Washington, D. C., Nov. 14,—Indications al
ready point to an ellort to consolidate the twen
ty or more l>pre*cntattfS«-elcct to the next
Codstcm chosen as Independents or Green
backers Into a third party organization, to co
operate for the exercise of the balance of power
between the regular Democrats and Republic
ans. The chances, however, are that most of
the Greenbftckers will usually act with the Dem
ocrats, on the ground of substantial accord in
financial views and purposes. It Is not improb
able, however, that enough of these independ
ents may hold a separate caucus to dictate the
selection of Speaker and other officers of the
Douse. Prominent Ureenbackcr lenders urge
that their only hope of success lies In a new po
litical organization, especially ns the recent
elections show that the tost repudiates them,
and their available alliances must be with the
West.

JtCMAUKS DY OOWBLBOT TALBOT.
Mr. Tnlbol was the lion of the hour, end when
he arose in responco to a toast bo wis loudly
(iu cred. After nlludlng to the vote polled bv
Butler he said: ”11 seems to me, gentlemen,
that the 110.000 votes given for our opponent
should tic au admonition to the parly lu cower,
no matter how strong they are, that everv
effort uiiould be made to satisfy the people';
that that uartT is determined to be economical
mall iruniootiono; that every effort should be
made to cun all the publle expenses; ami that
Hus element of ’dissatisfaction that has taken
hold of the people should bo taken out of
politics. 1 think it is the duty now of the Re
publican party to bring the State expenses
down to o pence basis, os near oh possible down
to the expenses which existed previous to the
War.”
JJrief addresses were made by Congressmen
elect Bowman, Norcron, and Russell, alter
which Collector Beard was Introduced. The
Collector made a severe stuck on liutlcraud
Wendell Phillips. Ho said: “Wo want to
have a stainless record for our own sake, but we
are not sensible If wo hope bv accomplishing
that result to escape the scandal and abuse of
such a demagogue as we have defeated. If we
hope for such a thing we hone la vain. The
name line of attack will bo made, the same false
hoods brought up, the same old stories will bo
told, and the same Impossible promises made in
the future as in the past. We shall have the
sanio attempt to array clussaffoinat class and cod-
Hal against labor. If wc do not have Dennis
Kearney wo shall have somebody equally vulgar
ind profane. Wo shall probaulv again have
IVf-ndell Phillips on the stump as wo have had
this year. Just look at tho spectacle Wendell
Phillips presents; a man who bus held the posi
tion bo las. lio stood in TremonfJemple and
made a revolutionary speech, arrived the poor
against the rich, capital against labor. In that
speech and In tho pamphlet he Issued be ad
vised taking the money away from the banks
and giving It to the people. There Is one thing
vrry singular about this. Ho Is a man who lives
on the -Income of Inherited wealth, who was
never known tu<r(sk a dollar fur an Industrial
enterprise to glvo employment to the pour,
but who has hung with a miser's grasp to
the possessions he bas Inherited. Fifty thou
sand votes which were given to Gen. Butler
were given In tho belief that bo would win, and
the fact of defeat takes awsy the prestige of
future hope, takes away tho strength, and 1
have no frar of another contest like'this, pot
tho least." (Prolonged applause.] Collector
Heard then said that the Republican party bod
drifted away from tho true financial ground,
and predicted that tho question would bo settled
oatlsfacturily to am people during the session
of the present Congress. Io closing, the speaker
said: “ 1 hope the South will learn wisdom be
fore Uls too late. 1 Lope we will not again
have to take up the question of equality before
the low, hut II we have to do It the Republican
party Is able to perforin the mission.” (Pro
longed applause.]
MR. BOUTWILL'S PUILOSOrUT.
~E x* ;B ! iT CWr^l iouJ 'v eU madc a mild defense of
>lr. Butler, and said Out had fce died In July
the Republican party would have been beaten.
tVo are, hu tald, indebted to him and the ele
ments brought into tho campaign for the neces
sary activity which enabled us to win mis vic
tory. The Administration shuc last July 1
think, has dope Us duly In recant to Southern
affairs; hut there Is one Idea predominant, more
Important In tbe estimation of Republicans
tban tiie financial question even, and that
is, whether tho million of ueu. enfran
chised American citizens, are to be extinguished
as a political power.- I Great applause.) Nuw,
for two years tbe Republican party ot Massa
chusetts has been very silent upon that subject,
or have not given an unqualified approval 01 it.
1 say to all mv political friends who have hesi
tated upon that point that the time Is near, If It
nas uot already arrived, when there will bo uu
future for the RepuoHcau’nartj. unless It de
velop* itself to tbe maintenance of (he rights of
4,0uu,000 human beings. (Continued app/suae.j
1 say to all that If another convention - of the
Masaachusetta Republican party U held and that
convention U silent upon this question pf hu
man rights, a more formidable foe wilt stuck
that party than Geu. Butler. (Prolonged ap

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Second Day's Proceedings of the Convention
at Indianapolis. Ind.
Special Lisaalc!i to Tb* Tribune,
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 14.— The second
day’s proceedings of the Convention of the
American Woman’s Suffrage Association were
attended by a sllcbtly-locreascd number, es
pecially the night sosslub, when a very brilliant
audience gathered at Masonic Hall to listen to
the efforts of a number of the advocates of the
cause. The reports of .the condition of the
work la Ohio, Kansas, . Missouri,’ and Csllfornla
showed that, aside from an encouraging
growth of public Opinion, not much
had been accomplished. The California Con
stitutional Convention baa adopted a section
doing away with distinction of sex In conferring
suffrage upon the people. Speeches were made
by Mils Leila Padgett, of Philadelphia; Miss
Mary F. Eastman, of Boston; Dr. R. T. Brown,
of Indianapolis; Mrs. Dr. Thomas, of Richmond,
President of the Indiana State Association;
Miss Llbhle C. Gault, of Wisconsin; Mrs. Frank
lin Audcrson, of Indiana; Era A. Pinnoy, of
Ohio; and George W. Julian, of Indianapolis.
The effort of this gentleman was la bis best
vein.nod wain really eloquent and powerful
f ilea for the equal rights of woman before the
aw. The closing session pf the Convention was
held to-night, when the following officers for
the ensuing year were elected:

TUI OXDS TOURED INTO TOR CASPIAN ERA.
London poll Mali Omtltt.
The announcement la made that the Amou
Darya (Oxut) bas been returned to He old bed
by the destruction of a huge dam which stood
within three or four days’ march of Khiva. If
(his startling news bo true U must be concluded
that the detachments alleged on so many occa
sions to bare been sent out with n View of de
termining the question of the old‘bed of the
river were really dispatched with that view.
They may have wished at the tame
time to operate against tho Tekke Tur
comans. But the seizure and annexation of
Mery would bo as nothing comoared with the
.conquest or creation of anew waterway from
the Caspian to Khiva, and tho various countries
washed by the I/poer Oxua la the region to the
north of Afghanistan and of Cashmere. It docs
not of course follow, oven if tbo river bad been
brought back to Its old course, from Karagatvb
alt the way to Krtsnovodsk Bsy, that the
stream would be navigable from the Caspian
upward. Apart, however, from the question of
navigation, tbe conversion of tbe Oxus Into Its
ancient channel would bring water lute a
ateppe of sand tod enable the Hussions to
march from nrasnovodsk to Khiva by a route
not more than three hundred and sixty miles in
length, across a desert which they have hitherto,
for want of water, been unable to traverse In
any large force.
GREAT IMPORTANCE OF THIS MEWS.
London Txnitt.
The Amou Darya or Oxus baa (or several
centuries discharged Itself into tbe southeast
corner of the Bea of Aral. But geographer* had
proved to tha satisfaction cl all students of (no
question that even Id the flltceotb century It
aUU preserved fU original aud ualural course to
tba Caspian tea. Intimately connected with
toe Amou queatioa is that of tlje past existence
p( the Aral Beat which la 'known at vdrloua
periods to have beau to |i great exteilt Con
verted into a ut|tr»b t • »&<t which now owes
ila existence principally to lu tWo river
feeders, ibt Oxus sod tba Jaxarte*. But
tbe question cf the . original bed. ov*be Oxus la
not ao simple aa it would appear from the quea
llou whether Ita trips outlet U lu the C’aaulau or
lo this Aral, for there yet remains to decide
i which UUs aucieut bed to tbe lormer sea. Tba
'tup™ probable Hew la that it it as that known aa
theOgbux, which, skirting tbe steep Ust Urt
tilaieau, traced lu way to life Caspian cither at
laikau'ur Michael Bay;. That bed still remains

This breaks off at Uaxarasp, south of
the Cltr of Khiva, and Is traceable
across Kara Kum and through Kurcn

vlctnltv of the Atrck River at a place still
known as Aktunbe. It consequently passed

Albughlr, the southwestern corner of the Aral
Sea. Tins arm was dimmed no about ilfty years
ago, audjl* waters diverted to another arm;
bnt ever since It has displayed a constant in
clination to return to Its former course. The
flow of water was believed to be Increasing with
each year, so that the task would not have been
ndifllcult oneot removing thedam altogether, and
thus restoring the Laudau branch to Its original
bed. This Is, probably, what has occurred. It
may also be the first step toward the comple
tion of the greater design of flooding the Oghuz
channel; but to effect that gigantic scheme
much remains to bo done. It Is necessary to re
member that tbe greatest rush of water Is at
present toward the west* because the canals for
irrigation, etc., art all constructed on the loft
bamc of the river. This fact must facilitate the
task ot restoring the Ozns to Its old bed. The
Russians probably mean by tbe phrase “rcoccu

mouth Ji the river.

so fur as adduced, regarding the complicity of
Gov. (,'oluiiltt in nii-elvluar uurc of a fee for
signing bonds fot the Northeastern Railroad,
tbe evidence, os far as gleaned from the secret
Investigating Committee, shows that, before
the money (|S,000) was paid, sufficient evidence
was furnished that the party to whom the money
was paid had that amount of Influence with the
Governor, and that the bonds would be signed
by the payment of that amount. This testi
mony Is furnished by good and reliable Repub

matter. The testimony shows there must have
been tome cntlnslon between the Governor and
the clerk in the State Treasury. The Commit

reason thatno one can comprehend,call themselves
Democrats, say that the DsraocraU of the Bute
failed to carry their Stale ana Legislative tickets
because tbsv did not msko lutficlcnt concessions to
tho Orconbackcrs, Assuming by tho term
“Orrcnbackors” they mean thoio wbo believe
that Congress has authority under tho ConstUntlon
to make the notes Issued bv the Treasury of tho
United States a legal-tender for private debU, and,
that Congress ought by it* mere authority to keep
some fixed or uncertain quantity of snoh legal
lender notes lit circulation, th# amount to be
regulated by Congress, U ts very easy to see why
Democrats could miuo no concessions to them, for
no Intelligent man can accept that doctrine and ad

very true that some Democrats were caught by the
delusive folly aoovc defined, but they nave or will

of making Treasury notes or suy other token a
legal-tender for daots. and tho further power Of
