o - ILEL Qe SO The Ligonier. B anner T J.B.STOLL, Editor. _ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1883 e ———— SENATOR VOORHEES will deliverseveral speeches in favor of Judge Hoadly. His first speech is to be delivered at Bucyrus. It will doubtless be an eloquent effort. !

THE POLITICAL PREACHERS are hard at work in lowa denouncing the democratic party and advocating prohibition. Some of their utterances are wholly blinded by fanatical zeal for an impractical cause. ;

. THE RECENT SPEECHES of Gov. Heidricks and'Joseph E. McDonald have caused considerable discussion in lowa Both gentlemen spoke with extraordinary force, and must have. made a deep impression. They are intellectual giants and never indulge in buncombe.

DuriNG the past sixteen years twen-ty-six hundred and fourty-four (2644) naturalization papers were issued by/ the clerk of the Bt. Joseph county circuit court at South Bend. Of these, 1360° were issued by the present clerk, Prof. T. E. Howard, during a period of a few months less than four years,

THE UTMOST CONTEMPT is expressed for Charley Fostér among all men who want to see some decency maintained in political contests. His mean and villainous aspersions upon the Ilon George Hoadly are freely denounced by prominent Republicans of Ohio and elsewhere. Charley Foster will leave the gubernatorial chair as a disgraced politician, : :

S P e y SIX MONTIS ago there were numer ous forebodings of an impending panic The favorable crop reports from all “parts of the country have worked » wond’rous change. The metropolitar papers now speak in glowing terms ot the very favorable prospects for afn exceedingly prosperous fall trade. The sales of dry goods in the eastern markets have been simply immense.

Gov. J. ProocTor KNOTT indicated in his inaugural address that he dic pot intend to be jas liberal in the exercise of the pardoning power as huc been the case under hisimmediate predecessor; Gov. Blackburn. The latte: is one of those generous sort of me: that cannot easily resist the appeals o 1 a sobbing mother, sister or daughter. But generosity that leads to the turning lose of a set of criminals is not di rected in the right channel. JAY GouLD pretends to be very de cidedly opposed to a government tele graph system. Weare inclined to think that Gould means what he says —wit! this modification: That he is opposet to the government ownihg and operat ing telegraph lines unless it purchaser the Western Union in its present wa tered condition; that is to say, pay Gould eighty millions of dollars foi what cost him and his crowd abou: twenty millions. "A proft of sixty m:l--'lions in a single transaction' woul: doubtless be sufficient to convert the great railroad speculator to the belief that a government telegraph would not be a bad thing after all.

THE INDECENT MANNER in which .Charley Foster has utilized his forces to defame Judge Hoadly is having the effect ot arousing the friends and ad vocates of decéncy in politics to a gense of their duty. Knowing Judge Hoadly to be a man of spotless integ rity, the better class of citizens of all parties teel indignant that he Qhould be subjected to the shameless abuse that has been heaped upon him by the tools of the unprincipled politician and unscrupulous trickstér who, in an evil moment, was elevated to the Goyernorship 6f Ohio. Unless this infamous treatmen of an eminent and pure citizen be rebuked af the ballot-box, it wili not be'long until men of Judge Hoadly’s high character will positively refuse to aspire to any position that will necessarily subject' them to the same villification. The effect of this would be extremely hurtful to political mo-' rality. Only those who,care not whalt may be said of them would be willing to run for office; hence the Foster and

Butler school of politicians would soon have a complete monopoly of the field =9f politics. i

IT WILL BE REMEMBERED that with-

in a few days after the nomination o: Washington C. DePauw for Lieutenant Governor, in 1872, Jonathan W. Gor‘don, ‘a professional republican stumjy speaker at Indianapolis, delivered ipublic speech wherein he took occasion

to attack the private and commercia:

‘chdracter of Mr, DePauw in unmeasured terms. Mr. DePauw has been em inently successful In his. business euterprises; and has donated thousand: of dollars to educational and benevo. lent purposes. His purity of character was and is above suspicion. Yet Jonathan W. Gordon did not hesitate to make a vicious attack upon this gooo ‘4nd generous man, simply: because 4 democratic convention had seen fit tc assign him to the second place on its

State. ticket. Though Mr DePauw never sa_itt 80, we yet firmly beligv:

that the apprehension of having his niotives impugned and his conduct mis représented, prompted him to decline the nomination tendered him by his

democratie- fellow-citizens. We refer to this circumstance at this time be cause a similar courss has been pursued toward Judge Hoadly in Ohio. Like Mr. DePauw, Judge Hoadly has been emingntly successful in his chosen profession, and has contributed with a generous hand to the needs and wants

of 'his fellow-men, His character and repufation remained unassailed until he became, the candidate of a great party for the higliest offiee within the gift of the people of Ohio. All 'at once his good deeds. were forgotten and h“:m \ ﬁe%m be blackered by ‘:i%ﬁﬁoﬁw unserupulous press.. Judge Hoadly will not be driyen from the field of contest by these outrageous assaults upon his

character; but we venture the assertion that if the exact truth could be ascertained it would be found that his

illness and prostration are not wholly

disconnected from the coarse and bru- / tal treatment t 0 which he bas beep subjected by the satellites of Charley . Foster. How,long will the people tol- . erate such injustice? S

JouN R. MCLEAN, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who is directly responsible for the disturbance within the ranks, £ the Ohio Democracy, is possessed™ the strange infatuation that politica bosses are as much a necessity in thy democratic as in the republicé‘partj,‘? and that he, as the proprietor of a lucrative newspaper establishment, ovght to be recognized as the. boss qt, all the democratic bosses. It is quite evident that young McLean has' the

utmost contempt for'the reform pur poses of the democratic party, and that the ouly interest he has in democratic ascendancy is. -to shift-bossism onto democratic: shoulders. To thove who are anxiously awaiting therestoration of democratic supremacy this sordid view of political aims and objects is exceedingly repulsive and de grading. They look for something of

an ennubling charac er—for the inaug uration of measures of reform whereever abuses have crept into the public service. If the outcome of a great contest were to simply signify a shift ing of odious methods from one party to another,: thousands of Democrats would manifest supreme indiﬁerénce as to the result. In point of fact they would prefer to see these odious meth ods continued under republican auspices than re-introduced by so-called Democrats. A change of political power must imply 'a change for the better, else such change would be the most barren ideality imaginable.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? The Goshen 7'imes is edited by a former resident (a native) of Pennsyl vania, Dr. Beyerle. Itis reasonable to Issume that he'is still a reader of Pennsylvania papers,and that he keeps himself posted with reference to public affairs of that commonwealth, We: know&im tobe an intense partisan, yet in the'main we are disposed to regard him a fair-minded man. Like most republican editors, he regards it a duty ro say as many harmful things of the Democrats as circumstances would seem to warrant; bu with all that we ~re loth to believe that he would In«entionally do an injustice to an appo | ient, Hence it is that we attribute he following paragraph from "his edriorial colnmuos of last week wore to misconception of the real situation ~nan to a deliberate purpose to, mis veresent thedemocratie branch of the Pennsylvania Legislature: - “ I'he great Democratic Reform' Leg‘siature of Pennsylvania has cost, in '8 extra session, to the people of the otate, $250,000, and the end is not yet” ' The uvinformed . would naturally nfer; from the above that the Gent r-ral ‘Assembly of the old Keystone State is a democratic body. This, however, is not the case, and the ediror of the 7imes cught to be fair and candid enough to tell the whole truth in the premises. ' While the lower ouse is democratic by a clear majoriy, the Senate is strongly and decidgdv republican.© So mpuch by way of explanation. . '

