Harrison's nomination is not in any sense a strong one. lie is lacking in most of the qualities 'which combine to make a great party leader and popular candidate before the people. He has not been specially distinguished either in military or civil life. His service in tho Union army was brief and inconspicuous. He was one of a multitude of brigadiergenerals who left the field while the conflict was at its fiercest to engage in politics. His career since the war has made little impression upon the country. His single term in the U. S. senate revealed him only as an intense and bitter partisan, and a faithful friend of tho corporations, to which latter fact he is indebted for the distinction which has been conferred upon him at Chicago. He never took a leading position in the senate and but for the accident of his residence in a close and uncertain state, he would certainly have relapsed into obscurity upon his retirement from that body. Here in Indiana, where Gen. Harrison Is best known, his unpopularity is proverbial. Indiana is not a republican state and Gen. Harkisox is not as strong as the republican party in Indiana. His associations and sympathies are all with th enemies of the people ; with the class of which Gould, Vanderbilt, Blaine and Pef-ew are the leading representatives, and whose faithful, willing and obsequious servant Gen. Harrison' has always been. He i3 exclusive and aristocratic in his tastes and habits; poul, cold and austere in his temperament and if he cloe.s not feel a hearty contempt for those horn. Mr. Lixcolx used to call "the plain people," he has been strongly misunderstood all these years in his own state, among those who have had tho best opportunity to etudy and understand his character. "We wish to do entire justice to Gen. Hareiro.v, and we therefore take pleasure in faying that his private life is unassailable. He is a clever lawyer and a ready and forcible public speaker. He is a man of reading and culture, and if not brilliant on the stump is industrious, cnergetic and painstaking. "When this is said about all is said that can truthfully be tpoken of Gen. Harrison in his public character. Gen. Harrison cannot carry Indiana ' end he cannot be elected. He is identified 'with the cause of monopoly, and in this ; campaign monoply is going to be defeated. The platform adopted at Chicago is the f most outspoken, audacious ami aggressive 1 eclaration in favor of monopoly that any ' political 'party in the United States has ever had the effrontery to put forth. Stand- , ing on such a platform a far stronger candidate than Gen. Harrison would be certain of defeat. His personality will cut little figure in the campaign outside of Indiana. Here his name at the head of any ticket would be enough to insure its rejection. In the country at large the issue 'which the republican party has raised Bounds its death knell. The people are tired of paying war taxes in time of peace. They are tired of the monstrous abuse of the taxing power of the government in the interest of monopoly; they are tired of being plucked and plundered by rapacious corporations, and by the trusts and combines which the high protective tariff h&a created; they are opposed to the policy which has enriched a favored few at the expense of the masses, and they are pleased with the wise, patriotic and statesmanlike administration of Mr. Cleveland. Everything indicates the triumphant election of Cleveland and Thurmax, not only because the republicans have named a weak candidate against them, but also, and mainly, because they represent a principle and a policy which the peoplo heartily approve. The Chicago Flat form. The republican platform is a creditable piece of literary workmanship, but has little else to commend it to tho favor of the country. It abounds in glittering generalities, well worded catc'i phrases and high sounding but meaningless platitudes;it is uncandid, disingenuous, hypercritical and dishonest in its treatment of current political questfons, and from first to last is an appeal to ignorance, passion and prejudice, rather than to the intelligence, good sense and patriotism of the people. Upon the mpreme issue of the hour the revenue question it is a studied attempt to confuse and befog the public mind. The democratic demand for the repeal of unnecessary and burdensome taxes is falaely represented as a move

