OUR political neighbors are not SO
much interested now to know whom our
party will put up in the local campaign.
They are rather p~rc-occupied with the

A TRUST is a conspiracy to rob the con-
sumner. No trust, no falsely increased
price. No increase, no trust. Once a
trust has cornered its commodity, robbery
begins at every cent over the prevailing
price before the corner. Yet Mr.. Blaine
says that trusts are private enterprises
with which the people have no concern.

Clerk Appellate Court Fl
DIscharged for POLITICAL Reasons.

Robert Gray has been the engineer at the
Female Rsformatory for sixteen years. He has
been faithful, attentive and a hard. worker, and
has served without the assistance Of a fireman.
He has lost very little time in the whole sixteen
years. He was discharged last week for political
reasons. "When Harrison was frat nominated"
said he, yesterday. II put his picture in my
window and said l would vote for him. He has
always been a good friend Of mine and my fam
lily. My f~ather-in-law, John Kirkwood, came to
indianapolis thirty-thres years ago, and got off
at the depot and applied for work to some men
who were standing upon the platform. One OF
them, q tanner, offered him a dollar a day to go
to work In his tsnnery, but Benjamin. Harrison,
who was then quite a young man and was present,
get him q better job. He took my father-in-law
to a railroad Office and got him q good job at
S1.50 u day on the railroad. and he was soon
making better wages than that. I've heard
him tell IL q hundred times, and he said If he
had not met Mr. Harrison when be did he don't
know what would have become of him. 1 tell
you he swore by Benjamin Harrison up to the
time he died, and 1 intend to vote for him. The
Democrats have been around me all summer to
get me to vote for Cleveland and last week I
was discharged to make room for . Democrat.
I've been looking for it all along, and knew ]
would get it soon If / did not 20 over to Cleve-
land. I've done my work we'll, and only missed
n few days in sixteen years, ard then because
OF sickness; and the work has been hard; and
now, when they have got tie natural gas and the
labor is somewhat easier, they have dropped
me, and for nothing else than my politics. It's
pretty hard but I'll have TO stand it."

The Jewett-Matson Row.

Later reports concerning the recent Jewett-
Matson row at the Democratic State central
committee headquarters in this city seem to jus
tify present precautions taken by the Democrat
10 candidate for Governor Of this State, to keep
himself at a respectable distance from the thick
headed but bellieerent chairman Of tho Demo
cratic hosts. As frst stated. the chair
mans cause Of offsnse to the head Of tho
Democratic State ticket Was q verbal
castigasion administered jointly to the latter
and Senator Voorhees,, for presuming to stick
their noees into affairs under Mr.. Jewetts con-
troll, aud an explicit direction to both Of them to

vention Of Q trust. Fuller advicss from
the seat of war are to the effect that
Colonel Matson was even more visor-
ously msulsd by the irats chairman than was
at first stated. and that for presumine to inter-
fere while the chairman Was delivering Q lect-
ure on morality to Mr.. Voorhees,. he was taken
by the nape of the neck end used a. . mop on
the floor OF the committee-rooms. If these
statements are correct Colonel Matsou should
at once remove his quarters to q still greater
distance than now intervenes between his
apartments and those of Mr.. Jswett. aud Mr..

Congressman from the Erie district, and hereto
fore has been one OF the most prominent Demo-
Gratis in New York State.
''In Buffalo, Cleveland is very unpopular. He
is not respected there, even by the leaders of his
party. The workingmen are coming over to
General Harrison and protection by the hum
dreds. His grand speeches have made for him
thousands of votes all over the country. We
do not recognize Cleveland as a citizen Of
Buffalo. He cannot vote there; in fact, he has
been disfranchised. He owns no property there,
and If the voters the country over knew as much
about him as we do ia Buffalo, / do not believe
that he could carry a single Northern State. In
the Buffalo factories theimen are nearly all for
Harrison"
Mr.. Murray has been travelling through
Michigan and said that the Republicans had
not the least fears of losing the State.
