free-soil raorement and the beneficent homestead laws; it dcnonnced as unconstitutional the introduction of a monetary system established upon the firm basis of our national credit; it hurled its anathemas against oar protective tanrt system, and stigmatized it as a fraud unon tb people. History shows that the Democratic party, unable in the march of progress to keep abreast with this great peoplu, has always limped behind as. a jealous and hobbling camp-follower. This became evident, nlso, when the matter of the world's fair appro priation was before Congress But tor tho Kepnblican Representatives, who supported the measure to a man, not a dollar would have been appropriated, and our great national undertaking wonld have become an object of ridicule to the whole world. "We look upon our history during the last thirty years and don't find in tfce Democraticparty a simile patriotic or heart-refreshing feature. Its conduct in tbe present; its recent declaration against protection and a sound financial policy, proves anew mat, like tbe Bourbons of France, it has learned nothing and has forgotten nothing. On the other hand, when we look upon the Republican party and its history we find in it the history of onr country for the last generation. All the noble achieve znentsof our people hare sprung from tbe progressive spirit with which that party is imbued. It haa been the Kepnblican party, and it is the Kepnblican parry to-day. which in the first place provides lor America and looks after our welfare and the welfare of our children, and in tbe next place inquires after the nations of Europe." The achievements of the Kepnblican par tyare eulogized at length. The foreign policy of the present administration is reviewed, and the address Chen says: "But tbe greatest triumphs of tbe present Hepublican administration have been achieved in economic respects. Under Harrison, France. Germany, Austria, Italy. Bpam and other countries have removed their prohibitory measures against the importation of American pork, tolls upon sereals were reduced in France and Germany, and with other powers reciprocity treaties were entered into whereby our commerce and industries have received a new impetus, ami from which all classes will gather rich benefits. Every patriotio citizen will, therefore, unite with us in the hearty wish, Met well enough alone.' "Oar country ha a grand future before It. It is to-day the mightiest nation on earth. To maintain tbia position. free scope must be given to its further development, and. knowing, as we do. that the Democratic party has at all times clogged the wheel of progress-history bears this out and. believing., ns we do, that, true to its innate cature.it will act in the fnture as it did in the past, we will not follow Its allurements, but remain true to the' partv of the Union, the party of progress ind national honor."

Hamilton County's Toting Men Organize .Speeches by Chambers and Shocknej. Cpcclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Nobles ville. Ind., Aug. 23. The campaign in this county was opened yesterday, on tho part of the Republicans, in a manner that proved roost gratifying to the local managers. The occasion was the meeting of the young Republicans of the county in this city for the purpose of forming a county organization. There are already enrolled eight hundred young men, and the organization was completed to-day by the election of W. S. Christian president, E. C. Kenyon secretary, and a vice-president in each township. Immediately after perfecting the organization, there was a grand street parade, participated in by delegations from each townshirx . , A striking featnreof the parade was the appearance of the umbrella clubs of the county. At the head of the procession was the military band of this city, then followed the drum corp of colored Republicans, after that the Westfield Band furnished musio Jnr another division, followed by the Cicero Drum Corp. The best trimmed and most elaborate wagon of the day was from Westfield. The procession marched to tho L. E. &. W. railway station where it met the Hon. Theodore Shockuey and Smiley N. Chambers, both of whom delivered, speeches. In the afternoon Mr. Shockney, by reason of his experience in the State Senate, was Able to tell the taxpavors of the prutlgate and extravagant maunur in which the Democratic party, by repeated appropriations, had wasted public money and increased theState debt and taxes beyond all Teasoa.Mr.Chainber followed Mr.Shockney. lie paid his respects to the Democratic party as the alleged soldiers friend. There are several copies of tho Indianapolis Sentinel of the dale of Ho13, 18tf), carefully preserved in this city, and they are jnat now being re-read by the soldiers.who are 'trying to learn why the Sentinel in that issue said that "We are approaching the point where the soldiers' friend will be the enemy of the people." Although this was cot intended as a county rally, there were persons hore from every township in the county, and it shows that the Republicans of Hamilton cpnnty are awake and in earnest, and that they will give their usual, if not an increased, majority for both State and national tickets.

THE CRUISER NEW YORK. Mr. Crtmp Says the CLanjres in Armor Were Hade by the Ordnancs Foard.

