The Committee on Plan of Club Organization recommend as follows: Hirst All clubs should add to any local name which thev may select the words “Hendricks -League. Second—The p- rsons whose selection may be provided for by this conference on dub organization should meet in their lespective counties, and, with the assistance or all IJeinocrais who may desire to aid in the work, or who may be mocracy. ‘article i. This club shall b known as the club of the Hendricks League.’ “article ii. “The officers of the club shall consist of a President, a Vice--1 icsident, a Secretary a Treasurer and an Executive Committee. “article hi, Ine 1 resident and Vice-Presi-dent of said club shall constitute members of an Advisory Commitinduced so to do. forthwith proceed to organize clubs in their several counties on the plan adopted by this conference, which clubs, so rapidly as they may be formed, shall seket from their own number a committee whose especial duty it shall be o encourage the further establishment of similar organizations at other points in their several counties, an so on until like clubs are created in every town and township possible. Third—Whenever a club has organized, under the plan submitted, it shdl be the duty of the Secretary thereof, without delay, to send to the Secretary of the “Democratic State Central Committee” at Indianapolis, Ind., and to the Chairman of their “Democratic County Central Committee,” a list of the names, with addresses and such other information as may be required concerning the members constituting the club. Such Secretaries shall also report, as above, all additional names which mav be added, from time to time, to their s veral clubs. s It is recommended, by this conference, that the “Democratic State Central Comnfittee” shall, so soon as practicable, prepare printed blanks, calling |for gall desired information, which shall b* forwarded to the several local clu .s as rapidly as they may become oigaiiized. Your committee further recommends the adoption of the following Constitution and By-laws for the government of local clubs: “We, the undersigned citizens, believing that the good of our country and th? perpetuity of our American institutions will be best subserved by the more general advocacy of Democratic doctrines and the continuation of the D mocratic party in power, have formed ourselves into a club, known as the ‘Hendricks League,’ which latter part of our name is adopted in honor of the late Thomas A. Hend’icks. “The object of he club is that we may form ourselves into a permanent organization for the perpetuation of the principles of Detee, whi h committee shall be sub ject to the call of the State and County Central Committees for consultation, at such times and places as said committee shall designate. •“Your committee further recommends that each local club shall adopt such further rules and bylaws as they may severally agree up

THE LAND STEALERS.

[Continued from Ist page. ]

These are exactly the facts as , shown by official documents. Now, j how d es Mr. Dorsey answer me? , Upon investigating the title of I this >jrant he says he became satisfied it was fraudulent When did he make this investigation and reach this conclusion? The records of my office and of t'.e InteI rior Department give no answ rto the question. They do not sho v that he ever made ai. investigation, but the contrary. He says that he wrote to the Hon. Carl Schu'Z, then Secretary of the Interior, stating substantially all the facts in his possession granting the grant, and asked him to send a spe cial agent to make a careful investigation, and turned over to the Secretary all the papers in his possession. Unfortunately for Mr. Dors y, these statements are unsupported by the records of the Land Department, and contradicted by them. They show that he persisted in his claim for years following the first agitation of the validity of his title, and up to January, 1879, when the forgery of the grant was demonstrated. He did nothing whatever in instigating the inquiry which led to this demonstration, whic . inquiry w T as set on foot by Lewis Kingman and Henry W. Ai ms in the year 1877. The papers show that he was displeased with their intermeddling with his title, and that it was solelely at the instance of these men s hat the Land Office directed an investigation to be made. In the 1 ght of the ie facts the reader can judge for himself as to Mr. Dorsey’s reverence for *he truth when he says: “I exposed the fraudulent nature of the grant with which Mr. Julian atteo. pted to link my name unfavorably!” The audacity of this statement is fascinating.— It is Satanic, and it settles the fact that Mr. Dorsey, in bis way, is a genius. But he says that he applied to the Secretary of the Interior to have the land within the bounds of this fraudulent grant thrown open for .ettlement, and that it was done accordingly. This is what I said in mv article; but I stated, further, that the Land Department had no power to do this. One Surveyor-General had pronounced the grant valid, and another had dec ar.d it to be a forgery. Congress alone could determine the question, and the land was absolutely reserved by law law in the meantime. Secretary Schurz and Williamson knew this perfectly, and for this reason, doubtless, no written order for the survey and sale of these lands was made, and the business was done “in the dark.” Nor is there any mystery about this action. Mr. Dorsey was then a power in politics. He had neared the summit of his remarkable ascendancy. It was in the following year (1880) that his genius lighted the way to national victory for the Republicans, for which he was banqueted and lionized as “the Napoleon who carried Indiana.”— When such a man wanted the. Republican officials of the Land Department to violate the law to enable him to appropriate a large body of public l?nds in furtherance of his rapacity, they did not dare say no, and the robbery “was done.”— Mr. Dorsey knows all this, but makes no defense. He admits the action of the Land Department in response to his request, but stands mute as to its illegality. He knows, and so do Carl Schurz and J. A. Williamson, that that acti n was totally unauthorize ’ andsneakingly performed, and that the lands acquired by him an i his allies under an illegal ord r now rightfully belong to the United States. In these statements lam supported by the records of the Government, and no 1 wyer will attempt to controvert them. In snch a dilemma as this, Mr. Dorshould have remained silent, both on bis own account and in the interest of parties claiming title under him. Mr. Dorsey concludes his paper with a digression upon the water sup ly of New Mexico, and its “physical phenonpna of climate and topography;” and he insists that with very slight exceptions | the land is fit only for grazing and mining. This is not the conclu- i sion of a disinterested explorer ; and devotee of science, after pa-' tient inAestigati.m, but the plea of I a land stealer, seeking to make the | phvsicial ’' ■' ■"dl-rities of the conn- (.;■■■■ VL.. cCu . -1..

