A NEW FEATURE.

The Malt Introduces a new feature -with this week's Issue. Political gossip is always enjoyable, and ©specially will this be so for the next eighteen months while Indiana is in the throes of the most stupendous campaign its parties ever knew. A chatty letter from Indian* spoils, telling tales from out of school, and dishing up political chow-chow in a manner to interest Republicans, Democrats and all other parties, will appear from time to time, It will not be a rehash of other writer's correspondence, but will be newsy, orisp and palatable.

THE

.1'

Harvey-Horr debate IS over, and

it is to be regreted that Thanksgiving is so far away that the president cannot issue a Thanksgiving proclamation.

No wonder there is trouble over the political outlook in Kentucky. At a receiver's sale in the Lexington this week whiskey sold for thirty-two oents a gallon, which is enough to provoke trouble of a great many kinds in that community.

OUT

in Oklahama the Populists are

still raging, and the oouuty committee of that party in Guthrie has read two Populist county commissioners out of the party because they took the county printing away frmn the Populist paper for oharging eighty per cent, higher rates than those allowed by law. If this isn't a complete lecture on populism there was never one i?lv«n.

New York, where the saloons have been undergoing a course of drastic treatment similar to that outlined by our Nicholson law, which has never been enforoed, they have coined a new word to express the closed up condition existing there on the first day of the ,, .week. They say that New York is "Roosevelted," which is certainly as seemly a word as "Boycotted."

SOMH

'S§

§C

men have more troubles than

.others, as witness the efforts of the president's fool friends In trying to boom trfhim for a third term—and they will just 'v about convinoe him that the true and only salvation of the country at large, and that of the Democratic party, depends upon him taking the race for a third term. And then what a rude awakening the idea of November, 1896, will bring him.

THR

reform Democrats In Maryland

made a determined fight this year against the "gangsters," who are under the lead of Senator Gorman, but the latter won, as overy one expected. Now, to show that they were only joking about the matter, and Indulging In that peouliar southern characteristic, a ••bluff," the reformers will turn In and help Gorman elect his ticket, which of course is what every one expects.

THKRB

evidently isn't a very large

Irish vote In New Mexico, which is olamorlug for admission to the union as a state. The delegate to Congress from that territory, and a candidate for senator in case it is admitted, says he would rather have Mexicans for workmen than Irishmen, because they never shirk, never strike, and never get into a row, which is a sure proof that he hasn't many natives of the Emerald isle among his constituents.

THR

horrible crime* oommitted in the

Emanuel church in San Francisco have been made the aubjeot of a play sooalled, in that city, but the oity authorities will not permit its production on the stage there, although it was attempted one night this week. The alleged actors were arrested, but it does not appear that the police did their full duty, or they would have arrested the spectators as well. Those who want to complain of the degeneraoy of the stage should complain also of the degeneraoy of the people who patronise such grewsome performances. Without the patronage at the box office suoh horrible play* this oould not be produoed, and the blame attaches chiefly to those who attend.

THR

Democrats are going to force the

silver question over in Illinois, where they ere called on to vote for a congressman this fall to fill a vacancy mused by death. The district is ordinarily Democratic, but last fall it went tho other .way, and a Republican was elected.

The next congress Is so overwhelmingly Republican that the loss of one Democrat will not out much figure, and so the leader* of the party are going to have the silver question settled by an elec tlon, in, one Instance at leant. The single standard Democrats will noml nate a candidate, aajwill the free eliver faction, and with this division the Re publicans will stand a very good ohanee

4 TEKRE HAUTE

of suooess. It pretty hard to see what advantage the Democrats can gain by suoh a division in the party, but the leaders profess to believe that such an election will be of great benefit to them In showing just how the majority of members of that faith really stand ou the aubjeot of gold vs. silver.

FROM THE CAPITA

A Gossipy Letter from Indianapolis R«K*rd«ng the Political Outlook In the City Cainpatffu There, Which May Uevelop

Several Candidate* for Governor Next Year. Special Correspondence,

INDIANAPOLIS,

August 2d.—We are in

the throes of a political campaign here. On the 8th of October another Mayor and oity officers of Indianapolis will be ohosen.

say another mayor, for it is

generally understood that the present mayor will not stand as a candidate again. Mayor Denny has made an ex ceedingly capable and vigorous mayor, It is well understood, though, that he could not be re-elected if given the chance. He has done what "Teddy" Roosevelt is doing in New York, and while Indianapolis has a larger proportion of strait-laoed people thao Gotham has, yet the balance of power does not lie with the Denny stalwarts.

