is the belief that both Mr.. Tilden and Mr.. Hen
bricks knew what the other was TO say, and
that the whole affair, so far as the announce
ment Of the demoera,ie position Is concerned,
wa OF the most oenoerate cnsracter: Inere
are several eastern republicans OF acknowl-
edged sagacity and prominent standing who
express the opinion that the democrats are
looking to the early control OF the senate as
ment they obtain IL, to refuse to make further
appropriations for President Hayes, and TO
recognize Tilden instead, and appropriate only
upon his estimates. nsrr FEr
rhe speeches of yesterday are regarded here
by many as the formal opening of the contro-
versy by the chosen leaders of the democratic
party, and some of their best known followers
are known TO feel confident that they viii con-
troll the senate at least by the middle of
Hayes's term, and possibly before.
In connection with the reopening of this
matter, leading democrats OF the house have
now under consideration a proposed investi-
cation aimed at all matters covered by the
Matthews-F Foster letters, and similar matters
of alleged bargaining by which certain north
completion of the electoral count was broken
down.
Evidently Hayes can not have the respect
of his countrymen, and it is very certain
that the power of his party is waning. In
addition to the villainies of the Louisiana
returning board and the electoral commits
sion it will doubtless be shown that there
were other bargains and corruptions, and
that Stanley Matthews will be required to
state explicitly what connection he had
with them. The indications are that
Hayes will at no distant day en-
ter upon tempestuous seas, and
we are satisfied that he will find it exceed
ingly difficult to vindicate his title to the
Office of president, and in the light of new
developments honest men will be convinced
that Mr.. Hendricks was right when he said
THE people can not allow the selection of
their chief magistrate to become thing Of
chance or sharp practice. The fraud first
triumphant in American history must be
assigned to its proper place among crimes
against popular government, and made so
'odious that no party will dare to attempt
its repetition" -"s

THE radical organs, in casting about for
objections to Mr.. Tilden, were wont TO say
that his style of expression in his speeches
and state papers was vague and hard to be
understood. They had no difficulty in un-
Outstanding him at the recent farewell en-
tertainment given to Mr.. Hendricks few
days since. He said in allusion to the recent
radical swindle: Every body knows that
the candidates elected at the recent election
were counted out and those not elected
were counted in.'' The truth, put in such
terse, brief language, had a wonderful effect
on the radical organs. They did not relish
it, and have charged Mr.. Tilden with exhib-
iting bad TASTE etc. One was so very unre-
fined in its expression as to call it an exhibit
ton of "sore toes" Sad state of affairs that.

THE MANHATTAN CLUB DEMON.
STRATION.

The comments of the radical organs upon
the speeches made by Samuel J. Tilden and
ThomSs A. Hendricks in New York a few
evenings since are by no means uninterest-
ing reading. The Manhattan club demon.
stration has quite upset the radical conspir-
ators and their organs. In some cases an
effort is made to treat the meeting of the
democratic standard bearers, the president
and vice president of the United States de
j,re, as a matter of no significance and their
utterancas as sheer twaddle. This, however,
is all surface work; underneath is current
feeling that betokens alarm, anxiety, un
rest--a fearful looking for of judgment and
dire penalties. The leaders do not after all
like the way Hayes was ssOorp into Office.
There is feeling everywhere that ]. Madi
son Wells, Eliza Pinkston and Judas Brad
ley are not the persons TO reverse the win Of
the American people. The better class of
republicans either denounce the fraud or re
main in profound silence while others de-
nounce it. When either Tilden or Hen
bricks. refer to the subject the people give
evidence OF deep indignation. The crime is

ilish. so foreign to everything honorable
and so essentially humiliating that the
merest mention of it to an American audi
ence is productive of emphatic denuncia-
tons hitherto unknown in popular as
semblies. The radical party knows it is
guilty. 1t is the author of the great crime
oftputting Hayes into Office. and the sus-
plcions of the leaders are constantly aroused
in regard to what IS coming. A Washington
dispatch to the Chicago Tribune contains
the following conjectures:
For some weeks past some of the shrewdest

| lieved that the great sensation of the fall

DEATH OF THE HON. JOHN PETIT.

DEATH OF THE HON. JOHN PETIT.
The distinguished men of Indiana seem to
be rapidly passing away. Close upon the in
telligence of the death of ex-senator Pratt
comes the electric tidings that Judge John
unanticipated by his neighbors On satur-
day the Lafayette Journal, in speaking of
his condition, said:
Judge Pettit's condition to-day is un-
changed. He has suffered a complete paraly-
sis of the left side of his body, and since yes
terday has been perfectly unconscious and has
not partaken of food. His ply sicians hope
that he may rally, but the indications are I'M
favorable. The chs. noes are against him. He
may linger for week or two
But he did not linger; he died last night
at his home in Lafayette, where he settled
in 1881
Judge Petit was born in Sacketts Harbor,
Jefferson county, New York, July "a, 1907,
and was therefore nearly 20 years of age He
had the advantages of good education, and
choosing the profession of law, removed to
Indiana in 1881 and settled in Lafayette,
where he has since resided. The Hon. o. H.
Smith, in his Early Indiana Trials and
Sketches" says OF Judge Petit that he twas

height, with a capacious brain with
a strong, full voice, and good
lawyer. He possessed talents of
high order as speaker, was not at first pre-
possessing, but gained upon his audience as
he progressed, and before he closed was
heard with close attention. Judge Petit
occupied many distinguished positions
member of the state legislature, United
States district attorney, member OF
congress and United States sena-
tor, twice circuit judge and chief
justice of the federal courts of Kansas,
and last one of the supreme judges of Indi-
ana. These positions indicate clearly and con-
clusively the rank of Judge Petit as one of
the leading men of the state and of the coun-
try. He enjoyed to an unusual extent the
confidence of the people who honored him
with positions of the highest responsibility

SOME well meaning radicals of the good
'ish" class, with very triumphant air, fire.
quently ask democrats, Amt Hayes do
ing first-rate? Why can't you democrats
support him. The questions act as safety
valves to this class of radicals because the
late rasc Ility of their party is still sadly
green in their memories, and they think if
Hayes behaves decently for while, at least,
the sin of the swindle ought to be forgotten.
To all of this class we recommend the center
shot of Senator Mcdonald in conversation
he held the other day with a cabinet officer,
who probably was asking him questions of
kindred import to those we have noticed.

depth had been opened for repairs, and
four men, passing that way in the dark,

their perilous situation became known.
The poor wretches were already suiloN
eating from u poisonous yNpor; their
meanings were heard, and their wives
and children, frantic with grief, be-
sought the bystanders for aid; but
among all the stalwOrt men who gath

Catharine Vasseup, lass Of seventeen,
volunteered to descend into the pit
She was lowered into the sewer, where
she fastened rope around two OF the
men, and assisted by those above, she
had the happiness Of restoring them to
their wives and children. Again she
descended, and fastened the rope
around the body of third man, but
her breath began to fail her. Painting
from foul air and exhaustion, she had
sufficient presence of mind to knot the
end of her own luXuriaut tresses, so
that when the dastardly fellows above
drew the man to the surface they found
the all but inanimate body Of the young
girl swinging by her hair to the end of
the rope. Fresh air and stimulants re-
stored her to consciousness, but not in
time TO enable her to save the fourth
man, who persisted in the pit
