that the Republican ticket will be elected by
large majority, Mr. Mitchell is president of the
State Board of Agriculture, and is now attend
ing the county fairs He goes to Edinburg to-
day. to attend the johnson county fair.
A Rushville Irish-American. writing to
friend in this city, says Il feel sure, as the
campaign progresses, that many of our country
men here will see the suicidal folly of following
and supporting party which is constantly mis-
leading them and trading on their fine social
nature. These, our countrymen will, / am sure,
come out squarely and bravely to the support of
honest principles and James g. Blaine and John
A. Logan. In fact, from all the signs and tokens
everywhere, am more than ever satisfied there
is general change taking place in the political
leanings OF our people, and as representative
men all over the country are manfully giving
voice to the new faith that has! arisen in their
soul, there is strong hope that the.day is near
at hand when Irishmen everywhere will stand
up and battle for their best interests, regard
less of the sneers and froWns of political bosses
ENGLISH OR BYNUM9
II think there is some trick about this matter
of the congressional nomination, said an observ-
ant anti English Democrat yesterday land
from hint dropped to me today am inclined
TO believe that English's name will be sprung on
the convention. Mr.. Bynum placed himself on
record in the Sentinel on Wednesday by an
nouncing that under no circumstances would he
be = candidate if English was, and Of course he
will be as good as his word. It looks to me as If
pitfall had been dug for him and he has fallen
in. Jim Bowling and all that gang are still
hustling around insisting that under any cir
cumstances English must be nominated, although
he has said he will not have it. There is some
thing queer about this whole business"
MR.. HENDRIcKs's LAST LETTER
A number of kilograms having been received
at this Office yesterday inquiring into the au-
thenticity of Mr. Hendricks Dubuque letter,
which found its way into the Associated Press
dispatches, reporter was sent to Mr.. Hendricks
residence to interview him.
1.-THE letter, said the Democratic nominee for
the vice presidency, is genuine. There were
inaccuracies in its publication, but / do not
know how far that extended in this city, Mr.
Hendricks here picked up copy of the Indian
apolis Sentinel and read: Three times Governor
Cleveland has stood the test of popular calum-
MES" i did not say that, but did say three
times Governor Cleveland has stood the test Of
popular canvasses, once for the paternal Office
of mayor of his own city,
"Are there any further inaccuracies, Mr..
Hendricks?r inquired the reporter
Il guess that is all, was the reply, though |
have received two or three inquiries and per-
haps there have been mistakes made in it else
where"
