EUE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. WEDNESDAY OCTOBEK 3, IS83.

WEDXKjSDaY, OCTOBER 3.

Old Joe Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune, a red hot Republican sheet, declared before the United Senate Committee cn Education and Labor that "tue tresext tariff was FLEEcixQ FARMER?, and they are beginning to understand it. "We do not find our matches any cheaper Eince the removal of the internal revenue lax. Probably this is on the same line as indicated by an exchange, which says ''that ever since the tax on tobacco was reduced freetraders have been able to buy good fivecent cigars for ten cents right along." Referring to the Ohio election, ',the News Journal says: The Republicans everywhere are Just beginning to realize that they have teen shoutinc about Ohio before they were out of the woods. They are losing continence and courage oa the homo stretch. .And well thev mar. The reports received by their committee from "the country districts show the most pxtraordinary Democratic sains. The wool jrrowers,.! the Stale are not only solidly against the Kepubiu.. ticket, but they have effected an organization in everj -.otin? Precinct for special work at the polls on election day. Mr. Tierce, who was first selected by Massachusetts Republicans to run against Butler as the best man in their party, was in Congress when Tilden was swindled out of his election. lie opposed Iiis party's action, and said: 'I am aware, Mr. Speaker, that in the action I now take Instand almost alone among my political associates here; but I should be recreant to my convictions if I neglected to place on the imperishable records of the House my dissent from the vote which it is proposed to establish." Goyersor Porter is trying to shift the responsibility of his failure and that of his Lieutenant, to sign the appropriation bill, off their shoulders. Of course it was the w icked Democrats, although Hanna killed the lill and the Governor certainly knew all about it His room was only a few feet from where Hanna presided over the Senate. Members of the regular Republican gang were running in and out of Iiis office all of the last day of the session porting him on every move. lie knew that the appropriation bill had passed, and that Hanna had killed it; he knew, too, that Ilanna might Lave legally signed the bill up until 12 o'clock that ni'ht. All these points were and are now perfectly familiar to the Governor. He and Hanna spent that evening together and discussed all the points. Governor Faker told him that he and Governor Morton had signed bills passed on the last two days of the session. It is too late for the Governor to crawfi.-h out of the mess. If there is any suffering on account of the fail tire of the appropriation bill Messrs. Porter and Hanna are directly responsible for it. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. It is well, doubtless, to occasionally refer to the principles which the Democratic party of this great Republic has for its foundation, and upon which it has reared its citadels, its fortresses, its high towers and grand observatories; but this need not be done every day in the week. The people are so well informed upon the subject that thoy do not require the frequent repetition of self-evident truths to enable them to speak and vote intelligently. Rut it should be Stated in this connection that every year lring3 to the front an army of young men equipped according to law to wield the ballot. It is fair to assume that in this age of school boots and newspapers that these young Americans are prepared to vote intelligently; but it may be well for the Democratic press of the country to refer them to the old landmarks by which the Democratic party has marched to victory in the past, and which are still looming up for the guidance of the party in the present To do this efficiently we reproduce from the columns of the American Register the following: Jefferson, in his inaugural address of March 4, 1301, formulated the essential principles which should govern and shape tte Admlnistratio.1 of our Government, in the follow inj language, to wit: "Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever State or persuasion, religious cr political: peace, commerce and honest friendship with all Nations entangling alliances with none; the support of the Bute Governments iu all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against autirepablican tendencies; the preservation of the General OoTcrnment in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet-anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad ; a jeaioui card of the rights of election by the people a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the word of revolution where peaceful remedies arj unprovided; absolute acquiescence iu the decisions of the majority the .vital principle of Republics from which there Is no appeil but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism; a well-disciplined militia our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war till regulars may relieve them; the supremacy of the civil over the military authority; economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burdened; the honest payment of our dahts and sacred preservation of the public faith; encouragement of agriculture, tad of commerce a its band-znaid ; the diffusion of information and th arraignment of all abuses at the bar cf publik reason: freedom of religion; freedom of the press: ireedom of person under the protection Of pie hcAcai corpus; and trial by Juries impartially selected these principles form the bright constellation which Has gono before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and rcfonnaJon. The wisdom of our sajes and the blood of our heroes bare been devoted to their attainment They should be the creed of oar political faith the text of civil instruction the touchstone by which to try the cervices of thoe ire trust: and should we wander from them in moments of error or alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and regain the road which leads alone to peace, liberty and safety. THB'TBCK FOrXDATlOX OF CIVIL GOVERXMEXT. This was formulated in the Declaration of Independence and established la the Constitution as follows, to wit: 1. That the Government justly instituted is for the benefit and protection of the governed the people. 2. That the just powers of government are d--Tired from the consent of the governed, and that sovereignty resides in them. 3. That man is endowed by nature with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of bapplnets. 4. And that all men are created equal as to these matters, that Is, cual as to their lnaelienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; equal as to being the original aource from which the Government derives Its just powers; And equal in their rights to the protection and benefit of the Government. The Democratic party was founded upon these self-evident truths, as the true philosophy of civil government, and baa bad for its guidance the above principles announced by Jefferson for the administration of the government. The foregoing altogether show the fundamental doctrines of the

