THE GENERAL'S QUIET DAY

Expressions of People's Favor, Though, Aro Manifested in Yarion3 Ways, J)fI?stion3 from Indiana and Illinois Will Call on the Nominee Thursday Thini Thit Show the Tenor of rublic UilL From the hear General Harrison was nozni fcatsd there bad been bat little cessation in the demands the people made upon hta attention Until day before yesterday. Those who witnessed the rcsh of the crowd into his office the tnoment the newa came from Chicago that he would be at the head of the ticket, remember the pushing and pulling there was anions his friends to be among the first to congratulate him. It waa an act of kindness to hurriedly crive him to hU home, but there, also, little zhaneo for quietness was assured, for the people followed him, and manifested their enthusiasm n hurrahs and demand for speeches. tVithin three honra after the nomination -.siting delegations began to tome to the eity, and to them the first of hia ejhort series of speeches, which hare added to the General's fame, were made. Since then there has been a constant strain upon his strength to meet like demands, he hiving during tS-4 past week alone received seven delegations and shaken hands with over fire thousand strangers. It was this task that brought upon him the neuralgic pains which eaused him considerable suf. feriog Friday night, but from which he had greatly recovered during Saturday. Sunday came to him with still greater relief, and although yesterday morning there was a slight return of the pains, by night he was again comyjaratirely free from them. His physician, Dr. Jameson, has advised him to remain v iuiet as possible for a day or two. In addition to the calls the General rave per sonal attention to the correspondence that became immense in congratulatory letters aud telegrams. This part of the work has been systematized so (bat it ean be handled with but little difficulty by the General and his secretaries without overtaxing his strength. There teems to be no end to the letters. They come by every mail, from people of the highest distinction to the most humble citizen. In this mail can always be found congratulatory expressions from one r more of the General s old soldiers. Mr. Alexander, his secretary, thinks that nearly every urri-or of the General's old regiment and brigade has written him. Many of them are like the one received yesterday from J. II. Reitxell, ef Company C of the old Seventieth, who lives In Waterrifle, Kan. It reads: "Please accept the compliments of an 'old soldier of your regiment on your success. I was sick nigh unto deatn in hospital No. 4, Gallatin, Tenn., and 70a visited and comforted roe. I have always remembered it with a grateful heart." The General also receives many letters from commercial men, with whom he appears to be a great favorite. A Utter signed by twenty-two of them and cent from Utica, X. V., came yesterday, stating that 300,000 commercial travelers would vote ftr him. There will possibly be no receptions until Thursday, when delegations ' from Sbelbyville, in this State, MonticellV Springfield and Ddcatur. I1L, will visit him. The Springfield Republicans will come in on a special train, leaving that city Thursday morn Ing via the I. G and the I., B. & W. railways. The delegation will be composed of the Black Eagle Club, the Lincoln Club and many others who wish to eall on General Harrison. The ?arty will arrive at 12 noon. The famous Wa ten 'aetory Band will accompany the; clnbs, Maj. James A. Connelly will be the spokesman for she delegation. Lieut. -Gov. Jno. C Smith, 'prifate" Joe Fifer, candidate for Governor, lion. David Littler and Col. Bluford Wilson Vill be among the visitors. An Admirer or Harrison. A young Democrat whose name can be given, If tecessary, tells why he will vote for Harrison: ''When I came to Indianapolis, poor, just from she mines, with an ambition to read law, he aid, "I was timid, and at all times dreaded to meet men who had achieved distinction. . I had not been here long before a friend of mine, also ft miner, wrote, asking me to see General Harrison and request him to use his Influence in getting a pension for him. It appeared to me to be a hard task, and I consulted some Democratic companions about the matter. They told me not to go to the General, as I would meet with a rebuff. I followed their advice, bat