We are confronted with the Democratic party, very hungry, and, as yon may well believe, very thirsty; a party without a single definite principle; a party without any distinct national policy which it dares present to the country; a party which fell from power as a conspiracy against human rights, and now attempts to sneak back to power as a conspiracy for plunder and spoils.—Geo. Wm. CUBTIS, June 5, 1881. I have carefully observed the attitude and movements of the Democratic party for twenty rears. Inmyjndgmentlt has learned nothing and forgotten nothing.

The second number of the Sunday Journal will be published to-morrow. It will contain several special features of interest, among others an original sketch by Mary Hartwell Catherwood. The demand for the first issue, on Suiiaay last, by far exceeded expectations, and the edition was speedily exhausted, necessitating the printing of a second edition on Monday. We will avoid this trouble to-morrow, and print a sufficient number to supply the demand. We intend to make The Sunday Journal a paper of the very best character, and at the low price, three oents, it must necessarily have a large and wide circulation. Advertisers will oblige us by sending in their fsvors at as early an hour as possible.

session, adopted a resolution requesting the citizens to meet on the 29th of that month, in that year, at the different school-houses, and see if some way could not be found to keep "the schools open. These meetings were held, and the expenses of 1,100 pupils —about $3,000 —subscribed to continue tuition to the end of the quarter. Nothing further could be done. Voluntary subscriptions could not replace a compulsory tax, and the schools died, except as they were galvanized a little while each year with the avails of the fund that the Democracy created in 1785, by the Constitution of 1850, Mr. Voorhees says. The houses were rented to private teachers partly, and partly occupied by thieves and street-walkers. Our correspondent is right as to the case coming from Lafayette. It was a suit by Fowler, the . banker, we believe, that came up on appeal from the Tippecanoe court. But the Democratic school murder was done in ’SB.

Keppler, Puck’s cartoonist, has been in this country long enough to get hold of sufficient American politics to get them horribly mixed, and, as we have shown, he frequently hits his friends harder than he does those whom he does not like. His latest effort is a doublepage cartoon in this week’s Puck. It represents Cleveland as a eucalyptus tree rising out of a Democratic swamp. On either side are shadowy figures rising like miasmatic vapors, and these he, as the eucalyptus, is dispelling. But the figures are worth studying. On the right is a typical Irishman, labeled “Ward Bossism;” just below John. Kelly, and beneath him, up to his chin in the Democratic mire, is a third Irishman bearing the motto “Dynamiter,” So much for Reppier's evident hostility to the Irish, and in this his sentiments are undoubtedly those of the Democratic party, which is now at a white heat of wrath over the way the Irish are asserting their defiance of the party lash. On the left, nearest the beneficent eucalyptus, is an outlined donkey labeled “Stupidity.” Next is a ruffian with a revolver, and labeled “Bourbonism.” Beneath is the familiar face of Butler, andaboveisthe ghost of “K. K. K.” If stupidity incarnate was ever manifest, it certainly is in this picture. First, the confession is that the Democratic party has been a miasmatic swamp of pestilence and evil. It was poisonous with the reeking odors of Ku-kluxism, Bourbonism, Kellyism aad criminal stupidity. But what is there in Cleveland to give even the faintest assurance that all or either of these things can be dissipated, and that the quagmire of Democracy can be made wholesome? Is it not a fact, patent to all and exultantly admitted by the Democratic party, that its only hope of success is predicated on a “solid South,” conceived in iniquity and brought forth in Bourbonism, sectional hatred and ignorance? What has Cleveland or his party ever done—what can they do—toward ridding the South of Bourbonism, which is but another pame for intolerance and political murder? One might as' reasonably attempt to take the heart out of a man and expect him to live as to take Bourbonism and assassination out c f Southern Democracy and expect it to survive. But Keppler has blundered upon a great moral truth here. The Democratic morass, using his own words, has been reeking and rotten with treasonable and law-defying Bourbonism. It is so still, and Cleveland, nor any other Democrat, can hope to purify it out of existence. That removed, the party collapses. But the most glaring stupidity exhibited in this curious cartoon is the wanton insult put upon the Irish voters who for so many years had been faithful adherents of the Democratic party. That a man with an unsavory record like Cleveland’s can purify the Irish vote out of the Democratic party could hardly originate in any bgsin but that of Keppler, who hates the Irish with an intensity that forbids discretion. The confession made by the cartoon is most humiliating. The inference is that the Democratic party, under the management of such men as Seymour, Bayard, Tilden, Thurman, Hendricks and McDonald, has been a miasmatic morass, filled with the poisonous exhalations of corrupt, daugerous and murderous elements, and that its old-time leaders have been powerless to remedy the matter and to deliver the party from its thraldom. And now the mayor of Buffalo, a man so small as to never be heard of when big men were in demand, steps forth to deliver, not the country, but the Democratic party from itself! The feelings of those old in the party service may be imagined, as they contemplate this brilliant pieoe of picture work. The Irish vote is in stampede and defies management, though a desperate effort is making to wheel it back into line. A few more bits of artistic work by Keppler will settle the business, his hatred of the Irish will be satiated, and his party will be spared all anxiety concerning how they will vote, for it will be morally certain that they will not vote for Cleveland. The Democratic morass is, indeed, rotten with Bourbonism and bossism, but the oountry is not, nor is the Nation in need of the services of a ten-cent mayor and ex-hangman to deliver it.

