This Republicans a train hare, "a move cnn their old foe, the Democracy. Forct: the fightinj: early and late; there is elegant fighting all along the line. If Repnhlicans fail to stamp right on election day they must not kick the day after. The maddened Democratic leaders have fallen back upon lying and bagatoos. One wail moro from Grover Cleveland and the Democratic party will become a howling mob. After the Bull Run and the Chlekamanga of 1800 comes the Republican Appomattox of 1S00. ,vThe conrt-honAo is infested with a crovrd of tax-eaters, and the longer they remain the hungrier they become. To the ancient Democratic cry of 'boodle" the Republicans respond with that hoary exclamation of contempt, "rats." Grover Cleveland is tho first presi dential candidate who ever belittled the petition by screaming "Fer-rawd! Ferrawdl" Henry lEonaz, the Democratic freetrader and single land-tax advocate, tJti "Tho cnly reason for Mr. C to ve

in r.d's nomination, and the thing that

forct'd his nomination, in ppite of all tho effort of politicians, was the fact that, in the minds of the Democratic masses, h r-prepiit the idea of free trade." L'vervbody knows this is true, yet Mr. Cleveland, in his letter of acceptance, tried hard to create a different impression. AN APPEAL TO STATE PRIDE. The nomination of General Harrison four years ago appealed at- once very ptrongly to the sentiment of Stato pride. To be iu with, ho was by ancestry, birth, breeding, education, training and tastes essentially a Western man. By family tradition and personal experience he was wholly identified with the section of tho country of which Indiana is a part. In tho next place, he was an Indiana man. His whole adult lift' had been passed in the State. His character and career were well known to its people. He was known to be a man of great ability and spotless life. By his frequent canvass ing of the. Stato bis name had become familiar as household words. Ho had filled the position of United States Senr.tcr with great honor, and had long been distinctly recognized by tho people as a orebKiential possibility. up to that time Indiana had never had a candidate for President. Morton and Hendricks had both been urged for tho nomination by their respective parties, but neither had succeeded in obtaining it. It wns reserved for a man consider ably 3'onngt r than either of them to at tain tho honor to which they had as pired in vain. For it is an honor to bo worthily nominated for Freside'nt, even if one is not elected. The nomination of General Harrison was a distinct rec ognition of his fitness for tho position as well as his availability, and his friends in Indiana recognized it as an honor to tho State. It brought the State and city of his residence at.onceinto great prom inence. Millions of peoplo began to talk about the Indiana roan. Hoosiers everywhere were .proud of tho honor that had come to the State, and espe cially in the knowledge that it was so worthily bestowed. They resolved that the next President should bo an Indiana man. No party ever worked with more zeal, determination and enthusiasm to accomplish a purpose than tho Republicans of Indiana did to elect Harrison. They were brimful of the sentiment of State pride proud that the State had been permitted to name a prebidential candi date fur tho Republican party, and proud that it had named Benjamin Harrison. They worked hard and effectively, and Harrison was elected. His administration is part of the history of the country. There it stands it speaks for itself. It is conceded on all hands and by everybody that tho country never had a better. It has been said by Democratic papers that the second candidacy of General Harrison does not nppeal to State pride as his first did that that sentiment has exhausted itself and cannot bo made to eerveasecond time. The Journal believes this is far from being true. To admit it would be to aver that the people of Indiana do not know when they aro well off; that. they are iucapablo of rating at its proper valuo a ,rnre political honor; that they are ungrateful and unappreciative; that they are inaccessible to tho strongest arguments that can appeal to tho sensibilities of men, and' lacking in the spirit that should characterize every State in helping to confer honor on one of its citizens. Tho Journal does not hesitate to say that Gen. Harrison is even moro worthy of the enthusiastic support of tho Republicans of Indiana and of receiving the electoral vote of the State now than ho was four years ago. If ho was worthy then, he is doubly so now. He deserves the honor of receiving for a second time the electoral vote of the Stato because, by his administration of tho national government, ho has conferred great and lasting honor on tho State. It is true, in a sense, that he is not so distinctively an Indiana candidate as ho was four years ago. Now his, fame is continental and his candidacy is national. But he is still Benjamin Harrison of Indiana. His heart and home are still here. Within a few days he has accompanied the mortal remains of his boloved wife from Washington and laid them to rest in Indiana soil. Hither he will retnrn when his term of office expires, and his body, too, .will find its last resting-place in the soil of Indiana. He Is still an Indiana man. How unreasonable, therefore, would it be, how inconsistent, how indefensible, how ungrateful, how utterly unaccountable for any Indiana man who voted for Harrison four years ago not to do so now. Nay, more; thousands of Indiana men who did not vote for him four years ago ought to do eo now because of the record he has made and the honor he has brought the State. If tho peoplo of Indiana aro truo to themselves and to the best interests of the State, if they are true to the impulse of genuine State pride, they will give Benjamin Harrison four times as large a plurality as they did tour years ago. By 6o doing they will cause it to be written in history that they were neither unappreciative nor ungrateful, and that, in common with their countrymen of other States, they recognized the merits of one of the greatest of American Presidents. T7HAT FREE BiLVEE C0I2TAGE 70ULD REAR.