ment for free trade, and in lieu of the policy of tariff reform proclaimed by the democratic party, a programme is presented which embraces the repeal of tho internal tax on tobacco, and the abolition of the entire internal revenue system, if necessary, to save the 47 per cent, tariff. This is the feast to which the republican party invites the tax-payers of the country. Cheap whisky and tobacco, dear clothing and food and shelter, the indefinite perpetuation of war taxes in time of peace, for the benefit, not of the public treasury, but of monopoly; a continuance of the monstrous pystem of licensed spoliatiou which has bred millions of paujers, fostered combinations and trusts, oppressed agriculture, robbed labor of its just rewards and driven American shipping from the high seas. AVe think there need be no fears as to the verdict which the American people will render at the polls next November upon the issue thus squarely joined between the parties. There are other features of the platform which invite attention, and to which The Sentinel will say its say in due time. A Cowardly Dodge. The republican platform has nothing to say on the liquor question. The problem which, according to our prohibition friends, constitutes the supreme issue of the hour is entirely ignored. The emancipation of slavery in Brazil, the autonomy of the states, the mormon question, the currency, civil service reform, the fisheries, the navigation laws, the Dakota matter and a dozen other so-called "issues" all receive attention. But as to the saloon there is never a word. The position of the democratic party on this pubject is well known. It is opposed to prohibition because prohibition is contrary to the genius of American institutions, and involves an invasion of individual rights which would bo a greater evil than that it seeks to remedy. It holds that the liquor traffic is a proper subject for strict legislative regulation, but it docs not hold that it is within the legitimate province of government to prescribe the social habits and customs of the people, or to say what they shall eat, drink or wear. The republican party, on the other hand, upholds and practices that paternal theory oi government into which the prohibition scheme dovetails so nicely. Its creed exalts tho state and minimizes the citizen. It sets scarcely any bounds upon the power and authority of government. In tho republican view it is legitimate for the government to interfere in the minutest concerns of tho individual. So that there is absolutely nothing in the republican doctrine that conflicts with the demands of tho extremest temperance agitators. And yet this party dare not say a word on the question of liquor. It is afraid even to mildly deprecate the saloon as a force in politics. It is absolutely dumb on a subject which everybody admits to be of the foremost importance. The democratic party stands where it always has stood, for the enforcement of the laws, and for the promotion of sobriety and temperance by all proper and reasonable methods. The prohibit ion party demands the absolute suppression of the manufacture and sale of liquor. Hut the republican party stands un'.vhere, or rather, perhaps, everywli . In New York, Pennsylvania and . .i liana it stands for the saloon. In Maine, Iowa and Kansas it stands for prohibition. In Chicago it doesn't stand at all it runs away. This is the party which is wont to boast that it has the courage of its convictions, and that it is pre-eminently the party of religion, sobriety and virtue. But what it is and what it pretends to be are too vastly difl'erent things. The TarifTNot HIrIi Knough. Congressman Jackson of Pensylvania made a speech in the house the other day in which he declared very frankly that the republican party did not intend that the tariff should be reduced in any particular if it could help it. "The republican party," he said, "never 'pledged' itself to a reduction of the tariff. It promises, when it gets again full control of the government, to revise the tariff so as to lessen the income from the tariff. But, with very few exceptions, it will do this hy vinkivj the tariff higher and by protecting some industries that are now neglected." So it seems that the 47 per cent, tariff is not high enough for the republican party. There are not enough tramps and millionaires for it now; not enough iron kings and lumber lords and salt barons ; not enough starving miners and laborers; not enough pools and trusts and combinations ! What the republican party wants, and what it proposes to have as soon as it gets the power, is a tariff so high that it will produce little revenue for the government, while it will increase the tribute which the people are compelled to pay to monopoly to the highest possible amount. This is the republican policy, as proclaimed in congress by one of the leaders of the party. How do the people like it? Free Raw Materials. Congressman Warner, who represents the Kansas City district, is a republican and a red-hot protectionist. The other day, however, when tho Milte bill was under consideration in the house, he moved an amendment, adding burlap to the free list. Burlap is a cloth woven from jute or hemp, and is largely used in the manufacture of bags. Why Maj. Warner wants the duty removed from it is explained by a stockholder in tho Kansas City bag company: The manufacture of bags is on of the greatest industries of the Mute. Missouri makes more bags and sacks than any other state in the union. She makes the hags for the agriculturalists of the tjrtat southwest. The uses to which the burlap bags arc put to in this western country are too numerous to mention. They take the plr.ee of barrels and lyses for the transportation of vegetables, corn, wheat and coal. The reduction of the taria or the putting of the burlap on the free list will make the bags cheaper and the demand would be greater. The burlap industry is a great one locally. All that this gentleman says is no doubt true. Freo burlap means cheaper bags for the farmer, and a letter market for the bag manufacturers. The government does not need tho revenue derived from the tax on burlap, and whether it benefits anybody or not, it certainly injures an important industry and imposes a reedless burden upon the agricultural interests of the country. What is true of burlap is truo of all other raw materials. Let them come in

