This resolution brought out Mr.. Osborne
| New York, who made an attack upon the
shipping commissioner of New York, and Mr..
Elwell defended him
Capt. Snow of New York also defended the
commissioner of New York.
Mr.. Thayer said it was not the man but the
Office of which he complained. He had moth
ing against Mr.. Duncan, but it was well known
that he got his position through Ward
Beecher's influence.
The commissioner of Boston was a politician
from Wiscasset and could never be found in
| his office.
Mr.. Osborn rose again and said that he had
said nothing but what nine-nine out of a hum
dred business men who had appeared before
| Congress had said.
The discussion was stopped by point of or
der being raised that the convention was not
trying the commissioner OF New York and the
resolution was adopted, IS to r.
On motion of A. X. Slayter of Manchester,
N. H., the convention voted to appoint COM
! mittee of one from each organization repre-
sented to carry out the action of the conyen
tion.
On motion of Mr.. Elwell of New Yoi TX it was
voted to recommend to the Senate and House
OF Representatives the Iassage of n act to set
apart all custom house dues including ton
mage tax collected from vessels of all nations
including our own in all ports in the United
States as special fund which shall be appro-
priated exclusively to pay bounty to American
snip owners, as recommended in the previous
resolution.
On motion of w. III. Webb of New York
voted to memorabilia Congress to change the
existing laws which make each individual
owner responsible for all debts of vessel, re-
stricting his liability to his proportion OF own

INDIANA.
Fears of Trouble on Election Day.
THE STATE OvFRRUN WITH DEMO
CRATIC RoUGas AND REPEATERs.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Private dispatches
received here from Indiana are of an exciting
charac er, and foreshadow possible bloodshed
on election day. Roughs, repeaters and bullies
of all sorts are arriving in large numbers from
Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York, and
detectives are constantly employed to keep
watch of them. The intensity Of feeling is
said to be very much greater than it was four
years ago, and the corruption fund is large.
Yesterday William FL. English, Democratic
candidate for Vice President, supplied the
Democratic treasury with an additional con-
tribution Of ten thousand dollars, and the
Democrats are now said to have surplus at
indianapolis of fifty thousand dollars. which
is to be given tomorrow to the Democratic
managers in the smaller country districts, es-
pecially in the Demo cratic strongholds, with a
view OF increasing. as much as possible the
the Democratic majorities there. English in
handing in his ten thousand dollars, is said to
have stated that there will be more if neces-
7sary." Eastern Democratic managers are not
satisfied with English's contributions, and tel
egramS for additional sums to be transmitted
by telegraph have been made upon parties in
New York.
Meanwhile United States Marshal Dudley
has employed large corps of assistants to see
to it that the federal laws are not violated and
that fraudulent voters do not succeed in violat-
ing the ballot. Dudley, who is one-legged
soldier. is said to be the bravest citizen Of In
diana, and the Democrats understand that he
will do his duty. He proposes to lodge as
many of the Eastern plug-uglies and Kentucky
repeaters in the penitentiary as possible.
The Greenbackers still claim that they will
poll a vote something like forty thousand. The
Republicans do not admit that the Green
bacrers will poll more than ten thousand. The
Democrats are evidently making large bids for
the Greenback vote, and are circulating
stories there, ON the authority of Barnum,
chairman Of the Democratic National Com
mittee, that the leading Greenback organs in
the country are recommending fusion in Indi-
ana. This story was circulated yesterday with
respect 20 the National View, the Greenback
organ of this city, it being reported in Indi-
ana that Barnum had purchased the control
ling interest in it. This the owners and man
gers of the View here indignantly deny, and
the View, in an editorial in its next issue, will
denounce the report and urge the Gree nback-
ers to stand by their ticket
