f { —— INDIANA. Sketch of a Republican Meeting. RED THE OMNIPRESENT COLOR. Contrast Between Ben Harrison and Blue Jeaas. RUMORS OF THE PARTY ORGANS. —_+—___—_ Frarxuin, Ind, Sept. 30, 1876. A large republican demonstration took place here to-day, aywhich General Ben Harrison, candidate tor Governor against ‘*Biue Jeans’’ Williams, was present. ‘The town was filled with country peopie early in the morning, the women wearing invariably somo bit of red about their persons, to symbolize the bloody shirt principle upon which the campaiga is conducted, Some wore shawls that were entirely red, or barred ‘with red, and red ribbons fluttered on every side. Tho men who took part in the procession wore blood red shirts, with cuffs and collars of blue. The whole at- mosphere of the towa bad an ensanguined look. The eye was pained physically and morally by the all-pervad- tng color, embiematic, as in this instance, of hatred of the Souch, In every republican procession I have seen red shirts play the most conspicuous part, They are the uniform of the ‘Hayes and Wheeler Guards,” while the other side, less sanguinary, adopt white and blue as their distia- guishing colors. It is very astonishing what an amount of idle time these Western people have, They are as fond of holidays as the Spaniards or Italians, except that their festal occasions are political and the others are religious. The procession started about noon and was of the usual character in this country—very het. erogeneous, There were immense wagon loads of young girls dressed in white, sometimes singing glees or formed in tableaux. There were A HUNDRED LADIES ON HORSEBACK, sach attended by her cavalier, and thero were farmers with their families in dirty eld wagons, who added no beauty to the procession, but eimply helped to swell its dimensions. There was a schoolhouse on wheels, with a schoolmarm fustigating ber unruly pu- pills, and 8 log cabin out of compliment to General Harrison, whose grandfather bad a similar @evice in his great political campaign of 1840, There ‘was a detachment of cavairy, the horses being of every age and size, and there was a long string of buggies, with three or four cheerful persons inside of each. The Godaess of Liberty had a truck to herself, and Several other godi 8 Of living flesh and dlood were Grouped to illustrate some idea that only themselves were aware of. The long procession took an hour and a halfto passa given point, The democratic one of the previous Saturday took two hours and a quarter. This difference in magnitude was a source of great joy to the democrats of the town. It is the size and not the quality of a procession that is looked to in the West. However good the display, if it lack length and Bumbers, it 1s disparaged. One political procession ts precisely like anothor, Wehave little genius for the business, and the model for one year is the model for wwery other. The democrats on every single occasion im this campaign where tho parties were at all equally yalanced have beaten the republicans in the matter of wracessions, This 1s because the republicans, as a rule, fre a more sensible class of peoplo. and rely less upon empty show and giitter. The democrats are not as in- telligens, and their feciings find expression more in Boise and circus shows. By the way, tho affair to-day was a strong reminder of a circus exhibition just be- fore the tent performance. It bad all that gaudy gran- ur through which the ridiculous and uncouth are al- ‘ways appearing, the man in armor having holes in his Stockings and the man in courtly costume being many days removed trom the operations of a barber. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TAE CANDIDATES. General Harrison, from the balcony ofa house facing the square, reviewed the procession. He appeared, on tloser inspection than what I gave hinf last, tobe a man of the Down East type—a cool, calculating Yankee, not easily moved by popular demonstrations, but capable ef working himself into an imment show of fervor at & political crisis, Between him and Blue Jeans there is a very marked difference, Blue Jeans is aman ‘without any pretension to fashion or style; the otner fs one with much pretension to both, Blue Jeans Williams would never think that it was necessary to set about bis day's work with his hair parted in the middie and his beard trimmea like @ row of tree box; the other emerges trom his toilet with the appearance of one who had used con- tiderabiy the hairbrush and tho oil bottle, Harri- son drdsves in Broadway fashion; Williams in “blue jeans.” Harrison is a smart lawyer, to whom Goy- nor Hendricks gave the best part of his practice. Will- Jams isan honest cld farmer, who has earned every vent he owns by the sweat of his brow. The one has & considerable pedigree (President Harrison) to fail back upon; the oiher has nothing but the toilsome la- bors of bis hands to exhibit. Harrison is a cold, re- sorved, chicken-broth order of man. Williams is an Open, warm-hearted, hornv-handed farmer, with broad acres to which he can point as the result of long years of pationt struggling with nature. The former speaks as the lawyer and uses polished phrases; the latter speaks as the farmer and his homely lan- Buage goes straight home to the hearts of the people. The one waves the bloody shirt and asks his hearers to keep up tho bitter feeiing of the North against the South; the other preaches the Christly doctrine of “peace on earth, to men good will.’