PREPARING FOR NEXT YEAR

President Brnsh Says the Home Clnb's Prospects Are Better than Ever. It Is in the Market for the Best Players Money Can Buy Hanover Wins the Foot Ball Game From Wabash Kacinjr Events. The Indianapolis players wi!) close their seaion in Cincinnati on Tuesday, and then return homo to be paid off. when the club will disband until the opening of the games next spring. President Brash said yesterday that the finances of the elnb wev'e in good shape. "There has been no cbanee." be continued, "in the proprietorship or business management of the club. It remains the same, and will likely do so. We , are stronger financially than ever, and will be in the market for players. We want the best money can buy.1 "Hare any contracts been eignedr was asked by the reporter. "No new player has been signed except Buckiey, of the Syraense club. He is to come to as as a catcher. In regard to other negotiations, I do not think it is proper to speak at this time. We are dealing with others, bat there is nothing certain." "Whatabont Hines, Clark and Hoover?" "I can give yon nothing definite in regard to iheno. As to Foster, we have a claim on him that will be recognized by the League when the proper time comes for a hearing of the points, if there are to be any. I have no official information that he has signed with any other club. It&Bt summ r we began negotiating with Minneapolis for Foster's release. The price was fixed and the release was about to be consummated, when Milwaukee put up the price, which we would not accent. Foster at this time said be would. in consideration of what bis club had done. fsign with the Indianapolis club and none other for the coming season. When his contract with Minneapolis expired he signed an agreement to sign a contract with us, and in that agreement we, on oor part, were to adrance him $100 in October, another $100 in November, the third in December, and the fourth in January. For the first hundred we sent him a check on which he got the moner, for it has been returned to us. Indorsed by Foster, through the regular order ef banking business. The Indianapolis club has a legal right to him and ia not worrying about the matter." Mr. Brush said that there was no intention now to release any of the reserved players, "It will cost nothing." he continued, "to keep them on the list through the winter. If we think proper, later on, some of tbem may be disposed of, but as far as I can see that is not probable unless their places can be filled by better men. It i3, in fact, too early to tell what we will do In regard to players, but you can understand this, that we do not intend to be left in the lurch if money can secure the men we desire." The directors, few daysago, thought they had everything in shape for securing new grounds. They lay east of the Orphans' Asylum, on College avenue.and had the con tractbeen carried out, would have given the borne club ground much superior to those occupied the past season. As the lease was about to be closed, it was discovered tbat over half the tract represented to be under the contract of one man was owned by several different parties, as a portion of the ground had been laid oft in lots. The club could do nothing with a part of the tract, hence the negotiations failed. The directors have in view other grounds, but nothing definite has been reached, therefore plans of improvement are held in abeyance for the time being. Mr. Brush says other details as to the next season are reserved until after the League meeting, which occurs on , tbe 16th of next month. The Ilase-Ball Championship Gaines. New York, Oct 22. The Detroits and St Louis played the last game of the series for the championship of the world to-day which is to be layed in the East Both teams start to-night for Detroit, where they will play the final games. It was exceedingly cold, and the few spectators present were kept con stantly on the move in order to keep ud circulation. The players seemed to be - afraid of the ball, and handled it very tenderly. Many plays-were missed which, under ordinary circumstances, would have been easily accomplished. Scorer ST. LOUIS.