Tho Democratic party is on record in favor of free silver coinage, and Mr. Bynum, Democratic candidate for Congress in this district, is fully committed by his votes and speeches to that policy. There are many advocates of free coinaco who possibly do not understand tho effect such a system would have upon the business of this country. If free coinage should be permitted, and silver be a legal tender, as it is at this time, tho price of bullion would be $1.2!) per ounce, which is its valuo when at par with gold. This would be a very satisfactory arrangement for the owners of productive mines, but would prove disastrous to the general interests of tho country. The product of silver in this country would bo doubled within two years. There aro hundreds of mines in the silver-producing States that are now -

lying idlo because of the low price of silver bullion. But recently the great Hecla mine, owned largely by residents of this city, was t?but down because, at tho present low price of silver, it could, no longer bo worked at a profit. The market price of silver bullion is 80 cents per ounce. Pat the price up to $1.20 an ounce, and almost every mine iu the laud can be made to pay. There is an inexhaustible supply of lowgrade ores in the West ore that will yield, 6ay, twenty ounces to the ton which cannot be worked at a profit with bullion at SO cents, as this would produce but 81C Put bullion up to $1.29 per ounce, and this ore would pay $26 to the ton, and at that price it would pay to open up all the mines. But these mines would produce but a portion of our supply of bullion under the inflation of price that free coinage would bring about. The producers of silver have, up to this time, fought every effort to limit the coinage of silver to the product of American mines. They demand free coinnge for the silver product of the world! At this time Mexico can send us 6'20.CO0,0OO of silver bullion per year.

