WHO AAE DEMOCRATS

In speech by Robert Ingereoll some time ago, ho was interrupted by some one Vn his audience with live question, why he was so opposed to the Democratic party. He immediately replied by saying: "I nm opposed to the Democratic party, and will tell you why. Every state that seceded was a Democratic state, Every ordinance of secession that was drawn, was drawn by a Democrat. Every man that endeavored to tear the old flag from the heaven that enriches it, was a Democrat. Every enemy this ffreat Republic ha* had for the last twenty years has been a Democrat. Every man that shot Union soldiers was a Democrat. Eyery man thai starved Union soldiers, and refused them, in the extremity of death, a crust, was a Democrat. Every man that loved slavery better than liberty was a Demo crat The man that assassinated Abraham Lincoln was a Democrat. Every man that sympathised with the assassin, every man that was glad the noblest president ever elected was assassinated, was a Democrat Every man that wanted the privilege of whipping another mart to make him work for him for nothing and pay hint in lashes on his back was a Democrat Every man that raised blood hounds to pursue human beings, was a Democrat Every man that clutched from shrieking shuddering, crouching mothers, the bab#s from their breasts and sold them into slavery, was a Dcmocrat

Every man that impaired the

Every man that Wept ove? the corpse of slavery was a Democrat Every man that cursed Lincoln because he issued the proclamation of emancipation, was a Democrat Every man who believed that aay state could go out of the Union at its pleasure, entry man who believed that the gracd fabric of the American government could be made to crumble instantly into dn#t at the touch of treason, was a Democrat, Bvcrf man that helped to bum orphan asylum* In the city of New

But look aiittle further.

For frtrty years of its infamous life the Democratic piirty taught tnat it was divine—God's institution.

Why Should There Be a Change! One of the chief campaign argument* of the Democrats is the cry that there ought to be a change in the Admimstrar tion of the Government Why this is aecwjsary they fail to Explain. If there beneficence in ehatt^e, where is it?

If by change Democrats mean no more than that Republicans should be put out and democrat? pu& in, voters will make inquiries as to the fitness and merits of the two parties which wilt nM be to the advantage the Deinoomcy. But if the Desmocrate nwan more than aohange of mo.a, if they mean that the policy ol the Government and the laws enacted by the Republicans ought to be changed* the next question is, Precisely what poHcy and what law* are they aiming at? If any potftifeai revolution Is ireeded tnuif in this directioo. No tnem change erf officers, notmg short ai overtornitig of th« poliw and laws enacted by the Repaid tk^ns, would in any decree alter mi obndltloa ol affiwrs tofaraa they afifect the people hi largi, in their political t^hts or their tndna^rial interests.1 What change Is it the Democrats prt-:

Wm. H. Englitih^s Business,

The Democratic candidate for Vice-i Preddetit is what is known as a moneyShaAlIJftlfe hto ^rown rich by foreclosing cot-throat mort^aaes and Tbuying up property at tax-awes, by which he socured interest.pt the rate of twenty-five per pent, per ,annum. The Cincinnati CovMnerciol publishes several columns of matter made tip of the list of mortgages foreclosed by English, the SherifFs deeds Issued to him and his tax deeds. He has brought suit for foreclosure, mostly within the past three years, in 183 cases, the defendants in many instances being women. The recoras of Marion County, Indiana, show about one hundred lots for which English has Sheriff's deeds also about a nundred deeds from foreclosure of mortgages also hundreds of tax deeds, -the amount paid on city lots ranging from §4 jupward. In all about 800 pieces of property. The correspondent who went over the records says: "In searching still further I found another curious circumstance in1 that 'hardly ever1 did Mr. English, when buying under the hammer, bid the full amount of his mortgage, thus leaving an individual judgment against nearly every one of his unfortunate creditors, and in this particular he mav be regarded as an improvement

was satisfied with his pound of flesh, but his Hoosier prototype not only exacted that, but took precautions to secure another slice should the patient survive the operation of the Sheriff's knife, and give indications of a second growth."

Bieler, a German harness-mftker, bought two lots for'82,200 of James Frank in Englishes addition. Alter paying $1,600 it was found that English had a mortgage on the whole addition- English refused to release Bieler's lot, although offered extra pro rata. In the meantime English secured Bieler's last two notes, which Bieler declined to pay unless he was also allowed to pay his part of the mortgage which was not due till 1880English foreclosed on the lots, bid them in himself and secured a personal judgment against Bieler of $1,000. So English got his lots back at less than he sold them for and then demanded Si,000 more from his victim. Mr. Charles W. Moody, formerly a prominent druggist, said: ..

I accordingly bought ten acres south of town from B. P. Heffgen for &860 per acra, ,and paid on the pronem- f4..W0, leaving two flrst-morteage notes of 11,000 each yet unpaid.

We do not understand why an open' letter should be thought necessary to explain that David l)avia had "oome out for Haneook."
