THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 31884.

WEDNESDAY, SEITEMBER 3.

OFFICE: 71 and 73 Vfrt Market Street. Commo.t sense and hone-ty are on tue side of the Democratic party. Hast thinks that "Twenty Years on the Make" would be a good name for Blaine's new book. The Elaine letters, we believe, prove all that he has been charged with. New York Tribune, Elaine organ. The New York Graphic is right. It was Jlr. Blaine who ordered the Britten flag to be saluted by Yankee cans at Yorktown. "Whatever may be said of Mr. Cleveland and his letter, he pats his ideas as to the demands of labor in a clear, manly-, nn equivocal mannpr. "The laboring classes should be protected in their efforts peacefully to assert their rights, when endangered by aggregated capital." Grover Cleveland. The Southern outrage mills seem to have no grist to grind this year. It is not too late to Lave one or two jet to sandwich between the "business men's meetings." The republican managers have succeeded jn getting up a Southern outrage. It is growing late, and times are unpropitious, bat we felt sure that one could be secured. It coni93 irom Louisiana tnis time. The Auburn Courier truthfully says: Kot one of our Republican exchange has. yet attempted to explitin bow their candidate for President lailnp a fortms of several millions in a few years and supported an expensive family on a salary ol Sö.UJO a year. Ho'.v no Mr. Blaine become a millionaire? The discussion of this proposition would probably involve questions infinitely more disgraceful to the Republican nominee for the l'resdency than his Kentucky escapades. Blaije 13 very careful not to sue anybody for libel who says he took a bribe when Speaker of the House. And that is a matter that not only affects Jfr. Elaine as a rreaidsntial candidate, but reflects upon the honor of his family as well. Mrs. Akeie L. Mauble, a sister o Sirs. Elaine, denies the accounts as published concerning Mr. and Mrs. Elaine's marriage. 2ow, Mrs. Marble, If yoa will jasttellus where and when they married we will aai you never another question. Bar Haeeor whisky doesn't seem to agree with Prohibitionist Blaine. It is of the fusel oil order. The magnetic man is reported as suffering with sore throat and ills generally. The next time he takes a trip from home lTe'11 take his own goods with him. Now hebe is a good chance for a libel suit, ilr. Calkins, if these insinuations are not true. The Richmond Enquirer says: It is generally recognized that Major Calkins can rtrink niore ' bug juice" at one Bitting anl tura wore widows out of postollices for not payluir their political assessments tl.au any other man firing. Candidate Calkiss might turn that Kankakee swamp into a summer resort. One pcint in its favor is that mosquitoes con not find enough to live on, and are obliged to get out and away to keep from starving to death. A resort free from mosquitoes i3 a sine qua non. Candidate Calkiss spoke in Aurora Saturday night. A correspondent says he was dressed in "an imported cork-screw suit ol dark gray," and looks like Mr. Ualstead, of tbe Commercial Gazette. He appealed to "the reason of his audience," and neglected any explanation of his treatment of the "Widow Duncan. Calkins' appealing to "reason" is one of the phenomena of the times. Judge Cresham says he "can't grasp an idea." General B. F. Butler is a noble old felloe. lie has been in many parties, bnt his faith in the colored man ana friendship for him hive never wavered. He has been true under all circumstances. Indianapolis World. Do you support Calkins for the same reason? Has he ever "wavered" in his support of the colored man? Did he ever vote to unseat two colored Republican Congressmen ? Did he not state on that occasion that te Was "oppo.Hd to fratih'J h!j'J'-,-f anyhow " It is sreported, upon good authority, that onecf the highly moral Republican editors of this State, not distant from this city, who delights in rehashing the false charge of drunkenness and immorality against Governor Cleveland, recently got so drunk in a liquor etore in the city of his residence, that he fell over the furniture and was finally assisted to bed in a condition of maudlin imbecility. Congressman McAioü, of "e w Jersey, was announced recently by the New York Tribune as being opposed to Cleveland. Here is his side cf the story: "The sUtement is absurd," he slid In an interview. 'They are making tne wildest sort of assertions. The idea of saying that Randall was disaffected, then Kenna was. au! now I am announced as aeainst Cleveland, it is very absurd." "Iben it's Dot true that you nave refused to take the mump for Cleveland'.'" "No; I have made six Cleveland speeches already, and am going right on matins as mir.y as I can, not only in my own State, bat elsewhere. I bave just written a letter to Chairman Barnum, accepting his invitation to peak for Cleveland In New York State, and I shall take the stump taern and at other places where I have been or may be invited." The Republican National Committee is growing anxious about the situation. It is gradually dawning upon them that Blaine will be the worst defeated man who ever ran for the Presidency. One of the ugly features of the case lies in the fact that the department clerks. Postmasters, Revenue Collectors and others are very backward in their contributions. Maine has demanded a very large sum of money already. It is said that more than $100,000 have been sent there, and the cry is still for more. This was sent to create a September boom for Blaine. The Committee want money, and they don't get it. When money is taken out of the prob lem Mr. Blaine's defeat is only a question of time. SIIULEB OBJECTED. Shnler, ex-Warden of the Southern Trison, objected to the pardon of the Carlisle by Governor Hendricks. Shnler Is a Bailiff of the Federal Court, and lives at No 033 North Illinois street, says the Journal. Of course Governor Hendricks Should have listened to Shnler Instead of

