THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1884.

DEFENDING TUE HUSH. Ai Incident of the Fcnn Raid. Grover Cleveland Appears as Counsel for the Patriotic Prisoners and Defends Tbem "Without Pay. Among the delegates to the National Democratic Convention a few reek3 ago was Captain O'Donahne, of New York, a raember of the Legislature of that State. lie was n old acquaintance of Congressman Finerty, and sought to retire old time memories bj hcntiDgupthe representative of the Second Illinois District. He found him one evening at the rooms of the Irish-American Club in company with "William Fogarty, T. P. O'Connor, Michael Kelley, John DeVay, and a Mr. Kennedy, a mutual friend, formerly a resident ot New York, but now living in Chicago. "Do you recollect the last time we were together?" asked Captain O'Donahue of Pinerty. The latter gentleman nodded an affirmative. Then Captain O'Donahue related to the party the story of tke Fenian's raid of 1SGG into Canada bya few zealous young Fenians, whose imaginations had been fired with the belief that they would strike terror to the heart of the mother country by this invalion of Canada, and how the United States Government had quietly hitched a naval vessel to the transport on which they were crossing the Niagara Iliver into the English dominions and towed them into port as prisoners. "Do you remember the morning," continued Captain O'Donahue, "when you and I, with the others, stood before the bar of a Criminal Court at Buffalo, without a friend cr counsel to defend us? "We were a sorry lot, a rash band of young men resting under a grave charge. "While in this friendless and helpless condition, do you remember the young man, an obscure lawyer at the time, who stepped up and volunteered hi3 services in our defense? lie defended us persistently and consistently and successfully. "When we afterward raised a purse and presented it to him, he refused to accept it, saying that he was glad to serve us, unfortunately situated as we were, without reward. That man was Grover Cleveland, the man just nominated by the convention for President of the United States." TDK ISSUE OF PRIVATE CHARACTER The Buffalo Scandal UiMCusaed by a Republican and an Kx-liovernor of Kansas The following editorial is taken from the Emporia (Kan.) Republican, written by iu eduor and proprietor, ex-Uovernor C. V. Kekridge, of that State: The newspaper press Is very extensively ccpy ing and commenting on stories, recently published by the Buffalo Evening Telegraph and the Cincinnati Enquirer, defamatory of the private character of Governor Cleveland. "We have refrained from taking any part in this expose cf alleged licentious conduct on the part of the Democratic nominee for President for the farce reason that we have refrained from discussing alleged indiscretions cn the part of the Republican and Frohioition candidates, and we allude to the matter row for the purpose of considering, free from partisan and personal prejudice, the propriety and policy of making attacks upon the private character of candidates fur cftce, unlets supported by testimony at least as strong as that required by the Supreme Court of Kansas in case of alleged violation of the prohibitory law, the ground of opposition to their election. It is assumed that the moral condition of a people is very largely dependent upon that cf it3 rulers, and that as in this country public officers, though elected and removed by the popular wil.', are virtually the rulers of public alfaire, the more exalted the official position the more necessary it i3 that it should be filled bv men of exemplary habits and spotless reputation for private virtue as well as yflicial integrity. It is, therefore, claimed that the private or even bv-gone and discarded immoralities of Presidential candidates are matters of grave public concern, forming fit subjects ot public inquiry and discussion, and licentious and demoralizing; conduct, if it can be brought to light, should be dragged out of its concealment in order that the moral sentiment of the community may defeat the election of any candidates who fail to successfully defend their private characters from defamatory reports. The private lives Ld actions ot candidates are to be inquired into; their family, business, moral and religious atTairs, from youth up, are to be diligently searched for evidences of discreditable, dishonest, dissipated, licentious or otherwise offensive acta; for all of which they are to be held accountable at the bar of political justice, and the moral, the upright and the virtuous candidates only are to be elected. "Who would object to this righteous though stern canon, and what party is entitled to plead political necessity, material interests, platform issues, nominations already effected or other considerations in lieu of the indispensable qualification of spotless biorapnies on the part of ita candidates for public office? Wny Js a private morality a less important attribute than official integrity? Why shoal 1 not candidates be stripped to the naked skin, every sore and Bcnr exposed to the public view, and only such as are found free fron defect cr blemish in private as well as in public character be considered fit competitors for the suffrages of a moral and religtom people? It is well that the discussion of private scandals has been opened, if it had to come, at this early stage of the campaign. The accused parties have time to deny, defend or explain the charges brought them, and the public has time to consider the nature and proba. ie truth of the charges, and give thera the weight to which they are entitled as campaign issues. It is a matter of history that the private character of a large number of Presidential, as well as other candidates for public offices in the United States have been in the judgmeiitj of succeeding years, grossly calumniated in the heat ot partisan discussion. It is exceedingly probable that the private lives ot George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Daniel Webster, as instances of the question in hand, were fully ai amenable to criticism aa the private lives of James G. B!aine, Stephen Grover Cleveland and John P. St. John. It was the standard 'contemporaneous charge against the father of his country that a comely whit domestic was not safe in his own manaioa against his illicit advances, and this propensity was currently reported to be a source of much disquietude to the sainted Martha, and the on.'y cloud in "her do meat I hcrson. The story iounds absurd now, ba it was persistently repeated in thwedy. It was charged egainjt Alexander Hamilton that be admitted rather than submit to farther blackmail that he had carried on an

