The Ligonier wnuer :g 5 T i © J. B, STOLL, Editor. e THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1883. ] OUR THANKS are due to Hon, Walpole G. Colerick, ex-member of Congress from this district, for exceptionally valuablé public documents. ! set e WitAT's: the matter with the New Era’s mathematics? It talks glibly about “ten ye‘a}rs’ gilence,” just as.if ten years had- already expired since the Era’s party leaders stole the presidency. - : : : MaJpR CALKINS, Who islikely to be made the republican candidate for Governor next year, Bays no man con- ‘ spicuously identified with the prohibi-‘ tion movement in this State last year‘ can hope to reach the gubernatorial chair. How does this strike the prohibition champion of the New Era?

WE HAVE a law upon our statute books prohibiting any pefson from taking thé name'of the Lord in vain, using obscene or profane language up on our streets. Is 1t enferced ? If such a prokibitory law cannot be enforced, how in the name of common sense can a law prohibiting the manufacture, sale and use of intoxlcating liquor be enforced? In the language of Rev, Mr. Dobson, “you might as well attempt to stop the moon as to attempt

the prohibition of the liquor traffic.”— Steuben Republican,

BY THE WAY, what does the prohibition editor of the Albion New Era think of the bountiful supply of champagne, wine, whisky and brandy with which President Arthur and his cabinet officers provided themselves on their recent journey to the West? Is that just the thing for the chief of a party which claims to embrace all the virtue, sobriety and morality of the country? How would this little circumstance answer as a text for an iEra dissertation on the evils of i'ntox-] icants? _lf want of space should be offered as a 'reason for declining toi dwell on this exhilerating topic, we beg leave fo suggest that perhaps a‘ lecture in the court house would an-_ swer the purpose just as well, 1

Tou NELSON—pardon us, General Thomas H. Nelson, of Terre Haute,— says that Senator Voorhees, as a dem ocratio nominee for Governor of Indiana, would sweep the State liké s whirlwind.' Tom, it will be remem bered, is. a professional republican stump-speaker, with a special capacity for saying as mean and also as pretty things as ever fell from the lips of u modern orator. e could not'well be anything but a hide-bound Republican, even if he tried ever so hard; but a 1 ‘the same time he can at times afford to be just to a political enemy. He ix o neighbor to Mr. Voorhees, aud has fought mapy hard political battles with' that eloquent champion of Democracy. They are warm persona' friends, and hardly ever allow political differences to interfere with their personal relations. This is commend: able and reflects . great credit upor both gentlemen. Nelson is doubtless correct when he says that. the “Tal Sycamore” could sweep the- State Jike awbirhyixid, but Mr. Vocrhees wil not be a candidate for Governor. His ambition does not ran in that direc tion. His desire is to return to the U. S. Senate. There he feels at home, and there he thinks he can best serve the interests of the people of Indiana.

A GoOD DEAL of surprise ig expressed in republican circles over the thoroughly non-partisan apportion ment bill lately passed by the Georgis legislature. “Surprise ﬁn this particu lur is due to the fact that wherever they are in the majority, republicans invariably indulge in gerrymandering. A fair apportionment by a republicau legislature is something unheard of since that party has passed under the control of the Jacobin leaders. Look at Pennsylvania, for example. There the legislature has been in session foi weeks and months, for the purpose of agreeing upon an apportionment of the state for congressional and Jegislative purposes. The democrats, who control the lower house, have made every concession they could honorably make, but, the republican majority

of the senate persistently refuses to agree to any proposition- that would give the democrats anything like a fair representation either in congress or in the state legislature. = The republican ultimatum is that they must have eighteen certain republican districts, while the democrats are to be put off with eight certain and two doubtful districts. They will listen to nothing else, and thus keep the legislature 1n segsion at an enormous expense. The democrats are clearly in the right and should stand by their guns to the last. The time has fully arrived when republicans must be made to understand that democrats have rights that even republicans shall be compelled to respect. g

