THE FOLLOWERS OF JACKSON Third Banquet of the Leading Democratic Organization of Central Ohio. Ex-Senator McDonald Eulogizes Jackson, and Henry Watterson Kindly Furnishes a Few Points in the Science of Government. Cot.ttm bus, 0., Jan. B. —The Jackson Club, of Columbus, the leading Democratic organization of central Ohio, gave their third Banquet this evening. There were 300 guests, including a number of Ohio congressmen, members of the Legislature and State officials. The arrangements and service were complete. Hon. H. J. Booth, president of the clnb. was master of ceremonies, and Hon. T. E. Powell master of toasts. The following telegram was read: N. Y., Jan. 8, 1886. “To the CommitteWof the Jackson Club, Columbus, O.: —Cordially concurring with you in the honor which you propose to pay to the memory of the illustrious soldier-statesman, on the anniversary of the victory of New Orleans, I regret that I cannot be present at your banquet tonight. S. J. Tildes. ” Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, of Indiana, responded to the toast “Andrew Jackson,” and sp)ke in substance as follows: On the roll of distinguished men our country has furnished, few names appear more prominent than that of Andrew Jackson. Starting in life vnthout fortune, and self-edueated, his rise, even in our country, was phenomenal. He was neither to be a lawmaker nor an expounder of laws. He was to be a leader of men. When New Orleans, with its booty and beauty, was about to fail into the hands of the invader, he came to the rescue, placed it under martial law, thus displaying the dominant quality of his mind, which afterward made him so famous. In maintaining tho right he was ever ready to assume the responsibility necessary to that end. The campaign closed with the crowning victory of the Bth of January, and when the news of this great victory wa3 received, no bounds could be set to the popular enthusiasm. This achievement placed Jackson in the front rank of military heroes and gave to our country an anniversary that will never be forgotten. Events carried him forward to broader fields. His State returned him to the United States Senate. In 1824 be was the people’s choice for President, but failed to receive a majority in the House of Representatives, and was defeated. In 1828 the triumphant election of Jackson to the presidency proved the strength of that growing popularity which had attended him from the beginning of his career. The eight years that he was chief magistrate were certainly the most eventful of his life. No man has ever entered the presidential chair who encountered a more powerful and determined opposition, led by the ablest men of the times. Clay, Webster and, finally, Calhoun, formed a triumvirate whom it would have seemed impossible to resist, and yet Jackson, backed by his personal popularity, proved an overmatch for them, and closed his official life without a rival in the affections of the people. “Jackson, in his first message to Congress, expressed his opposition to re-chartering tho bank of the United States. The tariff question was one more difficult for Jackson to meet The so-called American system had strong attractions for him. No public man was ever more thoroughly American than Jackson. ‘Equal and exact justice to all men,' had always been his motto. The question which gave President Jackson the most anxiety, aud which canonnized him in the hearts of his countrymen for all time was the nullification question. The manner in which the government of the United States had been formed left many questions unsettled, especially as to the limit of the federal government and the extent of the reserved rights of the States. The two sovereignties, State and national, could not claim the right to exercise the same power, and where the sovereign powers of the States ended and the sasefcijen powers of the United States began, who could tell where that point was? And in a dispute between the United States and a State, was thero any constitutional power to decide, aad where did that power reside? On the 13th of April, 1830, the anniversary of Jefferson’s birthday, the friends of nullification eave a banquet at Washington. The lending spirits of the dangerous heresy were present Jackson was present and was called on for a volunteer toast, and promptly responded ‘Our Federal Union—it must be preserved.’ It fell upon that assembly like a voice from the sky, and from that time it was known that Jackson had taken his stand against nullification. In 1832 South Carolina threw the gauntlet to the federal government upon this momentous question. He took it up, and on the 10th of December, 1832. issued a proclamation to the people of his native State, appealing to their patriotism and love of country in a most tender and touching manner, aud closing by telling them that he would enforce the laws as long as they remained on the statute books, with all the power of government at his command, let the consequences be what they might. The proclamation made him second only to Washington in the point of popularity. In concluding, let me propose to this club as its motto, tbe grand sentiment of which he was the author: ‘Our federal Union—it must bo preserved.’ ” Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier Journal, responded to the “Democratic [Press,” and said, among other things: “Let me not confine myself to generalities. I came here with a carte blanche to speak out in meeting, and, bless God, I am going to do it. Bat I want to premise that I shall speak from the depths of a perfectly disinterested Democratic heart and mind, and from the stand-point of a man who would almost as leave be suspected of taking a bribe as of seeking an ctrice, which, with respect to the journalist, comes to vary nearly the same thing. If 1 shall, before I am done, say some things of the administration which, it seems to me, a friend ought to say, I must not be misunderstood. lam its personal supporter in all things persona), aud its pubho partisan also, as far as I can agree with it. For the President I have a very strong feeling of partiality and confidence. From him. and from every member of his government, I have received, the newspaper correspondents to the contrary, nothing but courtesy, and all the recognition aud consideration any Democrat could desire. But I reject the milk-soppery that, because our Democratic administration is the first we have had lu a quarter of a century, Democrats and the Democratic press must not freely and fairly discuss it. This was not the Democratic way in the days of Blair and Ritchie, of which the witty Mississippian observed that our wrangles were like cat tights, ‘only resulting in more cats.’ “I think the President has been seriously mis judged for his alleged tardiness in ‘turning the rascals out.' If ever an occupant of the executive mansion worked conscientiously over the appointments, he has done so. Instead of going too fast, he would have escaped some admitted mistakes if he had gone still slower. With the non office-seeking classes, which embraces so vast a majority of the people, his course m this particular is warmly approved, and constitutes his best hold upon tbe popular confidence. It baa strengthened him. and it has strengthened the party. Nor has he merely labored unceasingly. He has brought to his task a natural aptitude for administration, which, on his inception to the executive office, wanted only antecedent knowledge of the public men of the country to reach administrative genius of the first order. This has shown itself in all the business details of his official trust. No man has ever mastered them more completely than he has done. Asa reformer of abuses he has given tbe country signal proofs of his honesty and capacity, and with an unaffacted simplicity, truly Jeffersonian, and he will give still more as time passes. In a word, he has vindicated the Democratic claim of integrity and conservatism, which baffled the campaign falsehoods of the Republicans and won his election. “But here my sources of gratulation and encouragement end, and certain shadowy apprehensions begin* There is slowly but surely forming upon our political horizon a cloud, now no bigger than a man’s hand, which, if it be uot dissipated, will spread over the whole firmament This hodes no good to the future prosperity of the Uniou and the stability of its democratic institutions Already it is taking a sectional shape—this time not in the South, but in the East—and out from this cloud there issues a Toiee, crying, ‘Money is King.’ We have beard

that Allah was King, and Mahomet his prophet; that cotton was king, aqf slavery its prophet These shibboleths of fraudulent religions and false economies have passed away. Bat the new gospel of mammon, which has built its shrines in a single corner of the country from contributions adroitly drawn from all the other corners, but which has wisely sought to scatter and de--Bectionalize its oracles, has been for years, and is now, teaching the doctrine that there is no conservatism and no enlightenment outside of organized capital, and that every public policy that does not emanate from those centers of refinement and virtue, which emulate the bad manners of the English and cultivate the bad morals of the French, and practice the noble arts of avarice and luxury which are believed to have originated in Jerusalem, is an ignorant and agrarian scheme of the barbaric West and the revengeful South to limit the money-changers’ right of usance to the exact terms nominated in the bond, and to abridge, if possible, his purpose to take out a post-obit upon the national credit, to list this and to gamble on it, “I am afraid that the robust common sense and sound and elear judgment of the President have been misled by influences the most natural and preponderating; influences that have surrounded him from his birth; that possess the claim of local and neighborly association upon his favor, and that are able to assail his understanding by all the devices with which the organized and prescriptive few know so well how to maintain their titles and their patents against the rights of tbe unorganized and undisciplined many. That the President is a man of the people, and that every pulse of his heart beats to old-fashioned Democratic music, I truly believe. But he is not