Who SHAH Be Our Next Covernorq

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Please allow me- through the medium of your
paper to call the attention of our most active
and conscientious temperance workers to the
Importance of securing in positions of trust and
responsibility the very best material which, by
any possibility, it is in our power to do. Let me
ask all honest temperance men: Which would
you prefer should be Governor of our great
State-that man Gray, who recently left your
Republican party, a sore head, and with great
thirst for office, or the Hon w. H. Calkinsl One
of these is morally sure to be our next Governor.
From Gray's known hatred OF the temperance
cause, it is almost certain that he would
veto any temperance laws that the Legisla-
ture might pass. With Gray for Governor, we
have 10 hope Of any legal advancement in the
temperance cause for the next four Years. With
Major Calkins for Governor, we have man of
talent a statesman and man pledged to aid in
the promo ton of the temperance cause. 1t is to
be hoped that some of those fanatical temper
ance preachers who in the fruitfulness Of their
imaginations come out almost every succeeding
day with some SANDER upon Calkins, will
keep up their dirty work till election day for it
is getting so monotonous that even decent tenn
perance men are becoming disgusted, and are
declaring that they will vote for Calkins if they
never cast another vote while the world stands.
Such, in part has been my own experience At
the time the Prohibition nominations were made
[ was partial to that ticket; but, knowing, as do,
the principal charges against Calkins to be false,
have decided, long since, to support, at least,
one man of whom the State can feel proud when
he becomes our Governor. E. G.. OvERMAN.

FLETCHER 4 SHARPE'S AFFAIRS.
The Special Committee of the DepOsitOrs Re-
port the Results of Their Investigations,

Shortly after tn Q failure of Fletcher & Sharpes
Bank special committee, consisting OF Michael
O'Connor, William r. Watson and A. w. Hatch,
was appinted by the depostors to fully investi-
gate the affairs of the bank and report the re-
suits of their researches at an adjourned meet
ing That meeting was held in the Circuit
Court room last night, and there was an attend
anee of about three hundred, many of whom
were ladies. F. J. Van Vorhis was called to the
chair and A. w. Hatch was made secretary.
The committee made quite lengthy report,
many Of the facts given by them being already
generally known. The principal points of in
terest are contained In the following extract:
''The bills receivable account of the bank
amounts to 81, 2S6, 322 50; of this amount Ingram
Fletcher owes $449 296. "a and Albert Fletcher
1921, S3l %, and they jointly $40, SO, making
a total of $40, 574 9S; and in consideration of
this indebtedness they have decided all their
property to the bank, amounting to and APP
praised at $404, 055 The remainder of the bills
receivable account, 1886, TAI, is appraised at
$3.50, 100. To the best of our knowledge and
information dividend of about % per cent.
will eventually be realized by the depositors
on their deposits from the assets of Stoughton
Fletcher.
"rhe business methods and policy of this bank,
wherein its resources have. through four or five
parties alone, become fixed i'll real estate and
manufacturing corporations, contrary to the
banking maxims of all ages, are not to be APP
proved; but We may say that in the course of
our investigations we have discovered nothing
which can in the least degree criminate the man
agement of the bank in question.
''On the 3lst of December, 1878, the indebted
ness Of Ingram Fletcher was $l4l 73l rs, and
that of Albert Fletcher was $87, 093. When
asked to explain the large increase of his in
debtedness since that date, Ingram Fletcher
said; i paid interest on this amount at rates
of II, 10 and per cent. My city tax was from
$1,000 to $1.700 year, and my
county tax s., 800 a year When the
cost of the repairs improvements etc, made
upon his property, is added to the amount of
interest and taxes as above, it may readily be
seen how hs.account reached such proportions
The report goes on to commend the economy OF
Receiver Wallace, in the administration of his
trust and contains lengthy affidavils from w.
Z. Fenton, and Il. 2. Haughey to the effect that
all the transactions between Fletcher & Sharpe
and the indianapolis national banks were bona
fide, and for proper cons!1ar%%tr,;on ~.
inc report of the committee was variously
discussed by the creditors present, and many
questions were asked and answered. No
action was taken further than to add to the
committee W. +. Christian and Hiram Seibert,
with directions for them to continue their re-
searches and report at another meeting to be
held in two weeks.

SWALLOWED AN OUNCE OF POISON.
The Determined Effort Made by William
Toby, Plumber, to Shuttle Of.

