HOW THE BOOMLET STARTED. Beminiscftpces of the Beeent Democratic Editorial Convention. Sample of Some of the Delicate Attentions Paid Mr. McDonald by Flattering Friends —The War lloss’ Whinney. “O, temporal O, Moses! - ’ It's a great pity that the novel in -which Charles Dickens introduces young Martin Chuzzlewit and that genial philosopher, Mark Tapley, to American life and manners, was written so early. It should have had a chapter devoted to the beautiful domestic picture of booming a candidate as it was so handsomely exemplified on Thursday last at the meeting of the Editorial Association and the banquet that followed. What meat for the satirist to delineate the painstaking way in which the McDonald boom was worked on that eventful Thursday. They were a bungling lot of boomers, and the groaning, ungainly machinery was in full view all the time. A more incongruous and ridiculous crowd never came together, and the McDonald boom was not the only one the editors, who had been got together in order to be worked the more effectually, were allowed to gaze upon, for statesmen flocked to the convention, each with his own private boom, which were attached to the great boom like bangles to a pinchbeck ring. There were Manson and Bynum, who are booming for Governor; Cooper, who is booming for State Treasurer; Rico, for State Auditor, Myers, for State Secretary, Shoemaker and Reeve for anything that may be lying around loose, and others of minor rapacity. Most of these modest, self-sac-rificing worthies were spread upon the platform, where their booms were scarcely obscured by that of Mr. McDonald, who sat nearer the footlights. As the cost of entertaining the editors had doubtless been divided between these gentlemen and Mr. McDonald, they were entitled to all the prominence they appropriated, but it roally seemed, after all, that the editors had very little to say and mnch less to do in tho powwow, and when one of them did happen to pop up, as did Mr. Sparks on one occasion, and Mr. Daily on another, they were kindly hut firmly sat down upon by the politicians. One of the most delicate attentions paid to the editors was the distributing among them of fifty electrotypes of Mr. McDonald, with which they may ornament their pages and save composition. A donation of this kind, as coarse as any distribution of favors in ward politics, really did bring a blush to the circular face of Mr. McDonald when be heard how it had been done. A little further on in the canvas for the nomination he will probably have his servitors better drilled. Mr. Tilden. if he will, can give some points from his bureau methods. A sample extract from Mr. Bynum's welcoming address will si sec him to be a very thinspread politician and an orator of the Columbian school: "By your efforts (the editors'), and often to the sacrifice of private interests, the camp-fires of Democracy have been kept brightly burning, and as each successive campaign has rolled around it has only been necessary to sound the bugle to marshal the host.” Yet Mr. B. was among those who charged Republicans, after the Democratic host had been marshaled by these buglers, with buying the gallant fellows as" low as two dollars a head.

