WORKINGMZN will turn out for Harrison and protection on Thursday. There Trill bo co postponement on account of the weather. If Mr. Charles L. Jewett is satisfied with tha present constitution of the Committee of One Hundred, why does he not send it hU check for $300? Ths Indiana Democracy is short on harmony, too, "with no supply to draw on at New York headquarters. Dollars will hardly make up for this lack. Governor II ill has some very convenient engagements elsewhere that will prevent him reviewing the New York city parade, on 'Saturday, with President Cleveland. Mr. Charles L. Jewett says he will have ample money." That is notice to all the heelers and bum inera that 1 hey can expect any amount of boodle from the Democratic managers. ' ' It was not necessary for Mr. Jewett to proclaim that he would have "ample money." It has been understood from the first that the ' Democratic corruption fund would be practically limitless. Me, Cjarles L. Jewett does not send his check to the Committee of One Hundred, whose present constitution he declares to be such as to command public confidence. "Why? Sim Coy would not allow him to do so. 'A rrrtaln nuinkr of voti. are for sale, su;l the party that vrixis mutt Ix tlie larger purchaser. Indianapolis Letter la New York Herald. Democrat ronnt confidently on giving? Cleveland plurality." Ibid. Tli raiivaat lr 1m come to be simply a question of money. Ibid. Maj. "V7. P. Could, of Vincennes, who has just returned from a trip around the world, says that wherever he met Englishmen, when the talk turned on American politics, he found them warm friends of Gereland and free trade. lie says, also, that English papers which began by belittling General Harrison

as an unknown man and "a provincial statesman," have changed their tone to one of frank admiration of his wonderful versatility and grasp as an orator. The Republican candidate is growing.

We are informed that Condon, the Bloomin gton liar, is preparing to fire another broadside against General Harrison, reaffirming the truth of the charge that the General vilely insulted the Irish in Bloomington in 1S76. Let this liar and all the other liars proceed. Their powder has been shot once, and it will do no harm to anybody now. All the lies fired at General Harrison have only strengthened him in the regard of decent, intelligent people, and that is the class which will decide the election this year. It is the intention of the Democratic managers to fire their new broadside on the ere of election, too late to be refuted. The warning has already been given, and the shot will be a flash in the pan. A3 TO ELECTION F&ATJD3. Mr. Charles L. Jewett is respectfully informed that the Journal did not say, editorially, that the Democratic State committee had received $140,000 from New York. He sets up a petty quibble by means of which to make an appearance of gTeat virtue. The Journal did say, and the Journal repeats, that it had goal reason to believe that $140,000 had been received here from the "Cleveland-Barnum mule-buyers," and that it is but an installment of the colossal corruption fund that is to be used by the Democrats in buying the vote of this State. "We know that Southern States have been raked and scraped for money for Indiana. In one county of Kentucky $10,000 was raised. We know that tho Democratic correspondent of the New York Herald says that the result in ladiana is simply a question of money, and that "the Democrats count confidently on securing the electoral vote for Cleveland." We know that the Democratic State central committee, under charge of Mr. Chas. L. Jewett, and backed by Mr. Si P. Sheerin, has been and is now engaged in all manner of frauds and corruptions. We know thai the Democratic State central committee has been and is now engaged in the circulation of the infamous lies of Gould, and his kind, which the Journal has dared them to assume to prove by the tender of a reward of $2,000, which was offered, and declined, in the shape of a certified check. We know that the Democratic managers have corrupted, by the use of money, certain so-called "laboring men," and that they hare paid for and had circulated thousands of copies of the "Labor Signal," the editor and publisher of which in those positions by fraud on" the stockholders of the paper hare been paid for by Democratic money. We know that hundreds of thousands of socalled supplements to this "Labor Signal" were printed on tho type and presses of the Indianapolis Sentinel, circulated by the Democratic committee and mailed through the Indianapolis postofSce in clear violation of law the Sentinel, the Democratic managers and Mr. Aquilla Jones, postmaster, or somebody representing him, being parties to this scandalous fraud and flagrant violation of law. Is it not a beautiful spectacle to see a man steeped to hi3 eyes in responsibility for these frauds and attempted corruption of the suffrage prating about election crimes? Mr. Charles L. Jewett knows