Democratic editorial convention at Indianapolis, January 31st The winter term of the Valparaiso, Indiana, Normal School opened with an attendance of 2,500 students. The Federal Grand Jury is still investigating election frauds, and inav yet indict Dudley under the supplemental instructions of 0 udge h oods. It is generally conceded that the Indiana legislature will acc' mplish some much needed legislation th s session. The Democrats have secured the adoption of rules that will to a great extent head off attempts on the part of republicans to prevent it.

"BUGLE CALLS.”

A Few of Them That Benjamin Harrison Has Heard. [Chicago Globe J The virtuous and distressed so J of Benjamin JHarrison prompted him to utter the following: “Isho’d like to hear a bugle call throughout the land demanding a pure ballot This is a matter above and beyond any question of partisanship.” Did not Benjamin Harrison hear the bugle call sounded by one Dudley when he sent forth that circular proposing and pressing his plan of “dividing floaters in blocks cf five.” This was a bugle call upon the patriotic an* angelic captains of the Harrison army to divide “floaters” into “blocks of five,” place each “block’ in charge of a competent sergeant, and induce them to cast pure ballots for a pecuniary consideration. A ballot cast for Benjamin Harrison and brigandage under the forms of law is a purs ballot. Mr. Dudley sounded a bugle call summoning the subordinate officers of the hosts to secure such ballots in “blocks of five,” no matter how much they might cost Didn’t Benjamin Harrison hear the call? If he did, why would he like to hear another before the coming of the time when more pure ballots will be wanted?

The sundry bugle calls were sounded something mor. than eight years ago, some of winch must ha e reached the ears of Benjamin Harrison. One was sounded by John M. Forbes, then frying out the fat in Massachusetts, who wrote to Marshall Jewel], the chief executive officer of the Harrison party, as follows: ‘lf we have any money to spare to Indiana, besides what the New York committee choose to send through Mr. Dorsey, I suggest sending it to Ben Harrison or Gon. Porter.” Mr. Forbes proceeded to state how he was “fixed,” and added, “so 1 could supply you by advancing $5,000; but 1 will not advance it unless it goes to Harrison or Porter.” — This bugle call fer a pure ballot must have reached the ears of Benjamin Harrison. Senator W. B Allison also sounded a bugle call in 1880. Mr. Allison is now engineering the passage of the senate bill which he and his associates have framed ior the benefit of the men who supplied the pure ballot fat for the late campaign. His name is often mentioned in connection with the treasury department. September 14. 1880, he wrote: “Money must be had and must be sent to Indiana. You must gather about you a corps of strong men who can aid you in raising funds. Maine was carried by money and the stillhunt tactics. Tlie same tactics must be plaved in Indiana and Ohio.”

Here was a bugle call, the tones of which were unmistakable.— Pure ballots were wanted by the candidates of a pure party, and it was necessary to get togethei a corps of “strong men,” able to raise the money wherewith io buy the pure ballots and prosecute the still hunt. Probably Benjamin Harrison heard that bugle call.— Probably he knows how it and Dudley’s later call were answered. It will be time enough for another call when the necessity for pure ballots again becomes urgent. Evansville Courier: Suppose, now, that ninety-two persons in different parts of the country were to receive letters, signed by some republican as prominent in the management of the party as Dudley was during the campaign, advising the peisons to whom they were addressed to organize the scum of the population, known a- “floaters” in “blocks of five,” for the purpose of assassinating Harrison on inauguration day. Such a crime, if carried out, wo’d be hardly less terrible in its con sequences than the wholesale pollution of the ballot-box. Both crimes are of a kind that shake confidence in popular government. Does anybody supnose that Judge Woods would not find ample power in the statute his supplemental instructions have rendered nugatory in Dudley’s behalf to send the cowardly adviser of assassination to punishme- t? —~~ ' itr >i. ' - i - , Senators Tarpie and Voorhees voted against the Senate tar illabomination. On its Passage Mr. Voorhees submitted some general

remarks. He referred to the pro-! teemed manufacturers as ,< bearded babies, living in palaces, flashing with diamonds, sailing the seas in private yachts and careerinz over Europe on tallyho coaches,” and said th t was the eLss which had "dictated this abominable bill, line by line and schedule by schedule.” It was this class, he said, which had surrounded and bullied the republican national . onvention in Chicago. Monopoly had been master theree as it was here, and had enforced its bold and insatiable demands for loot and plunder in Chicago as it was doing here. — The country wo .Id take notice of the fact that the leaders of the republican party was working under the rod of a master, rnd that mazter was the spirit of monopoly. Senators on the other side should take warning that one extreme begot another. The cormorant greed and unsparing lust for plunder displayed by the were rapiply begetting an extreme public sentiment in the opposite direction. Conservative men were seriously aonsidering whether government revenue could not be justly secured by laying taxes on property rather than on the necessaries of life, and thus vipe out all the rankling injustices of the whole tariff system. K Public opinion traveled fast and far when stimulated by the spur of wr ng and crime.

N.Y. Times: The position taken by the Indianapolis Journal as to weight t a be give < to Jadge Woods’ remarkable interpretation of the law in Dudley’s case is mere “confession and * voidance.” The theory is that no charge of fraud can lie against the republican party unless it can be shown that in accordance with Dudley’s detailed instructions for bribery and his assurance that ample funds would be supplied, some particular “floater” sold his vote to one of Dudley’s 4 correspondents and was paid in Dudley’s money. If this be sound law, the sooner the law is changed the better. It is certairly not souud morals. Wh ther any such proof is brought forward or not there remains Dudley’s damning letter, written in his official capacity as treasurer of the republican national committee, pledging the money he controlled to the foul work he invited and directed.— Though not one vote was bought, though the money of the committee had been stolen, even stolen by Dudiev, or his agents in bribery to whom he promised it, the shame to the par*y and its responsibility would be the same. There is some speculation as to what Dudley will now do. 1 tis much more interesting and important to know what decent republicans, and chief among them, Mr. Harrisou, will do.
