nil n im Indiana When Kopulilioan and When Democratic How the Former Ibiirlirl aat Hitgoverned the Stute Summary of the Urform ArromplUlieil by tlie Ik-tuiw racy Whu Wuiiltl 43 lUi-k tu the Old System? Indiana Republicanism is essentially retrogressive. It has for years stxxl in the way of necessary reforms and now announce that if given power it will repeal tho Icgfelathm that has been enacted by the Democracy. This being the zatus, it is well to refresh the memory to the old method and learn what it is that tho Republican party would bring I as back to. Rotten Electoral Syatein. Up to 181K) Indiana had one of the worst election laws that ever was de vised. It made fraud easy and invited every device, to cheat the voter out of his honest expression of opinion. While ostensibly u secret ballot it was in effect just the opposite. The jwirty managers and workers had little difficulty in Ascertaining how every man voted. Vote buying was facilitated by the method. prevailing and intimidation or espionage were made easy I bv lack of safeguards and secrecy. Under this vicious law the Republicans found it easy to practice those arts which I enabled it often to win victories where the honest majority was clearly against t them. In a straggle of this kind that , party had a great advantage. Its long , supremacy in state and nation and am- j sequent control of vast sums of money, ; its "pull" on tho trusts and corjwrato " wealth made its resources practically t unlimited. Tho party opposing it had to contend against immense odds. Everv Iudianiau will remember the , camiuiign of 1SS0. Dorscy. the Arkansas carpetbagger, was imported aud E laced in full charge, his only capital fing an abundant supply of money aud a total lack of conscience. How this vassal plied his nefarious pime and the consequent debauchery of the state with his crisp ten-dollar bills is too well known to be rejx-ated. The same game was repeated on a larger scale in 1BSS, with only u change of generals aud an enlargement of "commissary supplies." Dudley and his "blocks-of-tive" proved the last feather that broke the camel's back. Tho whole state- was disgusted with the shameless exhibition of that year and a cry went up from river to lake for a decent law that would abolish Dudlevism nnd rescue tho state from its debasing influences. Democracy to the Kencue. Fortunately for tho people, the legisla ture of 1SS0 proved to Iks Democratic and one of its first moves was to introdueu a ballot law framed upon the Aus tralian system. Th Republicans quickly recognized that this was an attack upon their "vested rights" of debauching the suffrage and that if enacted would destroy their supremacy. They dreaded nothing so much as an honest ballot law and the whole tribe of Dudleys, Dorseys ami Micheners were indignantly arraved against the proposed reform. After a bitter contest, with the Democracy arrayed solidly ou one side aud the Kepnixicans with practical unanimity ou the other, the measure became a law. It was first tested in the fall of 18U0 and th elec tion that vear was a revelation to tho people of the state. For the fir timo m its history tho state had an elecnoa that was absolutely fair aud honest. Vote-buying was rendered impoMtble. Absolute secret:v and safety wan secured to the voter. The ticket-handler and lustlers, heretofore inseparable adjunct of Indiana elections, will no more be seen. Tho crowds around the polls, through which in former years the citizen was compelled to press his way, had disappeared. All was quiet and peac;aule. There was no pulling aim naming, there was no independent solicitation. above all, there was no mysterious trans fer of money around the corners, buch in brief was what was done for Indiana in the important matter of reforming tho electoral system. Am to Scheel Book. Another crying evil in Indiana for years had beeu the manipulation ox sehool book by sundry formed rings and class corporations. Frequent changes of school books, which were ef fected by scheming and collusion, tho monopoly enjoyed by favored firms and many other abuses long worked great hardships upon the patrons of schools. Tho expense constituted an immense tax all the more dtmcult to be borne because of tho fact that it was known to be for the beiioflt of rings and people who enJoyed political "pulls." This abuse also, after a long and doubtful straggle, was finally swept away by a Democratic legislature. A law was passed carefully regulating the whole business, fixing Eicca and insuring ituprovnieuts. M)ks purchased are good until nsed up and are not suniect to sudden and caarents moving from

Kiny ai evwry singe. Kolibery liy t'uruual Taxation. But the greatest of all reforms for the people of Indiana was the passage of the new tax law in IS'Jl. Before that the trap wan laid to catch the small game while tho large always managed to break through. Tho a,-ses.inir was I loose, haphazard and unfair. Those lnauf niilit tit tmv it-.ti ....... ...II.. 1 oxtVMt- whil,! the iKiwerful corporation, the favored inilliouaire ami money lord either i-mmimsI wrtprely or paid only a fraction nf hi past lites. Tho evils were great and universal and long nnd loud were tho demands for relief, At length it came nnd now Indiana has tho fairest and most equitably administered tax I law of any state in the union. All are

