Hobbs, of Illinois, and Dwiggins, of Indiana,
Exchanging Condolences.
Lake Bluff (Ill.) Letter.
It is great thing to be candidate for Gov
ernor-in some years and some States; but in a
presidential campaign a seeker after guberna-
toriai honors doesn't have much show in the Pc
litical horizon. And if the ordinary candidate
for Governor has to take back seat there is
standing room only for Prohibition candidates
OF these latter we have pair here at present
Mr.. j. B. Hobbs, of Chicago, Prohibition candi-
date for Governor of Illinois, and Mr.. r. S.
Dwiggins blue ribbon candidate for Governor of
Indiana Mr. st John, Of Kansas win be here
on the LIST of next month and perhaps half a
dozen other Prohibition candidates for Govern
or. Mr.. Hobbs is a handsome man, but do not
know how much he weighs. Mr.. Dwiggins is a
little fellow, no bigger than your Uncle Samuel
Jones Tileen. Both these gentlemen have their
wives with them and the four met in the parlor
here few nights ago and condoled with each
other on the attenuated chances of the success
of the cold water ticket in Illinois and Indiana
Some one has to be sacrificed for the good of
the cause said Mr.. Hobbs, 'but / wouldn't have
accepted if my wife had not talked me into it,
She kept at me until there was nothing else to
do.
Il didn't want my husband to run, said Mrs.
Dwiggins, 'but he went into it from sense of
duty
The two candidates themselves were miami
nous in their opinion that neither of them would
get enough votes to worry over. In this view OF
the case the pair Of Prohibition candidates for
Governor are undoubtedly right

Proceedings of the Northwest Indiana M. e.
Conference.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ATTIcA, Aug. 90 The afternoon Of yesterday
was spent by the committees in their special
work. The cabinet was in session for the
second Time and It's supposed they are getting
ready for the announcement Of the appoint
ments by Monday. In the evening the audience
was very large to hear Bishop Bowman in be-
half Of De PAW University. The Bishop was
never more happy in an effort to hold the atten
ton of a congregation. He spoke for more than
an hour and was deeply interesting.
The Northwest Indiana Conference last year
assumed $4,000 toward the endowment of
DePauw University, 10s ministers and laymen
agreeing to pay the interest on the above
amount This is to be continued until the
amount is provided for by some means within
the bounds Of the conference.
This morning the usual prayer meeting was
held at $50 At 9 o'clock began the regular
session. After the reading of the minutes, the
committee on the American Bible Society made
their report Rev. s. B. Smith, who is the
superintendent Of the Bible cause in this part of
the State, made few remarks and the report
was adopted
The class that are candidates for admission
into the conference was called forward at 10
o'clock and addressed by Bishop Foster The ad
dress was of great power, and lasted one hour and
ahalf. Az it was similar to the one of last week
at Greencastle on the same occasion, and re-
ported through the journal, it is only necessary
to say it was one of the most complete, on the
dignity and character of the ministry, ever de-
hvered in any of the conference sessions.
After the Bishops address, Rev. DIR. Bayliss
of Cincinnati, presented the claims of the Vest
ern Christian Advocate. This afternoon was
held the Womans Foreign Missionary anniver-
sary. Mrs Hill, Of Chicago, delivered an ad
dress.
A number Of visiting brethren are present
among them Hon. Enoch Hogate of Danville; Dr.
Munhall, of Indianapolis; Mr.. Rosson, of Mich

About week ago City Librarian Hooper dis
covered that the July and August numbers Of
the bi-monthly periodical Education had been
nutilated by some one, an article 'sOn Teaching
History, from the pen of Hon. JIM Green
wood having been cut out entirely By little
ingenious detective work Mr., Hooper fastened
the guilt on William Hersberger, a teacher Of
Anderson. Going to that city he learned that
Mr. Hersberger was to read an essay
ION Teaching History before the county insti-
tute then in session By listening to the paper
Mr. Hooper became satisfied that it was simply
stolen, almost verbatim from Mr. Greenwood's
article, and accused Hersberger of having been
guilty of mutilating the magazine. He denied
it point blank, but Hooper was satisfied of the
jnstness of the charge and placed the matter in
the hands of the proper committees Yesterday
he received the following note from Hersberger

New York Special
The New Rochelle Pioneer has a remarkable
article on the disappearance of a woman who has
unhappily become very notorious in this presi-
Dental campaign. 1t is well Known that she was
living at New Rochelle when the scandal found
her out. The Pioneer says:
It's positively known that Maria Halpin taken
from her home on the night of August by a Demo
crat. The horse and wagon used belonged to Demo
crat.
1t is badly fair to blame the whole Democratic
party for this indiscreet and unwise act to re,
move that now notorious woman just at that
time. Overz jealous friends of Grover Cleve-

could not have made. They fell into the very

How the Men Who own ana run taetorles
Feel as to tho Tariff.
indianapolis Letter in New Orleans Commercial
Bulletin.
While upon the question of politics let me give
your readers an unyarnished account of how the
manufacturers of the country feel and win vote.
My business being principally with them has
plainly demonstrated to me that in every case
the feeling is in favor of Blaine even among
lifelong Democrats on account of the tariff
question Each and every manufacturer is
with free trade, or the present tariff very much
reduced thousands and thousands of men who
now employ hundreds and thousands of me-
chanics, would have tc close up their factories
and retire to private life
This is a great, glorious and a growing
country. Each and every city and town of i'm
portance is made such by its manufacturing in
terests Take these away and the towns are
ruined. Take away protection and you will re-
tire Chicago, St Louis, Atlanta Chattanooga,
Cincinnati, Pittsburg. Philadelphia Boston,
New York, Indianapolis, etc, into ohscurity;
turn them from large and important cities into
mere villages, and throw hundreds of thousands
of working men iRte Penury and trampism
The free traders say their doctrine would
benefit the consumers. But let me ask them,
where would be the consumer And echo yainly
answers rWhere27
No, sir: the safety of the country depends
upon protection; and, as the Republican platform
promises this, the man who has a vote and who
is intelligent will vote for the candidate OF that
party; for the once wide distinction between
the Democratic and Republican parties has long
ago been elaborated, and the ignoring Of the tariff
question by Cleveland, in his letter of accept
ance, has cost the party many thousands OF
votes.
From conyersing with men of influence, of
both parties, in this State your correspondent
has come to the conclusion that in the coming
election Indiana is no longer doubtful State.
