THE GOVERNOR TALKS.
Governor Gray, of Indiana, Has Something
toSay About Politics.
[Chicago Inter-Ocean, Yesterday.l


Governor Gray, of Indiana, one of the
most sagacious Democratic politicians of the
party, and perhaps the coming United States
Senator from the Hoosier State in the event
his party is successful in electing majority
to the Legislature this fall, was at the Grand
Pacific Hotel last evening, and in speaking
OF the muddle in the Seventh Congressional
District, said that it grew out of a ruling of
Jackson Landers, the Chairman of the Con-
gTessional Convention, which met in 1ndi-
annapolis June -. THE ruling was in re-
lation to some contested seats" he said.
The Chairman was friend of Hon. W. d.
Bynum, the present Congressman, and ruled
against delegation of Mr.. 8ailey's friends,
Mr. Bailey being the other candidate. The
result was the Bailey crowd bolted
the convention and nominated their
man, while the Bynum delegates remained
and nominated Mr.. Bynum. Which of
these two factions were entitled to the seats
in the convention was never investigated,
but each claim the nomination of their can
didate by some two or three majority. Mr..
Bailey has offered to withdraw from the
lace if Mr.. Bynum will, but L understand
that Mr.. Bynum has said that he will not
do it,"
The Governor was then handed an extract
from a letter written by Mr. Bynum in re-
ply 10 a demand from the Marion County
Central Committee for his withdrawal. The
letter contains Mr.. Bynum's declaration that
he would not withdraw.
We'll. " said the Governor, ''that puts mat
tiers in bad shape. While the district is
strongly Democratic, Madison County,
with a Democratic majority of 800
having been recently added, both Of
them can not be elected. Bailey will
run if Bynum does, as he claims the
nomination" When asked regarding Mr..
Bynum's standing with the Democracy
OF the district the Governor said that he
well before, but that he did not know that it
was or account Of any personal popularity
as the entire ticket ran well. The Governor
had heard of some dissatisfaction as to By
mum, but did not exactly know what il was.
he said that it was claimed by some that Mr..
Bynum had been guilty OF distributing some
patronage, but he did not know how true it
was.
Speaking of Indiana politics in general
the Governor thought there was disposition
TO put the convention off as late as possible
He SAID matters were very quiet. However,
he thinks the administration is somewhat
stronger in his State than it was q short time
ago. He does not bank much on the present
management of the civil service law, and
thinks that removals should not be made too
rapidly. The disappointments of those who
did not receive the Presidential grace, he
thinks, will be forgotten IN another cam
paign.

An Attemnt To Get Ont.

CHICAGO, June 26.-ShOrtly after u O'Clock the
Lake Shore officials took an engine out OF the
rOund-hOuse at FOrty-third street and under
strong police guard attached it to a cabOose and
started toward EnglewOOd. There was a large
and excited crowd at Forty-third street. supple
mented by large number OF idle men and boys
In the eaboose were anumoer OF the town OF Lake
police and Pinkerton's police. Immediately
after the engine started the strikers made an
attack on the roundhouse and drove away the
few deputies on guard. They then took posses
sion of two locomotives which had been fred up
and proceeded south on the railroad to overtake
the caboOse. This high handed proceeding was
witnessed by a large crowd. which made wild
demonstrations OF approval as the locomotives
pulled out. On board the Locomotives were
forty or fifty strikers or adheIents The captured
locomotives were run at a high rate OF speed
and soon overlook the train, the foremost loco
motive running into the rear of the cabOose but
not OYerturning IL. The deputies in the cabOOse
when the locomotive ran into the car, fired some
shots from their reviewers: but as near as can be
from the train and fed toward EnglewOOd. The
mob at once took possession of the train and
ditehed it. The excitement over the affair is
very great The police appear to have lost COM
plete control and the strikers are in practical
possession OF the railroad cOmpany's shops and
property outside OF the city. Several strikers on
the pursuing locomotive, ii is reported, were
shot
AS the Lake Shore train was being pulled back
to FOrty-frSt street by the strikers engines the
crowd along the track threw rocks and other
missiles through the windows of the cabOOSe.
The persons inside sought refuge under tables
and benches and escaped serious injury. The
arrival at FOrty-nint street was hailed with
cheers by the great crowd OF istrikers and their
Sympathizers who were assembled there. The
engine went into the rOund-house leaving the
cabOoSe on the side track.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR AS STATES
MEN
A Tremendous Political Revolution Now
Pending.
lJohn sMinton-s Paner.I

