Mr.. W. w. Corcoran, Washington's

Mr.. w. w. Corcoran, Washington's
aged philanthropist, has a vivid person
al recollection of every president ex-
cepting George Washington. He knew
Chief Justice Marshall very we'll, and
in a late interview gave many interest
ing incidents of his life. On being
asked if lie agreed with the views ex-
pressed that public men of that date, or
Of former days were stronger intellectu-
ally than those of the present day, Mr..
Corcoran said IF they were it was
because of selection, and not because
the country had men Of greater ability
than it has now. The fact is, in those
days there were more carefully selected
men chosen to office; they we're from
the very best. In those days they did
not take their richest farmer, or their
most prosperous merchant for a con-
gresham, or for this or that Office, but
selected their ablest man, the man who
stood highest In intellect and integrity.
The place selected the man to d greater
extent in those days than now, instead
Of the man selecting the place, as is too
often the case now" Every observer
Of the tendencies of late years must adj
nit that Mr.. Corcoran has stated in
mild language the exact truth. The
introduction Of great capitalists, '.bo-
nanza m~en"into the halls of congress
merely because they are such, Is Of
the evils Of the times that cannot be too
soon corrected.

THE TALK AT WASHINGTON.
What Is Said by Prominent Members of
Both the Great Parties.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON June 9-Many of the senators
and representatives who attended the Chicago
convention have returned TO their seats in Con
gress, and to-day they talked freely of the pro-
ceedings of the convention and the merits and
dement's of the candidates selected 1t is the
prevailing opinion that the alliance which Blaine
and Logan form is very strong one, probably
as strong as could have been secured with any
other men. While another man could possibly
have been found who would have had more
strength in New York and Massachusetts, it is
presumed he might have been weaker in Ohio
Indiana and on the Pacific slope Everybody
Democrats alike with Republicans say Blaine
and Logan will make a very animated and
brilliant campaign.
Ex-Governor Long of Massachusetts, who was
one of the leaders of the Edmunds faction. at
Chicago, said that the ticket nominated was phe-
nomenally strong everywhere, except in south
Massachusetts beyond peradventure; also, that
the factions would be brought together in New
York, so that the ticket there will be strong
enough to receive majority.
Mr.. Dingley, of Maine, who was one of Blaines
leading advocates at Chicago, said to the Jour
nal correspondent, this morning, that Blaine and
his friends were heartily glad that the New York
Times, the Boston Herald the Advertiser, and
other alleged Republican papers had bolted the
ticket, because they were only Re-
publican in name, and would do
the ticket more injury than good if they sup
ported it, as they had been advocating free
trade and other heresies antagonistic to Repub-
lican principles He believed an Independent
ticket would be forced into the field by the bolt
ers in New York, New Jersey, and Massachu-
setts but said Blaine and Logan would carry
each of those States beyond any question; that
when one bolter left the party, half dozen
votes would be gained by it.
Sergeant Leedom who is influential
in Democratic politics in Ohio, said Blaine and
Logan could not be beaten in Ohio unless Sena-
tor Payne or Governor Hoadly is on the ticket

and philosopher, said; II think the Republican

BERLIN, June 9-The foundationstone of the

Emperor There was a brilliant assembage o.
notabes present. Prince Bismarck read the
Emperor's speech, the substance Of which is as

Through the successes of the united German
arms the empire has attained greatness before
undreamed of.
Confidence between the several governments

sure national developement and prosperity.
May the work done on this building develop
only order liberty justice, equal love for all
classes, and may peace abroad and at home
prevail; may it be forever visible sign of the
indissouble bands of the united German states.
The Bavarian minister handed a trowel to
the Emperor, expressing the gratitude of the
Bundesrath at the auspicious event He hoped
the Emperor would live to see the completion Of
the building and said the harmonious working
of the various elements of the government
renders the safety of the Fatherland certain.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DANvILLE, Ind, June 9-General Abe Buford
of Louisville, Ky, committed suicide here to-
day, and the deed has been the general theme
of conversation on the streets. During his stay
in Danvile the General seemed to be little
abstract and absent-minded, but except this he
was as affable and talked as fuently of the
races which he had come over from Louisville to
witness as was characteristic of him. The con
tinued rains he said this morning, would post
pone the races for few days at least, and that
he had concluded to go to Chicago this even
ing
A few minutes before o'clock this morning
he went to his room, at the residence of B. T.
Buford, his cousin with whom he was visiting
Shortly afterward the report of a revolver was
heard, and, Mr.. Buford rushing up to the Gen
erals room, found him motionless with the
blood trickling from bullet hole in the right
temple. He had seated himself in an easy
chair and had placed his feet on a trunk. When
he fired the shot his right hand fell by his side,
and he died without a struggle. On the bureau
near by were the following statements:
MY financial troubles have driven me to des-
peration l have lost my only chance to relieve
my brother and self, and the future is too dark
for me to struggle against any further 1 want
my body sent to Lexington, Ky. My friends
will there put it away alongside of my dear wife
and boy. Peace to all the world, and may God
have mercy on my troubled soul

Lying near by the above statement was the
following letter:

further struggle with life. My cross is too
heavy. can not keep it out of the dust. Send
my body to my brother, J. II. Buford at Lex
ington, KY, and may God have mercy on my
bewildered soul. My troubles and those of my
unfortunate brother, Tom, have driven me mad

was classmate of General Hancock But day
or two ago he entertained several persons with

through the North as the rebel General Buford,
having fought through the rebellion as con
federate officer under Bragg Since the war he
had devoted himself to the turf, and was for a
time editor of the Turf, Rod and Gun," pub
lished at Louisville. Within the past few years
he had been singularly unfortunate, losing his
family by death, and having spent the greater
part of his property in behalf of his brother,

Blaines nomination probable, they fiocked to
him in body. This is why no combination
against Blaine was visible. Had not been so
