S ——— INDIANA. 4 NLUR-JRANS "' WILLIAMS AT LOGANBPORT—A COEAP DEMAGOGUE AND BITTER COPPERUEAD, From Our Own Correspondent, Looaxsrort, Ind., Sept.2.—This morning I stepped into a barber-shap here, and was waiting my turn to undergo torture by the the tonsorial artist, when, In the tono of one who felt it incumbent upon Blw to say something appro- priats to the occasion, and who felt also that he wan imparting interesting lutelligouce, the man belng Jathered observeds [ allus shave mysell to home. First thing when I git-up in the inorning, without waitin’ to dross, I sct right down in my shirt-tail und goatit. Ieftout the old razor,—I've shaved with it cver slace I had » beapd,—and I set the old lonkin'-gluss o the winder, #o 1 can look out to thu barn and SRE WIAT THE MEN'S DOIN', and I shave away.” And Le croesed his legs on the high stool, and settled himself in the barber-chuir with the most. complalsant alr, while some men at the door gazed at him with wondering admiration, nudged each other, and then laughed fmmod- erately,—ovidently at tho smartness thero was in the old man's stealing o march on his hired men of n morniug by watehing them from the window wldle he shaved {n lils shirt-tail, About timt time I began to wonder what ef- feet thnt specch would have upon tlie grinners, for whose delectation obviogsly it had been made, gnd who sheepishly waited about the dour the while, starlug at him with raping won- derment. When, with an extrd fluurlsh, the Lurber stripped the towel from the neck of his customer, and tho latter rose to put on his col- lar and cont, I also starcd at him. Ile was re- muarkably long; remarkably Jauk, remsrkably ungular, with an awkward, shambling manner; sharp-faced, with high cheok-boues, long, strulght, sharp noee, nnd high, narrow forchead, over which was smoothly brushed his thin, wiry, dark halr, fantly streaked with gray. Outof his deejract, keen eyes shous watchfulness and cuuning; and the habltual expression of hiy face, which was of sole-leather hue, was a cu- rlous blending of shrewdness and simplicity,— 1t might be of uatural ehrewdness, and of sim- plleity so long’ sssumed that it has grown to reem wlmost us natural, When e put on his cont, there was no mistuking him,—1t was the very man I Jud coime here to see,— $UNCLE JIMMY ! WILLIAMI whom I belield fu his full suit of biue-jeans,— not that ho sported at Washingion, but & brand new one gotten-up for the vanvasa; and that ludicrous barber-shop screed, 6 dawned upon me, was part of his campalign. Ou returnfng to the hotel, I found bim the centre of a group of farmers, who eyed him with curfous futerest. Desplte hle awkwardneas and slawness of speech, 1t wus casy to pervelve that his reception of thiem was most adrolt; and that he was practislng with much cunning to secure their votes by inducivg them to belleve that he was oue of themselves, ulthough, i truth, he i :)m u farmer, but o caplitulist und professional o] an, X By-and-by a promiuent politiclan approached, and, touch?) Willlns' elbow, drow him astde fur o privato consultation n‘huu{ something, The alr of Granger-simplivity Willlams had worn at tho barber-shop, and the blunt, honest, farmer stylo that had ‘characterized him, disappoared fn an {nsfant, aa though be lLad droppe und he was at once 8 . COOL, WILY POLITICIAN; and with a few words, apparcatly, he promptly declded the cass submitted 10 bl and dis- missed his {nterlocutor, “This {s Uncle Jimmy,” sald a Jocsl poli- ticlan, sowzing tho opportunity to present o rouged-faced farmer, who carried hls wagon- whip under his ri %and Lo fs wearlng thuse Ideuticul blue-jeans.’ Then, lwkwnnll{; ‘mr— haps malfclously, he added, & Why, I bollove thuy are new.” A l)hl"q.\:lutly rejoiued Willlnms, not for an fostani oft bis guard, “the blue-jeans is vothlng new with me. I've wornit allmy life, But my Wil saya this is the last sult 1'll "liave of them. 8lie says shc won't make another.” Whercut there was a huEh all round; and I wondered whether any of thoss farnncrs noticed that the blue-feans coat was cut and made to fit as only & tatlor could cut and fit §t. Anybody who looked at it tolerably closely might have sworn that a tallor, and a quite fashionable one too, from the little wmatters of Anisl about it, bad bulit that fdentical coat. R Had 1 secn uwo_more of him, I should have sald he was ong of the most dangerous dewma- u magk, , TIIURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1876, fuzuel I ever saw,~hts demngoguism being of hat preclse sort that completely disarms sus- piclon. But, when