Democratic party, and that It has been in full accord with the great movement In political progress, made by the establishment of our Institutions. Notwithstanding the dignity and the dilintty of such declarations, such fundamental principles, the Democratic party has been out of power in the Federal Government for almost a quarter of a century. It is riot required to state the reasons why. It better suits our purpose to show that the party is now on the high road to victory. The people ore calling it back to power. "Why? Docause the Republican party has proved to be something worse than a failure. It is a party of passion rather than principle. Since, it came into existence it has had a period of supreme, absolute control. It has had sword and purse, offices and patronage. Its word has been law, and its law has been license. It has power, b:it its power h.t3 been pillage. It has not lacked intelligence, but bas'been sadly wanting in integrity. It has had virtues by the ounce and vices by the ton. In command of the ship of State, the crew have debauched its captains, or its captains hav set the example of freebooting, and in the madness engendered by a thirst for spoils, one President has been lifted into power on the sulphurous waves of perjury, and another shot down like a dog. It has violated laws and constitutions and reduced the judiciary to a thing of contempt that its crimes might go unpunished and unrebuked. As a result the people have turned against the Republican party and are demanding with an emphasis of commanding tone that the Democratic party shall control the Federal (iovernment, the destinies of the groat Republic.

GOVERNOR PORTER AMONG THE BUCKEYES. Ye congratulate the Democracy of Ohio upon their good fortune in having His Excellency, Governor Porter, in their midst. His speech at Granville is in many regards a help to their cause, and in no sense damaging. It is not our purpose at this writing to enter upon a general review of Governor Porter's speech. Our space is too valuable. Rut there arc some expressions so absolutely in consonance with the Democratic arraignment of the Republican parly, that we deem it prudent to reproduce them here. The Governor remarks that "the peculiarity of the Republican party has been that it is a self-investigating and self correcting party." and adds: '"It lias believed that the exposure and not the suppression of wrong doing was best for it. This belief and the practice that has followed it bae strengthened its influer.oe and efficiency." Here are declarations eminently worthy of consideration. The Republican party, says (.'overnor l'orter, 'has believed that the exposure and NOT THE UITKK-loX OF WRONG DOING WAS RKST FOR IT." It the Governor should I"; permitted to iive a thousand years he would not have it in his power to make a more truthful statement concerning the Republican party than that it does not believe iu the fvj-jir(."sifn cf wrongdoing, the vile and flagitious practices of Republican bosses, leaders, adventurers, repeaters, ballot-box stull"crs, etc., to the end of the catalogue. We omit criticism relating to the declaration' that the Republican party lias always been "hospitable to the exposure of corruption in its own ranks." Hospitable moans kindncss, particularly to strangers, generous, liberal, bountiful. Just when and under what circumstances the Itepublicaa party lias exhibited such hospitality in the investigation of Republican "corruption" it may suit His Excellence' to tell one of these days. But what boots it how '"hospitable" the Republican party has been in such matters, w hen according to thj Governor's deliberate assertion the Republican party believes in the erpwvre and not in the tvppreision of wrong doing? and what should be said of the furtbur declaratiou of Governor Porter, that this non-suppression of wrong doing has 'ftrengthencir' the "influence and efficiency" of the party? The people demand the suppression of wrong doing. Its exposure is not enough; indeed, it amounts to nothing at all in the way of reform unless followed by suppression, llovemer Porter Las placed himself and bis party on record as opposed to the suppression of wrong doing. He declares virtually that the maintenance of wrong doing strengthens the "influence" and the efficiency of the Repub lican party. Governor Torter in eflcct asserts that "wrong doin" is the life of the Republican party; that wrong doing "strengthens its influence" and perpetuates its existence. Governor Porter states the case fairly. He has sounded a key-note. It is a bugle blast, a drum beat. The Repubiicen party does not believe it good policy to suppress wtonj doing, because it "strengthens its influence." What is wrong doing? What did Governor Porler allude to? What had he in his mind's eye when he nude the declaration to an Ohio audience that the Republican party "believed that the exposure and not the suppression of wrong doing was best for it?" It is easy enough to surmiso what Governor Porter meant by that astounding declaration. We surmise that His Excellency desired to impress upon Ohio Republicans the fact that to suppress wrong doing would be the defeat, the annihilation of the Republican party. Wrong doing! Gods! Wiiat frightful pictures loom up on every side. See the greedy Republican bosses fashioning the Freedniau's Dank deadfall, by which poor, credulous, confiding negros wore robbed of their last penny. Governor Torter, wo take it, would not have such an infamy suppressed. See the army ot misshapen, blear eyed, beetle browed carpet-baggers overrunning prostrate States, stealing everything from ft penny to a palace, from a ring to a railroad, from a plate to a plantation. Governor Porter, we conclude, would have such things hospitably exposed, but not suppressed. They strengthen the lnf.oenco of the party. Governor Porter, apparently, would have such whisky rings as encircled Grant's administration generously exposed, but not suppressed. They strengthen the influence of the Republican party. Governor Porter would, we assume, have Star Route thieves kindly exposed, but not suppressed. The stealings he 1 J ed to strengthen the influence of the Republican party. Governor Porter virtually indorses the llubbell method of raising money to carry elections in Indiana and elsewhere. To expose such piracies, such footpad, stand and deliver methods, may be well enough, but the Republican party does not believa in snppressing them they strengthen its influence. Here in Indiana, here under the nose ot Governor Porter, according to the plain declarations of Hou. W. P. Fiht tack, himself a Republican, money was used

to bribe election officials, to stuff ballotboxes and falsity elections returns in the interest of the Republican party; and these damnable crimes, says Mr. Fishback, wpjo "connived" at by Republican "high oliicials." Has Governor Porter at auy time demanded that such crimes be exposed? If so, when? Where9 Rut suppose they were exposed. Governor l'orter says the Republican party does not believe they ought to be suppressed, and that their continuance strengthens the influence of the Republican party. We are glad we have Governor Porter on record. He can not dodge squirm he may possibly squeal, but he can not escape. The Republican party is committed to a campaign of wrong doing fraud in every j ossible shape, bribery, the importation of voters, ballot-!) stuffing, falsifying election returns, perjury, etc. Such tilings are "wrong doing." and Governor Porter jays the Republican party "believed that the exposur and not the suppression of wrong doing wa3 best for it." There are some other expressions of Governor Porter well calculated to help the Democratic party, to which we ma refer hereafter.

