Doxey was demanded by the laboring classes of both parties in Madison county, where he was best known. They tore his friends, and with him in the field party lines would be lost sight of. They would all support him. Major Doxey ran his factories at Anderson during the panic of 1873 at a dead loss to himself to give work to those in his employ, and he paid them good and fair wages. He said Major Doxey was not an orator: that when he ought to have been in school he was on the battle-field. “He had an impediment in his speech,” said Senator Henry, “but that impediment was made by a rebel bullet." Whether nominated on not Major Doxey, would, with Madison county Republicans, move on in solid phalanx against the enemy. They were in a Democratic eounty and their work was without hope of reward. They do it for the good of the party. No man had ever been nominated in Madison county who carried the strength tliat Doxey did and will. “Hive us this candidate,” said he, “and we will give you a congressman in November.” It was evident to the most stupid when Senator Henry took his seat that Doxey was as good as nominated. J. B. Milner, of Tippecanoe county, in a well-timed and well-received speech, placed is nomination ex-Senator Langdon, of Lafayette. Each of the unsuccessful candidates addressed the convention after Major Doxey’s nomination was announced, and each pledged his earnest support. Dr. Scull said he had turned His face to the enemy and it would ever be found there. Senator Langdon said he and his family were Republican and he indorsed the work of the convention. The remnant and minority must give way. “You have nominated a man,” said he, “who bears the marks of honorable wounds, which he received in defense of his country. He will enter the halls of Congress not without experience Indeed, he is a man of vast experience, and will do you honor in the councils of the Nation.” Colonel Gray—ls any man has ever expected that I would do anything olse than support the Republican ticket [a voice, “We never have”j I could do nothing else than point to my twenty - four years of Republican record. I think more of my record than any position in the party. We are this year going to bind a book-wi record of twenty-four years—and place Abraffim Lincoln as ’ the frontispiece. [Applausa ] The Democracy need not yet apply. 1 was not a soldier, but always favored the soldier, all else being equal or nearly so. When the- war -broke ■out there were three boys around my mothers table. We held a consultation. It was decided that I should stay at home and protect mother while my brothers went to the front and protected our country. One of them fell by a rebel's bullet. I have heard men say that the soldiers have been paid for their services. Show me tho man who says that, and I will show you a mau who would not stand at five hundred yards distance and let a rebel shoot at him once for all the money paid to soldiers. I am not alarmed at the amount of money in the treasury. We are growing rich under Republican form of government. It was not so under old Buchanan, [Cheers.] I would favor -distributingthe surCto the men who saved the country. They rve it. There were loud calls for Major Doxey, and he briefly addressed the convention. He thanked the Republicans of the Ninth district for having placed in him, the second time, their confidence by a nomination to Congress. He had been successful at the polls before, and he believed be could be this time. He hoped that if there was any ill feeling existing it would be dissipated with the adjournment of tho convention, so that they might all be found marching foot to foot and shoulder to shoulder to success. He was confident of the success of congressional, State and national tickets. When he retired there was more applause and more evidence of approval of the day's work. Mrs. Helen M. G.ougar, of Lafayette, on behalf of the woman suffragists, was granted a hearing. She spoke about twenty minutes in support of the -proposed sixteenth amendment, and offered a resolution in favor of submitting the proposition to a vote of the people. In presenting the resolution she said she would not, and had not asked Major Doxey to pledge himself to support the sixteenth amendment; she did not know how he stood on the question, and did not care to have him say: the fact that the Republican party was the only hope of woman whs enough; she only wanted the convention to say it would favor submitting the question to a popular vote, and not hamper the candidate just placed in nomination. “Under the rale,” said the Chair, “the resolution would go to the committee on resolutions." The rules were finally suspended, the resolution adopted, and the women suffragists made very happy. Dr. Crouse, of Dayton, Tippecanoe county, led in singing “Marching thro' Georgia,” and the convention adjourned amid great enthusiasm. This was the most exciting convention probably ever held in this district The result is very