How nsssy times must a inaa hear Lira self denounced in a court room as "a villain" and "a Ecoundrel" by a ball-dozins attorney before he knocks him down, or Otherwise resents the Insult? Dceisg the past twelve months 22,s0t families in the city of New York were evicted, tamed out upon the streets, because they could not Day their rent. That beats the record in Ireland ten to one. Tiiis will be the plan of the canvass of the Republican party this year: It will appeal to every rascal, adventurer and cormorant In the country. It will cfler premium on rascality and hnavery and theft. Seymour Democrat. The same old plan. Tbe New Castle Courier gives Ha3ton, his dog "Nero." and the Indianapolis Journal to understand that neither of them will be permitted to ran the Courier. As a consequence, the "literary bureau'' will not conduct the Republican county newspapers this year. The News of Saturday evening heralded Mr. Sullivan's chastisement of Sol. Claypool as "contemptible." Was it as "contemptible" as calling a man "a villain" in the crowded Federal Coart-ioom, where it was impossible to reseat the insult? Gexef.al Lonc.3trf.et immediately alter the close of the war joined the Republican party, got a fat olce. ana says he got enough to keep himself and wife, as long as they live, comfortably. lie is probably the lirsi Republican who ever got enough. Retorts come from Washington that the dignity of the Senate was recently rudely shaken by a United States Senator and a Representative from the House, because, while the Senate was in session, these gentlemen indulged in eating apples, and the statement is that the performance was entirely in-viol ai ion of the well known etiquette and digmty of the Senate. Too bad, entirely. While the laborer is spending; all of his labor his capital for the necessaries of life, the capitalist is f pending more than that amount for luxuries, and yet necesstriesare taxed with higher duties than luxuries. Still the laborer must give a part of his wages every year to make himsilf poorer and the rich richer. This is high protection. Evansville Tribune. That is the situation. The demand is first to get rid of our taxation, which i? simple robbery, and then adjust; the tax will le lightest on necessities and heaviest on Imune. It is the Democratic idea. It is honest, just, cou-atendable. Honest men favor the policy, and if kept before the people is certain to win. The people are honest. They want an hon"st Government, and they believe Cleveland is the man to give them that sort of a Government. B A. hi PAGING SOL. Sol Claypool will not thank his friends for intimating that he is a weak eld man, and therefore that ilr. Sullivan was very cowardly in his recent attack upon him. Why, the fact is well known that the old rooster prides himself on his poorer and fighting accomplishment". Never was there a more fully equipped Dor Quixote than old Sol. Hi3 friends say tha he will fight anything. fr:uu a buzz saw to a wind mill. Is it any wonder that he habeen in a continual Ton and on a chronic rampsge for the last twenty years? He ?nsuits witnesses and browbeats judges and jnries a regular old bulldozer. Some years ago he struck a brothsr 8 member of the bar with a chair, while two men held the latter. Old Sol is a stunner at tiat, sort of business. Think it over Striking a man with a chair under such circumstances. How lon has it been since he made an unwarrantable attack on Judge Taylor and threw an inkstand or some other miesile at Jonathan W. Gordon, and only the other day, as Albert Ayres came from the witness stand, did this bulldozing attorney tell him within a few feet o Judge Woods that he "lied like a dirty dog," or something similar. A lady ra narked when she read the account of Clay pool's insulting language and Sallivan's attack: "Oh, he should not have . spit in his face, but if I hal been Sullivan . J would have cowhided him." ' If old Sol's friends have no other card , , to .play Ethan invoke pity for him ; . Wcause of nla,age,vthey should take the . : oid mad aside and "tell him to quit his roarse and vulgar abuse while protected by the presence of a court. Men do not like io be called villains. If he prides himself tn Lis courage and pugilistic accomplishi sects,' he should be brave enough to insult Ktntlemen to thelx faces and - in places where they could knock him down 11 THE VERDICT. The verdict rendered by the jury in the tally sheet case is probably the most re-M markable on record. - It Is pronounced by jurors, whose' 8 worn duty it was to render a verdict according to the law and the testimony, "compromise verdict." 'A cotiprombe verdict, where life or liber!y are - involved, is no verdict at all, or it is a ver- ': diet that outrages all sense c juerfoet It i is a shameful travesty of justice. ' It has ' no one ingredlent'of justice.' The verdict t by which Messrs. Coy and Bernharaer were found guilty reduces the trial to a V(to a Jricr ajche&t a:fraudj ; ft is at Q3cesahm aixlaj aihatie.1 Thp'rs ip not n element Of honor fn It,1 .It brings reproach npon law. courts, justice and truth .'A mo.ii disgraceful proceeding was never V heard Of, It is elated that Republican . jurors entered into an agreement with "Democratic-jurors, that they would acquit . Mattier, if they, the Democratic j uron, -worHd, ßofUKnt. . .to? 'Conviot f f Coy , jud Tefnhafcler, Juii ; Jurors dechuirg .that Vtbink-" of ' It. ceo art nil 'aUtj, ethers believing aH are guilty.