The Indianaoolis clab played at Logan sport yesterday, defeating the Logan Stars by a score of seven to six. Crane, of the Toronto club, who is in great demand, won thirty-two of the forty-five games iu which he pitched. Burdock, of the Boston Club, says that not only eau Detroit beat St. Louis, but that at least four clubs in the League can do the same thing. It ia very likely that at the meeting of the National League the credit of a base bit for base on balls will be done away with in next season's code of rules. Detroit won every series of games in the League except against Chicago, the Whites winning the series bv 1U to S, while Chicago won every series except with Pittsburg. The poorest base-runners of the season in the League were pitchers Keefe. Getzein,' Casey, McCormick, Morris, Welch, Maul, liealy, Shaw, Gilmore and Stemnueyer. The Cubian Giants yesterday defeated the Cincinnati Reds by a score of (i to 5. Parago and Williams were the battery for the Giants, and Hart and Baldwin were the Reds' pitcher and catcher: Toung Devlin, the left-handed pitcher, whose principal work has been done for the Fhiladelphias, has been secured by Von der Abe for next year's service on the Browns. He was leleased by the Phillies because they had. four crack pitchers without hini. Shomberg has been presented by A. G. Spaulding with the celluloid bat and plush box offered as a prize to the member of the Inuianauolis elub attaining the highest batting average. Glasscock and Seery were each presented a day or two ago with a gold Elk badge, set with diamonds. President Steams, of the Detroit Base Ball Club, said to a reporter in New York yesterday that unless the League changes its constitution at the next meeting so as to give the visiting club a percentage of the gate receipts, the Detroit Club will forfeit its franchise and join the American Association. It is said a goou many young players refuse to join big teams because they are afraid of the old cliques in the nines, who would not give tbem a fair show. The Boston management want Duffy, of the Lowells, and would pay him a good salary to sign in Boston, but Dutfy tUhts shy. The clever Lowell hitter claims he wouldn't get a fair show in Boston. 1 Neagle, the pitcher who flourished with the old Allegheny during the days of Taylor, Dr.scoll, Dk-k-trson. Hays. Battin and Creamer, is at present in the mploy of the Allegheny County Light Company, lie iths forced to retire from the pitcher's box on account of a lame arsn. During part of this season he played an outfield position with the llacon, Ga., team, fie expects to juin the small army of twirlers again in 1888. Boston ITerald: The Washington are willing to inter the American Association in place of Brooklyn ind allow the latter to ga into the League. This would be advantageous to Washington, as it will reitore the 25-crnt tariff and stir up an interest in rames with Baltimore that does not now exist. One tan easily imagine the rivalry between New York and Brooklyn with the latter in the League. ' It only retrains for Byrne to make the right sort of a propsition to Washington. St Lcais Pdst-DispatcTu It is hard to reconei'.e the apologies for the Browns' poor playing made by their Ht. Louis admirers with statewents from New Yoik paper that not only the Browns, but Trosident Von der Ahe, painted the eity red the other wight, and that the champions were Bp at Philadelphia until 3 o'clock a. tn.. when they took a train for Washington. The desperate attempts to make it appear that the fates kro against the Browns resolve themselves practically into the assertion that good physical condition is not nocessary to success in ball-playing. Hanover Defeats the Wabash Eleven. Quite a large number of persons gathered at Athletie Park yesterday afternoon to see the championV:p foot-bad game between the elevens from Hano ver and Wabash colleges. The day was clear, but atber cola, ana consequently me greater part ox tee .

crowd went out Into the field, where, behind the rope guard which separated them from the playing field, they could follow the ball as it was carried op and down by the opposing players. In this part of the audienee were- the more intensely-interested spectators, the partisan friends of the interested colleges, distinguished by their colors, Wabash scarlet and Hanover light blue and garnet The uniforn; s of the Hanover eleven wore of white dnck with bine stockings and garnet caps. The Wabash eleven wore brown duck uniforms with blue stockings and caps. The game was to have buen called at 2:30 o'clock, bot owing to the poor condition of the only ball on the ground, a dolav ensued. On the toss the choice fell to Wabash. They chose the south side of the ground. The ball was kicked off by Captain Kelly, of the Hanover eleven, and the game began. After some sharp work by Wabash the ball was forced down to the Hanover goal, and Harney scored the first touch-down for Wabssh. The ball was carried out and Captain Martin kicked a goal, which was disallowed, because the ball was kicked before it bad touched the ground. The score then stood 4 to O in favor of Wabash. Captain Kelly then kicked off. McCormick got the ball and by some beautiful running and dodging carried the ball to the Wa

bash goal, where Harrison scored a toncn-aown. CaDtain Kellv then kicked a goal, scoring six points for Hanover. After the next kick-off Schnll secured the ball and carried it over the goal line, but outside the boundary line, and touched it down. This the referee allowed a touch down as he was so situated that he could not see the play. The ball was carried out and placed and Martin k'eked a goal. The forty five minutes were then un and the referee called time, The score at this point stood lO to 6 in favor of Wa rns n. After an intermission of ten minutes the nlay began again. The last half was bv far the hardest fought of tne two. Hanover scored the onlv oomt made. A. touch down was m ade in touch in goal, the ball was then punted out from the intersection of the two lines, caught by a member of the Hanover eleven and Kelly of the Hanover's kicked a goal, winning the game by a score or 1JS to lO, The game was an extremely even and hard-fought one. , The team work of both colleges was good, and tne work of the half-backs, especially, was mucn necter tnan in the game of the week before. Kelly, McCormick, Harrison, Johnson and Dawson, did the best work of the Hanover eleven. McCormick especially duvnguished himself, while Kelly, not only as a player, but as a captain, will rank with the very best. For the Wabash team. Martin, Harney and Kanalls did the most creditable playing. Earle, one of their best runners, was quite lame. The casualties were few and of no very serious char' actor. In the last "half" Schull, of the Wabash eleven, twisted his ankle and retired from the held. Stock barger taking his place. Martin received a seV? 1. 1 4? l J 1 A 4.1... vcrc uhjw over ins leu eye, anu was siau cua vu wo shin. On the Hanover side the injuries were confined almost entirely to their clothing. In this regard Captain Kelly and McCormick suffered the most Owing to the delay in calling the game, the Hanover eleven missed their train, much to their dissatisfaction. Clint L. Hare officiated as referee, to the satisfaction of both sides. Next Saturday the elevens from But ler and Purdue universities will play. Racine at Lexlneton. LicxixorojT, Ky.. Oct 22.

