Why the Reception to President Cleveland Was Such a Ueartless Affair. What the Sentinel and Other Democrats Keallj Think of Cleveland A Kilkenny Cat-Fight in the Grand Old Party. THEIR REAL SENTIMENTS. What the Sentinel and Other Leading Democratic Authorities Think of Cleveland. Noon questions the almost painful lack of heartiness in the reception of President Cleveland on Saturday. So far as Republicans were 'malra mnh rwitA ni m. hmnndrome. tbe 111eoncealed purpose of which was to boom a man as a pun lie cBoaiusie lur n - - bad been announced by Speaker Carlisle that the President's trip meant "conquest," and the local Democratio managers bad managed to throw around the visit as much of a partisan flavor as was possible. The Republicans received the President respectfully, and with more consideration for a real, non-partisan welcome to the chief magistrate than was shown by Democrats. But the Democrats themselves had no heart In it Coming from Pennsylvania and the East into the atmosphere of Indiana. Mr. Cleveland must have been convinced that there was much truth in all that had been said by Scott Ray and his kind, about the feeline of Indiana Democrats toward him and his administration. Ibdiana Democrats do not like Mr. Cleveland, and they could not prevent letting him know it on Saturday by the cold and chilling greeting they gave him on his first visit to the capital of their State. Whatever there was of apparent enthusiasm was perfunctory, workedup, put on tor the occaeion. The Sentinel of Saturday, in the course of its leading editoritl, said: "Indianapolis to-day says welcome to Grover Cleveland, President of the United States of America, and she speaks the glad word with her heart in ber mouth. To the people of Indiana the name of Grover Cleveland sounds, we apprehend, a little more musical than to the citizens of other States, because it is, and forever is to be, associated with the name of Indiana's favorite eon, Thomas A. Hendricks. Here the name of the President snepests at once the name of the Vice-president, who was elected VU l !i V POUiO llVttu out. ' - . - tnanship. nobility of character, public services and private virtues won for' him nnperishable renown. " "Indiana and the capital city of Indiana, welcome the President with an enthusiasm born of respect for the bigh office which he fills, as also for the unswerving integrity that has marked his official acts." , What the Indianapolis Sentinel really thinks of Mr. Cleveland is expressed In the followine editorial, published just after the late congressional elections. The Sentinel was then owned and controlled by the same management as now: "We have no hesitancy in laying at Mr. Cleveland's door the responsibility for the misfortune which has overtaken the party in the losses of Congressmen it sustained last Tuesday. We may look upon the result as a rebuke. The unAmerican policy he has pursued in dealing with the party and the partisans that elected him to' office is the direct cause of the apathy of the party in so many sections of the country. He has done all lie could to destroy the party organization. He baa chilled the honorable ambition of young men, and grievously abused the old leaders. And in doing these things he has incurred, not only their dissatisfaction, but the contempt of all manly Republicans. The defeat of Carlisle and Morrison, the heaviest Wow the party has ever received in late years, is directly attributable to the faithlessness of Mr. Cleveland to his party obligations. These men are the greatest of the party's leaders. They are to Mr. Cleveland as suns to a mh-liht; yet they, perforce, must fall because Mr. Cleveland has, on the one band, failed to support them in their leeislative policies, and on the other hand, has neglected to keep his party in that enthusiastic condition which characterized it when he assumed the presidential office. "Mr. Cleveland must cither prove himself & Democrat in the remaining years of bis administration or prepare to meet emphatie repudiation by his party. He has not yet shown himself worthy the suffrage of those who elected him. Thus far he has directed his forces against the party. Yet we have heard reports that he aspires to re-election. We do not think be