a Harrison and Morton streamer, trill be raised at Granger Hall, five milea from tbis place, la Oranze county, to-morrow, by twentyeizfrt dissatisfied Democrats. Erery effort has been made by the bosses to whip or coax the recalcitrant voters into line, bat most of them being among Oraoge county substantial men, the arts of the flatterer ara as fntile as those of the bnlldozer, aod tha "bastard" pole, as it is styled, is likely to remain a, thorn in the Democratio side till after the Cth of November.

Ilesnlt of First Totes. Special to the Indianaoolls Journal Peru Sept. 1. The Question of treat gain in the Republican party this November amongst the first voters cf the old soldiers is aptly illustrated in Deer Creek township, this county, which shows thirty-one voters, and out of which twenty-four will be cast for Harrison. A like result will ba obtained elsewhere. Political Scrap. The largest crowd ever assembled in Litchfield, 11L. at a political meeting, was in attendance on Thursday to listen to Private Joe Fifer. Rev. J. M. Green, of Centralia, addressed the Mt Carmel, IlL. Republican club last night in an eloquent appeal to voters, thoroughly exposing the past and present reeord of the Democratic party. His eloquent tribute to General Harrison aj the soldiers' friend will make many votes. The Republicans of Champaign' and Urbsns, IlL, bad a liTely rally at the latter place last night, with an address by Hon. Frank Wright. The procession contained several hundred torches and torch umbrellas. Miss Nellie MeLean presented a beautiful banner to the Republican club from the Urbaca ladies. The Republican cabin at Westfleld was dedicated on Thursday night. The building could cot hold more than half the crowd. General Coburn-made a powerful and pointed spsecn. An original poem suitable to the occasion was read, many eampaien songs were finely 6ung, and the erowd was wild with enthusiasm. Quite a number came over from Xobleaville, and many from the surrounding country. The Rushville Graphic will to-day publish a letter written by Mr. Charles Mahin. a brother of the present chairman of the Ruth county Democratic central committee, and who, all his life, has been a Democrat, firing reasons why he has determined to leave the party of his first ehoice and come out for the candidates chosen ; by the Republican party. 31 r. Mahin has been ' aetive as a Democrat, and with bis change of mind is able to wield an influence beyond his own vote. THE FIRE RECORD. Thirty Itaildlngs Burned at Washburn, "Wis.

Chjcao, Sept 14. Judge Gary to-day rendered a decision in the case of George W. Damend, of Earlville, IlL, against the Merchant' National Bans:, cf Cnicaeo, and the Union Stockyards National bank. This is the case which, on acconnt cf the principles involved, has evoked much interest among bankers and commission men. Dumond's commission men at the stockyards deposited with the Union Stockyards Bank $1,200 belonging to Dumond, with directions to have it placed in the Merchants' National Bank to the credit of the Exchange Bank, of Earlville, for the use of Dumond. The Union Stockyards Bank failed to state that it was for the use of Dumond, and the Merchants' Bank, supposing that it belonged to the Earlville Bank, applied the money on an indebtedness of the Earlville Bank to it. Judge Gary held that the Union Stockyards Bank, and not ts MaMhtnta' 'Runt wu liAhlA for tha manir. It was instructed to place it to the eredit of tha Earlville Hans: tor toe use or uumona. it railed to do this, and accordingly was solely responsible. The bank appealed. Steamship Mews.

