Washington Special Aug. 3.
Judge Roach, former law-partner of Sen
ator Mcdonald, who has just returned from
Indiana, says: eve feel confident of carry
ing the State, but we have got the hardest
fight on our hands we've ever had. The
Republicans start in this year in better shape
than they were when they ended the cam.
paign of 1876, and they are confident. They
do not count upon winning any recruits
from the Democrats. Their calculation of
success is based upon the Greenback vote.
In 1879 the Greenbackers cast, in round
numbers, 5000 votes. The Republicans
calculate that $4,000 of that number came
from their party and $4,000 from ours; that
this year these voters will fall back
into their old parties, and, therefore, the Re-
publicans will get two to our one. The Dem
ocratic leaders In Indiana express themselves
as very we'll satisfied with the situation. Mr.
English, the Democratic candidate for Vice
President, told me that he would certainly
carry the State, and put more faith IN his
opinion than that of any other man. Sen

Democratic Both IN October and Noeen-
Der,
Chicago Times.
Hon. P. FL. Kelly, of st. Paul, the Mime
sofa member of the national Democratic cen
trail committee, was interviewed by Times
reporter at the Grand Pacific last evening.
Mr.. Kelly, it will be remembered, was chair
man of the Minnesota delegation to the Gin
cinnati convention, which was one of the
first to support Gen. Hancock for nomina-
ton, and he is of course an enthusiastic
Hancock man. He has arrived in the city
in response to the summons of Chairman
Barnum, little late for the meeting, but
he was fairly satisfied with the report of the
action which he received from his confreres.
He said that there is the utmost confidence
of success among the committee men of the
different Eastern States, and that this conf
dence was not based upon mere idle con-
lecture, but upon the actual condition of
political affairs. Indiana would be certain
to go Democratic both in October and No
vember, while Illinois might well be olassed
as likely to follow the example of the Hoo
sier State. 10 his own State the Republican
majority had been 80 large in former
years that it would seem like idle
talk to predict Democratic suo-
cess at the coming election, but since
the nomination of Gen. Hancock he had
been surprised at the number of honest, in
telligent Republicans who had come for
ward and announced that they would not
support Garfield for the reason that he was
fraud, and more particularly on account of
the underhand method by which he secured
his nomination.
He had no doubt about Indiana going
Democratic, and stated that even the Repub-
licans claimed only a majority of 1900 in
that State as the result of the canvass, by
which every voter in the State was enrolled
and his place of residence given. He had
unlimited confidence in the pluck Of the
Hoosier Democrats, having seen an example
of it in the most obstinate manner in which
they stuck to Hendricks in the Cincinnati
convention. The result of the Alabama
election he said was particularly gratifying
to the members of the national committee,
as they expected to lose some of the Con-
gressional districts in that State, and he re-
joiced that the victory had been gained with
out leaving it OPEN to the Republicans to
charge that the negroes had been terrorized,
as the latter had in many instances formed
themselves into Democratic clubs, and as
such paraded the streets of Mobile and other
Alabama towns.

ROCHESTER,.

There is farmer boy ID years old in the
town of Rock Dali this county, who cut and
bound with twine binder ffty-two acres of
heavy wheat in two days, twenty seven acres
on Monday and twenty-five Tuesday of this
week. Three horses were used. Who can
better it?
Coroner Sedgwick held preliminary ex-
animation over the body of James Smith,
who was found dead in his bunk yesterday
morning. Ii seems that ne had worked hard
in the harvest field during the day, and at
four saloons in the city drank nearly one
quart of clear whisky. At IL O'CLOCK they
started for the farm, his last words being.
"I'm pretty drunk, but guess I can drive
home" One mile out he fell into the wagon
box and the hired men drove home. They
took HIM out and put him to bed. 1t was
thought he was dead at that time.

What the Brokers and Spectators Say of
the Situation.
New York World, Aug. g.
"To-day's stock market has been repe-
tition of Saturdays trading" said a broker
who has all along taken philosophic view
of the late "bull'' movement. "but perhaps
there was greater volume of transactions.
Stocks which had remained idle last week
were brought into prominence, but the same
class of buying went on, the demand being
confined to the purely investment list. Union
Pacific and New York Central lead the ad-
vance, and the buyers of these two great
trunk lines Showed but little timidity
The movement in the CHANGERS was
even more healthy than that of last
week, since there were from time to time
few set backs with sharp recoveries. In
the afternoon the downward reaction was
caused by free sales to realize, Mr.. Keene
being inclined evidently to turn few paper
profits into cash. Even Erie had half per
cent of extra vim galvanized into it, but it
appears thai some one prominent operator
holds larger load than he cares to carry
should q revulsion in the temper of the
speculation occur. This operator is conse-
quently feeding the boys With all the Erie
they want at very snug profit to him, and
it is said that there is as much more to come
as would fill big California grain clipper"
Another broker, who has been inclined to
masquerade the influences which have
brought about the recent advance. said
"Our customers are afraid to sell Short, al
though they think that prices are too high.
1t is no use to fight the bull tide, and the
lambs are Skipping in with playful limo
cence. 1t is now thirty days since the
failure of the crops was reported and then as
quickly contradicted. There has been an
advance of Is per cent. last month, and it is
fashionable 1T present to mark up active
stocks / per cent. daily. This process may
be continued for thirty Or sixty days or even
ad iibitum, if the whims of the big opera
tors should dictate such course.
Then, we are promised an unprecedented
importation of gold, in fact it is said that
every steamer will bring a fresh consignment,
so that 1 expect ere long to see the entire
fleet of European steamers refusing all other
freight in favor of the precious metal. Wall
street believes almost anything nowadays un-
der the influence of the present speculative
excitement. The coal stocks were weak at
the close on the receipt of advices from Poll
adeIphia stating that the Reading railroad
would make no change in its circular prices
for coal during August.