caies to do so now, unless he possesses an assurance even more colossal than he has yet manifested, something we can scarcely admit to be possible." , One or two other expressions of opinion are given, which show the real sentiment entertained by Democrats of Indiana toward Mr. Cleveland, and which amply explain the dismalcess of Saturday's proceedings: from Scott Kay's Pier. "Te:i the Trnth," Read at the Convention of Democratic Editors: "No President since our constellation .of States first sang together has been more unfortunate in calling to his aid those whose judgment he invokes to guide his administration, and for whose mistakes tie is held responsible. To say that they are mostly weak, unknown, impractical men, and unsatisfactory to the Democracy of the country, is to tnli the truth, and to add that statesmen of the McDonald. Thurxnan, Abbott, Doolittle, Palmer and Morgan school would have given confidence in the administration, is to state a recognized trnth wherever the English language is known or poken. "Thomas F. Bayard, Secretary of State, whose xnugwnmpery at home and bad diplomacy abroad have made parties a derision, treaties a burlesque, and the American government the laughing stock of the world, is worthy of mention. His antics on the fishing question, and his discovery of so many antediluvian fossils to represent us abroad, have actually led some to believe the United States, after all, is only a museum, where the weird relic and curiosity hunter can revel forever in delight. "Postmaster-general Vilas, with his trained army of Republican insolvents and spies, discarded his Democracy when leaving the beautiful lakes of Wisconsin to take up his residence in Washington on the banks of the murky Potomac "Father Endicott, I believe that is his name, may be a good old soul as Secretary of War, but be lacks ability, judgment, training, and strong, vigorous, wholesome, Democratic thoucht and action. "Attorney-General Garland's abilities and brilliancy no man ever doubted, but they are so tattooed by the Pan-electric scandal that the merits of the man have 'long since paled and ceased to be objects of admiration. "I only tell the truth when I say that this strange policy of the President meets with little enthusiam and approval by the Democrats of Indiana. The rank and file of the party in this great and important Democratio State have shown their devotion when others, discouraged, fled the field, but many now shake their beads and weep within, when they are asked to crown the administration with their seal of unqualified approbation." Bcott Kay, at the Convention of Pemocratic Editors: "That with Mr. Cleveland as the party's choice a labor candidate will be sure to follow, that with a labor candidate in the field Democrats cannot hope to carry New York without whose electoral vote the party cannot succeed. "That the party will not be forced toconfine its search for a candidate within the narrow circle of one man's influence, but will cast about the whole country for statesmanship and availability, and select a candidate who wiil nnite all discordant elements and who will have no weightsto retard his progress when the battle is on. "That with Mr. Cleveland, Indiana would be lost, that it is doubtful whether he can carry Virginia. West Virginia and North Carolina, that be has alienated the Democratio members e.f tne Grand Army of the Republic." IIS APPOINTED AND DISSATISFIED. The President's Visit Causes Some TJupieasnen Among- Local Democrats. Publicly, leading Democrats are having little to say as to what they think about the President's reception, but they have been doing a great deal of talking among themselves. Their disappointment over the failure of the Demo-' arats of the State to turn out and give him a grand ovation, cannot be suppressed. They looked upon the visit solely from a political point bl view, and expected to see a Democratic boom brought about by the Democrats from all parts of the State flocking to the capital, and offering homage to the chief magistrate and Democratio candidate for rs election. The visit, they hoped, would not only redound to the interest of national polities, but would prove beneficial Vi the party, throughout the State and locally.