A KISS AMISS, BUT NOT A MISS. A story has gone the rounds of the press it ha3 been telegraphed and telephoned how that good old "Grandfather Thayer," F. M. Thayer, P. M. Thayer, of Evansville, kissed amiss, but not a miss he kissed a widow in the shadow of her residence. For this "Grandfather Thayer" has been greatly censured. So far as we have observed no one has come to his defense to his rescue. Alone, without shelter, not so much as a parasol or an umbrella, the old veteran has been compelled to stand the jtorm, and the peltingshave been so severe that great inconvenience has resulted to the venerable journalist and Postmaster. lie has had to resign the Pcstmastership of Evansville and sell out his interest in the Journal of that city. "Grandfather Thayer," it is said, was a "leading mcmir" in an influential Church in Evansville, and the same, we believe, is said of the widow, and on that account we are persuaded the kiss amiss has been unduly magnified. It will likely occur to ä great many liberally disposed persons that the penalty "(irandfather Thayer" has had to pay is greatly disproportioned to the size of his indiscretion, provided it is finally proved that to kiss a widow if the widow is willing is an act of inconsidcrateucs, rashness or lolly, but if it is inferentially certain that the widow was not only willing to be kissed but returned the kiss indeed, possibly kissed tirt then, in that event, who would impose a severe penalty upon the masculine oscillator, be he old or young? Rut may not something more be said in extenuation if not justification of "Grandfather Thayer?." It is said that both himself and the widow were at the time of the kissinir nicmbors of a Church. On more than one occasion the Apostle Paul in writing to Christian Churches commands that they "greet one another with a holy kiss." "(irandfather Thayer." over his own sigiriture, asserts that "nothinzof a criminal character ever occurred or was designed," and that his attentions to the widow "never transgressed the rules of social propriety except in the alleged particular cf exchanging a kiss." It will be observed tiiat the kissing was not all on one side there was an "exchange" of kisses. We do not know how ancient "Grandfather Thayer" may be, but we arc disposed to congratulate him that he has not outgrown appreciation of the blirs of a kiss. The French have a proverb lloni soil qui ual y pemeaxid we are inclined to the opinion that kisses may be exchanged without the taint of impurity. It is flagrantly ungenerous to assume that when "Grandfather Thayer'' kissed the widow or "exchanged" kisses with the widow, anything more was intended or thought of than a mutual expression for each other's happiness. "Grandfather Thayer" had walked along the shaded avenues beneath the light of the stars and the moon's pale beams, with the widow on his arm. As he listened to the lute-like melody of her voice he may have sighed to think that his youth was gone to come no more, and the widow may have realized the satisfaction of a daughter listening to the words of counsel and comfort from the lips of a father. Arrived at the gate, an exchange of kisses had, we are satisfied, no significance other than an affectionate regard for each other's welfare. It is to he regretted that "Grandfather Thayer" became so suddenly and so seriously demoralized. Admitting that to kiss a widow is to kiss amiss, a venerable manlike "Grandfather Thayer" need not sell out and resign, pack his grip-sack and hie away to the mountains of Hers'dani, where the whangdoodle mourneth, in five minutes. That way of doing things is altogether too inconsiderate. We should like to see the old gentleman reinstated in the Evansville Tostotliee and to know that he had repurchased his interest in the Evansville Journal; being satisfied that theChurch and the commuu it y would be willing to give the old man a chance to outlive Iiis mistake, for when nothing more serious than a kiss amiss is charged exile is crueltv. RIGHT AT LAST. Wc are glad to note that one Cincinnati paper at least, and at last, has the correct theory regarding the failure of the appropriation bill. We refer to the News Journal. It places the responsibility just where it belongs, and that is upon the shoulders of the man that killed the bill, and his name is Tom Hanna We do not give him any other title. His bantismal iiamp is. Tlinm.n und it h is usual when gentlemen arrive at the Lieu tenant Governor's Chair to give them the title of Honorable that is, if they behave themselves. Hanna's full address, therefore, would, under ordinary circumstances, be the Honorable Thomas J. Ilanna, Lieutenant Governor of Indiana, but he behaved more like a gorilla then a gentleman more like a juggler than a Governor," and therefore wc call him Tom Tom Hanna, and if anybody wants to know what he is or what his title is, he or she must ask for it, like the Quaker who had departed from the faith of his fathers and had grown wild and incorrigible. Some one asked him "what he was." He answered that he was a Quaker, but he had to "tell it every time." Same way with Tom. He ha3 to tell every time that be is Lieutenant Governor. There is nothing about him to suggest it, and when he presided over the Senate the conviction forced Itself upon the spectator that after all the Darwinian theory must be true "man did from a monkey grow." Tom had the brand of the gorilla all over him. On the night that he and the spluttering Spann, of Rush, were trying to choke down the majority, which turned upon them at last like royal Rengil timers, Tom would hare disappeared up a tree had there

