ANOTHER HoOsIER HEARD FROM.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
In your issue of the ed l notice a
communication signed W, in answer to
former letter signed '.Hoosier." Being
"Hoosier" myself l paid par
ticuliar attention to each ar
ticle, and also being particu-
larly acquainted with both persons
mentioned, feel that can speak as freely
at least as Mr.. W, from Wellington. In
the first place Mr.. Walker-for that is
his pame-is an old correspondent of the
Madison, Indiana, Courier, one of Benz.
Harrison's champions. Mr.. W. says
Ben Harrison was not responsible for
the result of the campaign OF 1876 when
Blue Jeans Williams beat him. Ii he
was not, in the name of God who was:
If he was such & favorite in Indiana how
was it that Thomas Brown Porter and
all the rest always beat him for the NOM
ination?
Friend Walker, Garb and the rest did
their best to nominate him but to, no
avail. Gresham stands away up IN the
scale compared to Harrison and all the
rest of the Indiana boys in the neighbour
hood, and they are numerous, are for
Gresham, because they feel that in him
they have one known to be an upright,
honorable Judge. in whom they can
place implicit confidence judicialy, and
will not call out kid glove; and more
than that, l remember well one of the
old Sd Indiana cavalry saying-a great
blue stripe clear down his belly-"I am
for Ingalls, for president first, but if it
must be Hoosier | am for Gresham
first, last and all the time. 4.

fit for the staff of an intelligent governor;
a secretary who can bear creditable

OF his state, and every part of it, in dis
regard of personal rewards for so doing.
The body of men who are to come to-
gether in convention at Topeka to make
a record on men and measures to stand
as the work of Kansas Republicans, can
not afford to let the racket of location
drive such war horses as Noble Prentis
from the field and cheat the people out
of chances to do them honor. In point
of fact Mr.. Prentis' location can properly
be considered in the eastern end of the

long continued labors, if that is essential

WATTERSON'S NEW WILL-O'-THE-
WISP.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
doesn't seem to think much of Colonel
Watterson's brilliantly daring scheme
for re-electing Mr. Cleveland on the plat
form of his free-trade message and the
Mills bill by means of ELECTORAL votes TO
be won in the hitherto Republican north
west. 1t describes il as a queer and ap-
parently incurable delusion and is not
welcomed with universal favor and ap-
plause by his southern Democratic con-
temporaries. For this twenty years past.
the Louisiana paper reminds its readers,
the Democratic party has always been
just going to make these wonderful and
delightful gains in the northwest, and In
all these years it hasn't got a single cleo
torial vote there, or come anywhere
near getting one, kansas gave 81 900
Republican ma iority last time, says the
Times Democrat, Michigan 40, 600, Min
nesota 41,0c0. There is no
record in our political history
for years Of such malorities being
overturned from one presidential cleo
ton to another. There Is not the slight
est chance of il today. and this ancient
chestnut is being brought out simply
to induce congress to pass Mills absurd
bill
The New Orleans contemporary makes