Whether the President bad any such motive In view or not, the leaders of the local Democracy did, and hence this great disappointment at the dismal failure of tbe-dapaonstration. The frank members of the party admit that so far as any enthusiasm was concerned the affair was a disappointment, to say the least. Several Democrats were discussing the coldness of the crowd at the Bates House last night, when one of tbem explained it in this way: "Indiana crowds are always undemonstrative. They are the coolestbeaded people in the world. There is no other State in tne Union that will not extend a warmer recention to the President than Indiana, and yet I believe the Indiana people pave as much reeard for him as those of any other State. Little things like the visit of a President . don't excite thtfm in the least. They always entertain well, but unless there is some great event connected with a visit to enthuse them they keep cool and quiet." Persons who have seen many vast crowds of people in Indianapolis say the one Saturday was impelled by more curiosity than any other they ever saw. The man seemed to inspire no enthnsiasra. The people had a curiosity to see the President, and when they had . seen him they were ready to go home. They beean leaving the city bv the early afternoon trains, an hour before the presidential train pulled out. fully satisfied with being able to report at home that they bad seen the President. Around tne political centers yesterday and last night the numerous little rows the visit kicked up in local Democratic circles were discussed quite freely. Many Democrats were not backward in expressing their views about a good many little incidents that they did not like. The leaders of the local Democracy seemed to labor under the impression that the visit was a political one, and there was a great deal of jealousy exhibited in attempting to have a hand in the affair. The Hendricks Club expected to make itself the all-coD6picuous body of the day, and because it was stepped upon several times, many of the members feel that they have been insulted. As the club was to be the escort of the, President, it expected some recognition from him upon the arrival of the train, but they didn't get it. While the hollow square was being formed around the presidential carriage, Mr. Cleveland seemed to look upon the men as mere body guards, ana made no movement toward recognizing their courtesy. The members claim that they were not given enoueh attention at the State-house, either, and feel badly hurt because the club was nof formally introduced to the President. Some of the leading members are criticising Mr. John P. Frenzel, the chairman of the executive committee, whom they charge witb having been the moving spirit in all the snubbing thev received. They say they didn't want him for chairman of the committee in tne first place, and that he forced himself into the position. They allege that on all occasions during the reception he put barriers in the way of the club, and used his position to further his own ambition to be the conspicuous figure of the occasion. They areue that some member of the Hendricks Club should have been awarded the honor of accompanying the President to Mrs. Hendrioks's residence. Mrs. Hendricks also has a grievance. She feels that she was not properly treated by the executive committee, who, upon finding that 6he had made a little programme of her own, and lunched the presidential party, hurried the President from ber home. She is esocially offended at United States Marshal Hawkins wbo, she is credited with saying, insisted npon the President leaving her home against his own wishes. There are numerous little rows coming to the surface that will afford the public much gossip, and go to show that the local Democrats in attempting to give the visit a political significance did a very bad thing for the party. OUTSIDE OPINIONS. Impressions Gained of the Failure by Representatives of Foreign Newspapers. Special to New York Tribnne. Sept. 30. One cannot but notice an apathy, amounting to a hostile feeling almost, running counter to these outward and mere surface demonstrations of enthusiasm. The people go as far even as to assert that if the President knew as much now as he will after his visit, he would have decided to give Indianapolis a wide berth. Instead of harmonizing his party, they say, his visit will ouly result in opening old sores and creating new jealousies. The party leaders in the State, it is well known, did not want the President to come here, and they only concluded to take a hand in the reception ceremonies after they found out that the Republicans were preparing to give him a welcome on their own account. The latter had too much respeet for the office Mr. Cleveland represents and the good name of the city to allow the visit to become a lamentable and ridiculous failure. The success of to-morrow's festivities, if success it be, will be entirely due to their efforts. The position occupied by the widow of the late Vice-president is still being discussed with more or less intelligence by outsiders and those whom she counts among her intimates. She bases her refusal to decorate her house upon the ground that the visit of the President and Mrs. Cleveland will revive many painful memories of the past which she would prefer