Price, three cents. mmmmmmmmmmm—mmm— No more pitiable performance has ever been - known in politics than the effort of Judge lewis Jordan, on Thursday night, to keep the Irish away from Judge Brennan’s meeting, held at the Park Theater last night. That

such a demagogical and contemptible appeal was deemed to be necessary by the Democratic managers is another and conclusive evidence of the alarm of the Democrats over the stampede of independent, thinking, self-respecting Irishmen from the ranks of an organization that lias repaid their almost unswerving fealty with kicks, and cuffs, and contempt. But Mr. Jordan’s effort was as futile as it was foolish. The Irish of the country are thinking and acting for themselves this year, in greater numbers than ever before. The Democratic party can no longer depend upon Irish solidarity for success. __________ Small advertising a special feature of the Sunday Journal, which sells for three cents.

We say liars; because any man who knows anything well enough to warrant him in asserting it knows that such a statement is a willful and malicious lie, while, if he does not know it, and still asserts it, he utters an ignorant but no less malicious lie. Among the liars circulating this report, as we are informed, is an alleged “temperance” speaker whose eccentricities of language have been alluded to heretofore. The following letter should be a complete and final answer to the slander against Mr. Calkins: “LaPorte, Aug. 13, 1884. “Rev. H. N. Herrick: “Dear Brother—Yours of the 11th inst. and also a letter of the same date from Rev. R. F. Brewington, a supernumerary member of your conference and a citizen of your place, both asking for information concerning Hon. W. H. Calkins, are at hand. “As you-both seek substantially the same information, I will answer both letters in one. In Rev. Brewington’s letter definite questions are propounded, and I will answer according to the tenor of these. “ ‘ls he regarded at home as a man of good moral standing?’ Yes. “ ‘What are his views on the temperance question?’ I don’t know. I never heard him express himself. I saw a letter that he wrote a short time since to Hon. Baxter, of Richmond, in which he did not differ from Mr. Baxter-except, perhaps, as to methods. From all I know of him, I judge that to be correct. “ ‘What are his personal habits as to drinking?’ I judge he is in the habit of drinking a good deal, but Ido not think he drinks anything stronger than water or coffee. He is strictly temperate as far as I know or have ever heard. His bitterest enemies have never charged him with intemperate habits, or even tipping. I think his record is clean on that score. , “ Is he a member of the M. E. Church?’ Yes; he is a member of the charge of which I have been pastor for nearly three years. He has been here but little, however, since my connection with the charge, and I have had but little opportunity to know him as a religious man. Indeed, I do not know that he is a religious man, or that he would claim to be. But there is no stain on his moral character. Anything to the contrary you may set down as a campaign lie, either willfully or ignorantly put forth. “What his attitude toward prohibition is I do not know. He is, perhaps, too much of a politician to define his position. I should De very much disappointed if, as Governor, he should veto any judicious temperance legislation. I think the temperance interests of the State will be safe in his hands if he should be elected Governor. I have no objection to vour making any use of this letter you may think proper.

