LOUISVILLE, KY, September . -Aspecial
to the Courier.J0ur1lal from Frankfort says:
Hon. and Mrs. John G. Carlisle are here,
the guests OF Mr.. and Mrs Will. Sat1ell and
will remain until after the inauguration Of
Governor Knott. In conversation with
the COurier-JourRal correspondent Mr..
Carlisle said his candidacy for the
United States Senate is just as it
has always been; that it would be
ridiculous i'll him TO say lie would
not accept such a high position il the peo-
pie should confer the honor upon him, but
it would be untrue to say he was candi'
date in the sense in which it is commonly
viewed, button.holing for the vote OF
the General Assembly. He said
he knew nothing OF Captain
B!aCkburn's intention ~ decline the race
for the speakership, and was first apprised
of 1t by the Courier. Journal which was
brought TO him at the Springs; that he does
not yet know Captain Blackburn's inten.
ton respecting his vote, and influence, ex.
cepting tina; ne il opposed TO MIR. Randall.
Regarding the latter he said that whilst
he ia somewhat crafty within the lines Of
party organization he is still politically
honorable and too good Democrat to
think Of seeking the Speskership at'the
hazard Of party !, interest, and
that viewing the race in the
light Of the present, the indications
gave him reason to believe Mr.. Randall
would not permit bis name to 20 before the
caucus, for he knows he will suffer defeat.
1t is true complications may yet arise OF
which l am ignorant, and have no
doubt Mr.. Randall will endeavOr
to draw some Southern or Western
member into the race in order to break |
iato my ranks. But since it requires |
to nominate, and have al.
ready many more pledged voIes than any
other candidate, and nesrly enough to in |
sure nomination, l think it very probable |
that | will receive the honor Of being the
next Speaker.

out that some well known politicians are
endeavoring to effect complete fusion Of
the opposition parties in Iowa, and the
plan Us announced is 10 secure the with

date for Governor, in favor OF General
Weaver, with the understanding that
Kiune is to be supported by the combined
opposition in the Legislature for United
States Senator. il is doubtful whether this
arrangement can be etfscled, but the gen.
tie dcmeanor OF General Weaver towards
the Democrats indicates that he would be
willing to make the trade. II the bargain
could be cousummated it would result in
Weaver's election, or II the trade were
made the other way it would elect Kiune.
The Polk County GreeuhaCk Convention
met THIS afternoon at the Tribune Office.
About forty members were present, and
they voted down, by twenty-five TO five, q
motion to nominate Bryan and Hargis for
Representatives, They adopted the follow
Ing resolutions and adjourned
Resolved, That iuasmuoh Gs the Republi-
can patty has abandoned every other issue
except the reelection to the United States
Senate OF a leading monopolist, whose vote
has been uniformly against the people, and
as there are two legislative candidates now
before the people Of this county who could
not be induced to vote for monopolist for
the Senate, one whom, Mr.. Hargip, stands
souarely upon our platform; the other OF
whom, Mr. Ryan, is in accord with it in the
main, and has 9 good RECORD as an anti;
MonopoIist, and as the nomination OF still
other candidates would tend to insure the
reelection OF Senator Allison, therefore We
decline TO place other candidates before the

A Coupon Thief Arrested I'm Kew York

NEw York, September 2.-Stephen Ray
mond, alias Steve Marshall, was arrested
yesterday on a charge of forgery. The
forgery consisted Of the alteration Of the
numbers on the Union Pacific Railroad
company's coupons, supposed to be u por-
ton Of the bonds and coupons stolen Jan. %,
1876, from the Northampton, Mass Bank
eighteen months ago. Notice was received
at the New York office OF the Union
Pacific Railroad Company from Mr. Hinok-
ley, OF Boston, that the coupons supposed
to be part OF the proceeds Of the North.
ampton burglary were being regularly paid
in that city.
The matter was placed in the hands Of
private detectives without result. Last
March IL coupons OF 81 900 sinking fund
bonds OF the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany were paid both in the New
York and Boston offices Of the COM
t.Peny. Those presented here were
found to be genuine coupons
but with altered numbers. The coupons
paid in Boston proved to be the property Of
reputable merchant. A few days ago LII.
speCtor Byrnes was notified OF the facts and
as the semi-annual payment Of cOu-
pops became payable yesterday detectives
were assigned to watch iOr the presenta-
ton Of altered coupons. At signal from
Mr.. Lytell, the coupon clerk Of the Union
Pacific company, u man who had given the
name Of CLARK was followed to the
National Bank Of Commerce, where
he went to cash check for
$3.50 Just received Before presenting the
check he recognized Detective Oliver on
the other side Of the street. Tearing up
the check be thrust the pieces in his
mouth and began to eat them. The detec.
tive at once arrested him, but recovered only
a small portion of the check. The prisoner
was recognized as Raymond, alias Mar
shall the ioreer, who in 1873 aided in
placing $75O,0OO Of forged Erie and Buffalo
bonds. For this ollense he was sentenced
to FIVE years in the State prison.

