He ones long ago reached the conclusion that their party was being betrayed by the leaders Into Democratic hands. Democratic organs are lifting their voices In an unmusical chorus in which the words "election carried,” “violence,” “corruption,” "Republican party” and “revolution” may be distinguished. This death wail may serve to make the last hours of the party easier, but the verdict will be, “Died from a preponderance of honest votes.” According to the Louisville Courier-Jour-nal’s insulting allegation, that votes could be bought in Indiana at $2 each, the Louisville Democrats have arranged to buy not less than 5,000 on Tuesday next, SIO,OOO having been raised in that city for that purpose on Saturday last. ™ The majority for General Hancock in New York city four years ago was 41,285. Garfield's majority over him in the rest of the State was 62,318. Deducting the city majority for Hancock, Garfield’s net majority over him in the State was 21,033. Even Napoleon could not prevail upon the Church of Rome to sanction his putting away of the Empress Josephine. Is it strange, then, that Catholics have no love for a man like Cleveland, who scorns even tho form of honorable marriage? We are in receipt of a letter from Dublin reiterating what Mrs. M. L. Wells is alleged to have said in that place. Time and space are both too precious to waste on last year's birds’ nests. That falsehood has been thor oughly exposed. So far as we remember, Governor Cleveland has never been accorded a reception by the representative women of the country. One of the most significant of the many given Mr. Blaine was that by the women in Brooklyn yesterday. The preachers of Indianapolis, of Buffalo, and of New York city have unqualifiedly condemned the candidature of a man like Cleveland. On his own admission he is unfit to hold any office. THE thousand and twenty preachers who called on Mr. Blaine at New York on Wednesday were not the kind of men who must rush to apologize for Cleveland as a measure of self-defense. To the Editor of the Indianapolis .Journal: Please state in Friday’s Journal what Robinson’s majority was for Secretary of State in Ohio, if any. Reader Cakbon, Ind., Oct 29. His plurality was 11,321.

POLITICAL NOTE •AND GOSSIP. Daniel W. Yoobhees: “Thank God, we have a candidate with a neck as thick as ray thigh, and a head like a bull’s.” Philadelphia Press: To the pure all things are pure—and there yoa have a complete map of the affectionate admiration of Henry Ward Beecher for Grover Cleveland. Speaker Carlisle, of Kentucky, said to a gentleman recently: “I have never considered the campaign anything else but a walk-over for Blaine ever since the moment Cleveland was nominated.” Louisville Commercial: The speeches made by Mr. Hendricks in his tour, as printed in the newspapers, have been all the time admittedly the weakest made by any of the national candidates now perambulating the country. Cleveland Herald: “There are thousands and thousands of Republicans who cannot vote for Blaine,” says the New York Times. Os course there are. They live in the South, and the shotgun keeps them from the polls. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: Outside of political issues, we would be willing to stake all the money we could command that the American people will never make a President of any man who has a bastard child running about his city. Our Prohibition friends will read with interest that at the Brooklyn barbecue, which Governor Cleveland recently attended, 5,000 kegs of beer were dispensed from eighteen bars. “Vote for St. John—Anything to Beat Blaine,” was one of the legends over the bars. The sheriff of a Kentucky county bordering on the Ohio river declared about two days ago that the Democrats will carry Ohio next Tuesday, and that they had raised Kentucky money for that purpose. He offered a Republican of Clermont county $250 if he would carry two precincts in that county for Cleveland Another forgery is laid at the doors of the New York Evening Post. It published a statement purporting to come from Mr. Ralph Stone, to the effect that Rev. Dr. Van Bokkelen “is a Warm supporter of Cleveland.” Mr. Stone denies making such a statement. It isn’t a good day's work for that paper when it doesn't get in a few forgeries. Only last year Mr. St. John publicly declared his opposition to the formation af a national Prohibition party, remarking witn emphasis that Success in Kansas had not been obtained by any •uch means. At that time it had not occurred i.o Mr. St. John that a close alliance with the party of “rum and ruin” was a divine agency for the spread of temperance. With reference to his approaching seventieth birthday, Mr. Beecher once said that he had long before resolved to retire from public view when bo had reached that age, realizing the danger that a mind which had been so long and persistently