NINE of Judge Greshams decisions have been reversed by the U. S. Supreme Court in succession. Gen. Harrison was right when he did not appoint Gresham to the Supreme bench. Gresham was a poor Judge, he always played to the galleries and paid too little attention to the in: law. It is a little tough though for the fe Supreme Court to show his poor judge­

s''ment

in every case, now that he is

Cleveland's right hand man.

GOVERNOR MATTHEWS is to be commended for his prompt and efficient action in calling out the State militia. It & has prevented seriou rioting, burning I^and destroying property, and dynamiting with its consequent loss of life and prosf^ perity in the counties of the Indiana coal fields. We believe that all men are entitled to a fair, living price for an honest day's work and under no circumstances .should men be crowded down until they cannot support their family comfortably and give their children an opportunity 4or securing an education. Some laws rshould be passed which prevent greedy -capital from crowding wages too low and workmen will have to guard themselves from ruinous competition as that also re'"duces wages. State boards of arbitration "would be an improvement on present conditions. kx Vc xJZ%

THERE are 2952 voting precincts in Indiana.

THE Cleveland Club, Democratic, at Indianapolis, has disbanded. It is certainly tough times when a democratic club named in honor of the President can not stand the times his administration brings.

THE Rushville Jacksonian is sure there are not many Andrew Jackson Democrats in Congress. In an article which we reprint elsewhere, the Jacksonian expresses itself as heartily ashamed of the Democratic record.

A HOKE SMITH "pension spy" has been over in Henry county recently. He was beaded westward and pretending to be an agent selling water-gates. The old soldiers will keep an eye on the spies, on Hoke Smith and on Hoke's master, Grover Cleveland.

ORE GON went Republican on Monday by a handsome majority. Electing a Rebublican Governor, Lord, other state officers and two Congressmen. The Republicans had as many votes as the Democrats and Populists combined. Tke Populists hsd many more than the Democrats. The legislature is Republican on joint ballot.

THE sugar scandal is now pretty thoroughly fastened on the Cleveland administration. Carlisle wrote the sugar paragraph in the bill, and also visited the Senate Committee at the Capitol on Sunday. Senator McPherson, of New Jersey acknowledged to making $1500, by arise in sugar stocks. He has had a brokers office in Wall street and speculated in stocks right along.

Some Advice to the Candidates for Republican Nominations.

There is an old saying that advice is cheap, but as people only need take it for what it is worth no one need kick. As the chances for Republican success in Hancock county continues to brighten the number of candidates increases and the contest waxes warmer. While this is the case, it behooves every man to make a vigorous, a thorough, and an energetic contest to secure his own nomination, but he should never make the mistake of abusing or maligning another candidate, either for the office he wants or any other office. Let each candidate present his own strong points, and then the delegates can see what men are best fitted for the offices and would make the strongest candidates. No man need think he can make his own case stronger by speaking against an opponent, it only hurts the speaker. We believe each Republican candidate has been treating his opponents for the nomination fairly, but give the above advice so that none may forget himself when the fight gets warmer near the finish. It is a fair and open contest, in which every Republican in the county was entitled to enter if he wanted to, either early or late in the fight, and no one hag a right to say, "I and I alone have the best right to be a candidate.''

Knowing that all have a right to ask for the nomination let the contest be carried on earnestly, fairly and manfully and every candidate and his friends fully determined that no matter who secures the nomination, the ticket shall have their active and most enthusiastic support. With this feeling Republican success is not only possible, but probable this fall. No matter who the successful contestants may be, let the utmost harmony prevail and all work unitedly and vigorously for the success of the ticket.

To The Delegates.

The men who are delegates to the ceunty convention have been pretty thoroughly canvassed by the various candidates. They should be conversant with said candidates strong points and be competent to judge concerning their competency for the various offices to which they aspire, and their running qualities for getting there. The delegates should without any personal bias whatever, casting aside fear and favor, select the men for candidates that will give the Republican party the best and strongest ticket—a ticket which the people, acting iu their own best interest can not afford to defeat. Let a delegate vote for a man even if he does not like him personally, if said man is preferable as a candidate, and it would be for the best interests of the party and citizens generally that he be nominated and elected. Do not readily yield to the importunities of some man who thinks he has the best right to an office, and ignore some other man who is probably better qualified, and would make a more successful candidate. The best interests of the party and the people must be preferred to the personal wishes or ambition of any man. Let all the candidates be selected for the good of all concerned without combina tions, cliques or schemes Give every candidate a fair show so that when the convention is over every candidate and his friends can earnestly work for the success of the ticket.

The Location of Candidates.

There is considerable talk among the delegates to the Republican county convention about the proper distribution and location of the various candidates. The feeling is that they should be well distributed. Some say that Center township shows a disposition to "hog" things. Such is not the case. While there are a number of candidates from Center all cannot hope to be nominated, and as the outside townships have a large majority, about two-thirds of the delegates, they can nominate whatever candidate they desire. This being the case Center cannot secure more than her share of the candidates unless the outside townships place them here. We have said above the active workers of the party (n Center township do not desire more than their share of candidates, and expect the delegates to the convention to carefully look the field of candidates over, and then select those that will be for the best interests of the party in general. Let the man selected be well qualified for the position he seeks, and also have the requisite running qualities. What the Republicans of Hancock county want this year is an A No. 1 first-clss ticket, one that will commend itself to all the voters, irrespective of party.

The women in Breckenridge's district seem to be more concerned about the honor of their Representative in Congsess than the men. There must be a large number of Phil. Thompson's kind of men in that district.

THE GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1894.

A Card Concerning The Judgship*

Were it not for the fact that I am credibly informed that my position in relation to the nomination of a candidate for Judge of this circuit has been, and, probably, is now being misrepresented, this card would not have appeared. I regret exceedingly that there is any necessity for its appearance, and am only impelled to its publication in the interest of truth and fair play.

Soon after the appointment of the delegates to the county convention which is to be held on the 16th of this month, some of them came to me upon their own motion and inquired if I would be a candidate before the convention for the nomination in question. In each case, without exception, I answered in substance, that I would not announce myself as a candidate, and would not solicit the nomination that in my opinion the nomination for a Judgship, if that for any office in the gift of the people ought to seek the man, and that it should not be given to any man in preference to another on the ground, simply, that he wanted it, and would enter into an active canvass to obtain it that all that ought to be expected of any man who might be regarded as suitable and available material for candidacy for a judicial office is, that he should say, whether, or not, he would accept such nomination if the same should be tendered him that in my opinion those who are charged with the duty of making the nomination should not limit themselves in making a selection, to such persons, only, as engage in an active campaign to abtain it, but should nominate the man whom they believe to be possessed of the proper qualifications, and best fitted for the position, if willing to accept it, without regard to whether, or not, he has announced himself as a candidate that in my judgment the fact that a man is a "hustler," as that term is understood in political parlance, and that he will persistently and importunately beg for the nomination for a judgeship is not conclusive evidence that he is especially qualilied for the place, or that his fitness therefor is superior to that of a man who would not do so. After I have thus defined my views and position, on several occasions, the de legate, pursuing his inquiry further, has asked me, if I should be nominated, would I accept. I answered in substance,, that I did net think that any good citizen if nominated, without solicitation on his part, for an honorable office, which he felt himself qualified to fill, and he was so circumstanced that he could accept, would hardly refuse to do so and in effect, and on several occasions in express terms, said that if without being a candidate, and without solicitation on my part I should be nominated I would not refuse to accept the nomination. That is as far as I have gone in any case and that is my position now. I have not said to any person, delegate, or otherwise, that I am, or that I intend to be, a candidate for the nomination. I have not asked any delegate to the convention, or any other person to support me for the nomination, and, because I believe that my views and opinions as hereinbefore stated are right, I do not intend to do so. But if in the wisdom of the convention which is charged with the duty of making the nomination, I am thought to be sufficiently versed in the law to intelligently perform the functions of the office that I have the integrity and courage necessary to the faithful discharge of the duties of the same to the end that justice may be done aud the true interests of society maintained and that I possess the executive ability to promptly and efficiently and, therefore, economically, transact the business of the court, in case I should be elected, and for these reasons I am nominated as a candidate for Judge, I could not, without inconsistency, refuse to accept such nomination.

Six years ago I was urged by many of my friends to enter the lists as a candidate for the nomination for the same office, and for the same reasons I have given herein for not becoming a candidate now, I refused to do so. I was then told, as I am now, that, unless I would announce myself as a candidate and hustle for it, I would never be nominated. In response to this statement I said then, and I say now, that this may be true, but nevertheless, it will not change ray views, purpose or intentions in regard to the matter.

In conclusion I desire to say, that I have no censure for any one whose views and opinions may disagree with mine nor have I any reflections to make on the course of any gentleman who has announced himself as a candidate for the nomination, and who may be employing the methods usually observed in such cases. I have only published this card for the reason that I have been led to believe that it was probably necessary to do so, in order to prevent such persons as may be interested in knowing the position I occupy in relation to the matter named, from being misled by any statements which may have been, or may be made which are inconsistent with the facts herein stated.

Lincwln League Convention.

The National Convention of the League of Republican Clubs will be held in Denver, Colorado, on June 26. Arrangements have been made for a sptcial tri in for the Indiana delegation, leaving Indianapolis Friday, June 22, at 1:00 p. m., and to run through without change, arriving at Denver on Sunday morning, June 24th. The train will consist of palace sleeping cars, reclining chair cars, and a dining car. The very low rate of $24.75 for the round trip from Indianapolis to Denver and return, with a corresponding rate from any point in the State has been secured. Particulars as to the time of starting, sleeping car accomodations, etc., can be had by writing to R. E. Mansfield, secretary, Indianapolis.

The Democrats of the House Judiciary committee seem to be a little mixed about that investigation of Judge Jenkins. They say that the orders issued by him were a "gross abuse of the power of the court were supported by neither reason nor authority were beyond the jurisdistion of the Judge, and were therefore void" and yet they exonerate him from any "corrupt intention." If their first statement is correct the last is not. If he was guilty of what they charge him with he must necessarily be either corrupt or incompetont, and in either caso deserve impeachment. The report is merely intended for a vote catcher.

Many democratic Congressmen are writing one way to their constituents and voting quite another way in Congress, which is not flatering to the intelligence of democratic voters.

If the voters of the seventh Congressional district of Kentucky can afford to send Breckinridge back to Congress as a specimen of their manhood they can afford to do anything.

An Educational Qualification tor Voters.

A proposition has been introduced in the New York constitutional convention to establish an educational qualification for the suffrage by providing that no person shall be permitted to vote who cannot read and write. There seems to be a distinct tendency in that direction. The people of Maine adopted such an amendment to the Constitution of that State two years ago, and similiar propositions are pending in the States of California and Oregon, with every probability that they will be ratified by the people. The proposed amendment to the Oregon Constitution also embraces a provision that no person of foreign birth shall be permitted to vote until he has lived in the United States five years, and become a full citizen. These movements in different States show that public sentiment is moving in the direction of a more intelligent suffrage.—Indianapolis Journal.

Let It Be Ashamed.

We most sincerely hope that when the first session of the Fifty-third congress closes, the Democratic party will not be ashamed of the record made.—Richmond Sun.

It occurs to us that is the worst thing that anybody could wish the Democratic party. If a party has no shame, it is far gone indeed. We could sincerely wish the Democratic party would bow its head in shame and repent of its sins of omission and commission. Then we would have hope for it. But if it is not ashamed after the record it has made since coming into power, then we will have as much hope of a simpering harlot as of it. —Rushville Jacks'onian.

There is no need for any investigation by a Congressional committee to ascertain the cause of the industrial depression. Every intelligent man aud woman knows the cause to be fear of democratic tariff tinkering. Let the Senate kill the tariff bill and in 90 days there will be no depression to investigate.

The June Magazines.

A most important paper of great practical interest to thinking men of all shades of opinion is Hamlin Garland's plain, straightforward exposition of "The Single Tax in Actual Operation in New Zealand," in the June Arena. Mr. Garland's paper on the single tax iu operation is an important contribution to the literature of the land question. Other important papers are: "The Natioualiaction of Electricity," by Rabbi Solomon Schindler "The Fall of Babylon," a poem by James G. Clark ''Election of Postmasters by the People," by Hon. Walter Clark, LL. D. of the superior bench of North Carolina: "The Sixth Sense, and How to Develope it," by Paul Tyuer, is a moat remarkable contribution to the literature of phychical research and "The Higher Criticism of the Hexateuch," by Prof. W. Batten, an eminent Episcopalian scholar. Elbert Hubbard contributes a valuable paper on the A. P. A. movement, in which he points out the end of this movement.

Magazine Notes.

John Fox, Jr who first attracted attention to himself by his striking story, ••A Mountain Europa," begins in The Century for June a short serial based upon a bloodthirsty vendetta that had been waged at intervals for years in the Cumberland mountains. This novelette is one of several which The Century will priht during the coming months, among them '*A Bachelor Maid," by Mrs. Burton Harrison and "Love in Idleness" by Marion Crawford.