New YoRK. September 2-The 1rttl
to-day presents to the people story o
stupendous political corruption unParallel
ed in the history Of the Republic. Itisno
altogether an unknown story, but it ha'
almost been forgotten.
1t Is interesting as showing how the
Democratic party will strain at a gnat, aitel
having cheertully swallowed a camel.
Dorsey's entire charge, 80 far as the ust
money in the Indiana campaign is con
cerned, is that a large fund was raised and
spent in the canvass. There is not one sin
gle iota Of evidence that the money wat
used in bribes. b
Ifthere was any purchase of votes, the
purchase was made OF the voter direct. Il
was emily only bis own vote-that waspatd
for. to8''h
In the case OF Tilden in 1876, as Trah''
publication elbows, thousands OF dol,
lars were spent in direct and un.
blushing bribery. Not single votes were
trafficked in, but whole States were de.
bauched. The solemn trust vested by
thousands OF votofs in the members Of the
Electoral College were approached, and
they were tempted by immense sums q
money to sell out their constituents, and
deliver over to Tilden the votes that were,
beyond all doubt, given them to cast in
favor Of Hayes. ~ .
Tilden is laying the wires for renomi.
nation, on the ground that he was de.
frauded in lS7G-Dana's denials to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The SRl has pub
lished the proceedings in the Hayes EleC-
toral investigation, and 1t is but fair that
the public should know the extent and the
villaipy Of the plot the Republicans had to
CounteraCt.
They shall have the advantage OF reading
the testimony which duplicates Tilden in u
desperate effort to buy what he could not
otherwise gain, and learn probably for the
first time what the 1ilden cipher dispatches
really moan

John g. 10 be Asked 10 Assume Charge
of Ihe Phrty's Affairs.


CoLuMDUs, September 1.-The demoral-
ized condition Of affairs at the headquar-
ters OF the Democratic Committee which
has so long been noticeable has at last
awakened the party leaders, and an effort
will now be made TO bring order out Of con-
fusion. The Hon, John &. Thompson, who
has been in the East for some time, has re-
turned, and a call for meeting OF the
committee on next Tuesday has been is
sued. All members are earnestly request
ed to be present for the purpose OF COLI
sultation' and to come TO an un-
derstanding as to what programme
should be adopted with view
OF stopping, If possible, the tide
which threatens to overwhelm the entire
Democratic ticket in October. John G..
Thompson, who was thrown overheard
with Judge Hoadiy's consent, as one Of the
conditions Of his receiving the nomination
at the hands OF The State Convention, or
rather MIR. Mclean, has or will be invited
to meet with the members, the committee
wishing to learn Of Mr.. Thompson per-
sonally what course he would recommend
to be pursued in the future. That the
Democrats are very much alarmed at the
condition OF affairs is very apparent, as
Congressman David R. Paige is nov in
New York doing what he can to secure
funds for the prosecution Of the work. The
discouraging reports from Ohio have made it
EN- barrsssiDg labor to raise money to be
frittered away by the State Committee as
now constituted. The chief distinction OF
that body is it's lack OF aSility to conduct
the campaign with either vigor or ordinary
success. II is understood that the Chair
man, Mr.. Barger, is handicapped in such a
manner as TO epbarrass his own plans, and
the result has been what might have been
anticipated. II is predicted that John G.
Thompson will be called by u unanimous
vote Of the committee 10 assume the chief
conduct OF the campaign at its meeting on
Tuesday next. Mr.. Paige will return from
New York and be present at the meeting.
