HON. Will z. ENGLISH.

The relations OF Congressman English to
the late campaign have bsen such as to chal-
ieDge the admiration of the Seventh District
Democracy. As 3 matter of right Mr.. Edg-
lish was entitled to a denomination. From
the standpoint of party policy it was not so
clear that his recandidacy was the proper
thing. Without doubt there were RspubIi-
cans who, il untrammeled, would vote
against Mr.. Peelle. But would the same
paItisans thus vote in repetition of the
contest in which they voted against Mr..
English? The gallant young Democrat de-
termined to give his party the benefit OF the
doubt. He voluntarily declined a renomi-
ration. When Mr.. Dynum was made
he standard bearer for the district Mr..
EDgIish was prompt to come forward
in bic support, aud throughout the canvass
there has been no Democrat reader to do
service in behalf of the National, State, Con-
eressional and County ticket than Will E.
English. AS it turns out, there Is no ques-
ton but that had he accepted denomination
land this could have been had at his bid
ding, he would have been elected. But he
displayed magnanimity and patriotism in
the matter which will be largely to his
credit in the auspicioas hereafter, when
democrats, and not Republicans, will WELD
IDdiana's political affairs. We shall expect
to see Mr.. English at the fore again at no
slant day

There seems to be disposition on the
part of some mischiefmakers in this city
wearing the Blaine badge and Republican
collar to make trouble among prominent
Democrats. This is almost all that Is left for
them to do. If they can only now in the
day of their defeat-plodding around in the
mud and mire-factionIzs the solid Demo
cratic phalanx of Indiana it would compen.
safe them somewhat for recent disaster. II
these gentry wish to do something that
savors somewhat of real charity and hu.
mainly, we have suggestion to make to
them. Their own party needs patching up,
and the wounded and dying need an army
of hospital nurses. Think of poor Calkins,
Eugene Bundy, Bruce Carr and Rhody
Shiel; Governor Porter and Senator Harrison
should have prompt and Immediate atten-
ton; Mr.. PeeLe's wounds need oil and ONT
ment, to say nothing OF nearly the entire
county ticket Have they thought that they
need an energetic organization to gather up
their broken legions and get them into posi-
ton for the Democratic onslaught of 1886?
With moments thought, they must see
that their own party needs immediate st,en-
ton. The Democratic party needs none Of
il, and does not propose to have any.

AN ECCENTRIC DEMOCRATS WILL

AN ECCENTRIC DEMOCRATS WILL.
A singular bequest came to light recently
in Pittsburg A special from that city tells
ABOUT it. In October. 1878, Alex ander Nc
Gill, q wellknewn citizen, who had ac-
cumulated large fortune, became fearful
that he might die aud that his real aud per-
sonsl effects by some legal crook might come
into the possession of divorced wife. That
this might not result he made his will, Civ
ing to his former wife a nominal sum- and
bequeathing to his sister all his effects dur
ing her lifetime. At her death the fortune
was to pc DIVIDED between three aunts, sis
teEs of his father, who were supposed to live
in County Tyrone, Ireland. Should they
die in the meantime, their children, should
they have any, were to inherit the portions
assigned to their mothers and should the
children, If any be dead, the whole estate
was beqUeathed to the President of the
United States, providing he be Democrat,
in trust and to be used in the interest of and
for the success of the Democratic party.
The will was proved before the County Reg
lister October 10, 1878, and the inventory Of
Mrs. Steel, the executrix, shows that the
personal effects amounted to S21, 924, and it
is said the realty amounts to considerably
more than that sum. Two well.known
Democrats examined the records and for.
warded to President Cleveland the substan-
tial features of the will.

COLONEL GRAY's CANVASS.


