Quitting the stump in Indiana aud Ohio BY
O,de of Zach Chandler for CriticisinE
Grant aud the Administration Lenders
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 12.-Ten days ago
II. W. Voorhees,, in a joint discussion with SEN
ator Sherman in North Union, Indiana, so COM
pietely got the better OF bis political opponent
mat II became the imperative duty OF the In
diana state Republican Committee to ind an
antagonist who could dispute with the tail
sycamore Of the wabash" the laurels he had
earned. On Thursday last the Chairman OF the
committee challenged Mr.. Voorhees, to meet
Carl Schurz In joint discussion at a meeting,
which was to be held Ia Crown Point, Ind, yes
terd y. An acceptance was promptly sent, aud
the auburn haired orator of the Wabash WIS
r-sdy to meet the sandy haired orator from
Germany. On Saturday Last word was sent to
Mr.. V0oTSc-s that. though Mr.. echurz would be
at Crown Point according to engagement, he
would speak only IN German. Mr.. Vuornos- 80
piled That be would he AZ the meeting as agreed.
h'"" Jean Williams vol. also be there, and
Schutz must "either Hght or speaN." Gu Sud-
day Voorhees, was further infOrme1 tn It Scnu7:
had met with an accident which would prevent
his participating In the campaign for some time.
That accident IL one of the most serious mis-
haps that could befall the cause of HAYES.
When Schurz spoke at Cleveland and Cincin.
natl be proclaimed. he said by autho ity, that II
Hayes was elected the Chambers. the Mortons.
the Logans. the Grants. tue Shepherds would
have no part or influence In the neXt Admins
ttation. He also boldly declared thnt Grant
knew nothing about civil service. except that
the Government wa speci lily ere ted for Grant
aud his family. When these expressions reached
Zach Chandler he raved. and declared that
Scnurz must either he nuzzled or Hayes would
be ignored. In fact. the Pre- ident and Oh re
solved that, unless this Pte-identh election
could he managed so a. to vnGicate Grant and
his y lis. the tabor ~ the National Committee
would be expended IN vain. Accordingly word
WIS sent to HAYES and Morton that Il was the
demand of the National Republic n Committee
that Schurz mus quit the stump, aud under
this order a serious accident has befallen Mr..
Schurz. which will prevent him ticking an active
pITt IN the remaining months OF the ctmuaiRn.
Inc order has also been issued that ex Sec
rotary Bristow must not be allowed to make
any more speeches, IS MA active participation
In the canvass Is offensive TO the President.
Poor HAYES swallows the instructions without
amurnur, aud replies inst he Is in the hands OF
his friends. They know best what Is right, and
having had but little experience In public lie,
he does not wish to appear arrogant or presume
ing. In palmer words, my only ambition Is to
pie sc Grant and his minions.
DETROIT. Sept 12.-rhe contract with Carl
Schuiz. Tor campaign speeches 10y the National
Republican Committee, has been cancelled by
Secretary Chandler The reason assigne Is the
alleged statement by Mr.. Scnufz that HAYES, II
elected, would nave nothing to do with Cham
dler, Morton < Co.