satisfactory, and the Republicans are confident of success. - The aspect of the campaign is very changed from what is usual. Instead of being a defensive campaign, it will be aggressive. Judge Higinbotham and other influential and brilliant speakers will canvass the district for the nominee. The workingmen and soldiers will oqsMtize for him at once. p. & u. Major Charles T. Doxey. Frankfort Banner. Major Doxey cannot make an active campaign speaker, because a rebel bullet shot awny his palate and he is forced to use a rubber one to eat, drink and talk. To let our readers know just how seriously he is afflicted, this fact will be stated: He eaunot drink three swallows of water successively, and the apparent hesitation in speech is caused by the difficulty in Articulation. He is a big-brained, big-liearted man. The wound in his face and mouth is only one of three which afflict him. He is one of the wounded heroes of the war. A mau of large experience in manufacturing and familiar with the wants of laborers and mechanics, having himself been one of their number, and thoroughly Republican, he will be a representative of every live issue of the hour. He is opposed to monopolies, and is thoroughly in favor of the American idea. He is a leader and will rally to bis support an active force who will give him the largest majority ever given any one in-this district His personal habits ure above reproach. He is a sober man every day in the year. He is liberal and kind to the poor. He has no time to fight his personal enemies, but will take up the standard of the party and aided by the comrades of the late war and the earnest workers of the pffi-ty will carry it forward to victory next November. wnx HE WITHDRAW? A -Great Democratic Paper Prints an Article Demanding Cleveland's Retirement. Nkw York, Aug. I.—Under the heading, “Never Too Late to Mend,” the Sun, this morning, prints a double-leaded letter from Saratoga, signed, “Veteran Observer,” advising tho Democratic national committee to tell Mr. Cleveland that his nomination was a mistake, or premature and nominate Tildeu in his stead. As to Tilden’s accepting the nomination, the writer, after quoting from Tilden’s letters of declination, says: "Mr. Tilden is a patriot as well as statesman. He would do anything to serve his country. He has no false pride. His consent, under such circumstances, would be the crowning glory of his life.” Ike letter is dated July 31. MANNING’S STILL HUNT.

this town. If you had asked for the Democrats who are going to vote for Blaine, I could have sent you a long list. Request second —Please designate such as openly declare for Cleveland and Hendricks by mark X before the names. Reply—As there are no such Republicans in this town, yon will have to excuse me. Request third —Put in this list the names of no pronounced Republicans. Reply—They are all pronounced Republicans, and are all pretty d—ish pronounced, too. Ido not know of a shaky one among them. Request fourth —Please keep a copy of list sent us; and notify this committee, from time to time of any changes or additions thereto. Reply—All right, Dan, when I hear of such a name I'll add it That will make one. But don't look for it m a hurry. Request fifth—Keep e advised of matters of particular interest in your district to the end that we may work together and effectively in the canvass. Reply—l'll do that, Daniel; and to start with I will inform you that there is much interest hereabouts among all classes of people to know why the Democratic papers do not deny the terrible story told about the abduction of a deceived and betrayed Buffalo girl. Maria Halpin, by Gro-ver Cleveland, and shutting her up by hired ruffians in an insane asylum, under the false charge that she was insane, from which she was discharged as soon as the phyrieians examined her. Every man I have talked with hereabouts says that if the story is true Grover Cfievelaud must never disgraoe the United States by being elected its chief magistrate. If it is not trae, then the friends of Mr. Cleveland, and especially every Democratic pnper in the country, should brand the story as an infamous lie, and, as yet, the story is not denied by any Democratic paper or personal friend of Mr. Cleveland, and under this state of things people in this section of the country can come to but one conclusion. As you have kindly asked me to keep you advised of matters hereabouts which need looking niter, please answer me by return mail, whether these terrible stories in relation to the private habits and of the Democratic candidate for tho presidency of the United States are true or not,‘for 1 assure you. my dear Manning, there is no way in the world in which we can “work together in the canvass” so effectually as to be able to contradict and prove as a lie those terrible statements in relation to our candidate. Hoping to hear from yon, my dear Manning, on this subject, without delay, I am truly -yours, William Hanky Smith.