the first among the statesmen of the Atlantic seaboard who has yet to learn that there is a land on this side of the Alleghenies and the Blue Ridge. That he has not learned this I gather from his message to Congress, Upon the three great questions which the West and South are concerned in he is either silent, evasive, or opposed to us. I mean tho Mississippi river, the tariff, and the fiscal policy of the Treasury. I beg your permission to say a few words upon the two last of these great questions. “There has never been a pretense among any class of Democrats that the war tariff was to outlast the election of a Democratic President, just as there has never been a pretense of free trade among any class of Democratic revenue reformers. All of us were agreed that, if we got the power to originate concurrent policies of administration and legislation, our first use of it should be a measure of revenue revision which should reduce the taxes and reform the abuses of the tariff. I have no fault to find with anything the President says upon this subject in his message. It is what he fails to say that, considering the case from all its bearings, gives me more or less concern, and 1 cannot helD regretting thatjhe leaves it just where he found it, and has no views of his own. Because he, and all of us, will have to meet it, and, having to meet it, we cannot be--gin too early to consider it affirmatively. It will not down, believe me, at the bidding of the East. It will never again appear in shape so limp and lifeless as to enable my friend Converse and myself to make a platform which each of us could successfully construe to suit himself. The West and the South have interests and convictions, and, if we do not fix our lines of battle in advance of the conflict, and under the leadership of an administration, we shall be bound to support and defend, the ne?t time we get into national convention, we shall have a Kilkenny fight of it, sure enough. Then, sir, you shall see Illinois and Michigan, lowa and Wisconsin, and I hope Ohio, with their eighty-two electoral votes, put to shame and rout the time-serviug idea that we must sacrifice every Democratic tradition and promise to make sure of the fifty-one electoral votes of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Parties, like individuals, must take time by the forelock. They cannot be successfully managed at haphazard, or hope often to get into power by such scratches and chances as prevailed in the. last presidential contest, when it took Burchard and Conkling, greatly assisted on the day of election by an all-wise Providence, to pull us through by tho hair of the heaa! “And this brings me to silver. I think that, after the show of hands which was had last winter on his silver letter to the New York bankers, the President was unwise to throw the weight of his message so dead against the predilections of such a majority of his party in Congress. But he has done it, and to the extent that he is right we must stand by him, and to the extent that he may be mistaken we must try and extricate him. I think that, touching the unlimited coinage of silver, he is right. lam willing, for one, to stop it on any reasonable basis of security for the maintenance by the government in good faith of the double standard. At what precise point, when and where we shall stop it—which em bodies the question whon and where gold and silver shall part company, as part they must at Borne point—that is a speculative proposition about which economists will differ. I need not and shall not discuss it here. I wish to talk rather about the politics than the science of what has become an interesting and urgent issue in current affairs. “The wfak place in the President’s position, it seems to me, is his continuation in the Treasury department of the very policy which the Democratic party has for years condemned in Republican administrations —tbe refusal to obey the lawsof Congress in their letter and spirit, as they 6tand upon the statute book. Good or bad, they ought to be executed. Now, one of these laws provides a certain method of getting silver into circulation. Another provides for the representation of silver before the Bimetal. or Latin Union, as it is called. The first of these statutes has remained, substantially, a dead letter. The second has been always inadequately, and there is reason to believe sometimes treacherously, administered by the Treasury Department The failure of the President to reverse Republican precedents and methods in this regard has raised in the West and South a genuine scare and storm, bringing to the front all the passions and anxieties of an organic question in human experienci, that of debts and credits, including, of course, the national debt and our national banking system. As matters aland, the President’s suggestions will be overwhelmed in both houses of Congress, and this we otfght to avert if we can. In my judgment there is a way to a much-needed parley if not to common ground, and I will give it to you for what it is worth, precisely as I gave it to tho President himself a few weeks ago. “First—l would create a silver commission; I would appoint