that the Democratic plan for this city, boastfully talked about in their executive committee, i3 to take advantage of the Coy scheme of opening the polls at G o'clock in Democratic wards and precincts to get in the bulk of their vote by 9 o'clock, so as to have all the balance of the day to challenge the Republican votes, particularly the colored vote, and so keep a large per cent, of it out of tho box. That is the Democratic plan, outlined and advocated in the meeting of their executive committee. Mr. Jewett's talk about 6trange negroes in various wards is part of the desperatn scheme, so as to give a coloring of justice to tha wholesale challenging of colored voters that is proposed. Mr. Jewett must think tile Republicans mere children not to know and see through his thinness. The Republican State and county committees both contributed to the fund of the Committee of One Hundred in order to secure a fair election in Marion county. Mr. Jewett declined to do so. The officers of the One Hundred Committee are Democratic, a majority of them. That committee will be as vigorous to detect and punish Republican crime as any other. If tho Republicans were contemplating fraud, would they have put a club in the hands of this committee! Not much. They would have done 83 Mr. Jewett did, ignored the committee, kept their money, and possibly have or ganized & committee of their own behind which to have perpetrated their crimes. Mr. Jewett is not in a position to talk of Repub lican fraud. Let him clear his own skirts, if he can. But he cannot do it by talk, the very purpose of which is to further the scoundrelly schemes whereby the Democrats of Indianapolis hopo to disfranchise a large part of the honest, legitimate colored vote of the city. . TEE BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS. If there is any one thing that the Republicans of Indiana are interested in and pledged to, next to the election of General Harrison, it is the redemption of the State benevolent in stitutions from partisan management and tho expulsion of the dirty brood that now defiles and defames tne Insane Hospital. This is an object of supreme important e, and is regarded by decent people throughout the State as it self worth a supreme effort. It can only be accomplished by and through the Legislature, and by and through the Republican party. No person with a grain of common sense ex pects it to be done by the Democratic party. i It follows that eTery person in favor of the reform should vote for a Republican Legis latere as the only practical and possible method of accomplishing it The idea of se curing this or any other reform through a Democratic Legislature, or by the aid or the vote of any Democratic member of the Lea

islature, is moon-eyed nonsense and mid summer madness.

The Republicans of Marion county are equally interested with those of other coun ties in the election of a Republican Legislature, for the reason above ' named, and for other very important . reasons. The Republican candidates for the Legislature in this county represent Insane Asylum reform and other reforms of great importance. The Democratic candidates represent opposition to them at every point A voter who professes to desiro these reforms, and who votes for a Democratic candidate for Legislature in this county, is either a hypocrite or an ass. He either does not desire the reforms he pretends to, or he is fool enough to expect to gain them by the election of a candidate notoriously opposed to them. The Republican candidates for the Legis lature in this county are superior to the Democratic candidates in every way, besides being pledged to the reforms which can only be toaccomplished through a Republican Legis lature. They are neither sore-heads, cynics, renegades nor Bourbons. If they are not experienced statesmen, they are at least not too old to learn, and, better still, are not com mitted by their votes or their political affilia tions to the support of the Harrison-Sullivan-Coy gang, with all which that implies. Their defeat, or the defeat of any of them, may involve a Democratic Legislature. A Republican who would contribute to or connive at such a disaster this year ought to be drummed out of the party. MR. BYNDM AND INDIANAPOLIS. The organ of Mr. Bynum, the Mills bill and free trade, attempts to rebut with ridicule the statement that the Mills bill kept from the city of Indianapolis manufacturing institutions that would have pud out one thousand dollars a day to their employes. In doing this it assumes to make tho Journal authority for the statement, and returns to its disgusting vomit about the natural-gas 'octopus." The Journal has only to remark as to this, that the city of Indianapolis would have been in a beautiful condition, so far as natural gas is concerned, if the desire of the News had been carried out, and no other company than the Trust been permitted to serve the people with gas fuel. The Indianapolis Journal worked for the introduction of all the companies, and for more than there are, if th&y wanted to come. We wanted to invite all gas companies, with their capital, to Indianapolis, as we want to invite all kind3 of manufactures and business here now. If the malicious and exclusive policy of the News had been carried out, the people of Indianapolis would hava been in a nice fix for natural gas this ' winter. As it is, with three companies instead of one, all people who desiro it cannot obtain the benefit of the gas fuel.