Now for the compromise: If those believing all are innocent will consent to pronounce two guilty, those who believe all are guilty will consent to Bay one Is not guilty. A more infamous proceeding was never heard of; a more diabolical conspiracy was never formed. Again, In the jury room Republicans seemed to be In collusion with the Government oScials. They proposed to the Democratic jurors if they would consent to convict Mattier, his penalty would b9 simply a fice, and they, the Republican jurors, would raise the

money themselvss to pay the fine. They said the Judge in LI attler's case would im pose on!y a light fins. And now for the essential cu3sedness of th9 proceeding:' Every juror fcal the impression that If Judge Woods could g-it h:s judicial clutches on the iadictod men, tnoy would simply be Seed, and that no imprisonment wsul'd attach: and one juror who voted for conviction finally said he never would have cast his voie for conviction if he had known that the convicted men could be sent to the penitentiary. The question arises, did the Govern meet othci&ls have an understanding with the Republican jurors in the matter of a com promise verdict? Were Republican jurors commissioned to assure "Democrats that the penalty wasonly to be a fine? It is well understood that lb.-? orders c! the jury were Republicans, and that they used their opportunities to convince Democrats that Judge Woods wou'.d ba lenient. It was the old song of the spider to (he fly. It was deception, fa!sehooJ, and it succeeded, Rut when the facts are known, can such a verdict stand? Is it a verdict founded upon law, upon fac ? Is It not a verdict brought f.bout by fa'eehood, by misrepresentation, by totally Ignoring the law and the testimony ? THE CHARGE OF JÜDG3 WOOD3. The charge of Jcde Woods to the jury, in the tally steet cno against Ccy, BernLanier and Mattier, is a remarkable document as it appeared in print not remarkable lor legal learning, because it is entirely innooent of anjtLUig of that sort. It is remarkable for length cot f'.r words fitly spoken, which are "like apples of silver In pictures of gold," but more like brick-bats thrown by some irata mobocrat at the object of his vengeance. Those who read the proceed in ce of the trial which resulted in the conviction of Messrs. Coy and Bernhnaer, or who witnessed the proceedings from end to end, will doubthss be impressed with the fact that Jadee Woods, as well as Messrs. Sellers and C'aypool, was engaged" for the prosecution, and to read hi3 charge dispassionately, will doubtless rivet the conviction upon their minds, Jud,.;e Woods tells the jury that it is bound to accept his definition of law; but that his opinions with regard to facta are simply advisory. Ee ha?, it eeems, a riht to inject theai into th minds if the jury and most cer tainly Le did ir;jeet them aad ccrulDgfroni the Rt.cn, it h qni'e '.ikely they Lad a weight and iiillance that otherwise they Would not have possessed; and if he left anv tiling una'ten Jed to calculated to tecure conviction, the discovery of such om'siioa will require a search wa:raut. In the beginning of his charge, Judge Woods said : In this court you are bound b7 the instructions of the judge in respect to purely law qutsiioEs, snd in respect to q'jstions of fact the judge has more discretion than is accustomed to be exercised or, indeed, is proper to be exercised by the State jadt:? iu the wy of advising a jury, thongh bit-fcvt-r the judge may say in respf-nt ti Rtiy qcpi-lion of fuct is only n-1:sorv, and sbuu'd ii liaence you only to fir a3 it may command iJselt to j onr judgment. Tak:ng this for his text, the Jiiire delivered to the jury a harangue; which, froni first to last, was a plea for conviction. Neither Sellers nor Claypool, whose duty it was to prosecute in the came of the Government, exhibited a more vindictive spirit. It was expscted of ths authorized attorneys of the Government that they would exhaust their resources of law and learning to secure conviction. Their brad and butter is earned in that way. Claypool was rot so much an agent of the Government as he was of Ritter, that ?ni px-,; critter. ho, to class as a reptile, would suggest an apolosy to all the serpents that ever crawltd with faegs in the'.r mouths or rattles on thtir tails. Cut Claypool, who is master of the vocabulary of billingsgate, as was shown in his denucintion of John C. New in the bank cas, ried in the courts in 1SS", was a worthy sociale of Sellers, and a worthy associate of old Rill Henderson, whose fitness for s public trust was eternally settled by the illustrious Hendricks. It was expe:ted :iiat this brace of worthies, Sellers and Claypool, whose bread and outter was at stake, would heek to convict, but it was not required it was not law, it was not decency, that Judge Woods should turn prosecutor, that he should soli his ermine by a course which places a Judge in a position so humiliating, so degraded that every honorable man would blush to contemplate his degeneracy. But that is just what Judge Wood 3 did. Us not only atated the law (?), as was his duty to state it, but he transformed himself into a prosecutor, which the law does not contemplate. From the bench he thundered forth law, he tortured facts, he braided, twisted and inter-twisted law and facts, conclusions and theories into a bewildering mass of sophism, such legal (?) jugglery, such labyr.inthian sophisms, that which, having the appearance of fairness, had for their purpose conviction regardles3 of law, guilt Or, testimony. The infamous organization feown 'as the "Committee of One Haadred," that never sought to convict an IndiCiEd' J'epublicaa in the United Statas Conrtor any other court, is mostartistIclly tfMte'washe'd by Judge Wood3. In this attempt to white ash this comm'.ttee, the Jndge is aadly unfortunate. He refers to A statute -permitting citizens to organize for the detection and conviction of horse thieves, but the statute does not proride that only Democratic horsa thieves shall be hunted down. The Committee of One Jlundred, . like so many hounds, pursued Democrats, never turning theix attention ' to Republicans, and, Strangs 'to aaji the District Attorney, Mr. Sellers eems to have been Inoculated

