Major Calkins opens the campaign at Richmond, to-day. He will visit Jasper county before tJi£ close of the campaign. Two Prohibition conventions were held at Indianapolis last Thursday. One of them was the, result of the sole labors of one M. E. Shiel, a life long’democrat, and, a man who, though editing a professed temperance paper, there is good grounds for believing is working for the democratic party. He claimed to have more than 30,000 signatures of voters to his call for a convention. Every effort made to induce him to exhibit these signatures failed. /That Mr. Dwiggins should have accepted a nomination from this convention, is a matter of the greatest surprise. He has been working with the republican party every since the opening of the campaign, at the beginning of the year. He attended the county mass convention iii February, was chairman of a committee which selected the delegates to the republican state convention, and which named him as one of the delegates. At the state convention lie was an active member. Was made a district vice-president, and even after the platform of resolutions had been adopted, he still continued to take a prominent part in the proceedings. Dark rumors regarding Mr. C leveland’s moral character have Lcen in circulation for many months. They have originated in Lio own town and among his own political compatriots. They have lately became so numerous, and seemingly based upon such direct and positive evidence, that we feel justified in publishing at least enough in regard to the matter to give our readers nh idea of their nature, and of the character of the knen who make them. When the editor of a prominent democratic paper, published in a neighboring town in Mr. Cleveland’s own state, resigns control of his paper during the campaign, and refuses to accept a nomination as a democratic elector, on the grounds that ho cannot support a “Moral toper” Tor president; and when eminent and highly esteemed ministers of the gospel, in Mr. Cleveland’s own U/m u, actively interest themselves,

in the interests of public morals, in making public the details of his alleged trimsgressious of the moral laws, it is neither possible nor proper for the press of the country to longer ignore the charges.
