The Democratic Sentinel.

The law concerning the appointment of doctors to examine pensioners required that democratic as well as republican physioians be selected ,to serve on these medical boards When “blocks-of-five” Dudley was commissioner of pensions, Mr. Harrison desired a place for a republican friend that, under the law, shou d be filled by a democrat, and wrore to Dudley that he (Harrison did not mean to respect this feature of the law, “because,” he went ou to say: “I am not acquainted with any Democratic doctors fit to serve.” Ben is nothing if notjpn egotistic damphool. We all remember when he went over the state shonting: “I am glad lam not a democrat!” After “Biue Jeans” had wiped the political earth with him he was glad, too. No wonder “grandaddy’s hat” so completely conceals him from the pub--1 0 view: he is so exceedingly small.

PROTECTION PARADOXES.

New York World. The treatment in the protection organs, of this nation’s “commercial progress,” is characteristic. They claim the oredit of the increased exports due ohiefly to short crops abroad coincident with large crops here. And hoving passed a law avowedly to curtail imports—to,“prevent the flooding |of the home markets with the produots of foreign labor,”—they now have the ooolness to boast of “merchandise imports into the United States much the largest in value ever known in any calender year. ” The paradoxes of protection are stupendous. National Democrat. The Bepublioans are quite confident lhat the remission of the tax on sugar hns reduced the price to American consumers, and, therefore, is an advantage not to foreigners, but ourselves. And now the president is threatening by proclamation, to reimpose the tax on sugar from s igar from certain countries that haven’t done certain things that we want. Are we going to tax ourselves by way of punishing Venezuela?

MONON SHOWING.

For the siv months ending Dec. 31,1891, the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago earned gross, $1,568,668; expenses, si,. 095,570, net earnings, $4”3,098. Deducting fixed charges of $448,609 a surplus of $24,489 r maiued. This shows an increase in both net and gross incomes and President Thomas says the property is in a greater state of efficiency than ever. The recent i. sue of bonds—s3,2oo,ooo was all sold, the>a roceeds being expanded in providing increased facilities and equipment. —lndianapolis Sentinel. Monday night, at Albany, N. Y., John Boyd Thatchers, a World’s Fair Commissioner, once an ardent Cleveland man, but who became a Hill convert, was defeated for the presidency of the Young Men’s Democratic Club, the leading political organization in that city, by Congressman Charles Tracey,[Cleveland Democrat, by a vote of 78 to 9. Evidently th Democratic mass of that section are not in harmony with the mid-winter convention nor Tam many arrogance. - James G. Blaine, jr., wants to get married again. James G. Blaine, sr., sho’d see well to it that the young “chip" does not permit himself to be seduced.

A GOLDEN NUGGET.

■ A strange novelty is this golden table corn, with its beautiful rich cream color. It is claimed by those who know it that it is very sweet, early and tender, land a superior corn. We notice Vick reeom mends it very highly. The Floral Guide, which comes to ns bringing boqu< tof Carnations on the front cover, with a splendid bunch of Brilliant Poppies on the back, gives full description of this new corn, which'is only 15(cents a packet. Vick’s Floral Guide is worthy a place in the home of anyone who expeots to make a garden the coming spring. By all means send ten cents to James Vick’s Sou’s Rochester, N. Y.. for the Guide, and you oan dednet this amount from ytrar first order. It will pay you well.

RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA FRIDAY MARCH II 1892

James Sun-struck Blaine has written a letter in defense of his son Jim, and the only point he makes is that the boy “is a chip of the oldblook.”

On the heels of the Albany, N. Y., favoring but not instructing for Hili, comes assurances that tbe complexion of delegates to conventions in Georgia, Kansas and Rhode Island, already chosen, is such, that those States will 'instruct for Cleveland. It ia very evident too, judging from the tone of county conventions so far held, Pennsylvania, the solid East, Northwest, and al nost solid Middle and South will instruct for the same gentleman. Mr. Cleveland declines io be interviewed on the presidential situation. He seems at present to be less worried over the presidential possibilities of the future than any other man in Ametioa. Mr. Cleveland has always believed that the American people are thoroughly capable of settling these matters for themselves. Lake County News: R. Gregory and W. A. MoVey were at Ohioago yesterday and had a consultation with Hon. D. H. Patton, who said that he had prepared a brief, with data and statistics, to be submitted to the committee with a view to securicg n appropriation for improvement of the Calumet to the, forks, and from there Hammond. Mr. Patton has to oombat the report of the government engineer, yet he hopes to seoure a part of the $225,000 for which he is asking.