to let slumber, and so far no one will find aught to criticise in the conduct of Mr. Hendricks's widow; but still it is surmised that there are other and weightier reasons which prompt Mrs. Hendricks to act thus. She cannot have forgotten, for instance, the slight which the President put upon her on the occasion of her visit to Washington after her husband's death. She must remember that neither her husband nor her husband's friends were ever1 the friends of Mr. Cleveland or his advisers. She cannot help look ins: unon the visit of the President as an opportunity seized in a clumsy manner to set things right with as little trouble to the President and without too much regard to her own feelings. She must certainly recognize the fact that one of the principal spirits in this whole comedy is ex-Senator McDonald, her husband's old enemy, to whom she has never become reconciled herself and who is now only acting in the role of peace-maker to serve his own political needs. Those and similar motives, it is said, may underlie Mrs. Hendricks's refusal to decorate ber house, though she may receive the President and his wife to-morrow as if nothing had ever hsppened to mar the harmony which might have been expected to exist between the head and the tail of the ticket of 1834. THE FAILURE AS IT WAS. Bpecial to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. After the Indianapolis Republicans, from 4notives of pride in their city, took in hand the reception to President and Mrs. Cleveland, things went very well. Between incapacity, local dissensions and dissatisfaction with the administration, the Democracy were in a fair way to make a big fizzle of the whole affair. Two-thirds of the Democrats were against inviting Cleveland here at all. There are a hundred sore-heads and mossback Democrats to one of the Cleveland stripe, and when the first meeting was called to decide the matter of receiving and entertaining the President, there was one, single, solitary, and otherwise unaccompanied Democrat present The enthusiasm over Mr. Cleveland to-day was about upon that plane. The proverbially curious American people were anxious to Bee a President, of course, especially the present strange and anomalous product of American politics. Especially were they anxious to see Mrs. Cleveland, and she received by far the greater amount of attention from the masses. People took one quick glance at the President and then turned their eyes upon Mrs. Cleveland and kept tbem there until rudely hustled alqng by the guards with the ceaseless "Move along! move along!" It was plain to see that Mrs. Cleveland knew she was the real center of observation. She could not help seeing what everybody else saw, and probably her husband saw it. too. though nobody can ever tell what he sees by observing his face. It was not possible for one who was here dur-" ing Blaine's visit to help contrasting this event with that. This was a cold. catch-penny.Punch-and-Judy performance compared with that. The Cleveland procession came down Washington street over the same course that Blaioe's procession marshaled, in what was oppressive silence compared with the noisy and wild enthusiasm of that dy. There were a few scattered yells as he rode along, but in general the silence was depressing. As he parsed the corner where the Bates and Occidental Hotels face each other diagonally, which was the main center of observation, there was hardly a voice raised, until some one in sheer sympathy sent out a sound of band-clapping and cheering, which quickly died out as the procession passed on up the street. THE PRESS AND THE PRESIDENT. "Pickaway," in his special report to the Cincinnati Enquirer of the reception in this city, says: "It is evident that the press gang are to follow the presidential party like painted and untutored savages of civilization, to kill, scalp and tomahawk the wounded. This is the first time since the war that a President or a presidential candidate ever traveled on an exclusive train from which even the representatives of the press were concluded. In 1872 Horace Greeley, as an editor and a candidate, set an example'that has always been followed since on similar occasions, of providing special accomodations for tne press. A car devoted to . their exclusive use was attached to the tram wnicb bore Greeley on his celebrated journey. In the campaign of 1884 both Blaine and Logan took most excellent care of the press gang Of coarse the exclusive arrangements of a Demo

cratio President provoke comparisons that are unfavorable and comments that are not pleasant to bear. - ' President Cleveland's "Swing." To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journals The visit of President Cleveland at this particular juncture, it is believed, can have no other purpose than electioneering, for if he de- ' sired to see the country he would not rush through it after night, stopping in the day time only at a few favored locations. These electioneering tours have frequently occurred in the last fifty years, but have, unfortunately, proved disastrous to the candidate. The people seem to regard the great office of President as one too high to be sought by personal solicitation. It is just forty-five years since Henry Clay, an avowed candidate for the office, made a visit to Indiana, and spoke at Richmond