- Let the News wallow in that vomit as much as it pleases. But as to the factories: The statement in the Journal was made upon the authority of Mr. C. A. Scott, of Cincinnati, a gentleman of standing and character, a man entitled to credence as much as the editor of the News. , He 6a ys he was one of the interested parties,; and the enterprises were stopped because of the introduction and possible passage of the Mills bill, or a measure of like import Against the dictum of the Notts, made on behalf of one of its pets, whom it use3 to hold on to its Democratic branch of "independence," we place the assertion of Mr. Scott, and ask the attention of the people of Indianapolis to it. Do they want to be longer represented in Congress by a man whose servile subservience to the fiee-trade Democracy of the South is such that his action assists in keeping cut manufacturing enterprises from their onidst? Mr. Bynum not only did this, but in public speech at Atlanta, repeated elsewhere, he bitterly slandered the industries of Indianapolis, and insulted every worVingman in tha city, by representing that largo numbers of them were turned out to starve, and that they were driven to such straits that their wives wero compelled t to go to tha wash-tub to make a living for the family while they attended to the babies. Do workingmen want to vote for such a man at the expense of an honest, hardhanded, sound-headed, representative citizen like Thomas E. Chandler? Do the manufactur2rs and business men of Indianapolis prefer a man like WHliam D. Bynum to Thomas E. Chandler? GENERAL HOVEY'S LETTER. The Sentinel has published a number of letters from Democratic soldiers abusing General Hovey for sending them his speech delivered in the House, in reply to the one of Colonel Matson, on the pension question. General Hovey has adopted the excellent idea of sending the old soldiers his speech, accompanied by a personal letter calling attention to it and making one or two good points in addition. There are between 00,000 and 70,000 old soldiers in this State, of whom a small per cent, are Democrats. It is natural that some of these, on receiving General Hovey's speech ajid letter, should fall to abusing him, and they do it in the usual Democratic fashion. Some of them call him "a coward," others "a demagogue' and all are agreed that the present administration and the Democratic party are the best friends the soldiers ever had. General Hovey's record as a eoldierwill hardly be injured by the attacks of men who are now voting with and for the solid South, but it would be more to the point if some of the writers of these letters would attempt to refute his statements of fact instead of trying to injure his reputation. In his letter ho says: "The only hope now of obtaining our rights is through the President and Representatives in Congress, to bo elected next November. The Grand Army of the Republic, at Columbus, O., last month, more than indorsed my eight-dollar pension bill; but we know that President Cleveland and a 'solid South' are now controlling the House of Representatives and preventing all legislation in favor of our comrades. The Mills tariff bill would leave no surplus to pay our just demands." That is gee pel truth, every word of it No pension law has been passed, and none ever will be passed, by a Democratic Congress. Northern soldiers are fools to expect to get justice from a party controlled by the solid South. Just now it stands them in hand to show some liberality in granting or increasing pensions, but once fairly established is power there will

be an end of that If the pension las are not repealed, they will be undermined, chipped away piecemeal, or perhaps made odious by embracing confederate soldiers. General Hovey has got exactly the right idea, and his letter makes it very plain. Let some of the Democratio soldiers who are now sympathizing with the lost cause attack the reasoning of General Hovey's lettar instead of his military record. The people have made up their minds on the latter point long, ago; that Hovey was one of the bravest and best of Indiana's soldiers, and there are over fifty thousand old soldiers in the State who will so vote on the 6th of November. Let his critic furnish some facts showing what this administration has done for the soldiers, or some arguments to justify the assumption that a party controlled by Southern brigadiers should be entrusted with the interests of Northern soldiers.