free and an immense and healthful impetus would be given to the manufacturing interests of the country, while the cost of living would be materially reduced to the people. The only legitimate . protection which the government can afford to iron manufacturers is to give them their raw materials duty free. This will enable them to compete on even terms with their competitors in other countries. It will make a larger demand for their products, both at home and abroad, and a correspondingly larger demand for labor. Coal, lumber, wool, salt, iron and copper ought to be free. It is nothing less than a crime that these raw products should be heavily taxed for the benefit of a handful of monopolists who control the American source of supply. Free raw materials will do for the manufacturing interests of the country what free burlap will do for the bag-making industry in Protectionist Warner's district "What Achievements? "The republican party points with pride to its great achievements of the past." Thurston speech at Cliicago. What achievements? Reconstruction? The fastening of carpet-bag governments upon the South, the turning of legislatures out of doors by the military, the domination of sovereign states by force and fraud for a dozen long years? The impeachment of Andrew Johnson? The whisky ring, the star-route frauds, the varied rottenness of Grant's eight years' administration? Tho demonetization of silver? The stealing of the presidency? The establishment of the imported contract labor system ? The gifts to corporations of hundreds of millions of acres of the public domain ? Are these among the "'grand achievements" to which the republican party, through the itching finger of Lobbyist Thurston of Nebraska, "points with pride?" We learn from Jons M. Thurston, the Nebraska boodler, who bossed the Chicago convention for a while that

Thnt fisllfint leader The Chevalier of American Politics. Tho Glory of lCepublicunism. The Nightmare r.f Democracy. Our Henry of Navarre. The ttreatest Living American. Our Uncrowned King. The Worthy object of our 'Undying Love. James O. Blaine is And yet this same : The Author of the Mnlli. Kan letters. The Hero of the Ft. Smith Scandal. The man who cast anchors to windward when ho was Speaker of Congress. The Patriot who had a Substitute in the army while he "worked the departments" at Washington for fat contracts. The Statesman whom the Kepublicau party twice refused to nominate because of his odious personal record. The ex-representative of Jay (iould and the Pacific K. R. rings in the U. S. James G. Elaine is - Mr. Thurston's tribute to Blaine was we doubt not sincere. Thurston's just the same kind of a man Blaine is, only on a smaller scale. What the republican platform styles "the American system of protection" is the system that is in vogue wherever labor is most degraded and poverty and want most prevalent. It has reached its fullest development in China, where the average laboringman earns 10 cents a day, and it is in operation in Italy, Spain, Russia, Germany and France, where the "pauper labor of Europe," of which we have heard so much, is to be seen at its worht. This so-called "American system" is essentially un-American in spirit and in practice, in that it is founded upon the European idea that the many should be taxed for the benefit of the', few, and its effect is to foster monopoly, destroy competition and create a privileged class. The cry of oppressive taxes on tho necessaries of life for the benefit of monopoly is a crime against the people, none the less flagrant and intolerable that its defenders choose to term it the "American system." The republican party would effect all needed reduction of the national revenue by repealing the taxes on tobacco; and if there shall Mill remain a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the government, we favor the entire repeal of the internal revenue system rather than the surrender of any jmrt nf our protective system." So runs the republican platform. It is a declaration for free whisky and tobacco, and dear clothing, food, medicine and shelter. It is in the interest of monopoly, and against the interest of every farmer and wage earner in the land. It is the most infamous utterance that was ever incorporated in tho platform of a great political party. Unless the people have lost their senses, they will rebuke it emphatically at the polls next November. The greatest era of prosperity that this country has ever known was under the revenue tariff of 184G. Agriculture flourished, manufactures multiplied, labor prospered, the railway system had a phenomenal development, and in fact every legitimate interest in the land enjoyed a healthy growth. Now that tho democratic party proposes a slight decrease in the exorbitant taxes levied many years ago to meet the necessities created by the great war, we are told that it is in conspiracy against the progress and prosperity of the country. The experience of the United States under a tariff much lower than tho democratic party now proposes furnishes a sufficient refutation of this false and wicked charge. John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, who was tho temporary chairman of tho republican convention, is one of the most notorious lobbyists in the country. Ho handles the corruption fund of the Union Pacific railway,' and plays the same distinguished role at Lincoln every winter that Chacncey Depew used to play at Albany. Thurston is a fit representative of the spirit and tendencies of the republican party of to-day. i That high protective plank of the republican platform will produce the death rattle in the party's throat. Gentlemen of the republican party order crape for November tho corpse will be ready. The republican party "'reaffirms'' its "unswerving devotion to tho constitution." It was a republican who pronounced the constitution a "league with

