VjW ' I SOME FUMY STORIES Told by Indiana Democrats, of How Money Was Raised TO ELECT HB.H ARRISONPEESIDEKT Congressman Bynum's Tale of Two Men Who Failed to Get Office. THEI COXTBIBUTED TO THE FUXD, Bat for Btasou cf His Oto, the President Had to Eematn Their Better. The Democrats of Indiana areJnuch amused at some stories that are being told of the manner in which money wasraised for the last Presidental campaign n that State in return for offices that nave not been turned oTer to the contributors. rSrECIAL TKLEGR1U TO THE DISPATCH.! "Washington, September U.Kepre Eentative Bynum, of Indiana, is in town, and tells some very entertaining stories of the tray the administration is dispensing patronage in various parts of his State. United States Treasurer Huston, he says, who was Chairman of the State Republican Committee during the Presidental cam paign, went about among the local bosses collecting contributions to the party fund and doliug out to each contributor assur ances of the amount of patronape to which his individual subscription wonld entitle him. Unhappily, the President failed to carry out many of these agreements. One man, for example, gave some hundreds of dollars, besides procuring the indorsements from a majority of the leading Republicans of his town for postmaster, but lo! when the post office changed hands IT 'WENT NOT TO HIM, but to a comparativelv unknown and un suspected merchant, who dealt in shoes. It took a good while for the defeated candidate to grasp tr reason for this miscarriage of plans. br,t he presently learned that his Inckr rival was in the habit of buying his stock in trade of Mr. McKee. General Harrison's son-in-law, and was considered a valuable customer. In another town a hungry and thirsty patriot subscribed 5200 on the faith of getting the postoffice in exchange. The local Grand Army organization, however, which was very strong politically, indorsed some body else, and the President did not dare to carry out the contract of his campaign col lector. This made the 5200 man very angry, of course, but he had the shrewd sense to take A BUSINESS VIEW of the situation, and go to the successful competitor and demand his money back, instead of kicking up a public rowand em barrassing the Republican machine with disagreeable exposures. The victor was equally business-like, and consented to make good the contribution if the other would consent to take a note for the amount. So that is the way the matter stands at present. The postoffices are only a part, Mr. Bynum says, of the general system of pur chase, sale and delivery, which has been in operation ever since the campaign of last year got fairly under way and the calls for money became uncomfortably pressing. The scandal reaches even into the pettiest places that command a salary of a lew hundred dollars from the Government. ASITRISG TO AKIBODr. What New Jmcr ProhlbltlonUU Think a Republican Platform Meant. ISrEClAI, TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Kevt Tokk, September 19. General Clinton B. Fisk, candidate for President on the Prohibition ticket last fall, was asked to-day what he thought the temperance plank in the platform adopted by the New Jersey State Republican Convention on Tuesday meant local option, high license, or both or neither. He replied: "This plank is, in my mind, a very good plank for those who like that kind of a plank. A man who is in favor of local option can con strue it as for local option, and the man who wants high license can construe it as being in favor of high license. That platform does not say anything. It does not mean anything, and its commits the party to nothing. I was willing to help elect a Lejislature which would give us an efficient local option law, but this platform says nothing." George La Monte, the Prohibition candi date for Governor, said when asked what he thought of the platform: "Why, it means anything to anybody, or nothing to any body." He added that the plank had been submitted to the brewers' attorneys and was pronounced satisfactory. Then "it was pre sented to the Prohibitum Renublicans and was satisfactory to them. As to the effect of the plank on the Prohibi tion vote, he said: "I have heard Republicans declare that if the party did not take a decided stand in tht matter they wonld not vote with it, and vet their politi cal bias swaved them at th'e last If any good to the Prohibition party results it will be more from a suppression of Republican voles than any direct defection of Repub licans to the Prohibitionists." TWO OFFICERS AEEESTED. They Are Charged With Actine In a Dis orderly Manner. Police officers Alexander and Davis were arrested last night by Special Officer Cald well, of the World's Museum,for disorderly conduct. The accused men claim that they may have been talking a little loudly, but they were far from disorderly, and charac terize the arrest as an outrage. They were off duty at the time of the arrest, and were allowed to depart without bail, but were ordered to appear at the hearing to morrow. THE PACKAGE HISSING. Ttto Italians Accused or Stealing Express Slniter. Antonio Stork and Antonio Calini, two Italians, were arrested yesterdayforstealing an express package containing three silver watches and a gold case valned at 5127.

The current issue of the American Manu facturer contains a lengthy editorial on the operations of the English syndicate that purchased the Oti's Iron and Steel Com pany's plant at Cleveland, and the works of the Thomas Iron Company at Easton. The article reviews at length the sale of the two large establishments, and concludes as fol lows: It is not at all impossible that these concerns may continue to make earnings on the oasis of those of the past, and to pay dividends, but the Srobabilltics arc against it.

The Predicament of a Witness Who Was Bather Too Willing. ALL THE KEWS FfiOM SEAEBI TOWNS tSPECIAL TSLEQRAU to TBI DISPATCH. Connellsville, September 19. "There is a scarcity of coke as well as a scarcity of coke cars in the Connellsville region," says the Courier, in its review this week. "The demand has a last become greater than the supply. In spite of the fact that all the outside coke regions have fired up their long idle ovens again, and are putting the product on the market, tho Connellsville operators have more orders than they can AIL There still remain a few idle ovens in the re gion, bnt these are being fired up as rapidly as possible, and new ones are being projected. Already the production and output Is up to the average of the boom times of last fall, and the conditions of trade warrant the prediction that they must soon exceed them. "It is an Interesting fact that the iron trade situation at tho present time is much the same as that which prevailed ten years ago, when the price of Iron was advanced from 2 cents in August to 4 cents in the following February, and when the price of coko rose from tl 75 to Si 50 in a few months. The boom of 1S79 was preceded by just such a dullness as marked the present spring, and the Improvement began about the same time in tbe year. It is not probable: however, that the boom of 18S9 will be so violent as that of 1879. It is to be hoped that it will not Such rapid and great ad vances are sure to bo followed by correspond ingly radical reactions and consequent demor alization of trade. Better moderate prosperity longer continued. None appreciate this fact better than the iron men themselves, and it Is not likely that the folly of 1879 will be repeated thisyear. "We may not therefore, look for such ex tra vacant prlceB as characterized a correspond ing period ten years ago, but an advance to S3 is not at all without the bounds of possibility. The estimated production of last week was 126, 488 tons. This is the biggest week's output with bnt one exception, during the present year, and within 1,000 tons of being the largest week's production In the history of the coke region. The shipments for last week were correspondingly large, aggregating 6,100 cars." CAUGHT IN A TRAP. A Too Willing Witness Suddenly Becomes the Defendant Himself. SPECIAL TELEOllAil TO TUB DISPATCH. 1 Canton, Beptember 19. Charles Davis, a saloon keeper, swore himself behind the bars here very quickly.

Tbe attorney for the prosecution asked Davis if be was willine to swear that he had f urnisbed Waltnor with liquor. Davis re plied that he had sworn it "Do you know that you are liable to prose cution for so doing?" "No, sir." replied Davis. "Well, sir, you are," said tbe attorney, and turning to his associate asked him to prepare an affidavit against Davis, which was aone. He was then arrested as soon as he left the witness stand, waived examination and was bound over to Probate Court He was an outside narty, but will now be jailed for giving liquor or prosecuted for perjury.
