Special. The democratic out-pouring last night to ratify the nomination of Cleveland and Thurman, was a success far beyond the most ardent expectations of any.

The procession, being formed, marched ahont the principal parts of the city preceded by the brass bmd and halted in front of democratic headquarters. The meeting being ealled to order, the Hon. Jason B. Brown amended the brilliantly lighted platform and for nearly two hours held his immense audience spellbound with one of the very best efforts of his life.

Tbey are all for Harrison, as all democrats have withdrawn from the organization on account of the unfair spirit of intolerance that is nourished in iL l'olitical bitterness docs not end at its portals, but on the contrary, its members gather within for the ole purpose of political discussion. Will s reunion in which such men take part be free from partisanship? Democrats Rejoicing, Etc. Bixfftox, July 3. Special.

The Dakota bar seems to to be getting in his work to the Indianapolis Journal and other republican papers in exaggerating republican ratification meetings and the enthusiasm for the ticket.

After the conclusion of his speech, and while leaving the house, he was attacked by republicans who attended his meeting and was severely injured. He was struck on the head by a swiftly thrown stone.

Elder Brazelton was formerly a leading republican in this part of Indiana, and in represented this county in the legislature. ,. . ?lore Anti-Harrison Sentiment. BocxviXLE, July 9. Special. republicans are very much disgusted, notwithstanding the county is expected to give the usual majority for them. . In 18SC their boasted majority was cut to seventy-six on treasurer, ninety-two on clerk and the democrats elected the auditor. The democrats are in good position for a sturdy fisrht on county, state and national ticket. There are twenty-three avowed greenbaokers here with prominent and brainy leaders. They declare themselves averse to Harrison's every sentiment on the greenback and labor questions. One remarked to Tue Skntixkl correspondent very recently that the greenbackers had been awaiting an opportunity like the pending one to return the compliment that Harrison paid their intellect when he refered to them as "fiat idiots" and their money as ''vagabond currency," and that 15,000 preenhackers were in line organized to vote again.1-1 him. Prohibitionists are also opposed to him. Such men as Alfred K. Stark of the Barker bank. Attorney Elwood Hunt, a vigorous prohibitionist, and the Itev. Z. D. Morris, another worker, are not ready to lend their wide influencetoward the success of a platform that opposes every principle of their profession. They each supported Mr. Blaine four years nco. A republican neighbor ot The SkxTINKL correspondent now takes The Mentis ei- He mildly says that he questions the Journals position on some things. He was in the legislature last term, elected by republicans. John Beadle's paper, the Tribune, a revised republican paper, has made a great change in the district lately as a free trade organ, which must ultimately redound to the strength of the democracy. Its pushing editor, I. IL Strouse, successor to John 11. Beadle now of iS'ew York, is of true-blue republican blood, but is now a liberal and will support, with his might, President Cleveland. He says Cleveland is by no means what the free traders want, but his honest administration of public aflairs, his unswerving allegiance to the public good, his uncompromising attitude toward monopolists and Iiis just demand for a reduction of the war tarilf in times of . peace, make it possible to a duty for every liberal person and wrss to be his supporter. Dick Garland, a soldif r of wide local repute, is one of many of the Tribune' f converts, ami he, in turn Ms his following. In Parke county we exp et ;reat changes, made through the changes .-..ig on entirely in the ranks of the opposition, so that by the disaffected republicans, the greenbackers, the prohibitionists and the free traders, we stand nn excellent show of giving Parke county a democratic majority. A, Gang of lturglars. KxiGIITSTOWX, July 4. Special. For several months this vicinity has been infested with a gang of burglars.

Stolen goods were also recovered at Jesse Wright's near Greenfield.

There is a general feeling of relief since the gang has been broken up. A Dish of Crov. GosriEX, Ind., July 8. Special. The nice dish of crow which the republicans of Elkhart served up for their brethren here at the late judicial convention has made the average Goshenite crazy to wallow in Elkhart political gore. So when they brought out their fellowtownsman, J. "L. Dodge, as a candidate for congress Gon. Jl. L. Hascail of this city, was at once trotted out to "do up" the Elkhart man. In order to git rid of Van Slyke, who also has a little congressional boomlet maturing in his noddle, the Goshen Times is earnestly pushing him for representative. Whether Van Slyke will see through this move and refuse to le thus unceremoniously shelved remains tobe seen. The rest of the district will probably have soiuething to Bay upon the subject, and may spank the Elkhart county delegation and nominate a man of their own.