JACKSONVILLE'S EPIDEMIC

Largest and Saddest Record YetMadeby the Terrible Southern Pestilence. Twelve Deaths and Forty-Three Xe7 Case3, Two Prominent Men Being Among the Former Journey of Jacksonville Refugees. Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 14. This has been the saddest day yet in the history of Jacksonville's fever epidemic. The general gloom is made intense by the grief at the loss of several of the very best citizens. Two of the noblest of Florida's native citizens fell to-day Louis L Fleming, whose son and namesakewas laid to rest only three days ago, and Hon. Henry A. Lenle, cashier of the Bank of the State of Florida, ex-Treasurer of State, and lately the heroio and indefatigable chairman of the committee on sanitation of the Citizens' Association. No man stood higher in Florida as a man and a lawyer than Louis L Fleming. He was elder brother of the Demooratio candidate for Governor, and a ; grandson of Gen. Lewis Fatio. His influence a a lawyer was great, owing to his ability and the fact that he would never argue a case that he did not conscientiously believe to be just and proper. Hon. H. A. Lenle was one of the most active and publiospirited citizens, a near relative of Mr. Fleming, a man devoted to principle, and of sterile; integrity. Both died of yellow fever nea' the same hour. Frank W. Ely, a prominent insurance agent, was also one of to day's victims. He was not generally known to be dangerously ill. The fatal list contains the names of Mrs. (i W. Herriek, whose husband died ten years ago the third death in the house; Harry L. Robinson, Mrs, C. II. Weimouth. Ezra Giay, Mr. Chalmao, an infant or J. W. Wallace, Lulu E. Coleman, Benjamin Borwell. and Mrs. Patrick Kelly. The number of new cases to day was 43; deaths, 12 the largest record of mortality yet Total cases reported to date, 830; total deaths, 11G. Tne weather is still wet and unpromising, and the earth soaked with water. Several physicians and nurses from other cities, New Orleans, Mobile and Savannah, arrived to-day. A special train was sent to MeClenny this afternoon with physicians, nurses and supplies. About sixty five eases have been reported at MeClenny, and ten or twelve deaths. The place is almost depopulated, cot more than 240 people remaining. The local physicians are all sick. The Citizens' Association to-day resolved to pay for the erection of a hospital, to be maintained by the Knights Templars. Dr. Mallett eminent commander, and projector of the hospital in behalf of the order, was stricken with fever to day, but will probably recover. Dr. Weilar, of St John's Church, is still ill from overwork. He is an epidemic veteran from Vicksburg. Camp Mitchell is being racidly built and equipped. A large order for hospital, camp, and general supplies was telegraphed to New York tolay. A Train-Load of Refugees. Charlotte, N. C, Sept 14. After many weary delays along the route the train-load of Florida refugees arrived at this city yesterday and left after a short stay, for Hendersonville, N. G which is the destination of the fugitives. The train was made up in Jacksonville, acd consisted of ten coaches. Packed in these conveyances were between 400 and 000 grown persons and perhaps 100 children. On the train were a number of colored passengers of all ages. The scenes en route beggar description. News of the train had gone before it acd at every little country station crowds of people were gathered to view its approach. Occasionally the refugees would wait nntil tby came to one of these stations, and as the cars stopped every window along the entire line of the train would be thrown open and in an instant each window would be filled by the head acd shoulders of a refogee, looking scornfully at the scared country people, for the moment the Flcridana' heads were pushed through the car-windows the crowds would flee like sheep. This maneuver was tried several times, and in each instance the gatherings flew with all the speed that their legs could command, and seemed as much frightened as if the pestilence were already among them. The first bah of any consequence was made at Atlanta, Ga. As the train slowed up. the heads of men and women, blackened with coal-dust and gaunt, hungry-looking faces, with, blood shot eyes, red for wautof sleep, were shoved through the open windows, and the cry went up from one end of the train to the other, "Give us food and water. Tne door of Durand a restaurant was propped open, and all the waiters and plenty of volunteers carried sandwiches, cofTae and water to the thirsty, hungry refugees. Fully 5,000 persons took a look at the train. Dr. W. S. Armstrong, president of the Board of Health: Dr. J. B. Baird, secretary of the Board of Health, and Dr. Criehtoo, one of the yel low-fever inspectors, were at the depot The Chief of police, with a squad of patrol men, was present acd under instructions from Doctors Baird and Armstrong had each coach guarded so that no person eould get either on or off. This was done to carry out the instructions of Surgeon-general Hamilton. On the arrival of the train here, persons who hsd friends or relatives on it were allowed to speak, and all along the line of coaches, on both sides, there was mueh handshaking and happy greeting until the train pulled out. Dr. John Guiteras, who is connected with the Marine Hospital service. was in charge of the train. He wasasiced. what will the refugees do when they get to Hendersonviller He replied: "God only knows! They have been invited there, and I don't know what the people of Hendersonville will do with them. Few of them have any money, and many will be objects of charity." Dr. Guiteras said there were three