GRAY AS 4 KNow-NorH1NG.
The Indisputab1e Proof Furnished by Hi
Old, NeighBors and acknowledgements.


Winchester Journal of To- Day.
New MADISON, o., Sept. Z, 1884.
In answer to your question, Was /. p. Gray a
member of a KnoWnothing lodge at this place?
we answer most emphatically that he was, and
it can be proven as easily as the Cleveland Maria
Halpin scandal; and here is the testimony of
reliable and wellknown citizens of this place
and vicinity who were membersof that order:
George Bacon, the prominent hardware man,
of this place. when told that Grays friends
were denying the charge, said "Wel, Gray
himself will not deny it. Why bless your SOUL
The was the high eockalorum of our lodge at this
place"
John B. Skiver, who married Colonel Gray's
sister, said: 'sOh, yes; Ike was president of the
Know nothing lodge at this place. He certainly
does not deny it,
Wallace Jones an estimable Christian gentle
man, said: why, the Colonel was the most
enthusiastic member we had"
Daniel Miller, a wealthy farmer living near
here, said: 1T was in 1854 when the mytheleg
ical Sam held forth in this village, and Coz.
Isaac T. Gray was his first lieutenant"
W.. p. Espey and j. p. Mitchell aver that
Gray initiated them
a. L. Northop, retired farmer living here,
makes the following statement: tIsaac p. Gray
was chief of the orderof Knowsnethings in this
place. In 1854 he yotedsfor Allen Trimble in.
stead of Salmon p Chase for Governor. In 1856
he voted for Fillmore INSTEAD of Fremont for
President. He was o Know-nothjng from taste.
Most of the order were more opposed to
slavery and Democracy than to the
voting of the foreign element He
cared nothing for the encroachments of the slave
power and never became a Republican more than
skin deep j WAS delegatesto the KnowFnoth-
ing convention held in Cleveland in 1856, and
Isaac p. Gray signed my credentials If Col
Gray has forgettenran this, perhaps he may re-.
member administering the oath of the order to
Moses Calkins (who is a relative of Gray's and
not of kin to Major VIM ii. Calkinsl of Paris,
o., now nearly ninety years of age. Moses says
that Isaac made him kiss the Bible, and that he
felt like breaking the darned puppyls neck fer
the insult"
George Bacon further states that Colonel
Gray and himself were initiated into the order
at Greenyille, o., Colonel Jonathan S. Cranor
administering the oath Of the order
The gentlemen whose statements are given
are all old citizens here and are men of high
standing wherever known; their reputation for
truth and seracity is unimpeached We could
add more, bnt deem the above sufficient to
satisfy all fair-minded men that the charges of
Colonel Gray's Know nothingisn are true. He
went to GreenVille and was initiated for thepur-
pose of instituting the lodge atNew Madison and
was the presiding officer of the lodge during
aalmest, ifsnot all its existence. He was one of
its most extreme and fanatical adherents, deelar-
ing openly that America. was for Americans only
ana that foreigner should be allowed the right
to vote until he had resided in the United States
for twenty-one years

GENERAL cAssIUs M. CLAY.
,ghe Kentucklan Enthusiastically Greeted by
Rush County Republicans.


Rush County Republicans.
Correspondence Of the lndianapo is Journal
RUsHvILLE, Sept. Is The Republican meet
one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever
held in this county. No great attempt had been
made to get a large crowd together. The simple
announcement had been made through our
county papers and small posters, that g eneral
sCassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, would speak in
the courthouse park, on Sept. l5Nat Pr. N.
But this was enough. The name and fame of
the orator was sufficient to call together an inn
mense crowd By the time the speaking was TO
sconnmence the city was crowded with people.
Large numbers coming from Greens
towns. General Clay was detained at
Muncie by missing the train on his
way here from Cleveland, o.. and did not arrive
until 4P. NJ. In the meantime the chairman of
the county committee telephoned to Indianapolis
for spealzerto occupy the time until the arrival
Of General Clay, and j. r. G Pitkin, of Louisi7
ana, was sent down. arriving here at l2:10P p. 81.
Mr. r commenced speaking at 1880, and spoke
about ian honr and "a half. His speech wasaone
Of the most eloquent and reflective ever made in
this county. Fully 1000 people listened tohis
address, which was applauded throughout. Mr..
Pitkin will do effective work for the Republican
party il. he can be prevailed upon to canvass
the State. Mr. Pitkin was followed by
z4seV. hehly n Pritchard, who del1y-
cred an eloquent address of half an
hour, and, while he was speaking, Gen. Clay
was ushered through the immense throne Of
peopleto the speakers stand amidst trerlen-
dous applause. The people seemed crazy to see
the oldveteran. Mr. Pritchard gave way, and
Gen. Clay was introduced He stated that it
was too late to make speech at that time but
as there were great many persons present,
who, in all probability, wanted to see the old
gentleman before they went to their homes, he
. would give them that opportunity He spoke
about twenty minutes and then stopped, saying
be would finish his speech at night. By7 r NJ
the park was thronged with people. 1t was BY
oil odds the largest night meeting ever held in
sRushville. Gen. rOiay's speech was a masterly
arrangement of the Democratic party, and "a
complete defense aud vindieation of the policy
Of the Republican party, and its great leader,
James G. Blaine. The meeting and speeches
were grand success, and will do a great deal of
good here