and Indianapolis, though, unlike Cleveland, be traveled by daylight, and saw the people. The result of that campaign has become historic. He bad sought the great office assiduously for a quarter of a century, backed by a powerful following, but died without 'reaching it. The following year. 1843, Martin Van Buren, also an avowed candidate, visited Indiana and the West for a similar purpose, but in the convention of: his party failed of a nomination because of the twothirds rule, which was sprung upon him when he had a clear majority. General Scott had for several years been an avowed candidate for the office, and in 1852 got a nomination from his party, but suffered most disastrous defeat by -Pierce, an obscure man taken up by his party because he had no record. The "Swing round the circle" by Andy Johnson, who wauted a nomination to vindicate his policy, must be well remembered as well as his other failures. s- It has ever been thus, and who says Clevelandcan break the record? Mr. Blaine failed of a nomination so long as he sought it, but when he ceased to be a candidate it waajpven him without hesitation, and his elecxlaywould have been assured had Cleveland been'-, better known. His obscurity was greatly in his favor, as all must admit. Blaine greatest strength now for a nomination is bis seeming indifference, which may or may not be simulated, and the weakest thing about John Sherman is his avowed candidacy for the office. When the people want a man for President they will call him, as they did Grant in 18G8. It looks now as if Cleveland would' be nominated again, just as Henry Clay was in 1884, because his party has no other avowed candidate and will permit no other. Can be be elected? I answer, if the unbroken line of precedents for fifty years is any evidence, be cannot. But there is still another reason why his re election, in my opinion,' is impossible. He has grossly insulted the Grand Army of the Republic and every Union soldier by the heartless language of his numerous veto messages, and if nominated he cannot get five per cent of the votes of these men. It must be apparent that no candidate who has alienated such a vast body of men by bis coarse and uncalled for language can be elected. Those vetoes are not the only objections to him by the loyal people. He is so stolid, careless and indifferent that when the day sacred to every soldier comes, Decoration day. then, instead of joining in the procession and showing some respect to the dead, be goes a-fishing. According to his published programme be rushes through the loyal States at the full speed of a locomotive in the night-time, but when he reaches Missouri be remains four days! He stops a few minutes in Chattanooga, but has no time to view Lookout Mountain or Missionary Ridge. He then resumes his journey, and makes the distance between that place and Atlanta after night. Here for a distance of 140 miles is a continuous battlefield, where fifty thousand Union soldiers were either killed or maimed for life; but what does he care for such things? . Such stolid indifference to the memory of brave men was never before witnessed in this country. Oct. 1, 1887. M- Bundy. ?on-Partlsan" (?) Reception. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I am afraid that if your report of Grover Cleveland's reception has no more "expanse" to it than the reception had, after you dedact the mounted guard, the chief marshal and his staff, and the non-partisan (?) Hendricks Club, you will need some "filling" for the space you intended for the report. The chief marshal and the chairman of the executive committee have issued and promulgated enough orders to manage the most wonderful army ever mustered, and in the attempt to carry out these orders, and at the same time be in close reach of the chief attraction. The chief marshal got lost in the position be should have occupied,and the chairman was no less addled. . What could have caused this but the exalted position occupied by them, 1 don't know. Certain it is, it was not the number in the procession, forlorn-, pared with those who satisfied their morbid curiosity by standing and gazing, the chief marshal, staff, and all else in the procession, were small indeed. If you or any of your readers were not entirely satisfied witb the show, it is not the fault of the appearance of the chief attraction, but because yon are hard to satisfy. A more commonplace individual was never on the streets of Indianapolis. Republicans should be entirely satisfied with the show. Anti-Veto. HER MOMI AT STAKE.

