the Liberal Republicans to rally in his

The Horseback Weston.

A horseback Weston lately gave an
exhibition of his skill and pluck, and
endurance, in riding long distances in
Chicago. We call him a horseback
Weston. because ne has Weston's trick
of failing, whenever anything extra is
expected of him. His name is Chen
Ridicker, and the story goes that he
was stolen from his parents when little,
and spent his young life among the In
dians of the plains, He is said to hive
performed many feats of Riding while
connected with the Farsos Overland
Express Company, one Of which was to
ride three hundred miles inside of four
teen hours and deliver package. He
then began to ride on his owa account
for some useful object, and Row he is
riding for fun, and glory, and purses.
Chicago got him to ride in Dexter
Park, it is said, for purse of 81 ,60O.-
He was to ride two hundred miles in
side of twelve hours, or get nothing for
his bruises and joltings After hard
trial he accepted the latter alternative -
About thousand people went to see
hla fail, and ten or fifteen horses were
parties to it. He rode only one circuit

grounds, and it was announced that the

Washington Correspondence New York Sun. ]
There is something more Of Voor-
hees that needs explanation. Daniel has
fo'r several years had an ambition to be
Governor of Indiana, but thus far has
failed to elicit the confidence of the In
diana Democracy to degree sufficient
to secure him the nomination. At the
time the result of the Cincinnati Con-
ventiGn was announced it was telegraph
ed that eX Senator Hendricks was salts.

run for Governor of the Hoosicr State
upon the Cincinnati platform.
This was blow To Voorhees, hopes.
He could never expect to carry off his
coveted prize in the face of such pop
ular man us Hendricks. The same event
also caused Morton to. seriously droop.
Then Morton and Voorhees, met in this
city-it was well known that during the
week following the adjournment of the
Cincinnati Convention VOORHEES, called
at least twice at Morton's. Here a
scheme was laid, the purport of which
has leaked out, Morton who owns what
there is Of the Grant Party in Iniana,
promised to tto his utmost to secure the
Gubernatorial nomination and election
for Voorhees,. The Administration is
to send out money and attempt to con-
troll the Indiana Democratic State Con
vention and turn it over to Voorhees,,
and in the event of his nomination the
Grant fuglen1en are to sell out the, Re
publican candidate, General Tom
Browne, and elect Voorhees,. s
In return for this great kindness,
VOORHEES, and his friends are to sell out
the Democratic Legislative candidates in
e sufficient number of districts to secure
Republican Legislature, which will re.
turn Oliver Perry Morton TO the United
States Senate. Morton's~ present term
expires on the 4th of March next.
This comes from most substantial
sources, and is so generally credited
here, from the known honor of those
who give the information, that it has
brought VOORHEES, into contempt even
among those who were his best person
al friends. The Wabash statesman can
deny having 5argained with Grant, be-
cause Grant was not the party he bar
gained with. Grant has not so much
influence in Indiana as Morton. So
In pursuance of this bargain, Voor-
hees' law partner is now canvassing In
diana, and is aided by Morton's brother.

are rs bold and defiant as ever. Recent

the day at Moss Neck, mixing freely
with the inhabitants and getting thor

believe that the maintenance of repuhli-

The scathing speech of this gentle.
man, published on our. first page, ar
raiguing the GRANT Administration, for
incompency, nepotism, gift taking and
general worthlessness, is deserving of a
careful perusal by Democrats as well as
Republicans. Its effect upon the GRANT
Radicals was terrifying. They imme-

session another weeks although both
Houses had passed a resolution to ad.
journ on the Sd inst. '-" ' %
This speech will not be published in

desire Democrats, all over tho. country
to loan their papers to their Radical
neighbors to read. YTsy
