At this quickened pace ones letter or

OF course human beings could not
travel at this speed. So the inventors OF
the new electro automatic transit system
propose to erect light, elevated struc-
iure about twenty feet high on which a
series of small cars, pointed at both ends,
shall run upon two tracks. The motive
power is To be furnished by a third
rail placed over the TOP of the cars, a
pulley connecting this track with the
cars. The express goods and mails are to
be placed in these small ears, locked up,

THE CHANCES IN INDIANA.
A Leading Democratic Journal Admits
that They Favor Harrison.
[ Indianapolis Letter to Louisville Courier
Journal.

indianapolis Letter to Louisville Courier
Journal.
The nomination of Harrison is pretty tough
on the Indiana Democrats. There is no use
now of Disgusting the situation as far as
Indiana is concerned. The Democrats have
got to put forth the greatest and mightiest
efforts of their lives to carry it. 1t is true
that they downed Harrison in 1876 when he
ran for Governor, but then the odds were in
their favor. 1t was the great Tilden cam
paigu, and Tom Hendricks was our candidate
for Vice President, and the heart of every
Indiana Democrat was fired with enthusiasm
and their energy was almost superhuman.
Then, in that memorable campaign Cen
oral Harrison did not get fair start Cod
love S. Orth was nominated for Governor.
but he was taken off the ticket and Harrison
substituted in his place. The result of this
was that many of Orth's friends sulked in
their tents, refusing to do active campaign
duty.
l don't think that the Harrison Gresham
contest here will hurt Harrison in Indiana
There is more party spirit to the square inch
in Indiana than in any State in the Union
When the two great parties in that State con-
front each other, and are drawn up in line of
battle, as they soon will be, you will see the
Gresham men standing side by side with the
Harrison men, and they will be found in the
thickest of the fight. l look to see a united
front on both sides, and an obstinate, des-
perate struggle. From now on to the finish
a blanket will cover the Democratic and Re-
publican racers, and the winner will not get
there by more than a nose. 1t will be the
prettiest hand-to-hand election contest ever
in this country, and if a whip or
! spur is lost or single error committed by
he Democrats they will lose the State.

The Boston Herald makes very lame
and absurd effort to deny that the Demo-
cratic policy is policy of free trade.
The Herald should emulate the candor of
Henry Watterson, who in his recent
speech at st. Louis, said:
'.The Presidents message has committed
the party to free trade, and any declaration
that was not in accord with the measure
would discredit the party. The platform of
1884 was proposed and carried as matter of
expedieney. 1t was said then that the Demo
Gratis wanted to get Into power Let them
get into power and they would declare for
free trade. They were in power. and now
the opportunity has come"