comelIcd to pay in projiortiou to their holding. Favorit im has Urn alvlished and tax-dodging made exceedingly difficult, if not impossible. Whnt llepiiUllmnUni TVarhra. It is dilllcult to conceive, but it is nevertheless true, that one of tho great political parties of Indiana has pledged itself, if restored to jwmvr, to repeal or change all of the beneficial legislation aobve enumerated. Tho Republicans give the teople to uuderrand that tho Australian ballot law is not go.xl for their health. They yearn for the return of the Dudleys and the Dorseys. They sigh for the "good hl days" when vote-buying was a fine art and a "vented right" of Republicanism They look mournfully at the Democratic law which ruined this Republican industry and insists that steps -hall le taken to "protect" it again. The same party wants the old louse tax system aud the ring schcoliicok system. In fact, they want to curry the state bark a decade or two to the days when cheating at

elections was easy, when tax dixlgmg was in full vogue and when favored cliques controlled sehool Mtpplies. For all these and other abuses the Republican party mourns, like Rachel for her children, and ref ies to 1- comforted because they an- r.ot. If they get kick into power, thev sav, thi-re shall be a general siiiil-IiIiik of reform laws and an undoing of all the pM tlting that Democracy has done for the state in the last 10 years. Some Republican jiapers are complainiug that the new bill makes snch radical reduction in the tariff that prices ou most articles will be rwluced In-low what American manufacturers can affonl to make them for. Other Republican pa per are gloating over the alleged Democratic failure to accomplish any substantial tariff reduction. The.-o assertions are inconsistent. Which one do the Republican leaders propoe to adopt in making their campaign attacks on the new tariff? Omaha World-Herald. All the panics of the last 35 years have occurred under a high protective tariff, if not because thereof. Yet tho RepubHeins would hao us behovo that it was "the threat of fnv trade" that made the country wilt and wither. Common sene teaches that it is what has happened aud not what is goiiu; to )mpieii that causes financial depression either to individuals or nations. Whatever bad national laws are on the books up to the pre-ent congress are due solely to the Republican party. The last year was the first in over 33 that the Democrats had the power to pa-v. federal statute. Panics and hard time?, always come from what has been done and not what may lo done in future. Tho late disaster was purely a Republican product. Benjamin Ilarri-ou threatens to go over into West Virginia and help his friend Steve Elkius down Chairman Wilson in the congressional race. Benny will have his hands full at home, and when matters warm up a little will find that he can .-pare no time from Indiana if he hoies to keep his party in a respectable minority. The Republican party for a year past has been a veritable calamity howler. It tried to make the country believe a visitation had Ik-oii sent uiwn it liecause it was choked loo.-c from the offices. It welcome! hiinl times ami blue ruin in hojies that Mich conditions might enable it to get laek under cover without merit, re)eutauce or reform of past sins. Since the Democrats gave Indiana a decent ballot law onu never hears any more of Dorsey, Dudley & Co., who used to be the most prominent adjuncts of Republican campaigns. Like Othello, their occupation is gone, aud with them has gone the two-dollar-bill device and the "blneks-of.five" system, which ran for years under Republican jiatcnts. Republican platforms this year are all things to all men and everything to everybody. They promise one thing in the west and another in the 'a.-t, promise both things at once in some sections, and are ready to grant the people whatever they want provided only they give the proniisers the office. The Republican party Inn no existence in the south and but a very precarious one in the extreme wet. Soon it will have to rely exclusively ujsm Pennsylvania ami Vermont for its claim of being a national party. It never was a national party, but purely sectional from its birth. The Republicans are not carrying Indiana its much us they were a few weeks ago. As the shades of autumn approach their chances grow slimmer and slimmer and by election time they will discover that the "great revolt against Democracy" we have heard so much about has not materialized. , Republicanism wa thrown out of power in "JJ for a long list of political suis. rw, wiuiout any signs or rejtentance and certainly without any improvement in morals, it asks to be restored. It will take much more than two years nf ih til tmrifv n tvirtt- vi-lii..!. I. ...I m i. -' i'..... . , ...Vit MW1 V years to learn its wickedness. The Republicans are pledged to repeal ! the prc-ent state tax law if given jxiwer. They want to return to the old system which let the big corporations escape and plucel the burden ou the rest of the people. Repnblicaiii-m is nothing if not a friend ami copartner with trusts. The Republican party ha lost two senator- without the formality of elections. Senators Stewart ami Jones of Nevada have left their old party in disgust on account of its liotilitv to silver. If this thing keeps up there will not be enough of the old party to swear by or at. What can organizi.-d labor ask of any Girty than ha In-eu done for it bv the emocr.icy in Indiana. All the lalwr laws now ou the statute books werJ ' placed there by the Democrats. Not a reform of this kind can lie credited to " the Republicans. All Knownothing parties spring from andgobaekto Republicanism. The present A. P. A. is aspawuof the same parent. ' No such snakes as thi are ever hatched from Democratic 'ggs.
