WHEN INDICATIONS. Monday. —Local showers, partly cloudy weather. There are chains that are noiseless and invisible; there is immurement without a lailer; there are sentences to hard labor imposed by no court of justice. The bondmen —the “Can’t-get-aways,” whom the inexorable restrictions of duty deny a summer vacation —are the vast majority of the denizens of the city: only the favored few are at liberty to go' where they will for a brief season of recreation and diversion “out of town.” Still the “dog-days” are not without their comforts and enjoyable incidents for the “Stay-at-homes.” Light and becoming apparel, for instance, is a sine qua non these days; and this (we address ourselves to the Stronger sex, of course) you have in profusion and innumerable variety at the WHEN CLOTHING STORE. The absentees are denied the privilege of supplying their wants (at Wholesale Prices) from the one hundred thousand (or thereabouts) different articles of seasonable male attire, for Man, -Youth and Boy, comprehended in our matchless assortment: while the “Can’t-get-aways” nave this among other resources for satisfaction. There are compensations in life. The WHEN CLOTHING STORE versus a Vacation.

ISLAND PARK ASSEMBLY. Ten Thousand People Listen to Dr. Talmage —The Meeting Drawing to a Close. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Island Park, Rome Crry, July 26.—Fully ten thousand people came here yesterday to hear the great divine, Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, on “Ingersollism. ” Excursion trains were arriving nearly all day, and when Talmage appeared, at 2:30 p. m., the tabernacle was packed with people and all the trees within hearing distance were bending under loads of men. There are a great many ministers attending the assembly and they were greatly pleased over the true logic and force of his effort At times the applause was so great that Dr. Talmage wascompelled to wait for minutes before he could resume his address. This is the first time that Talmage ever appeared in this part of the State, and consequently the desire has been great to hear him. His lecture was in many respects good, but so far as his subject-matter went "he advanced nothing new to refute Ingersoll. Last night Professor Edward L. Wilson, of Philadelphia, delivered a splendid lecture on “A Voyage up the Nile,” and illustrated the most important places and events with brilliant stereopticon illustrations. Dean A. A Wright gave, yesterday and to-day, some important lectures on “American Church Architecture,” “About Provoking Children,” and “How to Say No in Greek.” The Wilberforce Concert Company arrived today, and assisted Prof. C. C. Case, of the Cincinnati Music College, in an entertaining concert On Monday this company will present a full programme, and as they are favorites with the assembly people there will be another large crowd in attendance. Two small accidents occurred among the excursions yesterday, but no lives were lost. While a Lake Shore excursion train of ten cars was running in behind time a pony engine collided with them. Both engines were damaged considerably. Mrs. Maiming, an old lady living at Kendallville, in attempting to get off a moving train, slipped and was thrown to the ground with great foree, breaking her left leg near the thigh and bruising her considerably. On account of her age, her recovery is doubtful. W. L. Taylor, law partner of Hon. Stanton J. Peelle, arrived on Thursday, and is tenting with his parents, on First avenue. The assembly will close on Tuesday next ELECTRICITY AS A MOTOR. Entire Success of the New Electric Street Railroad at Cleveland. Cleveland, July 26.—The first commercially successful electric railroad in America was started in operation in this city to-day by the East Cleveland Street-railroad Company, which has just completed a mile of Mad and ran cars on it to-day for the first time. * The experiment was so successful that the company expects to change its entire system, comprising over twenty miles, into electric roads. The system used was a combination of the Brush and Knight and Bentley systems, and the current was carried on underground conductors laid in conduits, like those of the cable road. The cars were started and stopped and reversed with the ireatest ease, and without the disagreeable erking incident to the cable and horse roads. The economy of running is claimed to be jreater than that of cable roads, and the cost of :onstrnction less than one-third as great. Any lumber of cars up to fifteen, can be run at one ;imo on a single circuit and from one machine, which is a result not attained by any of the Suropean systems now in operation. The success of the new road has made a great sensation n both the street-railroad and electrical circles, ind is expected to greatly extend the field of fiectrical development as well as enhance values >f street-railroad properties. The Striking Bricklayers. New York, July 26.—The striking bricklayers net to-night Telegrams were read from all K>ints, offering financial assistance and urging he men to hold out. Committees were appointed o visit the buildings in course of erection and ee that the places of the strikers were not filled y men out of town. It is reported that all the lasterers employed on buildings being erected y Mark Eidlitz h Son will strike Monday. It ras resolved to tax each member of the union ot on a strike $3 a week for he benefit of the trikers, who will be paid $2 a day as long as the trike lasts. Fifty striking bricklayers will go j Wilkegbarre, Pa., for employment. A Salvation Army Under Arrest. Rochester, N. Y., July 26—Eighteen memers of the Salvation Army were arrested to-day >r singing while parading the streets. Eight ten and ten women remained all night in the olice station praying and singing. A request to ass six tamborines to the prisoners was denied, he leaders have been notified not to sing while larobing.