Mouticelio Herald (Republican): Judge Reynolds is said to be the only candidate in his district for the democratic nomination of appellate judge. This is a little singular, when it is considered that the district int ludes Indianapolis. His boom seems to be well organized and he is receiving favorable mention from papers evtn as far away as Evansville and Wayne. It cannot be saidof Judge Reyn, olds that he is achronic office seeker. We believe his highest ambition hns been to rise in his profession, and whatever els e may be said of him, his perseveranoe in his chosen calling has been to his credit.

Represonialive Bryan of Nebraska one of the leading members' of the ways and means committee says: “Mr. Cleveland is perhaps the most popular man in the United Statea; that is, he has the largest number of personal followers. f Sojbo love him because of his position on the tariff only, * * * and some- probably the most—because he is honest and has always had the courage of his convictions. People admire moral courage in a man, even they do not agree with him in opinion. ’’

SENATOR TURPIE’S ELOQUENCE

The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel, referring to the speech of Senator Turpie on the DuboisClaggett contest, says: During the consideration of theDuboisClaggett contest to-day Senator Turpie made one of the finest speeches ever heard in the Senate. This may seem an extravagant assertion, but it is borne out by the almost unanimous opinion of the Senators, both democrats and republicans, who listened to it. Senator Felton, of California, is enthusiastic over it. He said to-night: “I have heard a good many fine speeches, but I am free to say that by Senator Turpie in the Senate to-day, for logic, diction, style and manner of delivery, was never equaled by anything I ever heard in my life. I met Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, in the hall offthe capitol to-day and he said: If you want to hear a fine speech, go in and hear Turpie. He is speaking on the DuboisClaggett case. I followed his advice and for nearly an hour was intently listening to every word that fell from Judge Turpie’s lips. Unusual attention was paid to him by senators on both sides of the chamber Every available seat in the vicinity waß occupied and the galleries listened with rapt attention.

CLEVELAND’S INTELLECT.

He is One of the Ablest in the Discussion of Principles of Government. [Boston Herald (Ind.)j It has been difficult for many men who are opposed to Grover Cleveland in politics to accept the fact that he is a man of very high distinction in intellectual qualities. Mr. Cleveland came so unexpectedly into public life of the first prominence, and there was so little claim made for him at first as possessed of extraordinary menal endowments, that there was a reluctance to look upon him as more than an accident in the presidency. His letter accepting the nomination originally to that office was in some respects a disappointment, probably because Mr. Cleveland did not fully trust himself to write it. But since Grover Cleveland entered the presidency he has taken rank as one of the ablest men in the discussion of the principles of government, and the measures by which they are put into practical operation, of his day. He never speakß without having something to say worth hearing, and he is much above the average of men who had reputations before the country had heard of him in his treatment of important topics. We say this as a criticism of thought, method of reasoning and felicity of style solely, and aside from sympathy with his political prepossessions As a specimen of dignity of thought and manner', this paragraph from his 22d of February oration at Ann Arbor, in which he treats of sentiment among the people, is worth nothing: “I speak to-day in advocacy of this sentiment. If it is not found in extreme and exclusive mental culture, neither is it found in the busy marts of trade, nor in the confusion of bargaining, nor in the mad rush after wealth. Its home is in the soul and the memory of m n. It has to do with the l moral sense. It reverences traditions, loves ideas. It cherishes the names and the deeds of heroes, and it worships, at the shrine of patriotism. I plead forjit because there is a sentiment which in some features is distinctively American'that we should never allow to languish.” The Republican yesterday contained a bid from W. W. Gilman for the congressional nomination. Mr G. believes more in much speaking than he does in the truthfulness ofihis statements. He seems to think that extravagant declarations are neeeanary to establish his orthodoxy, and will oover op his total lack of qua’lifications ter imposition.

