The Democratic Conferem e declared in favor of Cleveland & Gray. Next week we -*ill publish the resolutions adopted by the Democratic Conference, as well a? the plan agreed upon for the organization of Hendricks Clubs. Governor Luce, of Michigan, a strong Republican, says, “I m o; posed to piling up a surplus for the sake of spending it I say cut the revenue down to the actual need of the government. Take the tariff off sugar and pay a bounty to the producer, and wt would soon be producing all our sugar. Then put on th« tree list every article not produ ed in this country ?”

Senators Hale and Billee Chandler are in deep agony, the former over the action of the President in making removals and appointments. He fears that when the dear Hubbells come to overhaul the departments for Republican assessments they will find no victims to respond to their demandsThe latter, Billee Chandler, is shedding crocodile tears over the Southern negroes. H» hopes to succeed in an effort to manufacture a little campaign thuude r and “fire the Northern heart.”

The great men of the republican partv differ in their estimate of President Cleveland. Our neignbor, of the. Republican, refers to the President as “The ignorant amateur statesman !”

James Russell Lowell, one of the acknowledged intellectual men of that party, and late republican Minister to England, at a recent banquet in Boston, said: “I feel strongly attracted to Mr. Cleveland as the best re resentative of the highest type of Americanism that we have seen since Lincoln was snatched from us. — We are here to felicitate each other that the presidential chair has a man in it, and this means that every word lie says is weighted with what he is, that he understands that politics means business, not chicanery; plain speaking, not paltering with us in a double cause. That he has the courage to tell the truth without regard to self or party. Our politics call for a broom. Cleveland has found it and begun to ply it. He has set us an example of courage, good sense and moderation. He has kept well to his text.”

From ail accounts the Democratic Conference held at Indianapolis last Wednesday was a grand outpouring of the people of the State. Every county was represented and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed At night the speeches of ex-Senator McDonald and Gov. Gray were the chief attraction.— Mr. McDonald replied to Sherman’s appeal for high tariff, and clearly proved up th incincerity and dishonesty of ’Lize Pinkston’s admirer. Gov. Gray gave notice that the Democracy of Indiana were fully prepared, and would go before the pe pie on State issues. He clearly demonstrated that of the State debt, amounting to $6,430,608.34, leaving out the $16,825.12 old internal improvemer t bonds, the Kepublicans made $5,258,783.22, and 1 ft nothing to show for it; while for the $1,160,<>oo created by the Democrats he pointed with pride so the new State House, the new Asylums and other improvements into which it

THE LAND STEALERS.

special agents of the Government He knows, also, that quite a number of these man were convicted, and that the great body of them escaped solely through the saving grace of the statute of limitation, which iunooant men would not have i leaded. The proof of their guilt was ample, and no man knows thiß better than Mr. Dorsey, who is exceedingly familiar with the work of acquiring title to the public lauds through t e perjury ana subornation of perjurv of scullions and dummies employed far this service. In this prostitution of our land laws to the base uses of theft and plunder, I do not speak at random, but on the authority of ascertained facts. I shall only refer to the proceedings of a single term of the United States Cou t held in Santa Fe, last spring. On the trial of numerous parties for perjury and subornation of perjury in procuring land titles, and conspiracy to defraud the Government through the corrupt use of our land laws, eighty-eight persons availed themselves of the statute of limitations and thus confessed their guilt. The testimony developed the fact that many of these men nad been paid from five to ten dollars each to sign oertain title papers, and that they never saw the land and never attempted to occupy or improve it, while the men who hired them to swear falsely sold the land to an lowa cattle company. All this is weU known to Mr Dorsey, aDd that these men would not hav« escaped the penitentiary if the Republican officials of the Territory had done their duty in securing indictments in season. But Mr. Dorsey says “there is not a grain or shadow of truth” in the charge that land frauds have been committed in New Mexico to “any extent.” In speaking of an accomplished scoundrel of th» last century, Thomas Carlyle says “there was not truth enough in him to mak- a real l : e of.” I suspect that Mr. Dor. ey is his lineal descendant. But hear him further. In speaking of the right of the citizo to take 160 acres of land and pay for it as designated by law at the rate of $1.25 per acre, ho says: “The person entering this land must sweai that he is doing d foe his own use and benefit, and not with the view of selling it.” This is true; but in the case just cited, which are mt.re samples of New Mexican frauds, the men who pretended to enter their tracts swore falsely, and the lands passed at once into the clutches of a cattle company, just as Mr. Dorsey is well understood to have secured the title to his lands on the Una ue Gat>: Grant, and he defends this disgraceful perversion of the pre-emption law. He says: “Before the tide passes to the pre-emptor he pays th Government the price of the land,” and that “the Government is not defrauded.” It is true the Government does not lose xhe price of the land, and, therefore, according to this logic, if Mr. Dorsey can hire one hundred mid-dle-men for a few dollars each to acquire that many qua ’ter sections oi: land by perjury, and convey them to hitu, it is a legitimate business. The pre-emotion law, iv is true, only permits one person to acquire one liundre and sixt r acres of land, but on the Dorsey plan he can acquire one hundred thousand, and that law thus becomes the ms.rument through the great curse o s jono olv. vrlif h •"| ,_ * , . • * ( . it' >vHo 'A S*. 1 v\) [ i' ‘ v til ij i.T j.tl i ened uuon the c--. untry. liver;.tody knows that the pre-emption law subordinates the question of revenue to the policy of a trial settlement an 1 tillage in’ mu '.] homesteads. When it was passe:],

