With characteristic meanness, Indiana
Democrats are trying to ipiure General
Harrison by accusing him of lack of sym
pathy with workingmen because of his
connection with the Indiana Committee
Of Safety, during the railroad riots of
1877. They were glad to have his help
while indianapolis was In danger from an
angry and dangerous mob. Now they are
attempting to make political capital for
themselves out of his self sacrificing SER
vices. A poor creature, one Bailey, has
prepared q speech which he has delivered
in Indiana, and which Democratic papers
of the baser sort are reprinting elsewhere
The fact that the State militia was called
out and Gen. Harrison was offered the
command of the State forces by Governor
"Blue Jeans" Williams, a Democrat, Is
studiously ignored; aud the other fact
that the Committee of Safety was un-
partisan, composed of men OF all par.
ties, Is also left out of sight. Senator
Joseph Mcdonald, lifelong Democrat,
was intimately associated with General
Harrison on that committee and 10 oil the
movements to end the riot. To Gen.
Lew Wallace, Senator Mcdonald said:
II was associated with General Harrison
In conference with the strikers, and
throughout he advised a peaceful settle
ment Of the trouble. l have no recolec-
tion of his using any bloodthirsty Ian
guage or insulting any representative of
the strikers during our conferences.
Being questioned by o reporter concern
ing this business, Senator Mcdonald lid:
II don't think that will cut much of a
figure as an issue 10 this campaign"

FAMOUS CRIME REcALLgp.
Trial of the knights OF the Golden Circle
In Indiana.

SHOALS, Ind, Sept. THE trial of
the celebrated Knights of the Golden
Circle case has just begun in the Martin
county court. Great interest In this trial
is manifested, and the people crowd the
court room at every session. The prison
ers are Rev ]. w. Stone, a Campbellite
preacher; John G.. Jones, county com.
missioner; Albert Quackenbush, William
Stanfield and James Archer, farmers.
Although the crime was committed "a
years ago-March 18, 19s4-when Jack
son Ballard, Union soldier, was riddled
with bullets by the Knights of the Golden
Circle, public interest seems just as in
tense as IL time we're but q month. The
prosecution Is the result of the acquittal
of young Charles Archer, son of one of
the defendants, of the murder of his
sweetheart, Miss Anna Stanfield, daugh-
ter of another of the defendants. The
crime and trial brought about bitter
feud among the elders, and Albert Quack-
enbush, alarmed at the loud talk on both
sides, determined to save himself from
any exposure of the crime of "a years ago.
He went before the grand jury and made
clean breast of the fearful deed of him I.
self and his fellow knights. Fifty wit.
nesses have been summoned to testify in
the case.

the Sheriff were not required in the pre-
paration OF the panels of Grand and Petit

Commissioners were elected for all couu-
ties, aud they will, for some time to come,
perform the duties Of the Sheriff 80 far as
the preparation Of lists and selection of

concerned. In accordance with the pro-
vision that the Commissioners should not
be of the same political party, they were
elected by the Legislature 10 represent
the Democrats and the Republicans alike.
There will DO two radical changes in
the new system over the old. By the old
system the Sheriff selected the Grand Ju-
rors. There was no drawing of names

Ia addition to the regular annual exhi.
bition Of the Pennsylvania State Agricul-
tural Society, which Is always frst-clasa--

any State or providcial exhibition Ia
America there will be the following new
and fresh attractions during the Fair OF
1888:
1. The facilities for reaching and leav-
ing the grounds will be greatly improved.
Exceptionally low railroad rates.
2. The accommodations on the grounds
for ladies and children, as well as men,
have received special attention, and viii
be far in advance of other years.
3. The trotting- track has been mateFi-
ally modified since 1887, the curves
heightened, the roadway broadensd, and
everything removed that heretofore pre-
vented full and unobstructed view Of
the entire course from the grand stand.
A. The increased prizes to be awarded
for horseback riding, ladies as well as
| gentlemen, insure that much additional
interest will be manifested In this direc-
| ton. While there viii be premiums for
speed and fancy riding, the main object
will be to encourage ease and graceful
| ness with health-giving exercise Ia eques-
trianism; and competent judges will also
be selected to award very liberal prizes
for style, smoothness, and variety of gait.
8. More liberality will characterize the
premiums for trotting, running, and
| jumping matches; while the strictest rules
will be observed regarding the character
of tho participants.