Our gallant and successful candidate for
Governor made remarkable canvass. There
was no fustian Tor foolish glitter to it, but
wonderfully effective. His opponent bound
ed into the arena good deal like Goliath
Boosting and full panoplied. Colonel Gray,
like the shepherd boy, sauntered quietly
along by the brook, picked up q few
stones modestly and took a firm grip OF the
sling that finally brought him victory.
During the canvass he worked necessarily
in season and out Of season, He did not
boast of his achievements as the fight waxed
hot, To intimate friends he occasionally
assured them that he was going to win. HE
opponents lied about him, now charging
him with throwing g Democratic printing
press into the Ohio, then with being at the
head OF q marriage or grave yard insurance
swindle now with being Know
nothing, then again with something else
equally false aud foolish. And thus il went
on. The Sentinel and other Democratic pa
pers proved the falsity of all charges, and
the Colonel, when occasionally interrupted
on the stump by some blatant, vaporing
blatherskite, would denounce him as liar,
and continue to rake Radicslism fore and aft
on its miserable public record.
When he finally forced Mr.. Calkins to the
public platform, he mounted him like a royal
Bengal tiger, and finally drove him from the
field.
He has all the qualities to make good
Governor, and we predict successful and
satisfactory administration. There will be
no more failures of appropriation bills OF
any measures for the public good.

has ever witnessed. Let hope that the
very best results may follow. This grand

POLL T!CAL HOSPITALITY.

Whatever other faults the Republican
party may have bad, it was proyereal for
hospitality. Until the last, at tue close OF
every campaign for twenty years Democrats
have been earnestly invited to come ia out
of the wet, bring their sisters, their cousins
and their aunts. together with their knitting
work, and make themselves at home. We
6iIl never live to forget the look of disap-
continent and pain that would pass like a
shadow over the benign countenance of the
1oter, so full of political charity, and with
What searching anxiety for information the
question would be asked: why the duce

ally indeed rather love you, love you so
well that it saddsns me to see you incur the
exIerse Of a National Convention every

peign purposes, just as though there was
possibility of the Democrats ever electing
President in the wide world. Now quit
worrying, be reasonable and join the Repub-
lican party" But in spite of the fact that
the latch.string was always out, the
Democrats seem to have preferred

A WHISTLE THAT DIDN'T 800 OFF,"

We thought toward the latter end OF the
canvass that our highly esteemed bat mis'
guided and cratic contemporary, the Jour.
nal, claimed the election OF Blaine aud Calk.
ins merely as matter of form. That be-
hind the brsvado was the lynx-eyed, careful
observer of passing events, feeling deep down
in the heart that the fortunes of the day
were against Republication. We be-
lieve now, however, that our Jour
nal friends had persuaded themselves
while persuading others that Blaine and
Calkins would certainly be successful. We
changed our opinion because of what may
seem to some as very trivial affair. 1t has
leaked out that an immense whistle about as
big as a peck measure was ordered at one oil

FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE GEOLOGY OF INDIANA

TEE GEObOtH Or INDIANA
PART II.
Professor Collett is just in receipt of the
proof sheets of a very valuable contribution
TO bis forthcoming volume, the Post PHO
cine Verhbrata," by Professor E. D. Cope
and James Workman. The well-known
celebrity of Professor Cope as comparative
anatomist gives more than ordinary interest
to his writings.
While many Of the animals OF the post
pliocene are found in a preceding epoch
and their remains are mixed with those of
recent times, still they present on the whole
q marvellous contrast, together with living
congeners, and large number have no liv-
ing representatives.
Prominent among the distinguishing fea-
lures of the post pliocene may be mentioned
Grst of the cdrnivora, or hesh-eating order OF
the great American lion. Feiis atrOr, de-
scribed by DIR. Leidy, aud found near
Natchez. Miss. This species is as large as the
great cave lion of Europe, and on further
investigation may prove identical with 1t.
Besides this one there were two other feline
animals Of formidable proportions, the re-
mains OF which were found in Texas and
Pennsylvania. They are saber-toothed tigers
with long and powerful canine teeth. The
one found in Texas and described by Leidy
was equal in size to the Bengal tiger, with
CANNES projecting from the jaw six or seven
inches. The Pennsylvania species described
| by Cope was smaller.
There was also q large species OF wolf,
CAMS iadianensis, Leidy, from the banks OF
the Ohio River, near Evansville, Ind. This
was as large as the grey wolf. OF the weasel
kind there existed large one described by
| otter. Of the bear family we have a large
extinct species, described by Cope, from the
bone caYes of California, which equaled, if
| not exceeded, in size the largest grizzly OF
that region.
| OF the even-toed, ungulate division, is a
species of extinct buffalo, Bison latafrOns,
Leidy, gigantic animal at least one.third
larger than the largest buffalo of the plains;
two extinct species related to the muskox OF
the north, from the Big Bone Lick, of Ken
lucky, Indiana and elsewhere; species of
elk, eariacus ABlericanus, from the same 10.
cality, as large as the extinct Irish elk,
which was ten to eleven feet high to top OF
antlers, and eleven to twelve feet between
the antlers; two species from vsrious locali-
ties related to the peccaries, and an extinct
| species of peccary from Indiana. Dieotyles
ndsutus, Leidy.
OF the odd-toed group there were two
| species OF tspir, from the Southern and Mid.
die States; at least two species of morse, Equ
paci6cus and E. major, Lsidy aud Dscuy,

