TALK ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN. The Liquor League Ready to Fight High License Throughout the State. The Conrse the Organization Will Porsue in in the Next Campaign —lngratitude of Democratic Office-Holders —Notes. The Liquor League, which has now adopted the came of “The Trade Protective Association,” seems to bo greatly alarmed over the growth of the high-license sentiment in Indians, and already is preparing to meet the question as an issue in the approaching campaign. A secret circular, published in both English and German, has just been sent out to liquordealers throughout the State, calling upon them to unite for the purpose of opposing the question in any political phase it nay assume. Although this circular has been sent to all persons outside of Indianapolis who are supposed to be directly interested in opposing high license, as a precaution against information about the movement reaching the public it waa decided that the matter should be communicated to the local saloon-keepers personally. The circular says: “The problem of high license calls for the prompt and serious consideration of liquor dealers throughout the State. Without doubt a very formidable effort is on foot to make it a leading issue in the approaching political campaign. We therefore most earnestly recommend that a conference of the enemies of this movement throughout the State be held at an early day at Mozart Hall, in this city, to carefully consider the situation, and decide upon the proper course to pursue, and if deemed expedient, to effect a proper organization; and we would respectfully suggest Monday, the 6th day of May next, as a convenient time for such conference. You cannot but recognize the powerful and thoroughly organized element which is arrayed against us, and will therefore realize the absolute necessity for immediate action on our part to avert the threatening danger. We respectfully Bug gest, therefore, that the liquor dealers in your place select one or more of their number to represent them at this proposed conference, and request that we may be notified by mail to the address of P. H. McNelis, No. 143 West Washington street, in this city, as to what we may expect from your place at this conference. Representatives are requested, on arrival, to report to John Huegele, chairman of our executive board, at No. 60 East Washington street. Please give this your immediate and careful attention, and let me hear from you, as requested, by early mail.” The circular is signed by Frank A. Mans, president of the Trade Protective Association; John Huegele, chairman of the executive committee, and Albert Lieber, secretary. The suggestions contained in the circular are indorsed by the signatures of C. F. Schmidt, P. Lieber & Cos., and Frank A. Maus, brewers: Kepper & Watterman, and Mullaney & Hayes, wholesale liquor dealers. In an interview with P. H. McNelis, yesterday afternoon regarding the conferance proposed in this circular, a Journal reporter inquired, “What does your organization intend to do?” “it is for the purpose of determining upon some course of action,” Mr. McNelis replied, “that this conference has been called. We want to discuss the situation, and arrive at some conclusion as to what it will be to our interest to do. If the Democratic party, at its coming State convention, declares itself in favor of high license, and the Republican party does not, or vice versa, we will understand wbat we must do. If both parties indorse high license it will be useless for us to attempt to do anything, and we will, therefore, take no part in the campaign.” * ‘Bat, ns your conference will be held before either of tne State conventions, how will you be able to arrive at any definite conclusion regarding the course it will be to your interest to pursue?” “It has been demonstrated that a great deal can be accomplished by organization in dealing with political parties, and, you understand, we may be able to accomplish much by the work we can do before the conventions are held.” DESPISES DEMOCRATIC INGRATITUDE. The conversation afterwards turned to the subject of campaign work and prospective candi dates for office. “I despise ingratitude,” remarked Mr. McNelis, “more than anything else. When we are used as the main support of a party in conducting its campaign, as we have been, we have some reason to expeot consideration from the men who obtained their offices by means of the money we furnished for securing their election. The defeat of the Republican party in 1882 was due almost entirely to the work and the assistance furnished by the men in our business. A strong fight was made for the Legislature and we got it. We had no fearß about the House, but we wanted the Senate also, and it looked as if it was almost impossible to get it. In one county we sacrificed three members of the Legislature to get one Senator. Mclntosh, from Daviess and Greene, was elected by the use of our money and the miners we sent into his district from Clay and elsewhere to work and vote for him. Duncan, of Brown, Monroe and Bartholomew, was elected over Chaffee—it is unnecessary to say how, but by our efforts. Magee’s election was practically in our haods, because we could have defeated him without much effort if we had desired to. When the question of whether or not the journal of the preceding session was a part of the constitutional amendments came up, McIntosh and Duncan, as well as Magee, notwithstanding their obligations to us, voted with the minority. I understand Mclntosh is a candidate for re-eleotion, bat his record will probably prevent the realization of bis hopes. In the last campaign we were not drawn upon so heavily, but the men who hold the State offices are indebted to us for a great deal of substantial support. Now they turn their backs to us and treat us with the rankest ingratitude. They are allowing the men we helped them to defeat to control them. They are the cause of all this trouble. They may say it is Murphy and Lang, but we have good reason to believe that they are responsible; in fact-, we know that they are. You may set it down as Bottled chat any one of the present State officers will never get our support for anything, and that we will do our best to defeat them if they are ever candidates again.” AN ENCOURAGING CANVASS. The canvass of the Republican aspirants for nomination at the approaching county convention is characterized by a better spirit than has been known in any previous contest for several years. Although the canvass is being conducted with unusual activity, and a vigorous fight is being made, nothing of an unpleasant nature has developed in the contest, and no complaint is made of ony of the rivals attempting to take unfair advantages of each other. It is one of the cleanest and most satisfactory contests in the political history of the county, and is regarded by members of the party as an encouraging indication of a strong campaign. NOTES AND GOSSIP. Otto Stecbhan is out as a candidate for a place on the Republican legislative ticket. Judge Taylor is a candidate for renomination for Superior judge on the Democratic ticket. It is rumored that John E. Sullivan will withdraw from the race for the Democratic nomination for county clerk. Jim Renihan having failed to get an office under Cleveland, will try to get the Democrats to name him for recorder. The friends of Joyce say he will get the delegation from the Twenty-first ward, despite the fight that is being made against him there. The clerk’s office in this county was formerly worth to the incumbent $25,000 or $30,000 a year. Now, owing to the decrease in litigation, it is thought not to be worth more than SIO,OOO. John A. Lang is actively at work in the canvass for the Democratic nomination for county clerk. His friends are saying of him what Gen. Bragg said of Cleveland: “We love him most for the enemies he has made.” John Koeniger, the Republican committeeman In the first precinct cf the Twenty-fourth ward, has removed to the Twenty-third ward.

