THOMAS A. HENDRICKS. Of Indiana.
Vermont has gone Republican, a
usual, but by a largely reduced ms
jority. Senator Edmunds was no
heard from during the campaign.
At every point on his return tril
from the Adirondacks Governo
Cleveland found the air ringing will
the boom that was started at Chi
cago.
Indian Commissioner Price has
taken measures to relieve the starve'
ing Piegans at the Blackfoot agency.
This action of the commissioner
comes none too soon, Is these Indi-
ans were IN q most miserable c0ndi-
ton from want of the simplest nee
essaries of life.
The diaries of the members Of the
unfortunate Greedy expedition
chow that all have not yet
been told of the sufferings of the
starved crew. Enough, however, is
already known to lead the world to
look upon future Arctic expeditions
with feelings akin to horror.
Henry Ward Beecher: "How any
man can vote for Blaine and feel a
conscientious scruple about voting
for Cleveland, on the ground ofmoral-
ity, surpasses my conception, for I
regard Blaine as n of the most
corrupt meA in pecuniary affairs that
we ever had in our government"
"Brick" Pomeroy is to the fore
again with a spanking, bran-new
paper called the United States Demo-
crat. 1t is what its name indicates,
and "Brick" makes it a red hot one
The MINER is in receipt of No. 2 of

urday and may be had for 81 q year.
The testimony of Captain Reed, of
the schooner Lowell, which al into
and sunk the United States steamer
Tallapoosa, seems to throw the blame
of the collision upon the steamer.
But as was asked yesterday, what
was the Tallapoosa doing at Martha's
Vineyard? Secretary Chandler should
be called upon to answer.
Blaine is a millionaire, Butler is a
millionaire and Cleveland is man
in moderate circumstances. Mr..
Cleveland has had opportunities to
enrich himself in Office. but he has
attended to public business as though
it were a solemn trust. Old-fashioned
people, who believe in old-fashioned
honesty, will vote for the mar whose
official record is unstained by job
berry or unfaithfulness-the man who
has never had in his pocket a dollar
dishonesty or shamefully earned.
And now comes the news that the
Indians at Poplar river agency
threaten to go on the war path I'M
less the government supply them
with more food. 1t seems they have
subsisted for some time on dogs and
cattle belonging to stockmen in their
vicinity. There is still something
radically wrong in a Indian policy
when such sufferings are experienced
by the government wards, and the
the remedy shall be applied I
he better it will be for all concerned. l