IN CINCINNATI a deplorable condition of affairs exists in political cir cles, The republican county convention was controlled by the worst elenents of the party, under the leadership of Tom Campbell, an eminent criminal lawyer and professional ringster. The democratic convention was captured by John R. McLean, the dashing machine politician of the . Cincinnati Enguirer. Itis dificult to determine whieh of the two conventions wds the most reprehensible af fair. There is some sort of political partnership between Johnny MecLean and Tom Campbell, hence it matters but little to these manipulators which of the two tickets wins. The Democrats, who are not accustomed to boss and machide rule, do the most kicking, although the better class of Republicans feel quite sore over Bose Campbell’s-methods of lording it over - them. The anti-Boss democrats have issued a call for'a new conventiop to -repudiate the action of the MeLean machine, They seem tobe thordughly in earnestylf %r peti ?ﬂ"rnel by wisdom §§ﬁ ion, the chances of Judge Hoadly,will be largenew ticke “” { thiat bo i wings Mbedst T B Row Bret e of the party ote the State ticket and exert w 0 the ugmdst to exhibit thelr numerical Bfrength.

,- At Indianapolis public sentiment ‘among Democrats runs very strongly in favor of the old ticket. Gov. Hendricks’ great | personal popularity | doubtless largely contributes to thiu‘ condition of things. & :

" THE . Logansport Pharos warmly advocates the nomination of Judge Holman for Governor. ' It says the people demand the nomination of a man whose integrity is: unquestioned. Judge Holman fully ‘meets that requirement. :

WIiLL the ultra partisan of .the Albion New Era be kind enough to inform its readers whether or not the republican supreme court of Florida did or did not decide that a majority of the votes of that State were cast for Tilgen and Hendricks ? :

IT 18 TO BE HOPED that Mr. Alvord feels happy over the laudatory mention he receives at the- hands of the republican papers. of - this copnty. Hope he may feel duly grateful—a characteristic not heretofore developed to any considerable extent by that individual. | !

HoN. ALF. P. EDGERTON is again mentioned in connection. with the democrafic nomination for Governor. Bro. Wadsworth, of the LaPorte Argus, will doubtless feel greatly elated ‘over this announcement. It will afford him an excellent opportunity to dwell on Mr. Edgerton’s remarkable capacity for enhancing democratic prospeeta.; f - . b

I'me Kendallville Standard 'does not seem to'lbe aware of the fact that according m republican fest.imon'y from fifty tp sixty thousand colored citizens of Georgia voluntarily and of their own free will and accord vote the democratic ticket. If it is in doubt about this matter, let the editor -address Gen. Longstreet or some other Republican leader “of that State for a bill of particulars. ; DokEs the editor of the Albion New Era consider Roscoe Conkling a R«publican? If so, will he be kind enough to explain why that distinguished gentleman never spoke of R. B.Hayes as President Hayes? Conkling advocated the creation of the electoral commission, but he did it in good faith, and for that reason he was notpermitted to serve as a member. of the commission. He would not have stultified himself like Edmunds by voting lagainst hearing or receiving testimony in a.case -that was to be decided upon its merits. ‘ Tue Warsaw Indianian Republican of last week speaks in very satisfactory terms of the consolidation brought about a year ago between the two rival republican papers of that eity. FHE BANNER is heartily rejoiced to learn that this consolidation has proy- - 80 advantageous to Messrs. Williams & Hosler, and sincerely hopes shat the time may never come when the parties to that consolidation shall have cause to regret that step. They naturally belong together and} ~hould never have been separated. “United we stand, divided we fall,” '8 maxim that applies with spucial force to cases of this character. |

SINCE the New Era displays so much intercst in ‘the presidential fraud of 1876, that paper might possihly now, be induced to inform its -eaders hbw it was possible for the Hayes electors of Louisiana ‘o have had a majority over the Tilden electors, 'vheh the Haves administration subsequently decided through the MacVeigh commission that Packard, who had received morg votes than the Hayes electors, was not entitled to the Governorship by virtue of his failure to obtain ja majority ‘of the votes cast in November of 18767 Will the amiable chief of the organ at the hub be kind enough' to. answer without evasion?' We shall see.

