He Presents Cleveland with a
Token of His Esteem.
When President Cleveland signed the
Scott Exclusion bill, j. s. Benn, a we'll
known maker of artificial flies in this
city who has always been Republican,
was 80 pleased that he cent him four
dozen of the finest flies of his own make,
with the following letter:
No. 1922 Folsom STREET,
SAN Francisco, CAL, October 5, 1881
His Eacellency Grouer Cleveland, Presi-
dent of the United States:
SIR-I am an humble citizen OF the
United States, resident of this State for
over twenty years, and have always been
an ardent Republican. l am engaged in
ing purposes, and have read of your
fondness for trout fishing, l send here
with four dozen flies made by myself,
which beg you will accept as slight
testimonial Of my high appreciation of
your brave and noble efforts in behalf Of
the working people of this country. and
particularly of this Coast, in putting a
quietus to Chinese immigration, and
that you may be as successful in catch
ing fish with these flies as hope you
will be in catching the votes of the
American people on the 9th day of No
vember next, 80 that you may continue
at the head Of this glorious country for
another four years, is the sincere wish
of yours respectfully J. S. BENIN.
On Wednesday Mr.. Benn received the
following autograph letter in reply:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, October %, 1885,
Mr.. j. S. Benn, S22 Folsom street, San
Francisco, California.
DEAR SIR have received your re.
cent letter enclosing number of trout
flies of your own manufacture, which
you are good enough to send to me with
expressions of personal regard and
friendly interest.
l appreciate very thoroughly your
polite attention, and regret that 1 do moi
see an early opportunity to enjoy the
sport for which you have helped to equip
me. l thank you none the less heartily
however. for the flies, and shall look
forward with pleasure to the time when
can use them. Very truly yours,

A Corner I'm Indiana Where the Re.
pubIicans Will Lose.
Along the Ohio river counties of In
diana, SAYS an Evansville, Ind, dispatch
to the New York World, there is not that
rampant hurrah that one hears in the
middle and northern sections of the
State. The contest is waged strictly on
the lines of the tariff, and old campaign
ers aver that they have never seen a
canvass in Indiana marked with so little
acrimony and 80 much respectability.
Beginning at Posey county, the south
western county of the State-the home
of General Alvin P. Hovey, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor-and ex-
tending to New Albany, the old home of
Judge Walter @. Gresham, both parties
are on the lookout for colonization of
voters. 1t is comparatively an easy
thing for dishonest men to skip across
the Ohio or Wabash river by sunrise,
deposit vote in Indiana for $5 and skip
back and vote by sunset in Kentucky
or Illinois.
A prominent Gresham man of Evans
Vile, who, for obvious reasons, does not
wish his name mentioned, said to me:
''The Republican managers are squeal-
ing colonization and fraud. There would
have been no necessity for such business
had Judge Gresham been nominated.
shall vote for Harrison, but it will be
one of the most reluctant votes of my
1sfa Tho Grachov,, houn rof1ood
to contribute to the national campaign.
They know what to expect of Harrison
and his friends if he be elected. Why,
Hayes will appear in history as colossus
compared with Harrison. I can count
twenty Gresham men in the city who
will not go to the polls, and dozen
be surprised if there we're five or six
hundred Of them. A great many, rather
than throw their votes away, will vote
the Prohibition ticket"
Evansville is the county seat of Van
derburg county. Evansville is to Indiana
what Rochester is to New York, the hot
bed of the anti-Prohibitionists. Wander
burg county gave Mr.. Cleveland in 1884
q plurality of SO out OF 10,949 votes cast.
With the detection Of the Greshamites
and the strong opposition to the local
option plank Of the Republican platform
the Democrats are predicting gain Of
400 or 500 votes. There are several large
breweries here and many distilleries
within calling distance. In 1884 all
these Industries supported the Republi-
can ticket. But the opposition of the
Republican party towards the liquor
traffice has revolutionized sentiment and
influence. Evansville has its Fred Cook,
as has Rochester. and, like the Rochester
Fred Cook, the Evansville Fred Cook is
a German and a brewer. Up to within
six weeks the Evansville Fred Cook was
a Republican and liberal in his contribu
tions. Perhaps because he found tha'

Democratic Doctrine on Tariff Re-
form as Taught by the Great
Leaders East and West.

