To the EDITOR of the indianapolis Journal:
Have just received a letter from Mr. John J.
cooper, candidate for Treasurer of State. 1 am
free to say that do not understand the intent
or purpose of this letter Mr.. Cooper has adopted
the system of slips or stickers to secure voters
We must say that it is an ingenious fabric, and
IF interwoven may add strength TO the vote cast
for Mr. Cooper.
We do not know why Mr. Cooper should
think that we might prefer his name to that of
Rodger r. Shiel We know that Mr. Shiel is q
representive of the Emerald Isle, and it is said
that he is Catholic.
We believe that an Irishman has the right to
become representative of Americanism, and
since church and state are two distinct bodies,
these questions do not affect the choice of the
Republican candidate for Treasurer of State.
As a minister we intend to abide within the
boundary line of rights and privileges. and for
this reason spurn the opportunity to influence
voters so kindly presented in the fourteen slips
presented by John j. Cooper. Ours is un-
divided choice. JOSEPH Fl. REED,
Pastor Pres 5yterian Church.

Professor Blount of the Colorado Agricultural
College, states in a late paper that in 1873 he
planted y pounds of ndpcked wheat on
an axaet square acre, in rows eighteen inches
apart. and at harvest threshed out 81 bushels
In 1880 he planted on 40 square rods 30 ounces
of fine selected wheat, and the product was Is
bushels or nearly 723 bushels per acre. The
same year. on 70 square feet, he planted IS
kernels Of extra fine seed, weighing 40
grains and the product realized exactly 10.
pounds, nearly at the rate of 100 bushels per
acre.
II tie Professor has made no mistake in this,
It would seem that the farmer can, if he will in,
troduce such reforms into his business that
his revenue may be greatly increased with actu-
ally less outlay. Does thin seeding contain the
secret of heavy wheat felds2 If it does then the
announcement of the tillering process and of
cultivation necessarily gives new vigor to the
plant; consequently the maturity of the plant is
retarded, and at the same time made better.
When thickly sown it makes few if any tillers,
and its tendency is to ripen earlier, with shorter
straw, shorter heads and fewer kernels. The
greatest enemy to wheat is wheat it cannot
bear to be crowded,

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
Inclosed find letter and pastors from John ].
Cooper, candidate for State Treasurer Evil
IDENTIFY Mr. Cooper has mistaken his man. On
account of the free-trade tendency of the De-
moeracy, and their forsakng principles for tn e
sake of Office, being ready to adopt any measure
that they think viii insure change or success,
J. though formerly, with three exceptions,
having voted the Democratic ticket, now feel
that the success Of the business interests of the
country demands my vote and support to that
man who has no peer in America, James g.
Blaine, and the entire Republican ticket The
experience we have received i'll electing dis
honest and corrupt treasurers to Office
in Bartholomew county, leads me to the
be elected to the treasurship of Indiana, and in
my judgment 'Rody She'll" is the man. No,
Mr.. Cooper, can not use the pastors. The Re
publican party has principles enough to bind
fhem to their party and elect their candidates
without trading this year 1 would suggest that
you send Judge n. T. Carr as he has moth
ing much to employ his time since he has been
retired from the leadership of his
party here Of the young bloods
of Democracy. The good old Democratic major
ity in this county has been reduced from 800 to
200. The Republican party has bright prospects
of wping that out this year We are looking
for good results in Bartholomew and this con-
gressional district We expect to 'sgrubbs out
Colonel Matsons maj ority and enter him on the
retired list, and elect most of the Republican
county ticket, if not all. Indiana and New York
will go for Blaine and Blaine, win be the next
President, put me down as a poor guesscr.

Additional Particulars of the Killing Of Keith
at EdwartIspOrt.
Special to the Indianapolis ournal-
EDwARDsPoRT, Oct 80. The Nincennes re-
port in the journal gives an lncerrectidea of the
murder here last night. The facts were as fol
lows: The crowd was quietly dispensing after
the speaking when William Atkinson no
torious rough, who was intoxicated, passed some
thirty or forty yards from the crowd, and fired
three shots, the last one hitting young farmer
named Lincoln Keith, son of +. NJ. Keith, of
Freelandvlle, from the effects Of which he died
in about two hours. Both parties are of respect
ed parentage. The affair IS the more regretted
for the reason that Keith was very quiet, inof-
fensive young man To Atkinson's recklessness
alone can the killing be charged, as his dsposi-
ton is such that some such result has been ex
pected for years. Politically, Atkinson is a
Greenbacker. as is his father, while Keith and
his family are Republicans-all being on the
best of terms and slightly related
The Journals Vincennes correspondent tele-
graphs as follows: In an interview, Atkinson
was asked why he committed the crime. He
answered: 1T was not me; they have got the
wrong man, and / can prove my innocence
There is considerable talk on the streets of a
mob forming at Edwardsport with a view of
making an attack tonight on the jail. Young
Keith was a son of Marion Keith, who lives near
Freelandville. The murderer is Butler man,
but claims that no political prejudice could
incite him to commit such horrible deed"

EX-GOVERNOR HENDRICKS.

