Lats rams Te St HOW GOES INDIANA? The State Doubtful, with the Odds Somewhat in Favor of the Democrats. Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR. Ispranapouis, Oct. 31.—Which party will ec Indiana? That is the question of the poral It is much more easily asked than answered, if the man who undertakes to give the answer has any regard for the truth. The campaign managers of both parties claim the state, but that means nothing. It is important in the policy of campaign management that the workers should be encouraged by the leaders lieve that there is victory ahead, and wh they regard defeat as certain they predict success with well assumed sincerity. It is so this year. Conse- quently the information that campaign managers furnish is altogether unreliable. It may be said for them, however, that they do not always intentionally mislead. They are often deceived themselves, I happen to know that Col. John C. New, the most astute of Hoosier politicians, sincerely believed in 1834 that Blaine’s plurality in Indiana would not be below 10,000. He expected even more. But somehow the situation changed in the last | days, and the democratic plurality was over 6,000. Politics in Indiana is decidedly kaleid- oscopic. Mr. John Oakhurst’s definition of luck fits it precisely—the only thing about it that we know to be certain is that it changes. And I am telling the only thing that is defi- nitely and certainly known about the situation when I say that it is changing now. From the time of Harrison's nomination at Chicago up toten days agothe driftof the campaign was decidedly favorable to the re- publicans, There were two classes of voters from which large gains were made—the soldiers and the Irish citizens. A few were influenced by the hurrah over Harrison. The advocacy of protection has caused many democrats to join the republican party, but there are more -reform republicans in Indiana than there are protection democrats. Indorsement of local option has not helped the party, for the prohibitioniste are more aggressive than ever fore, and they will increase their vote. Fol- lowing the drift in the other direction, it is found to be largely from the laboring class, and it safe to estimate that fully 75 per cent of the workingmen—such as are connected with the industrial organizations— will vote the democratic ticket. The rest of “the drift” to the democratic party is made up largely of tariff reformers and grateful pen- sioners who have been impressed with the idea that democratic officers have procured their rewards for them. Over 10,000 new pensioners in Indiana have been placed on the the pay rolls during Cleveland's administration. Many of them who have been allowed pensions since the campaign have found written across their Papers “I congratulate you upon the allowance of your pension. C.C. Matson,” Mr. Matson is the democratic candidate for governor, and this sort of thing has greatly helped him. So much for the surface indications. And now for the figures. Possibly there are 8,000 democratic ex-sol 3 who will vote for Harrison. Certainly there are not more than that number. If there are 1,500 Irish demo- crats who will vote the republican ticket, there are more of them than can be reasonably ex- pected, and there is no reason to believe that outside of the two classes mentioned, there are 2,000 democrats who will vote the republican ticket on account of the protec- tion doctrine of the party. It is estimated that there are 60,000 young men in the state who will vote this year for the first time. The pres- ident of the Lincoln League says that he thinks 40,000 of them are republicans. As the figures stand, taking into the calculations the fact that a democratic plurality of 6,531 four years ago must be overcome, the republicans are about 10,000 ahead. That, I believe, is about what they claim, too. On the other hand, the democrats are sure to gain from 2,000 to 5,000 votes from workingmen and probably as many more from tariff reform republicans. If they (cm ten x cent. of the voters that ve been allowed pensions by the administra- tion, 1,000 must be put down to their credit. It is expected by the managers of both parties that the prohibition vote will be about 10,000. If it should be that mp! it will be equivalent toa democratic gain of at least 3,000. Demo- crate strongly maintain that the first votes are about equally divided between the two parties. If the claims of the republicans are discounted one-third, which seems to be about fair, 3.300 more may be placed in the democratic column. Now, how do the figures stand? Takin; the ‘minimum estimate on workingmen an tariff reformers, the total of democratic gains is 11,300, leaving ma over the republi- can estimate of 1,300. Five days ago the last democratic poll, made with the greatest possi- ble care, showed a plurality for the party of 2,000, It is doubtless Jone enough now why both parties are confident of success, and why the state is doubtful. At this time the odds seem to be on side of the democrats. They have the ply of money. If they are suc~ cessful in capturing the fl vote, various- ly estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000, their plurality may be very large. They are sure to get more than their share. ———EE THE PARNELL INQUIRY. Capt. O’Shea Testifies that Parnell Said He Had the Power to Stop Outrages. Lonpow, Oct. $1.—The Parnell Commission resumed its investigation to-day. Attorney- General Webster, for the Times, asked leave to interpose Capt. O’Shea as a witness. O'Shea testified that he had been on good terms with Mr. Parnell until June, 1886. At Mr. Parnell’s request in June, 1881, he had com- municated with Mr. Gladstone. The commu- nications were made without the knowledge of Mr. Parnell’s colle: The negotiations then ceased until 1882, when Mr, Parnell and Mr. Dillon were in Kilmainham jail. The first pr witness made to the government in 1882 were offered ‘WITHOUT THE AUTHORITY OF MB. PARNELL. He received communications from certain members of the goverment replying to the pro- posals, When Mr. Parnell was released from Kilmainham witness told him of the position of the negotiations. He had _ written to Mr. Gladstone, and it was arranged that any answer that he might make should be sent to Mr, Parnell at Paris. Mr. Gladstone's reply was sent to Mr. Parnell, who responded in April, 1882. Air Parnell, on returni from Paris, saw Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Parnell under- took to do his utmest for the suppression of boy- cotting and out es. He promises that if the government would settle the arrears-of-rent question satisfactorily, he would advise tenants to pay their rents, and nounce outrages, resistance to the law, and kinds of intimidation. Witness asked Mr. Parnell if he was sure he was able to carry out his arantee to suppress out and Mr. Parnell gave him assurance that ° hed the power. ————>—_—_ California Opinions.

