Dr. Houghton overtook the Governor and conversed briefly with him about the assault. The governor proceeded to the capitol, He alluded only causually about the matter to attaches of hia office. In the police court Boone pleaded not guilty and asked two days to_prepare his case, as he wanted to telegraph to Judge Boardman Smith of the supreme court to defend him. The case ‘was putdown for Wednesday. Boone was seek- ing pardon for his brother-iu-law,who was son- tenced to two years at Auburn for shooting into a crowd, embled near his house on hal- loween night, and seriously injuring a boy.

His im- pression was that the prosecuting officers of the county wera unfavorablo to the pardon, and if s0 he could not grant it, unless they saw fit from further reflection, to modify their statements as no pardons were granted in op- position to local authoritios, Boono, at this, demanded immediate avawer, yes or nc, and sald to Cleveland if the district attorney had roported against the pardon he would slap his face, and if not he would como bask and slap vornor’s fuce, In a fow days Boone raplcd the goveraor that tho district at torney hud saved him o faco slapping by ac- knowledging that Cleveland’s_statement was true.

WAYNE, October 20,—About 2:40 the train arrived at Fort Wayne, There was a large crowd at the depot, and along the route to the Avelin house to which Blaine was driven, The streets in front of the hotel and court house equare, opposite and adjac nt stroets wero filled with a dense maes of humanity. When Blaine appeared on the balcony, he was loudly cheered. But from one portion of the crowd, including a number of men wearing tall white haits, there came cheers for Cleveland and when Bluine attempted to speak he was interrupted by shouts and yells and cheers for Cleveland coming from the same quarter, Hoe therefure declined to speakfrom the bulgony, and re entering the hotel he left it again by the side door and in_company with chairman New and Hon, Wm McKinley of Ohio was driven up Calhoun street to a point opposite Li rary hall, A great body of the crow ifollowed him and here. standing upon the driver's seat he spoke as follows: BLAINE'S SPEECH, Citizens of Indians, the October elections in Ohio and West Virginia have put a new phase on the national contest, or_rather th-y have reproduced the old phase, [Good.] The democratic party, as of old, consider now that they haye the south solid again, They beliove that they will surely get 153 electoral votes from the sixteen southern states and then they expect, or they hope or they dream +t they may securs New York and Indiana Never, never, it i3 a dream!”] And that Vi New York and Indiana added to the olid south they will seize the government of the nation, [They can’t do it—mever!] I<o not believe that the farmers, the business;men, the manufacturers, the merchants, the me- chanics, and last of all, and mostof all, I do e that the soldiers of Indiana can be put to that use, [ireat cheering, and cries of “Never. never!”] I do not beiieve that the men who added lustre and renown to the name of your state through four years of bloody war, can be used to call into the administration of the government. the men who orzanized the great rebollion, ['No, no, nover!”] In the senate of the United states, the democratic party have thirty-seven members, of which number thirty-two cam, from the south, OFf their strength in the honse of representatiyes, the majurity comes from the south, and now the intention is, with an absolutely solidified electoral vote from the south, added to the votes of the two states I have named, to seize the government of the union.

The scheme is for & party of bonuholders to demand of the trustees the re- moval of the receivers through tho courts, up- on the grund that they are injuring the property by their war tactics, Of course the cutting of rates will necessitate the issue of additional receiver cortificatos and these take precedence of bonds as claims against the company.