been any in sight, head and tail up, and in pretty much of a p. d. quickativenes. However, we only started out to congratulate a Cincinnati paper on having arrived at a correct theory regarding the failure of the State appropriations. A missionary might be of advantage among Those Chicago dailies on the same errand. The News Journal, commenting upon the subject, says: An Indianapolis telegram to the News Journal couirue uiiiig upou tne talk about an extra sevso.i of the Legislature, mvi that lodr "failed to mue the repulor appropriations." Our correspondent i in error, lie lias probably been misle I by nomo Republican ottlcial. The lat Legislature of Indiana was Democratic. The general appropriation Dill was pasted through bout house fully forty minutes before tiic hour fixed lor final a1j tutninert, In ample time to become law hal the Lieutenant (.overnor jrformed hi duty. As presiding officer of the Senate, it was part of his duty to sgi the bill. Instead of Mcuiug it. and tendtn? it to the Governor's room for Ms signaturt-, which wo'iM not have occupied ten uaiuutes, he stuck die bill In a pigeon hole, cxcUimln, "It is killed!" and adjourned the Senate. His oxeufo for this hi?h handed conduct was that "the bill was uot properly passed," a question which belonzed only to the judiciary. Whether Governor l'orter was Iu collusion with him or not it is not necessary to discus. It is notorions that the facia are as wc have Mated them, and neither the Governor nor the Lieutenant Governor will be ad le to shift the responsibility for an extra session, if it should be called, from their own shoulders to those of the last Democratic Legislature. The record is dead against theni. "

I'KUSONALS. Hon. Hanxibal Hamlin is about to present a fine public clock to his native town ot Paris, Me., to be placed in the tower of the Bapiist Church. Professob John Lawrence Si llivak. of Boston, is now said to be worth $30,000. He is weary of prize fighting and gin-milling, and he told a friend the other day that he intended next summer to buy a little yacht and spend most of his time on water. He will call his lugger the "Slugger." Ex-Senator Jeromb D. Chaffee says that twenty-three years ago, when he entered Denver, he invited his tired fellow-passengers of the stage coach to take a drink, and laid down a twentydollar gold piece, concerning which the barkeeper said, "All rUht." That transaction made him a temperance man. The case of ex-Senator Sharon an i his alleged "wife" will come up In San Francisco October 16. The opinion prevails in San Francisco that the case is one peculiar to that city, where a prominent man is not considered ns broken in until ho has been blackmailed or has brea sued for breach of promise. The cx-Scnator is now at the White Sulphur Springs. A misinformed Southern newspaper speaks of Henry Irving, the cctor, as "a scene-eater." It Is well ensugh not to excite prejudice in advance ngaicst Air. Irving. He is in no sense a sc oneel. ewer cr ranter.

Garrett, the Baltimore Railroad King has received the four white camels sent him by hi royal brother, Umberto, of Italy, Iu exchange for ahcrse. It is understood that the Italian Kiug l as accepted Mr. Garrett's invitation to come over and spend a month with him, and next January, if his creditors do not interfere. His Majesty will arrive In Baltimore. Mr. Garrett's intention no is to trade the King a fine Durham bull for a red Maltese Jack. Having been charged with refusim churlishly to allow MUs Mary Anderson to play his"Galatea" in England, Mr. W. S. Gilbert writes to the London World what be terms " the frank and. uureserved truth" of the case. "A dramatic agent,"., he says, "did apply to me on behalf of Miss Anderson. But as Miss Anderson was in London, and I. was lu Lon don, Idid not see any occasion to employ au Intermediary ; so I requested the dramatic agent to refer Miss Anderson to me. This is how the matter elands. Feremitme," Mr. Gilbert continues, "to add that I am distressed beyond expression at your supposing me to be capable of an act so mean, so cowatdly, so despicable, s degrading n to decline to allow any one who pleases to perform any piece of mine, anywhere, on any terms be ot she may think proper to determind." Mr. Bookwalter, who made the gallant liht apainst Charley Foster, as the "Jawhawker" calls the Governor of Ohio, has this to say regarding the prospects of Judge lloadiy: I think there is no doub' ot his success. He has, of course, been seriously handicapped by hit ill hi a'th, being thus unable to lend his personal aid fo the conduct of the campaign. Ha has, bow, ever, able lieutenants, who are prosecuting an aggressive fight ou the enemies' forces.

His reception was the most enthusiastic, possible, and the great feature of the day was his Bpeech to the Convention. It make the rest of the proceedings sink into insignificance. He legan with the createst deliberation and utmost satisfation, and his noi l npon the audience was something more than that of a mere candidate er politic-iau.
