Governor Gray,s Senatorial solicitud,

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
In the declaration of that prince Of political
demagogues, Hon. Isaac P. Gray, in a recent
view of the fact that the next Legislature will
be called upon to elect successor TO Senator
Harrison, he would, if necessitated, vote for
the devil on the Democratic ticket in order to
send Democrat to the United States Senate
from this State our Governor is most charm
ingly frank; but he might have gone little fur
Their and explained his individual anxiety to rep
resent even his Satanic Majesty in the capacity
of United States Senator. This undignified
language emanating from the lips of one occupy
ing the proud position of Governor of our great
State must prove nauseating to every high
minded and respectable citizen thereof. 1t is,
however, in keeping with the past history Of
one who has never proven true to any party
only in so far as it could be made to subserve
his own private selfish ambitions. 1t is in keep
ing with the past history of one who, in 1851
subscribed to the blasphemous oath of the
Know-nothing party, by which no bound himself
never to vote for any foreigner or Roman Catho-
lie for any Cfice in the gift of the American
people.
Governor Gray may be, and probably is, sim
cere in saying he would, at the present time
vote for the devil on the Democratic ticket as
he is not bound by any past unpleasant obliga-
tons to refrain from so doing; but it is safe to
predict that the iron-clad oath to which he sub
scribed in the Know nothing lodge at New
Madison. O., in 1857. will lose the vote of orr
distinguished partisan Governor to the Demo
cratic candidate for State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction. who is an Irish Catholic

Trouble in Philadelphia's Postoffice,

Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
Mr. Harrity succeeded General Huidekoper on
Dec. /, 1885, and since then he has made
four hundred appointments. just about half the
entire force employed in the department The
Republicans who remain are not overly friendly
with the Democratic contingent. but most of the
trouble is caused by the Democrats themselves
There have been many intelligent Democrats ap-
pointed. but it appears that most of them have
made up their minds to do as little work as pos
sible. Those who passed the civil-seryce exam
inatior for clerkships found, on entering upon
their duties. that they were expected to carry
big mai-bags around and do such heavy work as
is usually performed by porters in wholesale
stores. They have turned mp their noses at this
saying that when they consented to figure on
the government pay rolls they calculated upon
obtaing a nice, easy job. The clerkships have
turned out to be myths, and the new appointees
are dissatisfied and discontented. Another source
Of trouble is the feeling of bitterness engendered
between the Catholic and Protestant Democrats
There are great many OF the former creed en-
ployed there. aud if y Catholic Democrat hap
pens to get 8 good position the Protestants in
that department point their fingers and say: s'lf

discussions have led to much Of the delay COM

Sheriff Carter has for the past several months,
with the regularity of clock-work, presented to
the County Commissioners his bill for boarding
FIVE or six prisoners who the Commissioners
say ought to have been sent to the work house.
The sheriff kept the prisoners until their terms
of imprisonment expired, because the Commits
sioners would not give him receipts for each one
individually. Had they done this he says he
would have turned Them over to the work house
authorities, but he was not going to do it on the
blanket order issued when the general transfer
to that institution of prisoners held for minor
offenses took place. 1t was part of the Commits
sioners' monthly duty to reject that BILL They
began to look for it; but yesterday the sheriff
took another course by fling suit against them
to recover the 1867 said to be due.

r., for the benefit of the charitable fund It
was under the management Of Mesdames Ross

this section Three tents spread
upon the lawn. The ice-cream tent was in charge
of Mrs Richards, and did thriving business,
Notwithstanding the chilly temperature of the
evening. The candy booth was under the man
agement of Mrs. Will Kercheyal, and likewise
did good business The third booth contained
a museum in which were many curiosities, and
proved to be quite a source of revenue A tenn
porary structure erected for dancing pur-
poses and all who so chose amused themselves
in that manner. There were games of all kinds,
and there was no lack of amusement for all
present. The ladies were we'll pleased with the

The National Assembly of Miners Willing to
Work tremendously with the Federation.

The National District Assembly of Miners
yesterday used their time mostly in discussing
the report of the committee on law which sub
mitted asform of constitution governing sub-dis-
tricts in their relation to the National Assembly.
There were no material differences ID the views
expressed. and the report was adopted without
amendment.
In the afternoon the committee on resolutions
submitted a series that called for extended de-
bate. The greater attention was given to that
which brought in review the action of the fed
Grated miners in prohibiting it's officers from
holding official position in any other labor or
ganization. The assembly miners avoided
any undue warmth of expression,
but at the same time criticised
such measure as not being conducive to the
best interests of miners. They considered that
this action had raised barrier between the as
sembly and federation. both of which should
work in unison for the same great end-the ele-
walton of the craft The resolution was finally
adopted, as follows:
Inasmuch as the Federation of Miners and Mine
Laborers has placed barrier between that orgaaza-
ton and order. Resolved, That the executive
officers of the National District Assembly confer with
tho officers OF the federation and try to work harmo
niously, providing the barrier is removed
The election of officers will take place to-day.