active might lose its power of judgment and perception. Mr. Beecher's seventieth birthday was June 24, 1883. Philadelphia Press: St John is meandering through the State of New York telling the people that the way to establish constitutional prohibition is to turn the Government over to the party of free whisky and no Sunday. St. John is not a demagogue. A demagogue always has some sense and never insults the people by presuming that they are iools. The independent committee in New York is being quoted in Democratic papers as having 85,000 names of voting Republicans on its list, but the correspondent of the Washington Star was told at the independent headquarters that theso figures were without authority from them, and that they had no idea what the strength of their movement was in New York State. J. Y. Admire, editor of the Osage City (Kan.) Free Press, says of St John: His present hos tility to the Republican party grows simply and solely out of the fact that he was too big a load for the party in Kansas to carry. Being politically dead and damned as a Republican he seeks to build anew political party, of which he hopes to be the groat leader. He has but ono idea, and his polical platform has but one plank, and that Is John P. St. John. The peoplo of Kansas already understand this, and the people of the IJnitbd States will soon learn it. T want to make

a prediction: John P. St. John will not receive 5,000 votes in tho whole State of Kansas on the 4th day of next November. New York Commercial Advertiser: Chairman Barnum, while searching diligently for “mules,” has discovered that the Republicans propose to buy the votes of several dozen States next month, and accordingly he sent out yesterday, a long address to Democratic voters, prayerfully urging them not to sell themselves. Mr. Barnum pays a high compliment to the voters of his party. Baltimore Herald: When the Democrats wake up on the morning of Nov. 5, and find In dianu again under the Republican banner they will realize that political perfidy receives its due reward the same as otner forms of dishonesty. It is safe to say that in Mr Hendricks’s defeat Mr. McDonald will find nothing to regret. To him it will be political as well as poetical justice. New York Sun: Another week remains for sober thought ere the final blow will bo struck in this most extraordinary presidential contest. As the close of the struggle draws near, the prospect of a victory for the Democrats becomes dimmer. The fate that awaits them is due to their folly in allowing an ignorant and debased candidate to be forced upon them by a small faction of grumbling Republicans. New York Sun: Henry Ward Beecher’s let ter to Mr. Joy, which we publish elsewhere, is a wonderful production to come from such a source. This wretched reprobatei, who seduced his friend's wife and perjured himself over and over, presumes to accuse another of falsehood, and to threaten him with hell fire in a way that might make Satan smile. No more shameless villain than Beecher was ever seen. Norristown Herald: The publishers of the Century say the edition of the magazine for November is the largest ever printed. The object of the big edition is obvious. The November number contains an article entitled, “How Shall We Elect our Presidents.” and the publishers expect every Democrat in the country to buy a number'in order to learn an art of which they have been ignorant for more than twentyfive years. Boston Journal: “The Democratic newspapers,” said a commercial traveler at the Quincy House yesterday, as he laid, down the Herald, “must see things differently from what the business men I meet in New York do. I travel for a Now York house, consisting of three men who have always been Democrats, two of them from the South. When I left on Friday, one of them told mo that the firm were all for Blaine, and that if I wanted to vote for Blaine to come back and my expenses would be paid.” An Ohio Republican; writing from Mobile, Ala., Oct. 25, says: “It is a known fact down here that the Democratic party are collecting money from all workmen who are unfortunate enough to be working for Democratic firms. The money is to be used in the Northern States for corrupting the ballot-box on the 4th of next month. This wholesale bleeding extends throughout the iron region in Birmingham, Montgomery anti all other places where men are employed. The Sioss furnace, at Birmingham, assessed their employes $1 each, and they had to come down or leave, white or black.” The Sunday Capital, which has been rated as a Cleveland organ during the campaign, says, among other things: “We regard Indiana as certain to give a majority for Blaine, and shall not be astonished if it goes to 10.000. Indiana will go Republican for the same reasons that it went Republican four years ago. We do not regard Mr. Hendricks as of the slightest importance