in the lieglnning or an animated and ardent political contest, the managers of tills reunion have asked that no meetings of that character shall be held here during the time you shall be among us. because yours is a great social gatherlug In which members of every political party are participating, and the request you have made Is granted by all the political committees concerned.

You come to recall old scenes and to reolve longcliertshed memories. You come with the veils of twenty-five pears hanging N'tween you ami your hardships nm! sufferings, so that thev are toned down and softened until there Is almost an eleli'ontlnued on fourth page'J

POLITICS IN INDIANA.

The Work of the Two State Committees as to Speakers.

A HUM OF SPEECH-MAKING TO BEGIN NOW.

Both Parties Ready for the Fray —General Harrison's Programme.

INDIANA nous, Ind., September 7.—The day with General Harrison was quiet and uneventful after the big Republican demonstration of last night. The general gave most of his time to his correspondence, and it is presumed he is at work on his letter of acceptance. Among his callers this afternoon was General Hovey, who remains in this city until morning, when he leaves for Connersville, where he speaks to-morrow-night. The state committee have made no reception engagements for General Harrison during the next four days, which fact gives color to the prevailing impression that the general has settled down to prepare his letter for publicaction, not having found the opportunity he anticipated to engage in this work at Middle Bass. At any rate there is excellent authority for the statement that accounts being sent out from here purporting to outline General Harrison's letter, as regards his tariff view, are without good foundation. In conversation to-night upon this subject, the general left the impression that there was no one who could outline what his letter will contain.

Next Thursday, the 1.5th inst., General Harrison will attend the reunion of his old regiment, the Seventieth Indidiana, at Clayton, Hendricks county, where it is expected he will address the veterans. Returning home on the morning of the 11th he will address the Chicago Grand Army veterans, en route to their home from the annual encampment at Columbus, O. Saturday the 15th, he will receive the Irish-American Protection club, of Chicago, and a delegation from New Albany, Ind. The 18th inst. is given up to delegations from Kentucky and from Nermillion county, 111. the 10th to delegations from Grundy and Iroquois counties, 111. the 21st to delegations from Dayton, Ohio, and Randolph county, Ind. the 2(!th, Tippecanoe veterans from Columbus, Ohio, and delegation from Tipton county, Ind. Saturday, the 29th, is set aside for the reception of Republican clubs from Cleveland, Ohio, and special preparations on the part of the local Republicans will be made for the entertainment for the Cleveland guests in return for the ovation tendered the Indianapolis club when they visited Gartield in 1880.

Conferences and private consultations were the order of the day fit both Republican and Democratic heailquerters today. Congressman Matson, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate arrived in the city this morning and spent the afternoon in conference with Chairman .Jewett and the othar ollicials of the Democratic state committee. General Hovey held a like conference with his committee. The distinguished candidates did not meet during their stay here. They are paired in congress until the loth inst., when they must both return to Washington, unless the house grants them further leave. Efforts to bring about a joint debate between Matson and Hovey have about fallen through. It is understood that Chairman Jewett, on behalf of Colonel Matson, informed Chairman Huston, of the Republican committee, several days ago that he was ready to meet him and ar range for a joint discussion, but this suggestion has not met the approval of Chairman Huston.

The outside public may gain some faint idea of the magnitude of the great political battle that is just getting fairly under way in every township and county in the state of Indiana, when it is learned that the Democracy has 2,f)00 local speakers throughout the state, who have already canvassed their own counties and are now exchanging with adjoining counties. The majority of this army of orators are assigned for speeches every night in the week for two and three weeks ahead, when new assignments will be made. The Democratic state committee facilitates its work by arrangiug assignments for local speakers through district and county committees. The list of local speakers on the books of the Ropuqlican state committee is not complete as yet, but 1,500 name are listed, which is an average of nearly fifteen to each of the ninety-two counties. The work of assigning dates and places for this host of speakers is largely done through and by the state committee. The Republican plan of conducting the campaign seems more centralized than that of the Democrats. This difference in methods doubtless accounts for the larger clerical force employed about Republican headquarters. Both committees have large document rooms where campaign congressional literature may be 6een by the ton. These documents arrive and depart almost daily by the wagon load. Neither committee has yet arranged its dates for distinguished outside speakers who will canvass Indiana. The only date thus far fixed for Judge Thurman, is October 15, at Shelbyville, where a grand barbecue will be held. Colonel Matson, Governor Gray, and many other distinguished Democratic orators will attend. The Democracy of Peru, Miami county, are also arranging for a great barbecue, such as was held in 'S4, at that point, in honor of Governor Hendricks. Judge Thurman will also participate in this demonstration, and the date will be fixed to suit his convenience. It is expected that Judge Thurman will attend alxut a dozen other big meetings in_ Indiana. The Democratic state committee, this evening announced the following Indiana meetings for Colonel Manson, Gov ernor Gray, Senators Voorhees and Turpie:

Colonel Matson: September 8. Greencastle 10th, Paoli, in the afternoon, New Albany, at night 11th, English, in

GENERAL POLITICAL NOTES.

