Navy Department Frands.

[Jap Turpen in Logaosport Pharos,] Grover < leveland is by no manner of means the man I take him to be, if as President he would allow an officer so convicted as Chandler is, to remain in his Cabinet. The case is now prominently before the country, 'an each of the Republican factions carry a tatooed man to the polish Th» Journal, however, ot a recent date publishes a number of extracts from the press that clearly exonerates Mr. Chandler and convicts Mr. Hendricks of slandering an efficient public serv an t. The following from the Terre Haute Express is a sample: Mr. Hendricks was anxious to slander a member of the President’s cabinet, and he did so by charging that the Secretary failed to investigate the matter of fraud after he had been informed that fraud existed. That was the poiift of liis speech, and it was meant'to reflect upon the integrity of the Secretary of the Navy. But when Mr. Hendricks is shown that he is mistaken he does not say a word of explanation, but delivers himself of a. general charge against the department. The editor who edits the Express. Mr. George M. Allen, is himself a member of the department, at £1,500 per year and perquisities. Voting the Republican ticket, writing things for the >erra Haute Express, and drawing his salary from the Government, is the gifted Mr. Allen’s only avocation in the wide, wide world. Has the general Government any to pension a fellow for services to the Republican party, however brilliant his’ genius? If it has, then the position of Mr. Allcm fails to furnish additional reason why the party now controling the Federal offices should How many more .Post assistant paymasters, stationed all over the couutry, to distort truth and debauch the public mind, are there? Here is a man paid out of the National Treasury to run a Republican paper in i erre Haute, i he ofiice he holds was created exclusively in the interests of the party. No page of modern history, in any civilization on which 1 ever stumbled, reveals grosser corruption, t hat such practices have been allowed to exist this long is a sad commentary on the temperament of the Times. The Terre Haute Express is not a disinterested witness.

LIE NAILING.

- Governor Hendricks Puts Another Batch of Keuublican Lies to Rest. A Sentinel reporter yesterday called the attention of Governor Hendricks to a Washington special of the Commercial Gazette copied into the Journal of Wednesday morning. Among the lies cited was one which read as follows: “He early left his church and went to another because his minister preached a loyal sermon.” The Governor laughed at this newlv coined lie and exclaimed, 4 vv ell, I never belonged to but one church, and that one I belong to yet and never have left it?’ “They seem to be lying about you almost as freely as during the canvass of 1876?” “Yes,” Mr. Hendricks replied “but do you notice that these lies do not stick any better than they did then?” “They say that you were unfriendly to Mr. Lincoln, and refused to support him in hie prosecution of the war?” “ u ell,” replied the Governor. ‘I have some first- ate Republican authority to refute that story, and that is Mr. Lincoln himself. In March, 1865, only a short time before he was assassinated. I went to • 4 he White House to bid him goodbye. I was a member of the 1

NUMBER 27

United States Senate, and that body had .just adjourned and I intended coming home immediately. I frequently called to see him and was always warmly welcomed by the President. On this occasion, as I was about leaving him he took me warmly by the hand and said: “Hendricks, I know you are a democrat, but you have always treated my administration fairly, and I think it is due to say to you that in a short time things will assume a shape over there (pointing in the direction of the Potomac River), when I can have a gen eial jubilee.” “I was so impressed,” continued Governor Hendricks, “with Mr, Lincoln’s broad, charitable and Chirs ta i n views regarding the proper solutions of the questions growing out of the war, that when I came home I told my friends that the Democratic party would not be a distinctive organization very long; that Mr. Lincoln intended to adopt such a policy toward the South that we would be compelled to support him whether we wanted to or not, but his assassination followed shortly after that, and another line of policy was adopted. I favored the necessary appropriations to carry on the war and the encouragement of enlistments of men by bounties. I liked Mr. Lincoln very much. He and I were the best of friends ” Tims one by one the lies are disposed of. As the genial candidate for the Vice Presidency remarked, “they don’t stick.”

To The Dissatisfied Ones.

[Boston Pilot,] To the dissatisfied ones we say as we have said to ourselves: Look around, and see where you are going if you leave the Democratic fold. Democrats belong to a party of beliefs, duties, principles. Can they desert it for a party of ofiicbs, men and privileges? Looked at with ethical or practical eyes, the exchange would be deplorable folly. The Republican party is tottering on its last legs; its work is done; it has nothing but the spoils to live for. The most selfish but the most clearestsighted of its members are flying from it, as rats desert a sinking ship. Their “moral objections” are pretense and excuse for the desertion; the same men accepted Hayes and Garfield, the one coated with a false title and the other stained with a personal history quite as dark as Blaine’s. To Irish-Americans in particular we say: What is the record of the Republican party in relation to you for the past twenty years? What American citizen of Irish birth has it protected abroad? What shameful outrages on Ameri can citizenship has it not allowed when England was the perpetrator and citizens of Irish extraction the victims?

Not one Republican has been moved to redress these astonishing evils, except President Arthur’s; and he had to whisper and smile his objec tions, because he represented the Republican party. Mr. Blaine’s voice during all those years, and when he sat in the cabinet as secretary of State, would have been powerful to correct; but it was never raised—not once. We say to Mr. Blaine now that had he been a defender of the right of naturlized citizens when those citizens were thrown into foreign prisons, untried and uncharged, the Pilot would support him today, and a million American of the Irish race would vote for him in November. But he did not do it, and his pretensions of fair play and friendship are now sneer humbug. He and his party have a lession to learn from ail this; and so has the Democratic party. The advantage of the