the three eminent Republicans who recommended the pardon of the Carlisles. Their names are: Chief Justice Ham as, of the Sitremi Court of the United Statis; Hon. Jamks Si f.ei. Cnitet State Attorney Gfnkral i Niira PFtrinsT Lincoln, asi Uem.kal JamlsM. Siiacselford, ok Indiana. Over agaiDSt these distinguished gentlemen the Journal writes Sbuler.

CALKINS AND THE SWAMP. Calkins and the school fund once more. Read Jap Turpen's letter froui Laporte, in another column, and our rea iers can get some sort of an idea of the land upon which Calkins borrowed money from the school fund. The land is described as being situated in the center of an absolutely valueless district, except for huntiog and fishing. There is no bottom to the mud, and even horse swimmin:; is hazirloas. Calkins pulled the wool over Jap Turpen's eyes a few weeks ago, and persuaded him that he was a much injured man. The latter, to even up matters, wrote a letter to the News combatting the charge that Calkins had acted improperly regarding the school fund transaction. Mr. Turpen recently viäited Laporte and hat had his eyes opened very widely concerning it. This letter gives the entire history of the affair, and it shows Mr. Calkins in no enviable light Calkins will not do. lie is a small copy of Dlaiae erratic, unreliable, harum-scarum and gushing, with about as much substance as there is in a bottle of pop. THE BOS3 TWEED tIEIHOD. In a public speech Major Calkins has said: I seldom make personal exp!antlou. b'H at the n qiifst of some will s.iy in reply to the char.ro of nviinilimr the n'hool fund of the Ute, that I wild the nl snbjct to t h tnortaan. If oa aoybody auythlog lam able to piy my debts. The Republican nominee for Governor in this instance will have" to depart from his usual custom, and talk plain United States. The subject is not one In which an inquiring and interested public can be put o.T with an assumption of lofty disdain or the hauteur begotten of wounded sensibilities. Boss Tweed's answer, "What the devil are you going to do about it? ' was found to fail far short of rendering sitisfactioa be 'ore his "campaign" ended. The fact that Major Calkins says, "I Bold the land subject to the mortgage," shows an attempt to deceive, though the record shows that Major Calkins has sold a pi ere of worthless land, fraudulently mortgaged to the school fund, a number of times, no buyer agrees to render payment, and in consequence the C3unty of T.aporte is reduced to the inconveoience of paying tax on money wrongfully held by him for the last ten years. 119 does owe Lapoite County. Time and again he his acknowledged his obligation. Tnis 13 attested Dot only by affidavits, but by letters over his signature. Now, entrenched behind a legal technicality, he says: "If I owe anybody anything I am able to pay my debts." MORE GOOD NfiOTS. The new People's party, which was substantially organized at Bloomington, 111 , yesterday, promises to be a factor of very large proportions in the coming election. The combination is made up of a consolidation of the Greenback and Anti-Monopoly parties, with a side agreement with the Democratic party to the effect that tbe parties will accept a fason electoral ticket based upon percentage of strength, which will also bring about a fusion on a State ticket. The People's party will put a State ticket in the held composed mainly of men from the Democratic ticket. In short, the Democrats, Greenbacker3 and Anti-Monopolists have consolidated their forces against tbe Republican National and State tickets upon a basis that will give each party a representation in numbers and importance according to the numerical strength and inQueoc3of each. The importance of the combination will very readily be understood. It deprives the Republicans of the last hope of carrying the State, and although it will not be a complete Democratic success, that party, in consider ation of its strength on the percentage division plan, will have the largest represen tation in the State offices and in the Electoral College. Now, by St. Paul, the work goes bravely on. INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS OF INDIANA. Elsewhere in this morning's Sentinel will be found an address to the Republican voters of Indiana by a committee of Independent Republicans of this city. The work of this committee is to show to their brother Republicans the unfitness of Mr. Ll'aine ani the iitness ot Mr. Cleveland for the Presi dency. Documents and public speeches will be sent out by the committee to this end. The committee rely entirely upjn voluntary contributions, and they state that whatever funds may be sent them will be used for the ends stated in the toresjing, as they are at no expense of oflice or clerk hire. Mr. Lewis Howland is the .Treasurer. The committee is of the opinion that the closest investigation proves that, after many years of public life, James (I. Blaine has no important service to his country to point to, and all that he has to show as the result of hi3 labors for the public welfare is a large accumulation of private wealth, and this the result of questionable financial speculations in prop erty, directly or indirectly connected with Congressional legislation. Much of this went on while he was Speaker of the House of Representatives. The views of the committee on the Mulligan letters are very clear. They state that they "are the Mulligan letters still." On their face they indicate shameless corruption in public office on the part of Blaine, and that no Republican paper has made a manly attempt to meet these letters. "The leading Republican journals of Indiana" are denounced as presenting a cowardly spectacle in standing mute in the presence of these famous letters, refusing to print them and dishonestly deceiving their readers by keeping the truth from them. Mr. Cleveland is recommended to the suffrages of the Independent Republicans, and the committee state that this advice is given "after the fullest examination of his official life." "THERE IS NOTHING IN IT." The Journal retires sullenly from its cow ardly attacks on Governor ITendricks regarding the pardoning of the Carlisles. We blew it clear out of the water as soon as the original attack was made by showing that (I) Governor Torter said "there was nothing in it ;" (2) that Governor Hendricks was recommended to issue the pardon by the fallowing

