General Harrison's Acknowledgements g
South Bend.

South Bend Tribune
The Tribune telegraphed the congratulations
OF the Republicans Of South Bend and ST.
Joseph county to General Harrison on the day
of his nomination, and General Harrison replied
by mail as follows:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 3, 1888.
To the Editor of the South Bend Tribune.
Dear Sr-Please accept my hearty thanks for your
self and the Republicans of the old home of one of
Indianas greatest and most highly honored men, for
the cordial and words of congra.ulation and
promise cont aimed in your telegram of the 25th ult
Very truly yours. EENJ. HARRISON.
His graceful reference to the late Vice-presi-
dent Colfax will be highly appreciated here. Ii
is worth noting right here that as long ago as in
February. 1876, when Mr. Colfax predicted that
Hayes would be tine presidential nominee of the
Cincinnati convention. he also predicted that
General Harrison would be President some day.
He classed him then as among the ablest of the
younger politicians and statesmen of the coun-
try.

1.-THE BLOODY SHIRT.
A Kentucky Democratic Candidate An
nounces Himself Thorough Rebel Yet.

Special to the IndisnaDols Journsa
SHELBYvILLE, KY, Sept. 12.-Thers was
debate in the courthouse at Shelbyville to-day
between Hon. Augustus E. Wilson, Of Louis
vile, chairman OF the Republican State execu-
tive committee. and Hon. John S. Rhsa, DEM
oeratic elector for Kentucky, which shows the
straits to which the Democrats are compelled
to resort to try to Kentucky from going
back to the doctrine of Henry Clay. Mr.. Rhea
said In the most dramatical and theatrical man
ner, and the loudest possible voice:
''There is not a drop of blood in my veins,
from the topmost hair on the crown OF my head
to the dust on the bottom of the sole Of my
shoe, but 10 rebsl Democratic. If the issue
was to come again, by G., Ne would do ii
over"
This enthusiastic sentence was rapturously
applauded BY all the Democrats, except some
ministers, who expressed earnest disapproval o!
the profanity. 1t is proper to add that the TO
mark was not made in excitement, nor when
Mr.. Rhea was off his guard; that he was at his
very best, and simply let out his real senti
ment The man who made the speech and the
men who applauded il are those who are bawl
ing Oh the stump and in the papers about the
Radical cry of the bloody shirt"
Mr. Wilson's speech was devoted to the tariff
and furnished no occasion in any way for this
passage.

Comment of the Press.

Sc. Louis Globe Democrat: "The most inter
estinR matter which an American newspaper
has been privileged to print in several weeks
past is the letter of acceptance Of Gen. Benjamin
Harrison. which is found in to-days Globe
Democrat. 1t deals with the leading issues Of
national concern, and deals with them clearly
courageously and satisfactorily In it the free
trade schemes of the Democracy are strongly
condemned, and the Republican advocacy of the
protective policy Is as powerfully aud energetic
ally championed A more rigorous law than the
present one to prevent Chinese immigration is
favored, well as q moro thorough enforcement
of the law against the importation of contract
labor Liberal treatment of the soldiers of the
Union is demanded, the honest and impartial
observance Of the civilseryice enactment is ad-
vocstsd. and all trusts, pools and combines'
are forcibly and heartily condemned. The docu-
ment is a clear, honest and powerful preseuta-
tion of Republican policy the absorbing ma
tional questions of the time"
Chicago Tribune: "The letter. as q whole. is
an admirable contribution to political literature
1t abounds with good bits and we'll taken points.

with their colleagues. There can be no doubt
That they considerably cast down at the out
look. This feeling of distrust as to the outcome
has extended even TO the White House. As
consequence, the President has been sendn
right and left for Congressman of his party to
consult with them To the outlook in different
sections OF the country. One of these Con-
gressmen was Mr.. Vance, OF Connecticut. The
fresicent did not get very much announcement
from that bluntspoKen young politician, who
tod him that the outlook in his State was any
tmng but encouraging This Is not the hrst
tlme mr. Vance has taken occasion to express
ms disgust at the apparant inactivity of the
pemocratic managers at headquarters In re-
ply to question from the President, Mr.. Vance
saic very candidly that the State would GER
tainiy GO Republican unless some thing more
was done TO Offset the big efforts the Repnbii-
cans were putting forth. There was, in Mr..
Nances opinion, a good chance OF carrying the
State for the Democrats if the State was
worked from one end to the ether. There was
not, In his opinion, more than 800 votes either
way OF majority for either party, no matter
which won. He asked the President, now that
he had asked his opinion to give the matter his
personal attention and stir MP matters at head
quarters in New York.
When the President referred to the Maine
election by saying that he did not think it
would have much effect because Blaine had car
rieu the State by the same majority 1884,
wren tho Democrats won. MIR. Vance replied
that be was heartily glad oft, as it might pos
sioly teach the Democrats not to attempt the
impossible. It would, in his opinion,
De just as sensible for the Re-
pubicsns to try to carry Alabama
and Georgia as for the Democrats 20 try place
Wisconsin and Maine in the Democratic ranks.
Ine result has been," said MIR. Vance, ''that
the wild men Of the party have spent the last
two weeks in blowing about how the Republican
majority would be cut down. The election
comes and the Democras are so deeply showed
under that no Democrat has a word to say"
Mr.. Vance. after telling all he asked TO
tell, tried to get the President to give his opiu-
ion a. to the outlook, and, although avoiding
the question at frat, Mr.. Cleve-
land finally said: ''It would be useless
for any one to attempt 10 disguise
from himself the fact that the outcome of the
coming election is very much in doubt don't
think any one can tell very much about it OF
contss. 1 am in particularly good position TO
judge, If any one is. From all can learn, we
have little the hest of it, but it is such q small
margin that 1t can scarcely be counted on at
all; while am not confident Of the outcome,
yet think We shall win"
When the chief executive, and at the same
time the candidate Of the party, practically con-
fesses the outlook to be so much in doubt, il
will be easy 20 understand how thoroughly the
Democrats here are demoraizsd.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
It Is Found To Be Holy Business, in Which
Ii Is Urged FelOns Should Not Engage.