cases of yellow fever in the train, and one other case which was suspi cious. All or tnem were taxen sick immediately after the train left Jacksonville. The Treatment of Professor Proctor. New York, Sept 11 The Board of Health held a protraeted session to-day with closed doors. It is well understood that there was a long discussion concerning the treatment medical and hygienic, of the late Prof. Richard A. Proctor. It has reached the ears of President Baylesthat certain physicians have criticised the action of the board in this esse. He was removed from the hotel in a drenching rain. He had already been two days and a half in the ho tel suffering from the disease. All the mischief had been done, if any. so far as the other guests were concerned, and it would have made matters no worse by leaving him there until the storm was over. Cold or dampness is said to quickly terminate the life of a patient so afflicted. In view of this comment the board has sent out this letter to the public: The Board of Health does not feel called upon to discuss the matter of Professor Proctor's death or sickness, or the management of the case, with anyone having no oSicial responsibility in the matter. The total amount to-day received by Mayor Hewitt for the Jacksonville sufferers was tl,20L2o, making a grand total of 2'J,201.10. Indiana Masons Asked to Send Aid. Louisville, Ky., Sept 11 Grand Master Isaac P. Leyden, of New Albany, Ind., yester day, issued a circular to all the Masonic lodges of Indiana, calling on the order, coileotively as lodges, or individuals, to respond to the eall for assistance by the sufferers from yellow fever in Florida. The Grand Master asks that contributions be sent as soon as possible to Grand Secretary W. H. Smythe, Indianapolis, Ind. Obituary. Grand Rapids, Mich., Sept 14. Word is received here by cable that Bishop David D. Patterson, head of the religious sect known as the Children of Zion, and founder and pastor of the church in this city, died in southern France, early yesterday morning, while en route from Palestine to Glasgow. The church called Bishop Patterson the "Lye of Kehovan," and one of the sect's strong beliefs was that he would never die. He leaves a widow and four children in this city. Stockton, CaL. Sept. 11 Hon. John E. Edwards, who came to California in 1853, died last evening, aged eighty-four. He was Governor of Missouri from 1844 to 1848. Thursday's Frost Chicago, Sept 14. Dispatches to-day from Mason City la.; Champaign, IlL, and Elkhart Ind., say the heavy frost of the past two nights has seriously damaged corn. It is estimated at Mason City that the reduction in the crop as a result of the damage, will amount to twelve bushels an acre. A Sick Mao Cuts His Throat. Canton, O.. Sept. 14. A horrible suicide occurred to-day at Win field, a small town in Tuscarawas county, just over the Stark county line. Richard Jones, a married man, was sick with typhoid fever. He asked to see his children, but his wife would not allow them to go near tfeei father. Jenes then asked his mother to

give him a k niie, when he deliberately eut his throat in the presence of his wife and mother. He lived only an hour after committing the deed.

HENRY AVATTERSON. The Kentncky Editor Discusses the Tarty Platforms Before a New York Audience. New York, Sept. 11 A mass-meeting was held to-night under the auspices of the Young Men's Democratic Club, at Cooper Union, with an overflow n eeting outside. CoL Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, was to speak on the "Two Platforms," and he was well received. . Lyttleton G. Garrettson openod the meeting, and introduced Colonel Watterson, who said: "Fellow Democrats and fellow-citizen i Next after being taxed to death, the most distressful and lingering fate which can befall a people is to be talked to death. Laughter. If you were not the most enduring and amiable people on the face of the globe, you might be excusod for getting a new party, hieh won'd do neither. But in tbis country the thing we call politics is not usually a first choice; it is what we call in Kentucky, getting a place. Laughter. I do not think that in the Mills, ' bill the country is getting anything like what it ought to have applause in the reduction of revenue and war taxes. The Mills bill embraces concessions to what I believe to be the unjust demands of certain class interests which, as an original proposition, I nover could; consent to. There are objections to it from a free-trade stand-point, but what a proectionist can find to be the matter with it I amtuoable to do3oe. I am going to try to-night to put the' platforms of the two parties on the stand and .let them say how they stand on the great question. The present tariff is a pence . tariff on a war footing. The Republicans net only failed to decrease them, but actually did Increase them. I have a little experience in platform making, hut if I had niade this platform of my friend McKinley, I would not bo here to-night. It is fnnoy in its errors, in its blindness, in its very falsehoods. This platform says the Republican party favors the redaction of letter postage to one cent, but a year before this comic almanac laughter I mean this platform was written. Senator Beck Introduced a bill to this effect and the Republican majority in the Senate sent it to the committee on postodices and postroads, and Senator Bock has not been able to resurrect it Perhaps he will havo better luck after the cows come home in November." Tho Chines plank amused Mr. Watterson, and he ejaculated, "Why, Harrison Ilissec was China's owe tbo oest and truest, and almost the only friend o? Chinese cheap labor." Referring to tbo fiaher.es trouble, Mr. Wattcrod said, "President CI t eland " cheers has takon the British liou by the tail and snatched him bald-headed. Great laughter. "Let us corao to the i.sue of the campaign," continued Mr. Wattersoo. They say they are unqualifiedly in favor of tie American system of protection. Why, this system is no more an American system tbau Russian. German or r rench. for protection exists in all those countries. We have had high tariff, low tariff, war tail!? and peace tariff, and we have had good times and bad times under all of them. There were never sueh bad times aa the panic of 1873, after we had had this American tariff ten years. This platform denounces the MiIIh bill as hostile to the manufacturiug interests of this country. 