INDIANAPOLIS, November 81. - The
President-elect this evening rendered
Elijah w. Halford, managing editor of
the Indianapolis Journal, the position of
private secretary. Mr.. Halford is forty
five years of age, and came from England
when child with his parents, who set
tied in Cincinnati. He began his news
paper career as reporter on the In
dianapolis Journal twenty-five years ago
and rose in few years through successive
promotions to the managing editorship.
He was for time managing editor Of
the Chicago Inter- Ocean, in it's first years.
Returning to indianapolis he resumed
the managing editorship of the Journal.
He was for few years private secretary
to the late Senator Morton. He has long
taken an active and prominent part in
Indiana politics, and was a delegate to
the late Chicago Convention, represent
ing Indiana on the Committee on
Platform, and shares with Hon. VIM.
| Mckinley, of Ohio, the distinction
of having contributed no inconsiderable
share in the construction of the National
platform upon which the late campaign
was fought and won. AS an editorial
writer he is widely known for his able
and incisive political articles, the pun
gency of his style giving his writings a
distinctiveness leaving no doubt on the
readers mind as to their authorship.
For several years past Halford has
been on intimate and confidential
terms with General Harrison and his
selection for the important position now
rendered him therefore occasions.no sur
prise here. The new private secretary
is married and has one child, a daughter
Of II. He is the elder brother of A. J.
Halford, of the Washington Bureau Of
the Associated Press.

forenoon session. 1t contained nothing
of importance.
Mrs. /. M. Barry introduced a resolu-
tion to place the General Assem- bly, on
record as being in favor of compulsory
education and looking to the adoption OF
measures for agitation on the question.
She further desired a decision by the
local assemblies, which should be re-
duced to printing on blanks, to be used
by the Legislative Committee in attempt
ing to bring about the desired end.
T. B. Barry is still in the city. He
will begin active operations on the
stump for his new order with lecture
in this city Saturday night, and will fol-
low it up by an address in Cincinnati
Saturday night. To an Associated Press
correspondent, concerning the latest
ction of the Convention, he said: "By
the action Of the General Assembly in
conferring upon the General Master
Workman the autocratic powers Of the
Gear, the goal of Powderly's ambition
has been reached. 1t remains to be seen
whether the people who hold member
ship in the Knights of Labor will quietly
submit to the action taken by their rep
resentatives in handing over to the Czar
of their own creation the rights and priv
ileges of their own American manhood.
1t is no longer an organization of free
men, but one that invites voluntary serv.
itude on the part of its mem mbers."

Woman,s Suffrage Association.

CINCINNATI, November 21.-In the
Woman's Suffrage Association meeting
to-day the Committee on Credentials re-
ported fifty-three delegates present from
nine States and the District OF Columbia.
The annual report showed that over one
thousand newspapers had accepted the
offer made year ago to supply suffrage
news. Great quantities of tracts and
leaflets bearing upon the subject had also
been distributed. The report closed
with rejoicing at the great and visible
growth of public sentiment everywhere
in favor of this reform. Reports of an
encouraging nature from several States
were made.
A resolution was adopted to petition
the State Legislature to grant the women
Of the State municipal suffrage and to
petition Congress to submit constitu-
tional amendment to enfranchise women
also resolution condemning the recent
decision on Woman's suffrage by the Su-
pfeme Court of Wyoming Territory as
unsound in law and without foundation
in Justice.

AN oBFUsTIcATED Republican paper is
OF the opinion that nothing can spoil its
party of Great Moral Ideas. On second
thought we think that paper is right.
This second thought arises from the ex-
perience of the Third Ward caucus last
night. Moral ideas were so re bust they
smashed all the furniture in the city
courtroom. Intelligence manifested its
presence by wild war whoops
which would have done honor
to a lot OF Apache braves.
Decency made itself felt in the utter
contempt Of ell the proprieties which so
triumphantly prevailed. The moral gen.
tleman who cut such figure in reform
ing the police office-with trumped.up
lies-was there. What part his morality
cut in the affair is not evident. And by
the way where was the reformed police
force, and its reformed head while this
disgraceful row was in progress?

Two Lessons of the Election.

Among the most significant things in
the recent Presidential election Is the
vote of the manufacturing districts. The
election is supposed to have turned on
the tariff agitation. The point made by
the Republican party was a false one,
that the changes proposed in the schedule
by the Mills bill would unfavorably affect
the manufacturers and thus eventually
reduce wages. That this point was false
is we'll established by the viow taken of it
by those best informed and most deeply in
terested. In New Jersey, Connecticut and
Rhode Island, all most intimately inter-
ested in the effect the tariff has on man.
ufactures, the people by their votes seem
to approve OF the Democratic position.
But in the country districts OF New York
and in the West, the farmers and others
not 50 intimately Interested in the matter
seem to disapprove Of it. The reason for
this ia plain. The manufacturing popu-
lation lives in towns. Among it's
members there is done a great
deal Of reading of the public
prints, and great deal of discussion on
all public matters goes On. In the coun-
try, the farmer does little reading and
less talking. The farmer changes his
views slowly, the artisan and factory
hand change theirs more quickly. But
the farmer finds out his error and re-.
forms his opinions in time. There is
another fact about this discussion which
while it seems at first sight anoma-
lous, on second thought seems natural
enough. In the Republican party many
OF the most intelligent and thoughtful
men at once gave in their adherence to
Mr.. Cleveland's views and became ad-
vocates OF the doctrine of reducing taxa
ton to the requirements Of the govern
mental expenses. In this category were
college professors, statisticans, news
paper editors and others of high in.
tellectual status. They are people
not directly interested in the tariff
but then they are well informed on
economic subjects. They are in q con-
dition Of mind to judge Of, the truth OF
Istatements and Of the weight of argu-
ments. They are men whose opinions
are fruitful and prevail in the long run.

rive views, neither does he propagate
them. The journalist, teacher or phil
osopher who quickly learns what is
being said, always has something
to say in return. He re-
ceives impressions and then gives them
back. He is all the time influencing the
thought of the world. Even to the far
away and lonely farmer up in the remote
country districts of st. Lawrence county,
New York, his thoughts will slowly pene-
trate, and they will at last gain lodgment
in the slow and stubborn mental soil of
his Uranium and bear fruit.

 SARATOGA STRINGS, July 10.-Saratoga hotels are beginning to get quite lively. Guests are continually arriving from all parts of the country. On the 11th inst. the Grand Union had 70 guests, United States hotel had A, Congress Hall 166, the Walden 60, Continental 25, American 42, Adelphi 22, and many others at the smaller hotels and boarding houses. J. c. Gallagher and sife of New Haven have been at Congress Hall. At Waverly hotel New Haven is represented by J. W. White, G. Woodward and W. E. Porter. At Temple Grove, Miss K. E Scranton. At Columbian hotel, D. Billings and wife; L. A1ger at Rawson house. Among the large number on the hotel records for August from New Haven are to be found the names of Deacon Lewis Fitch and family, Hon. James Gallagher, MT. and Mrs. W. A. Beers, N.

One of Saratoga'f enterprising merchants is doing thriving business in selling Harrison and Morton silk handkerchiefs. We presume later the re6 cotton bandanna sale will begin. But mos people this way seem to think the silk hand kerchiefs are good enough for them. The famous Dr. s. H. Burchard and family art at the Grand Union hotel.