after many days my 'conscience began to trouble me for not doing tny duty to my friend. I determined to go to the General, cost what it might. He was in court when I sought him, and fearing to approach him personally, I had a note passed over to him requesting him to see me at bis leisure. Instead f waiting for me to eall on him he came to the ffice where I was, and approaching me, after inquiring where I conli be found, said: 'You wish to see ma.' I bad no fears after that and readily explained xny friends case. I have not talked to or heard from General Harrison since that day. bat I intend to vote for him. and so will my friend, for within six weeks after I mentioned 1he mattor to the General the pension came. He wrote neither to me nor my friend stating. what be had done, bos we know that it was through tfjsneral Hrrrison'a influence the pension was secured. We will not only vote for him, but spend xnonths where we can do him any good by argument or appeal." The 1'artj is In Line. Mr. Pickett, superintendent of the Indianapolis Natural-gas Company, returned yesterday from a week's visit to his old home in Pennsylvania. He says the people in that State are very pronounced for protection, and that Il Republicans are well pleased with general Harrison's nomination. There are to mugwumps there this year as there were in the campaign of 13S4. Pennsylvania Republican! are very confident that Indiana will be carried by Harrison and Morton. "I met a great many men from different parts of FennsjlTania and New York," he continued, "and that was the general opinion held by them. I talked with several persons who bad recently been in Buffalo, and each one, without knowing that I had seen the others, besran by saying that Buffalo was all Republican. This, I consider, a ery significant fact, and there must be something in It. The Republicans have selected the very best man in the United States to manage the campaign; no better man than Senator Quay eculd have been found anywhere. I think there can be no doubt of Geueral Harrison 3 election In November." He Is Not so Independent. T. J. Martin, a colored speaker, and wellknown in this State throuch his participation in "the campaign of ISSi. recently wrote from Dowsgiac, Mich., to J. S. Hinton, regarding the proposed organization of a new party of colored sen. After, cougratulatinr Mr. Hinton on the lomlnation of General Harrison, he continued: UI see the colored Clevelandites are going to sold a pow-wow in your city on the 23th inst. Tber are colored politicians who are Democrats !or revenne only. I have a pitying contempt for sneh men o! our race who are willing, for svlfith peed, to still be held in vassalage, and still jeopardize the eivil liberty of our seven or eight million teop'.e in the Southern States by snpportiug a party that was responsible for the continuance of Africa slavery on this continent. Failing to keep our people m bondage, the Demncrat are using evry effort to disqualify them by robbing teem of every manly trait.' In Flrst-Class Condition. T. H. B. MeKane, editor of the Crawfordsrille Journal, reports the Harrison and Morton itrength as Increasing every day. Old Republicans, who for rears have been cold oa the subject of politic?, exhibit rreat enthusiasm. Krirybody is pleased with the nominations. While the idea of State pride Igures to unrne extent, everybody, including many of Cleveland's followers, join in savin? that General flarri'fln as a man shown A record a unsullied as any that America could present, and as a statesman nnne is bettsr able to eontrol th affairs of thi go-eminent. The laboring elaseg will vote for him. for they comprehend the falsity of the charges made a?alsst him on that seore. Tn fact, the Republican party in Montgomery county is in first-class toxdttion. A Campaign Wagon. To-night, at 7 o'clock, the Tirpscsnoe leer tabin, an artistie campaign wagon, which will m in all parades and demonstration, will be I riven to the General's residence. It is a new leparture In campaign celebration, and is the work of Jn H. Warren, of this city, and R. H. Smith, of Hauf.hville The body of the wagon istnthe form of a lor eMn, surrounded by vines and smilax. Is will ha drawn bar faur

horses. On its returning down town, the Brotherhood Band wwl give a serenade in front of the New Denison, at 8 o'clock.