Because Senator Edmunds was not nominated at Chicago, Curtis, Codman and a number of other self-righteous men who could not have their own way, bolted the ticket, and attached themselves as a tail to the Democratic kite. And now Senator Edmunds, in a speech at Burlington, Vt., has the cruelty to say that the Democratic party has been wrong for more than a quarter of a century, and will, he fears, continue so for a greater length of time to come. Without the slightest consideration for the feelings of his former admirers, Mr. Edmunds adds that every succeeding year seems to decorate the Democratic party with anew folly. Whether the Vermont Senator had any reference to the independent folly as a Democratic decoration is not known; but at all events, he has undoubtedly ruined himself in the estimation of those truly good reformers. Hereafter they will believe that he is the oold, heartless, unsympathetic man which his enemies have pictured him. Buy the Sunday Journal to-morrow. Price, three cents. I saw in the Journal of a couple of cases where, when I was Governor, I pardoned a couple of men from the State prison. Well, if that was the only time that I made mistakes, I thank the Lord.—Hendricks, in Sentinel. That mistake was bad enough. No friend of the Union would have made it, in his position, whatever others, differently situated, might do. But he made a far worse mistake in the expression of rebel sympathies that sought to send back a Union soldier to Kentucky, to be murdered by a rebel mob for killing a rebel in resisting a mob that was trying to kill him, and did drive him from his home and property. Governor Morton, having no such sympathies, made no such mistakes. All the news, telegraphic, State and city in the Sunday Journal to-morrow. * Price, three cents. Twenty-five years ago this week petroleum was first struck at Titusville, Pa. Since that time marvelous progress in its development as an illuminator has been mdSe, until now the annufl product of this country is about 32,000,000 barrels. But what may be regarded as more wonderful still is the fact that this enormous amount is annually overtraded by nearly two hundred fold, counting the transactions at but four oil exchanges.

During 1883, at OB <5%, New York, Bradford and Pittsburg, no less ttian 6,004,263,000 barrels of oil were “sold,” or 200 barrels for every barrel produced. If this does not prove gambling on its face, it is useless to argue against it. Read the Sunday Journal to-morrow —Price three cents. Thomas A. Hendricks is devilish sly, like Joey Bagstoek. It was evident when his letter of acceptance appeared that he had given up all hope of the election of the Democratic ticket, and expressed his disgust over the whole proceedings as plainly as he possibly could. His letter to his Dubuque friend shows that he will not hesitate to make Mr. Cleveland's defeat as crushing as possible. Although once given up as a goner with senile gangrene, Mr. Hendricks is now in splendid health; the currents of blood move through his veins warmly and with vigor. He will not be so awful old in 1888. Mr. Hendricks has his face to the future, and as for Grover Cleveland, why he can go to the —Adirondaoks.

Under the head “Worse than a Scandal," the New York Herald prints an editorial upon the letter of Mr. Hendricks to his friend in Dubuque. The Herald takes the same liew of the letter as did the Journal. It says; “Some ingenious person out West, presumably a Republican, attributes to- Mr. Hendricks a letter on the subject of the Cleveland story, which, probably, Mr. Hendricks never saw. Mr. Hendricks, who has been reputed to be a man of good sense hitherto, snould have the benefit of the doubt on this occasion.

