Ind.. Oct. 7. Hon. Th03. H. Nelson, who Is a great favorite in Washington, wa3 given a warm reception last nlRht; in fact, the demonstration was a complete surprise to every one, regardless of the fact that Republicanism here is away above par. Tne Young Men's Republican Ciub. four hundred strong, marcheJ from the club rooms to the People's Theater in a bo'ly, and the turnout was anything but satisfactory to local Democracy. The hall, which seats almost a thousand, was packed, and among the number were over a dozen laboring men who have heretofore voted the Democratic ticket, but who will vote for another change this fall. Mr. Nelson's speech was preceded by a catchy, up-to-date ;ong by the Young Men's Republican Clcb ljuartet, and tnis part of the programme was the starter of one of the noisie.'t meetings ever held In Washington. Mr. Nelson was Introduced by Judge W. It. Gardiner, and he received an ovation. He delivered the first Republican speech made in Washington, in 1m. and has visited this city nearly every other year since that date. His address last night was one of the most scholarly and logical that has been heard here for years, and It was most enthusiastically received. After ttie address the quartet was called on again ani responded amid much cheering. The big audience was so well pleased that their storm of applause brought the singers back again, and when they had for the third time enterta'nexl the audience three hearty cheers each were given for the Republican party, Mr. Nelson, the quartet and Col. A. M. Hardy, the candidate for Congress. Small Audience for Democrats. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSON VI L.L.E. Ind., Oct. 7. Hon. S. M. Stockslager and Hon. J. M. Cravens, Democratic nominees for the offices of Congressman and joint Senator, respectively, closed their campaign In this county last night, holding a joint meeting at Moart Hall, the smallest public building In the city. At no time during the meeting was the hall more than two-thirds full, and at least one-third of those present were Republicans. The speakers were constantly interrupeted by persons coming and going, and there was a noticeable lack of enthusiasm. Before the speakers closed so many had left the hall that Mr. Cravens clUl not rpeak more than ten minutes. The prominent Democrats of this county, who, almost to a mm, supported Jason Brown In the late primary, Avere conspicuous by their absence. At Sellersburg. where the two gentlemen spoke on Thursday night, the crowd was small. In spite of the fact that Silver Creek township has been hitherto stronply Democratic. Hon. W. D. Owen and Hon. J. B. Cheadle will address the Republicans of this vicinity an next Thursday nlKht. 31 r. Hanly Called Home. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NOBLES VI LLE, Ind., Oct. 7. The Republican campaign in Hamilton county is In excellent shape and the result when returns come in will be entirely satisfactory to the party managers, both of county and State. Hon. J. Frank Hanly, candidate for Congress in this district, has been In the county during the past week, "and has had large and enthusiastic crowds at every point. Mr. Hanly yesterday was called by telegraph to the bedside of hl3 sick wife, hence he could not be present last night at the larg-e meeting' at the courthouse here. Many were unable to get in the court room. Hon. Warwick H. Hipley, of Indianapolis, addressed the meeting till the arrival of Hon. Smiley X. Chambers, who dedvered a speech that was most happily received. By quoting from platforms of several different national Democratic conventions he showed the utter inconsistency of that party on the tariff question, lie shovei how prosperity followed Kepublican legislation, while distress followed In the wake of Democratic tariff tinkering. Only a, Question of Majority. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Oct. 7. This has been the most remarkable campaign the political managers In Wabash county have ever known. On the surface comparatively little interest is manifested, and yet the county Chairman says there is a strong undercurrent which leads him to believe there will be little difficulty in getting out the vote election day. Especially Is this true of the Republicans, among whom there is an earnest desire to get at the opposition. AbDut the only truessing now being done In this county and in the Eleventh district is the size of the Republican majority. The Prohibition and Populist vote is destined to be very light. The latter vote In Is32 in Wabash county was ar.rt It will, it is predicted, fall below that figrure next month. It's a square tight between Republicanism and Democracy in Wabash county, and there is no doubt but the county will return a larger Republican majority this fall than at any time for thirty years.

terday afternoon. He ignored the veterans and had not a word to say in defense of the Hoke Smith crusade against pensions, backed up by Cleveland.