i distinguished Republicans;

Chief Jvstici IIarlan, of ths Supreme Court of the United Statfs; non. James Speed, Usired States Attorney General ukdir Presikf.wt Linoln, a-d Ge.nt.eal James SI. SiiAf kelfoed. of Indiana. In addition to this there always was a doubt that tbe Carlisles killed their man. Even General Shackelford, a distinguished Republican who prosecuted the Carlisles, wrote to Governor Hendricks, at the tims the pardon was under consideration, and Mated that he did not believe the Carlisles killed Hampton. In that letter General Shackelford, after stating that he had no doubt that the prisoners were of the party who took Hampton acro?s the river, and after stating further that "of the killing of a son of old man Carlisle in Southern Illinois during the winter of 1S(T by Hampton's command, there can not be a question," says: "JJut that the Carlisles, or either of them, was present at the time of the killing of Lieutenant Hampton, or that they intended that he fhould be killed or murdered, I do not believe. On the contrary, I feel satisfied in my own mind that the two Carlisles, after landing Dr. Davison, McDaniel and Hampton on the Kentucky shore, started up the river for the purpose of returning the skills to the place from where they had been taken, and when they had proceeded perhaps fifty or sixty yards, Hampton ran into the river,. and waa shot and killed by Davison and McDaniel. I will also add that