THE DEADLY ASIAN PLAGUE. The Cholera Decreasing in the Cities of Marseilles and Toulon, And Slowly Spreading in the Smaller Towns and Villages of France—Panic Among Inhabitants of Spezza, Italy. The Doctors Disagree Concerning the Case on Board the Annie P. Silver. John Bright Addresses a Great Mass-Meeting at Manchester and Predicts the Triumph of the Franchise Bill. THE CHOLERA. Nature of the Disease—Marseilles Threatened with a Meat Famine. London, July 26.—A dispatch from Marseilles to the Times says: “It is quite certain the present epidemic of oholera has not the same virulence characterized in the previous outbreaks. It appears to have attacked sickly individuals rather than whole sections of the population.” At Arles many persons are becoming insane through fear. The total number of places in France where the infection has appeared is fourteen. Marseilles is threatened with a meat famine. Many butchers have shut up shop and others find it difficult to procure supplies. The epidemic at Toulon continues to decrease. The flight of people from Toulon continues. It is announced that all workmen at the arsenal who may be absent two weeks will be dismissed. A cholera patient at the hospital committed suicide, to-day, by piunging a knife into his heart Manager Ronde, the Papal nuncio at Paris, applied to the Italian embassador for • a pass across the frontier, without being‘subjected to quarantine regulations, but his request was refused. The mayor of Querin, who is traveling in France, made a similar request, which was also refused There were two deaths from cholera to-day in the city, and two in the suburbs. Total number deaths from cholera, 593. The exodus has decreased the population two-thirds. During the past twenty-four hours there were 58 deaths at Marseilles. Fugitives are beginning to return. The municipal authorities have thanked the Sisters of Charity for their devotion and zeal in assisting cholera sufferers. Cholera has appeared at Spezzia, Italy. It was carried there by Italian workmen from the arsenal at Toulon. There are two fatal cases already, and the inhabitants are in a panic. It turns out, on examination, that O'Brien, of the Dunstan crew, reported seized with choleraic symptoms in Liverpool, on Friday night, is suffering from simple colic, which is very prevalent. DEATHS YESTERDAY. At Marseilles there were thirty-sixth deaths from cholera during the past twenty-four hours. At Toulon there were eleven deaths during the past twenty-feur hours. There were six deaths from cholera at Arles and six at Aix. There is a panic in the latter place. The Catholics of Marseilles have again petitioned the mayor to authorize a procession and public prayers for abatement of the ch olera, but the request was refused. Only five of the twenty-seven members of the municipal council of Arles remain in that city. The Archbishop of Paris has ordered the priests to offer prayers for and solicit alms in behalf of cholera victims. The favorable weather at Toulon has caused a marked alleviation of the epidemic. At Marseilles the police are obliged to use force wnen disinfecting houses where deaths have occurred. The general opinion is that the conduct of the clergy throughout the panic has been admirable. The priests and Sisters of Charity have been indefatigable.