Unique and Prophetic Henry F. Fleteher has taken the letters in Harrison and Morton and with them has formed a sentence reading "A nation is soon to honor Harrison, to honor Harrison is to honor a nation's Samson." It is unique and prophetic ALWAIS FOU TOE PEOPLE. Gsn. Ilarrfson's Record on the Public Land ; Laws While in the Senate. Portland Oregon Un. An examination of the senatorial record of Gen. Harrison shows thst in the discussion of the public land laws and the interstate-commerce bill, he was invariably on the side of the people. He said in the debate on the Texas Pacific railrosd land bill: 1 am not willing, for one, to make this land subject to disposal at the land offices of the United State, and to allow some man to purchase one hundred and sixty acres, aud then let the railroad company fight out this question with him. He is not an equal antagonist in such an encounter. I want some provision that will reinforce him in that contest with the power of the United States. it has been said there that suits in which the titles of the settlers were involved were eollusive suits; I do not know with what truth, but I do know that there is danger in these cases that these suits may be collusive between the railroad companies aud some humble settler who has but a smal tract of land to defend; and if there is in all these cases such a serious claim made by the railroad companies that the controversy must be settled in the courts, then I take it, it must be e lear that the United States should take the burden of that controversy upon itself, and should prosecute it promptly and vigorously to a determination. I do not like to pat the general government in the attitude of conveying a clouded title and leaving its grantee to fight it out at hia own expense, particularly when the government gives him a conveyance that has no warrant in it upon which he could reeoup damage, leaves him simply to the grace of Congress to recover the money he has paid into the Treasury of the United States. It seems to me a cruel thin? to do to declare these lands open to public entry, and to invite our people to go and settle upon them, and then to leave them to toalte their own title good if they can in a controversy with one of these powerful railroad companies, possibly to have it settled against them by the courts I hope not but possibly to have that result, and then to leave them in the distressed condition iu which we find our people in two or three other eases. Ia another debate Mr. Harrisoa said: In every case where a homesteader, a roan who goes to make his home upon the land of the United States upon a reasonable amennt of that land to make a farm and a home, even if he mistakes the law, even if his proceedings to acquire title under the land laws are inefficient and ineffective, so far as I am concerned I shall always be ready to support legislation to secure him . in that purchase or attempted purchase, and to resist the invasion of others upon the land; but I do hold that where men go to buy the pine l:.nds of the United States, or where men undeitake to buy vast quantities of the grazing lauds of the United States, men who ought to be advised as to what the laws are, men who have the means and time and the ability to know what the laws are, and purchase vast tracts of these lands, and then come t J the government to ask the government to confirm those invalid titles, for one I shall not be willing to do it, certainly not as against any man who waits to use any part of those lands as a home. Ia debate over the Spo'cane & Coenr d'Alene railroad bill, Mr. Harrison said: There is one wholesome provision upon this subject in the interest of shippers, which I think is found in the legislation of nearly all our States where consolidations are permitted, and that is an inhibition against the consolidation of parallel line. Here is a power granted that would euable this corporation to absorb every railroad that might be bu l: in the Territory, to buy up the stock and to get the control of any competing line which might be established in the Territory, even if it were parallel to the main line or some of its bra: ehes. In the debate upon the interstate-commerce bill, Mr. Harrison opposed the Reagan plan on the ground that it did not clothe a man with sufficient opportunity for prompt appeal and inexpensive redress against a powerful corporation, and, proceeding to the disous3ion of the general objects of the bill, he said: 'What is it that the people complain of? What is the just grievance at the bottom or this great popular clamor against the railroad companies! I think, as both these bills admit, just two things. First, extortion, the charging, especially for local freight, of unreasonable rates, thus unduly burdening the local traffic for the maintenance of the railways; and secondly and chiefly, discrimination between shippers of toe same class. Air. President, I do not stop to prove the existence of these evils. They are confessed of all fair men. I do not stop to prove, for proof is not needed, that the railroad companies by these discriminations between indiyidaalsland between localities, and by the unrestrained exercise of the power to establish rates, have ssautned and do now exercise a most dangerous and unwarranted control over