It is alleged that there {3 a goce deal of discord among the Indiana demo cratic leaders, and that with a view to patch up a truce Senator Barnum has made several ua- successful trips to Indianapolis. On the other hand, the democrats are even more confldent. They count largely on the fact tuat Indiana 13 a democratic state, and with the bulze the Maine election has given the cause tt 1s hardly In the renge cf probabliity that the state will slip away from her democratic moorings. As to Olio, there is also a deal of democratic confi- dence, Leaders like Thurman, Thompson and Hurd have encouraged the hope that Obio can be carried for the democracy if an energe' canvass 1s made. In New Hampshire the democrats do not abandon hope. If Indiana goes democratic in Cetoder, it 1s sald that Frank Jones, the demo- cratic nominee for governor, will put his money in the campaign and make a vigorous fight; otherwise, he will not. Cart.

The Maine Election, PLAISTED STILL ANEAD. A dispatch sent last night, and received this morning by the democratic congressional cam- palgn committee, from Augusta, 1s as follows : “T can only reiterate my previous statements, Augusta has just celebrated Platsted’s election by the grandest demonstration ever seen hera. The Asscciated Press agent will probably con- ¢rde his (Plaisted’s) election within two days.

W. W. Morse.” The Alleged Wlegal Mail Matter. WHAT POSTMASTER AINGER SAYS, In the City Post OMice department there is a ton or mere of campaign lterature sent to be Tealled by the democratic congressional cam- paign committee. It !s held by Postmaster Ainger on the ground that the law has been and is still being violated by the committee. ‘The first suspicion which was awakened that the mails were being used In violation of law Was the return of a package of democratic itterature from, Newton, Obio. The packige Was unclaimed aud was returned to the office from which it was originally sent. It was under the frank of Senator Wilkiuson Call, of Florida. This package was filled with democratic speeches delivered on the stump. The liv provides that any speech or excerpt actually delivered in Congress or any report submitted to Congress is entided to free transit In the mall, Notasingle documert, however, in toe returned unclafined package Was of this class, the pestal authorities sa Last night, the democratic committee sent ten large bags of documents to be mailed to Onto ard Indiana. ‘This matter was franked by Sen- aior Call, Congressmen Poindexter, Duna, Wal- ter, A. Wood and W. Miller, of N.Y. Some the bags were broken nia handling, aad each was found m hich had no rhyitt be sent in the & ree. For instance, e: tacts from the democratic campatgn text. were found, also a large Lumber of cop! a 5) 0's of €x-Sepator Trumbuil’s speect elivered at Kelleville, Ti; quiie a number of pam phiets reviewing “General Gartield’s credit mobiver record, etc, ete. none of which are entitled ‘to a’ copgresstonal frank Wthin the past two weeks, Postmaster Alicer says ten tons of documents have be shipped by the democratic cominittee, and his belief fs that a great deal of the matter raalled hed no business to be tranked as free matter. lie is now consulting the law as to what should be done, and meanwhile holds the mafl which has accumulated since his discoveries. Colonel Alnger says the republican committee 15 not guiliy of the same offense, as all matter noi clearly mailable free is sent by that commities by express. ‘The following from the Indianapolis Evening Nes iscited a8 contirming the charges of Post- master Ainger: “Saturday morning the de:n0- cratic state central committee received, under the frank of Senator MeDonald, 3,600 coples of that part of the Congressional Record that con- tained the speech of Lyman Trumbuil, delivered at Belleville. 