Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal
WILLTAMsPoRT, Oct. 16.-The largest meeting
Of the campaign was held in the opera house this
afternoon, the building being filled and many
not being abs to gain admittance. Hon. John
NJ. Butler was the speaker, and, being favorite
with the people in this vicinity, was warmly re-
ceived. He treated the issues with due respect,
denouncing the Infamous acts of the Democrats,
among them the gerrymander. the State govern
ment and ring rule Of State institutions. His
explanation CT the liquor plank in the Repub-
lican State platform was direct contradiction
Of that given by Mr. Myers. Democratic candi-
date for Secretary of State in his speech at this
place few weeks ago. He treated the tariff
and labor questions at length and TO the point.
The action of the President in vetoing the pen
sion bills passed by the last Congress was ably
discussed. 1t was the best speech made here
during the present campaign.

A Question of Delinquent Taxes.

To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
The Danville Gazette claims that Mr.. Chase
misstates the facts when he says that Col. G..
c. Matson, Democratic candidate for Congress,
is delinquent taxpayer in Putnam county.
The truth is Matson owes $29 05 delinquent tax
to the county and also owes delinquent tax to
the city of Greencaste. This delinquency
covers the past three years. Possibly Matson
is not resident Of Putnam county, but if he is.
he should pay his share of the peoples burdens

Muncie. addressed large crowd of Republicans
at this place last night After discussing at
length the State issues and appealing with good
effect, to his hearers to stand by the party of
equal rights and free ballot, he spoke of the
local quarrel which has so seriously divided the
people Of the county for the past few weeks.
He announced that. for the sake of harmony, he
had withdrawn from the race for judge, and
urged the people to stand by the candidate
whom the party might select to I'll the vacancy
apon the ticket, against Mr.. Templer. who
refused to heed the mandate of the people as
declared in mass convention last spring. Mr..
Mellette was accorded most respectful hearing,
and his address did much to convince the people
that what he has done in the matter of the
judgsship, and the sacrifice he has made was In
the interest of the party and with view to its
success. Mr.. Mellstte is doing some hard work
for the straight ticket in this county and it will
tell in the result at the polls on election day.

A Kick In the McSt.

A slight obstruction TO Boss Quay S plan
for the control of the Republican state con-
vention is interposed 10y the friends of
Major f. A. Montooth, of Allegheny
county, candidate for lieutenant governor,
and of Chill w. IIazzard, of Washington
county, aspirant for congressman-at-large.
These gentlemen have been quietly laid on
the shelf for the denomination of Davies,
as an additional vindcation of the old
ticket, and for W. II. Roberts, the torpedo
man, because he has plenty of money
The young Republicans of the West are
not inclined to accept the smothering pro-
cess with good grace. Montooth espe-
cially is lively customer and, with Ale
gheny county and a considerable number
of other delegates behind him, can make
trouble.
To protect himself Quay has had his
own constituents instruct him for Davies
and Davies himself is telling that as Wolfe
bolted because of his defeat in 1881 il
would take the sting out of the Wolfe
movement if Davies were renominated
now.
These devices show that the Quay
Beaver-Davies combination is a little ap
prehensive. If the West will stand b,
Montooth he can get terms and possibly
his nomination.

As n yptopr

Some of the rather near-sighted Re-
publicans are anticipating feast of fat
things over the presidents vetoes of
fresh batch of pension bills. They seem
to think the country is about ready to
favor anything in the way of pension
bill and that it is very unpopular thing
to oppose or veto any such. They will find
themselves mistaken. Considering the
number and quality of pension claims that
can pass and be paid by the regular
machinery of the pension department, a
case that will not stand that test and has
to go to the favor of Congress, where very
slight inspection of its merits is made. is
to be viewed with a good deal of suspicion.
The president has been giving some
scrutiny to these bills, good deal more
than they get from congressman his best
political reputation has been made as a
vetoer he began that way when he was
mayor he kept it up and improved on it
as governor and they who expect to make
party capital out of his vctoes will find
they gnaw q file.

Batting the Wolfe,

The Philadelphia Press is not wise in
challenging Mr.. Wolfes integrity of mo-
tive, by declaring that there would be no
trouble with him now if his party had here
tofore given him what he wanted. 1t dis
tinctly imputes to him corrupt motives in
three political transactions by alleging
that he would not have bolted Beaver if he
could have got from the bosses what he
wanted, the nomination of lieutenant gov
ernor that in lSSl he became a candidate
for state treasurer because the Independ-
ents and Democrats would not join to make
him United States senator: and that in
1885 he supported Cameron for United
States senator, because the bosses made
place for " his man" from Union county.
We are under the impression that Mr.
Wolfe has already distinctly answered and
denied all of these charges and imputations;
and we are very much mistaken in our es-
innate of him if he does not return to the
refutation of them with renewed vigor.
The Press has given him the opportunity
he would most naturally have sought.

ATTORNEY GENERAL HoRp, of Indiana,
is apparently one of those individuals who
believes that the end iustihes the means.
Here is his plan to stamp out Mormonism +:
"Enact a law enabling woman who has
been sealed to a Mormon to recover pro
portionste share OF his possession, and to
obtain divorce whenever she becomes dis
satisfied. Then encourage a few adventur-
esses to go to Utah, become sealed to the
wealthy Mormons, and in few weeks, as a
purely business transaction, become dssatis.
fed and demand a division" A reform
that requires harlotry for its accomplishment
cannot commend itself to Christian men.
The cure is worse than the disease.

The story that a French cOmpany are
pushing project for the opening of canals on
the north coast OF Africa whereby the Sahara
desert would be changed into an inland sea,
has given rise to most profound speculalions
as to the disastrous effects of such proceed
ings- 1t was alleged that the drawing
OF such vast body of water from
the oceans of the world would go
lower the general level that many of the most
prosperous harbors would be rendered use
less, that dangerous current would be
created through the straits OF Gibralter, and
hnally geologist gravely prophesied that
the Withdrawing OF so much water south
ward would have the effect of drawing the
ice cap at the North Pole in the same direc-
tion to the ruin of prosperous Northern peo.
pie and to the disad vantage of France itself T:
tor by the alteration of their climate the
French would lose more Gin France) than
they would gain in Africa.
1t is pity that so much learning should
be wasted, but as the Sahara desert is on an
average about 500 feet above the sea level, il
Is evident that we may not be alarmed. The
proposed inland sea will be smaller than the
lake OF Geneva, and will be hardly visible on
school boys map of Africa; il will not he
deep, and the serious problem before the
engineers will be to supply it with enough
water to balance the evaporation, which will
DO very great The country that will form
the shores of this little sea Is not sandy
waste, but is reported to be well covered with
valuable timber.