Democratic Alliance Declined. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENSBURG. Ind.. Oct. 7.

On Saturday afternoon the Populist county committee ordered the name of Donnell taken off their county ticket, and placed In Its ?te.id the name of iViiliam lvans. of Jatr.kjn township. His removal was caused by his failure to answei certain questions satisfactorily.

A., pointing to the tendency of many Catholic priests, particularly those of foreign blrtn, to discuss some public questions with religious prejudice, as one of the causes. He denounced the association by declaring that it was founded on unpatriotic and dishonorable principles, and called on all CathollC3 to pay no attention to the movement.

It is quite a mistaken idea that "stopping payment" of a banknote has the effect supposed by very many pr-ople. It simply means that the Bank of England carefully keep a lookout for the note which has been "stopped." and, though -it cannot refuse to pay such a note immediately on its being presented, a' notification would at oncf be mads to the person who stopped it, and the bank would give all the assistance In its power to enable the loser to recover the amount. In the case of a banknote having been, say, burned by mistake, if the number is known and notice sent to the Bank of England It will pay the amount, nfter an interval of five years from the date of lodging notice of destruction, should no one have presented the note for payment In the meantime. The bank In such cases also insists on a guarantee being given by a banker or two householders that it shall be repaid in the event of the document ever turning up and being again tendered for payment. In this connection it is interesting to glance for a moment at a very wholesome rule enforced bv Scotch banks in regard to mutilated nnd spoiled notes pre?ented for payment. The system adopted in these institutions Is a simple one. beinj? merely to iay in proportion to the size of the banknote: that is to say (unless there is the clearest evidence that the mutilation or tne uocument is purely accidental, if the half of a onepound note It presented the bank only pays 1 shillings for it. on the perfectly fair plea that, for all they kno- to the contrary, the remaining half or third may be presented at a future time by a second person. It is not at all an unusual circumstance . for a mutilated note to be presented for ' pavment. burned perhapu half throuqh, v.ic'a mark3 of burning on the fringes. Nor Is the damage always accidental. The men who indulge in the luxury of lighting their pipes with a banknote are not always, as ho., o may think, millionaires or recognized lunatics of society. The spoiled notes are more often than not presented by workmen or laborers, who confess without hesitation that they have Intentionally lighted their pipes with them from mere braggadocio.