iJonh SniHtOu . IdpeEl
If the Knights of Labor throughout the
country carry into practical effect at the
elections of next November the policy pre-
scribed at the recent session of the General
Assem- bly,, we shall soon behold the most
important political revolution that has oc-
Cured in the United States since the aboli-
ton of slavery.
Twelve or more special demands-which
we printed at the time of their adoption
were made relating to the land question. the
money question, the levying of a graduated
income tax, the regulation of the labor of
miners, etc; a committee of three was ap-
pointed 10 enforce these demands upon Con-
gress and it was resolved. in the name of
the General Assembly X. of L.:
THAT We hold responsible at the ballot
box all Congressman who refrain from yot-
ing in compliance with these demands
This Is assuIedly grand programme of
action, adopted by the highest authority of
the Order, which has not far from one million
mem beTs, nine-tenths of whom are voters
and will cast then ballots next November for
congressman, and in many States, for men,
bers of the Legislature and State officers.
This host OF voters is at least One-twelfth
OF the voting population of the country 1t
can easily control enough members of Con-
gress to hold the balance of power in the
House, besides electing hundreds of men,
beTs of State Legislatures and executive Off
GERS.
Make no mistake about this matter. The
General Assembly meant that its new policy
should be enforced at the polls, with the full
power of its membership. We trust that all
concerned will fully comprehend their duty
in the premises. The Knights of Labor en-
ter the political field to secure certain speci-
fed Objects and a multitude of voters out
side of the Order will surely join hands with
them in securing these objects. This is Sc
rious business.
1t will be the duty of the Congress Com
mittee to make report upon the conduct OF
ali Congressman in respect to these demands.
1t will be the duty of all true Knights to
give heed to these reports. In the mean.
time every voter should watch the record
made by his own Representative in Congress.
We presume that the General Assembly,
at the October session at Richmond. Will
make all necessary preparation for giving
practical effect TO the policy adopted at the
Cleveland session. There is heavy work to
be done, and it should be done thoroughly.
and there should be no ravelled strings or
loose ends. The cooperation of the Changers,
the Trades UnionistS, the Greenbackers and
all friends of labor and progress must be
sought for.
1t is new departure, and if its terms are
faithfully kept by all concerned, we shall
within half year behold political reyo-
luton of incalculable importance to the
country. The working people will have a
voice-and it VIII be their own voce-in
the balls of legislation, and hand in the
control of public affairs.

Ex-President Arthur.

New YORK, June 24.-Ex-P President Ar.
thur left this city this afternoon for New
London, Conn, over the New York, New
companied by his son. Allan, his sisters,
Mrs. McElroy and Mrs. Cav Miss Nellie
Arthur and her maid and DR.. Peters. Mr..
Arthur walked through the station leaning
on the arm of his son. He stepped up to
the platform alone, but slipped and nearly
fell at the top step. Recovering himself, he
entered the car. The ex-President looked
pale and worn. His illness seems to have
severely preyed upon him. The party en-
tered the private car of President Watrous.
Mr.. Arthur at once seated himself on a sofa
and began to read a paper. Several friends
came to say goodbye. To one of them he
said: my only trouble is in my stomach"
Then he added, laughingly: "You know
how good that used to be-"