adalterous intrigue with what appears to have been one ot the female lobbyists in Washington. The stories about Daniel Webster's carouses and amours were so. numerous as to have found general acceptance since as well as in his own day. It. is a matter of record that Mrs. Andrew Jackson was virtually murdered by campaign calumnies upon her own reputation, the object being the merely partisan one of defeating her husband for the Presidency. Yet Mrs. Jackson was as fit to preside over the White House as any of the list of noble and brilliant ladies who have so admirably discharged the duties of that position. Her murder, like that of Horace Greeley's, by campaign vituperation for mere political effect, is one of tne foulest blots on the pages of our political history. It has been published fn previous campaigns that quite soon after, when young Mr. Dlaine moved fron Kentucky to Maine, fie vat followed by an irate Kentucky gciitltuirtii and his dauj?iter,&.ud beirg fonnd by them at Bangor, marriage vows.which had been exchanged in Kentucky were speedily consummated by a legal matrimonial ceremony the propriety of which sooa became apparent to all parties concerned. It is an old story about St. John that he became a father while a bachelor and then married another lady of the Eurest character, whose true Christian spirit as proved her husband's inspiration. It ii now charged against Mr. Cleveland that he is a seducer, a debauchee, a monster of hidden licentiousness and unspeakable depravity, and ministers of the gospel, who never before concerned themselves in regard to those alleged crimes, exhibit a wonderful spirit of inquiry into Mr. Cleveland's private life and appeal for his political defeat on the score of his personal uncleanliness in every moral point of view. We find that since and during the;e alleged Immoralities, which, if perpetrated, must have been subjects f general knowledge in Rulfalo, Mr. Cleveland was elected Sheriff of Erie County, Mayor of Bailalo, Governor of New York, and then nominated f jr the Presidency, all the while considered a respectable citizen and supported by an overwhelming public sentiment io the city of his own residence from boyhood. Why was not this expo?e made before the struggle in the Chicago Convention over his nomination? Have not such charges gone by default of rot having been presented until this stage of the present Presidential campaitrn? We reach the conclusion that correct as the ministeral code of political righteousness may be, it can not be successfully applied to the great mijority of men who have been and will be nominated to public office in this or any other country. Applying it to the candidates of the opposing parties involves its application to the candidates of our own party, and when national conventions have been held and Presidential tickets put into the field the time for searching the private lives and habits of the nominees and deciding the election oa the strength and virulence of campaign slanders has passed by. We have no desire to defend Mr. Cleveland. That is not our province. He ought to be defeated as the candidate of a party which the people of this country can not afford to entrust with the Government. He may also be personally incompetent and undeserving of the pos tion. But be must be defeated on other grounds than exposes of bis-private character made public lor the first time to any appreciable extent, since his nomination to the Presidency. If such stories are to become the deciding issues of a campaign no candidate is safe for a day from overwhelming defeat and disgracs. All the candidates would have to retire, and their successors would share a similar fate until a Presidential election would become an impossibility. We believe all such stories about public men should be discountenanced when brought out for the evident purpose of defeating them for office. It is dirty work at the Lest. They are responsible as public men and as candidates for their official records and for the possession of respectable private characters. If this character is respectable up to the hour of their nomination it is not the public interest to establish a system of espionage and detraction bavin for its object the defeat of candidates through the destruction of their private characters by discoveries made or promulgated after thev become candidates. This is a matter which applies in greater or less degree to all citizens and all candidates, present and prospective, for all grades of public office, and the system adopted must be one of universal application. The decision of this question is of more moment to citizens and parties than the election or defeat of Mr. Cleveland. The private characters of candidates are not to be impeached and destroyed after their nomination. Their official records are open their private lives should be beyond the destroying touch of scandal hunters and scandal mongers, whofe work, when the campaign which incited their efforts is over, will be remembered only as a revolting stench in the public nostrils, humiliating to th9 de

feated and the victorious parties, and fastening upon American political life the stigiua of disgrace which has so largely made it an undesirable pursuit for the Deft brain and conscience of the country.