Tn question OF transportation was once a
serious one. But the very necessities for re-
iiSf sFol .he overcrowded condition Of the
country have solved 1t by an Increase Of
facilities In proportion with the demand for
outlet. 1t ia easier this year for 500, 900 emil
grants to reach America from Europe than IL
was forty year, ago for $1,000. They travel
at less cost and in much better condition.
The Suez canal is rapidly extending the like
facilities for emigration to Australia, Cape
Colony, New Zealand, and the Panama canal
will extend them to the whole Pacific coast
from Cape Horn to Alaska. There has been
no time since the first steamship crossed the
Atlantic distinguished by greater activity in
construction Of new steam vessels than the
present. Men past the middle age will live
TO see this kind of transportation by sea as
lively between the old world and Buenos
Ayres, Sydney, Cape Town, Melbourne and
Auckland as II now Is with the Atlantic ports
Of the United States.

How n Ma with His JuEuIar Vein
Cut Had His Life saved by n Noun

louisville Commercially
81 see,n said an old storm-tosssd and
we~athsr-beaten tramp in a Jefferson street
Ealoon yesterday afternoon, as he laid down
The Commercial, that q story Is going the
rounds about a Polish Jew having his throat
cut one time from ear to ear and then being
hung up by an angry mob and left to die,
but 1t seems he didn't die, for he is now living
In Buffalo. Tbs story goes on to say that
the wtndwipe was completely severed but
that the Jugular vein escaped injury, and
thus the mans Life was saved. The papers
speak Of bin az a physiological wonder who
puzzles the medical schoolA Pshawl these
fellows as have never heerd OF any remark
able Occurrences mako me sick. l remember
wonderful case as came under my personal
observation when / wux 'travelin' In east
Tennessee. l struck ono of them little
mountain towns one time when they wuz
holding county court Every man had q
bottle OF moonshine, and they wuz all feelin'
mighty happy. Finally they got a leetle bit
too hilarious, and a fight sprung up betwiIt
a great big dutfer and a leetle bit of 9 wiry
Teller. The big duffer could "a eat the lsstle
Teller up, clothes and all, but the first
thing he done was to pull one Of these
old pot-metal knives and jab the blade into
tho lsetle fellsr's neck. It went in right
alongside the jugular, and then 1t bent kinder
around and under it. When the big fellow
went to pull 1t out he ripped the leetle feller's
tugular right square In two, and you oughter
seed the blood fly. It squirted about twenty
five feet As the loetls Teller dropped, every
body in the crowd cried, oh, he's a gonsr;
his jugular veins cut and they expected to
see him croak inside OF three seconds, but
there was one Of them mountain doctors
there, and to look at him you'd think he
didn't know a jugular vein from a trombone.
Stand back, said he, give me . chance at
him, and he elbowOd his way through the
crowd to where the leetle fellow lay breathin'
his last. He pulled out OF his pocket some
thin as looked liks a crooked darnin' needle,
and then be hshed around in the wound until
be caught hold OF both ends Of the iugular
vein and pulled 'em out. Then be tied the
ends tight with a piece OF thread to keep the
blood from squirtin' out until an old Teller in
the crow whitfield down a pipe-stem TO make
IL fit in the juKular. When it was shaved
down small enough the old doctor inserted
the pipo-stem and tied the ends of the vein
around it In less than two minutes that
little Teller was on his feet and looking
around for the Teller that cut him.
You mean to say he recoveredf'
Course he did, and you'll find the ease re.
corded in the medical works. Only case OF
the kim ever heard Of in America"
And tho pipe-stem never bothered himT'
mo, only 1t made him sick at tho stomach
at first The stem was a good deal stronger
than the kind he had been used to hnndlin'
and it made him feel a leetle bit dizzy for a
few days.