The Case on Board the Annie P. Silver. Washington, July 26. —Surgeon General Hamilton received to day the copy of a letter dated July 19, from Dr. J. B. Peace, who attended the supposed cholera case on the steamer Silver, and who warned the authorities at Nashville. Dr. Peace says the family arrived at New Orleans five days since (July 14) from San Luis, Spain. The vessel had been at Bordeaux. Toulon and Vera Cruz. Though the father did not speak English, Dr. Peace says he learned he had been detained at Toulon. The doctor says further; “The child died with every symptom of cholera, but whether this was a case of Asiatic, or sporadic cholera, 1 will not positively assert, but cholera it certainly was." A St. Louis dispatch says: “Additional particular regarding the alleged cholera patient reported as coming to this city on the Annie P. Silver are that the family Is domiciled at the Female Hospital here, with the exception of the husband, who is boarding at a house on the levee. The statement that cholera had attacked the family is entirely without foundation. The suspected persons are Italians named Picoiloto and the family consisted of man, wife and two childred. They came originally from Lombardy, Italy, several years ago and emigrated to Mexico, where they lived, according to the man’s statement, at least three years. Thence they moved to Louisiana, where they resided another year. The report was that Picoiloto came direct from Toulon to St Louis, but he stated positively that he never was in Toulon in his life and never anywhere else where any epidemic prevailed. He is a stout, healthy-looking man now, and is seeking employment He says the only trouble with his wife is milk sickness, caused by losing her child. The child that died on the nver had summer complaint and nothing else. Deputy Healths Commissioner Francis visited Mrs. Picoiloto and her child at the Female Hospital this morning, where she told substantially the same story as that of Picoiloto, given above. The health authorities have placed her in the hospital where there are two hundred other patients, showing conclusively that they do not believe the story of cholera. The only reason for placing them in the hospital is that the woman is slightly unwell, the family out of money, and they have nowhere else to stay. Health Commissioner Stevenson, in explanation of why the family were sent to the hospital, says he received a dispatch from the Secretary or the State Board of Health at Nashville, Tenn., dated July 23, giving information that a gentleman just from New Orleans had informed him that a case of cholera was on board the steamer Annie P. Silver, on the way from New Orleans to St. Louis. The dispatch stated further that one child had died at Port Anderson of cholera. The Health Commissioner further says that on the arrival of the steamer here the family was immediately taken in charge by the authorities All seemed to be suffering with malarial fever, but there were no signs of cholera connected with any of them. Picoiloto was sent to the City Hospital and his wife and child to the Female Hospital. The husband has since recovered and is on the street looking for work. Health Commissioner Stevenson will communicate with the health authorities at Washington at once, informing them that there is no foundation forthe report that Picoiloto and family

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 28, 1884.

were afflicted with cholera, and never were in Toulon or any other cholera-infected district. That the matter may be put in official form, the following dispatch is added to the above statement: St. Louis, July 26. 1884. Surgeon-general Hamilton, Washington, D. 0.: A thorough examination of the alleged oholera cases on the Annie P. Silver, at Port Anderson, Miss., shows that the family, Picolloto, whose child died daring the trip, have been residents of Mexico for more than a year, and came to the United States seven months ago. They never were in the cholera-infected district of France. The child died of summer complaint. There is no foundation for the cholera statement. John D. Stevenson, Health Com'r. Panics and Their Results in epidemics. Loudon Lancet. It is a most deplorable proof of the weakness of human nature that it is at all times prone to fall into a state of panic when brought face to face with the inevitable. We must all die, and we are not ignorant of this, our destiny. Nevertheless, the instant a danger to life is recognized, we fly from the peril with impetuous haste of crazy and cowardly creatures, forgetful alike of duty and decency. It is vain to argue in favor of self -possession. Philosophy has no charm . for or power over the man who impulsively turns his back to the enemy. Nothing we could urge would have the slightest weight with the multitude bent on escaping from the ports and cities which are just now supposed to be rife with the infection of cholera. These flying crowds, on safety all intent, must be left to their own devices. It is manifest that they will spread the malady, and it is scarcely less certain that they will, many at least, lose their lives in trying to save them. With regard to these matters, however, it is useless do speak. Suffice it to point out that, although in the presence of an epidemic of cholera there is always and unquestionably some personal peril of contracting the disease, it is by no means certain that this is increased by remaining in association with the sick, or that the danger is to be avoided by running away. During severe epidemics it has been noticeable that tho mortality has not been by any means greatest in the very center, so to say, of the disease. In the hospital and among the cholera patients scattered throughout the population, medical officers and nurses have gone about doing their duty with no greater mortality than that of those who have kept aloof. Indeed, it is probable that a certain amount of immunity from disease has been enjoyed by those who have not feared the dager of infection. The great secret of sucoess in warding oft disease is the preservation of health. We mean that if, heedless of danger, men and women do their duty to those around them —keeping up a cheerful temper and a trusty spirit, neither abusing the good things of life nor avoiding them; in short, living as all should live, whether in the midst of a healthy population or in the presence of an epidemic—they have a far bettor chance of escaping disease than by falling into a state of panic and “hastening to leave.” The true policy is to kill the germs of disease on the spot, whether they be in the water or in the air. Every particle of the reiecta should be destroyed —not simply deodorized, but destroyed by a powerful agent capable of burning up organic material. This should be done at once and instantly on the spot, not merely with the choleraic but with every patient who may have diarrhoea, whetner specific or simple. If this be done, and the general sanitary conditions and the average health of the community be looked to, there is no peril that need scare any one out of his or her sober senses in an epidemic of cholera either on the continent or at home.