death and a covenant with hell," and it is the republican party which has trampled that instrument in the dust whenever it has conflicted with its ignoble purposes. The republican party's devotion to the constitution is about as strong as Bob Ingersoll's devotion to the bible.

We insist that the duties on wool shall be adjusted and maintained so as to furnish full and adequate protection to that industry liepvhlican platform. Docs this mean that the existing duties on wool should be increased? If so, why didn't the convention say so in bo many words? Can it be that it was afraid to openly declare itself in favor of increasing the taxes on the people's blankets and clothing? That sleek, well fed monopolist, Benjamin F. Jones, presented a "spectacle for gods and men" as he stood on the platform at Chicago and prated of the pauper labor of Europe and the necessity of protecting the American workingman by taxing him forty-seven per cent, on everything he consumes. The pauper labor racket won't work this year. It frightened the workingmen in 1SS0, but they have learned by sad experience since that time that a 47 per cent, tariffand pauperized labor go together. The bandana continues in demand. A New York merchant recently gave an order for 1,000,000 of the regulation pattern. Harrisox and Morton represent Wall-st., monopolies, "trusts," syndicates and the various rings of the country. The dispatches from Washington say President Cleveland is "serene." Why shouldn't he be ? The labor element will have nothing to do with the Chicago ticket. How do the friends of Judge Gresiiam like the ticket? We think Indiana is safe for Cleveland and Thurm ax. The ticket is an exceedingly weak one. Dowx with the war taxes! On, what a convention. CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY. Monday, June IS.

Two or three days after, in the walked, with her footman carrying the box, saying in u very imperious tone: 'Madam, my dress is spoiled; it doesn't fit at all.' 'Oh, I am sorry,' Mas the reply; 'will you try it on?" Hie consented, and although there wa nothing to alter, the gown lit perfectly, I told her I nv where the trouble was and would remedy it, asking lipr to call two days after, when it would be ready. After she bad gone 1 carefully replaced the dress in the box, put it away, aud when she called tried it on again. It was then all right, and ehe expressed her delight and entire satisfaction with the 'alterations.' " I'orakrr Illustrating Himself. Memphis Appeal. Fornker of Ohio is still smarting under the pnub cdministercd to him by Mrs. Cleveland at the Philadelphia centenary, lie last night availed himself of an opportunity afforded him to address the Chicago convention to assail Mr. Cleveland personally and vituperatively. He said among other things that the president is not a gentleman, entirely oblivious of the fact that he was at that moment giving the country most decided proof that he himself is no gentleman. Jr'oraker is a rash, bad-tempered !)olitician, who is blind to the fact that the day las gone by for rhetorical blackguardism. The people of the United States have advanced several stages beyond that and have no patience with public men who are given to it. In another column of this issue will be found an entirely new and novel specimen of attractive advertising. . It is one of the neatest ever placed in our paper and we think our readers will be well repaid for examining the supposed display letter in the advertisement of Prickly Asa Bitters.