and within two years, under this great advance in price, will possibly bo able to ship in $40,000,000. What can we do with itT We can only do iust what Mexico is doing to-day and eho is not eo surfeited with silver as this country will be in time if free coinage isadopted make gold an articlo of merchandise, and pay for it a premium such as bankers and brokers may fix upon it. The only relief that Mexico has against the ill eflects of free coinage is that the Mexican dollar is the only foreign silver coin that can bo circulated in China. Rvery vessel that sails from San Francisco to China carries these dollars away from our shores. A study of the financial column of a San Francisco daily will show how tho prico of these Mexican dollars goes up about the timo a vessel is ready to sail, and how it goes down after its departure. If this outlet should bo closed the people of Mexico would bo surfeited with silver, and tho premium on gold in that country would riso far above its present exorbitant rate. Our country would have no such outlet for its silver coinage, and tht-re would -be no relief from an over-abundant issue of cheap money. Tho inhabitants of Mexico, from Chihuahua to Yucatan, and from tho j?ulf to the Pacific, have no knowledge of gold as a circulating: currency. If the necessity arises in that country for the use of a few dollars of gold coin it can only bo obtained by tho payment of a premium of 35 per cent, from those who gather it up and hold it for speculative purposes. If a merchant has need of a bill of exchange on the United States, England or Germany he will be obliged to pay for it a premium of from CG to 40 per cent. Mexico purchases largely from abroad and manufactures but little at home. v The result is that merchandise of all kinds is sold at inflated prices because of the increased cost, and this cost is largely made up of the premium on gold and foreign exchange. Let us illustrate the advantage of free coinage to tho producer of silver bullion. At tho present time a bar of silver con taining one thousand ounces of fine silver, if sold at market prices, would produce $800. Under free coinage, as demanded by tho advocates of silver currency, this bar could be sent to the mint and coined into silver dollars without cost to the owner. In each dollar thus coined there will bo but 371 grains of fine silver. The bar contains 4S0.000 grains, which; with the usual alloy added, would produce in coin tho sum of $1,290. This shows a profit of $490 on each one thousand ounces of silver product over and abovo present profit, and this would stimulate tho mining industry of this and other countries until our pqoplo wonld bo flooded with a metallic currency that in timo would become almost as cheap as iron. The evils of free silver coinage aro so menacing and the results of that policy would bo eo disastrous that no party or public man that favors it should receive tho support of any well-wisher of his country. K0W AND THEM. Two years ago every Democratic and free-trade paper contained column after column of figures showing the then existing prices of goods and the prices which would come with the McKinley law. Every Democratic orator took' about with him samples of goods with the then prices attached and the prices which would come when McKinley's law should appear in all its hidcousness. Chairman Jewett time and again printed a display scare appeal to Democrats to rally at the polls and rebuke the authors of a law which would increase the price of all the manufactured staple articles from 23 to 50 per cent. Pages were taken up in percentages showing how much more tho people would be compelled to pay for hosiery, dress goods, tinware, everything, because the duty had been raised to transfer tho manufacture to this country. The crossroads orator turned himself into a sample man, anil in pathetic tones told the story of tho McKinley outrage. When the campaign opened they began the same free-trade cry. They denied that wages had been increased in any manner, or that there had been an increase qf manufacturing under the McKinley law. In the national platform the Democratic leaders made the absurd statement that under the Republican tariff policy tho sherifFa business was the only prosperous one. Then came the Senato report declaring that wages had advanced under the McKinley law, and that the prices of the neces-, saries of lifo were even lower than they wero before its passage. Then came the Peck report, followed by the labor reports of Massachusetts and other States, showing improved wages and wider employment under the McKinley law.These were followed by other reports showing the advantages of piotection, which became so positive that candid people have accepted them. Now, two years after the raid on the McKinley prices, tho benefits of that law have come to be so generally admitted that the ultra free-trade press of the country has dropped its chatter

about protective monopolies and begun shouting "force bill." A week before the election, failing to stem the resistless sweep of the Republican party to victory, Democratic press and orators have set up the cry of Vboodle" and intimidation, thns admitting that they have piven up tho fight upon real issues and turned to beating tom-toms, and to attempts to frighten the American people with bugaboos!