Ho. 912. Fifteen Dandles In Ambnsh. As almost every one has read the account of the battle of Waterloo, and as Wellington's name is as well known and, I might add, as well beloved as any in history, it seems almost useless to relate the following incident in connection with that memorable event, even though it is as well authenti cated as is the fact that the noble duke's welltried courage and skillful tactics were unequaled. It is stated that iu the thickest of the hgnt, and while the brave warrior was sweltering with the heat and faint with fa tigue, he begged oneof his soldiervo get him a mouthful of water. Jest as Wellington was in the act of raisin? the coveted beverage to his lips, a poor private, named James Weiland, lay gasping and looking with loving eyes at the water. Seeing this, Wellington bent over the poor fellow and poured the contents of the vessel into his parched mouth. The dying man's eyes glistened, bat tnougn his Heart swelled in gratiude be could utter so sound. A few minutes later and all that was mortal of James Weiland lay in the trenches, while the poor little fatherless Wellands were left to watch for the father who weuld never return. This act simple though it seems I think attests Wellington s nobility of character as well. if not better, than all the great achievements elliDgton's name is lamed for. M. J. W.

Charging on a Blackberry Patch Ben liar rison's Itegiment After Persimmons. flnter-Ocean. "It is wonderful how many incidents of army lite lie buried in a fellow's mind, until some trivial circumstance causes them to jump out of the rubbish of forgotten thing as good as new." So began a Grand Army friend, who had just returned from Minneapolis. "One evening we had huckleberries for dessert, and as I took the first mouthful an electric light flashed up in a hidden corner of my mind, and I saw clearly a picture, and began living over an ezperieuce I had not thought of for twenty two years. "When I entered the army I had never seen nor tasted whortleberries or huckleberries, and one day as we were moving forward as videttes or skirmishers in advance of the main army in Tennessee I had a surprise. We were beating tne woodt half a mile or s to the left of the main road to make sure that no rebels were lurking there, and were several hundred yards in advance of the center, meeting with some opposition on the oad. I was very much absorbed in the business on hand because I feared an ambuscade, but as we came into a sort of clearing I heard the man to my right say, 'Great Scott, look at that.' "Although there was a mouth-wateriness about the tone, I was a little startled at his exclamation, and was not a little confused when 1 saw the line of skirmishers break into groups, and the men grab with reckless and hilarious energy at the bushes in the foreground. I could not understand it until some fellow with his mouth fall mumbled 'Huckleberries, you fool,' and I was soon as busy as the rest. lie me ruber, we had not tasted fruit for months, and then you will understand me when I say those rich, deadripe huckleberries were to me the most delicious thing I had ever tasted. "We forgot all about the skirmish line, all about the desultory firing over on the right, all about the possibility of an ambuscade. We were like-half-starved men in the presence of tempting food, and were giving our whole attention to huckleberries, when the Major's voice rang out like the blast from a bugle, 'Lie down, men. blank you, lie down!' Down we went with mouths and hands full of huckleberries, just as a battalion of Confederates, who had slipped np on us quietly, fixed a volley. There we were