upon this three commissioners of national repution and standing, having the public confidence; men, for example, like yourself, sir, and my friend from Indiana, and an eminent Kentuckian, no longer residing in tbe State, but the one Secretary of the Treasury, during many years, who did his duty; I would invest this commission with all the prestige and paraphernalia of an embassy; I would send it abroad with the moral support of the government, not its secret hostility; and then I would ask Congress, in the interest of the double standard, to suspend the coinage of silver until these representatives of the government and the people could make their report. “And, second, I would rigidly and faithfully carry out the terras of the act of 1878—give the silver men the hot end of tbe poker, so to say—and determine how much wisdom or error there may bo in the remark of the senator from Kentucky when he said that, ‘if a cyclone should blow dowu the Treasury building, and scatter the surplus, and the people should pick up the money, and put it into circulation, that circulation would be more beneficial to tbe country than keeping the money locked up in the Treasury.’” Judge Allen G. Thurman spoke to “the Constitutton and the Democracy.” His remarks were quite brief, owing to the late hour when the speaking began. He said: “You have heard the toast, a light and trivial subject, to be sure: “Constitution and the Democracy.’ The first part I have in me somewhere down here. I think the toast was intended to make a little fun of the old man. When they wrote that toast I can imagine one said ‘what is it?’ another, perhaps, remarked, ‘I hoard something of that kind in the Archaeological Society of the State.’ An old Democrat was present, and said they had beeu poking about into the mounds to find nreadaraite relics, and the old man had been selected to respond to that toast, and maybe he would find that thing. Another, who bad more of the milk of kindness in him, said, ‘For God’s sake, don’t give the old man that!’ I have a great speech on this subject in me, but shall not deliver it on this occasion. lam here on ray own heather, and there are around me gentlemen who have accepted your invitation. They are men who deserve all the honor you and I can pay to them, and it is but common politeness on my part, as well as to my brother Jacksonians, to say that I would not take up the time that properly belongs to them. You have all heard me speak until you are tired [cries of

‘No! No!’], and may, and probably will, hear me again and again, fApplause.} Ido not see why you should non You are anxious to leara whether there are any good talkers in Indiana and Kentucky, and what old friend Durbin has to say about the ‘Dollar of the Daddies?’ The best thing I can do is to bid you good night, and I ask you too listen to them.” Governor Hoadly responded to the toast, “The State cf Ohio,” in a humorous speech, extemporaneous in character, in which no important question or issue was touched wpon. He paid a high compliment to Judge Thurman in tha coarse of his remarks, and pledged the Democratic party of Ohio to the support of Grover Cleveland. He expected to retire from public life next Monday, but nothing would keep him out of the Democracy of Ohio, except that be should be told that his room was better than his company. Toasts were also responded to by Hon. George L. Converse. Joseph H. Outhwaite, John T. Follett and Geu. Durbin Ward. Hill Indorses Cleveland’s Democracy. New Yokk. Jan. B.—A banquet was tendered to Governor Hill to-night, at Delmonico’s, by the Business Men's Democratic Society Club. Governor Hill, in replying to the toast, “The guest of the evening,” enunciated the principles of his administration as he enunciated them in his message to the Legislature, and then said: ‘ ‘Those who expect me to antagonize the national administration will be disappointed. Tbe administration needs no defense at my hands. Os President Cleveland’s honesty, courage and true Democracy there can be no question. I had the honor of being associated with him in the State government for two years, and our relations were, and have ever since been of the most pleasant and cordial character. I respect his sincerity of purpose, his sterling integrity, and party fealty.” Tho Governor then proceeded to enumerate several thines which the new Democratic administration had not done, which, it was said, would be done. Among them, it had not returned the negroes to slavery nor assumed the confederate debt, and it had not levied political assessments.