? Harrison over- lows with self-importance and thinks the fate of the Union depends upon nis election; Williams is as hum- vi he is homely and believes the post of honor is ihe private station, Harrison might attend a reception m Fifth avenue, so chill and fauitiess is his tyle; Williams could never get beyond Third averue, Harrison might be engaged to conduct the litigation of B rajiroad in thé Supreme Court; Williams, if he were & lawyer, could only hope to be employed in a case of Assault and battery in tho Special Sessions. Harrison is sallow and colorless enough to suggest that he never felt the glow of a warm humanity in his breast; Will- fams, in bis red and rugged face, and in his kindly eye, gives the impression of a sympathetic and cordial Bature, AFTER THE PROCESSION. When the protession was over everybody went to din Bd at two o'clock there was speaking in the grove. General Harrison made along speech before a farge and attentive audience. Ho spoke upon Pretty much the usual topics, dwelling especially upon the enormity moditated by the democratic Con- gress ol paying the rebel claims, Ali around the square Picketed, The day was bright but cool, and the ap- pearance of the audience, to some extent composed of ladies, was very picturesque, the red shawls making a splendid foil to tho black coats of the men. Dr. iar- wes made a good speech, full of fun, that took im- mensely with the audience. Harrison has no more fun tm him than a dried-up meerscbaum pipe. Ip the fvening a torchlight procession of imposing Yength was formed, and it conducted General larrison to the train that took him to (indianapolis, Prominént among the gentiemen pres- nt was Mr."Edward wcPherson, former clerk of the jouse of Representatives.

The joint discussion between Vance and Settle yes- terday, at Smithfield, the shire town of Johnston county, was attended by nearly 3,000 persons, mostly white. The rival nominees for Lieutenant Governor were also present, and participatea in the debate. Vance entered the village, as at other points, accom- pauied dy a brass band and «# long cavalcade of horse- men. Notwithstanding the nearly equal political di- vision of the crowd and the eager enthusiasm of the adherents of the competing candidates entire good order prevailed, Settie' h a profound Im- pression. This is the most thorough canvass of the State ever made and the first joint one since the war. A TILDEN AND HENDRICKS BANNER. Wituisxatow, N. C., Oct. 4, 1876.

St. Louis Republican :—“The republican organs as- sert that Charlos Francis Adams is not a democrat. So much the more creditable is it to the domocrats who nominated him. Can the republicans point toa prominent candidate nominated by themselves who is not a republican ?” Bufalo Courier :—“The general opinion is that tho party which sueceeds in electing its Presidential ticket will also control the next House.” Albany Journal :—“The Tilden reformers’ havo as- sessed the democratic office-holders in the city of New York the snag little sum of $100,000 to send to In- diana,’? Boston Post :—“ ‘1 will bet $50 that Hayes carries Ohio in Octover,’ said Bob Ingersoll, &% ho stepped down from a stump in Cleveland the other night, His money was covered at ouce.”” Olio State Jowrnal:—“Private tntormation from New York is of the most encouraging character, and conveys the most emphatic assurances that the State wili go republican in November if Ohio does in Octo- ber.” St. Louis Times:—“As long ago as 1868 Grant said, ‘Let us have peace.’ After the 7th of November next wo wili have it.”? . Cincinnati Garette:—“In this centennial year the issues involved in the Vallandigham contest are again presented, and now again doubts are expressed as to the result, The democrats, who have nothing to los but everything to gain, are claiming a victory, as they did in 1863, and republican leaders aro feartul of the result, as they were then.” Louisville Courier Journal:—We do not believe the story that colored voters of Kentucky are now lying | flat upon their backs on the dissecting tables of North- estern inedical colleges, with half a dozen cold- biovded students hacking away with keen, glittering | knives at their quivermmg flesh, Jaughing, as the repul- sive work goes on, at the shrewd trick of enticing the cplorea voters over into Indiana under the pretence of giving them §1 50.4 day and all expenses paid." Utica (N. ¥.) Herald:—While Mr. Hawley (in Hart- tord the other night) was being escorted to the place of meeting at Now Britain, the night before, by the Boys in Blue, the procession was stoned by @ democratic mob, The recollection of the outrage gave to General Hawley’s speech at Hartford all the spirit a just indig- nation could arouse tn the breast of a soldier.” Springtleld Aepudlican:—“They have some queer ames in Soath Carolina, Here is one of the Charie ton papers coutaining an account of a great popular outpouring at Lower Hell Hole Swamp.