as a political factor in the campaign. He belongs to a past age, and is a hindrance, rather than a help to his party. There is not margin enough on either side to bet upon, but viewing the whole situation candidly, we think that Mr. Blaine's chances are slightly better than those of Mr. Cleveland.” Democrats always boast before an election, and whine after it. and there was never a better illustration of this characteristic than is now furnished by the defeated tricksters of Ohio. The chairman of the Republican State committee shows them up effectively as follows: “Beaten at the polls, with their schemes to stuff the bal lot-box and defeat the popular will detected and exposed, with a campaign fund of $275,000 wasted on ward strikers and political deadbeats, convicted as cheats and liars, these Democratic managers now howl like whipped curs over their merited misfortunes, and afford to the world another verification of the truth that ‘the way of the transgressor is hard. ’ ”

COL. DUDLEY'S FUTURE, He will Eschew Politics and Devote His Time to Business Pursuits. P. 8. Ffontli in Washington Critic. I have information of the mot reliable character concerning the political and business future of Colonel \V r . W. Dudley, Commissioner of Pensions. Those busybodies who are locating him in Blaine’s Cabinet with the Interior portfolio can stop their worry. Ho will not be in Blaine's Cabinet nor in any other political piace. It was printed in the newspapers shortly after Colonel Dudley went into Ohio that there was an understanding that he was to go into the incoming Cabinet, and that Mr. Blaine had sent for him to come up to Augusta for the purpose of arriving at that understanding, This is altogether untrue. Mr. Blaine did send for Colonel Dudley, but it was for the purpose of consulting with him regarding the probability of carrying Indiana lam told that after Colonel Dudley had spoken his opinion regarding the outlook in his State that he said emphatically that he was positively out of the political harness and intended remaining out; that he had signed the article of partnership for a permanent business engagement with Mr. Bateman, broker and banker, and that no political position could induce him to cancel that agreement: that Mr. Bateman had removed his family to New York on the strength of the partnership understanding. However, the Colonel assured the next President that nothing would be left unturned to bring about Republican success, and to be situated so that he could act perfectly free and place himself beyond the pale of Democratic criticism he would resign from the Commissionership of Pensions. The work tiiat he should do for the party would be done without any possible expectation of reward. It has been published in this State, too, that Colonel Dudley has his weather optic on the United States sonatorship, and should the Legislature elected on the 4th of November be Republican that he may become a candidate to succeed Mr. Voorhees. This is also untrue for the potent, patent and positive reason above stated. Colonel Dudley has in mind now the getting of competence. He wants to lay up against cold and rainy Jays in political and business adveisities a sullieient number of smollens to warrant a full stomach and warm back. A Drunken Legislature. The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution gives Colonel Nat Hammond as authority for the following story: “The most opposite help ever given one speaker by another was given to mo by Judge Lawson Black during the convention of 1808. 1 was opposing granting tho Legislature certain powers, and extravagantly exclaimed: ‘Suppose the very day this came up the Legislature should he drunk?’ An opponent asked: ‘Can the gentleman conceive of such a thing happening?’ As quick as thought Judge Black arose and stated that such a thing not only could happen, but actually did happen, and that he was in the Legislature when it occurred. He then explained that before the war, when the Trezevant claim was before the House, the lob byists for the claim had given a big wine supper, at which the whole House was present. They had imbibed very freely and were all drunk. General Toombs opposed the claim. At the night session the vote was taken, and the House roared ‘Yes.’ General Toombs, almost alone, voted ‘No.’ He was shrewd enough, however, to call ‘Division.’ ‘Those in favor of the motion will rise,’ called the Speaker. A full half-minute was given. Not a man on tho affirmative was able to rise to the division. General Toombs did rise when tho negative was called, and defeated tho claim by one to nothing. ” Our readers will not bo so very foolish that they will allow themselves to bo deceived with a new cough syrup when they have experienced the value of Dr.'Bull's Cough Syrup for many years.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1884.