1; goes oat of its way on tbo wool question. I propose to make a test case of this, and break down tbis platform, whose right wing rests on Mr. Blaine, its left on free whiiky, and the center having no supnort unless it bo Mr. Foster. 1 cannot see why the woolen manufacturer objects. The -Mills bill proposes to give him free wool and protection, and yet he calls it a free-trade measure, aod says it will rnin his business. Wby don't we bear from the raisers of sheep? Tbey don't hold mass-meetings to protest, and it is because the farmer found put long ago that the tariff took away at one end what he made at the other. This platform proposes a seheme in lieu of the Mills bilL aod that is to abolish the tobacco tax. Well, the Mills bill does that, but they give a strscge reason. They say it is an annoyance and imposition upon agriculture. How about the tax on plows, barbedwire fence and everything the farmer cses! Then they will reduce, the taxoc distilled spirits used in the arts. Laughter. If this be not enough, if there be still remaining a surplus, they propose the repeal of the iuternal taxes. That means free whisky and dear blankets, free whisky and dear everything els. If I were a rank free-trr.der I would jump at this plank of Mr. McKinlev's, but it tecause I am not a free-trader, because I am a conservative man who lovca bis oatiy and all the Interest of all p&rta of it spptAutei tbat I reject it and take the Mills bill, defective as it is, because it takes one step downward from the mountain of high taxes and takes tbat step with exceeding caution, f Applause The Democratio platform cannot be worse; it is a great deal better. It is based on the Declaration of Independence, whieh was a protest against unjust taxation and an appeal to the people from corporations, combinations acd trusts. The Democratio party meets these quack doctors with the' simplest and- plainest statements of faets. They are fond of dilating upon the President's lack of beauty. 1 admit that he may not be altogether lovely, but be is one among ten thousand, for he is doing the part of a brave and honest man in taking eare of the people's money and business, and makes up in honesty, industry and integrity what he Iseks of those characteristics which better suit the courtier than the President of the United States. (Voices, "How about bis wife?") "His wife has onough for both," replied the speaker. "Republicans take the workman upon a high mountain and offer blm the earth, whieh don't belong to them IauchterJ. We say to him, 'you will get work only wfcen there is work to do; we do not proraiso you richesnobody can do that: bnt we do promise you to cheapen the necessaries of life and to lighten your burden for you.' The lines ara drawn, and tho fight is on in earnest. ' The Republican party is a wo!f in sheep's clothing. All its pledges which it bad not previously discredited. it cow disowns. It has asrailed every labor interest in the country throurh the antecedents of the head of its ticket, and in his Kno-nothiug record he is an insult to every f oreige born and every Catholic citizen. Its candidate for Vicepresident is not nominated fov the friends or, enemies he has made, but for the money can . raise. There is not a money-making ring which will not subscribe to his campaign fund. We have nothing to rest upon excepting tbo brave and true hearts of the people; but they are ecQ cient" Th Outlook In Indiana. Special to'the Uoston Journal. Lucius B. Swift, secretary cf the Indiana Civil-service Reform Association, . who is here, says of the Republican outlook in his , State; "Harrison is undoubtedly master of the situation. He will gain largely from the Prohibition' ranks, for he is himself a temperate man. 'The Democrats, however, will lose many of toeir late followers to the Prohibition party. On the question of protection Harrison will also gain. When you talk to a farmer of f reo wool he, always wants to know wby, if wool must ce free, sugar should continue to bo taxnd. The soldiers are rallying to Harrison, for they recognize the fact that he was a brave xnaa.whm brave men were needed, a - skillful officer and a popular leader. The only attempt that has been mide to damage his candidacy by the Democrats was the publication, far and wide, of Gen. Harrison's alleged utterances with regard to the workingman's compensation and on the Chinete ques tion. These stories are so false in every respect that but few men have placed any confluence m them. Ibty caonot wear through the campaien. The Democrats, too. have auccwded in getting themselves on the wrong sidf of .the State issues. Their machine has supported the tally-sheet forcers all through, and Keprisentatire Bynum, ox-Senator McDonald and Senator Turpie did their best with tbe acministrHtion here to have the prosecutions stopped. , Other matters of local importance have been similarly treated by them, and they havo put thu.selves in a noie.

