Republican Attempt to Fix"
His Paper.
Special Telegram to the Globe. |

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 22.-sheld, the edi-
tos OF the Nonitcr-JourRdL, the prohibition organ
Of the state, charges publicly that an attempt
was made to bribe him by the Republicans soon
after the Republican State convention, and that
he was offered s., 900, 81. 500 to be paid by the
central committee, $500 by r. Shield, Republican
candidate for state treasurer, and Maj. Calkins,
Republican candidate for governor, for the in
fluence Of his paper during the campaign. He
says he was first approached by Rhody Shield,
who told him that Halser g. Reynolds had been
secured and that the Republican party wanted
the MoRitor-JournGl to aid in preventing the
nomination Of Prohibition ticket. Afterward
he on. E. Sheld) met Rhody and A. c. Harris
Calkins' law partner, by appointment in the lat
ter's office, and they endeavored to induce
him to write card to the Journal and the Times,
saying that ''all true prohibitionists would be
admitted to the nominating convention" Harris
suggested that he put a proposition in writing
and allow 1t to be submitted to the committee
But Shield declined and went away. ~ wanted
to draw them out for all there was in them, he
says, ''and learn what kind of corruptionists
they were, and feeling had gone far enough 1
told him so.
Before filing the appointment at Harrisons
office, Shield claims to have informed Col Ritter
and John C. Woodland about the maneuyering
that was going on. He gives the details
of the negotiations, and asserts that Candidate
Shield told him: "a presidential campaign
comes but once in four years and you
might just as well make something out of it,
Candidate Shield would not talk much to-day
He did remark, however, that his namesake
came to see him, and let him understand that
the 1oBitor-JourHdI could be purchased for
0,0OO; that afterward he told him he owed Jim
Bice $500, and was anxious to fix that ''before
he did anything that he was
tired OF the newspaper business
there was nothing in it-snd he would
not mind retiring at the end of the year if he
could do so; that he wrote cards to
the Journal and Times but afterward destroyed
them, and that he paved the ~ay to supporting
Calkins by denying that he was drinking man
| He hinted at great deal more and talked as
though he might make it very unpleasant for
| the temperance cause.

PR ESlDENTlAL CALCULATIONS.
Vari ups Arithmetical Combinations
SIhoWing the Democrats Will
Probably Win.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.


WAS mINGToN, Sept. pa table of presi-
den tia calculations, prepared by an 'Inde-
penden IT, just now is somewhat interesting
reading; From the Democratic standpoint
no one will dispute that Cleveland and Hen
dricks will receive the 153 votes of the
south. The majority of the electoral college
is POI. Thus they are within torty-eight
votes of having the necessary number. New
York, Il iirty-six and Indiana, fifteen, would
give fift y-one, or three more than necessary.
New Y ork, thirty-six, and Ohio. twenty
three, ould give ffty-nine, or eleven more
than eeded. New York, thirty-six, Cali
fornia, eight, and Michigan, seven, would
give fifty-one, or three more than needed.
California, eight, New York, thirty-six. and
New Jer rsey, nine, would give fifty-three, or
five more than needed. New York,
thirty-six, Michigan, seven, and New Jersey,
nine, would ;give hfty-two, or four more
than needed, New York SO, New Jersey 9
and Wisconsin II would give Sc, or eight
more than needed. If the Democrats should
| lose both New York and Ohio, Indiana 10,
California s, New Jersey o, Michigan and
Wisconsin II ould give so, or more than
needed.
On the otl lIer hand, the Republican total OF
certain votes is 130, or II less than major
ity. They Il iust carry, therefore, II out OF
the 11S do ubtful electoral votes. III
they get all of them but New
York SO and Indiana Is, total 81,
they will have 11S less 81, or 81
less than ne eded. If they carry all but New
York &c. California and New Jersey 9, total
SO, they win have 11S less So, or 65, 6 less
than needed. If they carry all but New York
36 and Mich igan, 13, total 40, they will have
11S less 40. or SO, or less than needed. II
they carry New York, Ohio, California and
Nevada and lose Indiana Is, Michigan 13,
New jersey and Wisconsin IL, total As,
they will have 118 less 48, or 20, less than
needed.
From these figures it is evident that the
Democratic chances of success are very en-
couraging. They start for the doubtful states
with certain electoral vote of % more than
their opponents. They have only to
gain 4S votes to win while the Republicans
must have II. The figures are all in favor
Of the Democrats. This calculation is based
on the theory that the certain Republican
states are Connecticut 6, Colorado 3, Illinois
%, Iowa 13, Kansas 9, Maine 6, Massachu-
sets II, Minnesota z, Nebraska 5, New
Hampshire 4, Oregon 3, Pennsylvania 80,
Rhode Island 4, Vermont 4. OF these, Con-
necticut Colorado, Illinois, Kansas and
Oregon are claimed to be doubtful by san
guine Democrats, and Massachusetts, but foI
Buffers candidacy, would probably be Demo
cratic, but all are down as Republican.
The states generally conceded to be doubt
full are California s, Indiana 15, Michigan 13,
Nevada 3, New Jersey 9, New York sc, Ohio
90, Wisconsin II, total 11S

