LOCAL POLITICAL MATTERS.
Mr. Blaine Will Probably Come to Indian
apOlis- General Notes Of the Campaign.


General R. S. Foster, United States marshal,
has returned from New York, where he has been
during the last two weeks. He says that the
Republicans there are sure that they will carry
the State. The Democrats are losing votes in
large numbers through the Irish detection and
there are several thousand Democrats who will
vote for Butler which is equivalent to a Repuo-
lican gain.
Il met Cleveland at Albany remarked Cen
eral Foster.
s.And did you, like Mr. Hendricks, find him "a
very pleasant gentleman!p
,Pleasant-but no more pleasant than any
man must be to be civil
did you meet Mr.. Blaineg
Eyes, l had a moments conversation with him
in New York;
Did you learn whether or not he intended to
come to lndianaP
II remarked to him that we would like to have
him come to Indiana, and he replied that he
would come; but it was brief and hurried CONVEX
sation, and did not ask him when he would be
here
SENATOR 1fDoNALD's MEEKNEss.
"About as beautiful a sample of Christian
forgiveness as has ever come to my notice is be-
ing exhibited by Senator Mcdonald, said a
worthy Methodist brother, in the hearing Of a
Journal reporter yesterday. Think of i'll
Stumping the State for Tom Hendricks and
Isaac P. Gray, both at once! Some one has said
that he never knew of but three liars. Tom
Ochiltree was one and Eli Perkins was the other
two Well on the same principesI never knew
but three men who would obey the biblical in
junction to turn the other cheek if man smite
one of them. / need not mention who
the one was, but Mcdonald is the
other two. What a forgivlng spirit he
must have, to put his shoulder to the wheel and
OF, in honk iY,o off To Hand
cart along after the latters treachery to him.
And then to think of his helping Gray, after that
worthy robbed him as he did of the honor of
mere complimentary vote for senator Inc
truth of the matter is that Mcdonald is utterly
devoid of what is known as spunk. There is no
more resentment about him than there is IN
canary bird | don't wonder that he is set aside
by others in his party, for they know that no
matter how grossly they insult him he may be
relied upon to help them out if an opportunity is
ever offered"
HENDRICKS GOES TO COLUMBUS.
Mr.. Hendricks has finally, at the eleventh
hour, decided to go to Columbus, O., instead of
Shelbyville, tomorrow, and the Democratic
rally got up for his benefit, and for which
such great preparations have been made, will be
without his presence. He will leave for Co
lumbus in the morning, in a special car, and
will be accompanied by few friends from this
city.