‘A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

JUDGE REYNOLDS—OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

Evansville Courier. The members of the bar]and Demoorats of this district, will present the name of the Hon. Alfred Reynolds, of Monticello, to the Demootatio state convention for the nomination to one of the judgeships for the court of appeals. Judge Reynolds is well-known throughout Northern Indiana as one of the most accomplished lawyers of the state. He is now serving on the oirouit bench, where his serviceshave shown his eminent qualifications for any judiciary position. It is by selection of men of ability and integrity that the standard of the judiciary of our state is to be maintained, and among all those whose names have been mentioned for this post of honor and responsibility none oan claim any advantages over this abl e and oonsoientious lawyer and worthy oit zen. There seems to’be no doubt of his nomination and it will be a pleasure to support a man whose name will give such strength and oharacter to the ticket.

Kokomo Despatch. It is with pleasure that we learn that Judge Alfred Reynolds, of Montioello, will be a candidate for judge of the appellate court before the democratic state convention on April 21. D. A. Woods has practiced in Judge Reynolds’ court and asserts that there is no man in Indiana his superior in the knowledge of the law. He was for many years a praotitioner before all the oourts in Indiana. He commanded a very large piaotioe by rea on|of his commanding abilities. He is now in the prime of life and if nominated and elected to the appellate court would at once take rank with the first-olass men whom Indiana has honored with judicial positions.

Fort Wayne Sentinel. Judge Reynolds, of Monticello, who is now judge of the Thirty-ninth judioial circuit, is a candidate for the nomination of appellate judge in the Third district. Judge Reynol s is a lawyer of distinguished ability and during his service as judge of the Thirty-ninth district has given satisfaction to both parties. His no mination would add strength to the tioket and his election would be an hoi. or to the bench. Fort Wayne Journal. Judge A W. Reynolds, of Moptioello, is announced as a democratic candidate for appellate judge from the Third district. Judge Reynolds is a very able lawyer, and it is suffici nt proof of his populsriiy to know that he is the only candidate from his district. Lafayette Journal. Judge A. Yv . Reynolds, of White county, is a candidate for appellate judge from this district. Judge Reynolds is one of the ablest lawyers in (his part of tbe state, and if emoted would bo an Honor to the bench It is highly gratifying to us to note these good words of a gentleman whom wo have intimatoU known for the past thirty years. 10 o r personal knowledge Judge Rovnold as never been an office-seeker. Boon after being admitted to the bar he pressed by bis friends for tbe prosecutorship in (ho t en strong opposition di< - trie: aud was elected. Later—agai 1 with out his seeking he.was placed in nomination tor inutor, R. 8. Dwiggins, then of Rensselaer, b< ing his opponent, and although tho district was largely'ropublican came within a few votes of an eleotion. Studious and persevering he acquired an extensive practice. Placed in nomination for the position he now fills he was triumphantly elected. And we predict the same result should the Democratic State Convention name him for the placo desired by his friends.

