INDIANA AND NEW YORK.

The Republicans Give Up tho Ono But

Boston Correspondence u the New York Eycn.s :.
Post
4 member Of the Republican State com.
mittce Of Indiana has been Converting
rather openly with one Of his friends, aud
what he said has come 10 me no directly
that II seems worthy OF belief Not only
did he speak Of the situation in his own
state, but he talked also Of the national
outlook, and especially OF New York,
for on his present visit TO tho
metropolis, lac went. Of course, 10
the national committee and was taken
into their confidence. In the first place,
ho said that the Republicans have given
up the expectation Of carrying Indiana.
Harrison will carry the full Republican
vote, according 20 the information which
they get, but will losc the labor vote, which
will lose the State 10 him. Tho laboring
men do not like him, and they are enough
to settle the issue As for the other west
ern States the Republicans arc not nj all
disturbed by the Democratic talk Of car
rying any Of them. They count upon
10000 majority In Michigan, and have no
fears whatever for any other state re-
BE- hopeful.
From the inside Of the Republican ma
tional committee Il Is stated that they
think that New Jersey will 20 Democratic
and Connecticut Republican. The whole
effort Of the Republicans Is 10 be spent
on New York. The plan Of the
managers Is 10 make a split In the Dem
ocratic party, by hook or crook. Their
hope is In getting tho Democrats TO quar-
rcling among themselves, and thus 10
carry the State for Harrison. II Is part
OF their scheme 10 persuade the Cleveland
men that llill is trading of the President,
and 20 convince the Hill men that the
Cleveland men arc knitting the Governor.
By thcsc tactics they hope to set the party
30 by the ears that they will fall out y.
yond any reconciliation. The Republicans
admit that this Is their game. aud say that
they have Democratic help IN H. That ii

II Is hoped at the national hcadquaricn
that they will bo able 10 get Harrison
there TO mako public speech, and Il i
the talk OF getting him there which u
doubtless nj tho bottom OF the plan 10 81

That DR.. Morrow, Of Nashville, Never

NEW YORK, Oct, Q, 1883

NEW YORK, oct. ., lSSS
To the Editor OF Tho Appeal.
SIR notice in the last issue OF the
State IVheol and Blade, October 5, an article
upon the contest now going on in Ten
nessee between Gen. Atkins and Senator
Harris that is so unjust in its tenor aud re-
fleets so outrageously upon the honor and
integrity of the former that / cannot for
bear to brand it as an unqualified false,
hood. The article in question bears the
title OF the "AIilk in the Cocoanut," and
after quoting an article taken from the
Chicago Necs, furnished by It's Washing
ton correspondent, which charges that
Gen. Atkins is backed in his canvass by
money said to be furnished by VIM. Nor
row, whom, the article says, was given
contract for carrying supplies to Indians
by Atkins, and which calls for the con-
slant use OF 675 teams and is one
OF the best things that has outliyed
the ''sta route days." SAYS: at has long
been known that Morrow was ringster
and political jobber and huckster, and we
thought the ground OF his opposition to
Senator Harris was based on the fact thnt
Harris has always opposed rings and poll q
cal combinations. But this bit OF inlorma-
ton accounts more readily for the milk ia
the cocoanut. IL is not only the voice Of
the peniteutiary ring but il is the handi-
work OF one of Gen. Atkins servants also"
Gen. Atkins isso well known, no. only in
his own State, but throughout the whole
country, for his answering integrity and
honesty, that he needs no champion. His
constant condemnation OF rings and jobs
is the best answer TO the implied charge in
the foregoing article, and were there any
shadow OF truth in the statement of the
Chicago Mars that Gen. Atkins had given
such a contract TO Morrow, would not re-
fleet upon lis uprightness OF character on
dotruct from his popularity
The statement, which IL simply absurd,
was countless made by some one who had
nothing better to write about, or else in.

ington friends for the purpose OF injurina

Tic facts are, however, that Mr. Morrow
has no contract for carrying supplies "a

A JUVENILE REFORAATORY

nOog1 Times
TIE AppEAL, for twenty years, has been
urging the establishment Of juvenile re.
formatory, not only for tho State, but for
Shelby county. The recruitment Of tho
ranks OF the criminal classes, in our cities
especially, is due to the fact that we have
no rcformatories for the retaining OF re-
fractory youths who are the victims OF
UNIV hoNclS, VI toliulbhS "'''Ni"ti'''
and want Of homo training. With such a
school available, the sending of little Dan
Jordan TO the peni;ontiary would have
been impossible. But in the absence OF it
the court had no option. The law
is plain and explicit, and must
be obeyed. A good citizen OF
Nashville, who is still perhaps a
city Judge there has, we believe, school
of the sort desired in operation. Though
ballled in his purpose 10 enlist the State
in his charitable enterprise, he might be
induced again to take up the matter, and
with the aid Of the people OF town aud
country, induce the next Legislature to
establish juvenile r,iormatories in this city
and at Nashville and Chattanooga. The
growth of these cities and Of the larger
towns makes such legislation imperative.
