INDIANAPOLIS will have the largest gather
ing of distinguished men on Tuesday next
that has ever been in the city. Every citizen
should feel personal pride in having the dem
onstration pass off worthily, creditable alike
to the honored dead and to Indiana and its
capital. We hope to see such general evil
dences of mourning over the sad event as are
suitable, because of the death of high and
distinguished national officer, and of an up
right, honorable man and esteemed friend and
neighbor. The disgraceful action of the hack
men should be the first and only exhibition of
churlishness and selfshness. That must be
perempterily checkmated and the men guilty
of it made to feel the righteous wrath of an
indignant people.

PULLED THE GRAND OLD MAN THROUGH
The country anxiously awaited the news from
Midlothian. In all of the principal cities and
towns great crowds gathered around the news-
paper Offices. There were thousands Of people
outside of the Cable News building,a at LIS o'clock
this morning, when the result of the
election in Midlothian was received.
When the announcement was made
that Mr.. Gladstone had received 1875
votes to 3,245 for Mr. Dalrymple the enthusi-
asm of the Liberals found vent in cheers and
singing of ''He's jolly good fellow" Groans
from the Conservatives and Nationalist min
gled with the cheers and a few scrimmages took
place.

Folkestone, Conservative, was elected.

Conservatives. also, are equally confident of
success. The bulk of the returns will
be declared tomorrow The Pail Mall
Gazette Analysing the election so far, gives the
total Conservative gain as thirty-seven and the
Liberal gain as twenty mine. London districts
which have hitherto been Radical are being car

the sixty divisions, expect to carry thirty
The Church Record, Analysing the result of the

candidates who favored disestablishment were
defeated and only twenty eight were returned.

an undiminished number of Liberal votes
throughout Scotland. There are no symptoms
of Conservative reaction in that quarter
The predictions of the Carlton Club members
based on reports of agents, show that they are
hopeful of only l25 majority over the Liberals,
thus leaving the balance Of power in the hands

The latest election returns foot up 131 Liber-
ais, 124 Tories and eighteen Parnellites elected
thus far The Tory net gain is twenty-six.

THE detectives who are hunting for the
tramp who murdered the Quaker farmer, Mr..
Sharpless, near Philadelphia, find themselves
hampered in their efforts by members of the
family, who are all Of the Society of Friends.
These relatives are willing that the wretch
should be caught and punished, but as the
murder was unprovoked and peculiarly afro
cious they know that the penalty would be
death, and this they are opposed to to such
an extent that they narrate the circumstances
of the affair with reluctance. This is what
some people call sticking to principle"

all around the four sides. Each wall has a gate,
and over the gates are towers with seven roofs,

a deep ditch, $50 feet wide
