SULLIVAN LETTER.

The New B&ilroad and Press.

What may be Expected—The Judicial Convention and General Gossip.

To the Editors of the GAZETTK: SULLIVAK Ind., Aug. 3,1880. The wheat crops is now in a sound condition and oats and grass have been pretty well cared for. The amount of wheat which has been raised in Bullivan county this year is something wonderful and even at the lowest figures which may be paid for this staple will bring into the cotra$y. a handsome sum of money Farmers have evidently struck the great sourcti^f wealth at last and are determined to improve their time to the best advantage. Through the production of what many of our farmers will be made to appreciate that even from the soil of Sullivan county gold may be mined to great advantage.

TJIK NEW RAIIJ ROAD.

The Narrow Guage Rail road running cast and west through this county is being pushed on to completion with a determination which would seem to insure certain success to the enterprise which has hung on through so many varying fortunes. The farmers east and west have to some extent, taken advantage of this new line to get their wheat to an early market. The completion of this road will be of great value to Sullivan county and especially the town of Sullivan.

SUM .IVAN TOWN.

The town of Sullivan is going ahead this year and exhibiting a real praiseworthy and determined spirit in the line of advancement. Street improvements have commenced in the, ri^ht direction and are being conducted with a view to permanence and neatness that will rival any of our sister cities. Some business houses are in course of building which would be creditable to any town in the state. The people here may well feel it is time to make such advances for Sullivan is' really a live business town

T1IK PUBLIC FKK8S.

The public press is quite largely represented at this point by three enterprising and valuable newspapers whose editors are each endeavoring to vie with praiseworthy effort in affording the people of the country all the advantages to be derived fiom the art of printing and publishing.

Two of those papers, the True Democracy and the Democrat appear to be in complete harmony as to the fact that HANCOCK & ENGLISH should be elected as well the Democratic state and county tickets. The other paper, Sulivan Union, adheres to the cause of GARFIELD & ARTHUR and the Republican ticket generally but with a trembling in its tone and a degree of fickleness which might be plead as an indication of a change of heart in case such an argument could be favorably pressed in reference to continuance of postofflce favors under the Democratic administration. They are all thriving and receiving a livley support from the people which speaks well for hole pe- ?f tl /county.

DISTINGUISHED VISITOR8.

Miss M.J. Evans, of Richmond, Ind., a former resident of this place and a young Jady becoming quite favorably known in the ''temry world, is paying a visithome.

As you are no doubt idly aware, this county is tho most reliable Democratic county in the state and may always 1-e expected to steadily increase her majority There is, however, in the present campaign a somewhat new feature in the politics of the country and one which seems to be remarkably uniform all over the country. The enthusiasm and party unity is all on the side of the Democrats so far as the national tickets are concerned. During the session of the Democratic national convention at Cincinnati when the papers seemed to indicate the possibility of the nomination of McDonald of Indiana as the standard bearer of the party there was a profound feeling of satisfaction generally experienced and Democrats were prepared to receive the news of McDonald's nomination in a manner tiiat would have competed with the most boundless enthujlasm which has ever been accorded anynomination in the history of bolitical struggles. The sentiment of the convention, however, when it becjppe eiyetalized developed in the nomination of M^jor General W. S Hancock and this mingled with every breeze that fanned the hope of Democratic success into certain victory. Thefname and the sentiment was taken up onthe wings of the wind borne to every hearthstone in this broad land with a wild entuhsiasm which seems to grow in greatness aad increase in strength as time lengthens out giving every promise of resulting in one of the most complete

and overwhelming victories ever achieved by any party in all the ages.' To use a somewhat crude expression, "It has comks pletely taken the wind out of the Republican party:" and it does seem to an ob-

be entfrely unable to even make a masterly retreat. It is rather laughable to notice some of the poor fellows who have been in the habit of bellowing so loudly. They seem to take in the situation and express grave doubts as to the propriety of speaking about the past in any other '•than in the most respectful mamur"

THE CAMPAIGN.

