The Late Courtlandt Palmer.

New YORK. July 26.-The late home of Court
landt Palmer was crowded almost to sufocatien
to-day by the friends who came 20 attend his
funeral Services. The Nineteenth Century Club,
of which Mr.. Palmer WAS the founder. was
largely represented, and many Of the most dis
tinguished men of the country were present.
The remains of the deceased advocate Of free
dom of thought reposed naturally in a rosewood
casket, which was laden with flowers. Col.
Robert G. Ingersoll, who was to deliver the ad-
dress, took q position on the stairs, and In q
calm, tender tone of voice said:
NJ friends, a thinker of pure thoughts, q
speaker OF brave words, aud q doer OF generous
deeds has reached the silent heaven that all the
dead have reached, and where the voyage Of
every life must end. and we. as friends who
even now are Fastening after him. are met to do
the last kind acts that man can do for mau-to
tell his virtues, to lay with tenderness and tears
his ashes in tie secret place Of rest and peace.
Some one has said that ia the open hands Of
death We will find only what they gave away.
Let Us believe that pure thoughts. brave words
and generous deeds can never die. Let us be-
lieve that they bear fruit and add forever 10 the
well-being Of the human race; that q self-deny-
gives assurance that the future will be better
than the past A free and independent man.

Colonel Ingersoll finished by reading one OF
Mr.. Palmer's poems. Religious services were
read by Mrs. PaImer's pastor, Rev. DIR. r.

of the ashes will occur at tie convenience Of the
family.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
State Issues To BE Remembered.

SUI - u
To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
The question of protection is deservedly q
prominent one in State aud national politics in
this campaign. But the people Of Indiana have
not forgotten and cannot forget that there are
other burning questions that must be made to
stand out prominently and have q controlling in
fuence in this State. The Democratic ~copspir-
acy, engineered by the leaders of that party in
the last Legislature. is the most prominent OF
these. Every voter knows how the will Of the
majority was set aside BY fraud and violence.
and a majority of the voters stand ready to
aveuge that wrong at the ballot-box this fall.
The Democratic party see their danger and
have undertaken to divert the attention of the
people 10 other matters. They have given the
chief instruments in their dirty work back seats.
The people are looking to the Republican party
to give due prominence to this great outrage az
an lssue in this campaign. They are confident
~ and earnestly desiring that the man who rep
resents this issue, and in whose person their
rights were outraged as never before in the his
tory of this great State, be nominated for Gov
ernor. and his name is Robert S. Robertson.
The Republican party will rally With enthusiasm
to his support Many Democrats who recog-
nize the great wrong done, and who desire to
record their aversion to this style
of shotgun politics will vote for him.
This is especially true in this part of the State.
10 place any other man At the helm would be
concedinR a strong position to the enemy, and
would be throwing away our most effective am
munition. 1t would be concedipg, too, that in
all that despicable business we were insincere
or wrong and the Democracy right The logic
Of the situation demands the nomination of
Robertson. Aside from this. he is in every way
worthy. He is a fearless and effective speaker
aud an able exponent Of the principles Of the
Republican party. His record as a
gallant soldier and honorable citizen is
known to the people Of this State.
He believes. too, that gallant Ben Harrison will
be the next President of the United States. and
that the Republican party will win in Indiana
this fall. The party asked him TO make the
race for Lieutenant governor in 1876. and he led
what many supposed to be q forlorn hope fol-
the same office at the urgent request Of his
party again in 1886. He ia a loyal, willing and
tireless worker. He has fought many hard
battles for his party. and sacrificed not a little
for it, and deserves we'll at its hands.
Waving the question of acting fairly and
justly with him. can the Republican party in
Justice to itself afford at this time to nominate
any other man for Governor j. B. HAnFER.
