“This action gave a genteel contemporary an opportunity to indulge in customary compliments.” —Message. And you might have added “appropriately and properly” indulged. Considering your general policy and the motives which impel you, we take nothing back. Our Simon has a “personal relief bill”—a claim for 8800 00 or 81000 pending in the Legislature. It will be to the interest of the people that Col. Patton be delegated to de ermine, for this district, upon its merits. This is the “personal relief bill” referred to 1 y our beloved and high-toned neighbor in the Message of May 26th. "“How different from this is I resident Cleveland’s treatment of the poor, needy, maimed and enfeebled but equally meritorious soldiers who apply for pensions.” —Message man, Sept. 15th. “President Cleveland is not vetoing the private pension bills to the extent that some of tne Republican newspapers represent.— Of 655 private pension bills which he has xamined, 90 have been vetoed and 565 approved. Nothing is to be gained by lying for partisan advantage.—Message man, July 14. Take your medicine, Horace.

“President Cleveland’s postmasters at Fowler and Goodland are engaged in the laudable occupation of publ.shing the war record of the gallant Col. Patton of Remington; other Democratic newspapers of the senatorial district are doing the same commendable thing. Col. Patton is wealthy enough to buy their friendship.’’ So discourseth Horace E. James, Fraud Hayes’ ex-consul to Turk island, in the Message this week. Considering the source, the insinuations produced a general smil \

Referring to the result of the recent election in Maine, the Indian apol : s News, Republican, says: “A plurality of seven thousand or so is hardly worth the brag when there never was anv reasonable probability of anything else.” Speaking of the action of the Democratic Senatorial Conventio n Robinson’s lover, Horace, says: “’This course leaves the honest and candid Democratic voter untrammeled to cast his ballot as he thinks proper for men.” Yes, exactly; and ‘the honest and candid Democratic voter untrammeled” and unpurchased, as well as a great many voters of the same honesty and candor, but of other party names — ‘Do not yearn for a candidate whose desk is tilled with prepared “changes and additions to the statute laws of the State,” per: -nal relief bills, and the like.”—( See James’ reference to Thompson in Message of May 26th. Therefore they prefer Dr. Patton, and will vote for him, in spite of the mag etic po ver and “infioonce” of our distinguished exconsul to Turk Island, who owes his preferment to a fraudulent execute ve. If act ons speak louder than words, the candi .acy of Dr. H. D. Hattery for Congress is deserving of the consideration of all workingmen. His record shows him to have been always the friend of the worthy laborer, and when his nomination was first announced in Logansport, no class of citizens showed more good cheer than the men who had been employed on public works for the city during his three terms in the council. It is easy for candidates to make pretense for favoring the wage workers, I ut in the case ot Dr. Hattery he can point to his record as a sufficient guarantee of the sincerity of his claim to be willing to do all in his power to raise the standard of wages and rights of workingmen.

Delphi Times: ‘President Cleveland’s vetoing of pensions is to be one of the t ;ings that Congressman Owen will talk about this tall, but not ‘seriously.’ The President approved seven pensions in every eight. One of the bills vetoed provided for a pension to a man that was dead; one vetoed » rovided for a pension that had been already granted by the pension bureau.— These are fair specimens of bills vetoed.” President Clevel nd is entitled to credit and deserves the support of the pe jple for the courage he has displayed in the performance of what he conceived to be his duty. He knew full well that his acts and motives would be misconstrued and misrepresented by candidates of the opposition, and cost him the support of thousands interested in the vetoed bills, ye never faltered. Let the vultures croak.

What it Was Done For.—lt is generally understood that the Journal’s attack on Dr. Hattery this morning was made for the purpose of inducing the Prohibitionists to vote for Mr. Owen. Here at home Dr. Hattery is known as a man of temperate habits. H is popular here, however, because he is opposed to laws that restrict the liberties of the people The attack made upon him was not' in our judgment the best move the Republican manager could make It is generally understood that Mr. Owen will receive the vote of the Prohibitionists and the attack made upon Dr. Hattery will only stimulate the opposition to greater exertion. Mr. Owen will thankfully receive the vote of the Prohibitionists of the district but he does not want that party to nominate him for fear such a movement would drive from his support hundreds of anti-prohibition Republicans. The attack made upon Dr. Hattery is the first intimation that the Republicans are fearful of Owen’s defeat. They are getting anxious for the “truly good” to rusn to the rescue.—Logansport Pharos.

