SAMUEL j. TILDEN.

But Little Doubt that He Is Opposed to the
Nomination of Cleveland.
New York Special.
There is little or no doubt that Mr. Tilden is
opposed to the nomination of Governor Cleve-
land at Chicago The Cleveland men at Albany
say that it is quite clear to them that the New
York Sun, which for years has been close to Mr.
Tilden and represented his political views, is OPP
posing Cleveland because Tilden does not want
him. The Cleveland men are now only claiming
thirty-tw of the New York delegation outside
of Kings county tBrookIynl but they include
Kings in their full estimate, which, if correct
would give Cleveland clear majority of the del
egation. The opinion here is that Cleveland can
not depend on any of that delegation. McLaugh-
lin Campbell and Jacobs, its principal men, are
openly against him

Some of the Democratic journals have tried to
bolster up the independent newspapers which
oppose Blaine, by holding it to be the duty of
Curtis and others, who didn't have their own
way, to boIt. Now that some of the Democratic
papers are likely to bolt if they don't have their
own way, the principle is not so fascinating.

Hearing in the Coda Murder Case.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WINDFALL, July 2The preliminary hearing
Of Bascum NJ Fouch, Charles Null and Charles
Boldon, of this place, charged with the killing of
Ernest Coda, on the l4th day of June, was had
before Justice Kirkwood yesterday, The Fouch
case was taken up and after the prosecution
closed their side of the case the defense exam
ined few of the States witnesses, and rested,
without disclosing their line of defense. Fouch
was remanded to jail without bail 1t is supposed
he would have been allowed bail If the evidence
of the defense had been heard. The cases of
Null and Boldon were submitted on the evidence
in the Foueh case, without any evidence on their
part They were held for grand jury action in
bonds Of 81, 900 They promptly filed their bonds
and We're released. The examination passed off
without any excitement. There is no probable
ity that any bill will be found against Nun or
Boldon, as they were only in company with
Fouch as deputies to assist in making the arrest.
The prosecution is represented BY G. c. Shirly,
prosecuting attorney; J. A. Swoveland, deputy;
assisted by Clifford and Oglesby Of Upton. The
counsel for defendants are W. o. Dean, of this

are progressing at Camp Miller in an unobtru-

citizens of Richmond have felt called upon to
enter solemn complaints against the summer
warriors because they neglected the camp for
the town and exhibited in our streets
an undue frolicsomeness. Unless the
next few days substantially alter
the moral complexion these complaints
viii not be laid against the troops now on our
borders. They keep themselves in camp very
closely, and, save for the flags andthe other dec

thing out of the ordinary every day life

THREATS AND LIBEL-Samuel Backman
of Winters, has been arrested for threats
against the life of DR.. J. G.. Gregory, of that
town, and ne was held to answer in $500
bonds, in default of which he was lodged
in the county Jail at Woodland last Tues
day. A charge of libel has also been pre-
ferred against him. The Mail says that
some six or seven years ago an adopted
daughter of Backman was taken from his
charge, for some reason, by the Odd Fellows
of Winters, and transferred into the keep
ing of DR.. Gregory. After time Backman
became seized with the idea that the girl
had been induced to abandon her adopted
home by improper influence, and set to
work to regain possession of her. The
method adopted to secure that end was the
publication of circulars charging Gregory
and others whom he imagined were allied
against him with innumerable disgraceful
acts, and at the same time the entire Odd
Fellow fraternity came in for its full share
of vituperative abuse These damaging
circulars were circulated in Oregon, Wash
ington Territory and other places and were
redistributed at different times. Their
character was of the most virulent nature
charging different parties of Winters with
abduction, seduction and other disgraceful
crimes, and also including the names OF
respectable ladies of that town as being
criminally related to these gentlemen. OF
late, the charge against him alleges, Back.
man has been making threats against the
life of DIR. Gregory, and for this he was
placed under arrest. The charge of libel
against Backman embraces the circulating
of slanderous circulars relative to Gregory
and others. The feeling in Winters against
Backman seems to be quite general mas
much us no weight has ever been attached
to the charges set forth in the circulars
where the interested parties were known.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM AND
THE RAILROAD QUESTION.

Some OF Our esteemed Democratic con-
temporarieS are pretending to find in the
State Republican platform an ambiguity
which they charge was intended to present
2 monopoly aspect to the monopolists
and an anti monopoly appearance to anti
monopolists The text Of the document
itself will furnish the ccarest possible
answer TO this charge Of double dealing.
We quote in full that plank of the platform
which presents most fully and clearly tho
position of the party upon this railroad sub
ject
We call attention TO the section or the plat
form Of the National Republican party which
favor Congressional legislation to carry out the
constitutional power OF Congress TO regulate in
terstGte commerce, and especially 10 the Ian
Euage declaring that the principle of public reg
ulation OF railroad corporations is A wise and
sanitary one for the protection OF all classes of
the people, and We favor legislation that shall
prevent unjust discrimination and excessive
charges for transportation and that shall secure
70 0S peoJe AID % The railways oitkc fair aud cqari
protection Of nc tGus. We indorse this declars-
tion.
Herein it is declared to be the intention
of the Republicans to invoke Congressional
legislation to carry out the constitutional
power Of Congress to regulate interstate
commerce. That power is conferred by
the provisions OF Section S. Article L.. OF
the Constitution Of the United States, as
follows: Congress shall have the power
10 regulate commerce with foreign nations
and among the several States and with tho
Indian tribes" IL the law regulating the
rates of transportation for railroad COM
panies and other transportation agencies is
a regulation Of commerce among tho sew
eral States, then Congress has the right 10
pass such regulative measures. And the
platform simply declares that it favors leg
islation To carry out the constitutional
power of Congress in this regard. The
platform quotes and indorseS that expires
sion in the National Republican platform
IN favor Of the public regulation of railroad
corporations. IS wise and salutary And
further declares it is in favor of legislation
that shall prevent only ayust discrimina-
tien and only ercessire charges. and that
shall secure TO the people and TO the rail
ways alike fair and equal protection of the
laws. The Republican State Con-
vention Of California says: We in
dorse this declaration" This is a
declaration OF hostility to unjust
discrimination and excessive charges, but
II is equally declaration that all legisla-
zion affecting transportation companies shall
guarantee 10 them the same protection that
is accorded by the Government to the peo-
pie. When this equal protection was
denied by the State OF California when the
STATE sought to impose burdens of taxation
by modes applicable to corporations only,
the transportation agencies appealed to the
provisions of the fourteenth amendment
which declares that no Stale shall "deny