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 2S.A dispatch from New York published in this morning'a Inquirer, which reilects upon the action of the Navy Department in changing the plans for vessels nnder. construction, caused a stir among naval officials, most of whom were puzzled as to how to answer the question whether the changes made were detrimental to the efficiency of these vessels, or whether they were due to blunders in design, or to the incapacity of the contractors to perform their', work. The case in question was that of the cruiser New York, that is now on its way to completion at Cramp's ship-yard. The changes made are mainly in reference to the armor, the intention being to use vertical faces .instead of the inclined armor plate, as originally called for. Anotberimportant chauge has been the removal of the ftve-ineh ammunition tube of armor whieh extended from the turret through the nnarmored main deck to the protected deck, preventing tbe supply of ammunition from being cut off, and protecting the ammunition and the men handling it against fragments of shell bursting on board between the hilt and barbottes. ; William Cramp, of the ship-building establishment, yesterday stated that his firm was, of course, not responsible for any changes, but was. compelled to obey orders as they came from the Secretary of the Navy. The trouble arose, he said, from a light in the department in Washington, and as long as the Ordnance Bureau instructed the construction of the vessel it would not be hard to see where the trouble lay. The ' armor, he said, as far as put on, was mostly according to the original design, but as soon as the other arrived it wonld do fastened to the vessel without delay. Mr. Cramp declined to give an opinion whether tbe efficiency of the cruiser would be impaired by the change of armor, remarking that no experiments in that line had ever been made to his knowledge. SUNDAY AT COAL CREEK. Service Interrupted by a Shot from a. Sharpshooter Statiore 1 on a Ahuntain. Nashville, Tenn.. Aag. 28. A dispatch from Coal Creek gives the following account of an attack by miners on the soldiers while engaged in religious services to-day: "Not a day passes over Coal Creek without its sensation. While the , brave boys in blue were gathered npon a grassy hillside to-day, listening to a sermon by Rev. Dr. Ramsey, of Murfreesboro, chaplain of tbe First Regiment, the services were rudely broken in upon by the sharp crack of a rifle on the mountain side above, and the ,4spiDg"of a bullet, as it passed close to the beads of the crowd. All eyes were turned toward tbe direction from whence came the sound. A lene eJiarp-ahooter, dressed in dark clothes and elouch hat, waa seen for a moment, aud then the man disappeared behind the rooks. Colonel Clark at ouce dispatched an order to Captain Roach, of the First ' Regiment, to send a voluuteer scout after the sharpshooter. The brave, captain himself hurried up the mountain-side and soon sighted the man, but he was even then disappearing away np on tbe mountain, and throe shots from the captain's gun failed to bring him down. The appearance of this scout of the miners immediately after the return of part of the. militia may have a great deal of significance, for there are well-founded reports of a large body of miners hidden away in tbe mountain, fastnesses. It is a puzzling question at headquarters whether or not to send a squad on a scouting trip into tbe mountains, where the mountaineer miners would have snch ,a. tremendous advantage over, the troops. Reiniorcements are now on their way here and will arrive .to-morrow. It has been decided to transfer several companies to Clinton, the county-seat, where all trials will take place, during the first weak in September." PDERTA CABEUiA CAPTDRED.

OPPOSITION TO THE MILITIA. It Was Favored by Founders of the CoTerntnent, as the Constitution Shows. Philadelphia Press. The adoption by the State Federation of Labor, at its meeting in Chester, of a resolution antagonistic to the National Guard is signiticant, Tbe federation wants its members to withdraw from tbe guard and tooDposoit. The founders of the government regarded the militia of so much importance that they made for it special provision in the Constitution in order that it should be fostered and encouraged: In 1KW, when Thomas J etl'erson was President, Congress, on his recommendation, made a permanent annual appropriation of 200,000 a year to encourage the militia. Trj&t was about S cents per capita.' Now. although the population is nearly ten times as great. Congress is only appropriating $400,000 for the militia, or about H a cent per capita. It took a great ellort to get that increase made in lbSo, and it was opposed by Hoiman. Springer. Morrison and other Democrats under the lead of Weaver, of Iowa, the present candidate of tne People's party for President. The Senate increased the appropriation to CU0.0-J0. but the House refused to agree to the increase. The national laws relating to the militia are now antiquated, and there is great need of. new legislation on the subject. At tbe recent session of Congress a majority of the House committee agreed on such a bill, but tbe Democratic chairman, Mr. Lane, of Illinois, refused to call a meeting .to report the bill; and hev defeated, with tbe aid of theSpeakerand Holman, an ellort to get the bill up in tbe House. At this time, when the country wonld be In a state of anarchy except for the militia, it is worth while recalling these facts. It is amazing that any patriotic citizen should oppose the National Guard. That a body of men, the majority of whom have been reared nnder European governments, maintaining enormous standing armies, should meet in Chester, and denounce the militia system established by the founders of the Republic, is significant of the spread of anarchistio ideas. And yet what better ia to be expected when Demooratio leaders, such as Holman and Springer, opposed any increase to the permanent appropriation made inlSOSto maintain a militia force! If it were not for tbe militia force the oonntry would have to maintain a large standing army. We have couie upon strange times indeed when Democratic "statesmen" and au organized body claiming to represent several hundred thousand workmen openly oppose a militia force, which is practically our only protection from invasion or from domestio foes. Aids to Fast Horses. Kanras City Times. The pneumatic-tired, ball-bearings sulky, ably assisted by some excellent horseilesh, has been breaking souie more records in Missouri. Nancy Hanks and Hal Pointer owe something of their new records to the new sulky. This is progress with a jump. The kite-shaped track was another jump.
