WASHINGTON. Aug. 3O.-The Republi-
cans Of Ohio and Indiana-the intelligent
leaders. L mean-haye no great hopes Of
carrying either State this fall. The Ohio
men are begging the campaign managers
here and in New York for money, which
the campaign managers haven't got to
give; for the business men can't be
scared or teased into giving, and
the squeezing committee finds the
poor clerks in the departments

civil service reform idea" that they have
no room for that patriotism which shows
itself in liberal voluntary contributions

more or less Intimate relations growing
out of former close association with the
more respectable Ohio Republican lead
ers, and l have no hesitation in saving
that they now believe that unless some
great change occurs in the condition Of
affairs IN their State that Newman, Dem

II Is Interesting to know that il is in very
much the same condition as Ohio. Calkins.

very popular in his way, but not more so
than his Democratic opponent, and he is
no stronger with the PrOhbitiOnist5

of the HOOsier Republicans is shown not
only by their incessant requests for money,
but by the constant appeals they make to
Commissioner of Pensions Dudley to come
out and help them, Dudley is the finest
political organizer in the Republican par
" of Indiana. 1t was he who carried In

w ell Informed Indiana Republicans
laughed when they learned from the Dor
Eey dinner in Now Work that stephen ".
Dorsey had carried Indiana for Garfield.
The fact was, as they knew. that Dorsey
had been about as useful in that fight as
though he had been locked in the ice at
Lady Franklin Bay. Dudley, adopting the
methods Of John W. Foster, now our
Minister at Madrid. then our Minister to
Russia, who had in 1872 effected such an
organization in Indiana as had never been
seen IN any " eSteTn State, had wrought
the party up TO the perfection Of organ
lied effort. There was no hurTah about
it. A lOud-mouthed, bOastful worker
was relieved as soon as he was known,
and his place supplied with quiet, careful,
genuine workers, who could answer for
Dudley knew to man exactly how every
EOter in the state would vote. This seems
incredible. But II is true, nevertheless.
He knew, too, what arguments were nee
essary to convince the dOubters or to con-
vert even his opponents. When he was
all ready he asked for $4,000 Just a short
dme before the election. 1t was carried
to Cleveland. o., by Whitelaw Reid and
Me-tOO Plat, together with $4,000 which
had been asked for by the Ohio managers.
Platt carried Dudley's $4,000 across the
line into Indiana, and there Dudley,
through his own agents, put it where IL
would do the most good. Dorsey never
saw dollar of it. Dorsey did 90 out to
Indianapolis, it is true, and did take some
mOney-abOut $4,000, L believe-with
him. But il was all needed to satisfy 2
Cincinnati newspapers demands, and it
finally reached the capacIOus pockets Of
its prOprietOTs. Not a dollar of it was
spent in Indiana. The $4,000 that Platt
brought, a smaller sum that Thomas J.
Brady brought, and the local cOntribu-
tions were all that the State Commit
tee had to work with. Yet Dorsey
swelled around his hotel in his own gross
style, as though he had done all the work
that made the Republican victory posi-
bic. As a matter of fact, all that he did
was to eat and drink and drink AMI eat,
and swear and boast and boast and swear
and smoke expensive cigars. Dudley did
the work, and now the Indiana Republi-
cans. who know all this so well, are be-
seeching Dudley, to whom they refused
the nomination for Governor, to come out
and do the work all over again in the in
terest Of the man who beat him in con-
FentiCn. Dudley would gladly 60 Just to
show them, with his eye on a prospective
SenatOrship or CabinetpOsitiOn, that they
cannot get on without him. But
he Will only 90 upon one cOndi-
ton, and that is, that he shall have
absolute control Of the campaign-absO-
lutte. John c. New, who IS fool enough to
thinE himself DUdley's equal as a cam
paign manager, must give up his position
as Chairman Of the State Executive Com
mittee and come down into the ranks with
an honest purpose to follow where Dudley
leads. This is just what the stlf-necked
New Will not do. Consequently Dudley

Republicans win be routed up hill and
down dale, foot, horse and dragons.
JAY GOULD To BUILD A PALACE IN
WASHINGTON.
am sorry tOleaTn that Mr.. Jay Gould,
having exhausted the other cities of the
United States. proposes to buy lot on
one Of our handsome avenues and 70 build
thereon a palace in which TO spend his
winters. 1 am not SONY because I con-
slider Mr.. Jay Gould an undesirable citi-
zen personally. l know that he is not.
/ know that in his own home he is one of
the simplest, kindliest and most delight
full Of men. He has spared no pains TO
cultivate his intellectual powers. They
have been fed with the best that can be
found in English, Latin and Greek
literature, for he knows little of
any other. ] know that his opinions
in regard to the fine arts are sound and
sensible, and that ne would be a powerful
factor in the development of the great
latent artistic possibilities Of Washington.
know, too, that his family is sensible and
agreeable; that his children are well bred
and well educated. Mr.. Gould and Presi-
dent Arthur are the only two prominent
men who, to my knowledge, take such a
personal interest in the education Of their
little daughters as TO devote a portion OF
each evening to a review OF the blossoms
which the little girls are to recite on the
next day. / know that Mr.. GOuld's
household has always been so man.