An Interesting Revelation Concerning the Third Party Candidate tor Vice-President. To the Editor of the Indianaoolis Journah Mr. John A. Brooks candidate fcr Vice-presi dent on the Prohibition ticket and his friends have been so earnest in the denial that he ever uttered the words he was said to have expreesed at Decatur, IlL, that some people who do not know Mr. Brooks may either doubt that he said them, or come to the charitable conclusion that they were a mere lapsus liogu.p, or the utter ances of one under undue excitement Three reputable men have sworn that Mr. Brooks, in his speech, said: . I have lived in the South and owned slaves there. I eympathized with the South, and craved for the suc cess of the Confederate cause, but my prajers werjs not answered. I have been a Democrat, but, thank God, I have never been a Kepublicau. 1 will never have that sin to answer for. It may seem strange to some of our Indiana friends who do not know Mr. Brooks that he should utter such words. By it he implies that it is a greater disgrace to be a Republican than to t e a rebel or a slaveboliier. uut, my menus, this is not all of the utterances of Mr. Brooks and his followers. Did von live in Missouri. and did you know the bitter hatred tbat the rebel Prohib tionist has for tbe KepuDiican party, you would understand why he should make such utterances. The strongest whisky Democratic naoers are publishine tbe speeches of John A. Brooks. A few weeks ago, in bis speech at Shelbyville. Mo., Mr. Brooks said, in the presence of Mr. Dobbins, of that place, in substance, as follows: 'That for every collar tbat the Prohibition party spent in New York and Indiana four years ago they intended this year to spend four; that for every Democrat that voted the rrohlbition ticket they expectea to get ten Republics i; votes." So much for his f . ? li. it. .l l - m . A intentions. oat aid vney uo ioar years sicu m Missouri! Even Mrs. Hofftn an boasted to Rev. J. 31. Green, after the defeat of Mr. Blaine, that thev had defeated the Republican party, and were delighted at the election of Cleveland. After the election four years ago Democrats met in saloons to celebrate the vietory and Prohibi tionists in their hails for the same purpose. A leading Democratic paper says: "How can Harnsion carry rsew lork with 100.000 rromnitioniits voting against him?" But Mr. Brooks says that he wia a rebel, and prayed for tbe confederate cause. Is he one yeti Here Is what a gentlemau in Kansas City says that be beard him say about six or seven years ago: About six or seven rears airo. I heard bim eayatSadlia, that be fought tnronh the late war on the Confederate side, that when the war was over be xouna himself at St. Joseph, ilo., and, gointr to the river side, he raw Kansas for the first time. Ob. how he hated Kanuss (end be can hat). . ilo fairly cursed Ka.na. If Y. had to go beyond Kaaas, he would go norther south of it, and never set his foot on the accursed soil. Sitting there in tbe Jl. E. Church, I wondered what had poor, bleelinsf Kansas done to this great and good man. lie s on told us, Derause of tbo part the played tbat led to the war. Well, well. Lera wa a Christian preacher who bad been fighting to perpetuate human slavery, cursing a State for th part ehe took to abolish it. 1 then asked my self the question, cn this unrepentant rebel, who fought to uphold human slaver?, be sincere m bis roie of prohibition enotle, having for ita elm the eman cipation of slaves from the drink traCic! Hundreds of others asked the same question. Tnat be is only a Prohibitionist in name, and that he is only using tbe party for the election of Cleveland cannot be doubted. Only six or even years ago be said In a public temperance address in the church of Rev. T. A. Canada, at tbat time located at Savannah, Mo., but whose pstofSee is now Kirksville, Mo., and who is tbe presiding elder of the Kirksville circuit, Missouri M. E. Conference. In his church be said tbat he had been a confederate, that he believed that the South was right, and that it was his intention to train his children up in the same belief. This is in substance his language. ?tot two years ago he said in the office of Maj. S. O. Brock, of 31 aeon City, Macon county, Missouri, in a conversation, that