1il., August 30th, 18S, “The mat- ‘ter will be distributed as 1t was received.” Annexed is a fuller statement of the unmati- abie matter. “The speeches of Gen. B. F. But- ler and Albert F. Palmer, delivered ata Han- cock and English meeting in Fanteul hall, Bos- ton;” a pamphlet entitled “Garfield Tries to Legislate Gen. Hancock out of Office;” a docu- ment entitled “No. 14.0n the Electoral Com- mission;” a speech delivereg by Senator Wal- lace at Norristown, Pa., unde! Real Issue—Unionism vs. Secttonalisi pamphlet entitled “History of a Carpet. Government.” Also, one entitled “Common Sense; “The Civil Record of Major General Hancock during His Administration in Louts- jana and Texas,” a pamphlet entitled “Gar- field denounced by the Republicans of His Own District;” one entitled “Willful and Wicked Waste;” others called *“The Great Steal,” “Mas- sachusetts and Khode Island—Disertmination Against Foreign-born Citizens,” “Democrat: Economy and Republican extravagance.” WHAT IS SAID AT THE COMMITI#E ROOMS. ‘The officers and empioy¢3 of the democratic congressional committ demy that they have abused the franking privilege. Tae clerks who uf up and send out documents say they have d instructions to use the utmost care to pre vent anything being sent by frank except doc. umnts that come under the law. Gen nal Walker, secretary of the committee, sald that in putting up from fifty to one hundred bags full of express matter and large quantities of documents to be stamped that a package of one or the other may have occasionally got mixed with the frankable documents, but it this had cecurred it was entirely acclienta ; that In sending out such enormois quantities of printed matter it would be almost linpossible to avoid mistakes sometimes. He sald he had been careful to comply with the law governtug the franking privilege, and had given rigid in- tructions to his employes on the subject. Tae Stak reporter was shown large piles of 4 ments putup for distribution. The matter to be sent out by express, that to b> stamped for the mail, and that entitled to the frank were | each In a separate pile, but it was easy to s2e that in putting it into canvas bags a package or twe might get mixed with those to which they did not Bey belong. Gen. Walker did not consider the charge against the committ»: worth replying to, as, he maintained, it was only intended for a little campaign effect. Political Notes, Advices received here from the Memphl3, Tennessee, Congressional district, state that there ts no doubt of the return ef Casey Young to Congress, the republicans in that district having split er up two candidates—W, R. Moore and T. A. Hamilton. Aud now Neal Dow, the prohibittonist candi- date for President, claims that the pronibition- ists of Maine defeated the republican guberna torial ticket because of Une treachery of Davis to the temperance cruse Mr, Blaine winks he can be spared lonz enough from Maire to makea few speeches, and he has consented to speak In Patladelphta Sept. 25. Gen, Simen Cameron postrively declines ali nera{nations for Congress in Pennsylvania, and Says that under no circumstances will he ‘con- seht to enter public life again. Democrats are growing more confident every day, and quite a number of small bets, none of them above $100, have been made within a da: or to, on three thousand to five thousand ma- jority for Landers. Betting proves nothing, ut it merely goes to show how money talks, and money is a very keen political observer a3 arule.—Indiana Cor, N.Y. Herald. General Ewing has been taken fll in Artzona With malarial fever, and his doctor has ordered, him to southern California for the beneft of sea alr, and interdicted all business and poil- Ucs. He will not be able, therefore, to reach the east in time to take part ta the campaign pricr to the October election, A shrewd observer and independent who wil! vote for Garfield thus sums up the situation: Itis possible the democrats may throw away the advantagé the Maine election gives then— but if they do not, 1 would not give sixpence tor Garfleld’s chances, which ten days ago I thought were the best.

C. Woodworth, of Chicapee. “It is a bad precedent to recognize as agreenbackera man who would attempt to strike Wendell Phillips’ name trom tie ticket. There were rumors of a compromise abroad, but after the glorious news from Maine, it should encourage us to co on and refuse to unite witb any other organization.

He read the remarks of Dwight Foster, at Faneuil hall, Gn Saturday night, to the effect that if the United States could not compete with the Cai. nese, let them go to the wall. The reading received with derision and hisses. Mr. Litchman said: “If we are not willing to Hye on rice and puppies, let us go the wall” Te then referred to his Own private record, saying that ‘twas strange that those who had criticised his position did not also criticise the record of the central committee. ———_»—__ A Letter from m.
