THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1892.

Ptates, passed In 1789. or the debate In tbe first House of Representatives when i was under dismaston. In that limine there were ten members -who had K en member ot the convention - which framed the Constitution. Mr. MadUouwas the lender on The floor, and he conducted the tlrt revenue bill through the House. Washington was President of the United states, Hamilton was Secretary of the Treasury. Jefferson wat becretnry of btato and Udmund Kandolph was Attomey-srcneraL f those four men did not know for what purpose the first revenue law was enacted, and why it wan made a highly pro tec tire tariff, I heg to ask ubo did know! The record shows. Let me now place side by side the antl-protco tion plank in the Democratic platform and the preaiunle of the art of 17s9, aud here let me ask my Iemocratic readers whether ex-Presl-dent Cleveland, Senator Hill and other leaders of the Democratic party, at the present day. are better exionenta of the Constitution than Madison, Vabtneton, Hamilton, Jetlerson, i:andolph and the generation of men who established it:

Anli-Profertion Plank ofpreamUe of the Firtt the Democratic l'lat-i Tari tf A cr, tatted July form, 4, Whe'-s, It is neeetWe denounce Eepubliran protection a a nary for the support of fraud unon the labor ofthe irovernment, for tho the irreat majority of discharge of the debts tho A merican people for or the unuea etates, and the encouragement and protection ttf inann furturc, that duties be laid on goods, wares and merchandise imroriod: tne neneut ot the lew. We declare It to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal government has no constitu lie It enacted, etc., that tional power to Impose from and after the first and collect tariff duties, day of August next enexcept for the purpoae'suinjr, the several duties of revenue only. Welhereinafter mentioned demand that the collection of such taxes be limited to the ucces! ties of the government shall be laid on the following good, wares and merchandise imported Into the United btatea when honestly and eco-from any foreign rort comically adn.lnlstered.lor piace. Requesting my readers to keep this preamble before them, I shall. In f utare communications, show that in every instance in which there were already exlstlujr manufactures with which foreign products came into competition the duties were so laid as to afford proper encouragement and protection to our own manufacturers, and that many duties were laid for the express purpose ot raising np manufactures and agricultural products that did not then exist in the United fctates. felnce the foregoing was written Mr. Cleveland's letter accepting the Democratic nomination, and planting himself squarely on the antlJ protection plank of the Democratic platform, las been published. I shall speak of it in iuy next. In the meantime I remain very truly yours, George Tickjor Curtis. i THIRD PAIITY MOWIIERE. , Georgia Democrats Carry the State by 80,000 Majority Fatal Affray. United Press Dispatch. ' Atlanta, Go., Oct. Georgia has voted tho Democratic ticket by about eighty thousand. At noon it was admitted that the Democrats had thirty thousand majority, tne agricultural counties being conceded to tho People's party. It was here that the surprise was shown. When the reports from these counties began to come they showed a steady stream of majorities for the Democrats. The hot-beds of third- ' partyism came np with surprisinn changes of front. The People's party leaders were completely demoralized. Kockdale, tho homo county of candidate Peck, of the People's party, gave 500 majority for Governor Northen. the Democratic candidate. t.Tbe only person sanguine enough to venture a prediction of 75,(xX) majority last night was elector B. M. Blackburn, and to-night he is bailed as a prophet in politics. Following is the ticket, elected: Governor. W. J. Jsorthen; Secretary of State, Philip Cook, Controller, Uen. Wm. A. Wright; Treasurer, 11 LT. Hardeman: Attorney-general. Joseph M. Terrell. Keports from many places say tbat the negroes openly voted the Democratic ticket. . An Associated Press dispatch says: "J?eturns lrom seventy-live counties out of a total of 137 give the Democratic ticket a majority of over thjrty thousand. There seems to be no possible doubt tbat the majority -will reach 50,000 when the Tote of all the counties is in. The tlnrd-partyites will probably carry six or eight counties for the Legislature, and jt is estimated that their strength will be about twenty members of the House out of 175. Isaiah Morton, colored, was shot and killed by Daniel Bowles at tho poor-houe precinct, six miles from Augusta, to-day. A number of Democratic negroes, led by Howies, were marching to the polls, when eight or ten third-party negroes, led by llorton, rushed into the .Democratic line. liorton ran np and struck Lowlen twice, knocking him to his knees, lie bad his hand ou liowles's collar, and was preparing to strike him a third time, when Howies drew a pistol and shot him through the heart. A coroner's jury composed of four Democrats and two third party men rendered a verdict of justitiable homicide. INDIAN VOTERS. Four Hundred Red Alep Listen to Speeches by Senator Pettirw nd Others.

