AT GENERAL HARRISON'S HOME.
The Hinerscf the Federation Paj Their Re
spects to the Republican Nominee.
Yesterday afternoon delegates to tho conren
tioa of tho National Federation of Miners and
Mine Laborers Tisited General Harrison at his
residence. They were first met by Mrs. Harrison
and direcily afterwards General Harrison en
tored the parlor to receive a cordial greeting,
and In turn to eitend a cordial welcome to his
friends. Tho spokesman of the delegation was
Daniel McLaughlin, of Illinois, who, in maktog
a abort speech, stated that tho object of their
Tisit was to pay their respects to the coming
President. He said that it was a body of men
representing members of the various mining
States of tho Union, an organization not con
nee ted in any way with politics, yet he believed
that many of tbo members believed in tho prin
ciples General Harrison was chosen to repre
sent, and he boned the Republican candidate
wonld bo elected.
In reply General Harrison said that while he
had nver worked in a mine, yet he was very
familiar and well conversant with the danger of
a miner's calling. He considered it the duty of
the legislatures in all States where mining was
beine performed to case snch laws as would
throw safeguards around the work so that the
miners' lives might be preserved and prolonged.
He said, further, that the wage-earners were- in
a better coaditiou in this country than in the
old countries of the world, and he wae satisfied
that it was due to protection. After fioiahloc
his brief remarks the General led the way into
his library, showing his visitors the presents ho
had received. A number of tho delegates re
mained in tho city last nijrht to witness the
demooetratioo.
The rest of tho day was spent by the General
without any change in his daily routine. Atxioug
tho tk rratns bo received were two from Ver
mont The first was from J. CL McCnlloch, at
North Ben nine ton, reading: "As Vermont prom
ised in Chicago in Juoe, so she has performed at
the ballot-box in September. The Republican
star that never set ascends b.gher, and will
never set. The second was from Senator Ed
rounds, dated at Burlington. It was as follows:
Vermont greets you wnb more than 27,000 ma
jority. Let sll patriots strike th- workers of
sham and the oemUs of American labor."