POLITICAL INFORMATION. The Desperate Democracy Importing Money and Voters from Kentucky. Treasurer Cooper’s Circular to Prohibit ionists —Local News of the Progress of tho Campaign—General Notes. A business man at Louisville, writing to a friend in Indiana, says that early last week the Democrats of that city began sending information to the Democratic politicians in Kentucky that the battlo-ground would be Indiana, and if the State could be carried by the Democrats Cleveland and Hendricks would certainly be elected. They were urged, therefore, to send money and men to Indiana. In a small village in Barren county, the writer of the letter said, SSOO had been raised on last Saturday, and they had sent over into Indiana as many men as they thought prudent. “I am satisfied,” the author of the letter says, “that Kentucky will send more money and more men than ever before. Every precinct in the border counties should be guarded. ” The following is a part of a letter from a prominent man at Owensboro, Ky: “I have what I regard as reliable information that a systematic effort will be made by Democrats of Union county, Kentucky, to vote in Posey county, Indiana. Democrats here have during to-day and yesterday made a thorough canvass from house to house to collect money to send to Indiana, and they have raised quite a large sum. The amount raised is from SSOO to SI,OOO. The Kentucky Democrats have never been so desperate as now. They are making what they regard as a last dying struggle. I tell you there is a wholesale scheme of fraud on foot. The Mississippi plan is going to be inaugurated along your border, if you do not take instant measures to defeat it. “Pardon me for writing so earnestly, but the disposition of the Democrats here alarms me.” JOHN J. COOPER’S LITTLE SCHEME. The Journal has repeatedly asserted that the so-called “Prohibition third party” in Indiana was really a Democratic annex, and additional proof is now furnished in circulars, thousands of which John J. Cooper, Democratic candidate for State Treasurer, is sending to voters in all parts of the State. These contain a number of his “pasters,” with the request that they be used on Republican tickets, and when they are sent to gentlemen who are known or thought to be temperance men, a postscript is addressed as follows: “As you are aware, there is a secret alliance between ours and the ‘Prohibition party.’ I think I cau rely on you to vote accordingly. J. J. Cooper.” It is evident that Mr. Cooper has little confidence in the success of the entire Democratic ticket, and hopes to pull through himself by obtaining votes in such a manner as that indi cated above. If there ever was a political demagogue, that man is John J. Cooper. MR. HENDERSON GIVES THE SNAP AWAY. In a confidential letter to the chairman of the Central committee in Monroe county, written last Monday, Eb. Henderson made the statement that the Republicans have a majority of 4,000 in Indiana, and that there are 28,000 floaters, of which the Republicans will get more than half. If the committee did not raise money by Wednesday evening, he said th“‘ c none would come, but that it would go to New York and Connecticut. He said that Matson, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Fifth district, could only be elected by the hardest work, and therefore he could not be traded. Asa postscript to the letter, it may be added that the money was received and is now being lavishly distributed. notes. The following bets were offered at the “Office” pool room last night and not taken: SSO to S4O that Ross beats Carter for sheriff: SIOO to $75 on the same proposition: S2OO that Blaine is elected. Well-authenticated information was received yesterday stating that twenty-five men had been sent into Indiana this week from Covington and Newport, Kentucky, to vote and work for the Democratic ticket. The report comes that William L. Manson, of South Covington. Kentucky, said to be related General Manson, the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant-governor, is making arrangements to bring a party of twenty roughs to this city on Sunday or Monday. Large numbers of men are being hired this week along tho line of tho Louisville. Evansville & St. Louis railroad, and taken out along the line to work. None but Republicans are employed, and the o\>jecT is to get them away from homo on election day, so they will loso ibeir votes. A saloon-keeper on North Illinois street, who. has made up his mind to vote for Blaine and Logan, has been much bothered by little Democratic politicians who have been making life burdensome to him. Yesterday ho got relief by swearing by the great horn spoon if ho wasn't let alone he would vote the entire Republican ticket. . “Don’t give me away.” said an Irish friend to the reporter, “and I’ll give ye a little civil-service reform snap now going on at the Insane Asylum. If I’m found out, off will go my head, but every one of us, no matter what wages we get, from the lowest to the highost, from sl2 a month to SIOO a month, has been assessed 25 per cent, on salary for the benefit of the Democratic campaign fund.” The Sentinel yesterday published a list of names of alleged “indignant Catholics” over the action of Father O'Neill in taking a cane to New York to be presented to Mr. Blaine. Among these names was that of Thomas Markey. a man of high standing among mechanics and the church people, and he stated last night that the use of his name in that connection was totally unauthorized, and he was not even asked to sign the paper, and would not have done so if he had been.