THE FRANCHISE BILL. A Great Mass Meeting at Manchester Addressed by John Bright. Manchester, July 26.—The demonstration here to-day in favor of the franchise bill was a success. John Bright presided. Thousands of persons were present despite the rain that fell during the day. Forty thousand persons were present, including many members of the House of Commons and prominent Liberals. Gladstone sent a letter apologizing for his absence. The Marquis of Hartington, in supporting a resolution of confidence in Gladstone's policy, charged the Conservatives with insincerity, in that they professed a desire to enlarge the franchise; their fears that the government’s redistribution scheme would favor the Liberal majority were ungrounded. He said the confidence of the House of Lords was needless to the existence of the government. He believed it would be injudicious to attempt to reform the House of Lords now, as the government had sufficient work on hand already. Mr. Bright, in his speech, said he believed the conquest by the people would be complete, as it had been before. They had met with the object of compelling a house representing nobody directly to accept a bill passed by threefourths of a house representing millions of people. The Cabinet had a right to decide the question whether there should be one or two bills. A majority of the House of Lords refused to accept the new principle which Gladstone introduced—both in this and the former Parliament, namely—a desire to give perfect justice to the Irish people. The sudden affection of the Conservatives for the franchise bill was stimulated in order to insure the passage of the bill in the autumn. Unless the English people were a fraud and a sham, which he doubted, they would know how to deal with the hereditary chamber, whose arrogance and class-selfishness had long been at enmity with all higher interests and instincts of the nation. [Cheers. ] If the franchise bill was rejected in the autumn he believed they would be entitled to ask the ministers to give definite statements of their views in case they were unable to anticipate that statement; but the views of tbe English people would be that as their forefathers had had power to curb despotic monarchy they of the present day had equal power to curb the arrogant, and he thbugnt, speaking of a majority of the peers, an unpatriotic oligarchy. If Mr. Bright’s speech was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers. Resolutions favoring the passage of the franchise bill were adopted unanimously. The Marquis of Hartington addressedlan overflow meeting outside of the hall in which Bright spoke. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Organizing for Protection of Commercial and Industrial Interests. Berlin, July 26.—A new society has been formed in this city for the purpose of protecting the interests of commerce and industry. All the great banks, merchants and manufacturers of Germany have signed the programme to be adopted by the society. None of Prince Bismarck’s partisans are included in the list of signers. The society will oppose Bismarck's colonial plans; also all bills interfering with the commerce of the country. The reactionary journals accuse the society of being the tool of wirepullers for use in the coming elections. Warned in Time. London, July 26.—Irish members of the league received warning that Chief of Police Jenkinson had sent a female spy to personate Miss Ford, sister of Ford of the Irish World. The Bpy is to introduce herself to suspected persons as Miss Ford, and is to pretend she has Just come from New York, having been delegated to act as the medium for the conveyance or letters between the Irish Invincibles and the American lodges. Her identity was discovered by an Irish - American who knew her in America. Spain and the United States. London, July 26.—A Madrid correspondent of the Standard says: Negotiations between Spain and America, relating to anew commercial treaty, are at a standstill The pretensions of America clash with the Spanish interests of

Cuba. Spain is reluctant about allowing closer commercial connection between her colonies in the West Indies and America. The latter is already taking 80 per cent, of the exports from Cuba. Death of Frere Irllde. Paris, July 26.—Frere Irlide, General of the Order of Ignorantines, friars, died here to-day from cancer of the stomach. The archbishops of Paris and Rheims, and the bishops of Versailles and Orleans were present during his last hours. The Ignorantines are a religious congregation of men in the Roman Catholic Church . for the gratuitous instruction of poor children in sacred as well as secular learning. It was founded in France m the early part of the eighteenth century (17241, by the Abbe de la Salle, and has gradually been introduced intoevery Catholic country in Europe. In France this congregation shared, at the Revolution, the fate of all other religious bodies: hut the brethren under the name of Brothers of the Christian Schools, were recalled and re-established under Napoleon in 1806. They are now exceedingly numerous in France, Italy and Germany, and many branches exist in England and Ireland. In the latter country they possess, especially in Dublin. Cork, Limerick and Waterford, large educational establishments, and they have published, for the use of their schools, a series of school books which are designed to combine with secular knowledge, information on the subject of religion, specially designed for Roman Catholic pupils. France and China Will Not Fight. Paris, July 27.