he eame to speak, It was ap- parent that on the stump he was POUMIDANLE ONLY AGAINST HIMBRLT, JTe didn't make any speech {n fact, becausg he couldn't, Evidently a specch had been prépared for him, for he carrled a pile of manuscript and doturnents, which, with all the titae he has had during the eanvass Lo familiarize himaclf with then, he didn’t know what to do with, and fum- bled-over in niost liclpless fxshion, widle atim- bling and lialting fu_bis effort to speak from them, Nobody who lias ever hicard him will eredit that thefragments of his speeches as pub- lished by various of the Democratle newspapers werg ever oviginated by him., They wore writ- ten for hitn, and Uncle Jimm, nm{ have fried to get them off as writtens but Inevitably he munt hiave fuiled, as he did hers in his effort to et-off some of the anccdotes credited to him u print. His talk was WITHOUT COHRRENCE CT COXSISTENCE, and frresistibly reminded me of ! ublard of the schuo) stutnbling and stuttering through his recitation of something he hndn't half-commit- ted to memory. Itia not the specch that has been printed as his evmpalgn-apeech, but bears ahout such reeemblaace to it ns fndicated. The burden of it i3, that the Democeratic party {3 to be trusted with the Adminlstration, becanse it has eut down the appropriations for carrying on the Government, 'The quality of L inay be gauged from his stateincnt that, as the nppro- priatfons were ent down 830,060,000 at the late seaston, therefore they might hiave been cut o much for ten years past, which would have eaved §300,000,000, and the futereat on that sum, amounting, as he put l%i Lo $150,000,000,— though auy schoollioy cav figure §t out that the interest ot the $20,000,000 ench year cut-ofl woulil have been but $09,000,000, I{mmml of $150,000,000. But he dlil not dwoll fohiz on this tople. flinnllcsuyhu wan f0_unfamilfar with it that, with the documents and figures prepared for his use before him, lie COULDN'T MAKE UBE OF THRM. Then, of course, hie attempted to_discourse on the retrenchment effected by his Committee on Accounts. Ilere he betrayed uo less {gnorance, and, with the facts and fl%lfl‘!:l pn:pnrud forhim in his hands, couldn't and dldn’t give an intelll- gent account, of what the Comimittee had re- trenched. Tnstead, he went back a number of 7 t;cnrn to find fault with abig purchasc of pen- nives, which he Insisted were hardware, and coulin’t he catled statlonery; and, on the sane theory, he would doubtless’ bave 'clussed stecl- pens 48 hardware. But tho ludicrous feature of it was, that he charged tlis lardware ought not to lave been paid_for, because the law allowed the Clerk of the louse s fixed selary and no more; and manifestly Williams' idea'ls, that the hardware was stolén by the Clerk, fnstead of belng for “the use of the Members, Certainly that is the hnflrcaslon he gives-out in his talk about it. is only approach to flucncy was WHEN HE TALKED OF HIMSKLE, aud bonsted that it had remained for him to poke about Into the acconnts of tho House, and save the enonnous amount of 317,000, which Is what he placed it at. The finance question he steered eclear of, In g way that showed that he was not equal to even geiting-oft the cheap the- orics of the Greenbackers. But he arrayed himself with tliem, by boasting that he voted for the repenl of the Kesumption act! The efiect of his specch was apparent. The bundreds of farmers who, ashort thne before, bad been filled with enthusiasnt for “Unele Jimmy? llstencd ut frst in smazement, uml then with UNQUALIFIRD DISQUST. There were dozens of thein who could have made nflultely better speeches off-and; and there were few of them, [ should say, whose knowledee of current politics was not superior to his. But, If there {s anything they demand 88 the Indispensable guallicution of a candidate in Indiana, 1t {s that hie bo an effective stump- orator, Here, more than enywhere clse fn tho country, dogs n politician's etanding with the mass—ore especlally with the furmers, who will ride o half-day to attend mass-mectings— depend upon b3 sueeess upon the stump, Could a cunvass have been wnde of those who begrd him hero to-day, I'd ventire that mucq-nine ont of w nundred would have safd, * He's not the man we want for Governor, thougl, of courae, a8 he's on. the ticket, we will'vote for him,” But, in fact, they ure. aslumed. of i and, (f alt the Demoeratie farmers in Thdiana could fec him on . tho stump, and hear him try to speak, such is the displuy o inakes of Ignor- rance and {neapueity that he would inzyitably run behind bis ticket.
