1 THE INDIANAPOLIS JODRNAli, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 24, 1S8S.

AS Fublio Printer for himself. The position a Xorenianof tbe Kecord brought him ia contact 'with members cf Cocgross and Senators, and Ihe occasion was never missel by bim to let these people know be was tao commander of a company of boy in blur," an old soldier, and foreman of the Congressional Record. For a long time be worked on the quiet tor the position f Publio Frinter, but as soon as it waa made jvablie, and the then Publio Printor learned of Iiia subordinate's aspiration, and ingratitude to him, be discharged Lira immediately. Thi3 was in September, 1S7S. Upon being discharged he called some of his friends to his assistance, and urgsd upon them the importance of being made martyrs for him to aid bis eause in bis efforts to be made Publio Printer. Never were rea taken In worse than these were. Arsons them were William K. Ramsey. Albert Cottle and H. G. Ellis, all members of Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, having represented their union n the International Union. Ojster reoreented to tha that b bai suStient influence t cet the position, and urged vjpoa them the imrcrtance of. bein2 discharged on bis account, st it would help bis eauiie. Various plans were discussed as to what should be done, and it was finally settled tnat they rould geS discharged for bis benefit. It was Oyster who first introduced the idea, and it was liia cunning that worked the whole thine, for the-very next week 3Ir. Ellis was discharged and soon after ilr. Kamaey followed. Thesa jnaa were out of employment oyer nine months, "working as bard as they could for Oyster's success as Public Printer. Mr. Ellis went to Chicago, L'L, appeared before saTeral G. A R. ots, and procured sienatures for his appointment to that office, lie also got the indorsement of the Union Veteran Club, of that eity, for the position. Never did men work harder for another, never were men treated worse after the battle was oyer, and when this Ojster ladled to materialize. During tho fight money taraa con iri bated to Oyster and hie family for their support by men who could ill afford to parait, but who had faith in him at the time to fewlieve if he ever succeeded be would rtay them tothe uttermost farthing. When this money wa3 taken to his house, the greediness of the Oyster family wae shown by the manner it wna grasped taken without thanks, and disposed of to fill lop both the'young and the old Oyster, of which fthere waa a largennmber. Darin? this time he was a stalwart Republic iaa, but failing to receive the appointment of

Public Printer he all at once espoused the Uemocratie cause, dropped his love for the old aolier. which he had worked so lone, and took no with a new ism the laboriaeman, and the labor Question. A few weeks before the election in 334, finding that the Kenubiican party naa naa noucn of him and be had nothing further to expect from it he took the stump for Cleveland, eaking from various plaees in bis native state. e succeeded in harms himself elected presient of the Federation of Labor of tbe District f Columbia, which position he held until recently, havinr, as he says, resigned the same to stake part in the present political campaign. At . Vne time be aspired to Powderly's shoe, and actually set on foot a movement to bo elected as hls successor. But his following was trifling, nd he did not even have standing enough to be 'admitted as a delegate to tbe nationlei convention of the Federation at Baltimore. When Cleveland, in 1SSC, appointed Benedict Public Printer, Oyster again obtained a situation paying 61,600, which he holds to-day. Ilia Vlfeis a clerk in the General Land Omce.drawing tl.ICO a year. His son is employed in the National Observatory at $1,000 a year. His nephew is in the Government Printing Office at $1,000 a year. How many more of these bivalves Are sucking the public teat is not known, but they seem to be as voracious feeders under the Democratio administration as they formerly were under tbe Republican. This is a brief sketch of this laboring man who undertakes to take the stump and tell people that free trade is a blessing io the laboring man, and no change is necessary, for well he knows if a change comes, iie and his familr will have to walk, and the laree sum he is now hoarding up each month will commence to dwindle and disappear. No taetion of this man, from his first entrance into holding an office under , tbis government but Svhat baa been solely for his benefit, and his lone. never repaying those that stood by him fin his hour of need when hehad the opportunity. -3Ianr instances cf bis ingratitude could be giv en and many esses of his injustice to fellowworkmen might be cited, in the investigation f the Government Printing Office tbis session ! Congress, Oyster was a witness, and on crossexamination be admitted that he had discharged a printer at the request of Benedict against whom there was no charge except that be waa a Republican; tbat he was one of the best workmen in his division, and was sober and and industrious; that after his discbarge the man came to him and told him that if he woold give him a letter certifying to bia ability as a workmen be could obtain a situation in Philadelphia which would enable him to earn a living for himself and fam ilr. But Orster refused to eive it to him be cause it mi ght reflect injuriously on Benedict's administration, in discharging competent work men. Yet he is the laboring man friend. Another ease is tbat ct m. It Ramsey, one of the men who stood so firmly by him in his fLeht for Public Printer. Ramsev had been reinStated in the Government Printing OQce as proof reader. He was an old soldier and an estimable man as well as a good workmen. Benedict dis charged him. Oyster could have prevented it but did cot raise bis vote. Ramsey had loaned Oyster money,in 1878,tomak his fiht for Public l rmter wnica naa never oeen reoaiu. wnen le was discharged be tried to eel uyster to pav bim what he owed him, ' but he repudiated t.ie debt because it was outlawed. His treatment of Ellis, another one of the men who stood by him, was eauailv inramoue. Another case is that pi Josepn aiatuneiy, a si proof-reader in the office. He is an old man. And has been a worker at the printing trade all hia life. In 1877 or 1S78 (during Republican te&ninistration), Mattinely'e houseand barn were Wirttroyed by fire, lie had no insurance and tbe loss was his alL While all the rest of his fellowassociates were sympathizing with him Oyster was endeavoring to have hin discharged be cause he was a Democrat. This is the man who is now advocating the re-election of Cleveland from a laboring man' stand-point. Every es sential statement in the above can be substan dard by dozens cf affidavits.

PBOGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN

Splendid Keception Tendered Eoyey, Tanner and Clayton at rlymonth. The Third Party Ventilated by Rev. Spellman . fea a a cx nincnester ine amy hies adoui joe Fifer Promptly Refined fpeclal to the Indlanaoolis Journal. Plymouth, Oct 23 Gen. Hoyer, Corporal Tanner and Gen. Powell Clayton spoke to a large and enthusi&stio crowd here to day at court-house park. There were 7.0C0 people assembled at the park, and it was the largest day meeting ever known in Plymouth. A fine street parade took place, which was thirty-five minutes in nassing a given point, There was also & large torchlight procession in the evening, numbering over fourteen hundred marchers on foot, with fire wagons drawn by six horse3 each, filled with ladies. It was acknowledged by the speakers to have been the finest tarn-out witnessed on their tour. The speakers' carriage waa finely decor ated, and elicited commendation from the gentlemen who occupied it. A Methodist Minister Rakes the Third Party. Special to the IndianajMlU Journey. Winciiister, Oct. 23. This evening, at the City Hall, Dr. IL D. Spellman and W. A. Thompson, of this city, spoke to a very large and enthusiastic audience. Tbe Doctor has been for many years an active, earnest, con sistent minister in the M. E. Church, and has ever been an active champion of the cause of temperance. On last Wednasday a ICev. Air. Bcole, of New York, an M. E. minister, spoke herein the interest of prohibition, pitching into the Republican party, and was especially violent against members of the M. E. Church who would dare to be anything elae but third-party rrchibitlomsts. The Doctor s speech, tais even ing, was a reply to Rev. Boole, and it was a masterly effort, and received rounds of applause. He sbowsd that there is absolutely nothing in prohibition as a third-party eCort, and showed it conclusively, unless as a sort of Democratio aid society. He alio showed that every leader in that party is either a sore-head or one who has been proffered an office-calling things byjtbeir right names as he went along. He proved br the Bible that their position is untenable and bycommpn sense and sound reasoning. Seemingly every promi nent inconsistency of the third-party was brought out in the Doctor's speech, and he clearly proved that they and Democrats were, aa parties, working together for a common cause; the same cause aumptuarily considered that has been championed by the Democratic party for over sixty years. " Mr. Thompson, in his address, clearly showed the constitutionality of local option and ably seconded Dr. Spellm&n's remarks. Kefutlng the J.le About Joe Flfer. Jpeeial to the Indiananolis Journal. Bloomixoto, I1L, Oct. 23. It has been re cently charged in certain Democratio news papers, the Illinois State Register, of Springfield, especially, that during the trial, some years ago, in the ilcLean county Circuit Court, of Edwin, F. Goodspeed, a locomotive engineer, for the murder of one Stolz, Joseph W. Fifer, then State's attorney of this county, in a speech for the prosecution of Goodspeed, used langusge derogatory to railroad men as a class, speskine of them as "thugs." howlers" and ' 'drunkards. " This lie waa promptly denounced here by Re publicans and Democrats alike, but in this con nection tbe following voluntary and unsought statement by the parents of Edwin Goodspeed, the defendant in the trial for the murder, is of interest, and a complete contradiction beyond all cavil and question: Bloom 1NQT0N, TJ., Oct 23. "We, the undersigned, are the parents of Kdwin F. Goodspeed, in who trial, in the Circuit Court of MeLeau county, in 18SO, Mr. J. . lifer is alleged to bave used certain language abusive of railroadmen. We sat very near Mr. Fifer during his entire speech, and were, of course, deeply concerned in every word said. He did not u?e the language which has been attributed to him concerning railroad men, nor any of the same import, nor did he ray in that speech anything arainst railroad men, as a class. We make this statement as an act of simple justice to Mr. Fifer. j.DWr.V (JOOI'SrEED. Elizabeth GooLsriED. Mr. Goodspeed, sr., has, for more than thirty years, been an employe of the Chicago & Alton railroad. Tally at Monticello, 111. Special to the lnd!anaoii J oar naa. Monticello, I1L, Oct 23. The Republicans of Piatt, county held their grand rally here, to day, which was a great success, and was at tended by G.000 people, notwithstanding the raiu, which made the streets almost impassable. Large delegations were present from Deland, Cerro Gordo, Sangamon and other points, with wagens loaded with ladies representing the States, and log cabins with coons and ciderbarrels. One wason had forty two horses hitched to it, d rawing a car of ladies representing the States.