THE WHITE CAP DISTEICTS
Report of the Attorney-General as to tho
Facts of His Recent Investigation.
He Tells the GoYfrnor Therein that a Stronsr
Expression from the People Would Mate
rially Aid in Stopping These Outrages.
Attorney-general Miehener spent soma days
recently in the "White Cap" distriot, at the re
quest of tbo Governor, and yesterday he sent to
that officer the following report of his inveitigt
tions pertaining to the lawless acts committed
by the organizations earned:
'Hon. Isaac P. Gray, GoTrnor:
"Dear Sir On the 21 day of this month I re
ceived from you tho following letter:
Hon- LculsT. 51 ichener, Attorney-general, Indian-
pcU:
"ly Dear Sir Yoa are hereby respect fully requested
to visit the count' of Crawford and ascertain tho status
of the suits instituted asrainst members of an organi
ration known as 'White Caps and for which, several
mouths ago. I employed additional counsel to assut in
their prevention, and take such steps as you may
deem proper to secure a speedy prosecution of the
suits and also the apprehension, indictment and con
viction of any and all persons who, as members of
such organization, havo been guilty of crime.
Yoa are also requested to visit the county of Per
ry, end do whst you ean to brin g to justice those who
hare been committing outrages in that county under
the name of 'White Caps,' to the end that all such
unlawful assemblages or organizations may be broken
uj, and the promoters cf the same brought to pun
ianraect.
I shall be pleased to receive from you at the proper
time a full report of your proceedings in the premises.
4 'Very respectfully. Isaac P. G RAT.
"And I now beg leave to submit the following
report: Your letter assumes that I have tho
frower. as the Attomev-eeneral of the State, to
ilkitt Id tho prosecution of criminal eases, to
late steps to secure tne speedy prosecution or.
such eases, and to aid in the apprehension, in
dictment, and conviction of violators of the law,
in the inferior courts of the State. Yoa are
wrong in this assumption. The Attorney-gen-oral
has nothing to do with criminsl esses ex
cept snch as may be pending in the Supreme
Court. Revised Statutes, 1881. Seetion 5CZ0.
Tbo polity of our law is, in tho absence of a ne
cessity for executive interference, to mako tho
inhabitants of , the loeallty apprehend and pun
ib criminals, and it is a wise and salutary one.
For this purnose local courts of criminal juris
diction have been created, and judges and pros
ecuting attorneys elected by the people. It is
only when a criminal case has reached tho Su
premo Court thas tho Attornev-gen-eral
becomes clothed with power to act.
But when I received your letter I determined
to make such investigation as might be roper,
not only as a matter of courtesy to you as Gov
ernor, but because of the interest which I felt
in tho good cams of the State and the enforce
ment of its laws. If I had possessed the power
to take action in these matters, I would have
acted long ago.
"For more than two years past the '"White
Cane' have been continuously and defiantly
violating tho law in Crawford county. At the
October term, 1SSG, of tho Crawford Circuit
Court, an indictment was returned sgainst
Thomas Courtney, sr., Thomas Courtney, jr.,
Isaac Sigler, George Sigler, John Sigler, Irwin
Self, Gilly Graves. David Cosley, George Cos
ley and Alfred II. Kaylor. Toe indictment
charges tho defendants with hstlug committed
an assault and battery on George
Seals, Sept 14, 1SS& At the
March term. 1SS7, of that court all of
tho defendants, except tbo two Courtneys and
Kaylor,. wort tried by the court and acquitted.
At the Juno term, 1&$3, tho pro.secuting attorney
dismissed the case as to the Courtneys for the
reafon, at he stated to the court, that thero was
not sufficient evideueo to convict them. All the
parties earned wore Indicted at the October
term, 18S6, for riot in making an acsault on
George Seals, Sept. 14, 1S86. The case as to all
the defendants, except Kaylor, has been dis
missed by the prosecuting attorney for the
reason already stated. The same persons were
indicted at the October term, 1SS6. for conspir
ing to murder Joseph R. Leonard, Sept 14, 1SG.
This ease, also, except as to Kaylor, has been
dismissed by the prosecuting attorney for the
same reason.
"Tho same parties were indicted at the Octo
ber term, 1886, for conspiring to murder Ru
dolph LL Hutchinson, Sept. 14. 1886. Tbo case,
exetpt ae to Kaylor, has besn dismissed by the
prteeeoting attorney for the reason stated.
Kaylor has been coofined in tho State Prison
South for some time, having been convicted of
another offense, and tho eases against him are
still pending.
"At the Oetober term, 1837, WMim Highfill
was indicted for an assault and battery on
Charles Lank ford, Oct. 18, 1887, but the case
was dismissed by tho prosecuting attorney bo
cause of tbo absence of Lankford, who is said
to have left the State.
"An information was lodged against John F.
Wright, William Wright and Lafayette Finley
for an assault and battery on Nicholas Kirsb,
with intent to murder him. They wero tried
by jury at the Mareh term, 1888. and acquitted.
"All these cases were so-called 'White Cap
esses. It thns appears that fourteen persons
have been charged with crime, and that
none have been convicted. The judge of the
Crawford Circuit Court Is Hon. W. T. Zenor,
who enjoys tho reputation of being an honest,
fearless and able judge. At each session of the
grand jury he has delivered a strong and ear
nest charge relative to the -White Can' outrages,
and has done all in his power under the law to
secure the indictment and conviction of the of
fenders, and in these efforts he has been sup
ported by tho prosecuting attorney. Each of
these officers is not only willing but anxious to
do all in his power to secure the apprehension,
indictment and conviction of the 'Whit Caps.'
The judge of the Circuit Court has the power to