—After a council of ministers at the Elysee, on Saturday, Prime Minister Ferry held an interview with Li Fong Poa, Chinese embassador. It was arranged that China should pay France an indemnity of 20,000,000 francs. A pacific solution of the troubles is now certain. Minor State of Siege. July 26. —The police closed a number of coffee-houses and restaurants. All other places of this sort are required to close at 8 o’clock every night, and remain closed Sundays and holidays. The city is, to all intents, placed in + minor state of siege. The Czar’s Programme. Sfr. Petersburg, July 26.—The Czar will make a visit to Warsaw about the middle of August. He will not remain in Warsaw but reside at Scierllewicze, from which place ho will attend the maneuvers and review, and afterward go hunting. . The Siberian Pest. St. Petersburg, July 27. —The Siberian pest has appeared at Gatschina. A committee has been formed, with Prince Schapoffsky at the head, to enforce vigorous sanitary measures to check the spread of the disease. Cable Notes. Ellen Terry is ill, and the Lyceum Theater is dosed in consequence. Miss Jessie Vokes has been attacked with a serious illness, the result of malarial fever contracted during her tour in America. Lord Roseberry on Saturday unveiled the statue of Robert Burns, on the Thames Embankment. Many prominent Scotchmen were present. Cornwall, and other persons under arrest, charged with being implicated in disgusting offenses, was examined on Saturday and remanded. Charles Moneypenny, a linen manufacturer, was found in a carriage of the night train running betweeu Paris and Brussels, with his brains blown out It is supposed he was murdered. Mallory, proprietor of tbe Madison Square Theater, New York; Jessie Millnard, A. M. Palmer, and Manager Brooks sailed, on Saturday, from Liverpool, by tbe Aurania. Brooks has engaged Lillian Russell for the American season, to begin in December. The Fenians of Paris announce that James Stephens, ex-Fenian head centre, with Mr. Gallagher, proposes to visit America for the purpose of advocating the Irish cause. It is expected the English authorities will demand the extradition of Fenians concerned in the Scotland Yard outrage.

A BUSINESS MAN’S RASH DEED. B. F. Estes Makes a Desperate Attempt to End a Life of Suffering. New York, July 27.— 8. F. Estes, aged thirty, a partner in the firm of E. B. Estes & Son, dealers in candles, attempted suicide to-day. He came to the Grand Central Hotel on Saturday and registered as B. F. Estes, of Brooklyn, and was assigned a room. He was not rfeen afterwards. To-day the chambermaid found him on the floor of his room, and examination showed that, though apparently dead, there was still some life in him. A ragged wound behind the ear, where the skin and hair were burned and blackened by powder, and a thirty-two caliber revolver lying under the bed, explained the cause of his condition. Upon a table were two notes in one envelope, which was left unsealed. The first was as follows: Dear Father and Brothers: Forgive me for committing this rash deed. I have suffered terribly. I can neither eat nor sleep. Have been to see Dr. Hammond. but he gives me no enoouragement. I have lost all hope. You may think this cowardly, bnt I can bear this suffering no longer. I desire that my property should be equally divided among my own sisters and brother. Good bye. FRANK. The second was: Dear Minneit—Forgive me for bringing so much trouble upon you. I know you would if you knew what I have suffered. God only knows how much. I have been growing worse daily, and am completely discouraged. Had it not beeu for your love and the encouragement you have given me, I could not have kept up so long as I have. I cannot endure the suf-' sering longer. Good-bye. FRANk. ■ 1 The wounded man was taken to a hospital. Surgeons say his chances of recovery are slight. The Scott Liquor Tax. Toledo, July 26.—A decision was rendered in the District Court, to-day, in the cases of Shepherd vs. The Treasurer of Ottawa County and Bollin vs. The Treasurer of Lucas County, by Judge Commoger, Judge Lemmon concurring, being actions on a motion to dissolve the injunctions to prevent the treasurers enforcing distraint to collect the Scott tax The judge held the law constitutional, being so decided by the Supreme Court, but made uo decision on the point whether the Scott law imposed a tax or an assessment If the tax, the court held, could not be collected by distraint before Dec. 20, when the second half of the assessment falls due, it can only be collected after suit and verdict in the treasurers’ favor. The judge, therefore, continued the restraining order till the matters in issue can be determined on trial. Movements of the President. Washington, July 26.— The President left Washington this afternoon on the United States steamer Dispatch, accompanied by John Davis, Assistant Secretary of State, Private Secretary Phillips, Miss Nellie Arthur, and Miss May McElroy.