DOUBLE REPUBLICAN BALLOTS.


Those New York Republicans managed to
do a wonderful amount of swindling for
Blaine. Here is only q sample, and the state
ment was made under oath: The Twenty
second District was the first taken up, and
the affidavit of Inspector Scott was read by
Alderman Jaehne. The deponent said that
in counting the ballots he found that nine
double Republican ballots had been cast, or
eighteen more than the book called for.
When he drew the attention of the inspect
ors 10 this fact United States Deputy Mar
shall Goodman tried to pat him out of the
place, and sfterward told the inspectors that
he was drunk. A policeman tried to arrest
him, and threw him down and was about to
strike him with his club when another pc.
liceman interfered and prevented the frat
officer from striking him. The deponent
said to the officer that ne would submit to
arrest If they would send for the captain oil
the precinct. The deponent refused to sign
the returns made for the Associated Press,
az warned the inspectors not to do so.

"a BAD OUTLOOK FOR TIE @. o. p"

"a BAD OUTLOOK FOR THE g. o. p"
The Republican party of Indiana has a
very serious future to contemplate. Napo-
Icons army after Waterloo flying in squads
toward Paris was q compact band in COM
parison with the demoralized condition OF
Indiana Republicanism. Even the cohesive
power of public plumber failed to hold the
managers and bosses together during the
campaign. They began quarreling and
knifDg each other in early summer, Gov
ernor Porter was crowded into the back
ground; Calkins was secretly slaughtered !;
a miserably weak and sickly State ticket was
nominated, and all the little fellows rushed
irto places OF responsibility. The big guns
were crippled aud the small artillery made
all the racket and no execution. What
of the futureP Indiana Republicans
have no bold, energetic, capable leaders.
Mr.. Harrison, gentleman of respectable
ability and position, has none of the qIali-
ties of a -eat leader. That bronze and silent
figure in Circle Park was more effective dur
ing the last campaign than Harrison and all
who esssyed TO lead the party combined.
Mr.. Harrison has no ability to organize or
direct-no political finesse-no savoir faire
in political contest. Governor Porter is
very little better in these regards, although
he has enough in his makeup to attract
votes. He is courteous and obliging, with
some warmth in his nature, and moderate
amount of that much Haunted and bedrag-
gled, but valuable, quality personal mag
netism." Altogether the Governor is, all
things considered, the best man that the
party has left them for leadership, Poor
Calkins is handsome in his personal
appearance, and rather good sort
of fellow in a general way,
but he will never do to reorganize the debris
OF Indiana rsdicalism. Tom Browne has
been weighed and found wanting. He runs
behind his ticket right along, every time,
but the old Quakers and Republicans OF the
Burnt District" seem to like his genial,
clever ways, and he probably has life Do
sition as it stands. We now have reached
the end of the list. The party is in bad con-
dition. Perhaps it had better advertise:
