Mr, Lamb would ridicule the- waving of the bloody shirt. Bot it will be waved just as long aa Mr. Lamb'a party in the south famishes the shirt

Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Texas, in a speech at Indianapolis, advised his hearers to arm themselves against United States marshals. The ex-gov-ernor and all of his party friends have not apparently learned the lesson taught by the war that the federal government is generally understood to represent a Nation with a big S.

Mr. Lamb frankly admits that he expeota Republicans to forego their party affiliations and vote for him yet he offers as his excuse for voting for Carlisle, the free trudt.-r, for speaker that the was the choice of his party. Let Mr. Lamb exhibit a slight regard for an independence of action, especially vi linn the vital interests of his constituents are at stake, before he asks men in ibe Republican parly to vote for him.

When Democratic campaign Bpt'ak ers ad viae their hearers in Terre Haute, who receive it with cheer?, to Mm against United States u.'arbhals, against the authority of the federal government, it is time to make a moat positive requisition for a force nl marshals, or United States troops if necessary, to utterly suppress any such treasonable tendencies. Perhaps our Democratic friends have the remnants of the order of the Knights of Golden Circle and want to reorganize.

Mr. Lamb denies that he deserted his colors and joined the free traders, quotes a speech he made in favor of American labor in which he said only that which every man in public life says and then elaborates hia objections to the present protective tariff. He gives every evidence of having experienced a change of heart about the time he joined the Morrison free traders, but being afraid to frankly acknowledge the fact makes a general denial, which is without weight when he himself furnishes conclusive proof that he does not now stand by the policy that has so vastly developed our city and section of country.

Judge (Jlampitt,

011

the same plat

form with Jthe Democratic candidate for the vice-presidency, who never said a word in favorof the Union cause, says he exhorts Democrats to go to the polls with pistols and resist the representatives of the national government. It was a gieat occasion for Mr. Hendricks. If he had been loyal enough, man enough, and had a particle of backbone he would have indignantly countermanded the admonition and declared in that eloquence which he is reputed to possess that under no circumstances must the representatives of the Nation be resisted by force. But no, it was the same man who said to the people of Indiana during the war that he would not fight for the Union and would not therefore aBk any one else to do so.

The audacity of Mr. Lamb's attack on the taritl policy of the government is something astounding. He blames that policy for creating a Burj.lus, extorting money from the people which is taken out of circulation and left idle in the trea&ury, a statement that haB time and again been shown to be without foundation. Then he proceeds to tell the farmer that two or three years ago he borrowed money at six per cent, and half as many bushels of wheat would pay the interest and principle as will now re deem the notes at 8 per cent, interest, all on account of the protective tariff. Within thofle two or three years the tariff' has been reduced. In other words, the very relief he advocates has been offered and Btill he endeavors to make tbe point that the lower price of wheat is caused by the tariff. If his idea is the right one the change that should have taken place in the two or three years, keeping up the price of wheat and a lowerd rate of interest, has been thwarted by the very reduction in the tariff' that he says ought to bring* about, better times for the farmer.1

Mr. Lamb persists in saying there are hundreds of millions of dollars of surplus in the treasury. He has modified his original assertion to the extent that one hundred and ninety odd millions are not part of the surplus, aa they represent gold and silver certificates which are in circulation, but insists that there is a surplus of nearly a quarter ot a million dollars. We insist that he again come down. Of the $240,000,000 to which he refers, all except $138,000,000 are in the treasury awaiting the demand of pensioners, army and navy officers for their pay and other like obligations which are past due aud the money lies in the treasury only awaiting the demand of those who are so justly entitled to it and for whom it was appropriated by congress, exactly as a manufacturer puts money in the bank to meet his pay roll. The $188,000,000 are kept on hand in accordance with the law as a matter of prudential administration to meet any possible demand for Bpecie by the redemption of greenbacks is in fact a part of the great scheme of resumption of Bpecie payments, which is to day everywhere acknowledged as one of the wisest acts of the Republican party of the many measures that party adopted in its grand record of paying the cost of a war brought on by Mr. Lamb's party. ___________

THE OHIO OFFICIAL BETU&NS.

The official returns of the Ohio election are all in and tbe footings completed by the secretary of state, as follows: For secretary of state, Robinson, Republican, 391,509 Newman, Democrat, 380,275 Morris, Prohibitionist, 9,857 Herald, Greenbaeker. 3,589. For supreme judge, Johnson, Republican, 392,917 Martin, Democrat, 378,963 Reseborough, Prohibitionist, 9,857 Grogan, Greenbaeker, 3,780. For member of the board of public works, Flickinger, Republican, 393,885 Benfer, Democrat, 376,802, Eirkendall, Prohibitionist, 9,004 Ogden, Greenbaeker, 3,527.

These figures show that the head of the ticket who naturally felt the effect of Republican disaffection on the liquor question and the candidate for judge of the supreme court who was regarded as one who would have to pass an opinion on the Scott law, while they had pluralities that showed large gains over 1883 still fell short of expressing the real change in party strength. Flickinger, the Republican candidate for member of the board of public works, was elected by a plurality of 17,088, several thousand in excess of the other candidate referred to. The

aggregate majorities of the Republican candidates for congress furnish a net plurality of over 19,518, which is about the right figure

the success when

the result is considered in its national significance.

BOOSE SHIEL SET EIGHT. The Typographical union of this city has issued a small paper named "Truth" the object of which is to inform workingmen that John Cleary, candidate for sheriff, James Cox candidate for county treasurer and Roger 8hiel candidate for treasurer of state are enemies of labor unions, the first two named because they will not make a pledge to refrain from giving to the Gazette, a "rat" office, any patronage of the offices for which they are candidates and the last named on the claim' that he aided the Western Union Telegraph Company in it« contest with the operators ft year ago. The Express merely desires to caution the public against the mistake regarding Mr. Shiel, who not only, did not aid the Telegraph company, but

WAS

a prime

mover in the citizens' meetings held in Indianapolis to expiecs sympathy with the operators. The reports of these meetings, as published in the daily papers, show that he made the motion on which the resolutions were adopted. The original misrepresentation of Mr. Shiel, as will be peen from the affidavit given below, had a bad motive, but other labor organizations should be warned against an innocent use, as we believe is the case with "Truth," of the charges. STATE OF INDIANA,)

MARION COUNTY, Come now before me John R. Rankin and E. A. Guthrie, and being sworn on their oaths, say that on the evening of the 22d day of September, 1884, they were in conversation with H. C. Deck, a Democrat, in front of the When clothing store, on the subject of the action of the Trades Assembly against Roger R. Shiel, Republican candidate for state treasurer. Said Deck remarked that a certain member of the Trades Assembly (not naming him) had been paid to posh the resolutions against Shiel through the assembly said Deok further Baid that he had heard a conversation between two men, in which one of them (a member of the Trades Assembly) complained because be had not received the pay he had been promised for pushing the resolutions through the assembly. Affiants further say that they are both members of Typograph ical Union No. 1, Indianapolis, Ind.

Notary Public,

A REMARKABLE INCIDENT.

One of the speakers at the Democratic wigwam, Friday night, and who apparently is a warm advocate of the mob and lynch law characteristic of the "solid south," was Judge Clampitt, of Illinois. He spoke after and in the presence of the Democratic candidate for vice president, Thomas A. Hendricks. He said in substance "As your chairman has told you, I had an humble part in the battle fought upon the soil of West Virginia, a few days ago, and can say that the victory there won has secured for us the sympathy of almost every state in the Union. The questions that present themst Ives are of great importance. One great question is whether the elements of liberty formed shall be changed or remain as our fathers in tended them—our fathers who perished in blood. One favorite doctrine of Republican orators is that America is a nation. They say that this republic is a unit and not a union. In thiB case the president would become a king in all but name. In denouncing the placing at the polls of United States deputy marshals, he said that they were thi ves and robbers who stood at the polls in Cincinnati at the time of the Ohio election with a pistol in one hand and a club in the other. There, he said, American citizens were shot down because they would not vote the Republican ticket. In reviewing and abusing General Grant's war record the speaker waB interrupted by Col. Bob Bunter, who said that he (Hunter) was a soldier under Grant and never knew a better, more honorable man. Continuing he

Baid

that in this free

country no party had a right to detail deputy marshals to stand at the polls with arms to preserve what is termed a "Free vote and fair count." "I do exhort you," said he, "to go to the polls early in the morning and

Btand

there until you know that every Democratic vote in your ward has been cast. Go with pistols in your pockets and don't let any deputy marshal interfere with your rights. Preserve your rights to vote, and we (presumably meaning the Democratic party) will see that you are protected." At this point cheer after cheer arose and the speaker retired. After the meeting was over, a party of men came up to the Gazette office, shouting for Jeff DaviB. The door of the office was opened, some of the men entered, and afterward left the place, tearing down the Chinese lanterns hanging at the front. One of these men went south on Fifth street, shouting for Jeff Davis. In this connection, we may remark that the Gazette's report of Judge Clampitt's speech, while it contained much of the fire-eating language, entirely omitted the advice to the Democrats to use revolvers in opposing the officers of the United States government

MISREPRESENTATION.

It has only been a few days Bince that the Express felt called upon to chide its contemporary, the Gazette, with finding many grievances with the Associated Press for sending one-Bided repots of Mr. Blaine's meetings to the principal newspapers of the country. The Gazette maintained that Jay Gould, the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Associated Press were combining to exaggerate and misrepresent the accounts of the meetings, because Mr. Blaine was a friend of the monopolists. The Express felt called upon to remark that the Gazette was the only paper in Terre Haute that followed to the extreme end the monopolistic plan of crushing labor by opposing a fair recompense for the labor of its employes, and as such it did not come with good grace for it to berate the Telegraph company and the Associated Press.

Still this

B&me

Gazette does not hee-

itate to use the Associated Press to make a most gross misrepresentation in a report of the Hendricks' affair, it can not be termed anything else owing to the disgraceful occasion which elicited even the reprobation of Mr. Hen-

dricks himself as stated in yesterday's Express. The Gazette is a sort of a sub-subscriber to the Associated Press here yet its proprietors have personally misused their relations to the association to send from thit city grossly exaggerated accounts i.t political meetings and other occasions of a Democratic color. The Express has been courteously respectful for the excitement of these occasions, and only once called the attention of the general manager to these violations of the relationship. The Express was besought to be lenient with its erring friends, who were thereafter to be confined to sending reports of newt item lot-af-ternoon papers only. Yet there was sent from the Gazette office Friday night a moat highly colored account of the Hendricks meeting in which among other things it was stated that there were 4,000 matchers in line. Quarreling about the number of persons at a meeting or in a procession is beneath the dignity of a reliable newspaper. We will not show by figures, as we did yesterday, that there were only 2,112 in line, but will take the Gazette's account of the next afternoon, in which it is claimed that there were only between 2,2fl0 and 3,000 in line. When the persons who fixed upon these figures are the same ones who sent tbe Associated Press report the fact becomes apparent that they felt at ease in sending to a distance an exaggerated estimate that they would not impose upon the readers of their own paper. There are many such instances of imposture in the dispatch of Friday night, and we go into detail regarding the one glaring feature for the purpose of warning our citizens against such ef-

Is to misrepresent them.

it is not generally known that during the next presidential term four justices of the supreme court will pass the statutory age of 70 years, which entitles them to retirement with salary. Their names are:

Chief-Justice Waite, born 29th November, 1816. Mr. Justice Miller, bom 5th April, 1816.

Mr. Justice Field, born 4th November, 1816. Mr. Justice Bradley, born 14th March, 1815.

It is probable that the uezt president will appoint the successors of all these judges. A tremendous responsibility will therefore rest in the hands of Grover Cleveland or James G. Blaine. Is it safe to put the supreme court of the United States in the hands of a Democratic president? Do we want Calhounism—state sovereignty—enthroned in that tribunal?—[Buffalo Express.

Major Calkins will resume his canvass on Monday. His law partner, Hon. A. C. Harris, will accompany him, and they will speak at the following places: At Vincennes in the afternoon and Evansville evening of October 27 at Jeffersonville, afternoon and New Albany evening, October 28 Madison, October 29 Indianapolis, for Germane, at Mozart hall, October 80, and Peru, Ootober 31, returning to Indianapolis in time to participate in the Logan demonstration at night.

"I shall cast my first presidential vote next month," said a young man as he stood is the depot at Quincy, Mass. "And you will cast your first vote for Cleveland," said an Independent. "My father was killed in the war, responded the young man in a tone which caused the Independent to slink away.

Mr. Hendrioks is the "continental" blunderer in this campaign. How many votes does he expect to gain by ridiculing the Republican utterances against polygamy contained in the platform of that party?—[Boston Transcript (Anti-Blaine.)

Hon. K. B. F. Peirce has made two or three very effective speeches in Parke county this campaign and has done great good. He is a persuasive speaker and his meetings will have fine effect for the Republican cause.—fRockville Republican.

Mr. Hendricks, the favorite Democratic son of Indiana, cannot command it [enthusiasm] in his own state. His meetings have been large, but they were simply the gathering of the county in which he happened to speak. The Btate has thus far failed to give him a genuine ovation.—[Chicago Tribune. This fact was well exemplified here night before last. There was a big crowd, but instead of enthusiasm for Hendricks there was positive disrespect shown him by his Democratic audience, which would not give him their atten tion, and he made only a few remarks after much time had been consumed in trying to make the people listen to him. Then, after he had begun talking, John Lamb was discovered, and everyone shouted for him.

A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune from here reports Judge John T. Scott as saying that it was no use for the Republicans to work, "as the Democrats had three dollars where the Republicans had one and could buy all the votes they wanted." Is this the "change" the Democratic orators say the people want? Such talk is a reflection upon the people, but it explodes the insincerity of the party that is continually claiming that it is the one into whose control the people will put the affairs of government because a "change" is wanted.

Mr. Lamb is free to admit that he was elected two years ago by Republican votee, and ho is quite sanguine now that Republicans are going to elect him this time. Mr. Lamb does well to do all his boasting previous to the election, for after that he will be repenting in sackcloth and ashes.—Warren Republican.

If Grover Cleveland had annexed a request to "barn this letter" to his private note to Mrs. Beecher he would have shown more wisdom than he has.—[Chicago Tribune.

I know something of the governor's work, and I sao that there is no necessity for him to sit at his desk in Albany and pretend to be busy. He must do it, however, for neither he nor his keepers dare to let him speak. No, he says nothing, but he goes to Brooklyn and eats beef.—Gen. Palmer's speech in New York Monday night.

Can't Do the W ork.

"I don't believe I'll vote for Cleveland after all. "Why?" "When you hire a man to do a days work and he can't do it, you discharge him don't you "Yes." "Cleveland says he spends eighteen hours a day at the Albany executive mansion. Now then it only takes a little figuring to reach the conclusion that he wouldn't get through with the duties of one day at the Washington executive mansion inside of six months, and I believe in having competent men when^you pay full wages."

How We Guess on Elections. "I am very free from party enthusiasm in forming my opinion on the outlook for the election." 'Well, what do you think about New York?" "I believe Cleveland win carry it." "What makes you think so?" "A number of things. For instance, I was talking with a Republican from Utica, who said 1,500 Republicans in thatplace will vote for Cleveland." "Suppose a Democrat from Utica had told you that 1,500 Democrats in his town would vote for Blaine?" "Why, I wonld think he lied."

Once the late Judge Black, in examining a witness who bad been in the army, said: "Come, soldier, tell us what you know about this matter."

The vain fel low was crushed.

A detective]gives the surprising information that there is no better place to look for criminals than in a library. In order to keep posted in criminal news the thieves carefully scan the files of daily newspapers of the large cities. Once an important arrest of a jewelry thief was made in this way. A man who spent several days in reading an account of a jewelry robbery ap peared so interested that he was arrested and found to be guilty. "The Daily Butlerite has flopped over to the Democrats," remarked the exchange editor to the managing editor of the Republican organ. "It was bought. Any paper that changes its politics at this time in the campaign is always bought." "I made a mistake about that paper," observed the exchange editor a few minutes later. "It has come over on our side." "Well, that alters matters. Write an editorial and say that we admire independence in the press above all things."

The Fool and His Wager. Cleveland Leader. A sulky bedstead with small flags, containing a very fat man and drawn by a man of slender proportions, went through the Square to Lake View Park at 3 o'clock yesterday. The portly man was John Stofft, who keeps a saloon on Ontario street, and the steed was A. A. Selzer, an employee of the planing mill of I. Sturtevant & Co. Before election Stofft and Selzer bet on their respective favorite candidates, Foran and Burnett. 8elzer lost, and yesterday fulfilled the conditions of the bet. Stofft guided him with harness reins, and flourished a formidable whip. Deputy Sheriff Meyer will be carried to the top of the old court house in a derrick bucket at noon today and will slide down the rope. He bet Depnty Sheriff Zucker that Sawyer would be elected.

"Well, my first huBband, Tom, was mate on the ill-fated Red Fawn, and we were both blown up with her in the terrible explosion of'59. I saw poor Tom's head blown off and the next thing I knew I was flying through tbe air higher than the smoke stacks. As I came down I passed Jack Harner, the second cook, and he called out to me: 'Mrs, McCray, will you marry me 'I'm agreed to it when I land, Jack,' says I, for I knew straight enough that I was a widow, They fished me out of the water as sound as a dollar, and when Jack recovered from a broken rib we were married in the first town we landed at

The B. A Red Book for Indiana is ready for distribution, and in more than one respect is the most valuable of any of the editions hitherto based upon this state. As haB always been tbe rule, the forwarding of a stamp to to G. K. Lord, Baltimore, is all that is necessary to secure a copy, and in fact the only way, as the Red Book issues are all for mall circulation. The present is replete with political statistics and condensed data, not only as regards the latest presidential, state, and congressional elections in this state, but relating as well te elections since admission into the Union. It would be difficult to imagine a more complete showing of past results in the state, or a more neauy put together and printed little book.