Vermont made her answer to The Demo.

Vermont made her answer to the Demo-
cratic Free Trade challenge last week,
and IL was as emphatic as that some time
since made by Oregon. The Republican
candidate for Governor is elected by a
majority of about 28, 900, the largest ever
given at September election aud a gain
of 5000 over four years ago. The Senate
Is solidly Republican, gain of three
Representatives will contain 225 Republi.

taken 10 connection with that 10 Oregon,
is important as showing the drift of pub.
lie sentiment, and 1t points unmistakably
to an overwhelming Republican triumph
throughout the country in November.

"A Boston daily gives the following
item concerning the Rev. franklin John.
sou, d. D., former pastor of the Bap.
list Church in this city:
The Old Cambridge Baptist Church of
Cambridge is abont to lose its paster,
Rev. Franklin johnson, ID. d., who an.
nounced to his hearers yesterday fore
noon that he contemplates spending q
year abroad, In company with his wife,
and that they intend to start the last OF
this month. In order to do this he has
resolved to resign the passionate, which
he has held for nearly 10 years, aud o
letter of resignation will be read to the
congregation on the FIRST Sunday in
October. A great many members Of
the church are still at their summer
homes, and the notice that DIR. johnson
gave his audience yesterday was wholly
informal, he deeming IL advisable TO
wait until the return of all his people
before sending in formal resignation.
Rev. Dr. johnson, previous to going TO
Cambridge, officiated as pastor in the
First Baptist Church in Bay City, Mich,
in Lambertville, N. j.. in Passaic, N. j.,
in the Sherman Avenue Baptist Church
in Newark, N. j., entering upon his
duties in the Old Cambridge Baptist
parish Jan. /, 1874. The society has
been prosperous, both spiritually and
financially, under his administration,
having nearly doubled its membership.
During the last five years an average of
$l2, 900 per annum has been paid into
the treasury. The church edifice. which
cost 1925, 900, was free from debt before
he received the call TO become its pastor.
After the communion service yester.
day, Rev. DR.. johnson said that he felt
well, and is not going away on account
OF poor health, but because the special
studies which he intends to pursue in
the East and the change OF scenes will
tend to brighten up the mind, help him
out OF the ruts and make him better
fitted for the work which God may here.
after call upon him to do. He also said
that his wife and himself have no de-
finite plans. beyond going at first to
Athens. which CITY they will make their
postoflice address. They expect to sail
from New York city on the Florio Ru-
battino line of italian steamships, which
make their first landing at Leghorn.
Mrs. johnson has always been great
aid TO her husband in his religious
labors, has won warm and affectionate
regard ia the hearts OF all, and hers will
indeed be a difficult place to fill.

That the statesmen Of the "Davis Sew.

ing Machine" are the happiest and most
contented men on the road, is accounted
for by the fact that "The Davis has only
to be known, and the advantages Of the
vertical Feed" explained, to effect a
sale. The simplicity Of The machine and
the ease with which its every detail may
be mastered, makes it the most desirable
of sewing machines. No better proof Is
required that IL excels all other machines,
than the fact that never in the experience
of any sewing machine agent, can 1t be
honestly asserted that Davis Machine
has been replaced by one of different
make. It's superiority establishes Its per-
manence 10 every home where 1t has been

thieves aud dealt With accordingly. The
following facts show the justice of such
action: a shrill cry at nearly half past
II o'clock aroused attention apd on going
out on the porch, several men were
seen surrounding drunken man, trying
to force something from him. They
we're sharply spoken too, but the ones
who bad the man down were too busy to
heed. On going ont, lamp in hand. to find
the names of the persons who we're aiding
the thieves, it was discovered the man had
been carried over near Col. Heath's, and
part of the thieves were standing at Thos.
Hunts corner, though at the time, inius-
tice was done them, by thinking they
were honest men. After waiting little
time, Policeman Cleary put In an appear
ance and was spoken to and went to the
rescue of the one who had fallen among
thieves. The noise of running feet told
plainly that they had been truly and well
called. After the policeman and his
charge had disappeared, much to my in
tense surprise, shrill whistle from Thos.
Hunts corner sounded for the recall of
the runaways to return to their comrades
But in the future--from this experience
will judge all men who will stand by and
see others commit theft on drunken
man, as guilty as those who commit the

that justice is melted out alike to those