DR. HOLMES NO MORE tConclmlcil from Flrnt Page. I aspirants for the Republican nomination, and the success of the former was due as much to Governor Curtln as to any other man. The part he bore in those political affairs which went so far in shaping the destiny of the country is best presented in his own words, used but a short time ago I in an interview: "Thoueh not a delegate." I said Governor Curtin. "I went to the Chi cago convention in 1SG0 determined to do all in my power to prevent the nomination of Senator Seward. I had no personal bias in the matter, for at that time I had not become personally acquainted with eitner Seward or Lincoln. I knew, however. In my own State that at least a large part of those who would pupport Bell and Everett if Seward were nominated would under other circumstances come to us. My sole opposition to Senator Seward was based upon his want of strength in Pennsylvania, as the natural result of defeat in that State in October would have been a national defeat in November. "Among the first men I met after my arrival in Chicago was Henry S. Lane, the Republican candidate for Governor of Indiana, and John D. Defrees, of the same State. I told them what were my fears as to the consequences that would follow the nomination ot Senator Seward, and they replied that the choice of the New York Senator as a candidate would prove equally disastrous to Republican chances in Indiana, and the delegation from that State would vote solidly for Lincoln as long as there was thope for his nomination. Together we visited ths delegates as they arrived and advised them as to what. In our opln-, ion, was the wisest course to follow. However, we found the majority of them Inclined to support Seward, and when the convention met on Wednesday it was plain to be seen that he was the favorite. "An adjournment was taken over night. On Thursday the situation was changed but little, and had the convention proceeded to ballot on that day Senator Seward would surely have been nominated. Fortunately, the business men of Chicago had tendered the convention a boat ride on the lake. The temptation to enjoy the excursion proved -stronger than the desire to ballot, and this, coupled with some delay in the delivery of the ballots, the cause of which I have now forgotten, postponed the voting until Friday. Thursday night Lane and I again saw all the State delegations and told the delegates that with Lincoln as the candidate we could carry Pennsylvania and Indiana In October by handsome majorities, but that if Seward was nominated our defeat was certain. LINCOLN'S NOMINATION. "As one of the results of our labors It was agreed among the Pennsylvania delegates that after giving a complimentary vote for Gen. Simon Cameron on the first ballot their entire strength on subsequent ballots should go to Lincoln. The first ballot showed 173U votes for Seward and 102 for Lincoln. On the second ballot the Pennsylvania delegation changed from Cameron to Lincoln, causing an Immediate and fatal break in the lines of the Seward men. Before the ballot closed the Vermont and New Jersey delegates, among whom we had done effective work the night before, deserted Seward for Lincoln, and the announcement of the vote showed 184 votes for Seward and lfcl for Lincoln. Changes to Lincoln followed each other In rapid succession during the progress of the third ballot, and before it was ended Lincoln had 231 ii votes. 233 t being required to nominate. Then four Ol the Ohio delegates changed to Lincoln, assuring his nomination, and before the ballot closed 351 out of 440 delegates had declared In hi3 favor. William M. Evarts, Henry J. Raymond and'Turlow Weed, the Seward leaders, who had been confident of his nomination until the last, were a mated and dumfounded at the result, but Evarts promptly moved that Lincoln's nomination should be made unanimous, and with the enthusiasm that usually attends an event of the kind the motion was carried." Inaugurated in January, Governor Curtin was compelled at the very outse: of his administration to meet the gravest responsibilities and to cope with the most vital.questions that can arhe In the history of a free people, but he proved equal to every task, meeting each emergency thatarose during the six years he occupied the gubernatorial chair with a tireless patriotism, unfaltering courage and prompt and unerring judgment, which marked him as worthy to take rank among the first, if not as. the very first, of the little group of truly great men. who governed the loyal States from lfcW to 1S65. The import of the events which followed the election of President Lincoln was plain to him from the first, and the speedy coming of the contest was made even more manifest than It had been before by the circumstances of President Lincoln's Journey from Springfield to Washington to enter upon the discharge of his duties. President Lincoln journeyed by way of Harrisburg, arriving there on Friday, Feb. 12. and It was then that Governor Curtin met him for the first time. He addressed the State Legislature in the afternoon, and later held a public" reception. , In the recent interview", quoted above, Governor Curtin described the conference which led to JJr. Lincoln's secret Journey to Washington. LINCOLN'S SECRET JOURNEY. "After the reception," says Governor Cur-I tin, "a private conference was held In the parlor of the hotel at which the presidential party was stopping. There were present, besides the President, N. B. Judd, Ward H, Lamon, Judge David Davis, Col. E. V. Sumner and one or two more of those who were traveling with the President. N. B. Judd told us that from two different sources -Allen G. Pinkerton In the first and a party of New York detectives in the second Instance information had been received of a plot to assassinate the President during his passage through Baltimore, an'd to guard against danger it had been arranged that the President should return on a special train to Philadelphia that evening, and take the night express on the Philadelphia. 'Wilmington & Baltimore railroad, thus throwing the conspirators, who expected him to go to Washington over the Northern Central railroad, oft the scent. "Encouraged by the President's cool and collected bearing. I at first discouraged the, idea of a secret journey, advising the President-elect to travel by daylight, volunteering to go with him in person. But when full and convincing proof of the plot was laid before us by Mr. Judd. knowing that the assassination of the head of the government would bring national ruin, I Instantly changed my mind and joined in devising means to secure his safety. In the evening a public dinner was given the President, and at its close I invited him to tr- and sr.ervl the n!ght at my house. "lie accepted the Invitation, and, to allay suspicions, all members of the party but Col. Lamon were left behind at the hotel. We were at once driven in a closed carriage to the outskirts of the city, where, a special tra.!n. consisting of an engine, tender and passenger car, was standing. I Ftood on the stree't crossing until I saw "mti enter fie cir, and thn went lme. The wires between Harrisburg and Washington and between te former city and Philadelphia had already been cut to prevent anv news of his movements getting abroad, and with Colonel Umon as his only companion he started on the journey to Washington. Early the next morning we receives! word that tie trip hid been made In sife'v. and that President Lincoln wis in Washington." Governor Curtin early became on" qf Prescient Lincoln's trusted advisers. Their meetings were frequent, and each soon came to appreciate the other' sv worth at Its full value. "President L'.ncoCn." savs the Governor, "when I first met him. did not impress me as being a great man. His greatness was then in a measure still dormant.