Sax Fraxcisco, Oct. 31.—Commenting edi- torially on the action taken by the President im having Lord Sackville informed that his presence is no longer acceptable to our Gov- ernment the Examiner (dem.) says: “Presi- dent Cleveland has taken manly, straight- forward course that is ‘s natural to him.

After A GOOD DAY. Interesting Sport at Ivy City To-day. BIG POOLS ON THE FIRST TWO RACES—BRAIT AND VOSBURG WINNERS—SPLENDID ATTENDA¥CE AND FINE TRACK. It would have been impossible to select a brighter, pleasanter day for racing than to-day. The weather was warmer than yesterday, and consequently spectators were not compelled to & time the reporter learned from the Secretary | be on the move continually to keep comfort- that there was “nothing new” in connection | with the Lord Sackville affair. The reporter then undertook to ascertain what course the British minister will pursue in taking his leave; whether there is any restriction placed upon his move- ments or not. The information was that Lord Sackville is now regarded as an individual by the State Department, and that he is at liberty to regulate his own movements, He can re- main in Washington indefinitely, but he is, in an official sense, no more than the humblest man who walks the streets. He is not nor will he be recognized in any sort of official capacity. ‘There is something in the nature of a legend about the Department that the custom once prevailed of bi a dis- graced minister away without ceremony, but it is admitted that such practice, if it ever really existed has fallen into innocuous desuetude. At all events the best authorities in the Depart- ment in regard to diplomatic no tops concede that Minister West can consult his own_pleas- ure and convenience as to leaving. For all diplomatic negotiations the official of the lega- tion next in rank to the minister will now be recognized. NO COPY OF THE LETTER TO MINISTER WEST TO BE OBTAINED. Tue Star reporter endeavored to obtain a copy of the letter sent by Secretary Bayard to Minister West notifying him of his summary dismissal, but it was refused. Secretary Bayard ' holds that it was in the nature of a rivate communication and that he is not at liberty to make it public. With regard to the published letter gly ee to be acopy of the one transmitted to Lor: Sackville, Tue Sra reporter was assured that it was not genuine. “It is not,” said a State Department official, “a copy of the letter. That letter has not been given to anybody from this Department, and, apparently, it has not been given out by Lord Sackville, for that alleged copy published is al- together wrong.” AN AMERICAN LADY AS MISTRESS OF THE BRITISH LEGATION. Within about two weeks an American lady will be the mistress of the British legation at Washington. This is an interesting and curious outcome of the Lord Sackville controversy. There is now _no British minister at Washington. That office became vacant on the notification of Lord Sackville that the President would have no further official com- munication with him. This does not leave the British government unrepresented here. The attaches of the legation are not the minister’s personal staff, and his dis- missal or recall does not affect their position. The secretary next in rank to the minister at once becomes acting minister, and all official communications are through him. Mr. Edwardes, the first secretary of the British | legation, is now absent and is not expected to return for some time. Mr. ‘ichael Herbert, recently made second secretary, will become acting minister until Lord Sack- ville’s successor is appointed, or until Mr. Edwardes’ return. Mr. Herbertrecently arrived Leila Wilson, of New York. ‘The bride will thus become the head of the legation house- hold in this city as long as Mr. Herbert is act- ing minister, LORD SACKVILLE’S INTENTIONS. There was naturally much speculation to- day as to the probable course of Lord Sack- ville, the British minister, in the present em- barrassing state of affairs. It was thought the immediate departure from Washington, but a gentleman in a position to know told a Star Lord Sackville would be in any hurry to leave here. He said: “I have not seen the minister my- self, but a friend of mine who talked with him last night was told that he did not contem- plate an immediate departure. miliation that has come him. He is .not crushed, however, but indig- nant at what he regards as the unfair manner, to put it mildly, in which he has been treated. and if he were to speak his mind freely to move the unpleasantness now existing between America and England. I don’t think it at all probable Lord Sackville will leave here before election. He will wait to receive in- structions from his government, and diplo- matic affairs always move slowly. except when | their movement is accelerated bj decisive action as that taken by the President yesterday.” THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY AT THE LEGATION BUILDING. At the British minister's residence perfect silence is maintained on tne subject of the President’s action. Lord Suckville refused to to see anyone to-dayand those present said merely that the minister had learned from experience not to talk, and that all was uncertainty as to his departure from Washington. in this country does not, of course, retire him from the diplomatic service of his country. What his position will be at home will depend chiefly upon his influence there and the dispo- Bition of the British toward this Government. He has been for forty-three years in the di- plomatic service of his country, and may be retired, but such retirement would, in be his disgrace. If the — British rovernment determines to sustain him will receive an __ appointment of equal rank to the one he retires from. He might be promoted to a higher mission. This would be regarded as intended to re- buke the action of this country. However, there is nothing in the mere retire- ment of Lord Sackville that should in itself disturb the friendly relations in this country. We are at perfect liberty to refuse to have communication with a foreign minister without such re- fusal being construed into an unfriendly act towards the nation he represents The new British minister will have it in his power to establish most cordial relations, if he is a man of tact.

