Dear Sir-In a communication TO the

islature will use my vote and influence TO
secure the nomination of an honest-money
Republican for United States Senator and
to vote for no one on joint ballot except

HANNA WELL PLEASED
HE is NOT WORRIED OVER THE
FACTIONAL FIGHT IN NEW YORK.
Campaign VIII Begin I'm Earnest
When Ex-President Harrison Makes
His Speech on Sept. I.

BOSTON, Aug. 23.-Hon. Mark A. Hanna

terested in the facts given to him.. He
said: LAS n matter of fact. this cam
paign has started itself. The real work does
not begin until the 1st of September. Ex-
President Harrison's speech in Madison
square Garden will be a notable one, and
the speech of Hon. Thomas B. Reed, with
which he opened the campaign in his own
district, was magnificent effort

the factional disputes there, for he recog-

in all great parties factions are matter

Mr.. Hanna thinks that the vote of Yer

does not look for more than the usual Re-
publican majority in the latter State. but
from Vermont he has received informa tion
that leads him TO believe a gain OF least

lessness in the handling of State money

to help your reelection?
why did you borrow $4,000 to 100000 of
Rufus Ramsey. State Treasurer, now de-

any. between the time of the official sealing
of the State Treasury vaults after Ramsey's
death and the opening of the same when a
successor was named?"
Mr.. Foreman cites instances i'm which
Altgeld has borrowed hundreds of thou

JOHN BROWNS DAUGHTER.
One of the Children of the Great Abo-

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-It may not be
krown that a daughter OF John Brown
the great Abolitionist. is still living. and
living, too, in very reduced circumstances
Her case furnishes a parallel to that of
the granddaughter of Francis Scott Kew
In both Instances, philanthropic persons
have busted themselves in raising funds for
monuments and other memorials to the
dead. while the living have been permitted
TO starve. The distressing incident that
followed the dismissal of Miss Key from
the Pension Bureau last fall ought still he
fresh in the memory of every one. John
Browns daughter has been equally unfor-
tunate. She is now living in Petrolia. an
obscure town of California. She is the
oldest OF the three daughters of John
Brown. of Kansas. by his second marriage
and the only known survivor of the party
at Kennedy farm. where John Brown spent
some months before his capture at Har-
pers Ferry She married a man named
Adams and removed to Petrolia from an
other town in California several years ago
The Adams homestead burned down two
months ago and not a thing was saved of
what comprised their all. Mr.. Adams is an
invalid and the family have taken refuge
in an old dismantled mill. which has been

IN HANCOCK COUNTY.
Mere sample of Democratic Lies
and Exaggerations.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENFIELD, Ind. Aug. 23.-The Dem
ocratic campaign liar has given free vent
to his fancy in statements sent to the Sem
tinel from this county. The first report
stated that between forty and fifty Re-
publicans had united with the Silver Club
in Greenfield. The statement was untrue
There were Just two who were Republicans
OF the others mentioned four or five are
what are known as political free lances
and vote first with one party and then
with another. These men have not all
fully made up their minds 10 vote for Bry>
an and Sewall.
The Sentinel contained another report
that seventeen stanch Republicans of Bran
DIVINE township had united with a free
silver club at Cowan's schoolhouse. There
were but twenty-eight Republicans in that
precinct and not single Republican Joined
the free-silver club. Reports We're made a S
TO Wholesale Republican dSaffection over
this county but the reports were base
fabrications There are less than a dozen
men in this county who have heretofore
been considered sound Republicans who are
seriously considering voting for I'ryan and
Sewall This small number is offset by at
least one hundred sound-money Democrats
and the sound-money sentiment is still
growing.
Another weak fabrication was that in the
thirty-seven houses between Greenfield and
Cleveland sixteen miles east. thirty-five of
them had Bryan's picture on exhibition A
true count showed just six BRYAN pictures
up falling off of twenty-eight out of
thirty-five.
These are merely sample of the Senti-
neIs misstatements. The Democratic cam
paign is one of bluff. bluster and brag
and the votes that party is claiming will
not show up.

to HIS Mourning Parents.

BUFFALO. Aug. 23.-The Express to-day
publishes sthe following: Frederick Gordon
Rev. the missing Cornell student who dis
appeared two years ago and was supposed
to have met with foul play at Ithaca, has
been heard from. He is on one of the East
India islands. His parents i'm this city yes
terday received a letter from him. In this
letter young Rev states that on leaving
Cornell he went TO New York. engaged pas
sage on cattle ship and worked his way
TO Bordeaux, France. At that place he Sc
cured employment with an electric firm
that was about to erect an electric plant
in Central America. He sailed from Hon.
duras in the early part of 1885, visiting Ja-
maica. Martinique and Cuba, and then re-
turned to France. where he contracted TO
look after the electric machinery of a tramp
trading ship bound for the East Indies.
The vessel is due at Southampton the lat
ter part of this month. and Rev states that
he will leave the ship there and return
home at once. He has not seen an Ameri-
can paper since his departure and did not
know a search was being made for him