with the same virus. Ritter and old Bill

Henderson asd Coffin were after Damocrats, and yet, this committee is made to appear as a set of sublimated scalawags from whose warty hides angel wing3 are eprouting, and oll Ritter, who bargained with Perkins to swear away the liberties of honest men, receives the court's high indorsement. Rut to make the charge to the jury insufferably odious, the case of Carnaban, the Republican indicted for a crime by the United States Grand Jury as infamous as that for which Coy, Bernhamer and tbe other Democrats were Indicted, is brought forward, and the '.Republican criminal i3 made, by a process of hocus pocus, as some sort of a reason for convicting Democrats. To seek to circumvent a Republican rascal's crime is made to appear as a crime. To preserve the purity of an election from the machinations of a Republican indicted for the crime, is made by Judge Wood3 to appear as a conspiracy by Democrats, and this sort of a stump speech, on the part of the Judge, goes to the jury as a part of his charge. But it will be noticed that Judge Wcods pats in a plea for Perkins, It Is cot surprising. When Terkins had achieved immortal infamy, when his character was black with crime, when he hud T70U hell's highest diploms, he went straightway into the Republican patty, and Judge Woods, in his c 'f.rcp, comes to tbe rescue of Perkiasand wants to know what motive Perkins could have for telling a lie. As well ask what motive Jude Wcol3 could have for becoming the tpologkt of Terkina. Perkins h&d tsrga'.ned to damn his soul with perjury if he could escape the penitentiary, and that was ciotiva enough. He was ready to swear, and though it w&3 proven time and again that he was a liar, Ju Je Woods would have him regarded by the jury as a ran WuO lud in tnur presence witliout a motive. This insufferable scoundrel had agreed to swear Coy into tbe penitentiary, if he could, and yet he i$ not only used lor such a damnable purpose: but ho Is referred to by Judge Wo 0 J3 as a witntEs without a motive, or a witna33 with a righteous motive. Such is an outline 0 the charge of Judg Woods. His duty was to state the law; with that he should have ben content, Sellers and Claypool were paid by the Government to state the facta to present the testimony. This they did with such ability as they could command, and in addition to their harangue. Judge Wood3 comes ia, aad, from the bench, makes a pla for conviction, and this the jury doubtless accepted, whether he referred to the low or the facts as in soma way mandatory, and the verdist, which outrages lav and facts, was the result.

With a voice full of emotnn Mr. Rreckenridgq thanked the audience for so unexpected a greeting to one who was almost a stranger to a Pniladelphia audience.

He has do imagination or sentiment, and bis policy will not be sensational or starting, but if he keep3on as he has begun, hi adaulsistratiun will grow in popular favor. He is self-possessed and confiJeat, st d exhibi's no perturbation or timidity. Good homor prevails, though there is much Inaudible grumbling among Daaiocrats at the delay in "turning the rascals out." But it Cleveland can stand the racket for the next twelve months, he will bring his party to its knees arid become a strong Wder. He has a great opportunity and evidently intends to improve it.

Ths Eist Eu Tiste of Northveittra Expsrisics Willi Slow Blcckiias. Railroads Take a Vacation on Account of UiS Wrirta and II ich Winds-Two Miles an Hour Kaplt Traveling, New York, January 27. The storm of night before last and ysterday wasmo?t severe in the Mohawk Valley. The New York Central abandoned all its trains on tbe Hudson river division at G o'clock last night on account of the snow blockade. The wind, whicü blew at aixty miles an hour, swept the light snow across the tracks in such quantities that resistance to it was useless. TLe snow was no sooner cleared away by gangs of laborers than it covered the tracks again. There were three passenger trains stalled in the snow between Albany and New Y'ork. and fully a score of freight trains. The company announces that it will have tbe snow blockade raised as soon as the high wind subsides, and it expects to start the Chicago limited this morning as usual at 0:50 o'clock, and other trains thereafter as nscal. The Chicago limited express over the New York Central arrived this morning thirteen hours late. The Michigan Central, due at 9:30 last night, bad not arrived at noon, but was expected Eoon. The St Louis limited over the Er e road reached Deposit at 5 o'clock this moraine, and at noou was in a snow bank one mile east of that point. The Erie officials refuse information in regard to the condition of the road. A milk famine is threatened. The milk trains over many of the roads are buried in snow drifts with the contents of the cans frozen solid. Sixty cars leaded with milk are snowed in near Middletown. The milk trains over the Pennsylvania road are the only trains ia today. Ia the Interior of New York. BiNuflAMi'TON. X. Y., January 27.

The Pennsylvania railroad express train No. 9, d'e ia this city at 8 a. m., was snowbound oa the Allegheny Mountains th.s morning. The first train from the east did not arrive in the city until about 11 o'clock. An attempt was made to rnn an 6xtra train from Uarrisburg last night, for the double purpose of clearing the tracks and affording ths accommodation to a number of passengers, wko were anxious to reach Pittsburg very early this morning, but the train did not get through. The snow i3 from one and abalf to two feet deep, and at places Is drifted to euch an extent that the eaf;ines cannot push through it. A larae orce of men was put to work, but the high wind caused the snow to drift again almost m rapldlj M it ifM cleirel irr.