flat on the ground, among those bushes, choking with berries and excitement, and these fellows blazing away at us. "The Major had been in the business as deeply as ourselves, but, having more responsibility on his mind, had raised his head just in time to see the Confederate line getting ready to fire. The men had dropped at his command as though they had teen shot, and they lay still, not knowing what would come next. After the first volley there was an interval of silence; then we heard the voice of Captain 13., of the other battalion of our regiment, burst out: "Steady, now, left oblique, fire!" Then we understood iL The rebels had been so intent in taking us in out of the wet that Capt. Unsurprised at our quietness and marching to see what wai the matter, had slipped up on the Johnnies. As soon as we heard his volley we jumped ud with a common impulse and dashed forward. It wasn't much of a fight, but that was the first taste I ever had of huckleberries." "That reminds me," said an ex-soldier who hadn't been to Minneapolis, "of a little incident in my own experience. Oar captain was a straight up and down disciplinarian, and was always rushing us into a fight. One day, while in camp in West Virginia, he ordered the company formed to light fighting order, and coming out of hia tent placed himself at the head, and, without explanation, we marched away at a swinging quickstep. Scarcely a word was spoken during that march of three or four miles up a mountain road, but as the Captain directed the march along a bridle path, the boys nodded at each other as much as to say, "This means trouble for somebody." "We moved along this path until we came to a ridge. We skirted along the lower eJge of this until came the order to front face and deploy. We went up that hill stumbliHg over stones and briars, the Captain exerting himself to keep the line without a kink or a curve. Suddeuly he gave the order to hiU and to fix bayonets. The boys bean to think the old cod?er had lost his senses when he thundered out in measured tones: 'I call the attention of the men who have obeyed my orders so unquestioaingly that there lies not more than five paces in front sf them the finest patch of luscious blackberries I ever saw in my life. I discovered them yesterday, and after tasting them I resolved to make a Beeret raid. And here we are. The men will stick their riiks, bayonet down, in the ground, and proceed to pick and eat blackberries.' " "Another time the old fellow came into the company quarters with a call for volunteers for a tTcouting party. Every man volunteered, and we went racing ground the country for two or three hours. At last the Captain aiTected an air of mystery, and ordering that strict silence be maintained in the ranks, directed the march toward a somewhat pretentious residence, very pleasantly located in a grove. We moved in single file along a cow-path, close to a stone fence, and came out at a spring-house, at the foot of the hill on which tbe house stood. Here the line formed with the greatest care, and we were scarcely in order to suit the fastidious eye of the Captain when a lady came tripping down from the house. As she approached the Captain turned and saluted and then said: I believe, madame, you said you would have a churn full of buttermilk to place at my disposal to-day.' She had, and we had a jolly time in drinking it." "That was all right," drawled one of Ben Harrison's old regiment; "but I will bet $10 Captain Meredith, around the corner here, can't be hired to tell you of a little joke on our company. We were out on a scouting and foraging expedition south of Nashville, and about the time we were turning toward camp one of the most agile chicken appropriators in the command reported that the orchard of the large house, half a mile distant, was full of horses with saddles on. The Captain at once assumed tnat a company of rebel cavalry was having a good time at the house, and he determined to capture men and horses. We spent an hour creeping upon that orchard. There were the horses, sure enough, but they all had side-saddles on. "This puzzled us, and while we were discussing the unusual circumstance and considering the propriety of confiscating the old raw-bened animals, a group of ladies came down from the house to the orchard. They asked for the commander of tbe troops, and Meredith stepped forward. A good, oldfashioned, motherly woman then explained that they had oeen called together by a very interesting event. The baby was doing as well as could be expected in war times, but the mother was unduly nervous over the preseL.ce of blue coats in her orchard, and, under the circumstances, would the officer be kind enough to order hia men to retire? The Captain would, and he swore by the great horn spoon that if any of the men ever told the Btory he would have them shot. If he keep his promise I will leave this mundane Bpbere about breakfast time on Sunday morning." "I guess you won't be shot," said a slouchhatted bystander. "I was there myself. Eat don't you remember the time Ben Harrison made the boys climb down out of a Tennessee persimmon tree? There had been two or three little frosts, and the battalion was out on a scout when a potato prowler discovered a persimmon tree. The boys charged down on the tree like a lot of wild colts on a scamper, and tbe men first under the tree got all the ripe persimmons. The others teeirg the pleasure on the faces of those who had eaten, and not being well acquainted with the habits and character of the persimmon, began to climb the tree. In five minutes there were twenty men in the tree, and twice as many more under it, who had green persimmons in their mouths. "Just then Colonel Ben Harrison rode up, and, with some vehemence of manner, he ordered the men down. They came down with such a queer expression of countenance that the Colonel bethought him he had spoken too severely, and he began to say that, while he sympathized with them in their liking for persimmons, he must insist on discipline, lie could excuse them in this case because he would not object to biting a persimmon himself. One of the boys presented him a fine plump one as soon as the words were out of his mouth, and the Colonel bit into it with great confidence. Immediately his face took on a puckeredupneat not unlike that on the face of the men who bad clioibed the tree. He made no further remarks."