THE NoBLEsvILLE LIE.
Mr.. Evans Is Not a Recent Convert to
the Democratic Party.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NOBLESVILLE. Ind. Aug. 23-The
prominence given 70 Hon. James L. Evans,
of this city, in the columns of the Sentinel
of Saturday was amusing to those who
know his true political attitude during the
past few years. From that article one
might infer that Mr.. Evans was a recent
convert to the Democratic party, when the
fact is he has been quietly ting with
that party for eight years. Openly he has
professed allegiance TO the Republican
party, but secretly he has been giving
laid and comfort to the enemy 1t is gen.
orally known here that he voted for Cleve-
land four years ago, and good authority
says he voted the Democratic ticket eight
years ago. 1t has recently come to light
that four years ago secret Democratic
caucases were held at his own home. and
still he professed to be in the Republican
ranks. Republicans here are of the poinion
that the distinguished ex-Congressman
will do less injury in the open Democratic
camp than he has in the past by his double
dealing.
The statement in the Sentinel that he had
posted in his elevator an offer to pay 40
cents for 1896 wheat if Bryan was elected,
and to- sell 1896 wheat at 90 cents ii Nc
kinley was elected is another one of the
free-coined Democratic lies. No such offer
is printed or posted about the elevator. Mr..
Evans has made such statements and
promises personally, but with no more
backing or assurance of fulfillmept than
did Bynum when he, four years ago. prom
iSed the farmers one dollar for wheat. And
further the firm of which Mr.. Evans is
part is strongly against the silver fallacy.
and would not allow the old gentleman
10 speculate in future" wheat.
Mr.. Evans and a few others. whose po-
litical status in the past has been OF the
unknown variety, are all that are claimed
fv.- l.r-f 4 hA tfT rfxv III n.
scores have decided to vote for Mckinley
who have heretofore been identified with
the Democratic party. Just now the
bosses of the party are trying to arrange
a hybrid county ticket. 1t is TO be COM
posed of DEMOCRATS. Populists. Prohi-
bitionists and renegade Republicans. Au-
gustus +. Shirts, who received 200 votes
for Judge in the Republican primary last
Snring is TO be nominate for Judge.

While 1 am for free silver. I am first, last
and all the time for Bentley and South
gate, the candidates on the National tick
ct. CHARLES n. HAWKINS.
Hawkins stated further that no longer
ago than yesterday he had talk with
Thomas Newton and Thomas Eaton. and
that both of them had said they would not
vote for Bryan under any considerations.
While for free silver, they intended to vote
and work for Bentley.
The rest of the list is made up Of Demo-
Gratis and Populists. Willis Law and his
son, Lewis Law, have always been consid-
cred Democrats, although they may have
voted for a Republican sometimes. Roy
Nading will become of age some time in
September so his father, Simon Nading,
of Hope. says. Roy voted at the Demo-
cratic primary last spring and has always
been considered a Democrat. j. +. Spurlin
was not at home, but his son said that his
father was a Prohibitionist and had the
free-silver craze badly, but he had never
heard him say how he would vote. Jacob
Girton has always been known as Demo-
crat, and if he ever voted for a Republican
ii is not generally known in the township.
Henry Garrard and William Stover are both
PoDulists ana have been for several
years, and as far as can De round out now,
intend TO vote for Bryan.
Thus is every man in the list accounted
for, and the twenty-five who were Repub-
licans and renounced their party to vote
The favorite scheme of the Democratic
politicians of this city this year Is TO take
a Republican from the north end of the
county and tell him how many Republicans
from the south end are going TO vote for
Bryan and then hunt up Republican
from the south end and tel him how many
Republicans from the north section have
left the Republican party to vote for

LOST MINE FOUND.
Propcrty Worth Millions of Dollars
Can Now He Used.

BEAVER MEADOW, Pa. Aug. 23.-By
mere chance Coke Bros. x Co. recover a
property worth millions of dollars and
thousands of miners secure years of en-
ployment. Although the discovery was
made last Sunday, IL was to-day that the
fact was made known. In 1853 the old
Temperance mine at this place was set on
fire by an explosion, and three lives were
lost. The maps were lost and all trace OF
the sramifications OF the opening was lost.
The mine was filled with water and has
since been closed. Many thousands OF dol
lars have been spent in an endeavor 10
md the underground extension without
success Coke ten years ago proposed tun-
nelling the Quakake mountain TO reach IL.
but the project, which would cost millions
was abandoned. Since his death the COM
pany took the matter up. and recently ar
ranged TO carry out the scheme. Mean
time the Cross Creek Coal Company and
Van Wickle * Co were opposite sides
OF the flooded mine. The searching party
carried bore holes ahead OF them 10
avoid a catastrophe. Last Sunday Super
intendent Kudlich directed his men TO put
a hole through the roof of the gangway
To their utter astonishment they ran into
the long-Iost mine after drilling five feet.
The men had 40 run Tor their lives from
the water which has already flooded Bea-
yer Meadow and toleTatne. and the mine
will be cleared In short time The terri
bic risk that has been taken is only now
appreciated but the bright prospects for

LITERATURE FOR VOTERS.
Carlisle's Chicago Speech Circulated
by the Republican Committee.

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The speech OF
Secretary Carlisle before the workingmen
of Chicago last spring, which was regarded
by every as one of the clearest expo
sitions of the disasters which the free
coinage of silver will entail the work
ingman, has been adopted by the Repub-
lcan committee as one of its most popular
campaign documents and is being sent all
over the country by the thousands. II has
recently been put in the hands of German
tranSlators, and a German edition Will be
sent broadcast into the Western and North
western States. where the Germans form a
large proportion of the voting community.
1t is noticeable in the present campaign OF
sound money against silver that. with the
exception of a few party hacks. the Ger
man press, irrespective of former party
affiliations. has come out everywhere for
sound money. and even the Democrats
concede that the overwhelming majority of
Germans will vote for Mckinley and Eo-
bart. 1t is intended to make condensations
of other sound-money speecnes, and trans
late them into German. So far. no at
tempts have been made reach either the
French or the Italian vote by appeals made
TO them In their own language. The Scan
dinavian and Norwegian vote of the North
west has been turned over TO the State
committees in the States where these votes
are a factor. and literature is being pre-
pared for them under the direction of
State committees.

advantage and after he concludes his ad-