We shall have an unusually merry
Thanksgiving this year. The festive
turkey will be in greater demand than
ever, and grateful nation will read Mr..
Cleveland's proclamation with the joy
GUS anticipation of four years more Of
honest government and business pros
perity. P. S.-The insinuation in the
above remark about Mr.. Cleveland is
based on facts which are yard wide
and all wool.-lNew York Herald, t1nd.)
The painful rumor is afoat that 50 far
as the Republican National Committee
Is concerned, if Harrison could possibly
be elected without Indiana, it would be
greatly preferred. The Committee
reasons in this way: If Indiana
goes for Cleveland, the Indiani-
ans cannot dictate to Harrison or
say who shall go into his Cabinet. There
is great deal of jealousy abroad in the
land against the Hoosier State. Our
reas on for this may be set down in the fact
that had it not been for John G. New, Of
the Journal of this city, Ben. Harrison
would never have been nominated for
the Presidency. One thing is GER
tain there is not that entente cordiale
existing between the State Central Com
mittee and the National Republican
Committee that there should be, and it
is said that the sinews of war have been
exasperatingly withheld from the
former.-[N. o. Times Democrat.
1t is an undisputed fact that the labor
element of Indiana is against General
Ben Harrison. You can see this on
every hand. Workingmen's Unions and
the knights of Labor Assemblies have
passed resolutions against him. He has
nothing in common with workingmen,
and during the great railroad strike
of 1877 took to arms and COM
manded a company and wanted
to shoot down the railroad strikers.
The good sense and judgment of
Major John Caven and "Blue Jeans"
Williams, who was then Governor of the
State, alone prevented bloodshed. 1t
was at this time that General Ben Har-
rison declared that "a dollar a day was
enough for any workingman, some
thing which workingmen have never
forgotten nor forgiven. They treasure
it up against him to this day. The third
Prohibs"-will cast thousands
Of votes in the State-thousands more
than they ever did before. A great ma
jority Of these votes will be drawn from
the Republican party. This will be
the case in this State, whatever
it may be in others. In this locality
the "Prohibs" have opened head
quarters and are working manfully and
injuring the Republicans tremendously,
who would fain whip them into their
ranks, but are entirely unable to. A
goodly number of colored people will
vote for Cleveland. They have two
papers in the State that have come out
boldly for Grover, and they do say that
it will be surprising to know how many
Negro votes will be cast for the Democ-
racy.-[New Orleans Times Democrat.

THE STORY OF A WIDOW.

A business man, says the New York
Eoening Sem, who lives little way above
the Harlem, not long since sold some buck
wheat to a poor woman in his neighbor-
hood. She had no money then, but prom
ised TO pay him some day. She stopped
his wife, who was driving by the house
one day, to give her the money, and apol-
ogized for the delay by saying that she
was poor widow with large family to
care for. She told how hard she and her
little boys worked in her garden patch,
how early they were all up every morn
ing, and yet how difficult it was to make
both ends meet, even though they did
work hard and long.
The lady felt sorry for her, and tried to
comfort her by saying 20 good-looking q
woman as she should marry again.
"Why, Mrs. c., / would" she said,
sbut who would have me with this big
family
"Lots would" replied Mrs. G. al
know two or three who would be tickled
to death if they had half . chance. I'll
send them around"
"You be sure to do it," said the widow.
as Mrs. C. drove of, laughing.
Mrs. G. forgot all about the widow and
the rash promise till . few weeks after,
when she was passing the house. The
widow stopped her again and seriously
asked her Why none Of the gentlemen she
had spoken Of had called. Poor MIRA C.
saw her joke had been NO joke to the
widow. She blushed and stammered, not
knowing what to say that would not hurt
her pride, and At last explained that sfaer
she had thought over the matter she had
concluded none ofthe men she had spoken
of would do, - the widow would be toe
particular.
