Affection the Catholics of Ireland, who have

introduction of anything which could fairly
be brought in reproach against it. In order
to especially manifest our affection We send
you a number of gifts which are specially
blessed"

Southern Visitors.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 6.-Among nu-
merous visitors upon General Harrison were
Judges Simrall and Vassar, of Mississippi,
who came to talk over the southern situa-
ton. They believe General Harrison will
greatly strengthen the republican party in
the south if he selects the federal officers
from among business men who have the es-
TEEN of their fellow citizens instead of ap-
pointing unpopular and distrusted negroes
and white men, merely because they are re-
publicans. If acceptable men are not avail
able they think that women of jrreproacha-
bic character and business ability should be
appointed. Their interview with the presi-
dent-elect was very satisfactory, and they
believe that his administration will please
the southern people. Like nearly all the
other southern visitors they favor an extra
session of congress and early congressional
investigation into alleged ballot box frauds.

MDIAxApoI1s, IND, January 5.-Senato'
Hiscock of New York had private con1f
ence with the president this afternoon. last
ing nearly three hours. As soon as it was
over the senator proceeded to the depot and
left for the east. To the crowd of reporters
at the depot he said:
Gentlemen, my visit was an uneventful
one, both politically and personally"
The next statesman to visit General Har-
rison was Senator Plumb, of Kansas. His
conference lasted less than an hour.
In an interview Senator Plumb said he
merely stopped over to have q general talk
with the president-elect. He had no special
mission and was not specially invited to
call. He was not pressing any name for
cabinet position; Kans as had no candidate.
All that the people of Kansas wanted was the
privilege to vote for and sustain the repub-
ican party, nothing more. He was in favor
of an extra session of congress, and be-
loved that party and public necessity would
induce President Harrison to call congress
together. He was In favor of q vigorous
and early investigation by congress of the
alleged suppression of the colored vote in
the south. He thought MIR. Blaine would
sit at the head of the new cabinet. As to
the situation in New York state he was not
opinion. He was highly Rratifed with his
visit to the president-elect and predicted an
administration that would sat sly the coun-
try in every respect.
Another came and went. 1t was Moses
w. Field of Michigan. Being attacked by
correspondents he said that he had no doubt
whatever but General K. A. Alger would
comprise one of President Harrison's cabi-
net. He seemed positive on this point and
Blaine would be secretary of state. He re-
garded both of these appointments settled
some time ago.
Then comes q Tennessee man, Hen. w. 3.
Hawkins the late defeated candidate for
governor, spent an hour with General Har-
rison. He said his visit Is
partly political, but largely social. He is
strenuously in favor of an extra session of
congress and a speedy investigation of what
republican voters in tennessee and other
states at the late election. He says that
fraudulent count of the votes in six of the
counties where the black population is larg
est caused his defeat. The county officers,
instead of selecting the election judges and
inspectors from the two parties, appointed
none but democrats and they had their own
way about counting the votes.
"Was there no recourse?" he was asked.
"None that know Of" he replied.
"What the republicans of the >uth par
ticularly want" says Mr.. HI wk ms, land
want it early, is national. election law that
will take presidential and congressional
election machinery entirely out of the bands
of the state legislature" He will not state
for publication what, if any, views General
Harrison expressed on these subjects.

THE PRES BYrERIANS.

They Adjourn Without Uniting the North
ern and >Outhern Churches.
NEW YORK, January 5.-The joint COM
mittee of the Presbyterian church for the
north and south concluded their conference.
1t was announced that nothing definite had
been accomplished. The various discus
sions. said Rev. Mr.. Hoge of Virginia, took
q wider range than was anticipated. The
topics under consideration were of such i'm
portance that after spending several days it
was deemed advisable by the joint commit
tee to adjourn and hold meeting at some

necessary from the fact that some of the
members of the southern committee we're
obliged to return south to meet engage
ments. It was decided to adjourn and hold