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The Silver Question. To tbe Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The people of Arkansas take a lively interest in all measures looking towards opening up the Indian Territory to white settlers, after allotting to the Indians residing there a suitable quantity of lands in severalty, and abolishing the tribal ownership of vast bodies of excellent farming lands for hunting grounds, especially when it is known that all game has disappeared from the lands. It is kuown that the Indians oppose generally, any innovation on the existing ownership of their lands, the common, but they will submit to tbe inevitable, when they see the United States Make hold of the matter in earnest. I had a conversation some time ago with an intelligent and educated Indian, a Cherokee, thoroughly alive to what he considers the rights and interest of his nation, and proud of his race and its history. He resides in the Territory, and had brought his wife to the springs for treatment. She being a white woman was subject to the ills which happen to others of her sex, aud, like a kind husband, he sought relief for her in the healing waters so well known to his ancestors before the pale face ever penetrated this region. I broached to him the subject of dividing the tribe’s lands in severalty to the members, stating that our philanthropists ' were of the opinion that such a measure would result in the civilization of his race, which could not be affected while the tribal ownership was maintained. He gave me to distinctly understand that his tribe did uot appreciate any such philanthropy. The people of this city are now somewhat excited about the mines which are but a few miles distant, and many tons of the dirt are being shipped away for analysis. The existence of these mines is not a recent discovery, but parties from abroad have lately become interested, and are working them with more vigor. It is not improbable that in the near future the mines of precious metal will attract more attention tban the miiftral spriues. And this brings me to the discussion of the allabsorbing subject of suspending silver coinage. The division of public sentiment on tho question appears to be largely geographical, the East favoring, while the West and South oppose suspension. The reason for this territorial division will be obvious when it is considered that the East embraces mainly the creditor class, while the West and ’South are debtors, owing large money obligations to the East, which they have borrowed to build their railroads, manufactories and to improve their farms. The creditors having lent out their cheap money, naturally want payment in a dearer currency than that which they lent If, therefore, Congress can be induced to suspend silver coinage it would be a step toward making gold the exclusive standard of value. It would seem that the selfishness of the creditor was the origin of the agitation of the question.

There are people who oppose suspending coinage, but who say the weight of the dollar must be increased until it is the equal of a dollar in gold. According to this theory there might be a constant change in the size of tbe dollar to keep pace with the fluctuations of the market or the whims of the monometalists. The silver dollar now coined is just what it was when it commanded a premium over gold, and to change it would bo absurd. Capitalists, if they desire to do so. can, at any time, combine and depreciate gold as they have silver. The United States accepts silver in payment of duties on imports, but will not pay out a dollar on the interest or principal of the public debt, though positively required by law to do so. For tifteeu years every Secretary of the Treasury has refused to pay out silver, though by the express language of tho bonds it was so payable. Is it any wonder that silver accumulates in the vaults of the Treasury? It is plain that while this state of affairs exists the government stands in the attitude of discrediting its own circulating medium, hearing the impress of its own eagle. There is not gold enough to pay debts, public and private, and to insist upon it will drive individuals, corporations and States to repudiation. We must cave the bimetalic currency, including freenbacks and national bank circulation, or ebts will never be paid. If the United States will set the example and execute a plain law by paying out coin, private debtors will fall in line' and an era of prosperity will begin. M. L. Bundy.

The W. C. T. U. at Brazil. To the Editor of tho Indianaoolis Journal: We, the members of the Brazil W. C. T. TJ., now in "Session, most heartily indorse the labors of Maj. Geo. A. Hilton, feeling that he fully sustained the high order of recommendations that preceded his coming to our place as a temperance evangelist. During his stay of twelve days of untiring, earnest efforts he aroused an interest in our work that will not die. He caused a transformation of public sentiment, and our union has received such spiritual strength that its members feel encouraged to fight any and every obstacle. Although he came to us au entire stranger, ho has gone beloved and followed by the well wishes and prayers of those who have been so much benefited by his counsels. From an enrolling membership of thirty our union has been increased to eighty-four. Now, sustained, as wo are, by a large white ribbon league which was organized by Maj. Hilton, we rejoice that in God’s providence he was sent among us, and consider the remuneration he received a small part of our indebtedness. We also fully appreciate the liberality of our citizens generally, who kindly contributed to the success of our meetings. Helen Shkrfey, Clara Jknne, Orpha James, Brazil, Jan. 5, 1886. Committee.