The great statue of Abraham Lincoln was unveiled this afternoon in Lincoln Park, in the presence of a large crowd tbat bad braved the chilly wind from the lake and assembled to witness the ceremony. Shortly before 3 o'clock the booming of cannon startled the multitude, and as the sound died away over the waters of Lake Michigan little "Abe" Lincoln, son of Robert Lincoln, stepped op on tne base of the flag covered bronze figure of his grandfather and palled a rope which held the covering. The folds slowly nnloosened and dropped down at the base, and the tall, erect figure of Abraham Lincoln shone brightly in the sun, which struggled through the clouds at tbat moment. A tremendous shout went up from the 5,000 people assembled, and it was joined a moment later by the roar from the cannon. Mr. Thomas F. Witbrow, one of the trustees of the Bates fund, out of which the cost of the statue was defrayed, formally presented the figure to the Lincoln Park board, and Mr. W. C. Goody replied in behalf of the board. The oration was delivered by the Hon. Leonard Swett, whose intimate political, social and domestic relations with the great President have made bim one of the best . informed men now living on Lincoln's life. As a condensed biography of Lincoln, it has not been excelled, and it contains anecdotes and reminiscences which have never before been published. Said be: "It would not have been possible for any other soil on the globe, or any country other than America, or 'any other civilization than our own, to have produced him. He was emphatically the child of the Republic and the product of on'r institutions. He was of the people and for the people." After sriving a brief sketch of Lincoln's youth. Mr. Swett continued: "The most marked characteristic of Mr. Lincoln was his personal peculiarity. No one who knew him ever knew another like him. He stands out from the whole world of his time, isolated and alone. I rode the Eighth judicial circuit with him for eleven years, and in the allotment, between bim and the large Davis, in the scanty provisions of those times, as a rule, I slept with him. His character was that of great directness and extreme simplicity. Clothing, to him, was made for covering . and warmth to the body, and not for ornament. He never in his life once got the betterof his fellowman in a trade, and never loaned money on interest I never knew bim but once to borrow money or give bis note." Mr. Sweet then spoke briefly of the wellknown events which had taken place, up to the election of Mr. Lincoln as Presiden, and continued: "1 believed he desired the second nomination, because that involved an approval by the common people, whom he always loved and confided in, of the course which he had taken, often in great doubt, daring the first administration. Yet he wonld do nothing and would allow no friend to do anything to get it. He looked with mdifference upon machinations against him in his Cabinet and with indifference over the Senate aud members of Congress to the action of the common people, as expressed in the preliminary conventions and resolutions of State legislatures, as most near the people, as though an . electrical chord of sympathy extended from bim to tbem. They did not disappoint him. and finally, when the second convention met in Baltimore, in May, the only contest there was as to who should have the honor of putting Mr. Lincoln in nomination. The sublime and crowning characteristic of Mr. Lincoln, however, was his self-reliance. During the eleven years I was with him at the bar of this State. I never knew him to ask the advice of a friend about anything. During the four years of his admistration. I never knew and never heard of his doin this. I never knew him, in the preparation of a trial or the perplexity of it in court, to turn to his associate and ask his advice. And here, if I may be permitted to mention it. was another very remarkable and useful trait of his character. It was tbat mental equipoise which is disturbed - at nothing and diverted from the pathway it has marked out by nothing. Although prosecuting the war simplr from a sense of duty, and not from a belief in its success, yet he kept right on, and was neither depressed by disaster nor elated by success. He seemed to comprehend the magnitude of the contest iu which be was engaged more thoroughly than any other man. In short, he was the strong- man of the contest, and the great men at .Washington learned to gain renewed courage from bis calmness, to lean upon his own great arm for support." Sensational Iteport Contradicted. ' SAurr Ste. "Marie. Mich.. Oct 22.