Republican Recruits at Springfield, 111.— a ttig Meeting'. The Democratic state convention of New Hampshire, at Concord, Thursday, nominated Charks A Amsden for Governor.

A New York dispatch says Mr. John C. New has arranged for the greatest meeting of the campaign at Indianapolis. Blaine, Ingersoll and Depewr will be the speakers. It will be held about September 25, but the date is left open until the arrival of Mr. Depew from England.

Minnesota Republicans in state convention at St. Paul, Thursday, nominated William R. Merriam for governor, and completed the ticket by nominating the present incumbents, as follows: For lieutenant governor, A. Rice secretary of state, Hans Matson state treasurer, Joseph Robleter attorney general, Moses E. Clapp.

Charles Ridgely, of Springfield, 111., for years one of the Democratic leaders of Sangamon county and principal owner of the Springfield Iron company's million dollar plant at Ridgely, a suburb of Springfield, has come out for the Republican ticket this year, and began active work Thursday night by a protective speech to his men at Ridgely, after which a Republican club was organized. Mr. Ridgely, his son and manager, William Ridgely, and Franklin, another son, and 2G0 of their hands, many of them formerly Democrats, signed the roll.

Let every protection speaker bear in mind the fact that the amount of protection afforded by the tariff cannot be determined by the height of the average rate of duties, as the Mills bill advocates so falsely claim. The Press has alreadily shown that the amount of protection depends on the way the duties are levied. Forexample: The values of England's duitable imports (tea, coffee, tobacco, etc.,) in 188G aggregated .£28,955,308, or about $145,000,000, and the duty collected on these amounted to £20,139,582, or 8100,000,000, being over GO per cent, on the values. Yet it is a free trade tariff.

TROUBLE FEARED.

Negroes Ordered to Leave, Refuse to Go, aitd Warfare is Imminent. ST. LOUIS, September 7.—Advices from Richmond, Tex., are to the effect that negroes ordered to leave for Ft. Bend county for the attempted assassination of II. II. Frost will resist. A committee of six citizens went out to Jack and Tom Taylor's, fifteen miles from Richmond, in a strong-hol of 500 negroes, to notify them that they had ten hours in which to leave the county. They declined to leave and defied the whites. One of the committee returned to town and reported the decision of the Taylors, while the others remained on guard. Forty men armed with Winchesters have gone out to enforce the order. C. M. Ferguson, the offensive negro district clerk, has gone to the Taylor neighborhood. Matters have assumed such a serious phase that two local military companies have been called into service and Governor Ross has ordered the state Rangers to Ft. Bend county.

Untie 15all News.

Mr. E. W. Leeds, the Fourth street jeweler, yesterday announced the terms upon which he is to give away a German silver base ball to some member of the home club. The ball will be presented to the one making the first home run. The ball will have to be knocked over the fence south of the white board on the east fence or if a player can make home on a long drive into the lield he will secure the handsome present.

The game on Sunday will be between the Terre Ilautes and Efiingham. A week from Sunday the Washington, D. C., team plays here. It is a mistaken idea that the Terre Ilautes are to meet them. The Rloomington club has been secured because it is stronger and will give the capital cities a better game.

Yellow Fever.

JACKSONVILU:, Fla., September 7.—This haa been another day of gloom and death, and, what is worse, the outlook for the immediate future is gloomier still. Seventy-seven new cases were reported to the board of health for the twenty-fours ending at o'clock p. m. There were eight deaths during the prostrations. Among the prostrations by fever are the Hon. II. A. Tengle, cashier of the State bank of Florida and chairman of the committee on sanitation of the Citizen's association, who has worked indefatigably since the outbreak of the fever.

You are requested to meet In mass meeting at Allen Chaiiel A. M. K. Church, on south Third street, Terre Haute. Ind.. at 8 o'clock Monday evening, September 10th. to make arrangements for holding a grand emancipation celebration. By order of RKKN DAY.

WHAT MRS. O'NJSIL WAXTS.