CONGRESSMAN D. H. PATTON

What He is Doing for the Calumet Region —An Able and Timely Argument Showing Why the River Should be Improved . tFrom the South Chicago Daily Calumet, j On the inside of this issue of the Daily Calumet we gin our readers the written argument submitted by Col. D. H. Patton. of the Tenth congressional district of Indiana, to the committee on harbors and rivers, showing the necessity of continuing the improvement of the Calumet river, and asking for an appropriation of $225,000f0r this purpose. The argument is a strong one, and it shows conclusively that Col. Patton has not been asleep since elected to congress from the Tenth disirict. The editor of the Dailv Calumet had the pleasure of meeting Col. Patton on the occasion of his recent v sit to the w rld’s exposition site and found him fully alive to the needs of the peojr le of the Calumet region. The dolonel frankly admitted that he had no idea of the importance of this region until he began to look it up, and he expressed a desire to pay this section a visit at no distant dav. The interests of this whole region—portions of Indiana and Illinois—are so closely allied that the state line is merely an imaginary one, which, while it divides the states, does not separate the commercial interests of the people, and any improvements made on the Calumet river whether in Illinois or Indiana, help both sections alike. In trying to secure an appropriation for the Calumet river, Col. Patton is working alone. Be has not had the assistance of a single Chicago congressman, and does not expect it. The owners of elevators, warehouses and docks along the Chicago river or creek, see that the day is not far distant when po t Calumet will have » larger trade than the Chicago river, and the vision of empty and rotting warehouses and elevators along the river bank is not a pleasant one to contemplate. It will cost $50,000,000 to deepen and widen Chicago river, while the Calnmet river is 200 feet wide and a depth of twei ty-five feet can be easily obtained. Wecannot too highly commend the zeal and intelligence displayed b> Col. Patton in trying to secure an appropriation, and while he may not get the entire amount asked, he will get enough to continue the diedsing tin- season. The colonel thinks veiy favor bly of the improvement of Wolf lake harbor and will no donot at least secure an o der for i s survey at this session of congress. Wolf ake and Cal- . umet river improvement go han 1 in hand. We hope ho citizens of Hanjmond, Whiting. East ' hicago and the Indiana town- which will l e benefitted # bv the im nrovement of the Calumet ri er and Wolf lake harbors, ill sufficiently appreciate the good work done by Col. Patton to help return him to coi gress this fall. Though a new member he h s shown marked ability as a worker and as a man who is determined to serve his constituents. Congressman Patton expects to visit this section again, possibly in June, and desires to look over the field personally. We*assur«d him that the mprovement association of South Chicago would gladly j welcome him and s e that every facility was afforded him for e trip up the Calnmet river, eto. Our people can appreciate a man who works for their interests, no i matter what his politics or where he comes | from.

THE RECORD OF TAMMANY HALL.

[lndianapolis Sentinel.] The St. Louis Republic of Sunday contained an able and impressive article over threo columns in length on Tammany hail. This artiole i 1 1 strong and unquestionably truthful description of the character, purposes and methods of the Tammany sooioty. It shows that Tammany hall is a democratic organization only in name; that it is maintained, not for the purpose of promoting the interests of the democratic party, but purely as a business enterprise; that there is no sentiment whatever about it; that it will trade off a national candidate auy time to win a local eleotion; that it has repeatodly opposed the national and state tickets of the democratic party, and that its assumption of a right to diotato the national tioket and policies of the democracy is simply monstrous. It is further shown that Tammany hall, so far as action goes, consists of but four men—Messrs. Croker, Grant, Gilroy and Cookran. “A great notional party,” says the writer, “which calls itself demooratio, is calmly asked to hand over Jts fortunes into the keeping of a merely local oiganization consisting praotically of but four men, 1 nd these four men have the impudence to say to the demoorats of the United States; .‘You must nominate for the presidency a man who will bo pleasing to us. What you may think is a matter of small oonoern. You must do as we say.’ Perhaps assurance could go further. It never has gone further." We quote further:

"Tammany hall is not a political organization at nil. It is a businoss organization, and its business is the manufacture and distribution of “pulls” and tfco feeding and olaJhing of its members. Democracy is a good name to trade with, but like other valid trade-marks it is not closely descriptive. It means nothing on the lips of a Tammany heel* r, or a Tammany ohieftaifi either, for that matter. Tho tariff, silver, state’s rights—the wigwam knows no more about them than (to quote the words of the ominent Regent Wang) “a cat dees about dummy whist." So far as Tammany has any views on the tariff they would naturally be In favor of it, for tbe tariff means oustom bouses anil custom houses means provender. Tho result is that while tho demoorats all over the land are fighting the grimmest battle against thoir politidrl adversaries, sparing no effort to win a deseived victory, Tammany is negotiating a deal with tho looal rep blican bosses, and when election day comes it brings a democratic disaster and a Tammany triumph. Have men become so enamored of treason that they are ready to bow down and worship tho traitors? Is it a pleasant thing to bo stabbed in tho back at each national election? Is it not a little wearisome to democrats to find that all their efforts are nullified, and that, no matter how many votes they may oast in other stateß, the election is to be decided for them by n bargain nndsaloiu Now York City between Diok Croker and Matt Quay?" There is .0 doubt, as is set forth in the Repnblio article, that when Tammany supports tho democratic ticket loyally Now York is not a doubtful state. Tammany or ntrols 109,000 votes, and whenever a Tammany man asserts that Now York state is doubtful he impugns the party loyalty of these 100,000 voters. I f Tammnny had always been in line with tho democratic party it is not likely that the republicans would have carried Now York ft r many years past. “The difference between Tammany and the mugwumps is,” savs the Repnblio writer, “that Tammany bolts its pnrty when it makes a good notnination while the mugwumps bolt their p rty when it makes a bad nomination.”