THE PRESIDENT’S POSITION. Marshal Me Michael's Remarks Upon Mr. Arthur’s Course. PhiUdalßhia Tines. “I don’t see what you newspaper people mean by saying that President Arthur is not supporting Blaine,” remarked Clayton MeMiuhael, United States marshal of the District of Colum-. bia. “I am, the circumstances of my position brought into friendly, I will not say intimate, relations with the President and the mcm bers of his-Cabinet The President has spoken to me four or five times about the election, and : declared that the Republican candidates must be successful. He and the administration generally will do every legitimate thing in their power to bring about that result. Mr. Arthur has been criticised by some zealous partisans because he has not issued a Blaine manifesto, or announced that he would take the stump, or done some other absurd thing. He can l>e a warm advocate of Mr. Blaine without sacrificing the dignity of his office. He set out to make a respectable administration. He has succeeded, and he will remain in the path upon which be has entered. President Arthur has conscientiously observed the civil-service rules. He enforced them to the injury of bis own prospects when the contest for the nomination was going on. It was anew thing to see a collector of a port actively working against the interests of the President, by whose will he had the place. Mr. Arthur meaus to continue to vigorously enforce those same rules.” “But is said that be lias recently put in office men known to bo inimical to Blaine,” was suggested. “That is another untrue and absurd statement. What would be the sense of such a pro coeding, or the justice of it to tho men themselves? Could they expect more from the Democrats if successful than from any element of their own party? Mr. Arthur wanted the nomination, and he would be more than human if he did not feel some disappointment at his failure to secure it, but that feeling has not carried him to the length of turning against the candidate of his party.” “Wnat do you gather from your intercourse with leaders as to the outlook?’’ “The leaders whom I have met are sanguine of a Blaine triumph. I have not that feeling. I am willing to make a hard fight Many of the leaders place a great deal of store by the disaffection of ,tiie labor vote. I don't think that is going to count for much in the end. In a presidential contest people do not vote according to their prejudices. ”

SARCASTIC MR. JONES. The New York Green backer's Pungent Response to General Butler. I.etter in Boston Traveller. Several of yesterday's papers contain what purports to be an interview with General Butler, published in Monday's Traveller. The errors, lack of correct reasoning, and unseemly language contained in the article re- ! ferred to compel me to think some enemy of General Butler must have prepared and sent it over the wires for the express purpose of injuring his reputation for veracity, good sense, and good manners—qualities the want, of which I never before saw evidence of or heard him charged with lacking. First—He is made to say, “I bolted the convention because he was nominated." This statement is not true, as all present are aware; besides, on the day following his nomination, May 80, the Associated Press dispatches of the 31st bear witness that I issued an appeal to the Greenbackers ot this State, urging them, for the sake of party, to wait patiently for General Butler’s answer to the action of the convention, adding “that if lie accepted onr nomination and in ; dorsed our platform I should give him my sup- < port in the canvass and at the polls, and that I regarded it the sacred duty of all members of the party to do likewise." Second —He is made to say our party has a candidate who has already accepted the nomination. Now, if that is the case, no announcement of the fact has ever yet been made public, or if it lias, it has escaped my attention and that of a large majority of the Greenhackers of the country. It certainly cannot be found in the letter he addressed to the committee appointed to notify him of his nomination, and he is a man of too much sense and learning to say it can be. Therefore, I do not believe he ever uttered the statement attributed to him. Third—He is made to ask why Ido not go to work and organize the canvass in this State, and in the same paragraph,and apparently in the samo connection, to say: “It would appear to me as an outsider, but holding a different posi tion, I think I should say what I wish, hope, and desire to my friends and not to my enemies, and at such times as I think it will best serve my friends and not my enemies.'' Now, Mr. Editor, I give General Butler credit for possessing too much common sense to have ever uttered these statements; he certainly would not say to his enemies, go on and spend your time and money in carrying on a canvass for his personal interest or that of his friends, and at the same time withhold his confidence from those bearing such burdens. No one could seriously think bis enemies so foolish as that, and especially Greenhackers, who are actuated by their principles, and not to serve the personal ends of any man or