The Tail of the Democratic Ticket Addresses
5000 People at shelbyviIle
Special to the indianapolis journal.
SHELBYvILLE, Oct. Ex-Governor T. A. Hen
bricks addressed the Democracy of Shelby
county at the court house park to-day at
o'clock P. NJ, some 5000 persons being present
to hear the distinguished statesman. Mr.. Hen
bricks for years past has made it practice to
speak to the Democracy Of his old home before
every election. On former occasions thousands
of people have greeted him, delegations Of mann
moth proportions coming from every township.
These meeting of the Governor at his old home
were regarded as festival days by the Democ-
racy Of Shelby county, but to-day the scene had
changed-a change has come over the spirit of
the peoples dream. Three thousand persons is a
truthful estimate of the crowd that gathered
to-day The meeting had been advertised far
and wide, but the people failed to respond, and
no enthusiasm whatever prevailed. He was
driven to the park at 2 o'clock in a carriage,
headed by the Falkland Band and followed by
about one hundred men and boys. Not Il single
uniformed club was in attendance The CleYe-
land and Hendricks Club of this city, failed to
appear to-day; the truth is, it has about col
lapsed The Governors speech was not received
with the hearty enthusiasm which he has wit
messed in former years, and the crowd was
much smaller than the one Stanton J. Peelle ad-
dressed when he opened the campaignin this city.
1t is conceded that, while the meeting was a
creditable one, as compared with former years
it was failure. Something was wong in 'Old
Shelby"
In his speech he counseled the Democracy to
close up their divided ranks in this county, and
sustain him once more. He told the people he
wanted their votes, although some dudes had
charged that it was not proper for him to ask
for votes His speech was principally devoted
to discussing three propositions first that the
tariff should be limited to the needs of the gov
ernment; second, that the Republican party, by
its policy, had driven our carrying trade
from the ocean and reduced it from IS to Is per
cent; third, the surplus of revenue in the United
State Treasury
General Cero Gordo Williams, of Kentucky,
followed with bitter speech. Judge Clampitt,
Of Illinois, spoke at night. One brass band
from Falkland and martial band from this
city composed the music, and one delegation
came in from Sugar Creek the township which,
during the war, withdrew from the Union.
The arrangements for receiving Mr.. Hen
bricks at his old home this morning, We're dis
grace to him and the party of which he is a can
didate. There was but seanty array of people
have been hundreds.

Smith, a prominent citizen, who had been a
Douglas elector for the district, was selected to
deliver the address, He commenced speaking
at precisely the spot assigned to Mr.. Blaine the
balcony of the Avelino House. but before he had
uttered a dozen words the meeting was attacked
by large body of hoodlums, the lower class
OF the Democratic party and entirely dispersed.
Mr. smith was denied the right to speak, and
the Union men of the city were pre-
vented from rejoicing over Union vic
tory. the meeting had no other political
significance whatever Many other instances
might be related of this kind, for the Allen
county Democracy, during the war were in full
sympathy with the rebellion, and, in the Ian
guage of one of their prominent leaders at that
time. they had no tears to shed over Union de-
feits, and no rejoicing for Union victories"
Such was the Allen county Democracy during
the war; we had Hoped it had changed since then,
but the outrage committed against Blaine on his
recent visit to that city shows that the old leaven
is still there, and that the red shirt spirit of the
South is still as rampant at Fort Wayne as it is
In South Carolina. 1t is serious question to
ponder whether it would be safe to intrust the
government of this country to a party which
shows so little respect to the rights of its citizens
Bub Democracy is no worse at Fort Wayne than
it is anywhere else where it has the power to ex-
ercse its spirit of oppression and wrong doing.

In contrasting the two candidates it is with a
sense of pride that one recalls the volumes, in
speeches, pamphlets, books, etc. which have
come from Mr. Blaine. In the public life of no
national man have we had so much as from him.
and in all of his utterances no flaw is found In
fact, his opponents and bitterest enemies turn
from his public utterances in dest ,ir and rage,
finding that he stands pre-. eminent as one who
that can be made handle of at this time. His
private business affairs are therefore searched
and the most xenomous of attacks are made
upon him. If the people were fools this might