Furnishing AND CORRECTING CEN
SUS FRAUDS.

SUS FRAUDS.
There are two significant things in the
Washington correspondence relative to the
st. Louis census which we publish else
where. The first is Gen. Walkers state
ment that fraud was perpetrated by the
census taker for that city in 1870, and but
for the statute of limitations he would prose
cute the guilty party.
Charley Johnson has been guilty. of a
fraud in taking the Minneapolis census the
current year, and he is not barred from pun
ishment by the statuts of limitations. He
has given his census salary to the church as
a conscience fund, but that does not bar his
being prosecuted and sent to the
penitentiary. Gen. Walkers remark in re-
gard to st. Louis shows that he recognizes
the power to prosecute and punish these
frauds, and his attention is respectfully in
vited to the case of Chas. w. johnson, the
fraudulent census supervisor at Minneapolis.
The second item of significance is the fact
that where the census has been either fraud
ulently or carelessly taken, the bureau at
Washington can send disinterested experts
to make new count. This rule ought to
apply both to st. Paul and Minneapolis. st.
Paul should have recount owing to care
lessness in the count and assinine stupidity
in the rulings which forbid cor
rection. Minneapolis should have
a recount on the ground of deliberate
and intentional fraud. The railing in st.
Louis relative to railroad employees would
make sad havoc with Charley Johnson's per-
jured returns. The st. Paul Chamber OF
Commerce eau secure recount i'll both
cities if it will.

[St. Peter Times. |


Mark Fl. Dunnell is the regularly nominated
Republican nominee for Congress in the First
district. Ward is e self-constituted candidate
The proposition of Ward to Dunnell is brassy
production, and is not entitled to the coun-
tenance of any party man. MIR. Dunuell is The
candidate nominated fairly by majority of
regularly elected delegates in convention as
sembled, a fact that Ward and his friends do
not deny. ANY Republican in the First dis
trict has as much right as Ward to put himself
up for Congress against Dunneil, and to make
proposition to the latter to withdraw.
But then what is the use
of holding conventions il any individual
member can, by boiting and setting himself
up for Office, knock their action in the head?
The St. Peter Tribune joins with the Ward
boilers and tells Duuneil to withdraw. And
still Ward claims that he is not running with
the expectation of being elected, but to beat
Dunneil. Maj. Strait has been regularly nomi-
mated for Congress i'll this district. What
would the Tribune say if Gordon L. Cole were
to put himself up in opposition to Strait and
say, II am not running really for Congress
but am trying to beat Strait. " And then sup
pose Cole should propose to Strait that both
withdraw. In that case the Tribune would say
that Cole was bolter, a trespasser on the will
of the party. That's Wards fix.

M,mTLL4N;s PIOUs CAMPAIGN.

M'MILLAN'S PIOUH CAMPAIGN.
1t is currently reported that FL. NJ. Knox,
public examiner, and Sim Child, mail agent
are hunting in couples in behalf of the re-
election of Senator Mcmillan. They are
noble couple, and if McMillan's fate rests
upon them the sooner he hangs his harp on
the willow, the better for his personal COM
fort and happiness
| Mcmillan is also the House of Hope can
didate, and private meetings of the gang are
of almost nightly occurrence at private resi-
dences in the upper part of the city. The
House of Hope is the official church
of the Republican party, and it
must be admitted has been reasonably
successful in securing Scholarships and mi
nor situations. Ramsey was House of
Hopper but he combined the aid of the devil
with that of the church, and we are not sure
but the former proved more efficient than
the latter. At all events the combination
proved irresistible, while either one alone
would have proved failure.
| The Mcmillan crowd are relying on the
church alone but they should remember that
the truly good die young Of course the
employment of Knox and Sim Child has the
air of an alliance with the devil,
but they assume to be cohorts of
the church, and as the devil is
somewhat select in the employment of his
trusted agents it is not likely that, he would
| be willing to recognize them. They may
therefore be credited to the devil by those
who know them and at the same time fail to
bring the aid of that powerful member of
the Republican party to the support of Nc
MILAN. The "truly good'' condition of Me-
Millans campaign is sure omen of his de-
feat. His Senatorial career has not been
success. Such rascals as Washburn and

feat will be a just retribution for his

amount of judgment she had previously OBJ
tained in New York for policy on her hus-

enjoin the officials of the company from dis

filed as an exhibit containing 81. FL. Finley's
testimony that he president of the
National Capital Life insurance company, and
that since he had held the position no new
business had been taken by the company. An
affidavit was also filed from H. W. Sperry, re-
ceiver, appointed by the probate court in
New Haven, Conn. His affidavit is to the
effect that the company is hopelessly insolvent
and utterly unable to pay the large
amount Of claims already due. The assets in
his hands are less than SIS ,010 but he believes
more is held by parties beyond his jurisdiction
He also testifes that there is urgent need of
receiver being appointed here so as to realize
the premiums which are still being collected.