A few historical facte will illuminato Tnmmany’s record. Tammany fought Mr Tildcm until the time came when he was powerless, and prevented his nomination in 1880, when it would havs made democratic success absolutely sure. Mr. Tilden was set aside to please Tammany and Gen. Hancock was nominated only to be Vtraved by Tammany hall for the local spoils of New York City. Mr. Cleveland, in 1881, was nominated over the Jmost determined opposition of Tammany, and was elected hv a narrow margin despite his betrayal bv that organization in Now York Citv In 1888 Mr. Cleveland was sacrificed in ew York and Brooklyn in the interest of Hugh J. Grant and David B. Hill. Going back to 1879 it will be remembered that Lucius B. Bobinson, an able democrat and irreproachable public official, was defeated fer governor because .John Kelly organized a Tammany bolt and ran for governor, receivinglsome eighty thousand vote* this means Mr. A. B. Cornell, the republican candidate, was eleoted gtvarnor of New York, land for several years the state remained in republican bands. This is the record of the or anization which proposes to come to Chioago and dictate to the national democracy whom itl shell nominate—or at least whom it shall not nominate for president of the United States!

We have no doubt the Democratic National Convention will act wisely in the seleotion of standard bearers for the National Democratic ticket. Should it deem the nomination of Mr. Cleveland too risky in View of the situation in New York, a good Western man will be ahosen. With the people-at large Mr. Cleveland is vastly the most popular of any namedand whether he can make up with the masses what damage he may sustain thro’ the opposition of Tammany. The fact is well known that Tammany on different occasions, aftor profuse professions of satisfaction over the actions of conventions has gone secretly to work to knife the nominees, and it should be well considered whether it would not be better to bid such organizations do their worst; heed no demands they make; apply the principle that an open enemy is more to be trusted than a false friend; place none ,bnt true democrats on guard, and go to work with a will to offset and upset the machinations of open and secret foes.

It is quite probable that you may need the servioes of a physioianisoine day; you can postpone the time indefinitely by keeping your blood pure and your systfm invigorated through the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Prevention is better than oure. uroid newspapers are said to make valuable anti-moth wrappers forfurH and winter clothing, the ink upon them being nearly as repulsive to all kinas of vermin as camphor or ooal-tar paper. They are likewise good to lay on oarpets for a like purpose. Being impermeable to air they also form excellent envelopes for vessels containing ioe and fresh liquors.

Usoful Information for PoliticlaiiH. “Ofthc-Gotting” is tho title of a volume on the practical plumes of politics, which lias been very highly commended by the press of the country. It discusses politics as a business and gives a vast of amount of helpful information on the subject, Tho Chicago Daily fc's .' vs of it: “'1 lie questions are ■ ) .iM«>d sensibly, brightly nod wim U|.|>'in'iit wide know ledgeol' fit - topic, i. ■ • iiO«k will be oppruri’d.ed bv pui. ii'i'jre, every u here. ” The L-aii.sviiie Tinwn sats of it tlust ‘•it contains all Hint n. ought to, not a word too inueli, and throughout the style is terse, crisp and straightforward. ” The Vobirrui a'so fully discusser the requirements of the eivil service, and regnrdo j ilm feature of it The Indianapolis Newa says: “The seeker after o ice will find here practical information that it will he money in his pocket 1.0 know, whether he is going tp he a candidate for council, something higher, or an applicant to the Civil Service Board for cilice. We de not know of any other place where so good an idea of the civil service can be found as here. The author of ‘Office-Getting ’ takes it for granted that his readers know nothing of the requirements of the civil service (a fair assumption), and on that basis tells what to do to get positions under the federal law. Specimen examination questions are given in all of the governmental departments. The quality of the book is high,” The book is undoubtedly one that every person actively interested in politics should read. It is artistically printed, and is bound in leatherette. The Bowen-Merrill Company, of Indianapolis, will send it to any address, postage paid, on receipt of one dollar.
