POLITICAL AND POSTAL.
Views of Congressman Calkins on In
diana and Ohio Politics.
Unsatisfactory Interviews with Senator Voor-
hees and General lie FeVre--Mr. Hat
ton on Cheap Postage.

interview in Chicago Tribune.
Congressman w. H. Calkins, OF La Porte,
Ind, was in the city yesterday. He is en-
route for San Francisco, where he proposes
to put in five or six weeks, and then will
take in Oregon. In conversation with re-
porter for the Tribune, at the Grand Pacific
he said that the prospects for the Republic
ans in Ohio were very good, and he had no
fears of the result. Judge Foraker was re-
garded as the young mems candidate, and
that alone was enough to elect him. He was
in Cincinnati some days ago and Major Ben.
Butterworth had told him that Foraker
would have as big mo jority as Foster ever
had.
There was complete lull in politics in In
diana, and he was glad the State had been
taken out of the October column. In regard
to the Indiana candidates for the Democratic
nomination, Mr.. Calkins thought that Nc
Donald had the support of the entire West,
and would be nominated if Mr.. Hendricks
did not oppose him. But ''Old Tommy" he
said, still had almost absolute power over
the Hoosier Democracy, and his recent utter
ances about the ''old ticket were very sig
nificant.
Concerning the speakership Mr. Calkns
said it was difficult to predict. Both Carlisle
and Blackburn were confident and if they
both remained in the field it would result in
the election of either Randall or Cox. The
latter had been out in Indiana and had cap
tured several notes. at least so said Dame
Rumor. If Blackburn withdrew or even re-
manned passive there would be no doubt of
Carlisle's election. There are not many
better fellows in Congress than Joe Black
burn continued Mr.. Calkins "and l would
not be sorry to see him in the chair Of
course legislation will be influenced to a
great extent by the character of the selection
made-that is, the policy which may be pur-
sued"
Mr. Calkins was chairman of the commit
tee on elections in the last House, and on be-
ing asked what course the Democratic ma
Jority would be apt to pursue in contested
election cases, said that in his opinion they
would act very conservatively the first ses-
sion, but when the presidential fight was set
tied they would be apt to empty number
of chairs
Mr.. Calkins is outspoken in advocating an
alliance with Malone in Virginia and Chal-
mers in Mississippi He says the readjusting
OF the State debt no longer cuts any figure in
Mahone's fight, and that practically it is a
Republican movement. In view of what
Malone has accomplished, it would be folly
to pull away from him. Virginia will be
placed in the Republican column in Novem-
Der, 1884 if wise counsels prevail. With re-
gard to Chalmers, he does not believe they
can crush him out and he will be heard
from before the fight is over. He thought
there was no doubt that Indiana could be
carried next year for the Republican NOM

Plymouth Republican.
Its ostensible object is to crush out all
monopolizng railroads, but its real object is
to swindle workingmen and line the pockets
of its projectors. Notwithstanding this is a
fact, as plain as a nose on mans face there
are thousands of honest men that would not
vote to tax themselves dollar for legiti-
mate enterprise, who will believe that net
work of ten thousand miles of railroad can
be built by stockholders holding from SIS to
500 each, and will contribute that much to
line the pockets of these professed anti
/. monopolists.
DIP IN AND GET NIpPED.
New Castle Courier.
Gee whiz! A railroad company has been
organized at indianapolis with a capital
stock of 100000, 900, which promises to
build narrow-gauge railroads all over the
land. The stock is not all subscribed yet,
but the "dear people" are to be afforded an
opportunity to dip in and get nipped. The
scheme will probably die ''a-bornin' -; if it
does not a great many people will be swim

AN EXPLODED OLD GREENBACK IDEA.