PRESIDENT HARBISON AND MEXICAS PES810X3. The Journal has received several inquiries relative to the action of General Harrison upon measurestopension thoso who served in the Mexican war. Democrats having in several instances asserted that he voted against such propositions. Here aro the facts as they appear in the Congressional Record: The first Mexican pension bill to reach the Senate while General Harrison was a member was one previously passed by tho House and which was taken up in the Senate May 28, 1884. Many amendments were offered, but General Harlison sustained the features of the bill giving pensions to all Mexican veterans. Indeed, he offered one Of tho most important amendments, which was to strike out the sixty days1 service required to insure a pension and make it fourteen days. This proposition was made June 20, 1894, and carried. Subsequently a proviso was offered to the bill which excluded those from its benefits who incurred their disability in aiding the war of the rebellion. General Harrison and every other Republican voted for that loyal proposition. The bill thus amended was passed yeas 37, nays 27 General Harrison voting for it, while all the Democrats voting, except three, voted against it, becauso ex-confederates were excluded, Mr. Voorhees dodging, as usual. The bill thusamended went back to the House, where no action .was taken during that session. Tho matter came up as new in the next Congress, and the Senate, without division, passed a bill pensioning all Mexican soldiers, including ex-confederates whose political disabilities had been removed. That is. General Harrison voted for it with all others, and this was July 12, 188C. That was the last vote in the Senato on the Mexican bill, an the IIouso took up tho Senato bill Ja-jy 17, 1837, and , passed it, and President Cleveland approved it. This is all there is of it. General Harrison voted for the most liberal propositions for pensioning tho soldiers of the Mexican war, and never voted against one. Tho liars aro very desperate. "LET WELL EK0UGH ALONE,'.' Everywhere one bears men saying "Let woll enough alone." It is a sound, maxim in business, and a maxim sound in business applies to all tho affairs of life. As a peoplo wo aro the most prosperous in the world. We are prosperous becauso wo have had moro than a quarter of a century of an economic policy which the Republican party has adopted, and to which it is pledged.- That policy tho Democratic party avows it will root out and destroy. . For weeks business men have been asking: With this general prosperity, is such a radical chango desirable! All over the country they have been answering tbeir own question with "let well enough alone," until now their voice rises abovo the ordinary cries of tho campaign. They know that the triumph of Mr. Cleveland would be felt in every factory, in every business direction and in every home in the land. They know that such a change, involving, as it would, a free-trade-and-State-bank Congress, as well as President, for the first time since the dis graceful and disastrous era of. JameBuchanan, would fill business circles with uncertainty, even if it did not keep its pledges. Uncertainty for six months would closo factories, fill warehouses with unsold goods, check tho high tide of traffic and paralyze enterprise. But the Democratic party in full power for the first time since I860 would reverse the policy of protection under which tho country has made such marvelous progress. Every sensible man in the country who is candid knows this, and whether wage-earner, farmer, merchant, manufacturer, the great mass of tho industrial force of the country is uniting in tho cry, "Let well enough alone." AS TO THE PRICE OP WHEAT. During the four years of Mr. Cloveland's administration the average price of No. 2 wheat at Chicago ranged as follows: lptto R8U cents. 1886 THLj cents. 18S7 75 cents. 1SSS..... 88 U cents. Average for lour years. 82 cents. During the four years of General Harrison's administration tho average prico of wheat was as follows: 1SS9 86" cents. 181)0 S9t cents. 18'Jl 0.7n rents. 1802 SlHs cents. Average for four years cents. Notwithstanding the fact that the prico of wheat during tho present year has been, according to Democratic organs, "the lowest point ever reached," the average price during four years of Harrison's administration has been G cents per bushel higher than during four years of Cleveland's administration. The average price during four years is a much better criterion than a comparison of one month or one season with another. THE WAIL OP THE "DEFEATED. Mr. Cleveland's last speech is the wail of one who feels that he is defeated. It is a chapter of political lamentations, not the stirring note of one who looks forward to triumph. TheTO is not a hopeful word in it either for his party, the country or himself. Ho sees no bright future; ho has nothing but croaking for tho country. Tho people are mercenary and the election methods of his opponents which will carry the country aro corrupt. He sees that he will be beaten, and he who has gono down on his knees, and, to use the words of one of the gang, "groveled in tho dust" to secure the support of Tammany Hall, croaks about corrupt methods. Ho' knows that intolerance, pro

seription and fraud permit but one party in two-thirds the States which have ever given him electoral votes, and that there has not been ft real election in any of them for a dozen years, and yet he talks of the corruption of voters! The worshiper of Tammany, whose record for years is made np of pillage, corruption and ballot-box crimes, he stands forth to tell the American people, who do not want him for President nor his free-trade policy for the country, that they are wanting in patriotism and are influenced by mercenary considerations! This would be impudence in any other man, but in Mr. Cleveland, whom the mugwumps believe one of destiny's great men, it is simply stupidity. Those who have charge of Mr. Cleveland would do well to keep him off tho stump. Such a wail as the last will lose him thousands of votes, for thousands will not vote for a man who practically waits over his defeat.