Trains on the Allegheany Valley road are also more or less delayed by the snow. ' Fort Wayne trains were an hour and a half late, there being almost two feet of snow west of Crestline. The Baltimore and Ohio express trainB were about half-hour late. The snow is quite heavy on the mountains, but is not drifting to any extent. The trains on the Tan Handle road were on better time than was expected, none of them being more than fifteen minutes late. Mexico's New Loan. City op Mexico, January 27. The loan of 10,500,000, which the National Congress authorized President Diaz to negotiate, has been consummated through the German financier, Herr Bücheroeder, under the following terms: The German house will take 3,000,000 of these bonds immediately at seventy cents on the dollar; the rate of excharge on London will be 43 l-5d,to equal a Mexican dollar; accordingly, : 3,000,000 Will equal $20 000,000, which at seventy cents will produce $14,000,000. Herr Blicherceder has the option of taking the rest of the loan within ninety days at eighty-six cen ts, snd will probably s e cure it, E J ward Noetzlln, the banker through whom tbe loan was negotiated, left on this evening's train.

THE WEEK'S TRADE. It. (. L'un & Co'a Reriew ot the Uusiness Oatlook. New Y'ork. January 27. R. G. Dun & Co., In their wtekly review of trade, say: Business, both domestic and foroigo, has a more encouraging appearance. Money is reported close at a very fw distaat point?, but comnaratively env every wf ere else, and collections are fair In a!I qrtr, with substantial improvement where tardiness has been observed. The volume of business has been affected by storms and the blockading of railways, but 13 generally fair for the sca3on, and exchanges outside of New Y'ork are 3.7 per cent, larger than for the same period last year. It i a decidedly healthy symptom that there 13 general absorjce of speculative excitement, and prices of products are in most caaes settling toward a more ratrijal level, though the average ia f'-.viutd by thi. scarcity of anthracite c-', the scanty sajfply of vegetables and the advance in cotton goods. Foreign trade in December was much more favorable than early statements indicated, the decrease in exports of cotton. breadstuSs and provisions being partly talaccsd by the increase In cattle, petroleum and minor articles. The excess of exports over imports of merchandise, $21,13u,7o3 for the month, with outgoing silver exceeding incoming gold by $'570,030, indicates a withdrawal of capital exceeding by I12.0C0.000 tbe average required for interest payments and undervaluations, but for tbe past six months receipts of foreign capital bve apparently exceeded withorawals by $C5.000.000. The returns for January thus far indicate an increase of 5 per cent. ai.d the imports at New Y'ork thus far show an increase of 11 per cent. As the exports exceeded imports by $20.CH.0 OuO last January, these reports point to a continued, though smaller excess. Iron is perceptibly sustained in price for the time, by the enforced curtailment of production, but the feeling prevails that resumption of work in the coal mines may be followed by lower prices cf iron. Ia ail branches of this great industry the decrease in railroad demand is felt. The sncces3 of the Afcbi?on and soma other railroad companies in plkcing loans, and the recent in-'prcving demand for bonds, do not alter the fact that eh1?3 of securities to actual investors continue much behind these of corresponding weeks last ysar. A bitter tone ia the E':ock market L&s been observed for two days, bat tbe busimss is s:id mauily Isft to epeculators, 8iiJ the iaabiiity of promec-s to place securities may retard nev railway buildir.cfor Borne time to corn?, though current rf ports show lare gross earnings.