THE TRIAL OF SMITH AND HILL. Both Cases Taken Under Advisemeut—Sim Cot’s Conspicuous Absence from Court. The trial, yesterday., of George W. Hill, inspector of election at the First precinct, Eighteenth ward, for conspiring with Charles Smith to destroy and attempting to destroy ballots, developed no points of extraordinary interest A rehearsal of the evidence in the Smith case was about all that was offered. This traced certain ballots to Smith’s possession, but the prosecution offered no testimony to identify them as having been voted at. the First precinct, Eighteenth ward polls. Nor were any witnesses called to prove a felonious intent, either on the part of Smith or Hill, or to establish the charge of conspiracy. Both cases were submitted to sourt without argument, and Judge Norton reserved his decision until some time in the near future. “If they push Smith to the wall,” said one who knows him well, “he will tell all bo knows. That information will not be comfortable for certain individuals who have not been mentioned as having anything to do with the affair.” “It is singular,” remarked a listener, “that Sim Coy has not been seen in the court-room during the trial Sim heretofore has been very active in assisting to straighten election crookedness when it got into the court, but he has given this case no attention.’’ “Sim was in the room when these ballots were counted. He did not leave until the last ono was on the string. He ought to have been called as a witness.” said another, who joined in to make the conversation more interesting. “It is a mistake about Coy not being in the court room. I saw him there yesterday morning. Ont of breath from fast walking, he slipped into a corner down near the clerk’s desk, and ran against Tom Cottrell. ‘Say.’ asked Sim, excitedly, ‘who m the had me subpoenaed as a witness this morning?’ ‘I aid,’ replied Cottrell. ‘The devil you did. Well, that is "a nice piece of business. You tell Jim Cropsey l am sick: I don’t want to go on the stand; I am sick, I tell yon,’ and ont skipped Mr. Coy. He was in the room about five minutes.” Coy has not been seen by many on the streets or at his usual lounging places daring the progress of these trials. About 9 o’clock, night before last, he was caught for a few minutes in public. He complained of a serious illness. “I have just got up. I have been in bed all day. I am going back there shortly, just as soon as I settle a case for one of my constituents.”

AMUSEMENTS. English’s opera house—-“nanon.” The hostile elements, last night, almost a blizzard in character, did not prevent one of 4he finest audiences of the season from gathering to witness the performance at English’s. The house was full from stage to entrance, and it is safe to say that not one among them all but went away delighted with the sprightly comic opera “Nanon,” so artistically rendered by the Carleton Opera Company. The appreciation was manifested by frequent and hearty applause. Mr. Carleton, as tbe Marquis d’Anbigne, was encored several times, his rich baritone voice being ia fine condition. Tho Nanon of Miss Louise E. Paullin was beautifully and artistically presented. She has a sweet voice and most charming manners. Miss Vincent was also received with favor, as were Messrs. Drew, Leumane and Greensfelder. The costuming was in fine taste, aud tho chorus singing, as well as the duets and quartets, was all that could be desired. Tho opera is lively in action, artistic in details, and very pleasing altogether. It will be repeated at the matinee this afternoon, when, in deference to the request of Manager English, the prices will be reduced, the best seat being had for but 75 cents The engagemaut will close with “The Mikado” to-night. NOTES. Nan-ana kiss is very near an infringement of that owned and operated by Emma Abbott. “Nip and Tuck” will be played at the Museum this afternoon and evening. Next week Boucicault’s drama “After Dark” will be the attraction. 4 The Rentz-Santley burlesquers terminate a successful engagement at the Zoo Theater tonight They give a matinee this afternoon. All next week the Great Western Specialty Company will be the attraction. Evans & Hoey (“Me and Old Hoss”) will present their very entertaining farce comedy, “A Parior Match,” by Charles H. Hoyt, at |tbe Grand the first part of next week. It has been enjoyed here before, and this season has much new business and music in it, while the company has teen materially strengthened. It was in very questionable taste for Mr. Carleton to appear before the curtain between the acts, last night, to announce to night's performance, and to broadly criticise other “Mikado” companies while lauding his own organisation. It will doubtless be presented in fine form, but tbe occasion to say so was ill chosen. “Alone in London,” Mr. Robert Buchanan’s fine scenic drama, was repeated at the Grand, last night, and will be seen again this afternoon and to-night It is the most impressive English melodrama that has been seen here, and decidedly the best acted. Miss Tanner, Mr. Archer, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Reynolds and Miss Archer, who is especially clever in the character of Poor Joe, assume the leading parts. The sluice-house scene is almost painfully realistic, and is made a great scene.