Persons who have read the prospectus of

heard the arguments of the promoters of this
remarkable scheme, declare that there is a

about the project. The truth is that those

luulanapOnS News
The police authorities notify a certain
class that they will be protected while they
break the law, and then call it 'leniency."
But how does the superintendent know that
no trouble followed the leniency? What
does he mean by "troube2' and by what
does he measure it? If he means that there
was no more than the customary drunken
ness, and no resultant murders, possibly
there was no trouble" But that is very
narrow definition. Does he think no trouble
comes from the sworn executors of the law
taking under their patronage certain class
of law breakers? The history of all peoples
downfall has in it, as a moving cause, the
alliance of authority with corruption. What
more corrupt spectacle could be presented
than our executors of law allying them
selves with law-breakers? No trouble" in
deed! There is no end to the trouble Every
form of license, ever incipient spirit of con-
tempt for law has received encouragement
and incentive from the spectacle of authority
allied with lawlessness.

The Peoples oppressors To Be Destroyed.

NV Ue Ia IaIyT at AhIl-MOnOpOIy CONVENTION,
The people were amidst the incipient
throes of one of the greatest social revolu-
tons of modern ages. The American people
were drifting, with a rapidity that alarmed
and stupefed him, into the same state of
class distinction as were the nations of
Europe. The wedge was being swiftly
driven home that would separate forever the
poor and the rich with bridgeless, bottom
less chasm, and the product of the producer
was being taken from him faster than he
could produce it. The question to be con,
sidered was, should this state of things be
changed by the ballot? 1t could not should
not continue. The man who expected it did
not know the minds and courage of Amer-
can freemen. The speaker would say to the
oppressors of the people that the handwriting
was on the wall, and that the day was close
at hand when their supremacy should be for
ever overthrow.

Voorhees, in a Rare.

Interview at Unwilling of the Williams Monument
Reaching the speakers stand some time
before the speaking was to begin, a dis
tinguished honorable favored the Com
mercial Gazette representative with an in
PRODUCTION to Senator Voorhees,, and the in
terviewer said:
Senator, l am happy to make your ac-
quaintance 1 addressed note to you a few
days ago saying l would visit Terre Haute
for the purpose of asking you to define your
position on the tariff question, as 1 heard a
very lively discussion among the Democratic
editors, last week, who do not understand
just what your views are, L represent the
Commercial Gazette"
This Grafton was all delivered without TAX
ing breath, for it was observed that the Sem
ator was filled with interest, and so was Con-
gresham Cobb and Senator Mcdonald and
Judge Niblack and half-a-dozen other nota-
bles who were on the stand.
Well" Numbered the Tall Sycamore, eff
you can't understand my views from reading
my speech in the Senate, you had better go
without understanding it"
BEG pardon, Senator; 1t is not /, person
ally, but the Indiana Democratic editors who
seek the knowledge. They do not understand
you"
81 beg leave to say" said Mr. Voorhees,,
excitedly, that they do understand nv
views, and if they don't they, too, can
GO" Then the Senator caught his breath,
and said that the Democratic organ grinders
who didn't comprehend his gigantic intellect
must forever be deprived Of that blessing
for aught he would do to enlighten them.
81 shall not seek the Commercial Gaze tie
to convey my views to the public,n con-
tinued the now storming statesman; "but
you may say to the Commercial Gazette that
it lies when it says 1 take snuff"
Out came the reporters notebook. The
Ambiguous" senator had been betrayed into
makinga positive statement. 0Note-"The
c. G. lies when it Says D. w. V. takes
snuff"
THANK you. Any more like that?" was
asked, quietly.
81 say you can say the Commercial Gazette
lies when it says take snuff" roared Mr.
Voorhees, again, as the crowd began to clus-
ter around the stand, under the impression
that the speaking had begun, and as the in
terviewer retired and sat down in the shade
to write up the interview the voice of the
statesman came floating throu Oh the trees,
and freedom unfurled her banner to the
breeze, and the American eagle tapped its
wings, and the Commercial Gazette lies
when ii says l take snuff"

A Fact with Significance.

Through all the noise and confusion about
the liquor question in Ohio and Iowa two
very important general facts are PLAIN to be
seen. In Ohio, where Republicans declared
simply for taxation of the traffic Democrats
are hoplessly on the defensive, wilhelm Iowa,
where the Republicans went for prohibition,
the contrary is true. The consequence is a
growing Democratic hope in the latter State
and diminishing confidence in the former

with the affair of Mr. Tilden's candidacy
which must not be overlooked. One is that