the commerce of this country. A few years ao I was iu the Territory of Montana, and while there became aware of an incident iu connection with railway management that illustrates the arbitrary character of the control which has be?n exercised by some of our great railway corporations. The Union Pacifio railroad, extending from Omaha, In Nebraska, to Ogden, in Utah, was also the owner of the Utah 3c Northern railway, a narrow-gauge road extending ffom Ogden northward through Idaho and into Montana. A circular was issued from the office of the Union Pacific Railway Company establishing a rate equal to three times the ordinary firstclass rate on all canned goods, rice, green coffees and that class of goods that came .to Ogden from JSan, Francisco over the Central Pacifio and then asked transportation over the Utah 3t Northern road into Idaho and Montana. The railroad comrany openly defended this policy. They said to the merchants of that Rreat legion of country: 'You should buy your canned Roods, your rice in the East, in order that we may have the long haul over the Union Pacific railroad instead of giving the Central Pacific, our rival, the haul to Ogden, and to us only a short haul over the Utah Sc Northern. They endeavored to placate the opposition which this erder created by the suggestion that they would give the merchants on the line of the Utah & Northern road some favored rate from Omaha in order to induce them to buy their goods East instead of West. This was, in effect, saying to that entire community: 'You shall not deal wheie you may deal to the best advantage; you snail not select your own market. East or West, as may please you; we take eontrol of that matter, and we say to every merchant of Montana who deals In rice or canned goods: 'You shall not buy them in San i'ranclico, bat in Omaha or Chicago. I give thi3 as a specimen, Mr. Present, of the business discrimination and tyranny which some of thesa railroads have exercised. I am glad that we have come to a time in this discussion when no one in the Seaate denies that the power of Congress over this question of inter-State commerce by reHway is a ample as over that by ?a. It my be. t) tsro Seutor from Kentucky said, that some attorney of a ia!way company in the committee room may yet main tain the doctrine that Congress has no power over this subject, but in tbe discussion here no one has expressed the smiiiest doubt of the right of Congress to control and regulate, by wie provisions of law, these great channels o! inter-Stste commrrce. It is dear from tuese extracts that General Harrison was on the side of the people against the great corporations in the matter of publia lands, and all legislation where the rights of the people against tbe railroads wore involved. General Harrison is not a millionaire lawyer though, no aoubt, he might have been, had ha been willing to be the attorney of powerful 'corporations in or out of the Senate. Farmers and Frotectlon. Omaha Kepublican. The farmer's chief Interest in protection is that it saves him the cost of shipping his goods over long lines of railraod, giving him a market near his own door. Every farmer understands this fact: The nearer the producer and tho consumer can be brought together the less is paid for transportation and the less opportunity the middleman has to eat up the profits; and it is a fact that all cost of transportation and profits of the handlers of grain and prodace come out of the farmer's pockets. Another fact: Uv building up manufactures, protection gives employment, and keeps many oat of agriculture who would otherwise be compelled to go into it There axe farmers enough to supplv the population if they are properly protected, but destroy onr manufactures and a good many thousands who are now employed in the trades would become farmers, glutting the markets and reducing profits. . There is no class of the population more benefited by protection of manufactures than the farmer. Spooner Will Come To Indiana. Washington Special. Senator Spooner is talked of as one of the leading; speakers for the Republican party- in Indiana. ''Voti see," says Congresiman Tom Browne, "Spooner was a soldier. He is still a soldier. Ha believes that tbe war was not a failure. He believes that the South should accept tbe results of the war. One of t'.iose results was that the negroes shall vote, and have their votes counted as cast Senator Spooner has said that until tht result of the war Is accepted the work of the Union soldiers is nullified and rendered nugatory. Tne war was not fought for the purpose of freeing the slaves; but, their freedom and enfranchisement were among the results of the war. Spooner wanted a soldier to head the Republican ticket. Gen. Harrison was a soldier, and, like Spooner, be is still a soldier in his demand that the results of the' war shall be accepted by the South. Spooner will take soecial pride in speaking for Harrison. He is a splendid orator anyway. When especially interested he can atirthe multitude. There are thousands of soldiers In Indiana to-day, and they are as loyal as when they shouldered their muskets. There were Indiana soldiers in the fame eorps and division with SpSoner. They would be glad to hear him, and to vote with him; veto as they shot, against a solid South.