JOYCE AT DE A Til'S JJ00IL His Physician Had Little Hope that Ho Would Live Till Daylight. Aurellus J. Joyce, Republican candidate for county court clerk, was lying at the point of death at 2:20 o'clock this morning, and his physician. Dr. T. M. Bryan, had faint hope that his patient would live until daylight. Mr. Joyce's family, including hid wife and four daughters, were at the bedside throughout the nignt, anxiously hop.ng to note one symptom that might promise him a further lease of life. Yesterday morning Drs. Bryan and Luther Todd noted a slight improvement in Mr. Joyce's condition, his pulse having lowered and in fever showing some signs of passing a climax. At noon he was resting a bit easier, but in the afternoon the fever was raging high and the patient became unconscious. It is haidly probable that Mr. Joyce will live througa the day. Hundreds of friends called during the day at the house, on Fletcher avenue, and were met at the gate by neighbors, who had been, stationed there to prevent ahy noise whatever, as it Is necessary that tne patient have exceeding quiet. A number of tha gentlemen who are associated on the Republican ticket with Mr. Joyce were among the visitors. Owing to the stomach ailment, Mr. Joyce is unable to partake of nutriment or medicine through the mouth. THE WIHTIAG OF PLAYS. It Is u Literary Art Entirely DlHtlnet From All Other. Miriam C. Harris, in the Atlantic One wonders that any plays are written, since there are so many difficulties surrounding the process. Yet managers hav hundreds of plays on their shelves unread. It 13 only through personal interest that they can be got to read a play by a new writer. They do not like to "exploit" new plays, the chances of failure and the expense of producing them are so great. They wait lor something that has been tested abroad, and they are not to be blamed for their caution. A play is a lottery. The cleverest critics are unable to say how It is going to take. A playwr.ght who has since made some success -told xne that after the last renearsal of a play of his the manager ta noted one) said to hhn thoughtfully: "I have the greateat confidence in this play. It 13 the sort of play we want Tor our hou?e, and it Is going to be a hit. The next night it was produced, tailed absolutely, and had to be withdrawn within a week. With a play it Is immediate success wr failure; there is no middle course. It la life or death, and no lingering on the continep. With a novel, on the contrary, it '-9 a long time before the last returns are in. 1'ou are let down, gently; you find gradually that you have not carried the wor.d with you, but there is much egotistical sophistry possible, and hope, tells a flattering tale for a good while. There are always, also, a certain number of people to whom you have appealed; even in your unpopularity you are popular with a sympathetic minority, and you try to make yourself believe that the minority are the true critics, and that the failure is only a seeming, one. There, are numberless things, in fact, that you can make yourself believe, and which save your feelings. But about a play there is no pread venture. If you have failed, you have failed, and that la all there is to it. All your work is lost. Thei;e is absolutely nothing you can do with it. It is not worth the paper it is written upon; there Is no sympathetica minority who can see it and keep your spirits up by their applause. It Is dead and buried, and will never fee the light ag.Un. It . is perhaps quite fitting that the debut of a play should be so dramatic and its failure so tragic; nevertheless. It must be a very unpleasant experience for the author, and the prospect ' does not recruit th-i ranks of the playvrlghts. And nobady caa tell you why it has tailed. There Is something uncanny In the will and the won't of it. The best critics cannot predict with any certainty, the most astute managers may make the greatest mistakes. A to Baldness.

"Why do you wear it In the otTlce?" asked one of the boys. "Habit, that's all. I feel more at home with It on. However, I m!ght as well take it off now and give my head a rest." He removed it suddenly and a batch of letters Tell to the floor. He stared at them a moment as if he could not quite comprehend what they were doing there; then he laughed, but rather faintly.