Expectations of the Leaders in ths Several Districts. REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC VIEWS. What Is Thought of the Candi- dates’ Chances. As indicated in yesterday’s Hunatp, the objective point of popular sentiment at present is, ‘‘Who sball win’? in the coming campaign? Local issues are naturally of primary interest, and so wo give the ro- sult of our reporter’s investigations among local mag- nates, A ramble among the republican statesmen by 3 HERALD reporter elicited the following items of views expressed by them on the impending political conflict. In every instance the representives of the various dis- tricts agree on the unanimity existing in their ranks, and the strenuous efforts mado by their various a: Ciations, not only to keep their numbers up to a full standard, but to induce accessions from new made Voters of young men coming of age or newly-natural- ized citizens. Mr. Jobn J. O’Brien, of the Eighth Assembiy ¢is- trict, says that the district organization, of which Mr. Lanthier is president, is in a very flourishing con- dition, The territory of this distriet is not as large many others, but contains a populatioa of 73,000. Governor Tilden carried this district in 1874 by 2,200 majority, and it is proposed and expected that this majority will be materially reduced, At least four- filths of the inhabitants are Germaas, and a good portion of this olement enters into the campaign im- bued with republican principles. Considerable will depend upon the combinations to be made on the local “icket, as the nature of the nominations will sway many people here trom party aililiations, For in- stance, in the event of Comptroller Green belng notm- inated for Mayor aud indorsed by the republicans, tho aistrict would, doubtless, give a good ropublican ma jority... Mr. Gilbert J. Hunter, one of the loaders in the Ninth Assembly district and president of the Repud- lican Association, was next seen, and, being the most influential public man in bis district, although not an office-holder, his opinions possess considerabio weight, Mr. Hunter represents his district as fully and thor- oughly organized and the members very enthusiastic His district usually gives a republican majority. Nearly every night meetings are beld by the ditferent campaign clubs, and the “Boys in Blue” are severa, companies strong. One great feature of the organization is a club of young mon of ‘‘first Presidential voters,” numbering already 400 members. This is composed of young men who are entitled to their first vote for Presiaens at the ensuing election, Considerable activity exists in this district on account of the death of the lute Senator Booth, and the vacancy to be filled this fall has tended to bring many candidates {nto the fleld, Among those mentioned for the place are ex-Senator Abram Lent, Assemblymen Andrew J. Campbell, Dr. Isaac I, Hayes, Rovers S, Strahan, Gilbert J. Hunter, Sheridan Shook and ex-Commissioner of Public Works George M. Van Nort. Colone! Knox McAiee, presi- dent of the Eleventh Assembly District Republican As- sociation, stated that the “grasshopper” district, the name applied to this Assembly territory, 1@ us sound as it could be desired. Nightly meetings are being held at the various headquarters, where most extraordinary large assemblages attend. For the evening of the 6th inst a monster mass meeting and banner raising bas been arranged to take place on Eighth avenue, near Twenty-erzhth street, at which 4 number of the best speakers will appear. ‘As this isa thorough republican district Colonel McAtee not only expects the full vote of previous years, bu good increase. Mr. ‘Joseph Archbold, of the Twelfth district, re- solid organization enthusiastic in the cause of o nd Wheeter and Morgan and Rogers, Tye Ger- man element predomioates iu this district, but a good share of them are repubiicons, A pumber of fine van- ners have been displayed in the uistrict, lt ts ex- pected not only to poll the voto of 1872, but Fee in- crease, provided a county ticket which will satisty tho Germans 18 put in nomination, Three companics of “Boys in Blue” have been organized and equipped in this district. In the’ Thirteenth Assembly district, according to the statement of ex-Police Commissioner Hugh Gard- ner, everything politically looks as well as could possibly be expected. Never betore has thera been so much unanl s? and harmony among repubheans as there is now. A iarge number of liverals residents of hig district have jomed with the regular forces, and are now as onthusiastic forthe national and State tickets as they were in 1872 for Horace Greeley. This district boasi# of several caimpaign ciubs, who hold nightly meetings, and the Enrghnent aud Nataraliza- tion committees are as busy as they can possibly be. The Fifteenth Assembiy district ts famous, from having had two celebrated geatiemen in the Legizia- ture during the past two sessions—tn 1874 and 1875— Thomas Costigan, of Churter celebrity, and startin P. Kiiban, ot *“No-Seat-No-Fare’’ notoriety, It is in- tensely democratic, Yet Mr. Henry G. Leask, Prosi- dent of the Républican Association, reports his organi- zation Os being in # flourishing condition. Several hundred new members. have been added to the mem- bership, and horculean efforts are being made for victorious eampaigo. In every one of the twenty- ven election districts campaign clubs have been started, and all of them are doing good work, Nigutly meetings, With speakers on the rostrum, are tho regular order, Ex-United States Appraiser Generai Paimer, Who has veeo a shining light amoung the liv- erals, has been domg good solid Work in this district, Th re spiendidly organized, ana have held some brijlant mass meetings, The work they expect todo ut the polls ou the 7th prox., Mr. Leask thinks, will have a teling effect.