appoint counsel to assist the prosecuting attorney
in erimiaal cases, and allow compensation for
such services out of tho county treasury ITull
vs. State, 90 Ind. 238 and he assures me that he
will not hesitate to exercise this power in ail
proper eases. With a judge of such high char
acter, a prosecuting attorney and deputy, the
assistant counsel who may be apoointod ty the
court, and the additional counsel employed by
you, I think it safe to assume that tho interests
of the State will be protected so far as courts
and lawyers can do it Hot the responsibility
does not end there; it rests largely with the law
loving people of Crawford county; for among
them most be found the grand juries to indict,
and the petit juries to convict, if sufficient evi
dence be adduced. I regret to aay that I did not
find such a general sentiment as must exist bo-
fore there ean bo a successful prosecution of the'
cases which may be Drought in the future,
no matter how conclusive the evidence
may be. Tho condition of affairs
is not only deplorable but alarming.
For at least two years past the most outrageous
offenses havo been committed with impunity by
tbo 'White Caps;' they have in many ways
shown their entire disregard for the law and its
officers; they have driven citizens out of the
county aod out of tho State; they havo cruelly
whipped their victims in tho villages of the
county without molestation; they have dragged
large numbers of persons from their beds and
whipped them until the blood flowed to tho
ground; they have repeatedly flogged helpless
women until life was netrly extinct, and they
have procured the publication of their law-defy
iog notices In the newspapers of the county. I
havo not given a detailed statement of these
outrages for they have long been so notori
ous that you are, doubtless, well in
formed concerning them. From the
organization of one band ot -White
Caps' others sprang into existence, and now it
is generally believed that all these bands are
confederated together in one grand organization,
covering portions of three or fonr counties.
The number and the character of the violations
of law to which I have briefly alluded, and the
general belief that all these bands are combined
in an organization for offense and defense, have
brought about a reign of terror in the localities
infested by the 'White Caps' which can only bo
fully understood br those who have conversed
with the people there. Property has been so
depreciated that it cannot be sold at half of its
value. No one has that confidence in his neigh
bor which is so essential to a good state of so
ciety. All is doubt, distrust and confusion. The
result is that some who are considered
good citizens opsnlr applaud the doings of the
'White Caps,' and others are silent who should
be loud in condemnation. The newspapers have
sid but little in disapproval, and of those who
have openly stood for tho enforcement of law a
number have been threatened with violence.
Before there can bo an indictment and success
ful prosecution of these offenders there must be
a considerable change in publio sentiment, and
I am happy to say that, in my opinion, this
change can be product!. Those who favor
peace and order must bo induced to take an
open and courageous stand, and in this they
should havo the support of the local press, to
whi-h should bo added that confidence which
will come from a knowledge that the good
people of the locality will be supported
by every force known to tho laws of tho State.
Unless this change in sentiment is produced, a
general insurrection is likely to follow, and the
Governor of the State will be compelled to sup
press it with tho military power, in obedience
to the eommand of Section 12, Article 5, of tho
Constitution. As one result of such a stateof
affairs, there has been recently organized there,
as I am Informed, a body known as 'Black
Cape;' and it is said that they place armed men
each night on the roads in tho region most in
fested by the 'White Caps,' with instruetiooa
to fire upon any band ot the latter which they
may find. This is the . inevitable result of a
long and widely-spread defiance and violation of
the law without punishment.
"You havo not asked for suggestions from me,
but I take the liberty o( making some, believing
that they will receive due consideration, especi
ally in view of the fact that tho Constitution
makes it your duty to 'fake care that the taws
bo faithfully executed V
"1. I think that it would bo well to reeom
mend Judge Zenor to appoint assistant counsel.
"2. To recommend the prosecuting attorney
to appoint as his deputies such assistant counsel,
as well as the additional counsel employed by
yon, so that they may bo preseot in the grand
jury room when the witnesses are examined.
"3. That, if possible, the pspers in Crawford
county be indnced to denounce the 'White Cap'
outrages and demand tho enforcement of the
law. ,
"4. That you attend the Oetober term of tho
Crawford Circuit Court, while the grand jury Is
in session, and thus give the people to under
stand and realize that there is a force outaidb of
that county whieh can be used, if neeessary, to
secure tho enforcement of the law aod protect
the lives of the people of tho State. I am will
ing to go with you and lend sach influeneo as I
may possess by virtue of my office. Such a
visit from you would, in my judgment, create
aod arouse a public sentiment which would be
productive of great good.
"I inclose a memorandum of a suggestion
wh:ch I do not think should be made public I
did not go to Perry county for tho reason that
the efficient prosecuting attornev of that circuit
visited the county and reported to me that there
is no evidence of the existence of any band of
'White Cat-s' there. The sentiment there is
said to be in favor of enforcing the law, and
good order prevails. Respectfully submitted,
'L. T. Miiiener, Attorney-general. "

