Harmonious Indiana Democrats, COL, BRIGHT SAYS THEY WILL ELECT M’ Do: ALD SENATOK, AND NOT LOSE A SINGLE CON- GuEsstonaL DISTHICT. A Stak reporter to-day met Col. R. J. Bright, who has been in Indianapolis for some days, Of the political situation in Indiana he sald; “Everything is most encouraging to democrats, All the internal dissensions that amounted to anything have been adjusted, and the party in the state is in splendid spirits. In the Indian- apolis district the convention was again called Logether, und after an organization that satis- fied everybody Mr, Bynum was declared the nominee. That decision was acquiesced in py allof the party, and entire harmony prevails. I attended the state convention, and I can say. that it was in material and morals the best I ever saw, We will carry the legislature by a very large majority, and McDonald will be sent to the United States Senate without material opposition. Throughout the entire state the party is united and in earnest. We will not jose a single congressionai district, —— 00 Will There Be Any More Indian Wars? AN ARMY OFFICER SAYS IT DEPENDS ON THE WHITE MEN. It is believed at the War department that the capture of Geronimo has practically put an end tw Indian hostilities in this country. At pres- ent, atleast, there is noactive hostility through- out the broad wiid west. An army officer, talk- ing with a Star reporterto-day, said that it de nded upon the conduct of the whites, and | ow the Indians were treated by the agents on the agencies, whether there would be any fur- ther trouble: If the Indians were treated prop- erly they would probably all remain quiet. ‘the ¢apture of Geronimo clears Arizona of hostiles. ‘The Indians most liable to give trouble now are the Uncompuhgres, in the mountains of Colo- Tado, and those in the wilds of Washington ter- ritory, These ure not particulariy savage, but they are in regions where it is easy for them to hide away, and they are liable to plunder, One trouble, hie says, is tbat the whites ure too ag- gressive. They try to take advantage of the In- dians and to bully them, No dispatches were received from Gen, Miles this moruing, and nothing can yet be learned as to what will Probably. be done with Geroni- mo and his band, now that they are captured. a Beer New Men tor the Nationals.

The democratic campaign book, some install- ments of which havo already been issued, was received from the printing office yesterday. A few copies are being sent to newspapers, &c.; the others are going to be put on sale at one dollar a copy or eight copies for five dollars. *rhis idea of selling the book is something new, and is made necessary by the shortness of funds.

Therefore, those who want the book for use in their distticts must pay for it, It is very varied in the subjects of which it treats, and has some Very intoresting cainpaign material ip it. It gives a list of “English landlords who own 20,747,000 acres of America’s free soil;” de- voles & chapter to “absentecism,” and claims that Mr, Cleveland’s civil service reform policy has becn advocated by the democratic party since the days of Jefferson, It devotes nineteen closely printed pages to the civil service reform Subject. The coust survey “maladministra- lou” furnishes material ior a long chapter. ‘The former administration of the Pension office Is soverely scored, A chapter is devoted to the democratic international policy, claiming that the demoeratic party is to “inaugurate a new international era in the second century of the Fepublic; and open up new foreign markets.” All the departmgnts and some ot the more Im- portant bureaus “and offices in each are treated of from an entirely partisan standpoint, Ad- ministratic reform, tariff and public matters occupy # greater part of the book witha variety of details, A chapter is devoted to President Cleveland's ‘tight with the Senate, Augther treats of “railroad attorneys in the Senaté.” A. paragraph is devoted to the fishery question, aud unother to the case of Cutting, who was “Liberated by moral torce.” os ____ THE RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS.

A long telegram was to-day ‘sent to the President by democrats of promi- nence advising him that means of shelter should promptly be sent to Charleston, and Suggesting that the vessels‘of the North Atlun- tic squadron be sent there with orders to strip the vessels of all their canvas and turn it over to the people of the stricken city. Also, to place the vessels at the service of women and children so far as they can uccommodate them. A large British vessel, which reached Charles- ton several days ago, surrendered everything aboard to the suffering people. The officers not only gave up every yard of canvas, including the sails, but set’ the hammocks to the city and gave up their state rooms and quarters to women and children, If the tents are not to be had it Is sald that canvas can be used for pro- tection, and the navy is well supplied with can- vas, it was suggested that the President, cut off from newspapers, is not aware ot the actual condition of the people, and the dispatch sent to him fully informs’ him of their deplorable situation, ‘One gentleman Just arrived from Charleston says a heavy rain would be a calamity second only to the eurthquake; that hundreds of women and children are in the parks and streets with only sheets or quilts stretched to screen them from the sun, Secretary Whitney has also been advised by telegraph of the necessity of immediately ex- erting all the powers and facilities of his de- partment for the shelter and protection of the Pe oreta Whitney telegra hed the mayor of retary Whitne; ‘pt of Charleston expressing a desire to do all in his power for the relief of the earthquake sufferers, und stating what available means otf relief in Une way of sail, canvass, &c., there is at the dis- pRosal of the department, Will be forwarded if lesired.