Fernando Wood expects . and the Jocal opposition to him will materially belp the republican cause. Nightly mectings are hold in this district to discusa the leading topics Of the canvass, Major George W.

Nicholas Muller, Assemblyman from the First dis- trict, ts a Warm supporter of Mr, Tilden. “1 am con- ident,” said he, “that the democrats will sweep the country. 1 know that before the St. Louis Convention many democrats from this city © not well disposed to Mr, Tilden as a candidate, but I have failed to come ‘Any democrat since’ hig nomination who de- ainst him, So far as 1 kuow, he will be heartily supported in my district by Ta many and anti Tammany people alike.

Dr. William Shine, ex-Deputy Coroner, and aresiaent of the First ward, was found by the H&raLp reporter offering to bet $50 that Indiana would go democratic next Tuesday, but he tound no takers. When asked to give his views on local politres Mr. Shine said he had great {aith in the propesed union of the Tammany acd anti-Tammany forces, In his opinion the union was a necessity, if the democrats of New York wished to curry the State, ‘1 believe,’? said be, “that John Kelly wants io unite both factions, and in doing 80 he will do us a real service, I think the union is proposed by our leaders im good faith, and I expect to gee it tully consummated. — lt we do unite, the democrats will sweep the city with a largely increased majority on the State ticket," When asked about the Assembly and Congressional nominations Mr. Shiny said he was in favor of Colonel M ©. Murphy for Assembly, be- cause Mr, Murphy had been a member betore, had done good service and was highly respected by all who knew him. As ‘or his opponent, Mr. Burns, the Doo- tor did not believe be could be elected, for the reason that he was not known enough by voters, As to the Congressional nomination Dr, Shino was heartily in Javor of Edward Hogan, for the reason that he bad reat strength in the district, as was proved by is antagonism to Tammany in bygone days. Mr. Hogan had always shown himself to be earnest and honest in the discharge of his ofticial duties as Police Justice, and the democrats could not send a better man to Congress. GOVERNOR TILDEN AND THE RING. INTERESTING FACTS TOUCHING THE TAMMANY RING PROSECUTION—WHAT JOHN FOLEY KNOWS ALOUT IT.

The Prospects of a Union with Anti- Tammany “Very Fair.” “PRIENDLY ENOUGH” WITH MORRISSEY. He Never Enjoyed Social Intimacy with the Other John, __ “WOULD YOU LIKE TO Bf A POLITICIAN’? ” —_—_—-—_—— What the Emperor Alexander 1s to St. Petersburg, what Lows Napoleon was to Paris, what Francis Joseph is to Vienna, what William is to Berlin, that King Kelly was to New York before the Herat defeated him, and still attempts tobe. Ho does not surround himself with the pomp and circuinstance of royalty, beause he is naturally a plain man, He prefers ham and eggs for breakiast to woodcock on toast, and in- stead of driving down in his six-in-hand, as bis royal brother of Vienna does when making his afternoon excursion to the Prater, King Kelly pre! to take the Taird avenue streot car and ride down trom his modest little house in Lexington avenue to the scene of his political triumphs at Tammany Hall, But the best place to see our King of Gotnam is at his office, No. 117 Nassau street, If you desire to know what is the tute of a New York politician, what it is to be run down by oilic:-seekers, large and small; red-nosed and pale-lipped, jocuud and serious, guine and de- spondent; politicians with beautiful bright shirt fronts, ornamented with buge talse diamonds, and others with decorations of tobacco juico—if you want to sco what itis tobe smothered by Aldermen, Judges, As- semblymen, ex-Police Justices, would-be policemen, \d politicians’ third cousias’ nephews, all anxious for “only a small place” under Augustus Schell’s prospec. tive municipal régime, you cannot do better than to visit this office, Nowhere, perhaps, can you obtain a better idea of the inner workings, of the true inward- ness of New York city politics, tha at thisoilice, You can see ata ginoce that the great motive power which propels the machinery of city politics—like soe huge Corliss engine—is office, plunder, lucre, All these men who crowd