SWALLOWED AN OUNCE OP POISON. The Determined Effort Made by William Toby, a Plumber, to Shuffle Off. William Toby, a plumber boarding at No. 73 North Alabama street, yesterday afternoon swallowed a half-ounce of lnudman and the same quantity of chloroform, With the intention of killing himself. A few moments before a vial containing the fatal dose was taken from him and broken, but he immediately purchased more. He was found a few moments after swallowing the drug, and before he became unconscious was removed to the police station, where Dr. Hodges, the police surgeon, worked with him for over two hours, and finally gave up the case as a hopeless one. The galvanic battery had no perceptible effect upon him, and it was believed impossible for him to recover. Ho was left to die. Last night at 10 o’clock he began to manifest symptoms ot recovery, and in an hour or two he again became conscious. He was re moved to the City Hospital, and the doctors now say that he will recover. He is about thirty-five years old, and has no relatives in this city, hut his mot her and two sisters livo near New Albany. Charles A. Merchant, the plumber who was found dead in his room iu the Grand Opera houso Block, last Monday, was his partner in work, and there is no other reason given for his attempt at suicide than a drunken freak to kill himself and join his partner. Keorgani/.ation of the Indianapolis National. Tho Indianapolis National Bank, which lias had a lone and honorable businoss career, will to day go through the formality of a reorganization under a now chartor, which extends its corporate existence for twenty years, or until Oct. 31, 1904. The hank was organized under the

national banking act, just twenty years ago, yesterday, with Theodore P. Haughey as presi dent, which position he has since retained. Mr. Henry Latham, the cashier, has been in that place for fifteen years, and to the good judgment, prudence and discretion of these gentlemen tho successful career of the bank can be greatly attributed. It has always pursued a safe and conservative course, and while many other banks around it have failed, it has retained the confi dence of the business community to an unusual extent. With the same officers, and substantially the same directors, under its new charter, a continuation of its prosperous career may bo expected. FLETCHER k SHARPE S AFFAIRS. The Special Committee of the Depositors Report the Results of Their Investigations. Shortly after the failure of Fletcher & Sharpe’s Bank a special committee, consisting of Michael O'Connor, William R. Watson and A. W. Hatch, was appinted by tho depositors to fully investigate the affairs of the bank and report the results of their researches at an adjourned meeting. That meeting was held in the Circuit Court room last night, and there was an attendance of about three hundred, many of whom were ladies. F. J. Van Vorhis was called to the chair and A. W. Hatch was made secretary. The committee made quite a lengthy report, many of the facts given by them being already generally known. The principal points of interest are contained In the following extract: “The bids receivable account of the bank amounts to $1,286,322.52: of this amount Ingram Fletcher owes $448,286.74 and Albert Fletcher $221,831.28, and they jointly, $79,806.96, making a total of $749,574.98; and in consideration of this indebtedness they have deeded all their property to the bank, amounting to and appraised at $404,055. The remainder of the bills receivable account, $536,747, is appraised at $260,790. To the best of our knowledge and information a dividend of about 25 per cent, will eventually be realized by the depositors on their deposits from the assets of Stoughton Fletcher. “The business methods and policy of this bank, whorein its resources have, through four or five parties alone, become fixed in real estate and manufacturing corporations, contrary to the banking maxims of all ages, are not to be approved; but wo may say that in the course of our investigations we have discovered nothing which can in the least degree criminate the man agement of the bank in question- * * * “On the 31st of December, 1878, the indebtedness of Ingram Fletcher was $141,731.70, and that of Albert Fletcher was $87,093. When asked to explain the large increase of his indebtedness since that date, Ingram Fletcher said: ‘I paid interest'on this amount at rates of 12. 