CONGRESSMAN WARD.
Brief Talk with Him the Presidential
and Other Current Questions.
Louisville Commercial.


Louisville Commercial
Judge Thomas B. Ward congressman-elect
from the Ninth Indiana district, was in the
city yesterday for few hours attending to
some legal business. He was approached by
reporter for an interview upon the polit-
ical situation, and expressed himself freely
in regard to national affairs. The Judge is
a lifelong Dememocrat and beat Hon. Cod
love S. Ortiz at the last congressional cleo
ton by an unprecedented majority in that
usually reliable Republican district. In
answer to question relative to the position
OF his party in Indiana upon presidential
ticket for 1884 he said:
Between Mcdonald and Hendricks for
first place on the ticket, Indiana Democrats
are pretty evenly divided, and it would re-
quire man of prophetic power to tell which
is the stronger. In western Indiana and GER
tain portions of the north, Mcdonald has
probably greater popularity, while i'll the
southern and eastern sections Hendricks still
maintains his old prestige"
rs there any jealousy between the two
men?'
No; the newspaper accounts of such jeal-
ousy are purely sensational. From my own
personal knowledge l can say that they are
Oh terms of intimate friendship, and share
the confidence of the party in our State. II
either should be nominated in national con-
vention, the other will certainly not with
hold his hearty acquiescence and support"
'Is the party well organized for the next
campaign
Yes, indeed; the close contests and fierce
struggles for which Indiana has been noted
in the politics of the last twenty years, could
have no other result than to establish thor
ough organization. We do not fear the next
quadrennial contest, and feel confident of
our ability to win, with either the ticket of
1876, or a new one, provided Indiana secures
a representation upon it."
How do the congressional delegation stand
in the race for the speakershp?'
Upon that point, it is little too soon to
speak, with any degree of certainty. Even
my own colleagues are non-commttal as for
whom they may be expected to vote. The
drift of opinion is rather against
Randall and Cox, and in favor
of a Western candidate. Mr.. Carlisle, of
this State, has a good many friends and adj
mrers, and would doubtless make an excel
lent Speaker. Still, as l have said, it is not
yet time to commence counting the vote"
Have you pledged yourself to any candi-
date?"
mo, sir Neither have any of the Indi-
ana delegation on our side; few of them have
even expressed preference, and just now it
would be unwise to do SO. How far private
opinion or personal acquaintance and friend
ship can be relied on by the several aspirants
for the position remains to be seem"
Has any preliminary caucus been at
tempted?"
NO; and don't believe any will be be-
fore the clans gather at Washington in De-
cember"

Havanese embroidery is fashionable en-
broidery formed for butte hole stitch,
worked with cclored silk or crewels upon
crash, cloth or any thick material. The
patterns used for this work are the conven-
tional tower-shaped designs or the geometri-
cal designs used in high-art crewel- work and
where the design would be too heavy worked
entirely in buttep-hole stitch, the open
stitches used in crewel-work backgrounds
are inserted into the centers to tighten the
effect. To work: Trace ont a design upon
oatmeal cloth or crash, and should it con-
tain large leaves cover them entirely with
button-hoe graduate the length of the but
ton-holes from the stem to the point of the
leaf, and fill in one side of the leaf with a
row OF button-holes turning the raised edge
to the center of the leaf, to form the middle
vein. Work all the stems in crewel-stitch;
the flower work in single distinct petals; fill
each petal with button-holes, and turn the
edge to the center of flower. Cover detached
parts of the design and leaves too small to
require a center vein with rows of button
hole and turn the edge of the button-hole to
the interior OF the design.