Ton may safely say that If Indiana Republicans ean have their way, Spooner will not be allowed time to deliver a single speech tn Wisconsin, where he is not needed. Wisconsin is safe for 25,000 Republican majority. She can spare Spooner, and we intend to pre-empt him and hold him daring the campaign." Gen. Tom Browne was a soldier, too. '

TAKIFF IDEAS. Free-Trade Recollections. Ex-Commissioner of Charities Hon. Joseph Reeve, one of the oldest citizens of Brooklyn, speaking of the operation of free trade in his eity, fifty years ago, says: "The prosperity of Brooklyn to-day is in marked contrast to her condition in 1833, when we had soap kitchens to keep people from stsrving. There was snch an amount of distress among the laboring classes that a number of citizens came together and established these places. These were roueh board buildings in which good soap was prepared in very large kettles and distributed free to the people, who came for it with pails, pitchers, or other vessels. Were there many poor) you ask. There were enough 10 that these soup-houses were continued for a year. People came by hundreds. The city was not large in population then, either. An old eopy of the Long Island Star shows that public soup-houses for the relief of the workine people were established in this eity on Jan. 11, 183& In the same paper the report of the treasurer of the citizens' committee, appointed to raipe foods to prevent the poor from starving, shows the number of persons helped at the soup-houses and in other ways. The report shows that 1,034 families were helped during the first week alter tbe establishment of the soup-houses. From these facts some idea may be gained of the widespread misery and degradation brought on the industrial masses by the enforcement of the Democratic policy of free trade under President Van Bcren." What Democracy Means. Grsad Bapids Ejgle. Democracy means free trade. This ia the understanding of the English press, and it is well informed in the matter. The party, which in 1856 and 1800 under Southern leadership, declared for "progressive free trade throughout the world," demanded in 187G and 18S0 "a tariff for "revenue only." The Southern oliearchy, which in tbe confederate constitution prohibited any form of tarilf protection for home industries, is in the saddle once more, ruline the eountry, and "raidlnE" American manufactures in the interest of free trade. Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, spoke for his party when he declared, in response to Mr. McComa's challenge, that no Democrat uttered and no Democrat could utter a word in favor of the protective tariff system, which discriminates in favor of the home producer and laborer. Democracy means free trade this and nothing les3. The Democratic Allies. Every free-trader in the eountry is row shouting for Cleveland and tariff reduction. Henry George, who wants to abolish all customs duties; Frank Hnrd, the radical free-trader, who was defeated for re-election to Congress for his freetrade principles; Horizontal Morrison, who was also retired for the same reason; Parsee Merchant Moore, who drew up the Mills bill; every foreign importer of New York and Boston; every British manufacturer and public man: every Canadian who wants open American markets all are on the side of Cleveland and the Democratic party in this election. The Aim of tbe Tariff. Nebraska Slate Journal. That country which has the most diversified industries is the most fortunate. The ideal condition is when there are just enough engaeed in agriculture to supply the demands of the mining, manufacturing and commercial classes, and just enough manufacturers' to supply the demands of tbe other classes. That is, when there is an exact equilibrium of industries. It should be the aim of each country to so foster its industries that this equilibrium is at least approached. It is not best for a country to be all agricultural or all manufacturing. The aim of a protective tariff is to produce and maintain this diversity of industry. Oar wonderfully extensive manufacturers are the result of this policy followed almost continuously since Warjimgtons administration. The Democratic Platform. FULLY UP TO THE WATTERSON STANDARD. Interview with Henry AVa .terson in the New York Mar, July 7. 1SS3, copied in the Louisville CourierJournal. Julj 8. Tarilf reduction of "the Henry Watterson kind' is the tariff redaction of the St Louis plat ,x form and none other. It may ba that I have been more earnest and insistent in tho matter of urgency; but nowhere and at no time have I exceeded the demands made by the St. Louis platform, which I not only voted for in committee, and reported to the convention, but which is the exact reproduction of my own view delivered over and over again. JUST WHAT THE WATTERSON STANDARD 13. Hnry Watterson In the houisville Courier-Journal, March 31. ISS2. The Democratic part-, except in the persons of imbeciles hardly worth mentioning, is not on the fence. It is a free-trade party or it is nothing. Eenry Watteronin the Courier-Journal, March 2J, The Democrat who is not a free-trader should go elsewhere. He should join the Republicans. The Democratic party will make a free-trade fight in 1834. If it loses it will make another in 1SS3. The conflict between free trade and protection is irrepressible, and mnst be fought out to the bitter end.