Why Mrs. Hoghes-IIalleU Makes No Move Toward a Separation from Her Husband. Philadelphia PreBS. It was said yesterday that friends of Mrs. Hughes-Hallett in this city, who were in a position to know, had stated that the reason Mrs. Hughes-Hallett had taken no steps toward procuring a separation from her husband, who recently brought reproach upon her name, was that by reason of an unfortunate ante-nuptial agreement she would'be rendered penniless and entirely dependent upon his liberality if she moyed in that direction. It was said that at the time of her marriage Miss Schaumberg was induced to settle all her property upon her husband. It was also said Mrs. Hughes-Hallett was keenly disappointed over the will of her aunt. Miss Emily Page, who died recently, because all her aunt's property had been left to Colonel Hughes-Hallett instead of to herself, so that practically to-day she was poverty-stricken. Alonzo P. Douglas, of 711 Walnut street, a lawyer, who has been connected with the management of the property in which Mrs. HughesHallett is interested in this city, said last evening: "The story has some elements of truth, but only so far as relates to a marriage agreement. There was an agreement, but only $25,000 are involved, not ber whole fortune. Colonel Hughes-Hallett, after a custom that is very usual in. England, though not heard of here, caused an ante-nuptial agreement to be made with Miss Schaumberg. under the terms of which be was to receive $25,000 out of ber estate if any separation should take place. 1 suppose the Colonel realized that he was marrying an American girl, and considered that if she left him he would at least be $25,000 in pocket. I cannot tell you what the details of the settlement were. "Miss Page left to Colonel Hughes-Hallet a legacy of only $5,000. The remainder of her money, amounting to about $100,000, went to her niece, . The property of her two uncles, wortn more than four times that sum. she also has. There is something more. Major Schaumberg, in 145 or 1848, at George vashington Page's suggestion, deeded to the latter $25,000 in trust, for his daughter, whose marriage abroad had strained the relations with her father, of which she was only to have a life interest. "Major Schaumberg died shortly after without money enough in cash to bury him. The estate of James Page and his brother consists largely of ground rents. Much of the land belonging to it in the neighborhood of Southwark has been sold, reserving these rents." Another lawyer said that the marriage agreement is among Mrs. Hughes-Hallett's private papers in this city. He considered, however, that he was not justified in producing or describing it in detail. President Van Daren's Visit to Indianapolis. Special to N. Y. Tribune. . President Cleveland will be the first Democratic President to visit Indianapolis since Martin Van Buren, unless Andrew Johnson is counted a Democrat. In Van Buren's day- no railroads traversed the State, and the journey bad to be made in one of the old-fashioned stage coaches. The government bad just cut through the woods what has since gone by the name of the National Road. It was intended to extend from Cumberland, Md., to St Louis, Mo., and was to have been macadamized. When he traversed it it was "a good, broad highway,.'1 not yet clear of stumps. He started on his journey in the fall of the year, when the rain bad softened the earth and the heavy teams had churned it so deep that the bottom was seldom found. He was accompanied by his Postmastergeneral and one or two other public officials. The trip was a bard one and many amusing stories were told of it. The coach frequently broke down and on one or two occasions the distinguished party was compelled to remain for several hours stuck fast in the mud until a new team could be brought from the next station ahead. It is told that on one occasion they reached one of those wayside taverns in Hancock county, where "entertainment for man and beast" was provided at a rather late hour in the evening. ; The landlady was in anything but an agreeable frame of mind. She at first refused to get anything. for the tired travelers to

eat, saying that if they wanted to turn in and sleep till morning they could do so, but she was' . not going to get supper at that time of night for anybody. She was told that one of the travelers was the President, but she refused to believe it. Finally Mr. Van Buren was pointed out to ber. She looked him all over, and with a contemptuous curl of the nose re-

I r "What, that pot-bellied little Untchman f resilient? I think the men of this country must be nlact such a looking fel low as him President!" The party arrived in this city in one of those cold, disagreeable rains that make the autumns in this section dreary beyond discription. He was met by the elite of the city and the chief of the politicians. The festivities were gay and long continued, but the Kinderhook statesman bad mortally offended the rank and file of his party because of some appointments he had made, and they refused to be reconciled. All his blandishments were wasted, and the State gave an overwhelming majority for his opponent the next year. HERMAN S FORAGERS. A Remlntssence of the March Through Georgia. Capt. Daniel Oakey, In October Century. Cock-fighting became one of the pastimes of the 'Flving Column.' Many fine birds were brought in by our foragers. Those found deficient in courage and skill quickly went to the stew-pan in company with the modest barn-yard fowl, but those of redoubtable valor won an honored place and name, and were to be seen riding proudly on the front seat of an artillery caisson, or carried tenderly under the arm of an infantry soldier. "We were proud of cur foragers. They constituted a picked force from each regiment, under an officer selected for the command, and were remarkable for intelligence, spirit, and dating. Before daylight, mounted on horses captured on the plantations, tbey were in the saddle, and away, covering the country sometimes seven miles in advance. Although I have said "in the saddle, many a forager had