AX AXGRY FATHER KILLED

BY HIS DAUGHTER'S WAYWARD LOVER The Young: Man Himself Receives a Shot Over the Heart, bat Lnckily for Ulm it Struck a IUb-A rtrulle Trneedy. "Will is up here having trouble with Long." This was the message that was carried to Henry Baker, a dairyman, at 7 o'clock Sunday evening aa he sat in front of his house near the corner of Twenty-second and Tcnnessee-sts. The messenger that brought the intelligence came from an ice-cream festival that was being held in a field about a half a mile north, known as "Le Page's woods." Baker realized at once the import of the words. lie hr.d been having considerable trouble with George Long, the young man referred to, for about a year past. His daughter, a comely brunette of twenty years, had been accepting bis company for the last three years. Long had J-XSr f been very attentive 'Sefe quent visits to the i-vSOr.rvr; fr-w bouse during that fciQJL?? time. Mr. Baker, it XCUfeSi seems, had made obvrf jections to ins visits from the start, as Long had not borne AI.I.IE baker. a very enviable reputation. He had lived at'Mapleton for Feveral years, and among his acquaintances he v as regarded as rather a desperate character, ea ily giving way to a fierce temper. For two years, how ever, he continued to court the voting lady. Trouble liaJ frequently arisen between the father and the lover. About one year ngo the trouble had increased. Long beg:m to drink very bard, and lie soon became known as a very dissipated and pmiligate character 1 he young lady herself finally could bear his reckless 3, : a ness no longer, and CiKORGE LUNfl. she gave him to understand that his attentions were no longer desired. Long threatened her and swore ho would have revenge upon her or some of the family who, he thought, had alienated her affections from him. During the last three months, it is alleged, Long has time and again made threats that he intended to "do the old man up." At every opportunity, too, he has given the young iady great annoyance by persisting in his attentions anil threatening her when she refused to keep Iiis company. The trouble cluminated in a terrible tragedy. Miss Long went to the ice cream festival m company with a friend, Miss Fanuie Bailiff, a neighbor girl. After being there some little time they were suddenly rendered very apprehensive by the approach of Low:, who stated his determination to accompany Miss Allie home. It seems that fearing to reject him she had started down the road with him toward her home. Her brother, Will Buker, learning of Long's conduct, started in pursuit, aud overtook them. A war of words immediately began, which resulted in a light. Long, who was by far the larger of the two, bail all the advantage. He began striking at Baker and driving him out of the road down into the gutter, and almost against the fence. He finally made a blow at Baker, who dodged it, and Long fell to the ground. Before Baker could secure anything to disohle his antagonist, Iyong arose, boiling with rage. Baker had secured a stone, but it was taken from him by a friend. At this time Henry Baker, the father, who had heard of the trouble, came up and said: "Long, I have had enough of this trouble." "So have I," said Lmg. Will Baker thus tells what followed, and his statement was corroborated by several witnesses whom Til F. Sentinel reporter talked to last night : "Jxli advanced on father and began striking at lum. Father than began to lull back ami Long pressed him toward the fence. 1 picked up a rock but somebody took it away from nie. As Long continued to strike, father felt for his revolver, and they clinched. During the strugele the weapon was discharged and that shot hit Long. The revolver was knocked out of father's hand and he started to run. saying: 'Bon't shoot.' Long pulled his revolver and fired, and father fell. The ball entered his back just behind the shoulder-blade." "How many shots were tired'" was asked. "Oil! I don't know " he said in an agitated manner. "I was too frightened." Baker was first reached after he fell by Edward Shore, who states that the wounded man irave but one gasp afterward and expired, the hull probably having passed through his heart. Shore with the help ot others bore the body to the house, wlif re it was received by the weeping wife and other son, .lohn. Alter Iong had shot Baker, he was taken in a buggy by Harry Smoc k, son of W. C. Mmoek, who drove the wounded man to his home on Thirty-third-st. When ('apt. Colbert and Scrg't Bawson arrived at the house, Long Mas in bed, sutiering severely from the effect of the shut. He consented readily, however, to accompany the officers to the city, and was driven directly to the station-house. While awaiting the arrival of Ir. Marsee, who had been Munitioned, Iong coolly told the story of the killing. He is thirty-two years of age and about five feet, ten inches in height. A large black mustache, a steel gray eye and dark complexion are his distinguishing features, and he is not a bad looking man. He said: "1 am a gas-fitter by trade. I have been working for the plumbing firm of Meal & Bensley, corner of Market and Tennessee-sts. ; have been living at the corner of Twenty-second and Illinois-sts. for the last five years with my widowed mother, and for the same length of time have been keeping company with Alice Baker. Between 7 and 8 o'clock 1 met Alice, and while talking to her in front of I. Page's ice-e ream saloon, near her home, we were njproached by her brother William. He called me a vile name and wanted to know what right I had to go with his sister. I did not touch the boy, and after he had cursed me roundly he ran into the house and called his father. The old man then came out ami said: 'You G d d d b d s n of a b h you have been fooling around mv daughter long enough. You have been talking about her, and I won't stand it any longer.' That was a lie, and as soon as he said it I whacked him and knocked hin down and kicked hira. Some one then cried out 'he has a revolver,' and I n.kud the by-standers to take it away from ltini. But before I knew it he discharged the weapon and I knew that I was shot. 1 grabbed hold of him then and in the struggle (I had my onus wound about him) he dropped the w eapon anil I b t go of him. He then started to run, I grabbed the revolver and shot him." Just as Long finished Dr. Marsee arrived aud the wounded man was placed on a pallet, pre-' para lory to having the ball extracted. As the surgeon dettly ran his finger V.oug the course of the bullet, which could by traced by the outward irritation, Long would groan convulsively. In a moment the ball was located, squeezed into a little knot of llesh, a cut with a sharp knife and it fell out a 32-calibre. Long gave a sigh of relief and said: "By George, boys, it hurt worse coming out than going in." The ball had struck on a rib and glanced backward. An eighth of an inch higher and he would have been killed instantly. iong was slated for murder. Miss Baker was almost rendered insane at the terrible tragedy. She was taken home and Dr. Carter of Mapleton was sent for. It was found necessary to give her opiates to quiet her and put her to sleep. The neighbors everywhere w ere thoroughly aroused, and if Long had not been arrested and removed by the otlicers there might have been a lynching to record with the murder. The feeiing seemed to be ngaiust him universally. The dead man was a well-to-do dairyman, about forty-five years old. SUNDAY'S TRAGEDY. The Slnyer Admitted to Hall and an Kxamination Begun by the Coroner. Tuesday's Daily Sentinel. George W. Long, who shot and instantly killed Henry Baker, the dairyman, night beforo last, near Crown Hill cemetery, was taken before Acting-Mayor Alford yesterday morning aud wjivei icJinüu-