in 1841, tho Treasury was full to overflowing from the proceeds or sales of the public lands in large, bodies for speculative purposes' thus fatally hindering the settlement and development of the c mn • try, after a long wrangle in Congress our ugly “surplus” was divided among the States, and we entered upon a new dispensation, inspired by the purpose thereafter to dedicate the public lands to the use of the landless men who wo’d personally appropriate them -in limited allotments. Not revenue, but the settlement of the lands was the dominating idea; |and this was fterwards still more strongly emphasized in the passage of the homestead law. But the moral vision of Mr. Dorsev sees nothing v.r Jig in nu..Ayi;ig imsh -ness

laws, and making them the engines of monopoly and robbery, through the detestabl agencies of bribery and perjury. As I have shown, he denies, absolutely, that any frauds have been committed under them in New Mexico, and then brazenly defends the very villainies I have charged upon him an* his kind. Such is the gospel of “land stealing,” according to St Stephen. It is Dorseyism, pure and sin pie, in its unveded ghastliness; and I turn away from it and mereiiully draw the curtain over it while I proceed with my task.

“If the government may rightfully collect money by taxation and then donate it as a oounty or subsidy to individuals or corporations 6i gaged in particular industries or particular commercial enterprises, in order to make their private business profitable, why may it not also collect it and distribute it among particular classes of the people to equalize their fortunes, and thus accomplish all that Socialism and Communism are demanding?”—Speaker Carlisle.

Wonderful Cures. W. D. Hoyt & Go., Wholesale and Retail Druggists of Rome, fta., s ys: We have been spiling Dr. King’s New Di.-covery,Electric Bitters, and Buck len’s Arnicu Salve for four years. Have never handled remedies that sell as well, or give such universal satisfaction. There have been some wonderful cures effected by these medicines In this city. Several cases of pronounced Consumption l ave been entirely cured bv use of a few bottles of Dr. King’s New Discoverytaken in connection with Ele jtric Bit ters. We guarantee them always Sold by F. B. Meyer.. 11.-21 I One Grabber Makes Money.— Bill Arp says: “A farmer said to me the other day: “Why doesnt Uncle Sam pay me $lO bounty on every bale of cotton I raise ? He * ays Joe Brown $6.50 on ev. ry ton of pig-iron, and I’m just as good as Joe Brown.’”—Atlanta Constitution. That is what we call getting to the core of the matter. The Minnesota farmer is just as good as the Pennsylvania iron king. If the latter be entitled to a bounty on his iron, why shouldn’t the former have a bounty on his wheat and pork?—St. Paul Globe. The latest thing in the line of a swindle, says an exchange, for the farmers ti> steer clear of, is a v ry innocent looking individual who wants to paint the roof of your barn for a nigh ’s lodging, nd in the morning wants you to sign a recommendation as to his qualifications. The recommendation turns up at a neighboring bank in the shape of the usual promissory note. The Indianapolis News, a prominent republican paper, has this to say in response to John Sli . rman’s recent anti-tariff reform effort: “Judging thus far, we should say that Republican leaders would do wisely iu letting the President’s message alone. It can not be distorted into, anything but an honest appeal for a reduction of the tariff, and it has probably already made the biggest “vest pocket” vote of any document that nas been put tenth in jears.”

Personal. Mr N. H. Frohlichstein, of Mobile Ala., writes: I t ike great pleasure in recommending Dr. King’s New Discover,' for Consumption, having used it i'C a severe attack of Bronchitis a d Catarrh i I* gave me instant ran lief and entirely cured me and I have not been afflicted since. I also beg to state that I had tried other reme dies with no good result,. Have ais us. a! Eieetic Bitters - and D.i King New Lif' Pills, both of which Ica rec-f nrmend. Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consuicpiion, Coughs and Colds, is sold or- a positive guarantee. T: foi Bottles free at F. B . Mev er’ Drugstore. 11-21 1. The Vincennes News says: “If protection raised the price of labor, all employers would instantly turn free-traders.” A fact which none will dispute. * r — A —: Dorsey is not thinking much of “soap” just now. \ Hon. Geo. W. Julian says he holds! 600,000 acres of public lands to which he cannot “read his title clear,” ard Bteph is in great tribulation thereat. . Mr. Julian is after bis scalp all the same.

DENTISTRY!—AII those wishing their teeth put in order would do well to see Dr. Horton. He guarantees his work first class in respect. Those having missfitting plates are especially invited to cab, as, by the use of the lately invented cohesion forms, any ore can secure a perfect fitting plate. J. W. Horton.

Give Them A Chanee!

That is to say your lungs. Also al vour breathing machinety. Very wonderful machinery it is. Not only the larger air-pnssag s but the thousands of little tubes and cavities leading from them. When these are clogged ani choked with matter which ought cot to be there, your lungs cannot half do their work. And what they do, they cannot do w r ll. Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia, catarrh, consumption or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid oi. T ! ere is just one sure way to get rid of them. That is to take Boscbee’s German Syrup which any druggist will sell you at 75 cents a bottle. Even if everything else has failed you you m9y depend upon this for certain Ex-Gov. Porter: “Indiana is normally Democratic.” You bet.

A Sound Legal Opinion. E. Bainbridge Munday, Esq., Counfy Atty ~ Clay Co., Tex, says: “Have used Electricßitters with most happy results. Mv brother was also very low witu Malarial Fever and Jaundice, but was cuicd by timely use of this medicine, Am satisfied Electric Bitters saved his life ” Mr D I Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave. Ky., adds a like testimony, 83ytng:— H positively believes he would have died, had it not been for Electric Bitters. This great remedy will ward off, as well as cure all Malarial Diseases, and for alt Kidney, Liver and Stomach Disorders stands unequaled.— Price 50c.*aud sl. at F. B Meyer’s. 6
