Some of the Ideas They Express When Unconscious of a Exporter's Freaee. There were probably 2."30 persons present at Koontz'a ex-Union soldier meeting at tho Hendricks Club rooms, last night. No business of any importanco was transacted, but the meeting was addressed by Senator Mullinix, of Greene county, and Representative Robbins, of Miami. Both found objections to Democratic members of tho G. A. R. remaining any longer in that organization. Thy affirmed that tho order was U9ed by the Republican party for partisan purposes. Senator Mullinix, in his remarks, said that during the campaign the G. A. R. in 'his part of the State worked openly for tho Republican party, and Avas used as a means of circulating campaign literature for that ;arty. It is high time, 6aid he, that tho Jemocratic soldiers were organized for :hemselves. Ho then turned his attention to tho convening of tho Legislature, which he termed "the only thing 6aved from the Democratic wreck." in referring to questions that are to como before the General Assembly, ho said that the election laws ought to be amended so as to bring about fair elections and abolish tloaters, In regard to the 6chool-book trust, tho Senator 6aid that it would be his effort in tho coming session to seek some means by which tho trust might bo abolished and the children of the poor bo furnished with cheap books. Captain Bobbins stated that the Democratic members of tho G. A. R. in his section paid all the expenses and did all the work, while the Republican members scooped tho offices, and openly, by their manner, regarded the Democratic members as subs to the order. They managed, by preconcerted Burns, to Veep the offices filled with Repubcans. He had furnished light, fuel, rooms, and acted as janitor for tho order, and received in pay slander and vituperation. In all tho G. A. R. . postrooms of his country, he said, no pictures of McClcllan, Hancockand other Democratic officers were found. After turning the Loyal Legion over for not letting the private soldier in, the Captain took occasion to defend himself against tho attacks . of tho Peru papers in regard to an alleged assertion made by him concerning the erection of the soldiers' monument. Ho said that it was his plan to build a monument which would be of benefit to tho living as well as tho dead. This could bo done by building a Memorial Home, which would servo as a .haven of rest for the old decrepit soldier ande his wife. He had never opposed tho building of tho monument, but had urged tho adoption of his plan as a more suitable means of perSetuating tho honor and valorof the soldier ead of Indiana. Both of the speakers spoke very bitterly against tho G. A. R., and made tho old-time aecusationof "offensive partisanship," and appealed to the Democratic 6oldiers to stand firm in their purpose. Captain Taylor, who presided at the meeting, made a few remarks, in which ho stated that they now numbered six hundred, and new additions wero being made. Senator Mullinix and Capt. Robbins were elected honorary members. TILE CHESS PEIZE-WIXNERS. Mr. Ripley Defeats Dr. Leech, and Stands at the Read of the Late Contestants. The Indiana State chess tournament closed in favor of W. 1L Ripley, with the score of ten won and two lost, with the privilege remaining of a contest between him and Dr. T. F. Leech for tho chief prhe for the two best in three. The Doctor stood second and had won a gamo from tho chief prizewinner. This last contest has taken place, leaving Mr. Ripley tho unconditional winner by adding two more games to his score, which stands twelve won and two lost. Dr. Leech second, with nine won and five lost; II. C. Brown, third, eight won and four lost; G. G. Tague, fourth, seven won and five lost; H. C. Johnson, George W. Cooper, Dr. E. R. Lewis, Presaly Guymonand L. P. Brown tieing for fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth places, with six won and six lost. James B. Mulkv and Ewald Over are tied for tenth and eleventh, with five won and seven lost. Dr. J. F. Wright is twelfth, with three won and nine lost. Major J. F. Gent is thirteenth, with only one won and twelvo lost. The latter wins tho consolation prize. The deciding game in the playoff match between the first and second Sirize winners will be in next Saturday's fournal, with comments by tho winner. Air. Ripley has received many congratulations from different parts of the State, and also from other States. In regard to the honor conferred on him as a representative of Indiana in the coming national contest, ho says ho feels tho responsibility greatly, but his best efforts can only be stimulated by well wishes and proper encouragement from thoso whom ho represents, lie feels that his best play, unless counteracted by ill health, will win for Indiana the third place. Tho State meeting closed with an oyster supper tendered by the local players, and resolutions 01 thanks to ail tho Indianapolis players. The manager ofcthe English Hotel has tendered to the organized chessplayers its large reading-room as a place of meeting and resort. The Indianapolis contingent will act on tho proposition to-morrow afternoon. JUDGE CLAYPOOL'S NOMINATION. ne Is Somewhat Indifferent as to His Being Confirmed as District Attorney. Concerning the withdrawal of his nomination from the Senate for district attorney and tho substitution therefor of Judgo Solomon Claypool, Leon Bailey, to a Journal reporter, last night expressed surprise at the action of the President, though he remarked that Justice Harlan, of tho Supremo Court, had recommended Judgo Claypool as the proper man for tho office. Judge Woods said he was not surprised at the news, but had learned nothing direct himself. United States Clerk Butler was surprised at the action, or appeared to be, claiming that the nominee would not accept the office. Judge Claypool, when asked by tho reporter w hat he knew of the nomination said: "Well, have not heard a thing about it myself. Tho first intimation 1 had of tho matter was when some gentleman came in and told me about it this afternoon, and I told him that was the first I had heard of it." "Will you accept the office!" "It is not a place that I should desire, especial as it is full of duties that tax a man severely, with small emoluments and no honor attached to it, and in the present state of affairs, with a good many of them clear behind, it would probably take nearly all my time for several months to get things lixed up, and then I understand the grand jurv has a great deal of work before it." ""Do 3011 think the nomination will be continued by tho Senate?" "It is very doubtful as to tho Senate confirming any nomination now, no matter who was proposed by tho President; so it makes very little diflereuce one way or the other, and, as for myself, I am perfectly iudifierent as to what may transpire in tho case, for I shall make no cllort to secure such an office, anyway." Came Here on Business. , Captain Colbert last night arrested Edward R. Miller, a professional gambler and burglar, who has operated throughout ihe West for several years. Miller admits that be came hero with three other craksmenfor thepurpo.se of blowing a safe. He also gave information that will possibly lead to the arrest of several other dangerous men. . i. . . .