•She Asks for Power to Sue President Cleveland for Alleged Libel. WASHINGTON, September 7.—General Browne, of Indiana, will on Monday next introduce, by request, a most curious pe tition in the house. It is a petition prayiDg that power be given the petitioner to sue the president of the United States for libel. It is the work of Mrs. Charlotte Smith, who gained considerable notice as a friend of the workingwomen, and particularly in her zeal in the cause of Mrs. Moore-O'Neil. Mrs. Smith, in this instance, is the champion of Mary Ann Dougherty, whose pension bill the president vetoed, on the ground that she was a disreputable character, having been arrested seventeen times. The charge of the president Mrs. Dougherty emphatically denies, and to have her wrongs righted went to the Woman's union here and laid her case before them, inviting the closest investigation. Mrs. Smith took hold of the case, and stated to-day that she had a personal search of the records of the Police court of this city, where these arrests are said to have been made. She states that only in one instance does she find that there has been a Mary Ann Dougherty arrested for any cause. This was twenty years ago. Mrs. Dougherty, she therefore thinks, has a perfect right to obtain damages.

ELOPED WITH A SCHOOLMISTRESS.

The City Treasurer of Wubasli, I ml., and a l'retty Young: I*»cly Missing. WAISASII, Ind., September 7.—Hugh Dare, city treasurer of Lagro, this county, and Miss Ada McXoun, a pretty young schoolmistress, are missing from home, and there is every reason for believing they have eloped. Mr. Dare quietly left Lagro early last week, informing several friends that he was going to Ohio. A day later Miss McNoun took the train for Logansport, saying that she would return Saturday. Neither of the parties has been seen since, although friends of each have made persistent efTorts to find them. Miss McNoun's parents visited Logansport and learned that their daughter left that city on Wednesdoy of last week, taking tin east-bound train that would have brought her home in an hour. It is supposed^ that she left the train at Peru, meeting Mr. Dare there, and going either to Detroit or St. Louis.

THE TEXAS STATE HOUSE.

The CommiHsionorg Kefuse to Kecelve lhe Uuilding neruiisc It is Faulty. AI STI.N, Tex., September 7.—The state

capitol board, consisting of the governor, secretary of state, treasurer, land commissioner and comptroller, yesterday held their final meeting and passed a resolution unanimously refusing to receive the building, claiming that it is not built in accordance with the terms of the contract. It is claimed that the massive copper roofs leak, and that there are other serious defects. Messrs. Farwell & Taylor, of Chicago, were to receive 15,000,000 acres of land for the building. They have been given title to all but :00,000 acres. This amount the state holds as a trust until the contract is fully complied with, and dr not propose to surrender it until the capitol board is satislied with the work. Litigation will follow, which will be expensive to all concerned.

THE UNSATISFACTORY INFORMATION FROM CHINA.

Mr. Scott, Mr. Cleveland's Monopolistic Friend, Receives a Reminder of His Attitude.

WASHINGTON, September 7.—In the senate this afternoon the resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Vest for an inquiry into the case of a senate ollicial (Mr. McKee) publishing a campaign book, was taken up, and, at the suggestion of Mr. Mitchell, was informally laid aside. Mr. Hoar's resolution offered yesterday, calling for the attention of the president to the previous request of the senate to be furnished with copies of communications to the British government in regard to the tisheries, was taken up, and, at the suggestion of Mr Vest, laid aside informally, Mr. Vest stating his understanding that a message would be received in about half au hour, and, he added significantly,

-,on

this sub­

ject." The Chinese exclusion bill was then taken up, and Mr. Vest referred to Mr. Dolph's denial of his statement that seven Chinamen had been naturalized in Indianapolis in 1S7(, (under the superintendence of Mr. Miller, the law partner of Mr. Harrison, and had voted the Republican ticket) read a letter which he had received, giving the particulars of such naturalization and showing that the only mistake he (Mr. Vest) had made was in giving the date as 1870, instead of 1880. lie also sent to the clerk's desk and had read corroborative allidavits.

Mr. (iortnau moved to refer the Chinese bill and president's message to the committee on foreign relations. The vote resulted—ayes 17, nays 10 -no quorum. Senators Hoar, Piatt and Sher man voted aye with the I lemocrats anil Senators Payne, Berry and Vest voted no with the Republicans. Mr. Morgan had also voted no, not being paired with Mr. Evarts, and

not

knowing how Mr.

Everts woulu vote Mr. Morgan withdrew his vote. The bill was then passed— yeas 37, nay 3 (Brown, Hoar and Wilson, of Iowa).

The president's message on the China matter has been laid before the senate. It merely sends copies of two dispatches from the American minister at Pekin one dated September •", saying: "I believe the treaty has been rejected. Have demanded from foreign ollico punitive information." And the other, dated September (!, saying: "Treaty postponed for further deliberation."