nothing better than a bit of carpet, and a rope baiter; yet this simplicity of equipment did not abate his power of carrying off hams and sweet potatoes in the face of the enemy. The foragers were also important a? a sort of advance guard, for they formed virtually a curtain of mounted, infantry screening us from the inquisitive eyes of parties of Wheeler's cavalry, with whom they did not hesitate to engage when it was a question of a rich plantation. "When compelled to retire, they resorted to all the tricks of infantry skirmishers and summoned re-enforcements of foragers from other regiments to help drive the 'Johnnies' out. When success crowned their efforts, the plantation was promptly stripped of live stock and eatables. The natives were accustomed to bury provisions, for they feared their own soldiers quite as much as they feared onrs. These subterranean stores were readily discovered by the practiced 'Yankee' eye. The appearance of the ground and a little probing with .a ramrod or a bayonet soon decided whether to dig. Teams were improvised; carts and vehicles of ail sorts were pressed into service and loaded with provisions. If any antiquatted militia uniforms were discovered, they were promptly donned, and a comical procession escorted the valuable train of booty to the point where the brigade was expected to bivouac for the night. The regimentals of the past, even to those of revolutionary times, were conspicuous. "On an occasion where our brigade had the advance, several parties of foragers, consolidating themselves, captured a town from the enemy's cavalry, and occupied the neighboring plantations. Before the arrival of the main column hostilities bad ceased: order had been restored, and mock arrangements were made to receive the army. Our regiment in the advance was confronted by a picKat dressed in the continental uniform, who wared his plumed hat in response to the gibes of the men, and galloped away on his bareback mule to apprise his comrades of our approach. We marched into the town, and rested on each side of the main street Presently a forager, in ancient militia uniform indicating bieh rank, debouched from a aide street to do the honors of the occasion. He was mounted on a Rosin ante with a bit of carpet for a saddle. His old chapeau in hand, he rode with gracious dignity through the street, as if reviewing the brigade. After him came a family carriage laden with hams, sweet potatoes, and other provisions, and drawn by two horses, a mule and a cow, the two latter ridden by postillions." GRAND-COMMANDER RE A. A Sketch of the New Chief of the . Grand ' Army of the Republic St Faul Bpecial. Judge John P. Rea, of Minneapolis, who was to-day elected Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, was born Oct. 13, 1840, in Lower Oxford township, Chester county, Pennsylvania. His father owned a woolen factory, and he passed his time there and attended school until September, 1800, when be went to Piqua, O., where he taught school. When the war broke out he became a member of Company B, Eleventh Ohio Infantry. He served with this regiment four months, aud was then commissioned second lieutenant of Company I, First Ohio Cavalry; was promoted to first lieutenant March 12, 1862, and in April of the following year to the rank of major. He served in the regiment three years and four months, and was absent only ten days, seven as prisoner and three days on sick leave. After retnrning from the war he entered the Wesleyan College at Delaware, Ohio, and graduated in the classical course in June, 1867. During the vacation of I860 he entered tha office of O. J. Dickey, of Lancaster, Penn., as a law student and was admitted to the bar there in August, 1863. He became associated with Judge Dictev, and in March, 1869, wasappointed one of three notary publics in Lancaster by Gov. Geary. On April" 12, 1869, he was appointed Assessor of internal revenue by President Grant for the Ninth district of Pennsylvania, which office he held until it was abolished by law in 1873. In 1869 ho was married to Miss Emma Gould, of Ohio. They have no children. He continued practicing law in Lancaster until December, 1875, when be removed to Minneapolis. Judge Rea's cousin, John A. Rea, A. G. Wileox, James L Hendry, Charles F. Hendry and Judge Rea purchased the Tribune, and the subject of this sketch became editor-in-chief. In May, 1876, a controlling interest in the Tribune, then a morning paper, was purchased by the Pioneer-Press and converted into an evening paper. Judge Rea continued as editor until May, 1877, when he resumed the practice of law and became a member of the firm of Rea. Rea, Woolley & Kitchell. subsequently Rea, Kitcbe.ll & Shaw. In November, 1877, be was elected judge of probate and served for four years. In April. 