10 and 8 per cent. My city tux was from $1,500 to $1,700 a year, and my county tax $2,500 a year.' When the cost of tho repairs, improvements, etc., made upon his property, is added to the amount of interest and taxes as above, it may readily bo seen how liis account reached such proportions.” Tho report goes on to commend tho economy of Receiver Wallace, in tho administ ration of his trust, and contains lengthy affidavits from W. T. Fenton, and T. P. Haughey. to tho effect that all the transactions bet ween Fletcher & Sharpe and the Indianapolis national banks were bona fide, and for proper considerateD. Tne report of* the committee was variously discussed by the creditors present, and many questions were asked and answered. No action was taken further than to add to the committee W. F. Christian and Hiram Seibert, with directions for them to continue their re: searches and report at another meeiing, to be held in two weeks.

Who Shall Bo Our Next Governor? To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I‘lease allow me, through the medium of your paper, to call the attention of our most active and conscientious temperance workers to the importance of securing iu positions of trust and responsibility tho very best material which, by any possibility, it is in our power to do. Let me ask all honest temperance men: Which would you prefer .should bo Governor of our great State—that man Gray, who recently left vour Republican party, a sore-head, and with a great thirst for office, or the lion. W. H. Calkins? Ono of these is morally sure to be our next Governor. From Gray’s known hatred ot the temperance cause, it is almost certain that he would veto any temperance laws that the Legislature might pass. With Gray for Governor, wo have no hope of any legal advancement in the temperance cause, for the jpext four years. With Major Calkins for Governor, we have a man of talent, a statesman and a man pledged to aid in the promotion of the temperance cause. It is to be hoped that some of those fanatical temperance preachers who, in the fruitfulness of thdir imaginations come out almost every succeeding day with some new slander upon Calkins, will keep up their dirty work till election day, for it is getting so monotonous that oven decent temperance men are becoming disgusted, and are declaring that they will vote for Calkins if they never cast another vote while tho world stands. .Such, iu part, has been my own experience. At the time the Prohibition nominations were made I was partial to that ticket; but, knowing, as do, the principal charges against Calkins to be false, 1 have decided, long since, to support, at least, one man of whom the State can feel proud when lie becomes our Governor. E. C. Overman. The Evansville Lie on Major Calkins. Evansville Journal. Themalignant lie which emanated from the Tribune-News in regard to Major Calkins has been promptly met by scores of the best citizens of Evansville who heard his speech. Every man and woman who heard Maj r Calkins speak knows that the statement that lie was intoxicated is a vile and infamous falsehood. It was born ot the spleen and venom of a mean-spirited hound whose little soul contains nothing but poison. It was absolutely manufactured out of whole cloth, for campaign purposes, and it strikes the low water mark of degradation in politics. When ipen will resort to this infamy, to injure a political opponent, decency is thrown to the winds.. Unless the voters of Indiana have lost all sense of decency and self-respect, this infamous outrage will react with terrible force against its authors, aiders and abettors, trad give to our noble standard-bearer thousands of votes.