Mr. Doherty’s Reply.

measure of its cousse, and a more expansive policy must be instituted to meet the demand of the age. When your party was first organized it most zealously opposed the abolition of slavery, and early in the war officers were detailed to return fugitive slaves to their masters, but as the war progressed public sentiment gradually changed, and the Republican party was reluctantly compelled to free all the slaves, because the people clamored for it, the progress of the age demanded it, and no sophistry could a ert it. With equal persistence does your party now oppose a revision of the tariff laws, so as to make them move in conformity with the arts and sciences; with the education and intelligence of the people; with the rapid transit of news and transportation of goods. But, like the little stone seen by the Prophet, a more liberal policy has commenced to roll thro’ the States, and soon, reluctantly as as you may feel, your loved system of “protection” will be consigned to the region of fossil forms. Late statistical reports prove that threefourths of all the exports from the United States consist of agricultural products, which have nominally no protection, nor do they ask any, wh le one-fourth must be largely protected, which is thereby increased m cost to the purchaser, for the purpose of upholding a system which makes it too much of a luxury for the laborer. You say it is most important that the Republican party should retain control of the United States Senate. To an unbiased mind the question arises, why? You controlled tiie Senate when millions of the public lands were granted to the various railroads. You controlled the Senate when lands were declared forfeited by the people’s Representatives, and yet you refused to accede to the will of the people. You controlled the Senate when the people, through their Representatives demanded a law prohibit ng foreigners from holding large bodies of land and converting our place for homes into European cattle ranches, and you failed to hear the cries of the people. You control ed the Senate when the exorbitant rate of transportation on our grain and.cattle from the fertile West l°ft no margin to the farmer, and through Representatives fresh from the people asked the passage of the Reagan bill to control railroad freights in such a w y that the farmer could save a pittance from his earnings, and yet you refused their appeals. You controlled the Senate when the House bill to apply the surplus revenue to the purchase of the interest-bearing bonds had passed the House by more than a threefourths majority, and it was presented to you for approval, and by your manipulation of it you made it inoperative, and in the interest of Wall street brokers, and yet you are brazen-taced enough to say that it is most impoatant that you retain control of the Senate.

You say you must use extra exertion to retain Senator Harrison for next term. What has Senator Harrison eve-’ done to engraft him so firmly in the affections of the farmers and laboring men of Indiana? What great statesmanlike step has he ever taken to grapple with the financial or anv other problem of the age ? I know of but one step, and this was when he declared the Greenback party fanatics and idiots. Their fanaticism and idiocy consisted in demanding that Congress exercise its constitutional right to coin all substances used as money, making them a full legal tender for all debt«, and keeping the amount in circulation equal to the demands of commerce. He called them idiots; they knew him to be a fossil, either unable to comprehend what It takes to constitute money, or knowing he lacks the moral honesty and courage to d - clare his convictions, If money consists of gold alone, from an innate principle inherent within it, why does it fluctuate so that at one time it requires more weight fo.' a certain amount than at another time, and hence this gold is money by its innate principle, or it is money by virtue of the law of Congress. Now, if it is money by its inherent nature, why does it require more weigat atone time than at another? Or, if it is money by act of Congress, wherein does it differ from any other thing that Congress declares to be money ? If the law makes even gold of

a certain weight to be called s° much money, by the same authority so much silver, or so much copper, or so much nickle, or a certain marked piece of paper, can be declared to be so much money, for money only consists of that substance which the law declares shall be called money, and be a legal tender from one man to another Now if Senator Harrison knows that money is what the law 7 declares it to be, and that alone is mon y, he is acting the part of a demagogue when he says of the Greenbackers, they are idiots because they ask only ihe constitutional law governing money. If he is ignorant of the law governing money, then his ig orance should bar him from being returned to the Senate. But he is not ignorant. He wants the power to issue money vested in the banks so as to enable them to contract the currency of ihe country at will, and thus, by controlling the circulation, the farmers’ products are depreciated, his debts are doubled, laborers become paupers and ruin stalks through the land at midday. With two-thirds of the real estate of Indiana under mortgage to bankers, insurance companies and foreign capitalists: with railroad freights eating up the grain and other products of our farms to transport them to the seaboard; with steady contraction of the circulation of money while interest and taxes threaten foreclosure; why, I would ask, in the name of conscience, should the farmers and laborers of this State be asked to use extra exertions to return Ben Harrison to the Senate? H e certainly has not one sentiment, one interest in common with the agricultural and laboring classes of ; this State, and when these classes go to the polls and vote for th - Legislators to return him to theS.nate, they are tightening the fetters about their limbs that your party has been forging for them for the last twenty-five years. The aristocracy of Europe declared at the close of the rebellion “that it was well to abolish slavery, for slavery carries with it the cares of slavery; but by controlling the money of the country they could control the labor of the country.”— Twice they failed to c mquer us with the sword; but now through the manipulations of Fleet street and Wall street bankers and the United States Senate, they are in a fair way to subdue us at last. I shall steer clear of your policy. Respectfully,

FISHER DOHERTY.