Did you ever see Denny He reminds one a little of "Governor" H. Olay Evans of Tennessee. They are both Inclined to be of the silk stocking variety both qnlte proud of themselves and both having enthusiastic followers. While Clay Evans' supporters from Tennessee are talking their man for President of the United States, Denny's men have only got as far as governor of Indiana with their hopes. But the liberal element of the Republican party at the capital are against Denny, at all times. As one travelling man put it to me at the Bates House last night, "Cale Denny has shut this town up so tight you can't get ice water after 11 p. m. without' a prescription from a doctor." The sporting men have more to do with politics than most people think.

The Republican machine here at Indianapolis has picked up "Pres." Trnssler as the favorite In the race for the mayoralty. Trailer is one of the boys." No expression has escaped his lips as to his attitude on the "closing" question, yet every sport in town is for Truster, as between the Republican candidates, lie would get the nomination by acclamation if it were not for the fact that he was an ardent anti-Har-rison man and openly boasted a few years ago of voting against Ben Harrison for president. Trusler cannot afford to deny this accusation, as his faction contains some very strong anti-Harrison men, so he just plods along picking up a supporter and setting up the pins for a delegate there. He is a thorough-bred politician, and doesn't tell all he knows. The workers and heelers of the party are all for him. I talked with one of them to-day. He is an Irish Republican, who was a candidate for office here, and while he is for Trusler, yet he said to me in a low scared whisper that he was "afraid the Harrison people would knife Trusler." Then I met one of the regular Trusler men, and he pooh-poohed at the idea of such a dignified man as exPresident Harrison stooping to fight "Pres." Trusler for mayor. Besides that, my informant told me, Trusler was repentent for his sin in voting against Harrison and a truce would be patched within thirty minutes after Trusler's nomination.

Tom Taggart seems to be bigger than the Democratic party just now. As irresistible as a tidal wave, his boom for a nomination for mayor of Indianapolis moves on. The only man who really won't get out of the way is Edwin St. George Rogers (who by the bye, oomes from your own Terre Haute) and with feet planted firmly and with a phalanx of Democrats behind him, the noble St. George announces that he is a "stayer." Taggart doen't say anything. Hedoesn't have to. He is as good as nominated already and all that bothers Mr. Taggart is how to soothe St. George after the convention for it is plain to be seen that the gentlemen from Terre Haute (formerly) is working himself up to a fever heat, and that Taggart's nomination will not be swallowed as if greased. The Indiana State Democracy is behind Tom Taggart. He will be nominated for governor of Indiana if he is elected mayor of Indianapolis and may run for governor even If he is defeated for mayor. In fact, Mr. Taggart is the Democatio idol. He is a combination of David B. Bill and Richard Croker only he is a better man than either of them. The only real opposition Tom Taggart will have in his race for mayor will come from the different ward heelers of Indianapolis who have been given back seats lately. The machine last week developed a plan by which the ward committeemen were to be appointed by the city chairman, taking their selection oat of the hands of the ward primaries. That was a stunning blow to the heeler. "Othello's occupation's gone." Capt. Jas. B. Curtis, the dandy looking young lawyer who commanded the Indianapolis light artillery to a 12,000 price victory at St. Loo is several weeks ago, has been chosen chairman of the Democratic oity committee, and will proceed to fill np the committee with Taggart partisans, and as a worker toid me, "any odder bloke won't get a smell." f||

Old Uncle Uriah Culbert, of Miohlgan City, dropped down on us last week, and he was kept busy ail of one sitternoon shaking hands with Republicans he had forgotten and Democrats he never knew. Mr. Colbert was a member of the last legislature from Indiana's only lake port, and as Uncle Uriah pats it himself, be got everything be went after except the scalp of the Nicholson bill. Ha was elected to oust Warden French from the northern penitentiary.

vl-P

That was accomplished but when the job was finished, the Michigan Oity politicians were so wind-broken that they fell down on their candidate for French'* place and Senator Jonathan Crura packer of La ports was beaten by Charley Barley, the Delphi statesman, And then Culbert was also elected to obtain a Superior oourt for Michigan City. After a bitter fight, he succeeded In winning a joint court with Hammond and Valparaiso. But in all this melee, the Nicholson Indian got away, and all the doughty Colbert could do was to join in a sort of a snake dance and tell what he would do with Nicholson if he ever come to the oity at the foot of Lake Michigan.

By the way, Mr. Culbert is the idol of the Michigan oity Republicans, and it is believed that he will be nominated for the atate senate to succeed Mr. Crum paoker. Mr, Culbert is a very rioh man having had large government contracts. He was bidding all of his Indianapolis friends a good bye, preparatoiy to bis starting to British Columbia, where he is a large owner in paying gold mines along the Fraaer river. He is well liked here, and his career as a legislator is remembered as that of a man who was open and consistent. Although an ardent partisan, yet he was always fair, and would talk as freely with Democrats as Republicans.