A PITTSBURG BLAZE. Heavy Loss In a Fire 'Which Firemen fight Almost In. aiu. Pittsbcp.o, January 20. A defective r'ae In tLe four stor? building of C G. Hus3ey, No. 42 Fifth avenue, occupied by Urllng A Sons, merchant tailors, and Heren Broa , n: an u facto ring jewelers, resulted in a fire this morning, which burned fiercely for efsbt hours, and occasioned a loss of i3(.'0,000. Fe a half hour after baing discovered it d d not look ns if it would do tnuchtlamste. Brfore it was gotten under control, tin cemmunicatirg building, oc cupitd by William Haslage A Sons, whola sale crocer8 and fancy goods etor?. had been included fn the pecer&l destruction, neighboring buildirgs delaged with water snd a block full of paople tieated to a night of terror. About 1 alf pest 3 o'clock this morning a policrrcan passing down Fifth avenue notictd smoke ar.d tUmes issuing from the windows of the UIicg building, and ga7e the alarm. The department responded promptly, and for a time it was thought tLe names cuuld be controlled, but before 4 o'clock they broke out with fury, and a few minutes later the fire was in almost every part of the baildinj. A general alarm was ttea sent In, and the firemen were toon hard at work. In the meantime ths. fismes continued to spread until it appesndas though the entire block would La destroyed, and the people living on Diamond street, in the rear, began to move ont. Chief Evans sent word to Allegheny for asi stance and two companies promptly iffrorded. but before tbey got down to work.lhe fire was communicated to Haslage & Son's grocery, the rear of which reached to the Urling building. The inflammable material in the Haslage building aided the fire in getting the better of tte firemen, but the latter worked heroically, notwithstandirp: the extreoia cold.

Findicg that it was impos sible to save the burnning building?, they turned tbeir ftlention to adjoinging property and in this way succeeded in keeping the fire fromr spreading, although considerable damce was done from water. By 7 o'ciock tbe fire was under control, but it continuei to burn fiercely until noon.

THE WELLINGTON WRECK. All tbe Men In tbe att Slope Killed by tbe Explotion, Wellinotoh, B. C., January 25, vis Victoria, January 20. The exploring party at the Dunsmuir collieries worked all Tuesday night, divided into three shifts, and that under Foreman Haggert penetrated into the east slope. They located a number of bodies of whites and Chinese. It was not until about 2 this afternoon, however, that the work of bringing the bodies to tha surface was begun, and as one cage was in wcrking order after the start was made, this proceeded very rapidly. In a little over an hour's time the bodies of seven white men and eight Chinese had been rsised to the surface. The bodies were all mangled and blackened beyond recognition, and the only means of knowing the unfortunate victims' names were the stalls snd points at which they were found. The bodies were carefully wrapped in blankets and tied so as to screen them from head to fect, and as one reached the surface it was plf ced on a stretcher and two men carried this to sleighs in waiting, which conveyed them to where they were laid out for