TERRE HAUrE, Sept. 1.-THE Vincennes
Commercial, the Indianapolis Journal and
Times published an alleged conversation De
tween Senator Voorhees, and General Man
son. which they say was overheard by gn-
tleman of "unquestioned veracity" on the
cars between Indianapolis and Terre HaJte,
in which they are made to say that the DIM
ocrats can not carry the State, and that bhe
Blaine.Sentinel libel suit was losing the
Democrats many votes. The correspondent
of the Sentinel saw Senator Voorhees, today
just as he was leaving for Evansville, where
he speaks tonight. The Senator said:
''The statement is wholly untrue. II the
mendacious scoundrel who pretends to hare
overheard such u conversation between Gen
eral Manson and me will put his statement
in the form of an affidavit, and in such a
way as to come within the jurisdiction of
any Criminal Court. 1 will agree to send him
to The penitentiarY for perjury on the oath
OF General Manson, supported by my own
and that of another gentleman who heard
what passed between US on the political
outlook in Indiana. For weeks past, as my
friends all know, l have believed the State
was Democratic by 1900 majority, and so
stated to General Manson on the occasion
above referred to- and IN this opinion he
concuTred. The informant of the Vincennes
paper, undergraduates for his 'unauestion-
able veracity' is simply an unquestioned
liar"
Senator Voorhees, says be finds the Demo-
Gratis everywhere organized and confident of
a glorious victory.

BRooKvILLE, Sept. 1.-THE grand rally of
our Republican friends came off Friday with
the drawing cards of Calkins, Holstein and
Goddard, and if the Democrats had stayed
out of town there would not have been a
respectable ward meeting. After drumming
the surrounding country and towns for
weeks the dear people again failed to en-
thuse, and at night they had 225 men and
boys in line, including 125 from Connersville,
and the way they got them to come was an
outrage. Two days before a colored man
came down from Connersville with his en-
ployer to work on q Job of work here, and
failing to obtain boarding for him where
the rest of the men were boarding, sent him
back to work on other jobs. Now, even be-
fore this negro had left Brookville, some in
famous scoundrel sends q dispatch to Con-
nersyille stating that he had been
run out of Brookville, and that the copper
heads would allow no Niger to stay in
Brookville. The next day a long article
from some low-down skunk appeared in the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, corroborat-
ing the Infamous lie and libeling the people
of Franklin County of all parties. On the
day before the meeting announced several
letters of warning were received from Con-
nersville, stating that the darkies were in
dignant, and that white and colored roughs
were coming down from Connersville to
clean out the town, and the Democrats went
to work to avert the trouble, and after much
talk the Republican managers finally sent
word to Connersville that the article was not
true; but quite crowd came from Conners-
vile, and l am informed that each man was
furnished with a gun for an emergency.
Such are Republican methods, but they will
not work. The people understand their OBJ
jects and their days are numbered. No won
der they are getting desperate.

Republican voters, that many women

and will here give one
of his strong points in favor
of a protective tariff. He says: There is tar
iff of 20 per cent on wool. If the Demo
Gratis succeed and elect their candidates this
tariff will be taken off, and wool will
fall to seven to ten cents per

can't sell wool for that, and then when they
have killed all their sheep foreign
nations will say you must give us, well,
nifty cents per pound for wool ;, thenyou pay
twice as much for woolen goods as you do
now" This was Calkins main point on
the tariff. He then jumped on TO
Logan's record, and showed how he
took his regiment and went through the war
with great credit but he did not tell how the
Government forced Logan into the Union
Army after he had raised a company for the
Confederate Army. or how about the Black
laws of Illinois that Logan was the
daddy of. Calkins gave his reason
for voting for Blaine, and that was because
he was . magnetic man, but did not state
anything about his war record, the Mulligan
letters, Little Rock Railroad bonds, or