Owing to the improvement in political machinery in these modern days, Rhoderick would be badly left were he to sound his trumpet in this campaign. One blast of Thomas A. Hendricks’s bugle horn is supposed to be worth not lees than 50,900 men, who are anxious to realize the federal offices which he has promised in event of Democratic success. New England independents, the most of whom are located in and about Boston, are not boasting much of their strength in Vermont. On the contrary, they groan over the exceeding indifference of the natives of that State to “Cleveland's glorious record as a reformer,” and their exasperating determination to vote for Blaine and stand by the Republican party.

Massachusetts independents are highly indignant because they are unceremoneously “bounced” from Republican caucuses which meet to take action in regard to presidential electors. It is unkindly suggested to them, as they depart, that it is quite enough for them to do to manage the affairs of their adopted party. To permit them to take part in other labors would, it is thought, be unhealthful. Judge Knickerbocker, in appointing a conservator for the estate of Wilbur F.

He is a lawyer of fine abilities, and a man of high character. If elected, as he seems likely to be, he will easily take high rank in the State Senate. Mr. Hendricks is of opinion that Mr. Cleveland should not be forced to withdraw from the ticket, at this stage of the campaign! The bearing of the application lies in the last clause.

This is Republican day in Indiana. The next one of particular importance will be on the 4th of November next. The New York Herald has-fcaad ont by this time that the Hendricks Dubuque letter is genuine. The campaign will be “ opened" with a bong-starter ail along the line to-day and night. These will be no occasion for complaint today that the campaign is “lifeless:'” From one end of the State to the other, from the

Maumee to the Ohio, and from Richmond to Terre Haute, the woods will be full of Republican meetings and speakers. Mr. Hendricks’s Dubuque letter attracts far more attention than his letter of acceptance. The New York Commercial Advertiser recently requested General Butler to contribute a story to the watering-place series of romances which are now running through its columns. The General politely declined, saying that a press of business at present makes it impossible for him to write anything in the direction indi cated, which would be fit for the paper to publish or suitable for him to write. With Mr. Butler's gifted imagination and romantic turn of mind, something rich and rare in the way of love stories might be expected, and when the campaign is over it is to be hoped that he will turn his attention to the production of that species of literature. At present he is doing too good service to the Republicans in arranging for Democratic defeat to make it wise to urge a change of occupation. Mr Dana, of the Sun, says in an interview published in another New York paper, that ‘‘the weak points in Cleveland are his ignorance, his dullness and narrowness of mind, his inability to deal with questions that require enlarged intelligence, his coarse personal tastes and habits, hts indifference to the usages of cultivated and refined society, and his bad record m private life. Besides, he has hanged men, and while that is a useful function, perhaps, one doesn’t like to have had rt performed by a man who is rnnning for President.” After this the reporter, strange to say, neglected to ask Mr. Dana what Cleveland's strong points are, and the public gropes in darkness as regards that important matter.

Here is a similia-similibus-curantur case, which homcepathists may note for future reference. A month or so ago Mrs. Davidson, of Palatine, N.

Very few people will be able to appreciate such delicate humor. The Times leads the van in Democratic madness and folly. The St. Louis Republican, on two occasions at least, has been reminded of Jeff Davis by Frank James and the treatment he has been accorded by the press of the country.

New York Tribune: After a short rest th* assistant Democratic journals are again repeating the idiotic assertionrifcat the growth of sentiment in favor of Cleveland and in opposition to Blaine has been very marked of late. This

statement belongs in the same category as the discovery, recently made in lowa and thence communicated to Indiana, that Mr. Hendricks equipped an entire Union regiment during the war at his own expense—a splendid display of loyalty which, as every one knows, occurred in the same year that Mr. Cleveland made his unanswerable plea for a protective tariff in the United States Senate.

Meantime, the lncky Sohwenniger is rising higher and higher. His latest appointment is to a professorship at Berlin Univer* sity, much to the disgust of the orthodox teachers of medicine. Thomas A.