1886, Judge Koon resigned his seat on the bench of the District Court, of this district, and Governor Hnbbard appointed Judge Rea. Judge Rea has always been prominent in the Grand Army. He is a member and a past Commander of 6eorga N. Morgan Post. He is a Republican. WORK OF THE LABOR BUREAU. A Report on Marriage and Divorce Information from Different Fields. Washington Special. The Bureau of Labor is putting the finishing touches on its report on marriage and divorce, which was ordered by the Forty-ninth Congress. The Commissioner takes a special pride and interest in this work, as it will demonstrate the ability of the Bureau, under favorable conditions, to present to one session of Congress a report ordered at the previous session. In all cases, of course, so quick work as this could-not be done with the force now in the field and the limited appropriation at command; but in the present instance the divorce statistics were always forthcoming on application at the public record offices. The marriages were harder to get, and the results of the work must be approximate rather than positive, as the registry of vital statistics is carried on with only moderate care, even in the best regulated communities. In only one part of the country were the agents of the bureau confronted with any material difficulty in getting access to the information they wanted as the public records were considered generally open to anybody's inspection at proper hours. But in Louisiana, it seems, there is a law which foroids the record clerks of courts to expose their books to view except on a judicial order. The judges, of course, made no trouble about issuing such orders, but the delays involved in so much formality, though slight, were annoying sometimes. The reports on strikes, on the cost of production of several staple necessaries, and on the condition of workingwomen, are all under way. When they have been disnosed of. Commissioner Wright has in mind an investigation of the condition of railway employes in all parts of the Union their wages, the character of their duties, the number of hours per day, week, or month that each is employed, and in the case of engineers, firemen and train-hands, th number of miles of continuous runs and their frequency. The report on workingwomen is far advanced, and will be very voluminous, but exceedingly interesting, as it will leave the path of dry routine and make a sort of excursion into literary fields. The inquiry i conducted by three persons, two women and one man. who work in unison. They have laid out thirty leading cities t as the sites for their investigation, and will present reports on an average of about 700 women in each place. As soon as they enter a town they find out what they can about the industries

there in which women are employed. Then they select certain typical mills or shops, and cultivate the personal acquaintance of some of the women in each. They talk to these women, draw from them their views of their own condition, their criticisms on their employers, their most urgent needs, etc. Then the employers are taken in turn, and their version of everything is compared with the women's. Whenever it is practicable, the women are visited at their homes, and it is designed to get an inside look at the best, the worst, and the medium class of these dwelling-places.

Dan Voorhees's Candidate. Philadelphia Times. Not only Senator Voorhees, but hisson Charles Voorhees and his other son Jita Voorhees, are reported as against the administration at heart, and as ' decidedly preferring Governor Hill for the presidency in 1888. Governor Hill is said to be a candidate for 1892, but ihen : the Voorhees family has a candidate of its own for 1892. whose name is Daniel Webster Voorhees. By 1892, however, the Bourbon sentiment that the Indiana Senator represents will be as dead as secession, and its friends ineligible except for offices that may be regarded as political shelves. Voluntary Contributions. New York Tribune. The Ohio office-holders in Washington have resolved to make a desperate effort te save a sinKing ship. They have been "seen" by Gen. Powell, and in-order to make his election as Governor sure, they will come to his rescue with the magnificent sum of $1,000. And of course it will all be the most voluntary of voluntary contributions. . , . - Losing His Scruples. Milwaukee Sentinel.

Scott has given him 10.000 Havana cigars, while Mrs. Cleveland has accepted the finest Jersey heifer in Editor Child's herd. Protect Uia Eyes and Ears. Philadelphia Press. The President will stop in Chattanooga for one hour oniy. It is feared that if-he remained longer the smoKe and glare and noise ofthe protected industries, which are rapidly making that city one of the great manufacturing centers of the continent, might sprain his eyes and ears. A Disinterested Opinion. Philadelphia Press. " Every, mug in Massachusetts is asking himself whether he should wurop this year. From the stand-point of a disinterested observer we should say that this is going to be a good year for the melancholy mugwumps to say nothing, and wait till the clouds roll by. 1Y7t the Dean of York Said. London Truth. I commend to all relatives of corpses the following words of the Dean of York, which he addressed last week to the members of the Church' of England Burial Society: ' "A costly, ostentatious funeral is considered a mark of vulgarity.' It Pays to Advertise. Minneapolis Tribune. Mr. J. F. Wright, who advertised in the Tribune for a wife about a year ago. is now the proud father of a bouncing boy. Our advertising rates can be ascertained by inquiry at the counting-room. Plainer Laoeuge. Detroit Tribune. Speaking of the Maryland contest George William Curtis says that "the President is in apparent alliance with the enemies of reform." "Apparent alliance" is good. It means "in cahoots." .
