.oDtain that no considerable number of claims was

70 give the number and the amount of these claims
defnitely The result is astounding.
The total sum proposed to be appropriated Is
100000 more than our entire national debt, ana
amounts to $2,5O3, ,622,3s6. This was done at the
first session Of the present Congress in one house.
The classification of these claims IS as follows Re-

[FRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNEl
INDIANAPoIIs Oct 4.-Republicans in the East.
when they read in next Wednesdays papers the re-
turns from Indiana should do so with right under
standing of their significance. If the Democrats
carry the State by small majority they will only be
holding their own. 1t will be a case of the Dutch
taking Holland. Indiana was Democratic at the last
election (lS7A by nearly $4,000 majority, and in
October, 1872, when, as all remember, the tide was
setting in favor of the Republicans all over the
country, the Democrats nevertheless succeeded in
electing Gov. Hendricks. 1t will be barren
victory for them this year if they are barely
able to hang on to State where they felt them
selves The strongest and expected an oyerwhelm-
ing success They nominated Hendricks at st. Louis
because they believed As candidacy would insure
them Indiana. They claimed 10000 majority when
they opened the canvass here. A few weeks later,
when they the vigor of the Republican cam
paign they fell to $1,000, and aterward to 10000,
and then to 5000. Now they will be happy If they
can elect Williams by vote. If the Repub-
licans win and elect Harrison, though it be by
bare 900 majority, their victory will be a brilliant
one. 1t will be fruitful Of results OF the highest inn
portance. Beaten on their own ground, in their
their favortc leader the Democracy cannot hold to-
gether until November. Their organization will be-
gin to dissolve at once and Cooper and Cary will re-
ceive many Of Their votes.
If, thercfose, the Republicans lose the day next
Tuesda : the reverse, where all the chances were
against them should only stimulate their friends In
the East 90 fresh exertons for the gains they will
surely make here the vote of 1874 will show that
they are strong enough to continue the struggle
with fair prospect of carrying even Indiana for
Hayes. and certain prospect of securing the votes
of all the other Northern States. If the Democrats
go to the wall. however, they are irretricyably
ruined for if they cannot hold Indiana, which they
earned in 1872 they will get electoral votes out
side of the solid South. say, therefore, to the Re
pubicans of the East should the wires bring you
next Wednesday news of - Republican reverse here,
abate not jot of your confidence and courage.
Should they tell the glad story Of Republican sue
cess rejoice exceedingly, for the victory IN the
Presidential battle Will be already won.
The returns telegraphed will be compared with
those of 1874 when the vote for Secretary OF State

love OF the work and its consequent pay.
But the C. C. has of late made his appearance
in an alarming shape which seems to require
that he should be Immediately put down. In
his last letter he says: "My sketches will be
OF light, cheerful and entertaining character
rather than severely labored or heavily laden
with instructive information.o .sStill, he
adds, though generally of pleasant or ia
cetious tendency the information given, when
not manifestly of humorous or satirical design,
will be thoroughly reliable aud of practical
utility" There is something dreadful about
this. A combination of the centennial cor
respondent and American humorist is calcu-
lated to strike the average reader withhorror.
and we hasten to assure our subscribers
that the terms, "moderate," will not be ac-
cepted. Think Of letting loose man Of a
facetious tendency among the machinery at
Philadelphia. Imagine him making fun of
steam engine or looking, with a satirical
design, through "a microscope. Picture him
inspecting the display of American and for

letter about them which shall not be sIaden

The letter contains one idea, distinction
between the meaning of two words, which is
worthy of attention. Though the sketches