in my opinion the killing of Lieutenant Hampton was one of the many deplorable and lamentable fruits or results of the war; and, whilst 1 entertain no doubt of the legal puilt of both tbe old man and his son, I do think, under all the circumstances connected with the case, that in the punishment they bave already received the ends of public justice have been met, and hence I hope the executive clemency will be extended to them." We think the matter needs no further attention from us. Oyer against the distinguished Republicans who sustained Governor Hendricks in this matter, the Journal writes the name of "Shuler," whom it states is "a bailiif, and lives at 93'i North Illinois strfct" Gammon, all. As Governor Porter told a Journal reporter, "there is nothing in it." WHAT WILL HK DO ? Tbe Warren Tribuoe, a Republican paper published at Warren, Trimble County, Ouio, and a supporter of Blaineand Logan, has an article in a recent number from which the foUowiDg choice morsel is culled: "Of James G. lilaiue the Tribune is laforraed, 8tii believes it to Le true, that though a yotinz man of oroinaiily pood habits, he became in early life, and before marriage, the father of a child; that he took tne babe upon one arm and its mother upon tbe other, sought oat a parson, and was joined to her in holy matrimony." Why does not the Knight of tne Crunpled Tiun-e send a gushing telegram to some local Sanrho I'anza to bring suit "without an hour's delay" in th9 United States Circuit Court" against the Republican brother who "assails the honor of my wife and children?" Why ooes not our Mulligan friend send another appeal to "honorable Democrats" asking them to justify him in suing this Ohio editor? Why dees be not embrace this opportunity to send over the wires another electioneering telegram? Why does he not again risk his life and sue this new defamer of his wife and children? Will he do it? No! It is clear now to a blind man that Blaine made an ass of himself before the whole country when he sent that dispatch to Holloway and caused suit to be brought against tbe Sentinel for libel. Tbe telegram bears internal evidence of having been written with one eye on the voter, notwithstanding the simulated indignation of the writer. Mr. Blaine will not be in a hurry to repeat his assinine folly. He is too shrewd cot to have seen before this that his enemies are openly laughing at him, while his friends are secretly cursing the stupidity of his action. Therefore, the Warren Tribune is safe, though it states as a fact what the Sentinel said only by way of inquiry. The Tribune is safe for another reason a very powerful reason with th3 Knight of the Crumpled Tlume and that is that vetes could not be made, but might be lost by a suit against it. This reason will be a "sufficient one with the modern Don Quixote for overlooking this last attack upon Mrs. Rlaine and the children. A POINTER FOR CALKINS. Calkins is not as "smart" as Elaine. "Calkins could never crasp an idea," said General Gresham. Rlaine can "grasp" almost anything more effectively than Calkins, although Calkins "grasped" the school fnnd very creditably in that swamp land transac tion. Blaine, however, would probably have owned the entire northern part of the State if he had started with Calkins' Kankakte swamp as a nest egg. The point, however, to which we wish to draw the attention of Mr. Calkins, is to advise him te sue somebody for libel. When things waxed hot for Blaine he employed a counter irritant; he distracted public attentionhe sued. Tbe charges of the Widow Duncan against Mr. Calkins are very serious ones. She evidently thinks that he was largely instrumental in the loss of her home and the f 1,100 which she bad paid on it. If not true the charge is libellous. If true, it puts tbe Republican candidate for Governor in a very questionable position "in a hole," as the boys say. Mr Calkins, if he possessed tbe "smartness" of tbe Republican candidate for the Presidency, would sue Mrs. Dnncan promptly and make the Sentinel a party to tbe suit. This would produce a ensation, and in the hurly-burly Mr. Calkins might not run behind Colonel Gray more than 15,000 votes. As tbe case stands now, it looks as if he might get buried under 25,000 m ajority. No, Calkins is not as "smart" as Blaine. THOMAS A. HENDRICKS. Th'S essence of success on the forum or hustings is in understanding the requirements ot audiences. True, what is said has much to do with holding attention, but the manner of saying it Is the more influential factor, and when the subject itself possesses tbe elements of charm and allurement and is presented in a graphic and picturesque manner its influence upon the audience is marvellously irresistible, especially is this true when the orator himself participates with his audience in the enthusiasm which the subject engenders. A striking illustration of this was seen and felt whilst Mr. Hendricks was delivering his speech before the multitude in Circle Park last Saturday evening. The prefatory