THE CITY IN BRIEF. Tho Lima Manufacturing Company, of Lagrange county, was incorporated yesterday. The capital stock is $5,000. Resolutions of respect and condolence were passed by the County Commissicners in reference to the late Alex Jameson, once a member of the board. There will be a gospel meeting at the Woraeu’s Christian Temperance Union parlors, No. 76 North Pennsylvania street, at 3:45 p. M. on Sunday. Mrs. M. E. Conkiin will bo in charge. Marriage licenses were issued, yesterday, to Wm. H. Meek and Hattie U. Hungerford. Allen Bracher and Clara Sharfcling, Jesse J. McConnell and Marietta Horton, John O’Leary and Mary Carson, Charles Williams and Ella Goodal, John S. Eriuger and Helen Richardson. Eb Henderson’s Expectations. Eb Henderson, chairman of the Democratic State central committee, returned from Washington, where he has been lingering in the shades of anxiety, waiting for the announcement of his appointment, to attend the meeting yesterday afternoon. When asked about his prospects, ho said to a Journal reporter: “There will be an appointment of a Third Assistant-Postmaster-general within a few days. I think T will get the place. The matter rests wholly with the Postmaster general.” “Do you really want the position of Third Assistant Postmaster general, or is it true that you would prefer the governorship of one of the Territories?” “I prefer the position of Third Assistant Post-master-general, and it is the office that I have applied for. The report that i wanted any other position is a mistake.” Mr Henderson says that Hughes East will certainly be appointed to a good position soon. Buried Without Official Permission, The authority of the coroner and the purposes of Undertaker Herman yesterday came in conflict Mrs. Fredericka Zink, twenty eight years of age, died at No. 1 Paca street, and the attending physician, Mrs. E. Schmidt, gave the cause of death as peritonitis, and the duration of the disease as six days. From informa tion received from other sources the coroner decided to investigate the matter, and requested the health office not to issue a burial permit, at which the undertaker became angry and said he would bury the body without that authority. The coroner found that it was not necessaay to

hold a post-mortem, as the evidence he wanted in the case was procurable without that operation. Mra Zink was to have been married the day she died. A Celebrated Indian Diplomats. Col. E. H. Allison, the well-known scout and Indian diolomate, is in the city. He is the seout who five years ago visited the camp of Sitting Bull aud negotiated the surrender of that chief aud his band of hostile Sioux. He is familiar with all the facts relating to the battle of the Little Big Horn, and has had unsurpassed opportunities to learn the true inwardness of the Indian question. He is thinking of delivering a lecture on these subjects in this city. He has been eighteen years in the Indian country, and speaks the Sioux and other Indian languages fluently. * Mr. Schnrmann’s “Speedy Animal.” The News says that “the horsemen are consoling themselves with the belief that inasmuch as Commissioner Schnrmann owns a speedy animal, that the police will not look after the fast trotters on the Nicholson quite so freely in the future.” Mr. Schurraann says that the “speedy animal” which he drives is twenty years old, is lame in one front and one hind foot, and couldn’t trot a miie in fifteen minutes. Besides, he didn’t own the horse. The horsemen, it seems from the evidapce presented, are consoling themselves without cause. Indorsing Hampton's Bill. The executive committee of the Indiana Civilservice Association, at a recent meeting, passed a resolution indorsing the bill introduced in the United States Senate by Senator Hampton, “making it a misdemeanor for any senator or representative tp recommend or solicit, directly or indirectly, the appointment of any person to an office under the government of the United States.” The resolutions adopted also urge Indiana senators and representatives to do everything in their power to secure its speedy enactment.

The Third Christian Church’s Affairs, The report of the officers at the annual business meeting of the Third Christian Church show that the expenses during the year amounted to $2,200, and the receipts were $2,140. More than the amount of the deficiency was at once subscribed. There was an increase of twenty during the year in membership, which now numbers 298.