it wa nothing more than right thst the Southern States should use the means that they used (killine a few negroes acassionally) in order to hold their political prestiga.In order to prove what he hadsaid he asked Major Brock if he would like to have niccers ruling bim. 5Ir. Brooks is not the only Prohibitionist whose words and acts were very strange. The confederate portion of the party four years ago arcued to persons if they could not support St John to be sure and vote for Mr. Cleveland. Democratic papers are tbe chief medium for tbe circulation of taeir speeches. The very Jetpers that we, as temperance men. have had to fight when we were oppoeiog license are now being used by the Prohibition ists as a medium for circulating their literature. If tbey are not in the employ of the De mocracy why are they working together! . I m . m. i rt e must rouciua to, -it inn rromomon pariv in the main is dishonest. There are a few good ptop!e in the party who have been blinded by the leaders and Democratic hireling; but in the main it is made up of disgruntled Republicans, and men who are in the employe of the Democratic party as switchmen to side-track Republican votes. The prohibition politician of to-day is the Hcssisn hireling and Tory of the Revolu tion, acting in the employ of the enemies of tbe stars and stripes. Temperance and prohibition represent one among the grandest and noblest principles of civilization, but in this instance the temperance banner has been soiled and made to serve the vilest ends. They are trying to ( 'steal the livery of heaven to serve tbe devil in." it has become very apparent to an unpre judiced mind that the Prohibition party is but an auxiliary to tbe Democracy. They go hand and glove together. The Prohibitionists re joiced with the Democracy over the election of urover Cleveland to lba4, and they will weep with them over hs . defeat in 1SSS. No sane man can be so blinded as to the interests and purpopes of a party, as to not understand it. when it says tbat all it can bone to do Is to re duce the Republican vte sufficiently to elect urover Cleveland, who is well known to be an enemy to the principles which they claim to advocate. The false idea is that tbey muet put their enemies in power that they . .i , r . -. . may aeieat iiiera lopic lncoxnprenensioie to a thinking man. The Bible says. Take no thought of the morrow. Sufficient unto the day is tbe evil thereof, and then the great principle of chosing between the least of two evils (if, as they say, tne uepublican party Is an evil,) would make every thinking Prohibitionist vote the Republican ticket, if he was honest in his deiire to bring about temperance reform. For every honest, sane man will admit that the Re publican party has always been a friend to prohibition, while the Democratic party has been its enemy. A man must be a fool to vote with a party ex pecting to bring about prohibition, when, by doing so, he is aiding and abetting a party that has always been an enemy to prohibition. If the Prohibitionists wero honest, wby do thev not throw some of their influence in Georgia, as well as New York and Indiana. Tbe time spoken of in the Bible of 'False prophets, who, if it were possible, will deceive the very elect," bas surely come. I would advise my Republican, temperance friends to beware of these false prophets. Tbey ara a cheat and a snara to deceive you into aiding the Demosracy in reA. !

Brooks, candidate for the vicepresidency on the Prohibition ticket, is the au thor of another sentence which deserves to be come eqally famous with his declaration in a recent speech that "I have been a rebel and a Democrat, but, thank God. I have never been a Republican; I will not have that sin to answer for." It was uttered to a gentleman, cow and for years a resident of this city, but who was tnen a memoer or r.ider Brooks s congregation at Flemingsburg, Ky. In the beginning of the war this gentleman was anxious to enlist in the service for his country, as he afterward did, and quite naturally consulted his pastor with whom be was personally very intimate iu regard to the step. He had no sooner expressed his wish and intention than this Christian (I) turned on him with: "YOU MIGI1T AS WELL GO TO HELL AT ONCE AND BE DONE WITH IT."