One of the things done, and in the worst possible taste, was the reading to the association of a private letter from another favorite son, Thomas A. Hendricks, who is now in London gazing upon the rotting fabric of British despotism. The only remarkable thing in the letter appeared to be that Mr. Hendricks was boarding at the Royal Hotel, Blackfriars, and his feed cost him $3. Boarding at the Royal Hotel —with the royal family, it may be supposed. Shades of Jefferson and Jackson, has it come to this? Dr. Hunter, as president of the association, the beam in whose eye is diagnosed to he the Lawrenceburg postoffice, will take the cake as the champion taffy mixer and dispenser. He rolled it thick and styb and laid the oblation right under Mr. McDonald’s nose. The saccharine tribute beginning with “A man who’’ ran on and on while Mr. McDonald’s face glowed like the harvest moon. If Dr. Hunter is a physician he ought to know that so much tally, all at once, isn’t good for anybody, not even a presidential aspirant. The* banquet was the cap-slieaf of the affair, and the reception committee displayed a great diversity of daisies, the bouquet containing all varieties, from judges down to ward-strikers, and vendors of anti-temperance llnids. Two or three of the speeches to the set toasts were well enough; that of Hon. W. H. English was admirable. It was addressed to thinking Democrats. and'as none of tliat class were present except those who were thinking about getting offices, or how-to hold on to those they now had, his words of wisdom fell on unheeding ears. The speech of Judge Norton on ‘‘The Young Democracy,” and that of Rufus Magee on ‘‘The Press as an Educator,” were both better than the company in which they were cast. General Mahlon D. Manson, the “old wurlioss,” who sniffs the governorship from afar off, responded to “The Citizen Soldier.” He cited the fact that, while in other States the Democratic party “has made some of their soldiers Governors. Indiana has never thought of doing such a foolish thing.” This was considered a very loud whinney on the part of the “war-hoss,” but it is hardly likely that the Democratic party will change her record. Bayless W. Hanna, also of Crawfordsville, recently imported from Terre Haute, tickled the editors, and put them on the very best possible terms with themselves. C. H. Reeve, ex-State senator, who occasionally writes four or five-column paragraphs for the Plymouth Democrat, spoke to the toast. “The Dorsey Banquet, a Belshazzeran Feast.” His anecdotal illustrations are sufficiently venerable to entitle them to respect, but a few young and injudicious Democrats disturbed the solemnity of the occasion by ill-timed laughter. A fiery young orator, who showed the benefit of two seasons sojourn with Kidd’s elocution, spoke to the toast. “Why the Republican Party must Go,” which subject, it is understood, he had inflicted upon himself for haring allowed so much of that party to go in the unpleasant go-as-you-please or 1882, when, instead of Shelby county, the yineyard in which this vigilant Democrat labors. going, as it had heretofore. 000 Democratic, a portion of the Republican ticket was elected, including Congressman Peelle, which some of the speaker’s < o-workers thought was in the nature of a rebuke to the young orator, llis speech Was thick with inflammatory interjection and epileptic wrath. lie vociferously demanded “down with the crime-stained party,” and peppered it with “Southern groans, “radical pollution,” “incubus.” “iniquitous load,” “assassination,” “bloody shirt,” and “the blighting breath of hate.” The Republican party, recognizing his valuable services in Shelby county, will try to borrow him- for the State at large during the coming campaign. The most extraordinary feature 6f the evening was a speech by a gentleman with a military title accumulated since the war and a sore throat, suggesting convivial commissary. He spoke to the toast “Ireland’s Woes and Americas Sympathies,” and although his utterance was like that of a mud volcano in active eruption, everybody fell asleep except the head waiter, whose business it was to watch the spoons. From that wakeful individual the information is gleaned that he twisted the British lion's tail until it cracked and the beast roared and roared again. Ho lamented in bitter tears that he had not been born an Irishman. in Ireland, or, having failed in that, an Irishman in America, and in burning oratorical la 4 Va asked: “Is it well to debate between diplo l rnacy and dynamite, providence and powder, words and swords, fire and famine, prayers and prisons!” which made him very red in the face and sorely aggravated his cough. The City’s Expenses. # During the month of December warrants amounting to $51,273 were drawn on the city. treasurer, tho principal items being the

An Iron Fool. St. Louis, Jan. s.—Tlio Age of Steel prints a statement, on tho authority of a largely-inter-ested iron trade, that a scheme is on foot to pool the entire pig-iron industry of the country. The plan is to divide tho country into six districts, each to be represented in the ]>ool on the basis made up from the tonnage-producing capacity of the district, and the profit-earning capacity per ton as shown by the work of a series of years, each furnace in a district to share in the district’s share of the general pool, on a basis determined in the same way. One of thech ief objects of the scheme is to ascertain the exact product of pig-iron intliecountry, and, with this information in the hands of an executive committee having authority, a shut-down can he ordered at any time to let the demand catch up with the supply, and prices be thus made regular and steady. It is also proposed that at any time furnaces are ordered stopped, for any reason, each will draw its share of the profits from the. pool, as though it were ii\ hmst. The Age*of Steel * a ya the Scheme originated among the furnace inen of the Lehigh valley; that strong efforts will bo made to carry it out among the furnace men in other parts of the country, and that this is the first public notice of it. Mr. Sage's Alleged Losses. New York, Jan. 5. —A story was printed here to-day that Russell Sage, the man who keeps $3,000,000 in cash just where he can lay his hands on it. had lost $1,000,000 in Union Pacific. This Sage indignantly denies, saying: “Why, I have lent $500,000 this morning. That does not look as though I was in groat straits, does it? Probably before the day is over I shall loan $300,000 more. You did not see any broker in the outer office clamoring foi* chocks, did yont I don't mind these newspaper squibs. But the papers should not print these stories of the young men of the street , because they are calculated to do rftttch mischief, causing needless harm.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 1534.