A Star reporter met Representative Wood- burn, of Nevada, this morning. He is just from New Jersey, where he has been on the stump, and will leave for New York to-night to talk to the Irish. He*is believed to have a strong influence over the Irish-Americans. His controversy with Mr. Cox on the floor of the House last winter was one of the sensa- tional occurrences of the session. His attack upon the Administration, as being in sympa- thy with England, was probably the most sav- age made during the long tariff debate, and it has been widely circulated among the Irish- Americans by the republican national com- mittee. REPRESENTATIVE WOODBURN ON THE SACKVILLE EPISODE. ‘Tee Sra reporter asked him this morning for his views on the Lord!Sackville letter. He said the letter could not fail to cause Mr. Cleve- land the loss of some Irish votes, and he did not see how the dismissal of Minister West would save them. “The fact is,” he said, “Lord Sackville mere- ly voiced the sentiments of the British govern- ment people. He had no business to do so, and has been punished for it, but that does not effect the fact that the British do desire Mr. Cleveland's re-election. I do not see why Minister West's letter should pave caused any surprise except at his being so indiscrete as to write it. There was nv new disclosure in the ex- pea policy. Every ng] and Scotlan: advocates the Fee lection of Mr. Cleveland. a. make no attempt to conceal their preference for him, and their desire for some one in the White House who will carry out the poliey he has laid down. There is not a paper in the kingdom that has a good word to say for the republican 3. The fact is that THE ENGLISH ARE FOR CLEVELAND; they will stick to him; he cannot shake them His treatment of Lord Sackville will not offend them. I do not see what he can do un- less he gets an Te feces to knock some very pa Englishman down, at the White louse, between now and next Tuesday. The British are friends who are always with him.” THE SPECULATIONS AS TO THE DOUBTFUL STATES. Speaking of New Jersey, Mr. Woodburn said that if he were going to bét he would bet that that state would go democratic, but at the same time he could not tell. He felt that the repub- licans there were in very good shape. As to New York, he would bet that it would go for Harrison. ‘‘Now here’s an odd thing,” he said. “If you offer to bet with the democrats in New York on their own state they will say that they would rather bet on Indiana. Now I don't see where they get their information, and can’t tell why they should prefer to bet on Indiana.” He said that he. would bet on Michigan and | California going for Harrison. He had no fear for either. As to his own state, Nevada, he said it was a doubtful state, but he thought it would ES its three electoral votes for Harrison. ine carried the state in °84, and four years before it was carried for Hancock. This year, Mr, Woodburn said, the democrats would have had a sure thing of it but for prosecutions be- ing conducted by the Land Office for cutting scrub timber. REPRESENTATIVE RYAN DOES NOT THINK THE PRESIDENT'S ACTION WILL INFLUENCE VOTES. Representative Ryan, of Kansas, said to a Star reporter: “Ido not think the President's action will influence many voters, because he couldn’t do anything else. In my opinion the entire affair has been exaggerated. No doubt the British minister's letter had some effect | upon voters. It is easy to understand that aman | who was wavering on the tariff question might decide that English interest in the pending elec- tion was sprompted by a desire to control our mar- kets, and that he would not vote to subserve that interest. But such voters as were influ- enced dhe consideration will not be changed by the President's action. I can see how intel- ligent men would be thusinfluenced. But, as L have said, the effect has no doubt been exag- gerated.” DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT. The action of the President in summarily no- tifying Lord Sackville that he would no longer be recognized as the English minister here is a source of hearty exultation among democrats, The President's party friends maintain that he has turned the affair to great political account, and that his notice to the ‘itish minister makes sure the support of the Irish-American A Srar reporter was imformed to-day by a rominent democrat that the President was ispleased with Secretary Bayard’s first view opinion of the conduct of the Englih mii ister. “There has not been any wavering said this democrat, “on the part of the Presi- dent. He was indignant from the outset, and he delayed peremptory action only in’ ob- servance of certain customs that prevail in the conservatism of diplomatic circles. I can tell you, too, that the President was very emphatic in expressing his sae to Secretary Bayard. President Cleveland is a positive man inevery- thing. He never plays fast and loose.” OPINION OF EX-REPRESENTATIVE ELLIS, Ex-Congressman Ellis, of Louisiana, who has an extensive law practice that brings him in contact with people of all sections of the coun- try, said to a Star reporter: “The republicans layed for the Irish vote and they have lost it. | Knay gave President Cleveland an opportu- nity and as he always does he improved it. It is more tham probable that the Prisident | has increased the hostility of naturalized Eng- lishmen, and he will no doubt lose some votes from that class; but there is no doubt of the | attitude and action of the Irish Americans.” In conclusion, Mr. Ellis intimated that the re- | eS managers have lost an important | ic!

