PITTsBURG, July 22-Delegates to the nation
al prohibition convention are arriving ON every
train, and a considerable amount of enthusiasm
is manifested among them, as well as among
local friends of the movement. Mcdonald seems

of removing the appointing power from the
President, and making all Offices elective; oppose
all m~onopolies and special privileges; declare in
favor of reserving public lands for actual set
Tiers; denounce stock and grain speculations,
and take high grounds on all questions Of moral
reform; will also favor female suffrage, and de-
nOunee polygamy. Estimates given of the prob
able strength of the party vary with the en-
thusiasm of the delegates. Some claim they will
poll five hundred thousand votes, while the more
sanguine put it as high as one million.
The delegates to the convention are nearly all
on the ground The total number is about four
hundred, and there are twice as many aIternates
and visitors The hotellohbies are crowded. and
delegates are eaueusing. The national commit

careful nursing Of q few selfappointed guardians
of the public morals of Indiana. With possibly
no exception, the temperance people of Monroe
county are opposed to a third ticket, having long
since been convinced that it is only an effort to
give aid to Democratic success. AS an evidence
of this, Democratic politicians stand about on
the streets advocating a third party, notably
among them, John r. East. These men are adj
dressing ratification meetings, and pledging
their support to the entire Democratic ticket.
Rev. ]. E. Brant, one of the best-known tenn
perance workers in the State, and a leading
Methodist preacher in southern Indiana, will
next Saturday publish an open letter in the Tele
phone, in which he afarms the statements
above, and advises the temperance people. for
their own interest, and the good they may do
the cause, to work within the old parties, stat
ing that a third party is almost certain to put
in power their avowed enemies, and only injure
the cause for which it was intended to do good.
Rev. Brant further states that a constitutional
convention is what the temperance people have
asked for, and now they should work to that
end Rev. Brant will be a delegate to Indianapo-
lis. This may be stated to be the opinion Of
almost every temperance man in the community.

General Browne Puts Some Embarrassing
Questions to Col. Gray.
Correspondence Of the indianapolis Journal
WrEcHEsTER, Ind, July 2L.-The malicious
attack on Gen. 7. M. Browne in to-day's Sentinel
for his alleged interruption Of Col Gray, at this
placeon Saturday night, comes with bad grace
from Col. Gray or any of his hcnchmen. In the
course Of one of his characteristic demagogicaI
speeches Gray asserted that the Republicans in
Congress moved to strike out the enacting clause
Of the Morrison tariff bin Whereupon Gen.
Browne asked him if he would permit a ques-
tiOn, to which Gray readily a~ssented, and Browne
then asked him if Converse of Ohio, did not
make the motion and if Converse was not q
Democrat.
Again, in discussing what the Republican and
Democratic parties had done for the Irish, he
contrasted the rescue of Rosetta with that of Nc
Sweeny, and asserted that the prompt rescue of
Rosetta showed what the Democrats had done
and would do for the Irish. Whereupon General
Browne asked him if he would say to this crowd
that Koszta was an Irishman. Gray's embar
rassment and confusion on being caught in the
lie is what produced the interruption Of his
speech.
In addition, it can be said that the mention Of
the name of I. A. Hendricks and the 'iold
ticket, > though frequently made, created no en-
thusiasm whatever. The only sentiment that
was vociferously applauded was that watchword