Prohibition in Ohio.

W AsurxeroS. Sept. 22.-There is good deal
Of :, ,eculation in vespect to the amount OF the
proh ibition vote in ohio at the coming October
elect.0n as upon it may and probably will de-
pendli.te result Of the n Nxt state election. In
1881 the Prohibition candi,, ,ste for governor re-
ceived 16 ,5s7 votes. In 1852 the Prohibition
candidate for secretary of state received 12,2O0
votes, and in 1888 the Prohibition candidate for
governor neceiyed s,S62 votes. These figures
would seem to show that thesProhibi. ion vote Is
falling of in Ohio, but il is noteworthv that a
constitutional amendment prohibiting 10Th the
manufacture of and the traffic in intox, eating
liquors to be used as beverage received las. fal
S23, ,1S9 votes out of total vote polled of ~,
$40, thus indicating very great strength an
body to this movement. II the prohibition can
didate fOr secretary OF state should get 25. 900
votes next month it would seem to be impossible
for Ohio to 90 Republican in October, as nearly
all of tina: vote would be7lrawn from the Repu5-
licans. The estimates, however, Of this prohibit
ton vote vary widely.

BosToN, Sept. ga twelve year old girl
of Framingham on Friday packed valise
with diamonds and negotiable bonds
amounting to $50, 900, belonging to her
mother, wealthy lady, and started for Bos-
ton to meet young man. She wss ar
rested and the valuables recovered. The
amount stolen was divided as follows: S15,-
600 in bank bills, three 81, 900 United States
States bonds, 81 600 worth of diamonds and
S35, 900 worth of railroad stock. The girls
name is Sadie Robinson. and she is the
daughter of C. Z. Robinson. Sadie's mind
has been filed with nonsensical ideas about
runaway marriages. When charged with
stealing the valuables she at first indignantly
denied it, but subsequently confessed. She
said that on Friday morning she took the
valise with her when she went to school in
Boston, and had given it to woman. She
told blood curdling story of
having her life threatened unless
she complied with a demand for
money. She said she met the woman in the
Albany station, and gave her the valise con-
tanning the valuables. The valise and yalu-
ables were recovered in drug store, where
Sadie had left them, promising to call for
them to-day. She confessed she loved the
young man, whose name she refused to give,
and had taken the money with the intention
of clipping.

There is nothing for one policeman to be jeal-
GUS of another for, unless it be of his utter
worthlessness and ineficiency. This is not the
fault of the members of the force, who, so far
as we know, are good men and true. The
fault is that the board of police commissioners
and the officers of the force have no control
and no moral influence, simply because their
administration has been based upon con
nivance with the persistent violation of law,
and a consequent disregard of their oaths of
Office. How can there be police force worth
the name under such auspices?