BENDRICKS AND LIN CO T.N. The Indiana Statesman Heartily Indorsed by tbe Firit Itepublicau President. To the Editor of the New York Sunday Mercury: Sir The bitterly partisan attacks made upon the war record of ex-Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, show a most lamentable ignorance of the real facta of the case upon the part of the politicians who made use of the trying scenes of the late war only to fnrther their own selfish ends. Facts speak louder than words in this ease, and the Democratic candidate for Vice President can atford to rest his reputation as a patriot upon the deliberate judgment of the first Republican President. Early in 18G2 I returned to Wasnington from Richmond, where I had been a prisoner of war since the first battle of Bull Run, with a parole to return in thirty days unlesj exchanged for a Confederate Major, then a prisoner in Fort Warren, near Boston. On reaching Washington I went at once to the office of the Secretary of War to make arrangemeats for my exchange with Major North. Secretary Cameron immediately telegraphed for the presence of General McClellan, and while conversing with these gentlemen the door opened and President Lincoln walked in. There was no chance of mistaking his features. Clad in black and wearing a high silk hat, his large frame loomed up to seemingly gigantic proportions, out all idea of ollicial formality was at e-nce banished by his kindly eyes and the pleasant smile of a face which was sadder when at rest than any I bad ever seen, and which even then seemed freighted with all the cares of oar troubled Nation. I remember rising to give him my chair, and that, with a kindly pressure of his hand upon my shoulder, be bade me keep my place, saying that I needed more rest than he did and that my ragged uniform entitled me to the chair. Some desultory conversation ensued, after President

Lincoln had said a few words in private to Secretary Cameron, and then the presence of Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, was announced. It was the day set apart for visits of Senators and Congressmen to the Departments, and I had been refused admission on this account until I had announced myself as a prisoner of war from Richmond. Senator Hendricks entered, dignified and impressive in his manners, and I had the honor of an introduction to him from the hands of President Lincoln. "I am glad in see Senator Hendricks," I remarked, "es I have a message to him from ome officers of the Nineteenth Indiana Regiment now in Libby Trison." At this Mr. Lincoln turned to the Senator, and laying his hand in a kindly way upon the shoulder of Mr. Hendricks, he said: "Mr. Hendricks is on the other side of the house politically, you know; but I have no truer friend in Washington, and he will do as much for the soldier and for his country as any man in Congress. You may take him on my indorsement." Such was the opinion entertained by Abraham Lincoln in regard to Mr. Hendricks. The incident and the earnest manner in which Mr. Lincoln spoke made a deep impression on my memory, and I have no doubt the occurrence can be attested by General McClellan and ex-Secretary Simon Cameron. Indeed, I have conversed with Mr. Cameron on the subject not long since. Mr. Lincoln, of course was not as far advanced in Republicanism as some mere modern partisans of that name, but it may have been dne to the fact that he lived in a ätate where John A. Logan had been advocating the hunting of fugitive slaves and bad deliberately prepared to raise a regiment of bis kidney to defend the South from invasion. Respectfully yours, John F. Mines, New York, July 26, 1881. Blaine and the British Minister. Blaine's face was beaming the other morning when he entered his office. It could easily be seen from the expression of his countenance that he had an idea. Tbe onice-boy was tbe only other person present, for it was not yet 10 o'clock, and the would-be. President was a full half hour earlier than usual. Jim had just fini&hed dusting the windowsills, and was arranging the papers on the desk. The idea was evidently too good to keep to himself, and he proceeded at once to take the boy into his confidence. "Jim," he said, slapping the boy on the back, "if I am elected President, when I go to Washington I am going to attend the British Minister's church.'' "Why?" said the boy. "Well, you see," said Blaine, "all the British papers in London and New York are on my side, and I thiuk it would be ungrateful in me not to recognize their services in some way. Now, all the week I will have to devote to fixing the boys in office: and Snnday is about the only time I will have to cultivate the English. You see I can drop in and hear the British Minister preach, and it will be telegraphed to London and Cork. But I hope his sermon will be short." Jim's features were iu a broad grin by this time, but he said nothing as he stooped down to pick up the cuspidor. "Yob are pleased with the idea, Jim, ain't jou?" said Blaine. 'Teople eay I am no statesman and have no knowledge of international affairs, but I guess I will show tbem a trick in diplomacy that will open their eyes." Washington Republican.

Yonr most valuable medicine (Swift's Specific) has done me so much good that I feel like saying this for the benefit of those who suffer like I did. I was poisoned by Poison Oak, and Raw not a well day for six years, until I used Swift's Specific In the six years 1 used almost every kind of medicine, but none had the desired effect. After using six bottles of Swift's Specific I am restored to perfect health with not a sign of that poison left! lohrs truly, DAVID N&3BITT. FOI80Z7 OAK. I had for thirty-elcht years suffered every spring and summer with Poison Oak, which I contracted in bathing when a boy. 1 tried everything for it, iucludinz many physicians, but without any benefit.
