That Is the Prediction Made at the Indian
 apoIis Ratification Meeting.
 Indianapolis Ind, July 1s.-The Indi- ana democrats held a ratification meet ing tonight, which was presided over by Governor Matthews. There were about 2000 people in attendance and Governor Matthews was given an ovation when he was introduced by Chairman Holt of the state central committee. Holt had been gold democrat. but declared from the platform that they were all democrats and bowed to the majority. Governor Matthews said in part:
 q assure you there is no room for feelings of regret, discomfort or dissatis- faction. The platform adopted and the ticket selected are both good, and to both I give and will continue to give my. cheerful allegiance and most earnest support.
 Speaking of the character of the con- vention he said: "It was not a gather ing of anarchists, traitors, repudiators or sectionalists. as our republican friends in the frenzy of fear proclaim, but coming together of patriots alarmed for the welfare of their coun- try; of honest, earnest men, animated by great cause, and of American citizens cherishing their rights and liberties. de- termined to maintain them It is this year supremeIy the peoples fight, their struggle against the most miserable and debasing enslavement that can be con- ceived by man.
 "In spite of the nearly solid opposition of the metropolitan press of the entire country, notwithstanding the ungrateful crusade against 1t by certain hired men, protesting to be democrats aye, even | claiming to be democratic leaders. but in truth Hessians in the camp, in spite of the crowds of alarmists or sordid appeals of avarice and greed, the great country has grown, and will continue to grow.
 Senator Turpie and w. R. Myers, ex- secretary of state, also spoke The lat ter was one of the leaders of the gold fac ton. He had. he explained. changed his views to agree with the majority. In the course of his speech he declared tha. they would send Matthews to the senate for the next six years, saying nothing about Voorhees,.

English Expedition Going Out 10 Find Tt
 in the Atlantic.
 New York Press.
 We have had in the past five years a recrudescence of Columbus, of Napoleon and things Napoleonic; now it appears, there may be an infiction. of Robinson Crusoe. A learned society of London, England, has come to the conclusion that readers of De Foes charming fiction have all along been mislead as to the island on which their hero was landed when he experienced shipWreck.
 It has been hitherto assumed, much to De Foes discredit, that he stole Cor "ap- <propriated) the story of one Alexander Selkirk, who passed several years on the island of Juan Fernandez, in the Pacific ocean. But members of this society de- clare they have discovered that the nov elist did not steal his narrative at all, and, moreover, that the island where the original Robinson was wrecked lies not in the Pacific, but in the Atlantic They are going to send out an expedition next winter, as soon as the sickly season closes, to ascertain beyond all peradven- ture just where the island is located.
 In the interest of all true narratives (of fiction) and for the benefit of all lovers of CruSoe, it is to be hoped that their mis- sion will be a success.
 The true island, they say, is situated somewhere off the north coast of South America, not far distant from the mouth of the Orinoco for Crusoe himself says in his journal that the last recorded ob- servation, taken just before his ship wreck. was in latitude Il degrees north, between the islands of Barbados and Trinidad.

Near Chelau, Washington, a cave is
said to have been discovered filed with
solid silver. The gentleman who dis
covered it will not mine the same, but
keep it intact for the benefit of geolO-
gists, for scientific research, and for
tourists and sightseerS. We presume
the reason for his not mining the claim
is the fear that it may destroy the com
mercial ratio of silver with gold and
put the white metal on an exact parity
with copper.