sentences were so artistically arranged and blended together thst they fell upon the ears of his audience as if 'twere music borne to them on the bosom of the gentle atmosphere. "I recognize the duty of speaking frankly and without concealment or exaggeration of any material fact or opinion." It was tbe happy beginning of an effort that will take high rank among the choicest and most conspicuous papers of this age on the philosophy and science of government. As a rhetorician and logician Mr. Hendricks certainly stands in tbe f .re front, while his synthetical method is well nigh faultless. Upon that branch of the science of government which recognizes the necessity of a revenue for the maintenance of the machinery of the power which the people have delegated and concentrated npon their joint agent tbe General Government Mr. Hendricks exhibited a wide range of thought and a profound knowledge of the subject. He said: The rower to levy and collect taxes is among the highest and most responsible of the attributes of government. It ranks with the risht and faculty of taking private property for public use; and with the right and power of transferring tbe citizen from the pursuits of private life to the duties and hazards of war. It takes away from a man that which is his and appropriates it to public use. It saizes upon the earnings of labor, as well as npon the accumulations of capital. To every ruan the inquiry is of personal concern, and the answer is of public consequence. How far msy government go in the exercise cf the power to tax the people? Freely aDi cheerfully we nil answer that there shall be no limitation nor restraint this side of the absolute and entire maintenance ot peblic authority, with all of its faculties and functions unimpaired. Whatever the Government can lawfully do, and of right should do. the taxpayers will furnish it the means to accomplish. Beyond this is the province of private right, to invade which is usurpation. Passing to our ocean commerce, and the lamentable, if not disgraceful condition into which th6 existing system of tariff and shipping regulations have forced our ocean tonnage and commercial interests with the trade centers of the world, the speaker continued: We are a Nation of producers, and our exchanges with other nations is euormom. Tbe world's two greatest oceans wash our shores. We are one of the nations of the earth most highly endowed by nature with a ei hit of nautical enterprise. Hut practically we have no merchant marine. Eajoying, s we do, all tbe natural conditions under which it might be supposed wouli arise tbe neatest commercial navy in the world, we bre dependent upon foreign nation for our ocean commerce. Our own merchant ravy has disappeared from the fcea. and the owi.frs of foreign vessels are enriched by the profits that we should earn ourselves. The obiiuary of our merchant navy is written in cur tatin'and shipping laws. Its spirit of enterprise and daring that once brought wealth to onr shores aud pride toour people, and tbat fnrrmhed congenial employment to thousands of onr brave and bardy sons, is now buried in the treasury vaults under thofe four millions of which Mr. Calkins vaunts. In referring to the disgraceful conlition of our navy, Mr. Hendricks painted oat and made clear to every one of his bearers hiw

important and necessary it is tbat the Na tion should maintain a strong and efficient naval armament. This the Nation should have, as well as coast defenses strong enough to resist any attack from a would-be invader. But, said he. The time is coming. I trust, when war shall be no more, and wfien international arbitrament shall supercede the sword. It is wickedness and insanity to make war over disputes that reason, tempered with justice, may settle peaceably. Bat a nation. Itself just and peaceablv disposed, can better preserve its peace and honor, and can better secure its citizens, wherever they may be on tbe face of the earth, from wrong and insult, when its flag is a symbol of power adequate to the vindication of any right or the redress of any wrong. To the question whether there ought to be a change in the control of public affairs Mr. Hendricks puts this query for the answer: What other remedy for the correction of possible abuses have the citizens of a free republic? Even ia England change is the remedy. When the Commons disapprove an important measure, or censure maladministration, the Cabinet, headed by the Prime Minister, retire from office, and others in harmony with the will of the people succeed them. There are many valuable reforms tbat can not be accomplished by a party that has long been in power. Where among all the great state papers of the age shall we search for a clearer, loftier cr more comprehensive view of what the basis of a Government of the people and by the people should be? lie who seeks for a better solution of the great problem of a Government whose power is delegated by a confederation of States, as is ours, than is laid down in Mr. Hendricks' Saturday night speech, will seek in vain. It can not be found. Aroi t tbe hot indignation and sail of Mr. Blaine over tbe Sentinel publication we have these varying accounts: Bar Harbor, Me , staffj Bar Hrbor, Me., oorcortet'poucleuce of tnerespondence of the Neiv Ph'ladelphm Pres: York Sun : Mr Biaiue'M course Jo!