PROSECUTING; ATTORNEY. . tThe Journal is getting tired of the unfair and positively indecent means that are being used on behalf of Major Mitchell to defeat the Republican candidate for prosecutor of the Criminal Court, Mr. Harry Tincher. We have said nothing against Mr. Mitchell, or his administration of the office; but something may become necessary if the present style of warfare is kept up against Mr. Tincher. Mr. Tincher is a young lawyer of ability and a citizen of unimpeachable integrity. To talk of him as if he were a bummer, and the candidate of the saloon element, is an outrage which cannot be too strongly reprehended. If elected, there is every reason to believe that he would be as vigilant and as successful in prosecution as Major Mitchell has been, while his record would not likely be marred by such incidents as disgrace the action, or rather, the non-action, of the county grand jury in the Coy-Sullivan-Bernhamer election-forgery cases. " That is something which Major Mitchell can scarcely plume himself on, as well as certain decidedly shady matters relating to the prosecution of favored saloonists. Mr. Tincher is capable, intelligent, honorable, and worthy the support of the party which nominated him. The attacks upon him are false and cowardly. . wl . TlIERE is scarcely anything more valuable than the average "special correspondent," especially tho imported ones from metropolitan newspapers, who come into Indiana and "do" the State in a few hours or days. The amount of their misinformation is really marvelous. For instance, the New York Herald's young man writes: 'The population of Ihe State has increased to about 2.850,000, showing a gain of a quarter of a million since 1$S0. This, it is calculated, -will add CO, 000 new voters, making the entire voting force 495,000, as against 434,000 inlSSO." - This particular ignoramus might have found out that in 1SS4, the State cast 495,424 votes, and that this year the aggregate will be in the neighborhood of 550,000. He also says: "This is how the case stands. No amount of talk or gas ean or will decide this election. A. certain number of voters are for sale, and the party that wins must be the larger purchaser." He then proceeds to write it down.that the Democracy will carry the State for Cleveland. He has faith in the extent of Mr. Jewett's "boodle," and believes that Mr. Jewett will be able to buy the Stato. This is the Democratic campaign from Democratic sources. We find the following in the New York Times: - "S. P. Sheerin, the secretary of the national Democratic committee, has sent the fosiowinqj telegram, exposing a desperate scheme of the Republicans to divert the labor vote to. Harrison and Morton: "Indianapolis, Oct, 20. Tbe Hon. Calrin 8. Brice: 'A forged edition of the Labor Sijrnal, of this city, evidently dedipned for circulation in the East, has been iisnd by tbe Republicans, The paper professes to hare changed its politics. It is a base forgery, and shows the desperation to which tha enemy is driven. The fraud has just beeu discovered, l'lease give this a wide circulation." How distressed the soul of Mr. Si P. Sheerinmust have been! Together with Mr. Charles L. Jewett and Mr. Thomas Taggart, these representatives of the Democratic party had bought up a couple of rascals, and succeeded in making of the Labor Signal a Democratio paper, for the circulation of lies they could not disseminate through any other channel. All that has been done is that the defrauded stockholders have issued an honest Labor Signal, which they had the perfect right to do, and which they ought to have done long ago. Mr. William Lloyd Garrison-, son of the famous Abolitionist, said to reporter of the Cleveland Plain Dealer: "I do not like the temporizing, compromising spirit shown by many of the Democratio party leaders in saying that free trade is not the aim of the party. Of course the Mills bill is but a step, and a slight one at that, toward free trade, but it is a step in that direction. I have been asked to speak in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and other States upon the'subject of free trade, but have declined to do so for fear I should be expected to moderate my ideas to suit the politicians. I have since been informed, however, that my fear in that respect was groundlees, and that I might have had the privilege of saying what I pleased." Mr. George L. Converse, the eminent protection Democrat asked the privilege of speaking his sentiments on the stump, and was denied. Mr. Garrison, an out-and-out free-trader, was given permission to say what he pleased. And yet the Democratic party says it is not for free trade. Mr. Henri Watterson has concluded that there is no use . in trying to deny the free-trade extracts taken frcm the columns of the Courier-Journal. On Friday last, the 19th instant, referring to these extracts, Mr. Watterson said: "We have not denied them, and we are not disposed to deny tliem now. "If the Mills bill is a free-trade bill, still we are for the Mills bill. And yet Mr. Watterson and other cowardly Democrats attempt to evade the charge that they are free-traders. A free-trade philosopher repeats in the columns of the free-trade organ the statement that the price of wool has been highest when the duty was lowest, thereby, inferentially, arguing that under the Mills bill, which takes the duty entirely off, wool will behigher than ever. An answer to such nonsense is I scarcely necessary, but two may be made. In

the first place, if it were true, all wool-growers would favor the Mills bill, but there is not one that does; and, in the second place, if the price of wool is to be increased, what becomes of the staple yawp of cheaper clothing? These free-trade folk must take the American people for a pack of fools.

