there is but little grain going forward either for

ests of the Republican party after meeting at
Chicago and consulting with the delegates from
all the States. These the facts in the case,
can easily be proven. and no fair minded man
will say there is any machine politics IN the
matter TIE friends of General Harrison.
far as I know have desire to force his NOM
ination over any other good Republican. provld
ed any other would give a better guarantee
for the sue cess of the Republican party; aud IN
saying this have doubt speak the sentiment
of General Harrison himself. for he is TOO good a
Republican and too true TO the principles OF the
party to wish anything done his own ag-
graudIzement that would initiate against the
interests of the great political party that ne
has served 80 long and so faithfully; and If
Judge Greshams friends will be equally fair
and discreet friendly rivalry can go with
out engendering any unpleasant feelings on
either side.
cant cay how il is in other counties in the
State, but in Daviess county the Republicans
unanimous for General Harrison against the
field. But the Repu blicans of old Daviess never
eulk. Whoever gets the nomination win get
their hearty support I write this more to corr

convention tnan ANYTHING else. was delegate

sible to some extent for the manner in which
IL WAS conducted and | hold myself
IN readiness to prove every word | nave written
in the above. One of the grave charges that the
Democrat makes against Gen. Harrison is that
he Is cold In his nature-freezing cold. Well the
Democrats ought to be the last people in the
world to charge him with being cold. because if
my recollection serves me right he made things
uncomfortably hot for the Democracy during
the Campaign of 1885, and il he gets the nomi-
nation for President he will make it so hot for
Grover Cleveland that it will roast him out of
the White House at Washington, D. G. This Is
fact that the Democrats well know and that Is
why they don t like Gen Ben Harrison.

Bring the $50 Meeting TO Ind,anapolis.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis JournaI
The meeting of the National Teachers Assoc
citation, for '88. is to be held July II to 20, at
San Francisco Cal This is the great annual
gathering of teachers. Representatives OF the
calling, to the number of several thousand,
from all parts of the Union come together for
acquaintance and counsel. The various meet.
ings last week. Each year there is consider.
able rivalry among cities for the meeting
sentiment is growing that these meetings
should be held at places centrally located in the
Mississippi valley. AS rule there are serious
objections to taking such gatherings TO places
away on at one side of the country There is,
perhaps more excuse for taking the meeting of
81 to San Francisco than in taking the meet
lngs OF former years to Saratoga, Madison,
Topeka, Minneapolis, and such places Sam
Francisco affords good opportunity to visit
the Pacific slope, and see its scenery and people.
But a place centrally locate in this great val
ley can easily draw five times as many teachers.
The States of Indiana. Illinois, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kentucky Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Nebraska contribute three
fourths or more OF the attendance. The place
OF such meetings should, therefore, be selected
with special reference to the warts of the
teachers and school people of these States.
INDIANAPOLIS stands the center of the
territory which contributes most bountifully to
the meetings of this association. It should
therefore. make an effort to secure the meeting
OF '89. The time is favorable. Every one will
be ready to vote the place of meeting to some
Indianapolis has many advantages to offer.
Trunk lines reach in all directions, no city in
the Union, of like size, has more or better ho-
tells. The cost of travel TO nine-tenths OF those
who attend would be nominal AS large or a
larger attendance than that at Chicago last
year could easily be secured. That at Chicago
was the largest ever held. From Indianapolis :
as a center, excursions readily reach the Mich- :
gan peninsula. the mountains OF Virginia and
Tennessee. the great lakes. Canada. the
Northwest aud other places of summer resort
Halls and places of meeting plenteous.
1t would. doubtless require some money and
some labor to secure the meeting. Most of the
funds are generally contributed by the railroads,
hotels, book-houses and other parties who prof
1t by the gathering. The meeting could be
made successful, at such location. for far less
than the liberal amount the people of California
and San Francisco spending on the meeting
of the present year. the main capital required
is energy. There is little doubt but that, if the
matter were taken hold of with general accord
and unanimty. the next meeting could be Sc
cured for Indianapolis.
The meeting of 1866 was held in orr capital
city, and was the first successful meeting after
the war. May repeat that meeting in

They Find 1t DlfHoult to Organize.

The local Democrats have not yet recovered
from the Decentralization that overlook them
when Sim Coy was convicted, and although the
township election is but three weeks ahead they
are yet without leader, and completely disor-
ganized. Heretofore it has been the custom to
leave everything to Coy. and consequently there
is no one in the party who feels capable of ac-
cepting tho responsibility of managing the cam
paign. When the new committee was organized,
ten days ago. Thomas Marley, councilman from
the Twenty-third ward, was elected chairman.
He did not attend the meeting. and was never
consulted as to whether not ne would accept
the position. When he was notified of his cleo
ton he declined to serve, and at special meet
ing of the committee held Saturday night he
sent in his resignation. He assigned as his cause
for this act that he has business interests which
require his entire attention. Il looked for a
time that the craftsmanship would go begging,
but finally John Schley. a deputy under John
E. Sullivan, county clerk, was persuaded to take
the position. The meeting was called for the
purpose of naming an executive committee. and
making some arrangements for looking after
the interests of the Democratic ticket but on
account of the embarrassment experienced by
the resignation of Mr. Marley, nothing was
done except to select his successor Another
meeting has been called for tomorrow night,
when Chairman Schley will announce the execu-
tive committee. 6n#~1

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A Sentinel Lie Exploded.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Jou rnal.
/ learn from q Efriend in another part
of the State that the Sentinel in an issue OF the

in the cloak-room-did not invite me to the
floor of the Senate. but treated me with indiffer-

have only to say that have no remembrance
of ever meeting Senator Harrison in the Senate
cloak-room, of being abruptly left by him
to stand alone.
l am greatly obliged to Senator Harrison for
his kind Offices in times OF need. Senator Voor-

in the present administration has enabled him

Heath by the very means he had resorted
to to save life. He fingered few hours,
but a glance disclosed that there was no
hope, and there was no remedy to cure.
Violent scalds or burns are in their nature
incurable, but there are thousands of minor
casualties or the kind occurring hourly In
every house or large mandatory for
which there is remedy, soothing, sure
and prompt, of which the following are
proofs: Mr.. Michael Higgins, Belcher &
Taylor Agricultural Tool Co., Chicopee
Falls, Mass, May 4, 1887, writes: "This
company has used ST. Jacobs Oil for years
for their men Tor burns, cuts and bruises,
and we know of nothing that compares
with it, Mr.. G.. Oehrle, Lawrence, Kan,
April Is, 1887, writes: "A lamp exploded
in my Office, and in trying to put it out,
cut and burned my hand very badly with
glass. st. Jacobs Oil cured me-" Mr.. j.
w. Nevis, % Rock street, Lowell, Mass,
says: For burns and chapped hands I
know st. Jacobs Oil to be excellent" Mr..
"A, Schultz, Cleveland, Ohio, February 5,
1887: I'VE consider ST. Jacobs Oil very
valuable remedy for burns" Mr.. A. Mas
key, Wexford, Pa, writes February Z, 1887:
.I have used ST. Jacobs Oil for years, and
know, it to be the best for burns" Mr.. j.
w. Ames, Fairmont, Neb., February Z,

for burns as for bites" Mr.. w. A. Schroe-

haveased it for burns, and can say it does
its work as recommended" OF course, in
violent burns and scalds, and the treatment
of raw surfaces, the directions accompany
ing each bottle must be strictly followed.
And if followed strictly, the soothing and
curing influence of the remedy is beyond
comparison. The cure is perfect, and a
clear, smooth surface is the result.