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-THE delegates to the
Liquor-dealers' National Protective Association
re-assembled in Chickering Hall this morning.
j. NJ Atherton, of Kentucky, and Col. c. Mex.
Loessr. Of New York, were elected president
and vice president of the association for the en-
Iuing year. Resolutions were passed recon-
mending the adoption of just and reasonable
Ia VS. to regulate the traffic, and deploring the
efforts OF some people to prohibit tho traffic en-
tirely. They favored low license, and were
opposed to the concentration of business IN the
hands Of few, as is the result OF high license.
They also recommend .hat no person who had
ever been convicted OF felony should receive
license. They were against arbitrary power
being vested in the excise board, for it would be
surely disabused. Other resolutions deplored
the action OF some State governments 20 raise
too large q revenue from the liquor trade. They
also declared themselves opposed TO alliance with
any political party. A resolution was adopted
directing the secretary to send check for 81 900
to Mayor Hewitt, TO be forwarded to the yellow
lever sufferers at Jacksonville. Cheers followed
the adoption OF this resolution.
The committee on finance presented the fol-
lowing report wnioh was adopted: That mem
bers Of the association in the liquor trade doing
business OF less than $40 900 year be taxed
e25 per annum for the benefit Of the association;
over sl00. 600, $50; 5000 900, $780, $500 000 $780,
bourbon and rye whisky and fruit and rum
brandies be taxed cents Der barrel yearly for
The support of the association. Messrs Miller,
Of Chicago; Atherton, of Kentucky, and Scbade,
Of West Virginia. made addresses defending the
liquor trade. and explaining and opposing the
teachings of the Proh'bitionsts. George Kinny
in an address. said that George Washington and
Andrew Jackson, in their day, were distillers.
He produced proof OF his assertion In book FORM
He said the business was an honest, legitimate
and honorable one

rect and most satisfactory.

Richard A Proctor, the Astron omer, Dies In
New York of Yellow Fever.
NEw YORK. Sept l2-Professor Richard A
Proctor, the astronomer. died at the Willard
Parker hospital, in this city, at 7:l5 this ev en-
ing, from yellow fever. He arrived hero from
Oaklawn, Fla, where he has observatory, on
Monday, and was Immediately prostrared with
the disease which the best physicians
hesitat:ngly pronounced yellow fever. Other
doctors doubted that the disease was yellow
fever, but their doubts were removed when the
patient was seized with the black vomit this
evening aud died from its effects. The profes-
sor had engaged passage for Europe, intending
TO sail next Saturday. His family are stall at
Oaklawn, Fla, where no cases OF yellow fever
have been reported.
Richard Anthony Proctor was born in Chelsea,
England, March %, 1887. He WAS educated at
home until his eleventh year, andthen entered
academy, where he remained three years,
and became head boy Of the institution. After
the death OF his father, IN 1850, the family be-
came embarrassed because of court delays in a
friendly suit, and in 1854 Richard accepted q
clerkship in London bank, dsvoting all bis
spare time to the study of mathematics. In
1855 he entered Kings College London, and in
1856, St Johns College. Cambridge. He took
his degree IN 1860. and was married the same

zine. Two years later he published
minograph on Saturn and early in
1866 his "Gnomopic Star Atlas" and "Hand-
book of the Stars" appeared. In 1866 he was
seriously embarrassed by the failure Of a Lon
don bank In which all his available means were
deposited, and his scientific studies were in con-
sequence somewhat hampered. In 1869 he made
some suggestions TO the Astronomer Royal as to
the best method of observing the transit of
Venus, and his views were approved by a meet
ing of the principal astronomers Of England.
In 1870 Mr.. Proctor published o work entitled
"Otner Worlds than OuIs" which bad an extra
ordinary success, and attracted general atten-
ton in the scientific world. From this time
forth he became the most prolific and popular
writer upon Astronomical subjects of the present
day In 1873 he visited the United States and
delivered lectures, and again in 1875 Later,
bis wife having died, he came again to the
United States and was married to q lady resid-
ing in St. Joseph, No. His books on astronom-
ical topics number score or more, aud are well
known TO all students of the science.
