We cannot be persuaded by mere rumor,
that he win 60 back on hs life long re-
cord BY an act 80 unworthy his history.
II is proper TO say, in this connection,
that this rumor was not communicated 10
us by DR.. Montgomery.
To cut this whole matter short, let us
repeat our earnest commcndation to eve
ry Democrat to attend the precinct Con-
sentions on next Saturday, at the usual

measure Of his influence toward the or
ganization, harmony and success Of the
party.
Since the foregoing was written, we
have received . communication from Mr..
Bobbit'. saying, in unequivocal terms,
that he viii not abide the action Of the
party in reference to the Convention.
He will not permit his name to appear
before it, This speaks volumes in favor
Of Mr.. Bobbitt's democracy, of which
he boasts so much.

WANT OF CONFIDENCE.
OTTAWA, Oct. 2o.-The debate regarding the
want-of-coutldcuco resolution continues, aud
gives promise Of so doing till Friday night, aud
perhaps oven lator. Tho bold stand taken by
Glass, former Ministerialist WHO announced
his strong condemnation Of tho Ministry and bo-
ltot In their guilt, in IN ablo and moderate
speech, last night, has had the efrect Of greatly
dishoartening the Ministry. Added to this is
tho severance Of two prominent Lower
Province momborB and tho Manitoba
members from formor party ties. The fact
TINT not ninglo member from Prince Edward
Island could DO found to move OF second tho ad-
dresa, In rop1y to tho speech from tho throne, is
accepted as proof that tho Government cannot
hope for much support in that quarter,
WHY NOT DE CORRUPT?
Tho Hon. DR.. Tuppor, President of tue Cabf-
net, made declaration during hls spoooh in the
House, .thnt no Government could exist without
corrupt expenditure Of public money in oleo-
tionB Tho romark WAS received with strong
referred to hH political opponents as an organ-
lied band Of hypocritos.
It iB believed now by those supposed to know,
but is now OH hia way from St. Paul to Ogdous-
burgh, whore ho will await Instructions.
On tho opening of the House to-day
TIE HON. E. Il. WOOD
rose to speak to the question, and occupied tho
ontiro afternoon session In delivering himself OF
ono Of the most telling speeches ever made by
him In tho House. Ho was ropoatedfy and on
Enthusiastically choerod as ho brought home tho
accusation Of guilt upon tho Government.
At o'clock the House roBe for recess. After
reassembling at 1880 o'clock, mr. Wood continued
to speak until q lato hour, arguing the question
on constitutional grounds, and contendipg that
on no previous occasion had the Grown appoint
cd Royal Commission without the consent Of
tho House, inBtanoing tho issue OF such COM
mission IN 1820 as o case in point.

Special Dispatch to TIE Chicago Tribune
INp1ANAro11a, Ind, Oct. 29.-For two monthe
past railroad circles here havo been ngtatod by
rurnora Of sharp practice on tho part Of prom
inont official connootod with ono Of tho princi-
pal through freight lnos, by which tho guilty
person has mado d fortune. Tho Sentinel Of to-
morrow morning will have full expose. 1t Gays:
!" If these rumors aro correct, tho linoin question
has had it's Credit .Mobillor on d email Bcalo,
composed Of leadiug offloinl Of an Eastern

serted that tho workings Of tho ring hive been
upon which collections Of cents on every 166
pounds hayo boen made. TO OK
plain tho workings more fully: Lot tho
established ratio Of freight be. from Torro Hauto
to New York, 58 conts por 100; from Torre Haute
York, 60 cents. all Eastern treights from the
West would bo robillcd at this point. At
this rate, charges proper would bo about
$40 .por car from Terro Hauts TO
this city. But the ring, il tho rurnor is true,
would deduct s cents commission from 30 conlss
freight tariff to Now York, making It 45 conts /;
and add to the freight charges from Torra Haute,
making them 926 instead Of SIG, thus pocket
ing $40 pcr car by tho transaction. In
carrying out an operation Of this character, it
would be very essential that gomo member of
tue ring should occupy position in tho Office of
tho limo cast, through whose agency the shipping
roporta Of the office at this point should be
passed as correct; othorwise the fraud,
il such there was, would DO detected, aud

these transactions hnyo been carried on for two
years.

tero8t in ono Of tho lines over which tho co-ope-
ratiyo freight line waB working led to MI oxatn-
ination OF tho books, which brought to light the
workings Of tho ring, resulting III the removal OF
the official at this point.
There arc various rumors in regard to tho tor
minntion OF this affair. It is stated that the
managers Of ono Of the lines, which has been tho
largest loser by tho transaction, has, or will.
bring srit against al ox-oicial for tue amount Of
commissions collected on Western freight. Again,
It is stated that meeting Of those Interested IN
tho limo will bo held during tho coming month";
nt which will bo determined the future courBe OF
