The Party Strength He Has Secured by Dis
tribution of Cash.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-"When the boom for
Flower for the presidential nomination was first
started, we nearly all thought it pretty good
joke, said a Democratic member from New
York. But do you know that it has been, and
will be, a very huge joke2 Yes, sir, it is white
elephant on the hands of the party, and is the
greatest disturbing element in it in the State,
unless I except John Kelly's Tammany Hall"
1 inquired if Flowers strength would be very
formidable in the convention.
"Oh no." replied the member sit is only
formidable in the State of New York.
In the first place, Flower began to
drop some money around where it would do
him some good when he was in Congress two
years ago. If you remember, he gave swell din
ners, and made presents and coyed around with
the Southern delegations, trying to win friends.
Well, all those things have effect, you know, and
he soon had an extensive acquaintance in all
parts of the country. He is pretty shrewd, and
where he did not win friends by his manners he
placed them under obligations to him in various
ways"
with his money!"
1.-The same You would be surprised to know
how many members and lobbyists borrowed from
him. That was just what he wanted Then he
put cash in the hands of several members
with which to secure a return TO Congress.
He even sent money to State central
committees to be used. l understand he put
500, 900 in the hands of the Democrats in Vir-
ginia to be used against Mahones Readiusters.
You know the effect that that and other money
had in the Old Dominion. 1t defeated the Read
justers,"
"Do you mean that others than Flower sent
money to the Bourbons of Virginia''
The member smiled, said the talk was run
ming into secrets then replied II can't think of
any prominent Democratic aspirant for the
presidency that did not contribute to that fund.
Flower Then Randall, Payne Bayard and
even Butler tossed their sympathy into the hat"
''How are the Virginians on the presidential
question:"
''Well, Flower will get as many votes, in my
opinion, as Cleveland from Virginia, or would if
the unit rule was not adopted But the joke
comes in when it is learned that Flower has Just
enough strength in New York and throughout
the country to ruin Cleveland, who otherwise
would have been the candidate of the State.

against the Governor, and he and the State are
defeated"

Bishop O'Farrell remarked that Ireland had
such powerful enemies, and had suffered so
much it was only natural that the Irish should
dread the slightest attempt to mislead the Pope
on their position and their claims, so that he
might condemn Them
To this the Pope answered with warm pro
fessions of love for Ireland.

itwould give them!"

and Ireland, all that [ have said, and repeat to

Bishop OFarrell continues in his letter to Father
Hogan, ''as nearly as L can remember, but

accent with which he uttered them. You [

Trenton. N j., Special.
The Rev. Thaddeus Hogan, pastor of st. John S
Catholic Church, of this city, received to-day a
letter from Bishop O'Farrell, of Trenton, touch
ing the attitude of the Holy See on the Irish
question. Bishop OFarrell recently sojourned
in Rome, and was accorded personal interview
with the Pope.
Recent English journals have reported the
Holy Father as condemning the struggle of the
Irish people for independence. This, it is said
has had depressing effect among Irish enthu-
siasts. Bishop OFarrell, it will be seen, denies
this.
II had an audience with the Holy Father few
days ago." says the Bishop in his letter, land
was exceedingly gratifed with it. The present
Pope does not give many audiences and seldom
long ones. 1t is therefore, all the greater joy for
me to have had an interview with him which
lasted forty minutes. His manner is very kind
and paternal. After a short account of our
young Trenton diocese, then spoke of the Irish
Catholics both in Ireland and America, saying
that he had no more loyal or devoted sons any
where than among them and their descendants
and that whatever had been told him to the con-
trary was not true, | said that I could speak of
Irsh-Americans with full knowledge, and of

A Belief that the Chicago Convention viii

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-There is belief here
among Republicans and representative Demo-
Gratis from nearly every State in the Union that
the convention at Chicago will nominate Tilden,
notify him of it, ask if he will accept, and then
adjourn over day, to give him time to consult
his friends 1t is thought that if it is urged upon
him in this way, and as the unanimous wish of
the conventions he will yield. Should he re-
fuse, however, his friends argue that but one
day will be lost; that the party will have re-
newed its faith in him as it should, and that it
will help the man whom the convention will pro-
ceed to name. good deal of work is being
quietly done for this scheme.
