Thurman Hopeful of Indiana.

New YORK, Oct Ex-senator Thurman
left for Indiana this evening, and will stump
the state till Nov. 4. Before leaving he was
asked what he thought of Ohio. '.The result
is little better than l anticipated. That is
all. The Democratic vote was the largest
ever polled in the state, and in view of the
strenuous efforts made by Mr.. Blaine and his
speakers, it was a more than creditable
showing. In all my political experience 1
have never seen such hand to hand fighting
Every inch OF ground was contested. The
result of the October elections is usually to
strengthen the winning party, and while
many Republicans voted their ticket in
October who will not vote for Mr.. Blaine.
still 1 do not think the result will be
materially changed in November
''And how about Indianal''
THAT is, in my opinion, another close
state. That the Democrats will carry it
entertain no doubt, but it will be at the ex-
pense of hard, earnest work. Gov. Hem
bricks feels very sanguine over the prospects.
w. Donald, chairman of the Democratic
com mittee, feels equally sure of success.
Henderson declares that the state is safe
enough and these men are better able to
u ige than l. Ny opinion is based
on elections in other years. Still, there will
be some strong fighting in Indiana, and 1 20
from here direct to Hendricks state to as
sist in the work. New York seems safe
enough, and so 1 go where the chance of do
ing good seems the best"
Then in November you expect''-
ga Democrat victory. If we ever expect
to be successful now is the appointed time.
Ali the signs point that way, and it appears
impossible for any force to resist the tidal
wave of opposition to the Republican nomi-
nee. We shall have better fighting chance,
too, for those United States marshals who
acted so disgracefully in Cincinnati will not
be called in. New York 1 regard as safe
enough, but the various elements that enter
into this campaign, the splits and trades.
will, l fear, have a bad effect on parties gem
orally. The fight within the Republi-
can party lines is as bitter as
family fights always are, and
it will be difficult to ever restore peace, and
the temptation to make trades is stronger
than ever before. Give Us this or that of
fee, says one faction, 'anG We will cast our
presidential votes any way you wish.' Why,
there are men in both parties who would
throw over their Savior that way. It is one
OF the dangers of this, The bitterest cam
paign have ever seen.''

The names of 800 are known in
the little city of Elizabeth alone.
As long as the Blaine managers were de-
luded with the notion that they might carry
New York they were loud in boasting of
their strength here, but the facts have re-
Gently become so plain that their claim ap-
peared ridiculous even to themselves and
they have now, it is understood, changed
their programme, and instead of wasting all
their resources here mean to make a
despc tempt to carry Connecticut and
New :. while holding Indiap;a Ohio
1iiin' .seoasin, Michigan and Kansas
How they intend to attack New Jersey
and Connecticut is told in a single sentence,
which at the same time reveals the real des-
peration of their game. They mean to buy
them up. They will pour in money as they
poured it into Ohio, only faster and more of
1t, but the Independent Re-
puhlicans will effectually block
that game, for their votes will outnumber
all that Blaine's men can buy or colonize.
The Prohibitionists are little thorns in the
side of the Republican leaders. A most
careful estimate, in which all allowances are
made against the Prohibition side, shows
vote of not less than 1000 for St. John in
the state. The Prohibition leaders them
selves by no means admit that it will be as
low as that.

At Cleveland's Request Boone is Released.
ALBANY, Oct. 22.-Samuel S. Boone, who
assaulted Gov Cleveland Monday last, was
arraigned before Justice Gutman at the po-
lice court this afternoon. The court room
was thronged by curious crowd. Boone,
who looked careworn, asked and obtained
permission to make statement. He said
he had been greatly worried over his brother
in-law's case, and had scarcely slept for sew
eral nights. He admitted his conduct had
been hasty, and said he was sorry for what
he had done. He also insisted that he never
intended doing the governor any harm
Justice Gutman said he had received letter
from Gov. Cleveland in which the governor
stated he had no desire to prosecute the pris-
oner, and recommending leniency. Boone
was then discharged. He, together with his
wife and father-in-law, left this evening for
home.

"The annual return of Memorial day
which has been renewed for sixteen
years, will be observed by all posts and
comrades on May 80. next.
Each post in it's w way will ar

the unknown graves, the thousands Of
our comrades who fell on the field Of
battle, died of wounds, died Of diseases,
who langulshed in prisons, and who
have died since the close of the war.
"Thus may we cherish the memory
of their lives and deeds, revive a deeper
love for u country and the flag whose
principles it represents"

The Sioux Reservation.

Washington, Special Telegram, May 8.
The subcommittee Of the house COM
mittee on Indian affairs, having in
charge the senate hill to open the Sioux
reservation bill, and will report it to
the full committee next week. The
most important amendment is with re-
gard to the term of the treaty with the
Indians. That portion of the bill which
provides for the conveyance of a reser-
walton in fee to the tribe occupying it,
the subcommittee recommend shall be
stricken out. Inasmuch as the bill pro-
vides that the lands may be allotted in
%severalty to the Indians, and that at
the end of twenty-five years patents
shall be issued to the several allottees,
they do not favor patenting any land
to different tribes. The other amend
ments proposed by the committee are
unimportant. and, with the exception
named, the bill viii be reported practi-
cally as it came from the senate.

Mitchell Republican:-The complex
ion of the next legislature is being gen
orally discussed. Whether it will be
controlled by the Bismarck "gang" or
Yankton "clique" is the point most
considered. How would it do to send
men to the next legislature who are in
dependent Of both these factions, and
who, while looking to the interests of
their special localities, are yet broad
minded enough to consider the good of
the whole commonwealth? Central
Dakota is strong enough to send an in
dependent element that could hold the
balance Of power and institute a new
era in Dakota legislation. Integrity,
ability and independence are the quail

next assembly.