The way-faring man, though a fool, can see this. If he could make I the public believe that New Mexico is worthless for agr culture, it wo’d go far to exonerate him from th? charge of robbing the Government aad plundering poor settlers thro’ the machinery of the homestead and pre-emption lavs. It would also tend to smooth his way to still more formidable schemes of robbery as a great cattle king, through which he and his confederates co’d trample down and crush out both the stock-grower of small means and the homesteader, and thus bring the people of the Territory more completely under the yoke of a grand Brotherhood of Thieves. The trcuble with Mr. Dorsey :s that he believes the p ople too stupid to see through the game he is playing. It does not occur to him that owing to his unfortunate survival of his own conscience nobody will accept either his theories or his facts. Although his reputation for sue essful and brilliant rascalitv is continental, he impudently takes the witness stand, as if he expected the public would believe him. He is, perhaps, the most picturesque political reprobate now on public exhibition; but he seems wholly unconscious of the fact that "he interest felt in him is purely historic and post mortem, and that the pe pie onlv desire to get some idea of hi. moral physiognomy, and what may be called the scenery of his career. I trust 1 have done them some service in this direction; but it has been the chief ’'urposeof this paper to penetrate the dry rot of hi self-com-placency, and by a little wholesome vivisection to help him catch at least a glimpse of his real lineaments as others see them, and as indelib’y pai ted by himself in the somber pigments of his evil deeds. If I have failed in these friendly offices it will be Mr. Dorsey’s misfortune, and not my fault Gegrge AV. Julian.

The latest thing in the line of a swindle, says an exchange, for the ta/mers LTsteer clear of, is a v ry innocent /looking individual who wants to paint the roof of your barn for *a night’s lodging, nd in the morning wants you to sign a rerommendation as to his qualifications. The recoin mentation turns up at a neighboring bank in the shape of the usual promissory note. > -A— The Indianapolis News, a prominent republfcan paper, has this to say in response to John Sb man's recent anti-tariff reform effort: “Judging thus far, we should say that Republican leaders would do wisely in letting the P'-esident’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 fo r th in years.”

The Vincennes News says: “If protection raise.il the price of labor, all employers would instantly turn free-traders.” A fact which none wiJ dispute. Dorsey is not thinking much of “soap” just now. Hon. Geo W. Julian says beholds 600,000 acres of public lands to which he cannot “read his title clear,” ard Steph is in great tribulation thereat. Mr. Julian is after his scalp all the same. . a man cannot tell what the needs and rights of women and children are, because he is not one of them. He will remember well enough, however, that he did not run to his father but to his mother for comfort in Ins infancy; and this will be a sufficient argument, if he be a. fair-minded man, to show him that in the management of women and children, women ought to have an auhoritative say.— Toronto Week.