STATE NEWS AND GOSSIP. A Verdict of Acquittal in the Case Trial at Mnncie. Death of the Venerable William J. Wise, of Vincennes—The Blocks Seeking Release by Habeas Corpus. INDIANA. The Express Robbery at Mancie—Cfle Declared “Not Guilty.” Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Muncie, Jan. 5. —The trial of Austin Case for grand larceny and the alleged embezzlement of the livc-thousand-dollar package missing from the United States Express Company’s safe in this city last September, ended to day, at noon. The jury, after thirty minutes absence, returned a verdict of “not guilty.” On the first ballot the jury stood eleven for aequital and one for conviction; on the second ballot the vote was unanimous for aequital. The verdict is received wich general approbation, although it was not unexpected, for it was impossible for any one hearing the evidence and knowing the circumstances connected with the robbery to convince himself that Case is guilty. There was nothing new developed in the examination of witnesses, although much was conjectured. Indeed, it was generally expected that the prosecution had a better case against the defendant than they have shown, and some startling revelations connected with this robbery and the two others previous to this in which this same company was the loser, were expected. But it still remains an unsolved mystery who tho guilty man is. And he has so completely covered his tracks that he is not likely to ho found out. It is reported that Case will sue the company for damages arising from what seems an unwarranted prosecution. Observe the Sabbath. Special to (ho Indianapolis Journal. Fort Wayne, Ind.. Jan. o.—ln obedience to the behests of the Liquor Dealers’ Association, all saloons and cigar-stores were closed to-day. A New Move In the Block Case. Greonsburg Special. Jacob and Elsie Block to-day filed in tho court here their petition for a writ of habeas corpus. In their petition for the writ they allege that they are indicted for the murder of Eli Frank, in Rush county, on the 30th day of November. 1883, and that they are now restrained of tlieir liberty in the jail of this county for that crime. They further say: “That they are not. nor is cither of them, guilty of said crime so charged, and that they and each of them have been committed to said jail without ball, or the right to bail, when, in truth and in fact, the proof against them, and each of them, was, and iw. not evident, nor the presumption of that guilt strong: nor was the proof against them, or either of them, evident, or the presumption strong. Under our law murder is not bailable, but on "habeas corpus the judge hearing the evidence, if satisfied that tho proof of guilt is not evident, or presumption of guilt strong, may admit the prisoner to hail. This, then, is theirobjeet—to be admitted to bail. The hearing of the petition will be gin before Bonner, at Ru.-hville, on Tuesday next. Although tlie case is now, on change of venue, pending here, yet for the convenience of witnesses, and because the court in. this circuit is now being held at Rushville, the hearing of this application will be had there. It will in volve the whole merits of the case, and will occupy the court, doubtless, several days.