A MOVE OF SOME MEANING

The Capital City Company Formally Ac cepts the Natural-Gas Ordinance. What the Officers Say as to Their Intention The Board of Trade Governors Propose Plans for Supplying Gas. : The natural-gas question took precedence of everything in the way of street talk yesterday. The views remained as various as they were at the begiuning, although many men who hereto fore have strongly opposed any modification of the ordinance have come around to a point of concession as to an advance in '. prices. ,". Howev er, they tarn their criticism on other features of the ordinance submitted by the Indianapolis Natural-gas Company. Aldermen and councilmen are non-committal to Borne extent, but the opinions of some of them as to . changing the schedule of prices have materially changed. By Monday afternoon it is supposed that : every councilman will be prepared to come to the committee of the whole with his reasons for the position be may take, either for or againsc the ordinance. " '- Yesterday afternoon the directors of the Capital City Company held a meeting, at which the relation their company bears to the question of early piping was discussed at length. It ended in the adoption of. a resolution to accept the ordinance passed Jane 27, together with "all its provisions, instructions, stipulations, requirements and regulations." But in anticipation of a change in the ordinance the following was incorporated in tne resolution: "And should there hereafter be passed any general or special ordinance of said eity, granting to any corporation or firm any rights or privileges concerning the sale, use or piping of nataral gas in said eity, this company reserves the right to accept the same and be entitled to its benefits." At 5 o'clock, last evening, in accordance with the instructions of the directors, the president and secretary of the company, D. H. Wiles and Stanton J. Peelle, went to the city clers'8 office and formally accepted the terms of the old ordinance. When asked if the company could give any definite promises as to when it could begin the work of piping Mr. Wiles said, "We have four good wells ready and there are four more under contract One of tbem will be in next week and the rest will follow rapidly. I can not say exactly when we can begin work, but certainly not nntil all the wells are in, which at the furthest will be within thirty days." Mr. Peelle remarked that the sixty days' clause in the ordinance, requiring the work of piping to begin within that time, kept the company from accepting it until the directors knew what they could rely on as to a supply. 'We thiuk we have tbat point settled." be continued, "and when these four wells come in we will be ready to pipe to the city. We have options on pipes, and are otherwise prepared to carry out oor plans." A. Gas Trust Proposed. A meeting of the governors of the Board of Trade has been called for Monday morning at 11:30 o'clock to consider a project for the appointment of gas commissioners, who will have charge of the gas interests of the city. A company has been formed which proposes to assign its capital stock to any three men who may be named by the Board of Trade, the stock to be held in trust and passed to their successors in office, to be appointed by the Board of Trade every two years. By this plan the stock is inalienable, and no rival company can ever get rid of the competition. Certificates or bonds of the amount of $50 will be issued, payable in five years at 6 per cent., and providing farther that when presented at the office of the company, the amount due by the bolder for gas, shall be credited upon the certificate. It is claimed that over $100,000 has already been pledged to the enterprise by business men anxious to secure gas at the ordinance rates and in the manner proposed, which diverts -ib profits, after the plant is paid for. into public and street improvements under the direction of the Board of Trade. It will enable the board to offer gas free to manufacturers seeking a location, and thus greatly aid in the effort to build no the eity. Several responsible men have been seen and have expressed a willingness to act as commissioners if requested by the board of governors. Others bave volunteered to canvass the eity to secure the necessary funds. Options on several wells already "in" have been secured, and it is the intention to purchase wells, paying according to their capacity and distance from the main pipe lines. The Co-Operatlve Scheme. The meeting called for last night by William Patterson, the lawyer, brought about forty persons to the Criminal Court room, where the cooperative idea in supplying natural gas was landed as the only relief from monopolies. Carlin Hamlin presided, and Mr. Patterson, in a long speech, denounced the ordinance that had been introduced in the interest of the Indianapolis company. He said a great deal not pertinent to the question, and and then proceeded to show how easy it would be to get gas into the city if every citizen would give to a common fund the price he pays