A Side Issue at Bloomington.

Correspondence Of the indianapolis Journal.
BLooMINeToN, Sept 20. To-day, at the close
Of the Democratic speech Of John G. Robinson,
which was given out to be in answer to that Of
Major Calkins, delivered here on Wednesday
last quite lively controversy was begun be-
tween J. G. McPheeters, jr., and Professor J.
G. Newkirk, Of the State University, on the po-
litical issues A large crowd had gathered, the
boys generally became excited, and when the
controversy closed the feeling on each side was
at white heat. Lon D. Rogers, chairman of the
Democratic county committee, proposed three
cheers for Professor Newkirk This incensed
the Republicans and three rousing cheers were
offered for Mr.. McPheeters, and then three more
for Blaine. Fortunately this ended the matter.
The crowd to hear Robinson was not as large as
is usual on Saturday, and the speech was a
complete failure. The Judge could not create
any enthusiasm.

Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal
COLUMBUS, Sept 2o.-Our people have had a
feast of good Republican gospel this week, yet
do not seem to be satisfied, but want more.
Last night Mr. Allison Sweeny, the colored
orator, addressed one Of the finest meetings Of
the campaign, and the speech was worthy the
audience. Tonight the courthouse was packed
to hear Lieutenant governor Hanna whose plain,
logical presentation of the issues was received
with the liveliest satisfaction, and did much to
open the eyes of more than one person in the
audience. We are steadily gaining here, and

AN oDIoUs AND HYPocRITICAL ATTACK.
Philadelphia Record Qnd.)
Mr. Blaine's letter to Mr. William Walter
Phelps will be read with interest, tempered by a
feeling of shame that it should be deemed neces-
sary for possible President of the United States
to write such a letter The civilization in which
the love of wife and the fair fame of mother
are made the targets of partisan malice and the
theme of public discussion lacks alike the ele-
ments of Christianity and chivalry, and has a
mere film of hypocrisy over its brutality that
renders it more odieus.
BLOW THAT HAS MISSED ITS AIM.
Chicago Tribune
The blow was struck at Blaines family in or
der to injure Blaine's canvass, but it has missed
its aim Mr. Blaine in this matter has the active
sympathy of every man and woman of decent
instincts, and the political turn viii Oh the Sen
tinels line of defense has given to the suit will
disgust the country with Democratic methods.
Somebody ought to be sent to the penitentiary
for this business. It will be seen that Mr. Blaine
has already made an answer to the main charge,
which is sufficient to convict the Sentinel of
gross libel
THE WORK OF POLITICAL JAcKALs
Philadelphia Press.
No one can read the straightforward story
which Mr.. Blaine tells Of his early life, and
which is published elsewhere, without being
moved to deep indignation at the grievous and
cruel wrong which certain political jackals have
sought to do him. There is indeed no adequate
redress for such cowardly attacks as this. 1t
may be well enough to visit the authors with the
penalties which the law allows. but for the rest
such creatures can only be left TO the execTation
and scorn of the noble manhood and noble
womanhood of America

The Richmond Opera-HOuse Packed with
People Anxious to Hear Cassius M. Clay.
RICHMOND, Sept. 30. -Cassius NJ Clay was
the recipient Of an ovation here tonight. The
Park Opera-house was crammed with people
and hundreds were unable to secure admission.
On being introduced Mr. Clay said he never
took any pride in being called consistent party
man, much less a partisan, but he was always
welded to the principles advocated by the party
with which he has at times been identified and by
way of encouragement to his fellow Republicans,
with whom he is now arrayed against the solid
South he would say he had never been a false
prophet; that he had never advocated great
measure that he had not lived to see prosper,
and in presenting facts to substantiate the
declaration he reviewed the history of the par
ties from the time he made his debut as a Wing
to the present In comparing the
Republican party with the Demo
cratic patty he said the former had
stood firm by every principle it ever advocated,
while from experience in the so-called Demo
cratic party he was qualified to brand it as the
fraudulent Democratic party, as it never EN-.
braced a principle that was democratic. But
he said he had entered this campaign after re-
solving four years ago. at the age OF three score
and ten to abandon politics, because Of the Hn-
changed feeling IN the South. which he knew to
be worthy of more serious consideration than
the people of the North seemed to imagine be-
caiise he knew that they would Kill to get into
Office. and would not hesitate to kill in order to
maintain power, by which they hoped to pay
the British bonds and the rest of the rebel debt,
and not only reimburse the South for four min,
ion slaves but for other losses sustained by the
aholifinn of slavery.

FOOTHTLL INVITATION

No more inviting prospect is to be found
that of the foothill region of central Cali
fornia. There are in the Sierra foothills
lands and opportunities for thousands of
homes. These lands, both Government
and railroad tracts, are available near lines
of transportation, and are to be had on very
reasonable terms. Forty sixty or eighty
acre tracts can be secured in great number,
that for fruit, berry, grape and other culture
are unexcelled, and promise to the industri-
Gus certain and handsome returns Even

means Of the purchaser, as an Investment
none better can be advised the man who
can pay down a few hundred dollars, or a
small sum in advance and installmentS
thereafter; and to procure lands on such
terms is not difficult. A small tract thus
ayailed of can be cleared up and put under
cultivation ut less expense than almost any
of the Western wild lands From Colfax
to Sacramento, and back to the American
river, for instance, the country has been
settled up and is being brought under cult
walton and profitable yield with marvellous
rapidity, and this section now promises to
be one of the brightest garden spots of the
State. There is still room in it for more
homes and broader improvements, and for
culture of products not yet introduced to
our agricultural system What has been
done in this Sacramento district is capable
of accomplishment in many other of the
foothill regions. There are scores of men
of moderate incomes in every considerable
community who could better their condi-
ton by putting 4 portion OF their salaries
into foOthill lands, being content with
small parcels; and the only wonder is that
so few avail Of the opportunities the pres

with these lands all taken up, and their
values greatly appreciated, thcnotable COM