Ex Senator Jonathan W. Crum packer, of LaPorte, whom I have referred to, wanted to be warden of the state prlsoxi at Michigan City, and was in considerable of a "huff" when beaten. Of late, however, it is reported here that he has consented to recant bis Vow to stay out of politics hereafter, and will allow his friends to present his name for lieutenant governor next year. The story must be a canard, for no politician ever announces himself for tbat office. They always pretend to be candidates for governor, with the lieutenancy "on the side" as the drinker takes his seltzer.

HAWK-EYE.

MR. M'KEEN'S CANDIDACY.

Chicago Paper Gives the Terre Man

Mr. McKeen began life for himself when eighteen years of age. He began as a clerk in the office of one of the county officers in his native county. Afterward he became clerk in the old state bank of Terre Haute, Ind., and rose in the service of tbat institution till he was made cashier. Both as a banker, (he owns a bank In Terre Hante at present time) and as a railroad president Mr. McKeen is a model business man. He numbers his friends by the thousand and is it entirely within bounds to say that among all classes he is the most popular citizen in that goodly little city.

But it is as a probable successor to Senator Voorhees that Mr. McKeen is now prominent in Indiana. He is an ardent Republican and has stood high in the councils of the party for a score of years. He has always been liberal in subscribing to campaign funds and has devoted his time, precious and valuable, to his party's cause. He might have been elected to the senate in 1887, and several times he oould have been the Republican candidate for governor for the asking, but his time was so much taken up by the exactions of his railway work, and influenced, too, by the fear that it might be said that he scoured the position through the power of his wealth, he always refused. Since that time, however, the Yandalia line has been leased to the Pennsylvania and while atlll president Mr. MoKeen's duties do not require so much of his time. His friends now hope that he will oonsent to allow himself to stand as a candidate for senator to succeed Mr. Voorhees. Terre Haute is the home of Senator Voorhees, also, and he and Mr. McKeen have long been the best of friends.

In case Mr. McKeen is a candidate, his election will depend on the political color of the legislature to be elected a year from this fall. The present legislature is Republican by a large majority and unless the state tarns political summersault the snoceedlng one will also be from that party. In tbat event it could do no more worthy aet than to honor the state of Indiana and compliment Mr. McKeen by sending him to the United States senate.

'•Equity," an Independent weekly newspaper of Chicago, in its issue of July 20tb, uses the following language concerning the proposed candidacytof W. McKeen for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Voorhees:

About tue "whitest" railroad in the wuntry is the Varidalia whose main line runs from Indianapolis to St. Louis, and with branches from Terre Haute to St Joe, Mich., and from Terre Haute to Peoria. In all the labor troubles which have harrassed other roads, causing

IOSR

of business and no end of bad feeling among the men, the Yandalia has had no strikes. Its etfiployes have remained faithful to its interests and to its servioe. More than that, this road never has had costly litightion. If anyone has a just olaim against the road he need never have trouble in having his claim allowed. The road pays what it owes and pays it promptly. The one big reason of this flattering reputation, which is not com mon among railroad corporations, Is the Yandalia's president Mr. W. McKeen. With one exception Mr. McKeen is the oldest railroad president in the country in point of continuous servioe in the capacity, the one exception being Mr. Blackstone of the Chicago A Alton.

The American Woman.

The American woman is taking possession of new fields of thought, duty and servioe. She is taking a place in the community whioh she never held before, She is restless and aspiring. She wants to be, to know and to do more than ever. She does not, like the foremothers, acknowledge her inferiority, or her subordination, or anything of the kind. Though ahe possess her best rights already, she claims that there are other rights whioh she ought to get in short order. She takes hold of politics without fear she often makes publio speeches she goes into lots of kinds of business on her own hook she enters the medical profession, as we were reminded once, more this week, when the great degree of doctor of medicine was conferred upon 25 young women wearing shovel hats and black silk gowns she earns her money at many a trade whioh formerly was the exclusive property of her brethren she strikes out for a larger measure of independence she rides the bioycle as well as anybody she joins a olub she is not at all alarmed at the sight of a man she often carves the roast at dinner and serves the timid fellows who sit at the other side of the table she has given evidence that she can preach, practice law, or run a newspaper, or write any number of books she plays on the stage a hundred times oftener than the woman of the old stock she is an office hnriter, especially when reform is up, and v/e may almost say that what she cannot do is hardly worth doing. —New York Sun.
