around the square and to the hotel Major
Crayens drove across the country from his home
at Osgood, and was escorted to the grounds by

club. Mr. Holman spoke for an hour and

hobby, the public land grants. He praised his
friendship for TIE soldier evidently forgetting
that his party was not so friendly during the
years 1861 to lS6j inclusive. He touched upon
the tariff, but did no talk, as usual about trace

Major Grubbs in Bartholomew County.
Correspondence of tie indianapolis journal.
COLUMBUS, Oct. MAJOR George W. Grubbs,
candidate for Congress in the Fifth district, has
made canvass in this county the present week.
He had large meetings almost everywhere and
made many friends. Matson's record as chair
man of the pensions committee, and his position
on the tariff are telling against
him, as are also his repeated pledges not to be
candidate for third term, and Republicans are
feeling sanguine of success, notwithstanding the
large majority to overcome. Major Grubbs
spoke here last night to one of the largest and
most enthusiastic audiences of this campaign
At the close of his speech Mr.. Howard Duffy
one of the best known and most influential bust
ness men Of this city, heretofore a Democrat,
created a sensation by making a short speech in
which he declared that he done with the
Democratic party, and would henceforth vote
the Republican ticket fromtop to bottom. Duffy
is a brOther-inlaw of George W. Cooper, Mat
sons chief competitor for the nomination.

The original statement was published on

In Florida and some other portions of
the south tho shotgun has been laid aside
temporarily because its echo went too far
north, but another system has been in
augurated more effectual in suppressing
republican majorties than even the
deadly shotgun. The bourbon campaign
committees of Florida are sending out
instructions and orders to registration
officers, over whom they have not q
shadow Of authority, in pursuance Of
plan that has been adopted for tho dis
franchisement of the masses of colored
voters. 1t is well understood that these
arbitrary orders will be literally obOyed.
Officials will not dare disobey.
The election districts of Florida are
laid Off and described by the board of
county commissions. having artificial, not
natural boundaries, and are numbered.
Not one applicant in ten for registration
will be able to give the boundaries Of his
district. The plan of the democrats is to
puzzle and perplex the voter with ques-
tions about boundary lines and numbers
of districts. and try to talk him out of
being registered. If that fails, and he
insists upon being registered, the officer
in charge will begin to administer the
oath, but before it is completed
the applicant is to BIO summa-
rily arrested, either without war
rant OF with a warrant issued upon an
affidavit that crime was attempted to
be committed bef're the candidate for
registration made application at all. He
is then to be dragged before justice to
prevent his being registered and to in
timidate others by playing on their fears
of arrest. This is the deliberate plan OF
the democrats of Florida to carry the
state at the coming election.
The registration officers are commanded
not to register names without requiring
the registration oath. Then, before the
oath is fully administered, the orders are
that the applicant for the simple right OF
citizenship shall, without trial, without
evidence, without hearing, without judge
or jury, be adjudged by deputy clerk
guilty of the crime Of attempting to com.
NIT perjury. dragged before O Justice Of
the peace, and If he fails to give bond

THE Cincinnati Enquirer does not at
tempt to belttle the republican triumph
in Ohio. 1t faces the music and talks
right out. Listen:
The fight which closed on Tuesday lacked
in nothing on eithersd to call out the people.
Both parties had fair notice that on the 18th
of october there would be n tremendous en-
counter for political supremacy in this state
No platitudinal excuse, no appeal for sym
pathy, no complaint against outrageous treat
ment-in short no baby act''-can soften the
situation or pallate the effects Of defeat. The
effect of the republican victory in Ohio on
other states will of necessity be considerable
No sensible democrat will desire to be blinded
10 the true situation. No man, however
ardent in his democracy, will deny the ami
mating effect on republicans, If he subordi.
mates his desires and his prejudices to his judg-
ment. 1t was great mistake on the
part of democrats to claim Ohio This state
has uniformly given republican majoritles at
October elections In presidential years, and
has with comparative rarity given democratic
majorties in off years. Precedents considered
together should have governed, and not single
and exceptional years. Whatever may have
been the general democratic impression two
weeks ago, II Is apparent now that the victory
of last Tuesday was in a great degree the
sequence of the presence and magnificent gen.
eralship of both James G. Blaine and John A.
Logan.

honest enough to tell the truth and can
did enough to admit defeat and its at

Protection for the Tcrrapin.
The Cdterer.


The greatest danger to the continual
ton Of the terrapin lies in its wholesale
destruction by our seaside hotels and
summer resorts. There is remedy, and
but one, that will etfectually prevent the
extinction OF the terrapin. Let the legis.
latures Of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and
Delaware, which have already stringent
game laws in other directions, show some
desire to protect tho terrapin. Let them
enact that any person or persons catching
or having in their possession any terra
pin in ponds, barrels, boxes, or any other
place of device for tho keeping of them,
between the 1st day of April and the LIST
day of October, shall be fined So and the
cost of prosecution for each and every
terrapin SO caught and found in his or
her possession between the dates above
mentioned. And 1t should be further
enacted, with like penalty for breach
Of observance, that no person or persons
should at any time have in their possess
sion any female terrapin measuring less
than five inches on the bottom she'll,
lengJhwise. Such or similar measures
would, we think, in time bring the terra
pin within reach of moderate purses.