VOTE THE STRAIGHT TICKET. This Is a year when every voter who supports the principles of the Republican party should vote the straight Republican ticket. On national issues there is no half-way ground. It is a choice between protection and reciprocity, national banks and a sound, uniform currency on one hand, and free trade and wild-cat paper money on the other. Harrison and Cleveland represent these opposing. ideas and policies, and no person should try to persuade himself that in voting for either candidate he is not voting for what the candidate represents. In State affairs the line is as clearly and distinctly drawn. Thero is a growing feeling that the best interests of the State demand a change in the administration of its affairs, and the success of the Republican party at this time is demanded by the general welfare. Tho same is truo in county affairs. The Republican party ever moro distinctly represented the cause of good government and general prosperity than it does this year. Therefore we repeat, every person who sympathizes with these principles should vote tho straight Republican ticket, . national, State and county. The way to do this is to stamp once in tho square surrounding the eagle device on both ballots. There is no reason why any Republican should vote a mixed ticket, and the attempt to do so will be very apt to result in tho loss of your vote. Railroad men do well to trust their welfare to President Harrison. He has shown himself their friend as no President has ever done before by recommendations for legislation in their behalf in three of his messages to Congress. Four years ago railroad employes supported him with groat enthusiasm, and there is every reason why this enthusiasm should not be abated,' but rather increased, as it is in this campaign. Since the President is not here to speak for himself and to greet the men who are to hold their rally tonight, the Journal republishes a speech of four years ago which is not less appropriate to this occasion. Those tax-payers who find themso'.ves paying nearly double the tax this year that, they paid last, on homes only partly paid for, are reminded that when the Democratic tax law was pending Republican Senator Mount offered an amendment providing that the amount of tho outstanding mortgage should bo taken from tho appraisal of tho property, and it was rejected by Democratic Senators, thus refusing to do for the holders of email quant ities of real estato what they did for the holders of moniTi stocks, notes, etc., when they provided that their liabilities shall be deducted from their total holdings. ' In a little over five years William W. Spencer drew from the county treasury $16,038. or $3,207 a year. He drew this amount by the approval of the County Commissioners while under contract with them to attend to all the business of tho county for $2,000 a year. This is but one item of tho reckless expenditure which characterizes tho court-house coterie. The 'first year that Thomas Taggart was auditor of Marion county he drew $10,5S7.20 from tho treasury. During the year which ended Nov. 1, 1892, he drew $25,209.30. This is an increase of $8,C22.1G in four years, or nearly 53 per cent. No wonder taxes aro increasing. Mr. Taggart is an ornament to the county, but ornaments may become too costly. - Evert day now the tax-payers of Indiana are paying large sums to the county treasurers, and the State treasury is being rapidly replenished on account of the second installment of taxes due under the new law. The people are realizing anew that Democracy is a tax. . TnE few things which havo been discovered about tho plumbing of the poor-house afford reason to believe that the workof the County Commissioners is honeycombed with wastefulness and favoritism in short, with pilfering from the tax-payers of Marjon county. Attention- is called to the communication of the State Board of Election Commissioners relative to the stamping of constitutional amendments and local matters, in which it is declared that to stamp opposite them does not invalidate a ticket stamped in the square. All this talk about "boodle" which Democratic organs are making is wind.. The truth is, tho Republicans in this county have not had the money necessary to carry on tho legitimate campaign which they are pushing against Taggart, Coy, Wilson & Co. The fact that the man who has beeu selected to manipulate the Democratic election machinery has been in the penitentiary for ballox-box crimes serves to make the candidacy of the man who broke a ballot-box open with an ax consistent, if not respectable. . In Fall River, Mass., on Monday, at a meeting of the treasurers of the cotton manufacturing corporations, the motion of a Republican to advance wages 7 per cent, wasdofeated by all the mugwumps,

who are Cleveland men, refusing to join in the movement.