It was he who tirst learned in Ne York that a blow of tVs character was to be liecterl azalnt the i publican candidate, lie tookiains to sei tint It was no idle rumor. Then tie came to Maine aai told Mr. Blaine what be might expect. The lat ter was fully prepared. In a special Washington dispatch it is said that Blaine is shrewd and knows how to make a point. Said the chief spokesman "Of course It would not do to bring suit against the Emporia (Kas.) Republican or tbe Warren (Ohio) Tribune. Both these papers published the story some time before the Sentinel publication appeared, and both are vigorous supporter! of Blaine." But why didn't he bring an action against tbe Chicago Times, which also published the story some time ago? Simply because he does not think he needs votes in Illinois. In Indiana he does need them. MORE DAMAGING EVIDENCE. A recent discovery in Vermont revealed a very peculir letter, written a few years ago from Washington, by Senator Edmunds. After reading an extract from it, one ceases to wonder why Blaine is reported rather weak in Vermont. Here is the extract: "It Is my deliberate opinion that Mr. Blaine acts as the attorney of Jay Gould. Whenever Mr. Tburman and 1 have settled npon legis la tion to brine tie Pacific railroads to terms of equity with the , Government, vp has

jumped .tarnet G. Blaine, vtftlet iii hand, from bt hittd the breastworks vf Gould.' t lo.if, to fire

in uur oack." Is it any wonder that Senator Edmunds brings but a very cool and backward support to the Republican candidate for the Presidency? This opinion of the Vermont Senator was founded on a long experience with Blaineand a careful watching of his course in Congress. It coincides with the revelation that is now made by that other distinguished Republican authority, William II. Kemble, of Pennsylvania, who says he paid Blaine $7,.")()0 to make rulings, as Speaker, on matters in which he (Kemble) was financially interestedand, by the way, the details of this transaction are startling, but very interesting, and will be found elsewhere in this morning's Sentinel under the head line of "Blaine's Corruption." The testimony of these two eminent gentlemen, Senator Kdmundsand Hon. William II. Kemble, should convince the most skeptical that the Republican candidate for the Presidency Is indeed a "tattooed man." As a contempoiary remarks, "These spots grow thicker and deeper on lUaine, the more his hide is scrubbed and whitewashed. Like the blood spots on 'Lady MacbethY hand. which she saw in her troubled sleep, they will not 'out.' Not 'all the perfumes of Araby' can do away with them. Blaine is indeed the 'tattooed man.' His letters to Fisher are theruselve3 enough to condemn him. He has shown, aa Carl Schurz truly says, a conspicuous and lamentable illustra tion of 'official power ofTering itself for prostitution to make money.' " "ALL THIS IS CONFIDENTIAL." A few years ago when the Republican bosses could arrange lor a series of Southern outrages the Chairman of the State Central Committee Friedley at that time issued a circular to all the Republican papers in the State to make conspicuous "the outrage" business. This card was the lealiog and winning one for many years, until the people discovered the swindle. Now comas this yeai's new crop of Republican committeemen with a new trick. This time it is Blaine's eensational dispatch to sue the Sentinel. Th Republican papers are ordered to put it in black type. Michener, whose name is at the bottom of the circular, is a new find. He is a Shelby County radical and succeeds Buck Terrell as Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee. He is new at the business hence the clumsiness of the ukase. After he gets greased up li9 will run better. Our readers will remember, in the langaaje of tbe circular, that "all this is cuiti J-n tial."' Now conies the precious document: lNMASAl OLISi, AUUSt 10, 1SSI. Pkak Sir -In publishing a full report of Mr. Blaine's suit against the Sentinel, p'.ene do not omit tbat magnificent dispatch directing suit to be brought. His manly and brave action is in striking contrast with the inaction of a certain Democratic canJidate. I suggest that you keep Mr. Blaine's dispatch standing in black-faced type in a conspicuous pa-tof your paper. Let the light be poshed vigorously from this time on. I inclose a circular sent out to ear speakers. All this is confidential. L. T. Miciiexei;, Secretary. Note the exquisite drollery of the new Secretary "all this is confidential," and "let the fight be pushed vigorously from this time on." PERSONALS. Rev.

It is all that and more It is cunninjr, deceitful treacherous, sly, and underhanded It does its work in the dark, and is such a sly way that much of the mischief is done before it is discovered. It saps the foundations of a healthy system. 1 1 robs the blood of its vitality, demoralizes the liver, confounds the stomach, and makes the victim wish he were in his grave. I:fssad to see people s;t down in their misery, content to be the victims of mischicy. ous malaria, and thinking that notliins can be done for them.