It is rumored that Battles was concerned in the recent murder of Henry Custin, at Petersburg, for which outrage Charles Harvey was lynched on the Sunday morning before Christmas. There is a talk among the coal operators of the Brazil district of a reduction in tlie price paid the miners from $1 to 75 cents a toil. The operators claim that the price paid makes it impossible for them to compote with Ohio coal in the Chicago markets. Asa result, there is less demand for their coal* and they claim that it is for this reason the men are given employment not more than one day a week on an average. The miners will resist any attempt to reduce tho prices, they maintaining that it is the high freight rates, and not the price of mining, that renders it impossible for the operators to compete with the Ohio operators. ILLINOIS. The Store of L. J. oT Shirley, Totally Coflbttiffed by Fire. Social to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, Jan. 0. —Last evening the genral store of L. J. Rogers, at Shirley, took firo

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. REFLECTS HONOR ON ITS MANAGER. Bloomington Telephone. The Indiananolis Journal, under present management, has filled the niche made vacant by the Cincinnati Gazette, when it expired by merging into the Commercial. The Gazette possessed an enviable reputation for solidity and truthfulness, while shunning the demoralizing sensationalism that is becoming popular with disreputable Smart Aleck journalists. If the Indianapolis Daily Journal continues to maintain its many excellent features, it will also continue to grow iu popularity and usefulness, reflecting- honor upon its managers, and bringing wealth to their coffers. The Doily Journal is the favorite paper with Bloomington business men. IT WILL BE SUPERB. Kokomo Gnz**tte. The Indianapolis Journal promises a better paper for the year 1884 than ever before.

When we consider the real value of the paper, the SI.OO which the weekly costs per year seems an insignificant trifle. We have no doubt but what the circulation of the Journal has increased over 50 per cent, in Grant county the year past, and the coming year it ought to go up LOO per cent. It is worthy of it. TUB GREATEST PAPER BUT ONE. Indianapolis Saturday Review.

the: MUMS JOURNAL For 1884. .My ami Weekly Elions. The (llfcl, The largest Hid Best Ktfiillin Newspaper in Indiana. For the year 1884 the Indianapolis Journal is better equipped than ever in its history to serve the public. With an entirely new mechanical outfit, not excelled anywhere, tlie typographic appearance and arrangement of the paper will certainly not be less satisfactory than it has been hitherto, and which has given the Journal the deserved reputation of being one of the best printed papers in the country. Our arrangements for the collection of news from all parts of tho world were never so complete, never involved so large an outlay of money, while in ail departments tho paper is served with experienced and intelligent direction. The Journal is, first, a newspaper. It will give all the news of the day, from every quarter, with fullness, entire fairness, and so edited as to make its columns free from impurities, and allow them at ail times to be read with perfect safety by every member of the family. The Journal is a Republican paper, believing in the principles and general poEcy of the Republican parte, but it recognizes that in the work of parties there ore and will be wrongs, possibly frauds and corruptions. These the Journal proposes to be perfectly free to criticise aud to condemn without stint, but in a spirit aud with a puipose for good, having a proper regard for personal rights and reputations. And the right to make this criticism will be asserted and maintained without detriment to tho political character and standing of the paper. With no desire to be captious or fault-finding, in the interest of the people and of the party, believing that the great, glory of Republicanism is that it permits freedom of thought and liberty of expression, the Journal will endeavor, in its editorial comment and conduct, to keep the Republican party the agency through which, and by which, the best, thought of the people may find expression, and tho highest purpose of the people be executed. Other than this, and less than (his, will meet its most vigorous opposition. Municipal government _is the great, problem of the day, and no newspaper, standing for the people, can afford to penult abuses to continue because," perchance, they may intrench themselves behind party fortifications. jiVhile anticipating that, in the future as in the past, the best interests of ail the people will be subserved through Re publican administration, the Journal will not blindly indorse everything that may bo done in the name of the party, nor will it swallow every dose that may have the party label. The tendency of the times is away from this style of journalism, and the Journal will, for itself, assert the right to criticise fearlessly and condemn unsparingly whatever is believed to be inimical to the material prosperity of the city and county, in which Democrats are alike interested with Republicans. We hope" to make the Journal the exponent of the highest and best, thoroughly sincere and earnest in whatever it says and docs; a paper of the people and for the people, as welcome to one class as to another, expecting a continuance of generous confidence aud support by the ]>eople. Subscribe at once for the year ISB4—the year of the presidential campaign and of the session of cougress preceding tlie national canvass.