William Toby, a plumber boarding at No. 70
North Alabama street, yesterday afternoon
swallowed a half-ounce of laudman and the
same quantity of chloroform, with the intention
of killing himself A few moments before a vial
containing the fatal dose was taken from him
and broken, but he Immediately purchased more
He was found few moments after swallowing
the drug, and before he became unconscious was
removed to the police station, where Dr. Hodges,
the police surgeon, worked with him for over two
hours, and finally gave up the case
as a hopeless one. The galvanic battery
had no perceptible effect upon him, and it was
believed impossible for him to recover. He was
left to die. Last night at 10 o'clock he began to
manifest symptoms of recovery, and in an hour
or two he again became conscious. He was re-
moved to the City Hospital, and the doctors now
say that he will recover. He is about thirty five
years old, and has no relatives in this city, but
his mother and two sisters live near New Albany
Charles a. Merchant, the plumber who was
found dead in his room in the Grand Opera
house Block, last Monday, was his partner in
work, and there is other reason given for his
attempt at suicide than a drunken freak to kill
himself and join his partner.

A Drunken Legislature.

The Atlanta (Ga. Constitution gives Colonel
Nat Hammond as authority for the following
story The most opposite help ever given one
speaker by another was given to me by Judge
Lawson Black during the convention of 1868. l
was opposing granting the Legislature certain
powers and extravagantly exclaimed: Suppose
the very day this came up the Legislature should
be drunk An opponent asked Can the gentle
man conceive of such thing happeningP As
quick as thought Judge Black arose and stated
that such thing not only could happen, but
actually did happen, and that he was
in the Legislature when it occurred. He then
explained that before the war, when the
Trezevant claim before the House, the lob
byists for the claim had given big wine supper,
at which the whole House was present They
had imbibed very freely and were all drunk,
General Toombs opposed the claim. At the
night session the vote was taken, and the House
roared Yes General Toombs, almost alone,
voted No He was shrewd enough, however,
to call Division. Those in favor of the
motion will rise called the Speaker. full
half-minute was given. Not man on the
affirmative was able to rise to the division.
General Toombs did rise when the negative was
called, and defeated tho claim by one to
nothing"

national banking act, just twenty years ago,
yesterday, with Theodore P. Haughey as presi
dent, which position he has since retained. Mr..
Henry Latham, the cashier has been in that
place for fifteen years and to the good judgment,
prudence and discretion of these gentlemen the
successful career of the bank can be greatly at
tributed. 1t has always pursued safe and con

around it have failed, it has retained the conf

COL. DUDLEY,s FUTURE.
He will Eschew Politics and Devote His Time
to Business Pursuits.

P, s. Heath in Washington Critic
have information of the most reliable char
acter concerning Che political and business flu
ture of Colonel W. w. Dudley, Commissioner of
Pensions. Those busybodies who are locating
him in Baine's Cabinet with the Interior port
folio can stop their worry. He will not be in
Blaines Cabinet nor in any other political place.
1t was printed in the newspapers shortly after
Colonel Dudley went into Ohio that there was
an understanding that he was to 90 into the in
coming Cabinet, and that Mr. Blaine had sent
for him to come up to Augusta for the purpose of
arriving at that understanding This is altogether
untrue. Mr.. Blaine did send for Colonel Dud-
ley, but it was for the purpose of consulting
with him regarding the probability of carrying
Indiana am told that after Colonel Dudley
had spoken his opinion regarding the outlook in
his State that he said alphabetically that he was
positively out of the political harness and in
tended remaining out; that he had signed the
article of partnership for permanent business
engagement with Mr.. Bateman, broker and
banker, and that no political position could in
duce him to cancel that agreement: that Mr. Bate
man had removed his family to New York on the
strength of the partnership understanding
However, the Colonel assured the next Pres-
dent that nothing would be left unturned to
bring about Republican success and to be stu
ated so that he could act perfectly free and place
himself beyond the pale of Democratic criticism
he would resign from the Commissionership of
Pensions. The work that he should do for the
party would be done without any possible ex-
peetation of reward. 1t has been published in
this State, too that Colonel Dudley has his
weather optic on the United States senatorship,
and should the Legislature elected on the 4th of
November be Republican that he may become
candidate to succeed Mr. Voorhees, This is also
untrue for the potent, patent and positive reason
above stated. Colonel Dudley has in mind now
the getting of competence He wants to lay up
against cold and rainy days in political and
business adveIsities a sufficient number of
smollens to warrant full stomach and warm
back.

Evansville Journal.
Themalignaut lie which emanated from the
TribuneNews in regard to Major Calkins has
been promptly met by scores of the best citizens
of Evansville who heard his speech. Every man
and woman who heard Major Calkins speak
Knows that the statement that he was intoXi
Gated is a vile and Infamous falsehood. 1t was
born of the spleen and venom of a mean spirited
hound whose little soul contains nothing but
poison m 1t was absolutely manufactured out of
whole cloth, for campaign purposes, and it
strikes the low water mark OF degradation in
politics. When men will resort to this infamy
to injure political opponent, decency is thrown
to the winds. Unless the voters Of Indiana have
lost all sense of decency and sefrespect, this in
famous outrage will react with terrible force
against its authors aiders and abettors, end give
to our noble STANDARDIZED thousands of votes