HINTS OF ANOTHER STEIKE

Railroad Men Said to Be Growing Kestire Orer the Arrests at Chicago. A Conference Between Chiefs Arthur and Sargent and the Burlington Officials Developments in the Conspiracy Cases. Chicago, July 16. A conference was held this af ternoou at the office of tbe Chicago, Burlington & Qaincy railroad, at which the road was represented by President Perkins, Vicepresident Beasely, General Manager Stone, Wirt Dexter and J. W. Blythe. The other cide was represented by Chief P. M, Arthur, of ihe locomotive engineers. Chief F. P. Sargent, of the firemen, and Mr. Alexander Sullivan, their counsel. The arrival of Messrs. Arthur and Sargent in Chicago bad been kept a well-guarded secret, and neither registered at any hotel until the conference was over. Hoge and Murphy were also present. The officials of the two Brotherhoods at onee assured the railroad men that they had no sympathy with dynamiter?, nor lawlessness ia any form. The f entire interview was courteous and cordial throughout, and naturally led to a general talk concerning the strike and the situation as it affected the public and the parties to the struggle. All agreed that it would be well If the strike could be ended. President Perkins, when seen, said: "Yes, there has been a conference. Mr. Arthur, Mr. Sargent and Mr. Alexander Sullivan, their counsel, came to say that they did not countenance violence and have no sympathy with dynamiters. Messrs. Iloge and Murphy were present at a portion of the conference. We tad much talk over the situation, and all argned that the strike ought to be declared off. Nothing was definitely settled, however, although it is . honed that some good may come of it." It was impossible to find either Mr. Arthur or Mr. Sargent to-night, and the reporter for the Associated Press celled on chairman Hogs. Touching the meeting Mr. Hoee said: ''Propositions were submitted by both sides to the controversy looking toward a settlement of th6 strike. What these propositions were I am not at liberty to state. They have not taken a tangible form, and they will not until another conference is held, which will be in a few days." Mr. Hoge then showed tbe reporter a teleeram .which was sent from Davenport, Ia., to W. P. Gould, and which read as follows: "Owing to certain events, the men at this point decide that we had better adopt extreme measures." "This is only one out of many telegrams of a similar nature," said the chairman, "which have reached here to-day. This one is addressed to Chairman Gould, of tbe Rock Island grievance committee, and it shows which way the wind is blowine." He then went on to say that a eeneral meet ing of tbe chairmen of tbe grievance committees of nearly every line running out of Chicago would be held here this week. Taere would be thirty of these chairmen, and they will represent the Brotherhood on their respective sys- - terns. "What will be the object of .the meetlner asked the reporter "Action will be taken to resent the wholesale arrests and persecutions which have occurred in Chicago during the past ten days. Those are the certain events referred to in the dispatch I have just shown you." "What does the writer of the dispatch mean when he speaks of 'extreme measures?' " was then asked. "That remains to be seen. It may mean a strike on the roads represented, or it may mean a boycott on the 'Q,' which would eventually terminate in a strike. Tbe meeting will decido that question." "Do you think there will be a strike?' "Well, the men on the Grand Trunk, the Rock Island, and the Northwestern, among others, are very sore over these arrests, and they will certainly speak in no uncertain tones when the time comes. They do not believe in dynamite; neither do tlley believe in persecutions." 'Will this mefttine have the newer to declare a slrite without tbe Banction of Chief Arthurr "Yeo, sir, and they will do so if necessary. Tne support of Mr. Arthur is only for its moral and financial effect. If any of tbe systems conclude to strike, and Mr. Arthur refuses to sanction the move, we receive no support from the Brotherhood. But at the same time the chairman of any system can declare a strike on that system, provided those of the Brotherhood employed there desire it" In a later interview. Chairman Hoge is said to have stated that satisfactory arrangements had been made, by which the "Qn road is not to bo subjected to any further molestation growing out of the strike, which was to be declared off, and that the road, in turn, would cease its prosecution of those arrested for complicity in the dynamite conspiracy. The