KILLED BY A CAB. the Sackville Sensation on/ Mrs. Annie McCarty Knocked Down Fatally and Injured. THE QUESTION DEMOCRATS ARE CoNsIDERING—| Mrs. Annie McCarty, aged fifty-five years, who WILL TRE PRESIDENT'S acTioN covnTERact | lived at No. 438 9th street southwest, was THE EFFECT OF THE WEST LETTER—was sxo- | knocked down and fatally injured about 7:30 RETARY BAYARD ALSO TRAPPED? The question with the democrats now is whether or not the President's vigorous action | in dismissing the British minister will counter- act the political effect of the Lord Sackville letter. They think it will, and hope that it | may do even more; that it will cast discredit upon all the talk about the Administration be- ing under British influences. The most con- servative look upon the whole business as most unfortunate, both from a partisan and a national standpoint. Looking at it as partisans they will not cease to regret that Secretary Bayard was so slow to comprehend the gravity of Lord Sackville’s offense. The final announcement that Lord Sackville has been notified by this | Government rather than by his own that it would be best for him to take his departure is | a great relief to the democratic managers. | Second only to their fear of the political effect of the letter itself was their apprehension lest | the British government should promptly take sides with the Administration and degrade Lord Sackville for endangering Mr. Cleveland's tion. For the British government to promptly recalled their blundering diplomat might have sati the wounded dignity of the country, but it would not have gone far toward relieving Mr. Cleveland's position. His opponents would in all probability have at once charged that the British were ready even to discredit their own representative to serve the democratic party. LORD SALISBURY'S COURSE. The fact of Lord Salisbury appearing to sns- tain Lord Sackville, by ignoring the very broad intimation from Mr. Bayard that his recall party somewhat by giving an opportunity for ‘essive action. A great many democrats feel that there was some pretty bad blundering in the first instance, and they are especially lad to get outof the tangle so gracefully. he British government may take offense at the action, but if so it will put even a better face on the political side of it. Still, if there had been no election pending, it is pretty gen- erally felt that national self-respect would have demanded the same resentment of a similar attempt at meddling in our affairs. The dem- ocrats congratulate themselves that the only dignified and proper thing tobe done was at the same time the most politic. The danger all along was that anything they might do in the matter might result in putting them in even a worse position than at first. DID SECRETARY BAYARD FALL INTO A SNARE? It is a matter of remark now that Mr. Bayard was just as cleverly trapped as was Minister West. The letter to which the minister's was a reply was withheld from publication until after the answer had been published and commented on, The reply looks very different when stand- ing alone, from what it does when read in con- nection with the one that called it forth. Read alone it might well at first glance be taken for a letter sent in confidence to a friend; especi- ally as it bears the mark “private.” In this way it was published for the express Purpose, some believe, of calling forth some mild ex- pression upon jt by Mr. Bayard, so that when the two letters should be read together it would appear that the Secretary had failed of the proper feeling im the matter. This scheme was entirely successful in getting a declaration from Mr. Bayard that the Department could not notice a private letter, and also in having the gravity of the minister's offense ignored by the democratic press generally. Then when “Mr. Murchison’s” letter, the reply, and Mr. Bayard’s interview appeared printed together, it put quite A DIFFERENT ASPECT UPON THE CASE and made it necessary for Mr. Bayard to change his attidue as he best could. The Mur- chison letter showed beyond dispute that it was written to the British minister in his official capacity, and therefore that the reply must necessarily be official. It is generally conceded now that such a letter, written even in a private capacity, would be a violation of propriety, but when placed in an official light the gravity of the offense could not be overlooked.