bis particular friends. Nor do I believe General Butler places so low an estimate on the candidacy which has been tendered him as to proclaim himself in the political market for any such purpose as the language attributed to him indicates. Nor do I believe he would condescend to the vulgarism of a “Tombs lawyer,” as indicated in the last sentence in the reported interview, in self-aggrand-izement over his worst enemy, much less when speaking of one who has always spoken respectfully to and of him in all his public utterances. Truly great meu never exalt themselves, and seldom try to belittle others. Public opinion generally places men in their right position in this life, and history, if they make one, after they are dead. Regarding General Butler as a man of great intelleetnal force and executive ability, a man

who has made a great impress on the age in which he lives, one who has secured a larger personal friendship and following than almost any other of his day and generation, I cannot permit that reported interview to pass without again expressing the belief that it emanated from some designing enemy of General Butler, who wished to injure him in the minds es all intelligent, well-bred and good-intentioned people. George O. Jones. GRESHAM AND THOMPSON. Short Talks with the Peetnuttetor-General and the Ex-Secretary of the Navy. Chicago Times. Postmaster-general Gresham was at the Grand Pacific Hotel last night. Tho nearest friend of President Arthur was in a most gracious frame of mind when met by a reporter, but his utterances were eKtretaeiy guarded. He prefaced all of his statements by the remark that he had been rusticating in the wilds at Indiana for the last two weeks, and knew positively nothing of politics, and would vesture no opinion on Indiana. more than to say he thought the Republicans would carry the State. “Who is going to be Judge Drummond's successor?” asked the reporter. “I don’t know." “Will you be?” “I don’t know.” “Will the administration support Blaine?” “I don’t kn I don’t think it is neqessary for tho administration to go around protesting its fealty to Bteine." “Commodore” R. W. Thompson, of Indiana, Secretary of the Navy under Mr. Hayes, and a private citizen fiver aince, was at the Grand Pacific yesterday. He spent most of the day in bed, but when be finally roused himself last night he informed # reporter that Blaine would certainly carry Indiana “Why, Indiana is naturally a Republican State,” he said, and when the reporter wanted to know why it had so often gone Democratic, he explained that it was on account of the Greenback vote. “Neither the Republican nor the Democratic party,” he said, “have had a majority -in the State for some years. It has gone by pluralities and the Green hackers have the balance of power. They will go for Blaine tins year, and we will also get a large Democratic vote which believes in a protective tariff." “How about the Prohibition .vote?" “Oh, that will not amount to anything. The Prohibitionists arc so split up that thoy can not agree on anything.” .In respouse to the question, “Are you going on the stump this.falls" Mr. Thompson said: “I am an old mau. I am nearly eighty years of age. I have been through thirteen presidential campaigns. lam not able to go on the stump vigorously. I have been asked to, but to do so I haven't the strength. 1 may make a few 'speeches—one or two—but I shan’t take any 'active part No, lam too old.” THE BUFFALO SCANDAL. A Demand that Mr. Cleveland Institute a Criminal Prosecution. Albany Times (Dom.) The Democratic campaign opens to night in this city. There-is one job on hand that -grows no less by delaying it, that is, stamping out what is known as the Buffalo Telegraph scandal. It is spreading like a dry rot into every State and connty and towthip in the Union, and wherever it goes, and so long as it goes, uncontradicted it withers and scorches and shrivels the prospects of Mr. Cleveland. It is time to stop it, and the only way is the manly way. The man and the paper which have put these infamous stories into print are tangible. They can be reached in au hour’s time. Let, then, a prosecution for criminal libel be instituted before another day rolls around. But it may be said that it is beneath the dignity of a Governor or a -candidate for the Presidency to stoop to a libel suit. We do not think so. It is a duty Governor Cleveland owes himself; but he also owes it to the party and to the conn try. His candidacy has been largely based upon his personal character; the independents were expected to vote fox him iargoly on that account, and without their help it is admitted that he cannot be elected. It is time such tactics were rendered dangerous to whoever resorts to them, and a sharp lesson taught now would be beneficial for years to come. Mr. Cleveland should not allow his official dignity to stand in the way. The suit he should lose no time in bringing would also result in something. It would, no doubt, clear liis character, it may save the party from defeat, and it would certainly teach the American people that private character must not be ruthlessly assailed, even in a presidential canvass.

