Joseph II. Mcdonald.

Indiana has had many distinguished
sons who have rendered conspicuous
service to the country. Not the least
prominent of these is the Hon. Joseph
f. Mcdonald whose name is now be-
ing mentioned as the probable candi-
date of the Democratic party in the
approaching Presidential contest.
Joseph Ewing Mcdonald is descend
ed from Scotch and Huguenot parent
age and was born in Butler county,
Ohio, on the Goth Of August, 1919. To
the careful training which he received
in his youth from his mother Mr..
Mcdonald is largely indebted for his
superior qualities. His father died
when he was yet small boy, and until
he was twelve years of age young Me
Donald spent his time on the farm
receiving instructions from his mother.
He early expressed a desire to study
law, but it was thought advisable for
him to learn a trade before committing
himself to professional career. Ac-
cordingly he was apprenticed to the
firm of Andrews and Nichol, saddlers
and harness makers at Lafayette, Ind.
for term of six years.
Mr.. Mcdonald is now a resident OF
Indianapolis, Indiana, where he is
known as hospitable, kind and gener
Gus neighbor. He has been three
times married, his present wife being
one Of the most handsome and accom-
plished ladies in Indiana.-SunaS

House has been one of conservatism
and economy. During the period
of financial issues the Democratic
party suffered to q greater extent
than the Republican from the West
ern craze for reputation and infa-
tion, but upon nearly all the great
financial measures the best men OF
both parties were compelled to unite
to save them. Since those issues were
measurably settled by the resumption
of specie payments the Democratic
party has laid itself open to criticism
more by its timidity and conservatism
than by the exhibition of any other
quality. In the greatest test of patri'
otism to which the Democratic party
has been subjected since the war
that of peaceable submission to the
electoral count of 1877-the conduct
of the party leaders will receive and
deserve the highest praise of history

Mr. AIIertOn's Protest.

l find myself reported as going to
roll up my sleeves and work for the
ticket, as having said l believed Blaine
could carry New York, when l have
always said exactly the contrary. l
should be obliged to you if you would
publish what l really do believe and
say. Why the falsehoods alluded to
shonld be circulated is a mystery to
me. Speaking for myself and as an
independent Republican, a single
voice, but nevertheless an integral
part of this great Nation, / should
consider myself wanting in honor and
manhood did l not voice a protest
against the action of the National Re-
publican Convention. Blaine and Lo-
gan, with terrible laxity of moral
ideas in party supposed to be gov
erned by moral principles, have been
forced upon the minority Of that party,
but minority of Republicans who
will not permit their loyalty to
the party to interfere with their
duty as citizens of she State.
To permit it by tacit consent, or
oppose by negative support is wrong.
| am convinced man should have
the courage of his convictions, and il
he believes the nominations to be a
wrong to the party and the people he
should oppose them by his vote and
open condemnation. The defeat OF
the ticket next November would not
be a Republican defeat, but IA defeat
of the place-hunters, the Powell Clay
tons, and their ilk, men who, having
nothing to hope from clean man
are willing to risk the chance
of electing such an unclean one
If the wrong is condoned, can we in
the future look forward to anything
better? Will not the party all the
more surely come under the control o
the worst elements, and be in act anC
name the party OF corruption anC
spoils? The Chicago Convention is ,
thing of yesterday, but who can say
that the evil that it did will not becOnn
a scandal and disgrace through all tn,
years to come? Better, far better t.
take the heroic remedy, and fearlessll
do our utmost to cleanse this blot
from the Republican name, believin,
that therein lies the hope of the party
If the Democratic Convention vii
not give us man whom we can sup
port, as | trust they will, we must OF
ganize and nominate candidates rep
resenting the highest principles of
party platform, and look to those goo,
r men and true who value the peace
honor, and prosperity ofthe State abov
the mere existence of party.

John Kelly, the well known Tam
many chieftian, is 55 years old, and a
native of the Fourteenth Ward, New
York city. His father emigrated to
this country from Ireland on account
of the troubles of 1898 and came inn
mediately to New York. John was
one of large family who, at an early
age, were dependent upon their moth
er for support and education, receiving
the latter at public school. When
twelve years old he was apprenticed to
a CRATE manufacturer in Grand street,
and at twenty-four went into business
for himself. He was elected alderman
of the Fourteenth Ward in 1854, the
next to Congress and reelected to the
latter body in 1857. During his last
term he was elected sheriff of the city
and county. At the expiration of his
shrievalty he sojourned abroad several
years and spent his time in study of
the sciences, arts and political econe-
my. Mr.. Kelly is scholar of no
mean pretensions, and the remarkable
part of it is, that his learning was
acquired at middle age.
Not long after the downfall of the
Tweed Ring, Mr.. Kelly's well known
character and capacity secured him
the leadership of the New York De-
mocracy, which he still enjoys with
unimpaired influence apparently, not
withstanding he has lately lead them
to defeat rather than to victory. Since
his Chieftainship of Tammany, he
held the Office of Comptroller His
term of Office expired a year ago. He
made II good Comptroller, being
watchfnl of the city's interests and at
tentive to the duties of his office. Mr.
Kelly has been married twice, his pres
ent wife whom he married in 1877, is d
niece of Cardinal Neutrality-suspicious.!

The Republican ticket in Wisconsin
is being bolted on all sides on account
of Blaine's nomination. A large num-
Der OF popular Republicans have eopen.
ly announced that they will not sup
port the Republican ticket. The
ticket is particularly obnoxious to the
German-Americans. The Free Press
the afternoon German paper, bolted
the ticket on the day of the nomina
tion.
A sensation was created in politica
circles by Der Herald, the most influ
ential and widely circulated German
newspaper in the West and North
west. Hitherto it has been a stancf
Republican organ. 1t announces in 1
double-leaded editorial that it will no
support the Blaine and Logan ticket
Furthermore, that in the event of tn,
Democratic National Convention
nominating Cleveland or Bayard up
on a sound Democratic platform j
will support such ticket, withou
prejudice to its returning to its allie
glance to the Republican party in fu
ture campaigns. DR.. Senner, editor
in-cheif of Der Herald, in an interview
said he believed that this view voice'
the sentiments of the great mass O
the German Republicans OF the Wes
and Northwest.

Cleveland will Win.

The Democrats are in great glee
over the harmonious turn OF affairs at
Saratoga. The Presidential outlook
formed the chief topic of gossip
among the Democratic statesmen at
the capital. There was practically
but one sentiment and this was OF
complete self-satisfaction and felici-
tation. Cleveland will get the nomi-
nation" was varied only with "Cleve-
land will get it ON the first ballot .at
Chicago" This is the prevailing idea,
but there are Democrats who shake
their heads sagely and remind the
Cleveland boomers that "there is many
slip 'twixt the cup and the lip,
especially in politics; that there are
two weeks yet in which to beat Cleve.
land, and no one knows what these
two weeks may turn up. The Cleve.
land men are satisfied that the New
York delegation will support Cleve
land as a unit at Chicago.

FINDLAY, Ohio.-A remarkable oc-
currence, well authenticated, is re-
lated at Leipsic, station on the
Nickle Plate road, near here. A we'll
known married lady, who was in a
delicate condition, was supposed to
have expired, and placed in vault
preparatory to burial. Her friends be-
came afraid they had not used due
caution in permitting the burial to
take place without another attempt
to restore her to life, and insisted that
the coffin should be opened. This was
done, and to their astonishment and
delight faint flush appeared on her
cheek. The body was hurriedly re-
moved from the coffin and the lady
finally revived. The strangest par,
OF the matter is that the lady has
since become the mother oftwin daugh
ters, and they are all doing nicely