Although there has been a good work done at this point in preliminary organization and quite a numbef of very interesting local meetings the county committee will not be fully inaugurated until next Saturday, August 7th. If everything favorable there will be rather a lively time in Sullivan on that day. The people will be out in their might and the meeting will be sufficient to gladden the hearts of of every lover of liberty and good government. The names of such distinguished democrats as Hons. J. C. Robinson and J. C. Allen of Illinois and Hons. D. W. Yorhees, J. R. Coffrotfi, D. S. Gooding and T. R. Cobb of Indiana, are snfflcent to insure to the massess the certainity of a masterly and eloquent presentation otthe tl

political issues. THE LOCAL CANVASS. The local canvass in this country will be conducted as far as the oratorial display is concerned, on the part of the Democrats by Cants., Briggs, Parker, Patton, Pu«et, and Wm. Waggoner, Esq., who will point the way to victory "in thunder tones." The Republicans will be cheered on to defeat by J. A. Hays, P. M, Capts. Roberts, Lacey, Evans' Prof. J. Chaney, Rev. Tom Burton and W. S. Maple, Esq

THE RESULT EXPECTED.

It is thought that this array of talent on either side will keep the political pot boiling sufficiently hot all summer to enable David Crawley, chairman Democratic Central Committee, and W. G. Young, chairman Republican Central Committee to get in their work in such a manner as to come up to the expectations of the people at the elections. There is no doubt that David Crawley will meet the expectations of his .friends and the people generally, for Dave is heart and Soul in the work, and he understands the business entrusted to his care. W. G. Young, however, labors under some difficulties, and seems to come to the scratch in a rather hobbled and doubting manner. If he should get through without throwing up the sponge he will' have achieved a *pecsona\ triumph. Will was a colonel in the late unpleasantness, and he admires Hancock, and it is not at all certain but some fine morning he may come out in a letter pledging himself as others have done. The fact is, the Republican party have lost their grip with the soldier boys.

TIIE JUDICIAL CONVENTTON. The convention of the judicial circuit which met at Pimento in your county on Thursday last was looked upon by the Democrats of this county as a very important meeting and there was much talk as to the probable result. This county claimed the nomiflation of Prosecuting Attorney and the fact that his claim was respected by that convention is the source of general good feeling. The nominee, P. H. Blue, Esq. of this place is a young man who deserves great credit for working his way up in the world. The past is a garrant.ee that he is possessed of energy and perseverance and will do his level best to come up to the demands which may be made upon him. There is scarcely a doubt of his being olected by a large majority and that he \vilL appreciate such an expression of the confidence of the people reposed in him by making an excellent officer there is no question.

WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED.

From this time on lively times majf be expected in Sullivan county. As the canvass progressed and the fires of liberty begin to burn brightly whatever of interest takes place will nodouty be "dished up" for your columns in as- readable style as the cireurfistances may permit, never intentionally failing to place things in their true light and as they mav present thero.^lveV to a discrimi*tlng public.

The alleged state of their domestic affairs caused much scandal in their neighborhoods. Both are farmers. The two men have long cherished bitter enmity to each other. Saturday they met in town, and a hot and bitter quarrel ensued. She scene of this action was in an alley, behind a saloon. Finally McKinley plugged at Muncie and stabbed him three times in the stomach, the knife at each drive going into his bowels. He then pounded his head and badly mashed his eyes. Muncie fell, and his entrails^ sooh began to run it. The murderer immediately made his escape through the crowd. The feeling among the country people is intense, and Muncie?s father swears that he will kill his son's mur derer.

The Arab and his Horse. I

Ifi no country in the world is the horse so much thought of as he is in Arabia. The Arab places Jirita above his wife and children. In he has the first choice of everything, to "all intents and purposes. And the horse reciprocates the affections of his master, caring nothing for Arab-ble which he has no affinity. A very swift animal is the Arab horse. Howcvr lo :g 1^3 master may be in conquering other items on the bill of fart, his horse carries him rapidly through the desert. And the horse is veiy fond of the desert. In fact, the bells they go ringing for Sahara. The wandering Arab, without wife or children, has no companion but his horse. They sit together in a railroad car when on a journey and walk arm in arm into the dining room at the hotel where they put up. When they have been out late at night they invaria biy in together under one blanket. Theyjia^o ftteh tjeoii knownv^0 borrow money o? each j?J^er. They arc unbridled in tlfeir ^a^sion tor dice, and th^p horse

is tickled totieath if he can srodle the drinks on his master. Hoof ary one can think of anything more to about the Arab horse let hitn say it. Ke don't g4 well in harness, but hs've often thought that the Arab who ovnt him would look much better if, instead of his native costume, he was dressed up in a suit of clothes from Owen Pixley & Co.