Yesterday the fourth annual session of tho
National Federation of Miners and Mine La
borers eame to an end. Tho work of tho miner
is unpleasant in the extreme, and a large num
ber of people fail to eredit him with the merits

yet a more intelligent class of workmen cannot
bo found in any branch of industry. At tho

result: 'r
Executive Secretary Christopher Evans, of Ohio.
National Treasurer James Cantwell, of Indiana.

Dantal McLaughlin, an ex-member of the Illi
nois Legislature, aod a gentleman, who has great
influence among tho miners, of . whose craft ho
is a representative, said last nigit to a Journal
reporter: "The Democratic paity In my Stata
is wholly disorganized. Its speakers and repre
sentative men are not stumping tfie Stato this
yesr as heretofore, in' 'campaign years, and I
think tho Republicans will carry the State by a
larger majority than ever before. 'You see, the
Irish of the State of Illinois are going for Har
rison and Morton in largo numbers.' You would
be surprised at tho number of Irishmen in favor
of protection. Even down in the southern part
of the State, where the Democrats are the thick
est the Republicans have hopes of carrying their
ticket. Ihe Democrats are fighting this cam
paign on tho 'still hunt' plan. They
are going about secretly among the
laboring men whispering in their ears
all this hash about Harrison and tho Chinese.
It is not going to do them any good, for I know
that the miners in the Stato of Illinois are three
fourths of them for Harrison and nrotection."
Mr. P. H. Donnelly, of Springfield, I1L,
another leading miner, was confident of great
results in Illinois for the Republican party. He
knew, he said, that a large majority of the min
ers tn his State were out sousre-footed for Har
rison and protection of American industries. He
said that while in Chicago, recently, he was told
that next week 1,000 Irish protectionists from
that city were coming to Indianapolis to call on
Harrison and assure him of thir support."
Kit Gould' Statement.
Ed Gould, who is largely instrumental in cir
culating tho slanderous statements against
General Harrison, aod particularly tho lie as to
the General saying one dollar a day was enough

self of lying is not strange to those1 who can

of Michael bhieMs; and that on or about the 7th da
of August, 1883, said Edward Qould. in a conversa

with a particle of brains would not accuse General
Harrison of making such a statement as that 'a dollar
a day was good enough- wages for any worliopman.'

such a statement, and General Harrison was no fool;"

day right, which was addressed by Mr. Potts.
The speaker drew a comparison between the
conditions of the laboring people in England
and America, claiming that the American policy
of protection accounted very largely for the bet
ter condition of tbo workiegman in this country,
and that the greed of English manufacturers to
control the msrketi of the world resulted in tho
sale of products at such prices as to com Del the
reduetion of wages to starvation rates, leaving
no margin for tha comforts enjoyed in this
country. At the conclusion of bis speech a
young man came forward and said: "Look here,
Mr. Potts, I want to tell yoa I'm an English
man." Tho speaker, supposing thst he had
aroused the ill-will of the young man, and
might expect some measure cf retaliation, was
considerably relieved and gratified by the next
remsrk: "And I want to shake bands with you
and thank you for your speech," continued the
young Englishman. "You have told tho God's
truth about the business. England is pauper
izing her laborers by her policy of free trade.
She is bound to master the markets of the world
if she has to starve her mechanics to make tho
prices cheap enough. I left England and camo
to this country and am an American now, and I
thank God for it; and we don't want any change
in tho direction of English free trade." The
young Englishman was Mr. W. B. Miles, a sta
tionary engineer employed at Kingan's.
Stato Central Committee.
Tho Republican State committee held a short
session, yesterday afternoon, 'and compared
notes as to the condition of the work in the vari
ous sections of the State. Chairman Huston
made a report of what bad been done since the
last meeting. Plans for tho furthering of the
work were discussed, but so well pleased w;is
the eommitteo with the manaeement of Mr.
Huston that the work to be done was left en
tirely to bis judgement Mr. Huston will rapid
ly complete his arrangements, and speakers will
soon be beard in every eonnty. Stato issues
will occupy a prominent place in all discussions.

Yellow Fever In Florida.
A private note from Orlando, Fla., says thero

"Business is choked to death by tho quaran
tines. I never, even in tho worst days of the
two visitations of cholera, saw so many persons
lose their common sens. By tht unwisdom of
our Governor tho Legislature waa not con
vened last yesr to pass a law making a Stato
board of health. The result is that each county
and town has a quarantine. Well, the other
day. the officials at Tavares quarantined a car
load of lime, and at some other place a lot of ice
was fumigated.
I am proud of Orange county. Her officials
are cool, clear-headed and determined. E. J.
Reel, formerly of Vincennes, is president and
Dr. Hicks father of Mra R. R. Hammond is
secretary of our Board of Health.. Our town is
well policed. Mayor Chapman and Health Offi
cer Crane are aiive. Were you bore you would
feel that Orlando is as healthful a spot as any
on the earth. The only trouble is that with
fever to the north of us we are cut oH and busi
ness is dead for the time."