COUNT MOLTKE has headed a new ‘emperance movement in Germany, 'hat has! for its purpose the preven"ion of the abuse of alecoholie drinks. [t disclaims all interference with the use of beer. The Germans may lend 4n ear to a temperance movement of this kind.—Kendallville Standard. . Certainly they will, Itis based on common sense and appeals directly to the judgment and intelligence of the people. Such a movement would be earnestly supported by Germans in this country. They despise drunkenness as greatly as any other class of good people. But they do not favor such visionary schemes as prohibition enactments. In course of time the friends of practical temperance will be brought together upoun a broad platform, and then beneficial legislation may.be looked for with some degree of confidence. :

AS ALREADY STATED in these columuos, Mr. Wi, H. Nortou, for a number of years foreman and political editor of the Gushen Democrat, recently purchased the Elkhart Monitor print ing establishment. ‘Mr. Noiton took charge of that office last week. He changed the name.of the paper to that of The Elkhart Weekly Sentinel, and gave his readers very strong evidence of his ability to publish a first-class county paper. In its make-up it presents a very handsome appearance, and its contents ‘reveal the ready writer and experienced journalist. The field being a good one and Mr. Norton being fully qualified to satis factorily fill it, THE BANNER can see no reason why the Sentinel should nog enter upon a useful and. prosperous career. K May success attend his effdrts. i

Ir the colored people of Georgia are all republicans, and are given a free and ‘uniutimidated ballot at the next congressional election, six republican congressinen could be elected in that state. Itis a matter of some surprise that the legislature has passed an apportionment bill that allows a negro majority in six out of ten districts. But the colored ‘people are so ahund ant we presume it could not be avoid’ ed. But the slections there are not so much dependent upon the number of voters a 8 upon the ecount.— Kendallville Standard. i

Weéll, the colored people of Georgia are not all republicans, and the Stand-ard-knows quita well why they are not. Experience taught them to look with distrust upon republican professions. Receiving kind treatment at the hands of the democrats, they have gradually wheeled into the democratic ranks, so that, as Gen. Longstreet says, from fifty 'to sixty thousand Georgia negroes now vote the democratic ticket. As fast as the npgroes learn to understand the political sitnation they change their afiliation. S

. W, HENDERSON, a near relative of, Mr. Hepdricks, was recently interviewed 'at Saratoga relative to the democratic national ticket for 1884. Mr. Hendricks stated that public sentiment in Indiana and throughout the west was very strongly in favor of the old ticket, and that if Mr. Tilden would consent:to run again for the Presidency it would hardly be necessary to hold a convention—the nomination would be tendered him with practical unanimity. It is a significant fact that Mr. Hendricks’ special friends every where strongly favor the nomination of the old ticket, and that they are not at all idle in working up‘a. “‘booin" in.that direction. Mr. Tilden’s particular friends, on the other hand, either maintain an ominous silence or declare that the sage of Gramerey will not consest to accept a re-nomina-tion, . There; may be something behind this that the uninitiated cannot divine. By und by, when the electric lights are turned on, theé situation way become more intelligible to the popular eye. L )

IN ADDITION to other absurdities, the New Era .would have its reacers believe that THE BANNER was not in favor of avenging the outrageous wrong of 1876-77 at the election in 1880. This 18 truly an astounding discovery. ' From the very moment that ‘Tilden and Hendricks were defrauded ot the offices to which they had ‘been elected, THE BANNER declared itself in favor of avenging that monstrous wrong by re-numinating and ‘re-electing these distinguished states‘men. Malcontents andJjdisorganizers in our own ranks rendered this im possible, The gallant Hancock was rominated, ar.d he being a grand char: acter and a true Damocrat, we had no hesitancy in extending to him a cordial and earnest support. The error of 1880 in not re-nominating Tilden and Hendricks, is now generally rec ognizad and ‘admitted in Democratic circles. We are sorry that Democrats generally did not view the matter in its true light in 1880, but feel none the less rejoiced that the svber second thought has returned and that public sentiment now plainly and unmistakably demands that the fraud of 1876 77 be avenged—the New Era to the contrary notwithstanding. :