Tried to Kill Hiraseir. GREENFIELD, July 6. Special.-!. A. Simmonds of Keokuk, la,, tried to kill himself here with chloraL Prompt use of remedies saved his life.

With due respect to our republican friends, we protest against the weak and puerile attempt to introduce a "Tippecanoe-and-Tyler-too farce into the campaign. It has a pennywhistle squeak that is supremely ridiculous. There is nothing of the "log-cabin-md-hard-cider" 6tyle about the present head ot the Harrison family, and hard cider would be an indiscreet accessory, anyhow, in a cauipaiirn in which a bid ia to be made for the prohibition vote. Besides, the repulse of the Indians in the attack on Harrison's camp at Tippecanoe wat not much of an atliiir. We advise the republicans to have as little to say as possible about Tippecanoe, and to leave theirc andidate's ancestry alone.especially as the '".Regicide" story aud the Pocahontas Btory are now said to be mythical. Men are not elected because of their fathers or grandfathers or great-grand-fathers. The Railroad Attorneys' Convention. Chicago Times. The personnel of the California delegation was remarkable. Haymond, the railroad lawyer, at its head; "Fred" Crocker, the Pacific railway man's son, next; "Eli" Henison, the Faeitio railway mau's news agent, next in line, whose republicanism does not really begin until 1877. He is now Creed Haymond's assistant at a salary of $19,0oi) a year, which he draws from the treasury of the Central Pacilic. Chicago News. A remarkable fact about the Nebraska delegation which was not generally known before is that the delegation was tendered and excepted the use of the private car of the general manager of the Union Pacific road-car no. "J5. The car remained in the depot here during the convention and took the gentlemen home yesterday afternoon. Seven of the ten Nebraska delegates are railroad attorneys, and employes, Thurston, the temporary chairman of the convention, being at their head. A Hard Blow at High Tariff. Fbiladelphia Telegraph rep. One of the most significant events since the adjournment of the Chicago convention is the final defection from the party of the leading republican paper of Rhode Island. Published in the very center of New England manufacturing industry, at the home of thecxtremest protectionist views, it squarely takes issue with the party to which it has belonged for a quarter oi a century, not upon personal grounds as to the candidates, but on the great question of tariff reform. This is the point upon which attention must be centered; this is the real and startling significance of this journalistic defection. It is a bolt from a clear sky; it is a hard blow atthe high tariff policy, at a time and in a place where its efiect must be most Beriously felt. The Itepulriican l'oliry. rost-DL! atch. The republican party, always eager to protect home industry, and especially the labor of coupon clipping, promptly repealed the income tax eoon after the war. and left the burden of our debts, experses and pensions resting on the "mud-ailUof society." The incomes thus protected have since fallen into the very Lad habit of going to Europe to be expended there. But the republican party could not be induced to keep a part of those incomes at home by means of an income tax. Like the whisky ax, an income tax would help to lighten the taxation which absorbs much of the purchasing power of the laboring man's wages, and the republican doctrine is that Euch absorption is a protection to labor. A Party of Special Interests. Tho Nation ind. In 18T)6 and I860 the republican party was an organization of unselfish men, who appealed to the intelligence of the nation. In 1SS8 it has sunk to be a party of special interests based upon the selfishness of men who want to make money or get offices out of it, aud it goes before the country upon a platform which "insults the intelligence of the peonle" to quote Mr. Pepew's characterization of Mr. Blaine's "rebel debt" speeches in 1871 by yelling ' free trade," when the democrats propose to carry out the very policv of lowering taxes and reducing the surplus which the republicans themselves advocated in their pettcr'Uay-

Democratic Policy, f Xcw York Star. The surplus, and the peril of that surplus, inspired the prominence which the president gave in his annual message to the necessity for a reducton of the sum of federal taxation. ITe declared to congress that the taxes must be diminished because of the dangerous surplus. The St. Louis convention said that the remaining suiplus should be obliterated in a way, first, to cheapen the necessities of life, and, next, to aid and benefit our manufacturers and farmers by untaxing the imported raw materials which are to be used by our manufacturers. That is democratic policy. In another column of this issue will be found an entirely new and novel specimen of attractive advertising.