Republican candidate for prosecuting attorney, were present and addressed the meeting.

Maynard, John Schley, J. W. Schmidt, Dr. McDonald, of New Augusta, Daniel Foley, Ed F. Hart, Morris Donley, Captain McHugh, M. J. Farrell, Captain Kelly, James J. Walsh, R. O. Johnson and W. F. A. Bernbamer. A STRANGE STORY. A Deserted Mother Pound by her Daughter, After Many Years, in the Insane Asylum. A strange story was brought to light in connection with a guardian’s report, filed in the Circuit Court yesterday. Many years ago, Mrs. Minnie Worth, of this city, inherited $2,250 from her father. Her husband, desiring to go South, put the money in the hands of John B. Stumpb, as trustee, for the wife, and left her. She became insane, was separated from her children and was placed in the county poor asylum. The husband went to Kentucky and married again, without having secured a divorce, and went to live in Arkansas, where he has since remained. In the meantime a daughter of the two grew up, was married tc a Mr. Davis, and is now living at No. 33 Valley street, in this city. She did not know where her mother was, and was making constant efforts to find her. Mrs. Worth was takon from the poor-house by Dr. Moses Allen, then county commissioner, and became for a time a house servant in his family. She disappeared mysteriously one day, and he was unable afterward to find her. She fell into the hands of the police, was taken to the stationhouse, an insanity inquest was held on her, and she was sent to the Insane Hospital under the name of Mary Kinney. The daughter, Mrs. Davi9, unable to find her mother, advertised a description of her in the daily papers, and offered a reward for information as to her whereabouts. Finally, last fall the adver tisement was answered by a Mrs. Norwood, of Lafayette, who said one of her lady friends had seen such a wooman in the Insane Hospital. Mrs. Davis visited the hospital two or three times in January last, and was at last rejoiced to find her mother, who, from a robust and strong woman, hAd now become weak and emaciated She took her to her home. In 1881 Major James R. Ross was appointed guardian of Mrs. Worth, and has since bad charge of her money, which was turned over to him by Mr. Stumph. It is said that he never saw his ward during the term of his guardianship. Yesterday, in obedience to the order of Judge Ayres, he made a report of the funds, charging himself with 4 per cent, interest on them, and asking SIOO for his services. Mrs. Worth, through her attorneys, took exceptions to parts of the report, and the case is now being considered by Judge Avres. The Mystery of a Shot. Several persons on Ohio street, near the Denison Hotel, heard a pistol shot, aud at the same instant saw a man fall to the sidewalk yesterday morning. He was recognized by two persons as an East Washington street merchant, and was accompanied by his wife, who Ifras weeping at the time of the occurrence. He got up at once and the two walked Away, declining any help from several persons who ran to him on seeing him fall. Both declined to say anything about the matter. The man bad evidently not been much hurt by the shot, as he was able to get around last evening. The affair has excited a good deal of ourious comment, and is altogether a very mysterious event Compromise with a Thief. Yesterday afternoon a stranger went into Fred Lichtuauer’u saloon, on Washington street, west of the river, just as Lichtnauer bad stepped out, and took $45 from the drawer. Mrs. Lichtnauer saw the theft and at once told her husband, who gave pursuit and captured the thief. The patrol wagon was summoned, but before it arrived the man told Lichtnauer he would give the money back if he would release him, to which Lichtnauer agreed. The money was handed over and the thief allowed to go. Vordict Against a Hotel Proprietor. Fred M. Jenkins, whose watch, chain and money, to the amount of $45, were stolen from him recently, while stopping at the Spencer House, secured judgment, yesterday, iu the Circuit Court, against John Faehr, proprietor of the hotel, for S2OO. Jenkins, while in the room, heard someone come and go out, but did not look to see who it was. Shortly afterward he discovered that his property was gone. The door was unlooked at the time. Injured by a Falling Roof. The roof of the building at No. 65 North Illinois street, which had been raised for repairs, fell yesterday afternoon, while Lum Steele was working under it, and, besides other slight injuries, dislocated his ankle. Ritzlnger Assets To Be Sold. On petition of Assignee Yandes, Judge Ayres yesterday ordered him to sell of the assets of the Ritzingers lots 30, 34 and f#>, in McKernan & Pierce’s subdivision of outlot 121, at public auction on fifteen days’ notice.