for coal. In time the cost could be so reduced, after the plant was . paid for, that everybody could have eas for practically nothing. Nobody else had much to say, and Mr. Patterson presented a series of resolutions, in which the Indianapolis company's ordinance was bitterly denounced as creating a monopoly. The objectionable features, as Mr. Patterson saw them, were detailed. This was followed by a resolution calling on the Council to iet the present ordinance remain unchanged. Another resolution favored the cooperative plan as set forth at the meetings held by citizens some months ago. The series was adopted and the meeting adjourned with the understanding that those present would unite with the Board of Trade in its meeting Monday morning to discuss the co-operative idea coming frcm that body. Notes Regarding Gas Matters. The Broad Ripple Natural-gas Company do not think they have received notice in accord ance with the magnitude of their discoveries, and a proposition to write the Board of Trade, City Council and Aldermen to visit their wells is being entertained. " The Citizens Natural-gas Comoanv. of Eaton, Ind., has filed its articles with the Seeretary of State. The capital stock is $5,000. The " directors are: Henry Wittatnyer, John W. Long, George W. Carter, Eli Fooman. Daniel Lmdee. John u. Morris, and Zachariah Youngs. There was a laree and interesting meeting of citizens at the Second-ward engine-bouse last evening for the purpose of discussing the merits of the ordinance offered by the Indianapolis Natural-ea3 Company under which they propose to supply tne city witn gas by Jan. 1. ExMayor J. L. McMaster presided, and Jas. P. Baker acted as secretary. It was' unanimously decided to request the Council to approve of the ordinance. - - BUSINESS TROUBLES. A Would-Be Rival of the Standard Oil Com pany Makes an Assignment Detroit, Oct 22. The managers of the Alpha Oil Company, the young rival of the Standard Oil monopoly, have made an assignment Its capital, with that of branch institutions, was $6,000,000. Its leading spirits are the most prominent men of Detroit and Michigan, with a sprinkling of Cleveland millionaires. Judge Isaac Marston is secretary and treasurer of the International Oil Company, which has the same patents as the Alpha, the American branch of the organization. He says the International Company ia not affected by the troubles of the Alpha Company, and that the latter concern will be reorganized and continue. The whole interests of both the Alpha and International companies are founded on the inventions of T. O. Hall, of Chicago, who had his process of refining patented in the United States, Canada and all the European countries, including Russia. The procuring of these patents cost $200,000. The International Oil Refining Company, of Michigan, was formed in July last. It owds eight-twelfths of the United States and European patents. The Alpha company, on the Canadian side, was capitalized for $1,000,000, aud on the American side the branch, which depended on tb same discoveries of Hall, was capitalized at $5,CC0,000. The crisis was re

cently reached. Money had been so lavishly spent tbat the supply gave out The workmen were not paid, and lawsuits were commenced

representing claims of the laboring men. The company deeded it property to Mr. Hall for SIUU.uuu, and Hall assierneditto Mayor Thorher, of Marquette. According to tbe records, this leaves Mr. Tburber as practical owner. .Tbe outcome will be a matter of great financial mo ment in Detroit and Michigan. The company bad 'constructed a pipe line to the Canadian oil neids, built immense machine shops and started a bane to conduct its finances. Sakkia, Ont, Oct 22. T. G. Hall, of the Alpha Oil Company, has taken action against a local paper for $20,000 damages for an alleged libelous article regarding Hall's process of re fining oiL In the course of an interview" this evening, Mr. Hall, referring to the reported financial troubles of the compauy, said that while he was temporarily embarrassed, tbere had been no assignment made and the company was entirely solvent. COL. GRANT'S CAMPAIGN. lie Isn't Much of a Talker, but the People Like Him and He Makes a Good Impression. Special to the Indlanaeolis Journal. New YoBKOct 22. Over tbe desk of the secretary of the Republican State committee, in their rooms in the Fifth-avenue Hotel, hangs a life-size photograph. It is of tbe profile of a good-looking man. The brow, lips and chin are in a straight line and slightly inclined. The forehead is broad, even, and a little low. The low effect is heightened by wearing the hair down, not in a bang, but brushed forward in a careless curve. The eyebrows are well marked. and the eyes set back under them are large and brown. They are not fully opened, but the eye lids droop like a half-closed folding door, ready to be pushed back at once. The nose is straight and wide. Tbe mustache is long and sweeping; the dark brown hair could be palled back almost to the ear. It is evident that it is carefully brushed, oiled and groomed. The