The clerk of Scott county, if the reports are true, made a bid for the penitentiary when holeft the ballots intrusted to his care where they could be broken open. Because ho lives in a Bourbon county he may escape. The national Democratic committee, in its campaign text-book, declares that national paper money is unconstitutional. That may be true, but no man ever had a dollar of it lose valuo while in his possession. The United States commissioner has issued seven hundred warrants in New York city for the arrest of those who have illegally registered. It looks like a bad season for Tammany's repeating pang. - Because things are turning our way. Republicans should not let up a jot in their efforts. Rather let us put more effort into the fight and turn an ordinary victory into an Appomattox. If Republicans have the courage of their convictions. Democrats have the courage of their convicts. Witness Simeon Coy in charge of the Democratic campaign in Marion connty. TnE wage-earner who votes the Cleveland ticket declares that he yearns to be put "on a plane of equality with the labor of Europe," to use the phrase of free-trader Mills. From Aug. 20, 1890, to . Aug. 20, 1892. George Woif, assessor of Center township, drew from tho people's treasury $5,450.00. It seems to be a case of tho wolf and tho lamb. Enthusiasm is a great thing, but pcr: sonal effort with neighbors and friends, with a view of converting them to the Republican faith, is vastly more effective. TnE chosen candidate of Tammany, holding up his hands in holy horror and imputing election frauds to his opponents, is a sight to mnke angels.weep. TnE last Indianapolis argument for protection is that every man employed in its manufactures received 25 percent, more wages in 1890 than in 1880. Vote the Republican county ticket in full, that the extravagance of the courthouse ring may be laid bare to the ntonishment of tho tax-payers. Tiik official list of candidates t be voted for in New York city gives both the residence and place of business of each candidate. One hundred and ten names appear on the 'Socialist-Labor" ticket. m Only seventeen of these have any deeisnated place of business; the rest being marked "none," or not marked at all. An nrticle in the current number of trie Itorth American Review la beaded, "Are There Too Many of Us!" The question answers itself. There may be too many of the other fellows sometimes, bat never too many of ns. SuBScmrtKii: Harrison's vote in Indiana in 188S was 2C3.3G1; Cleveland. 0,013.

Another great Republican meeting wai held at the Grand Opera-house last eyeaing, exceeding in tho number present tht outpouring of the prevloua night. The speaker of the evening was to have been the eloquent Judge Tenney, of Brooklyn, X. Y., but incessant speaking and the tray, eling it had entailed proved almost too much for him, and tor the greater partot the day he was conticed to his room at the Denison. Under these circumstances the arrival in the city at 5 o'clock iait evening of Attorney-General W. II. IL Miller, who is to deliver an address at El wood to-day, was hailed as a godsend, and he acquiesced in the request made by Ccairmaa Gowdy to be the tiist speaker, to be followed, if hia hearth wonld permit, by Judge Tenney in a brief talk. The Opera-house began to till early, the boxes being mostly occupied by ladies who seem to be taking agreat deal of interest in the outcome of this campaign, ana w beu. shortly after 8 o'clock, the Brotherhood Band, whioh had been playing in front ot the theater, tiled in every seat downstairs waa occupied and the atandinit space in the foyer had been taken. Rapidly the balcony accumulated a crowd, and when the chairman of the meeting. Dr. Walker, announced that in all probability Jndze IVnuey would not be heard, but that his pi c would be filled by other prominent spe..era. on thousand people were in the audience. The decorations had been left as ttey were on the previoua evening, the etaes was occupied by many prominent Republicans, and the audience was all That eould have been desired in the way of intelligence, good r iT and its strong inclination to let go of great chunks of enthasiaitn. After a patriotio air by the Brotherhood Band, Chairman Wrlker gently tapped for order, lie aaid he .id not arico to introduce to the people tLeir fellow-townsman, the Attorney-geuerni of the United Mates, because he ueeded no introduction, but in his presence he wan ten I to say that in twenty-five years no abler man than Mr. Miller had occupied hia high otlice. Ihis sentiment was greeted with applause, and Mr. Miller arose, TIIK ATTORN'EY-GI'.NEKAL'S address.