Cpecial to the Indianapolis Jcurnaz, .Pkrtj, Oct. 2a The Hon. James N. Tyner, ex-Postmaster-general, is in the eity, the guest of Hon. A. C Bearss. Mr. Tyner is suffering somewhat from a severe cold, contracted during his tanvass of West Virginia, and will remain here a few days resting preparatory to making speeches throughout this State during the balance of the campaign, and will be in this city on Oct SO, when the grand Republican rally of northern Indiana will occur. In conversation Mr. Tyner says that no doubt exists, from personal observation, but that New York and Connecticut are Republican; West Virginia be considered doubtful, but States that the Republicans have made immense gains all thronjh. Regarding an item in the Rochester Republican stating that Mr. Tyner had not been engaged to delirer speeches in Indiana because of a disagreement with Mr. John C. New, Mr. Tyner authorizes me to say tbat there ia no truth in thia report, and furthermore, that he waa solicited by the national committee to stomp Connecticut New York, West Virginia, Michigan and Indiana, and as soon as be possibly could do so he went The item referred to was a surprise to him and he wishes it denied in to to. Judge Forkner at Greenfield. Special to the Indiananolis Journal. Greenfield, Oct 23. Ta night, Judce M. E. Forner, of New Castle, made one of tbe most earnest and enthusiastic Republican speeches that hr.s been heard here this campaign. He said that the Democratio party had never held power in this country, except by securing a representation to which they wer not entitled. Before the war the South had three votes for every fiv negroes. Now each neero has a vete, but tho Democratic party takes the representation and thenegro does not vote, either. One vote in the South is made to equal two or thr votes in the North, both for Congressman and President The Judge believes these to be paramount issues of .the campaign, but he devoted an hour to a very able discussion of the tariif issue. The Judga received the warmest congratulations at the close of his speech. Marine at Hertford, fpedal ta the lndlaranolii Journa. Bedford, Oct 23. Eon. William M.

Tbe Situation in Connecticut. Special in FhiladeleaU Preis. Both parties here have completed a poll of the eight counties comprising tbe State. Another one will be taken a week before election. It is Impossible to get the aetual figures returned on either side, but the Republicans are doing a great deal of bragging of their count, while the Democrats don't aeeia disposed to controvert the claims tbat are made. This is. perhaps, as good an indication of tbe drift of presidential politics up here at one can gather. Theepublicacs have sounded all the depths and shores for some forerunner of a latter day seare such as thev had in 1SS4, but there is no evidence of any hidden Burehard, and tber confidently expect to turn the State over to General Harrison by a plurality varying from 1,000 to 3.000. Xo one ean go throcgh the industrial towns along tbe shore or up into the Xaogatuek valley without feeling that tbe politicians who are estimating the Harrison vote cf this State are cot getting down to tbe real bottom facts of the situation. In a day's journey I could not find a factory in which the tariff issue has cot made converts to Republicanism among the workingmeo.

Even better results than tbis are foreshadowed in this district, on which Mr. Barnum depends every year to sweep away the Republican majority in the rest of the State.