Kelly's villce ure patriots; they all want office, they all want to be ted at tho pubic crib. Keliy himseli, from this point of view, certainly occupies a more commendable position than his horde ol greody followers, He at least does not seek ollice now. Hv sainks he subserves the puvlic good—hne may be mistaken—but he undoubtedly thinks so. He serves now without pay. Many a fat office bas been open to him since he bas been Sheri, but he has spurned thom all, and made Mayors and Sherif and County Clorks, proterring himself (0 stand behind whe scenes ty }be tn the fleld ti Fy and makerhis puppets dance at his pleasure, THR POLITICAL MECCA DESCRINED. The office is a decidedly uingy, suabby place, It is on the third floor, at the end ol & labyrinthino corridor, and consists of two badly lighted, ii ventilaied, stuily rooms, the anteroom being always crowded with ex- outaut visitors aod the back room reserved for Mr. Ke iy’s private use. On Monday morning there must have been at least tifty men packed in the aviervom when the writer called, 1t was a protty serious task to elbow your way through, for politicians are a sensi- tive class of people, and if, in your burry, you happea to troad on some one’s too it is quite likely thas he may “‘smuck you in the snoot,” to use bis own choice Vernacular, or that be may, i he be loss beiligerently disposed, tercely warn you “to walk off on your eur.’? Luckily, however,: by dint of bard pushing and driv- ing, the writer succeedod in cutting open an uveoue through the throng and boldiy piunged into the inner sanctum. Whata bright change it was tocome from the bungry crowd of lean, gaunt office-seckers to the “fat, round, well fed, prim, Jauniy figure of King Kelly; to come from those anxous, haggard faces into this jolly, sutisfied countenance, radiant of raro roast beef; irom thowe threadbare, taded clothes to the King’s comfortable and neat attire, which sat on him as 1008e as though he had told the royal tailor to Jeave plenty of room, for stil: Jurther expausion! BEGINNING THE INTERVIEW. A Judge, an Alderman, a candidate tor Police Justice, and several others whose political status is not so well known 1o the writer, made a plunge for the dour atthe same tine the writer opeved it, King Kelly suavely waved them all off with aemile and 4 mouon of bis powerful hand. “Fl sce you ma minute,” he suid to them all, and they all sank back in august rev- nce. ‘he writer was the only person favored with an im- mediate interview. A cordial exchange of salutations followed, us tho two had nov seen each other for near!; a year. The writer enxiously scanned King Kelly's 1a to gee if tho bad deteat he received at tho bands of the Herat bad lessened bis luxuriant physique. Such, however, was not the tact. “fhe first person | have come toseo in New York is you, Mr. Kelly,” tho writer said. “I wanted to ask _You wnat you think of the condition of city politica generally.” “[ am surel can’t give you much information,” King Keily replied, smiling at an angle of torty-tivo 6 gol enougt into shape yet.” 18 the prospect of a union of the contending Tammany aod anti-lammany Losts ?”” THR PROSIRCTS OF UNION.

King Kelly read it sailed aud said, “All right, 1°! see him in a minute.” KB DORKS NOT LIKE THE HERALD, Then hi ddeniy turned to the writer and, like the flash oi a revelation, tho thought came across him that this might be an ‘‘interview,’’ and he said, Sharply, “Look here, I won’t be interviewed for the Heratp.”” “And why not, Mr. Kolly ?’” Mr. Kelty's Loaming countenance changed as quickly as do the colors icon and ussumed an ex- pression of deep-seated disgust. ‘Because | aon’t ike the Hukaup!” ue ejaculated, deeisivery. *-Wail you be interviewed for mer”? Mr. Kéily laughed and said, ‘No, not oven tor you, my boy.” Knowing that this reluctance to appear in print was bat the modesty of the statesman and not the patural aversion of the man—ior is it not the priviieg duty of every American citizen to bo in- serviewed Y—the writer proceeded with his task. “Do you think (hat only one democratic ticket will tui”? T thin he responded, evidently determined to to confine nimsell 10 mouosytiable: “What are Green's clances for the Mayoralty ?"? “Ob, Green’s a bumbug.