IF. THE EDITOR of the Albion New Era imagines that he can annoy us by reiterating the fact that THE BANNER favored the creation of the electoral commission--upon the supposition and in the belief that those entrusted with the adjustment of that controversy would be guided by law, fuiirn‘ess and justice—he is greatly mistaken. The spirit in which such reptblican leaders as Senators Edmunds, Conkling and others advecated -arbitration, commended itself to our judgment. We preferred an amicable adjustment to anarchy and bloodshed. That Ed munds & C0.,-after professing the profoundest desire for a full and impartial investigation, should afterwards turp around and with brazen partisanship decide against accepting evidence in the premises, i 8 not to our discredit. It only shows the wanton ' disregard of justice on the part of republican leaders when political interests are at stake. The.editor of the New Era may gloat over this as much as be pleases. We hope he may derive much comfort from such amusement. It reveals his own' estimate of the trustworthiness of Republican professions —in this, that he chuckles over, the credulity of a Democrat in harboring the delusion that a Republican politician would hesitate to violate the sanctity of an oath, if upon such action depended the continuation of Republi(ﬁn Exle. ; o NOMINATING CONVENTIONS.

HOW TO AVOID DIFFICULTY IN THE FUTURE.

The Columbia City Post ré-opened the matter of adopting rules by which a uniformity of action can be brought about in' every county in the state iu the selection of delegates to state and district conventions as well ‘as for holding county conventions. We reproduce, -at the request of the Post, an article, published ‘last June, bearing upon the same subject, as follows: b

_ Inorder to guard against strife and discord in the future, in the nomination of a candidate for congress, we beg leave to recommend to the several Democratic county conventions of this district the adoption of the following rules and regulations: - §

1. That the congressional committee, consisting of the chairman of the several county committees, be authorized and required . name aday ou- which delegates to the congressional convention are to be appointed in ail the counties of the district; the object being to prevent outside interference and to guard against undue pressure throngh the action of adjoining counties that may under the old system, have held their convention at ‘an earlier day- : : ; : 2. Tlat delegates to the several district conventions be appointed by township caueuses, ‘due notice ot which shall be given at least two weeks prior to the holding thereof. : ' 3. That every delegate properly chosen shall have the unquestionable right to vote in accordance with his personal preference or in accordance with the wishes of his constituents, and that such right shall not be abridged or interfered with by the majority of the county or district delegation. L . 4. That in order to secure a just representation of the Democracy of the district and that each township may, as near as possible, be entitled to-ene delegate, the basis of representation shall be one delegate for each one hundred Democratic votes cast at the last general election. 5. That where the Democratic vote of a township does .not reach one hundred, such township shall be consolidawed with an adjoining township for the purpose 'of electing the number of delegates to which such consolidated towhship may be entitled. { :

6. The appointment of delegates, as above provided, shall be made by, and at a stated meeting of each county central committeg, and duly published in the county paper at least two weeks immediately preceding the holding of such convention. ‘The committeeman for each township shall post or cause to be posted in all parts of the township the counmty /chairman’s notice for such ‘caucus, and |designato in said notice the place where the caucus is to be held. 7. Noiastryction shall be deemed binding except when given by a clear majority of the legal Democratic voters of the township in attendance at the caucus for the appointment of such delegates. The president and secretary of such caucus to certify to'such instruction in the-creden-tials that shall in each township be given the delegate or delegates then.and there rap_pdnwd. i '