reclr mstion or burial. The bodies of the wLIte men were placed in the carpenters' shop of the Railroad Company, while thoso of the Chinamen were'lail ia the store-room of the blacksmith shop. i; very possible assistance wts rendered by Mr. Dunsmuir, who was present oa the ground, in order that the work of recovery might be hastened, while his officials did a 1 that was in their power to assist In tLe work. There were not more thah 100 men and no women around the shaft - ng the afternoon, and the melancholy t s proceeded with regularity and quiet. T . report in e irculaüon during the day t r many more t-erithed than those named Tesv-rnay'b le tgram is hippily untrue. T e dispatch stut Tuesday niht is about c re;i. Evtrv per3ca in the east slope, r!: n the exploaibn occurred, wis killed. 'i. ths wi-i slope the explosion did not pe.etra-e further than to make a severe u.stio:'.' whirh Effected some severely, bi: . the after-danip'rushed in. However, by tli.; presence of mind exhibited in immediately repairing the fan, tbe air current wr s restored and many lives save 1, Tais is attested by the recovery of a largs number who were prostrated by the after-damp, but who subsequently recovered consciousness and cme to the foot of the shaft. Ihe irquest will be held by Dr. Walker. Tbe reports tfc at a man bad fallen from the wire rope and been killed is incorrect. Samuel Davis did let go his hold whan art way up, but did not fall. HU boo, lijah, twenty -two years old, was killed In the last 6lope. Great praise is due the n.anager and his efficient staff, each of whom tad charge cf a searching party. The residtlcs3 Lrce of the explosion is proved by the manner in which the eightitch pipes were Enapped in two. Heavy timbers were reduced to splinters, while one of the iron cages was blown completely out of the shaft. A Belgian miner was stripped of every vestige of clothing, v hile tbe mutilation of the bodies proves tl at the terrible force played with them as with feathers. At 9 tonight (Wednesday), after the cLange of shift, eighteen white mtn and twenty-two Chinese bau been taken out of tbe pit, while seven more bodies had been found and taken to ths bottom of the shaft. There yet remain thirteen whites and nineteen Chinese in the mine. Jsmes Morrison was omitted from the former report, mating the total number cf white men perished in the east level thirty-one, and Chinese-for'y one. The following are the narresof the eighteen white men taken out: Robert Williams, R. Greenwell, Ali xsndfrKoss, R. McDonald, John S'nart, Jehl Ness, Joan Marshall, John Wall, ell married. John Jonss, woo hr.s a w:fe end two chilir?i, John Bclogn, wifa; vn. Harm, wife Jacob He&n, wiff ; Wm. Wiike3, wife and four children; Frank McCoy, unmarried; Valeria nd two Belgians, corcpiete the comber. Xne bodies of the white miner? are beixrg washed and prepared far bari jI. These btloDgiDg to tbe Masons, Odd Fe!lows rnd other Bocietfts have bren takan in charge by thc&e orders, while others will te taten to their late homes. Ail the ccllierif s of tbe Vancouver Coal Company and the Wellington collieries have been clo&sd since the accident. AtlO::;.ip m., four more white men were brought up.