I’ROF. RICHARD T. RREENKR. A Colored Orator Who Will Engage In Campaign Work in Ohio and Indiana. Special to tbo ludiaeapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. I.—Prof. Richard T. Greener, the eminent colored orator, will engage in campaign work for Blaine and Logan in Ohio early in August. Mr. Greener is not only one of the ablest speakers of his race, but he is a man of thorough education, and well posted on all the national questions of the day. flis work for the Republioau party in South Carolina, during the trying times of reconstruction, has made him cordially hated by every Bourbon in the South. Ho was.the first colored graduate from Howard University, and is a mau of great literary ability. After the October election Mr. Greener will take the stump in Indiana for Galkins and the congressional ticket He will, of course, not neglect the national campaign, as he is an ardent admirer of General Logan. Greener has, perhaps, more weight with the eolored voters than any other .colored speaker. The reason is, first he knows just -what to say. is always prepared, and is never pedantic; secondly, be holds no government office, and cannot bo accused of speaking in his own behalf. CALKINS AT WINCHESTER An Enthusiastic Greeting from Five Thousand Citizens of Randolph County. Special to the ImlisnupoUa Journal WiNCiussTKR, Aug. I—-Randolph county gave a glorious reception to night to Major Galkins. Large delegations arrived early from Lynn, Spartanburg, Farmland, and Ridgeville. A special train brought -eight hundred from Union City. A grand torch-light procession, headed by beautifully doeoratod carriages, filled with ladies, formed at the depot and moved to the grand stand where an audience of over five thousand people were collected, ready to hear the speech of the next Governor of Indiana. As soon as the crowd could be quieted Gen. Tom. Browne introduced Major W. H. Calkins, the speaker of -the evening. Major Calkins was greeted with hoarty cheers, which subsided into perfect quiet the moment speaking began. The audience listened with close attention to as fine a speech ns was ever delivered in Winchester. It was easy to soe that Randolph county had fallen iu love with -the gallant and genial Calkins, and that tho Republican majority in November would be oven larger than ever. At the close of Major Calkins's speech, Hon. Eugene 11. Bundy and R. 11. Shiel were introduced to the audience, and each made a short speech. Tho meeting was closed with three hearty cheers for the Republican party and ticket. _ POLITICAL NOTES. Montgomery County Republicans Organizing for Campaign Work.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS A Harrison County Woman Brutally Beaten by Masked Ruffians. A German Tailor Pound Bead in His Room— Au Insane Man Attempts to mil His Wife and Himself. INDIANA. A Woman Cruelly Beaten by a Crowd of Masked Ruffians. New Albany, Aug. I.—On Wednesday night in Spencer township, Harrison county, twentyfive miles west of this city, a gang of twenty masked men went to the residence of Mrs. Sallie Tipton, a widow, at midnight, and, taking her from her bed, tied her to a tree near her residence and gave her a most cruel beating with hisekory switches. The wretched woman fainted twice during her savage torture, the miscreants resuscitating her by throwing water upon her. The woman’s shrieks for mercy were heard a quarter of a mile away by a neighbor, but not suspecting the eause then and the night being very dark, he did not go out to investigate. After this terrible torture of their defenseless victim, the scoundrels unloosed her from the tree and departed, warning her that unless she left the neighborhood in twenty days they would aeain visit her and inflict still severer punishment. The poor woman, it is said, was suspected of being unchaste. and these supposedly highly moral citizens took this method of preserving the virtue of the neighborhood. The rascals guilty of this brutality belong to a regularly-organised gang in Harrison county known as the “Knights of the Hickory Switch.” Found Dead iu His Boom.

Cline's income is ample to enable him to purchase all the valuables found in his possession, and it also appears that the losses of the guests of the hotel were not so largo as represented. Cline's friends have the utmost confidence in his honesty, and decline to believe anything derogatory concerning him. The detectives are reported to have abandoned the ease. ILLINOIS.