' CONGRESSMAN BLACKBURN, the Kenti:%gm who has. hereto fore stood in the way of Mr. Carlisle’s candidacy for the speakership, has wisely concluded to step aside and give his colleague a clear field. That this step is not altogether a disinterested one is' evidenced by his own declaration - that he will henceforth dlrect his efforts toward obtaining & seat in the U. 8, Senate. Mr. Carlisie is also credited with a desire to warm a senatorial cushion, but Blackburn’s opportune abandonment of ‘the speakership contest is very apt to complicate tbings in this particular, As mattérs now stand Mr., Carlisle is practically compelled to confine his aspirations to the speakership. Black buin’s withdrawal has greatly imvroved Mr. Carlisle’s chances; still he¢ 18 by no means out of the woods. San. Randall is a dangerous competitor. With anything like unison of aection, the revenue reformers can easily beat Randall and elect Carlisle. © Such a result is highly desirable, and woula probably satisfy Mr. Carlisie’s\ ambition, at least untit a suitable vpportunity presents itself for still' further promotion. ‘He ia fisted f&tr any position in the gift of the people—the Presidency uo:t erxcept,g.d. : —h— - 3

THE hide-bound partisan of the Albion‘New Era has bauled from his dusty pigeon holes an opinion from Houn. Joseph K. Edgerton, a bitter personal enemy of Mr. Tilden, that the Democrats ought not to juestion R. B. Hayes’ title to the presidency after that creature of fraud had occupied the presidential chair for a period of t.urge years. From a strictly legal point of view it might possibly be conceded that Mr. Edgerton was approximately correct, but such an acknowledgment by no means weakens the fact that R. B. Hayes was fairly and overwhelmingly :defeated for the presideuncy ; that the electoral votes uf Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina were falsified, and that Hayes was made president by the rejection of évidence and through the perfidy of Zdmunas, Bradley & Co. However bitter Mr. Edgerton’s foelings ' toward Mr. Tilden may beé, that gentlemau would never endorse the New Era's position that the stealing of the presidency is or was justifiable or defensible. We are quice certain ot that. g

The customs receipts showed an inerease for July, but a large - decrease for Al;gu,st. The decrease fortwo _months was $3,753,380, Internal revenue hasa_reduction :for two months of $6,48, and riscellaneous sources a decrehse&:gf' $2,97 ,186. On‘the other hund, the expenses of the government for the twomonthsshow an increase of $4,796.566, The increased . ga.yrpents for pensions for two months are - - 7,810,647, and the decreased payments for - interest-are $2,062,534, While tﬁe internal revenue apvears to'be falling off at the rate of $356,000,000 a rear, it is said at the offica the dgcrease will not exceed $30,000,000, - and may not exceed $25,000,000. The nat: ural increase ;?llst be allowed for, and be- - | sides this there were very heav: guréhases of tobacco stamps in May and gu e, which operate to ‘reduce the receipts for the first two or three months of this year. Manufacturers will soon be obliged t&éncrease their purchases of stamps. Thi is an- - ‘other im roztant element that has not beén taken fu ly into account in estimating the . - ‘revenue. The tax on 33,000,000 gallons of bonded spirits must be paid in the remain- - der of this fiseal year unless the spirits are’ exported. The attorney general’s opinion is'not regarded as conclusive by the whisky; - ~nfen or internal revenue oﬂ‘ifers, because it was - based on a supposititiotis case such as would . not be likely to_oecur. It deters _some from exporting, and, though others go on_sending spirits abroad, the t(a{.gpm'tation is not heavy. Unless the bonded period is extended, it Is probable that those spirits will materially increase the internal reveRmue receipts. The current manufacture of’ spirits s expdeted to yield about $50.0 0, - 009. T'he appronriations for the current “year are £63,0 0,00 less than for the past year, 'but this does not shrow what expenditures will be. 'l‘hebappropri:\ti(m for pen- | sions for the currentyear is $3,0..0 0 less ‘than for the past year, but it is evident that the expenditure in this direction wilinecessitate a defieiency bill. 3 ' : -i/ * DEBT STATEMENT. = - S .