About LrnCins In.iiauians. Washington. January 2?. Specia1. Congressman Holmen is six-y-six years of 8:e." Kis hair nd whusers are whitening vry fiist, and his features begin to look time wim. especially after a hard day's bout in Congress. A look, however, into the old Roman's eyes reveal the fact that tl.ey have lost notning of their brilliancy. No man in Congress has made a better record than the "Great Objector." It is well knewn that he has saved millions to the government as a member of the Appropriations Committee, and nowhere in the records cf Congres3 h3 he been found voting for any of the 4,jobaM that were so pievulentin other days. Ex-Consreesman John E. L'imb is in the city thskir.g hands with bis numerous friends. John is thoroughly imbued with the idf a that the Democracy of Indiana wiil win a grand victory this fall. Congrc ssmun Shively is said to be tbe best lookirg man in the Indiana delegation. He is a great favorite with tbe Ind tianB located here. Hon. D. F. Mustard and wife, after a tbrte weeks' visit among friends ia this citv, will return to tbe'r home in Anderson, Ind., next Tuesday. Mrs. Mustard was very much delighted with her visit at tLe White House aud the cordiality with which the President and Mrs. Cleveland receive visiters. This, howeve-, Is the minion of all visitors to the Executive Mansion. Captain E. J. Smith, of Connersrille, is in the city. He has passed the civil service examination, and may possibly apply for a position InFonie of the departments. Tke Captain is a Democrat, and reports that every Indication in his section of Indiana points to Democratic success tbis fall. Hon. C. A. Taulkner, cbier of the resord division in the Pension Office, has returned to duty after a two weeks' stay in the Wet. He reports the Democrats of Indiana in lire, and predicts a sweeping victory for his party in that State this fall. Senator Frye Heard From. Washington, D. C, Jan. 23. Special. Senator Frye, of Maine, haa teen heard from. He is a "downeaster" Republican and wants a high tariff tax, of course. In a recent speech in the Senate, the Maine statesman said: "President Cleveland has thrown down the gauntlet of free trade with a thin veneer of dt;;uise, but too thin to deceive." Certainly Senator Frye is not deceived. The President wants lower taxation, which the Senator does not want, because tbe manufacturers of the East have grown rich off of the Western farmers by the protection laws enacted by such as Frve. Yes, President Cleveland has thrown down tte gauntlet to these fellows, and thid to them in substance, "you must ceaie robbing tbe people."