Chancellor Sims, of the Syrscuie Unlrersity, arraigns Governor Hill in strong tarms for his opposition to temperance reform and for his veto of the Saxtoa electoral reform bill. He indoraas Mr. Miller for the stand he has taken against the rum power.. Here is what he says: "For years I, with many aakine that the Republican advanced grounds on the others, hare been party should take restriction of tha) liquor traffic Now that it has done so, I should be wanting In manhood did I hesitate to exDreas my approval of the position it has assumed and my desire for its succosa in the approaching election. Governor Hill hasN vetoed bill after bill -which seemed to me to calculated to lessen the amount of liquor selling and to diminish tbe evils of the traffic. His veto of the Saxton bill commits him against the protection of the ballot Certainly no hope of any legislation looking to the restriction of the mm trade or the securement of honest elections ean be expected while he is Governor. On tho other hand. Warner Miller is making the bravest fight against the saloon that any candidate with a chance to win has ever made in oar Stats. I believe a high license law ia a step toward prohibition. I shall vote for Miller, and feel in so doice that I am voting for hones; elections and against tho liquor traffic Died Aged 123 Tears. Atlanta Fpecial. At Nannie, a postoGce villare in tMs State, Jen! King, colored, the oldeat man in the State. if not in tbe world, died Saturday. lie was 123 years old, according to authentis records kept in the King family. Tha story, aa told, by Jell Kinr. is that he was born near Richmond, Vs., in 1760, when he belonged to a family named Carteret. When ten years of age Jeff was bewitched by an old white woman who lived in the neighborhood. After many incantations the snell was broken, and the old witch, angered that she should bave been foiled in her influence of the child, hurled at him the imprecation that be mieht lite until she paid him bacfc for bia disappointment. She died shortly after, and Jeff, when his years had passed the limit allotted to man, often recalled her words and felt that he waa living on and on until ahe could return to be avenged. Jeff, whan aixty years of age, was bought by a Mr. King of North Carolina, in whose possession he remained for forty years. He was then sold into Georgia, where, at the age of one hundred, he lived to become a freeman. He has had wives without number, aud his children were so numerous that he never attempted to count them. Three years ago he married a likely young negrcts of twenty, and he became the father of two more children. The people around Nannie, who bave known him for years, profess implicit faith in the great age claimed by him. The Is'ewsboy and tbe Parrot. New York PrM. "Sunday Press! Picture of tbe parrot!" yelled a newsboy on tbe Bowery yesterday. The par-1 rot screamed at bim somewhat louder than nau- ' al: "The tariff is a tax." "Come off, PoUy!1 shouted the newsboy. "Why don't yer read the papers and find out what's goin' on? The tariff on paper for the newspapers ia 15 per cent., and the price of tbe stuff has come down from 9 cents a pound to 4, in nine years, and it's cheaper, because . they make so mnch more than they did." "The tariff is a tax!"' reiterated the parrot ''My dad works in a paner-mill np the river at Ballston," continued tbe boy, "and he gets twice as much wages as he used to get for the same work in England, where he learned bis trade, and nearly twice as mnch as they used to get here under the low tariff, when ho first came over. If I were you I'd cheese it." And the parrot replied: "The tariff is a tax." Another Bit of Testimony. Kokomo Gaxette-Tribnne. Calvin Simmons, nneineer at the plate-glassworks, is a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive . Engineers. He was at the meeting in Indianapolis in 1877, where General HarrUon is charged with uttering the dollar-a-day and other such stories. Mr. Simmons beard all that Gen. Harrison said on that occasion, and declares that h uttered not one word that any laboring man can take exception to.

After the Tullaboma campaign, with its fiehts of Hoover's and Liberty rass, with Bragg forced beyond the Tennesee river, we went into camp. Zly division consisted cf three brigades. Two were stationed at Ducherd. on the Nashville & Chattanooga railroad. The third brigade was at tho nines of branch railroad which ran to some coal mines soma ton or fifteen miles away. This road ran through rich valleys (called coves in that part of tha country), in which some splendid jUutaticaa were situated. 'One day, just befora w Is gan tb move that culminated in the battle of Chiclcamauga, T vrent up to the end of the road to inspect my tricade stationed at that point. 1 took a taj olf.cer with me.

I a.sw noticed a commotion among the nerroes.

As 1 walked away I must say I grew anxious. The force of the old man's words and fears grew on rue. Not that I feared lr myself, but if an accident should happen to me. I could, in my imagination, see my division taking a tsrrible revenge. So i hurried on. hoping to meet the hand-car before we came to the b: trestle-work, some seventy feet high and over 150 feet long a spidery affair, with nothing but ties to walk on. I dreaded this more than any thing else, for I always set dizzy trying to walk at any great haieht. After walking for about an hour (the darkness being intense) I heard the welcome rattle of the car. and stopped for it to eome np. The sergeant said a mistake bad been made, and tbat they had beoo sent down the main line to the tunnel Not finding me they came back to the junct'.oa, at.4 bad hurried on, booing to find me.

'The next day the old man visited the camp, congratulated rrb on my 6afe return and pae me a formal invitation to dine with him. stipulating for a strong escort. I accepted the invitation and bad a royal good time. This time I found my host charming in fact my bean ideal of an entertainer.