TIIE CAMPAIGN J' T INDIANA. Gen. Tom Browu ~ /ns the Work In thq District. —A? i An Address le Qualifications of Republican and Democratic Candidates Are Quite Sharply Contrasted, And Containing Some Hints of Special Interest for Colonel Gray. Speech by Hon. Stanton J. Peelle at Martins-ville-Political Conventions and Meetings Elsewhere in the State.

GEN. TOM BROWNE. / A Speech in Which He Pays His Respe/ts to the Democratic Candidates. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Winchester, July 26. —The Republican rally held here to-night was a complete success. All evening delegations from neighboring’ towns and the surrounding country came pogring in, and at BP. m. the streets were crowded. IA torchlight procession of over 1,000 men farmed ou Meridian street and marched to the music of several brass bands and innumerable “sheepskin” bands. A violent storm prevented an open air speech as bad been intended, and the crowd, or rather a small portion of the filled to overflowing, the City Hall. Gen. lh>m Browne, the speaker of the evening, was greeted with cheers on making his appearance on the platform. Gen. Browne spoke as folpws: “Ladies and Fellow-citizens: f wish in beginning to call your attention to the ‘proclamation issued the other evening by Mb Gray, in effect that this was not to be a campaign of private defamation, at least so far as he was concerned, and I wish to congratulate hii on this stand; for I remember that in his speech here four years ago he besmeared ani besmirched the reputation 6f that man whose memory is now enshrined in the hearts of all good men in the Nation It did me some measure of good when I heard him the other night allude to that man wh* is now known as the great Garfield. Mr. Gry has some reasons for leaving personality out f the campaign. I do not wish to speak of Mr. Gray’s private life, but I have something to say of the public record of tho men who have been placed in nomination by the respective political parties for the chief executive of this great nation. “Who is Grover Cleveland? I have had some knowledge of public men,, but I pledge you my word that, until he was nominated by the Democracy of New York far the office of Governor, I never heard of him. The Democracy, in nominating Mr. Cleveland for the presidency, overlooked such men as Bayard, Thurman and Randall, and why! It was because Mr. Cleveland had no record, and these distinguished leaders of Democracy had records; and further, because these records were but the record of the Democratic party itself. However, in the short time Cleveland has been engaged in playing tho statesman he has done something. He has vetoed the bill passed by a Republican Legislature, requiring the elevated railway, a monster corporation of New York city, to charge a five-cent fare. He vetoed the twelvo-hour act, which was for the benefit of the laboring men, and in fact, his every official act has been in sympathy with monopoly. I spare you a recital of the rumors which are afloat regarding the private character of Mr. Cleveland. His statesmanship is not surprising, except as it surprised the poor people whose interests he vetoed, and there is but one other thing in the man that would surprise me, and that is his election to the presidency. [Applause. | “And now, who is Blaine? He has been the leading statesman of the Republican party for almost a quarter of a century. Look at any page of civil history during the days of the rebellion and you will find the name of James G. Blaine written there in letters of living light. [Cheers.] And how was Blaine nominated? Not by political bosses Not a federal office-holder championed bis cause at Chicago. He was nominated by the men who labor in the fields and workshop, and the business men who have never sought office and never expect to hold office. Who is John A. Logan? I hardly need to ask that question. He was the most distinguished of all the volunteer soldiers in the civil war. Democrat as he was, when our flag was insulted, and the Union in danger, he went out at the first tap of the drum. And from Donaldson to the Wilderness, and from Mississippi to the North, he fought for the Union. [Applause and cheers.] “And now, who is Hendricks, and what is hi3 record? [A voice, ’Reform.’] I remember that he once beat a very estimable young man of Randolph county in the race for Governor. The private life of Thomas A. Hendricks is, I believe, absolutely above reproach; but he has the worst political record of any man I ever knew. [Applause.] If he ever did anything that was good, he took it back as soon as he got an opportunity. I believe he was a temperance man once for about thirty days, but he got over that. I remember his speech, in which he says in substance that ‘nobody doubts that the Legislature may by law prohibit the evils iucident to the liquor traffic in the middle of the night.’ But ho thinks that the law that requires saloons to close up at 9 o’clock, fixes rather inconvenient hours for those who want to imbibe. But the novelty of the thing with me was this: if the Legislature had the power to prohibit the traffic in the middle of the night, why could it not prohibit the evils incident to the sale of intoxicating ‘liquors in the day? The explanations, that it : was simply one of Mr. Hendricks's, straddles. Mr. Hendricks was senator in the Congress of the United States during the saddest and most eventful epoch of the Union’s history, and oh! what an opportunity was that to do something or say something in favor of the cause of his country. If there be one in my audience who will name a single vote, or one sentence spoken by him that encouraged the cause of the government against this rebellion, I will agree never to utter another word against the political record of Mr. Hendricks. But you can name nothing, for in every instance we find Mr. Hendricks voting and speaking on the other side of the question; and yet he is the man that they want to make a Democratic Vice-president of the United States. “And now who Is Gray? I remember a gentleman by that name. 1 remember that in 1872, on Feb. 22, be was in a Republican convention trying to get them to nominate him for Lieuten-ant-governor, hut. he didn't get it On the 16th day of June he was in the Democratic convention, but he didn't get anything there. A man has a right, I believe, to chauge his affiliations, especially if he leaves one party in order to get intoa better one, but it has always been a question upon my mind whether Mr. Gray left the Republican party to purify it by his leaving—ana I think he did some in that direction—or whether he left it because it didn't appreciate his talent. Mr. Gray used to say very bitter things about his present co-laborers. I never in a public speech, within my memory, called a Democrat a copperhead. I really thought it was bad enough to say “Democrat.” But that was my friend Gray’s favorite name. He used to enjoy telling an anecdote of the fellow who went into a house and found a white woman hugging a negro. Upon remoustrating, the woman informed him the negro was her husband, and volunteered the information that, though he might think that was bad, her sister had done a great deal worse. ‘And whnt was that?’ asked the fellow, ‘Why,’ answered the woman, ‘My. sister married a Democrat!’ I would not refer to that but for the fact that I have a speech made by Gray in the city of Rich-

PRICE FIVE CEXTS.

mond, in Ma*pb, 1866, in which he charges that if the Demotgatie party had had tho Governor in 1862 they would have carried the State into the rebellion. He said he was in favor of allowing a colored man in the Southern States to vote, but that he would forever disfranchise the white Democrat. He said also that the Democratic party was not only in sympathy with treason, but that it was made up of traitors. Now 1 will give you an extract literally: ■‘ 'Bnt there are some men hi this country who want a law between them and the negro: who are afraid of this thing called amalgamation; who, if they have not a law between them and the negro, think that the first colored woman they meet on the road will rush m their arms and amalgamate them right off. [Laughter.] iiut I don't think my conperhe*d friends need a law of this kind so badly as they think they do. For 1 don’t believe the* there is a respectable negro woman in this country, anywhere that would many a copperhead. But I will tell you what kind of a law I am in favor of. If, I were in the Legislature of Indiana I would vote for a law that would fine and imprison any negro who (right be found in company with a copperhead.’ "That is the opinion that Mr. Gray had of the party that he now expects to elect him Governor of Indiana. You people, with whom Mr. Gray said it was a enme for a negro to associate, are the men he now expects to vote for him this fall. And you will do it, too. You will do it, though you have to hold your noses when you take the dose. The Democratic convention has put up the prescription for yon, and you will swallow it with as much grace as possible under the circumstances. 