Conspiracy Cases. Chicago, July 16. The sensational developments in the trial of the "Q'' dynamiters and the hope of more startling disclosures brought a large crowd to-day to Judge Gresbam's courtroom, where Commissioner Hoyne is bearing evidence. If the defendants are convicted of car ryinz and dealing in explosives, which is only punishable by a fine, they can schedule out under the poor debtor act. The United States officials, it is said, have decided, in view of this fact, to bring a charge of conspiracy, a crime which can be punished by two yeara imprisonment in tbe penitentiary or a fine of $10,000, or both. This charge, it was Intimated, might he brought to-day. Bowles, sinee confessing, has been kept in the United States marshal's office and allowed to sleep (instead of on a plank) upon Commissioner Iloyne's lounge, which . was bronpht in for that purpose. Two pleasant looking women were brought into tbe crowded court-room and given seats behind the desk. One of them was said to be the women to whom Bowre?, though a married man, made love while on his dynamite expedition iu Indiana, and whose presence in court, brought about by the prosecution, had, more than anything else, induced Bowles to confess in order to head off a suit for divorce. Ales Smith, the Aurora Brotherhood fireman who turned informer, was tbe first witness called. He was interrupted at the very outset by lawyer David, for the defense, moving that all evidence concerning informer Bowles be stricken out, on the ground that he was not now under investigation. David also asked to have the testimony of informer Kelly and witness Lloyd nullified, beotuse they mentioned none of the defendants, and Bowles's and their evidence was therefor incompetent. District Attorney Ewing contended that it would be shown that the dynamite was purchased and delivered by some, at least, of the defendants. The court let it stand, and then Smith was taken off the box. and J. J. Keller, Chairman Hogs's clerk, recalled to admit that his name was Charles Cordell in a flirtation with two ladies in Chicago, in 1SS1. The name, the witness claimed, was taken by him purely in fun. Considerable badgering by lawyers for the Brotherhood followed. Informer Smith was then started again, when Lawyer Donohue, for the prisoners, interrupted him with an instruction that he need not answer if he would criminate himself thereby, and that he need not testify cnless he so desired. Tbr court confirmed these instructions, and then Smith proceeded, unhesitatingly confirming the outline of the case so startlingly stated the first day of the trial by District Attorney Ewing for the prosecution.. Smith was retired before the beginning of tbe afternoon session, after having been subjected to a cross-examination of great length by defendants' counsel They failed of their purpose to get him to contradict himself, but did establish the fact that be knew nothing about the dynamite found on the train when Broderick. Bowles and Wilson were arrested. There was close attention paid to Smith's statement, when Mr. David began to lead up to the question of Smith's sanity. Smith bears a scar about four inches long on the left side of his head. Tho examination developed that the star was caused by bis being caught between two cars; that he was nneonseious for a long time, and was unable to do anything for eight month, and that his head had bothered him considerably ever since. At the afternoon session Smith was recalled, and testified that he had not, yesterday or any other time, told his brother that he was an inno cent man. He aiao denied that he had received money from the prosecution or any one else to testify in this case. Then, by request of Mr. Ewing, who was tired out, the trial was postponed until to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Spelling Iteform. Uostoa AJttrtifcer. To change tbe spelling of a language used by more than 100.000,000 of people is an undertaking for describing which herculean" aeems a very weak adjective.

The exposition opens May 5, and closes Oct. 31, 1633. Of Special SigulCcance. Boston Transcript. Most of the defections from the Democracy thus far chronicled this campaign have been because of its tariff policy. Mr. Foulke's ground for opposition gives his change special significance. He it was who stirred up the civil-service reformers of Indiana to make their protest against Aquilla Jones's management of the Indianapolis postoffice. Mr. Fonlke's protest was all in vain, and Jones holds the postoffice. TO FEED THOUSANDS Who Will Visit Our City During tho Campaign and State Fair.