OTTO I, THE NEW KING OF BAVARIA.
Poor Ludwig ii, of Bavaria, who ended..his
strange, insane career by suicide, is sue
ceeded as King of Bavaria, by his younger
brother Otto. This arrangement conforms
to the Constitution, but Otto is only nomi-
nally King, and the reins of government are
actually held by Prince Luitpold. his uncle,
who was made Regent only few days before
Ludwig's tragic end, and is now continued
IN office. The Bavarian army has sworn
allegiance to the new King and Regent, aud
there are no indications of political disturb
ance. A patient people are Frustrated with
grief, for the dead was sincerely loved by
the masses of his subjects. These respect
fully acquiesce in the Constitutional provis-
ion which gives them one insane King in
the place of another.
King Otto was born April %, 1913, the Sec
ond son OF Macmillan H., and of Queen
Marie, his wife. This lady, who is a daugh-
ter of the late Prince Wilhelm, OF Prussia,
after the deposition of Ludwig and the es-
Enlistment of the Regency, expressed her
intention of retiring to a convent. Her life
has been q sad one, as her father and brother
both died mad; her son Otto, the new King,
has been by long-standlng malady placed
under restraint as a lunatic eighteen years,
and she now mourns the madness and death
of her eldest son, the late King.
The Regency OF Prince Luitpold, which
may be of long standing, King Otto being
only thirty eight years old, may have an inn
portant effect on the politics of Germany.
King Ludwig had a Liberal administration
at the head of affairs during the last six
of his reign. and was a sincere friend of Bis
maIck. Prince Luitpold is an ultra-Catho-
lie and anti-Prussian in his views. Two of
his three sons. the eldest of whom would
succeed Otto as King in the event OF his
DEATH have married Austrian Archduch-
esses. Austrian and Catholic have sue
ceeded pro.Prussian tendencies in the adj
ministration, but there is no apprehension
of trouble, Berlin having received the news
of the establishment of Prince Luitpold
with indifference. 1t may he, moreover,
that the change may assist the improved
understanding between Bismarck and the
Pope which now obtains.

An Exciting Race.

CHICAGO, June 26.-The Lake Shore engine, in
charge Of the regular crew, left the round-house
shortly after II O'Clock. Two cabooses were at
tsched to il instead Of one as at first announced.
On each caboose were about fifteen Town OF Lake
police and twenty PiDkerten men. The train
proceeded at a rate no faster than walk until It
arrived in Englewood, when the officers mounted
the eOw-cathers OF both engines and the caboOses
and the train started of at the rate OF two miles
hour. a large crowd of the strikers had rush
ed ahead OF the train while ii was proceeding az
slow rate, and at dead run set out for Enge-
wood. As the train speed was accelerated the
crowd was soon passed, and a storm OF stones and
clnders were thrown into the men on the outside
OF the engines and cabooses. A cry OF rage weI
up from the tnrOats Of the mob as the engines
dashed By. Soon a Chicago Milwaukee and St.
Paul engine, and one belonging TO the Nickel
Plate road, passed the crowd Of strikers. The en-
zines were on their way to the EngiewOOd yards
belonged, but as they passed the crowd they were
boarded by 100 furious men who, without cere-
mOny, took undisDuted possession.
The engines were at first supposed TO have been
taken from the Lake shore round house. Then
began one OF the most exciting races on record
Faster and faster few the Lake Shore train, and
faster and nearer came its pursuer. Thirty, forty,
and then fully fifty miles an hour were covered by
the pursued, and still the Pursuers crept up.
Matt PiukertOn jumped to his feet on the hind
platform OF the lastcabOose and a revolver flashed
in his hand. Back, back. back be cried, but
was only answered By cries OF deriSiOn from the
dense crowd which completely covered the pur-
suing engine. As il drew nearer the faces OF the
strikers could be seen through the dense volumes
Of smoke left behind by the engines OF the Lake
Shore train as they tore along. The pursuing en-

a good Secretary OF War, is a modest man,
and the American people will not rePudiate
his fathers name. There is General Logan,

Better of for the Presidents JOY.
TD.,,1 NFortaNn~otto


President Cleveland's home rule problem
for even so happy an event as the wedding
of the chief of our "kin beyond the sea" pre-
sents itself to us in the light of our own
domestic troubles-is solved now, and we
venture to convey to him all those congratu-
lations and respects which Englishmen send
more heartily, to America when opportunity
presents than anywhere else in the world.
He had our best wishes during bis electoral
struggle, we have followed his official career
with close attention, and much of it with
equal approval, and now that the day has
dawned for him which must relegate, for
the time at any rate, all policies and Presi-
denotes to the sphere of the infinitely little,
may address him again. The more any
man introduces into his public work among
other men the influence which a good
woman who is his wife exerts npon himself
the better for society, and the fewer obsta-
cleS are there likely to be in the path OF
those who have its elevation and its simpli-
fcation at heart. America will be the better
off for her Presidents 10y.

CROP PROSPECTS.
Conclusion Arrived at by the Rural Home

ROCHESTER, June 26.-From the compilation of
reports from over 5000 special correspondents the
American Rural Home reports: Thegeneral con

Large portions OF the crop in Missouri