Mr. Sheerin, Mr. Jewett and Mr. Taggart may as well concede that the Republican managers are full-grown men, and can see through a mill-stone, when there is a hole in it The little Coy-six-o'clock-challenging-colored-voters scheme that they have elaborated will not work. The colored men of Indianapolis, entitled to vote, will vote. They remember the advice given to them in other years, by Mr. James B. Ryan, and ether Democr ts, to "bring their coffins with them to the polls. They didn't bring coffins, but they brought their votes, and their votes went in. Colored men have not forgotten the Democratic massacre, either, made under the lead of the Democratio police. We recall these facts merely to suggest to the Democratio managers that the attempt to introduce Copiah county tactics into Indianap olis will not work. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Does the Senate amendment to tho Mills bill propose a total abolition of import duty, revenue tariff and tax on whisky, or does the. Itepublican platform indorse the above? Anderson, Ind., Oct. 22. rx J. o. Of course it does not The Senate bill pro-. vides, precisely as the Republican platform declares, for the removal of the duty on alco . hoi used in the arts and manufactures. The tax on whisky is not touched. On the contrary, the Mills bill repeals the special taxes levied on retail liquor dealers, and relieves distillers who mash lets - than twenty-five bushels a day of all government restriction save the tax, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury. It is a meas ure in the interest of free whisky and moon shiners. The names of legal colored voters have been systematically left off Demooratic pollbooks, so as to cause them trouble when they come to vote. The names of one hundred and thirty-six have been omitted from one pre cinct of the Thirteenth ward, in pursuance of the Coy-Taggart plan to disfranchise the colored vote of Indianapolis. We warn these tricksters that they are playing with fire. Facts are stubborn things. When a prominent manufacturer of Cincinnati says that negotiations for tho location of two large manufacturing establishments in this city were broken off by the introduction of the Mills bill, which Mr. Bynum helped to prepare and voted for, thinking men will ask themselves if it pays to have that kind of a "Representative." SHEET-IRON manufacturing is what' the free-traders call an "illegitimate industry," like woolen-mills, starch-mills, paper-pulp fac tories glass factories, etc If so, perhaps Mr. Bynum was conferring a great favor on hit constituents in contributing to keep two sheet-iron factories out of Indianapolis. Or, perhaps, he didn't want any more "starving workmen" here. The Liverpool Post of Saturday, Sept. 1, 18S8, said: "There lias, consequently, been a tremendous outcry against the President's free-trade opinions; and, as any reduction of duty would let into America more British coods, Mr, Cleveland lias been held op by his Republican opponents at the enemy of tha American wnrkingman, and the ft lend of England and the British manufacturer." Mr. Charles L. Jewett cannot give the name of one of the strange coloredmen in the wards he specifies. Lot him give their names, or confess' that he not only lies in his charges against the Republicans, but that, his talk is merely a blind to cover the Democratio scheme of disfranchising a large per cent of the colored vote of Indianapolis. If there is any satisfaction to the Sentinel in belittling Rspublican demonstrations, it ooght to be allowed the privilege of doing so without interference. The pleasure will last only until election day. After that the Committee of One Hundred will offer a hindrance to any fooling with Republican majorities. The Democratic city treasurer of Cleveland, Mr. Axworthy, has gotten away with about half a million of the public funds. Mr. Axworthy's present address seems tobe unknown. He was an immensely popular man. It seems to be another case of "Honest Uncle Dick Tate," with some improvements. Congressman Sowden had it 1aid up" for Mr. Cleveland, after the veto of the Allentown public building bill, and did not have to wait long for an opportunity of getting his revenge. Other Democrats with grievances and there is an army of them will wait until Nov. C to "get even." : I The Sentinel makes the interesting announcement that at least half the men in the Springfield delegation which came to visit General Harrison were Democrats. The Republicans had not been figuring on quite so large a proportion of converts. The salary of a Congressman is $5,000 a year. The people of Indianapolis could afford to pay Bynum that sum to stay at home and refrain from talking or voting against the manufacturing interests of the city. Harmony is what the New York Den ocratic managers want in New York; but harzeony has taken up her abode with the Republicans for the season, and does not care to rlivide herself up. " If the free-traders should succeed in driving all the so-called "illegitimate industries" out of Indiana, there would not be much left "Illegitimate" industries are better than none. A friend from Louisville writes the Journal that Mr. Henry Watterson was In Europe dar ing the disgraceful attaek by the Louisville Courier-Journal upon Mrs. Virginia Thompson, the daughter of the Rev. Alexander Campbell. Mrs. Taompaon was postmaster, and the hungry Democrats wanted her oficsv Constant Reader: Your risht to rote in Indianapolis depends upon whether yon regard this city! and not former residence, jour