mouth is more gentle than firm. It has pleasing curves and a ruddy fullness of the lips. The chin is square, but cot rugged. It and the cheeks are covered with a fall, dark-brown beard half an inch long, worn more for conven ience in not shaving than on its own account. as the moustache is made the ornamental feature of the face. The apparel is costly, easyf ttiBg, and shows neither good nor bad taste. It is what the ordinary man would wear if he had money enough to buy good clothes and knew where to go to order them. The collar is moderately tall, as high as it could be with comfort to a long seek. Tbe ends are not bent over, but notched. A figured black satin scarf and a pearl in a gold star for a scarf pin, a silkfaced frock coat, and quiet trousers; the ordinary garb of a prosperous business man, are worn in this photograph. There are other photographs around the room and each one has a name on it. This photograph has and needs none. Every one who has ever seen Col. Frederick Dent Grant, Republic an candidate for Secretary of State, will recog nize at once that it is a faithful renetition of his features and dress. The only peculiarity in dress about Colonel Grant tbat does not appear in the picture is bis habit of always wearing black kid gloves. He wears them on tne street. He keeps them on in his office till he must take tbem off to write. He wears them in a hotel parlor, in a reception room, and when he was nominated at tbe Republican convention at Saratoga and was escorted down from bis hotel to tbe convention in making his brief speech of thanks he wore the black kid gloves still, and his solitary gesture was the waving of a black kid-gloved hand. Colonel Grant and bis wife, who was formerly Mies Honors, of Chicago, are now making a tour of the State for votes. Senator Hiscock and ex-Senator Miller are the oratorical attrac tions, but more people come to see Colonel Grant than to hear the two Senators. Mrs. Grant does not usually go to meetings with her husband. She stays at the hotel or the bouse of friends and a reception is given where she re ceives the townsfolk. She is a charming, gra cious woman, and is making friends for her husbaud. Colonel Grant is no talker. It pains him to appear in public and he is embarrassed in even the shortest speech. He has not said over a hundred sentences in any one pnblie speech: when be was nominated and escorted to tbe platform in the convention, he stood silent for some time, blushed, turned and looked from side to side of the ball and murmured in a voice tbat could not be heard far, "This is an honor for which 1 am truly grateful. If elected, I shall try to do my duty." It is cot so much embarrassment that troubles bim but tbe dif fidence and inability to feel at borne and talk on a platform. Off tbe platform, Colonel Grant is not reticent. He talks well, readily and sensibly. He feels at ease in a chair and will chat away entertainingly for some time, but put bim on his feet and his voice goes away with his thoughts. It has been tbe same way on bis tour of the State. Either Senator Hiscock or ex-Senator Miller would open with a long speech on the issues of the campaign and the various bad things the Democrats had done and the good things the Republicans had done and were going to do. Colonel Grant would wait nntil the oration was over. He would be introduced, would bow. would tell the people how glad he was to see them, what a prosperous and pleasing town and county they had, and tbat he would do his duty if elected. This took a minute or two. There were cheers when be began, which had hardly finished when the cheers at the conclusion of the speech would come. The novelty rather takes with tbe people. There are any number of men who can climb on a platform and talk permanently, but Colonel Grant is the first one to make a tour of the State and say nothing, not because he isn't willing, but simply because he can t make a speech. Colonel Grant makes a good impression personally. He isn't mighty and he isn't humble; smoKes good cigars, wears good ciotnes, cas a pretty wife, a comfortable home, an easy, wellfed look, and is the kind of man nobody would expect sparkling brilliancy from, but would prefer to have bim in their houses or at their dinner-tables than a man who might be an orator and the possessor of an extended intellect. but not able to handle a fork or hold a wine-glass. He is going on in an amiable, pleasing way, making no enemies, for there is nothing in him to offend. He attacks nothing aud rubs no fur the wrong way. At the Republican headquarters, Colonel Grant causes no trouble. He knows that he is cot a politician, and he asks for, and is glad to take, the advice of men who are. He does not go into the room as if he owned the wbole nl ace because he was candidate for Secre tary of State and heads tbe ticket, but be is grateful for any suggestions and does not find fault He simply asks the old politicans in charge of the campaign what they want to bave him do, and when they tell him he goes and does it without questioning.