mm

ary examination. Afterward, however, Long's attorney, Ben Danes, had the waiver withdrawn and requested that the defendant be admitted to bail. Prosecutor Wright ßtated to the court that the defendant could hardly be charged w ith the crime of murder as the killing was undoubtedly unpremeditated, and his bond was accordingly fixe! at S2.000. Long'a wound is not considered dangerous, though it is very painful. The coroner did not hold an inquest on the body of Bilker yesterday as he could not get physicians "to assist him, because of the reluctance of the county commis

sioners to allow their fees. However, ho took the testimony of several witnesses, including the son and daughter of the deceased. The coroner states that as far a his examination has extended, be is inclined to believe that the killing was not justifiable. He will endeavor to hold the inquest to-day. Sunday Marriages. New York 8un.l The astonishing statement comes from Pennsylvania that the supreme court of that state has lately decided that a recent marriage solemnized n Sunday was null and void, since accordiL . o the Sunday law s no contract executed ou that day is legal, and holding that marriage is no more than a civil contract. According to the old English common law, the foundation of all our legal fabric, marriage is a civil contract and it is moreover a religious ceremony. And in the a nee of any distinct American legislation to the contrary, a marriage is just as valid when performed on Sunday as on any of the secular days' of the week. This is the common sense view, and the view of most people, we believe. If Judge Kelley can spare time from his political duties he ought to hunt up this sapient Daniel of the supreme bench and ask him what he means by making a fool of the Keystone state before the eyes of mankind. Opposed to Any Reduction. Lafayette Journal. The Chicago republican platform is squarely opposed to any reduction of the present 47 per cent war taritl. It declares for free tobacco and says it will accept free whiskv before it will submit to 1 cent reduction of the taritl'.