1 ■’W ho is Calkins? He is a man just forty-two, in the vigor of his just matured manhood He is a man of culture and intelligence; pure in his private life, and untainted by a single suspicion in his public career. [Applause.] For seven years I sat by the side of Major Calkins in Congress. I have heard him in debate. I have seen him lead the charge against the enemy. I have seen him come up from the humble beginnings of anew member until he reached almost the highest committee position in the. gift of Congress, and 1 say to you that when William H. Calkins becomes Governor. and he will become Governor [applause], he will so conduct affairs that every Republican and every Democrat will be proud of him. Again I ask. who is Calkins? He served when almost a boy with distinction in the State Legislature. He won the encomiums of the court and brethren of his profession in the responsible office of prosecuting attorney. At the first bugle blast in 1861 he fell into ranks and served in the army from 1861 to 1863. [Cheers.] He served with honor and distinction, reaching the rank of major. That is Calkins, and I am for him. [Cries of ‘So am I’].” General Browne then spoke at length on “The cry that there is too much money in the national treasury,” and contrasted the condition of the treasury with its present surplus and its state at the close of the Democratic rule in 1860, when there wasn't a cent in the treasury. He spoke of the Democratic party's claim that it would reduce taxation, and yet, having control of the Forty-fourth, Forty-fifth, Forty-sixth and Forty-eighth Congresses, it removed nothing but the tax on quinine. He recommended now that the tariff be taken off of whisky, and then the Democratic party could have a very cheap article of fever and ague. In answer to Hendrick's attack on Secretary Chandler. General Browne said: “I find that in the last six years of Democratic administration, from 1854 to 1860, in this same Navy Department, there were seventeen defalcations of Democratic officials, amounting to $478,000, and here, in twenty-four years of Republican administration, there are $63,000 stolen, and this was stolen by two Democrats.” General Browne spoke at length on the tariff question, taking his stand firmly and squarely for protection, and supporting his position by facts and figures which were not to be controverted.

Captain David Wilson was chosen permanent chairman, and S. G. McCracken, A. H. Horryman and W. A, Hunt secretaries. A committee of one from each township was appointed on resolutions, after which, on motion of Colonel Jordan, the convention adjourned until 1 o’clock to await the arrival of delegates from townships which had not responded to the call. George A. Adams was renominated for representative by acclamation amid great enthusiasm. Mr. Adams was called to the front, and made a short but telling speech, pledging himself to the best interests of the party, national, State, congressional and county. Mr. Adams, at the last election, ran 100 votes ahead of his party, and will increase his vote at the coming election. He is deservedly popular. Dr. Charles Seaton was renominated for treasurer by acclamation. Dr. Seaton has no enemies in any party. W. S. Haltom was renominated for sheriff by acclamation. Mr. Haltom has made a good sheriff, and stands high in the esteem of all Morgan county. G. W. Pearce was nominated on the first ballot for county surveyor, and on motion his nomination was made unanimous. Mr. Pearce is well known and a favorite.. Dr. Grant Monical was nominated by acclamation for the office of coroner. Mr. Monical deserves and will receive the support of the entire party, and will be supported by personal friends out of the party. N. T. Cunningham was nominated on the first ballot for county commissioner from tbe second district. Mr. Cunningham is a favorite all over the county and will carry moro than the party strength. The announcement previously made that the Hon. Stanton J. Peelle would be present and address the meeting contributed largely to the numbers that filled and overflowed the courtroom. Mr. Peelle was introduced by the committee during the convention and all hands and voices united in giving him welcome and a cordial greeting. Mr. Peelle presented the questions at issue in a very strong and effective manner, dwelling largely on the questiou of protection vs. free trade. A synopsis of his speech would be interesting and highly instructive, but let it suffice for this report to say that he was enthusiastically indorsed throughout The Republicans of old Morgan look on Mr. Peelle as the coming man in Indiana, and all wish tht they could get one straight-out, right-handed blow at little Bill English. Mr. Peelle has made many friends here for the entire ticket, and has endeared himself and the cause he represents to every individual who was in his presence today. If the Seventh district will give Mr. Peelle the support he would win in the redistricted Fifth, he would sail on flowery bids of ease, and gain the seat he has won and faithfully, honestly and ably filled in the Forty-eighth Congress for the Forty-ninth. Mr. Peelle has the respect and confidence of all who heard him to-day, and those present were representative men of this county, and largely of this congressional district. fc. R. Shiol. candidate for State Treasurer, came down with Mr. Peelle, and made a very favor-