The sayinir of iff, Baal could well he applied to it: 'It Is ail tliiust to all men in the hope that it may save some votes. Applause. "Moralist say," continued the speaker, "that there is no such thing us unmixed evil. .Statisticians inform us that cholera saves more lives than it takes by stimulatititf sanitation. Thnt may bo true; it may be that our back yards sometimes need a little political sanitation, but woe betide that country or community wberoeithercholera or Democracy Incomes epidemic lAndatise.l vVe Lav had an epidemic of leuiecracy in this Mate, and one r-sult was tu increase of several millions of dollar in the tStnte debt." Cheers.1 The speaker theu relerred in a telling manner to the evil of Democracy as shown in tbo J?ontli. lie declared that there, where Democracy is practically the only party, it is mtoleraut to a degree, aud tha ellect is to drive . away capital, naturallvtimid in contact with sneh an influence, making that part of the country a paradise lor usurers and land sharks. It wai this intolerunt spirit of Democracy, he averred, that caused interest at the rate of 1 cent a mouth to be charged In Birmingham, Ala., one of the greatest manufacturing centers of tht fcouth. Next he pointed out the great number of defalcations accruing among the pnblio oib'cials In the .South, and said it tended to illustrate a fact, which, being axiomatic, needed no proof, namely, thai men who cheat and bind themselves ta fraud in elections very soon cease to discriminate between friends and political opponents, and are not very scrupulous regarding publie funds in their chare. A WORD AllOUT FRAUDS The Democratic pre, the speaker said, Demccratio committee circulars, and even Mr.Cleve land, iu a recent addresaccuse the Republican party of all kinds of fraud. If it were true that Republicans committed the frauds be wanted to know how to explain the fact that it is the Democrats who have been sent to the penitentiary for such misdemeanors. Cheers. He theu cited a number of cases where, in the past few years. Democrats have tried to improve upon tally-sheets by forgery, only to find tbeir way into the penitentiary, and. said he, "in lS(i some of your neighbora hero applause even by the worst kind of fraud attempted to improve the tally-sheets. Well, the result in theircase you all know. Cheers.1 Of course. 1 do not think all Democrats engage in these practicesor cou done then. nor that a majority do. but in th lceof auch a record I think the howl about Kepublican fraud comes in poor grace." The speaker then read from the latest Demoeratio platform the plank declaring for a tariil for revenue only, and alluded to the fact that at the recent Democratic national convention a plank declaring foe a ditlerent kind of a tarifl, although it wai taken to Chicago with Mr. Cleveland's in dorsement. had been rejected by two. thirds of the convention. Contrasting the revenne tarill plank with previous utterances from the same nrce since 1N, ha showed conclusively that Leretotore tho Democratic party has always declared for some sort of a protective taritt, only to come in now with tbeinherited Democratic slogan that a protective tar ill is unconstitutional. With such a record as this, he said, it looked as if the Democratic party was looking after the Interests' of the people of foreign lands, instead of those of the United Stotea. Cheers. Beginning with the wariuacgnrated to pat down the rebellion the speaker taid the Democrats had declared every great and important measure accompli-hed by the Republican party unconstitutional. uot withstanding the fact that in each case the Supremo Conrt, composed many times of Democrats, had declared them constitutional. The Mclvinley bill, he said, was tha latest evidence in this line, and the oh; fa miliar cry waa still ringing in tho ears of the people. A little attention was theu paid to the Fiftieth and i'llty-tirst Con. greases. The only hing the Democrats had done in the Fiftieth Congress, he said, wai to admit, near the end of the arssion, four new states which should hava been admitted long before, this wasdone because the Democrats knew that no power could keep the Fifty-first Congaea from admittiug them. REPl'ltLICAN LfclJISLATIOX. He then spoke of the magnificent record of the Fiftv-firat Congress, which he said might be called the greatt Congress ever
