More news reaches us to-day from Colonel

itself in feats of arms as well as discoveries of

EIR. BLAINE's LIBEL SUIT.
Will 1t Be Dismissed Because Additional In
terrogatories Are Not Answered?


indianapolis Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.
Amid the excitement of the closing days of the
campaign and the uncertain result of the cleo
ton, the libel suit of Mr. Blaine against the In
dianapolis Sentinel has been allowed to sink
from national notice into local obscurity. The
last move In the legal proceedings was made by
the Sentinel early in October, when it filed a
chancery suit against Mr.. Blaine, demanding
legged hbelous accusations which We're made by
the paper i'll the offensive article The case is
on the docket for hearing at the present term
of Chancery Court, but the attorneys of both
parties claim to know nothing as to when the
trial will be called The Sentinels suit to re-
quire answers to the additional interrogatories
places Mr. Blaine upon the defensive, and until
there is a ruling upon the matter or the interro-
gatories are voluntarily answered the case will
remain in statu quo, probably ending in its dis
mssal from court
Senator Harrison, Mr. Blaines attorney, was
asked to day bv the Dispatch correspondent if
there was any probability of the case being dis
missed
THE question is one" he replied. (Which 1
can not answer, and there is nothing in relation
to the case that can say in an interview"
The Sentinel's counsel say that they are now
waiting for some action upon the part Of Mr.
Blaine, or his attorney, in relation to the ques-
ton at issue before they can proceed further
prominent lawyer, familiar with all the facts
in relation to the case, expresses the opinion
that it will never be brought to trial, because
upon the technical points of law involved in the
suit the Sentinel has the advantage, and al
though morally guilty of SANDER, it will be diff
cult to convict the defendants by the processes
of law

Origin of Painting the Town Red.

Harrisburg Telegraph
How is politics in Harrisburg9' asked Billy
Welsh, the minstrel manager, of Telegraph re-
porter
Red hot" answered the reporter both par
ties have painted the town red"
Mr.. Welsh remarked: "That's an odd expires
sion-painting the town redo you know
where it originated Well I'll tell you. On my
last tour through the country with Callenders
minstrels-a year ago or more-I had as advance
agent man named Campbell. Campbell was a
genius at advertising and never permitted a
rival to get ahead of him. One day in Buffalo
said: Campbell hear that Barlow and Wilson
are covering my bills with their paper I
want that stopped l told him that he would
strike them at Adrian, Mich, and when next l
saw him he had huge bundles of bills ready for
shipment to Adrian III were printed in bright
red. What are you going to dor ] asked. L
going up to Adrian to paste these bills over
Barlow and Wilson's and on every dead wall in
that place l am going to paint the town red,
and he left. Whom we got to Adrian it looked as
if it was fire, so thoroughly had Campbell
done his work. That expression, painting the
town red, was so comic that the colored min
strels caught to it, and whenever there was
any excitement, or anybody got particularly
loud, they always said somebody painting
the town red OF course it spread, and is now
in use by everybody.

Now York Special.
The inside history of this campaign will be
interesting when written up. Upon Mr.. Baine's
part in the campaign no adverse criticism is
made by intelligent Republicans. 1t is admitted
that he threw into the fight all of the ygor that
was in it, and no candidate before the Chicago
convention would have made a better run.
Edmunds 1t is true. would have held the indie
pendent Republicans in line, but he would have
been even a greater incentive than Blaine to
Prohibition boiling, and would have drawn
nothing from the Democratic side. That Blaine
did draw from the Democracy was apparent
nearly everywhere. especially in Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Ohio, and even in New York, where
at the last moment, the good work was checked
by a fanatical friend.
Arthur's friends now freely admit that he
would have been a weaker candidate than Blaine
in New York, and the one thing upon which
Democrats are agreed is that Cleveland's slender
plurality shows that any other Democrat would
have made better run in New York 1t is

The Rev. Father Sylvester Malone, of Brook

supporters of Mr.. Blaine among the Roman Cath
Ollie clergy of this region, has received a letter
from the Rev. Father p Maurice Kaeder of
Crown Point, Ind, in which the latter after ap-
proving the political course pursued by Father
Malone, says:
"The Democratic party has principles, or if
it has they are destructive They would undo
everything, though in slow advances, that the
Republican party has done during the last
twenty-four years. Now, l do not want State
sovereignty-as formerly did-put above the
sovereignty of the United States. In fact our
national progress demands that the United
States have more power In many things we
want uniform legislation which cannot
have as long as State sovereignty interferes
We do not want a solid South, for
solid South means the perpetuation
of the rebellion. Should the Democrats
get into power it would be the South that would
rule, and this rule would ruin the North On the
other hand, nothing would be more to the benefit
of the South than the predominance of Repub-
lican principles within its confines The city of

which were distributed in every precinct, 5000