She said that ail hope was gone. Tennyson's mind was unclouded, and he knew tbat his remaining hours of life were few. He had talked tranquilly of his death with his wife and his son Hallam. He seemed to be perfectly happy and free from pain. Lady Clark spoke with tears as she told of tbe scene at the bedside. All hope of Tennyson's recovery was abandoned between 11 and 12 o'clock last night. Tho bnlletin at 5 o'clock this morning said that do change in the patient's condition was apparent. At 6 o'clock tbe gardener came out and fastened with a stout rope the rustic gate at the front entrance to the grounds around the house and tied a basket to the latch. He explained that Tennyson was very near death and tbe family wished to secure perfect quiet by the exclusion of all visitors from the grounds. Tbe basket was for tbe cards of friends or admirers who might como for tho last news of tbe poet's condition. At 9 o'clock a bulletin concerning the course of the disease during the nigbt was given to tbe reporters who waited at the entrance. It stated tbat Tennvson's coudition had shown no marked change since last night. He was extremely weak. The bnlletin was fastened to the rustio gate for the information of persons who might come later. As the morning advanced many men arrived at Aldworth from London and joined the watchers. Hour after hour passed without news from the sick-chamber, yet the groups at the gate waited patiently. At 2 o'clock a bulletin posted on the gate anuounced tbat Tennyson was near his end. He could last but a few hours more. Between 12 and 2 o'cIock many persons called and left after dropping. lueircarus imo me uaaeu Jiuuureus oi telegrams and letters of inquiry were brought from the postoQice. They were from all parts of Great Britain and the continent, and 'the man servant was kept busy receiving them at the door. Toward evening most of the watchers went to Haslemero or London, leaving only the reporters at the gate. At nightfall the windows of Aldworth, which were- left dark last evening, were . lighted, nd the large bow window opposite the terrace steps was thrown open. Those outside thought tbe poet was dead, but this impression was corrected by the bulletin at 6:05 o'clock. Dr. Dabbs says tbat Tennyson's acnte illcess began on Sept. 27. He was chilled while driving, and the severe cold which he then caught developed rapidly into influenza. Being asked whether there was not a slight chance of the poet's recovery, JJr. Dabbs replied decisively: "There is absolutely no hope. Lord Tennyson has always enjoyed a vigorous constitution, which enables him to make a prolonged struggle with death. He has slept a good deal during tbese final hours, but only lor short Seriods. He is nourished with beef tea, randy and milk." On being questioned as to whether Lord Tennyson appeared to know that his end was near. Dr. Dabbs replied: "1 cannot say for certain, but I think he does." Tennyson's illness has produced a remarkable interest in his personality among the people of rural districts, where be has lived for twenty years almost unobserved by them. ExceptProfessor Tyndall. who lives at Hyudhead, and a few of tbe poet's wealthier neighbors, the people heretofore have paid little attention to his coming and goinir. To-day, however, the simplest of his neighbors have made pilgrimages to Aldworth to gather meaare bits of information of the poet's last hours. Lady Tennyson is nearly heartbroken over her husband's dangerous condition. She visited his bedside at a late hour last night. Sbe bears her deep sorrow with admirable fortitude.. The Venezuelan Revolution. . .New York, Oct. 5. The steamship Venezuela, which arrived to-day from Laguayra, brought the latest news from tbe Venezuelan revolution. As all airs stand now, the long struggle is nearing its end, and will result in tbe overthrow of the government which has made such a persistent fight. According to the reports. General Colino, with a lorce ot 6,000 men, joined (General Cresuo. tbe revolutionist leader, at Valencia, Sunday, tept. 2. This, they say. made General Crespo's force fully Iti.lOO men. General Crespo has with him two foreign generals, a German named AViderman and an Italian named Bettalli. He has twelve pieces of artillery, and has possession of every city and etrungbuld excepting Las Peques, Maricaibo and Caracas. At Las Peques tbe revolutionists will fight their decisive battle.