. Now,as to the responsibility for the xpense of the protracted special sesston. Who is to blame? Since the T'vines seeks to ‘make pojitical capital ut of this matter, it is meet that a tair and explicit statement of the facts ne presented, that the people heretbouts may know exactly where the nlame for this large expenditure of money belongs. Luckily we have before us a full* and pdmprehensive statement of the points in controyersy, a perusal of which is respectfully comwmended to our Goshen contemporary : “It is the trick of the republican politicians,” says the Harrisburg Pa triot,“to blame the soecial session of the Legislature upon the Democrats and to howl incessantly "about the cost to the dear people; But in their fforts to make capital in this way they are obliged to address themselves jolely to the igngrant, for no well in—formed person can be impressed for a single moment by so false and shameless an imposture. . :

“Why was the special gession call d vy the Governor? [Let the republican volitician who undertakes to say that the Democrats are respousible be required to answer this question. He cannot answer it with any regard for sruth without inceriminating and conJemning his own party. n . “The constitution of Pensylvania requires that the Legislature shall apportion the State’into senatorial and representative districts immediately sfter the taking of each deecennigl census. * The first Legislature that assemvled after the taking of the last decennial census was that of 1881 and was republican 1n both branches. It failed to apportion the State. “In the present Legislature the senite'is republican, the house democratic. The house passed apportionment vills more than ¢two months before the rdjournment of. the regaiar session, ut the senateheld them in committee and delayed action upon them unil the time for final adjournmenc was «nd then refused to agree to any bills except to the iniqu.tous partisan propo* sitions which -it substituted for the measures passed by the house. : - “It is plain, therefore, that if the re publican Legislature of 1881 had done ts duty, or if ‘the Bepublicans in the present, Legislature had nop deliberateIy obstructed the passage of apportioniment bills until after the.'two houses tixed the day for final adjournment, uo occasion_for a special session could have arisen. ! :

“The Governor simply obeyed his oath to support the constitution in calling the- Legislature together in special sesgion. He found that the mandate of thé fundamental law had been disregarded by the Legislatyre of 1881, and by the present body as well.. He believed, too, that this contempt’ for the cdnstitution worked gross in‘justice to the people of the commorwealth who#e right to equal represent ation in the Legislature and in Con. gress was denied. The negligence of the Legislature, induced by the ‘conduct of the republican politicians, compelled him in pursuance of hisg sworn duty, to eall the special session. »Where thén is the democratic responsibility? Where the opportunity ‘ of the republican party fo use thé special session as an argument with intelligent and candid men against zhoii democratic party? The boot is on the other leg. "The responsibility is with the Bepublicans, The argument is against the republican party which refused to apportion the State in 1881 avd which prevented apportionment at the regular session of the present! Legislature. - But, it is said, as the two houses cannot agree the Demo-:

’crats should consent to adjournment, for if they do nout they will te charged with jprolongiog, the useless .session at a expen efﬁ the people. This might b trueif the Demm;l wer‘l'?: prolonging thésession for any other. ‘reason than that they regard themselves as bound by their oaths to make an apportionment. 'B_ut the Republicans are ¢ompelling a prolongation of the session by refusing to legislate. . They'are resolved that o ap:

portionment shall be made unless it shall be a virtual re-enactment of the present gerrymander. Who then is responsible for the prolongation of the special’ session? - Certainly not the Democrats of ‘the house who have made and are still making every effort to legislate, who have abandoned their own bills in the house and passed bills offered by Republicans, who have pro-

pused conference with the senate, arbitration, submission to popular vote and are still simply waiting for ths senate to do something to enforce the constitutional mandate and to restore to thie people their lost right of equal representation, : : “The republican bosses are responsi ble and the republican bosses must go.”

THINGS THAT ARE NOT LOUDLY " CLAIMED AS DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE. .

Perhaps some of our demoeratic co temporaries can answer.” The Nation al Republican says: * Willsome Demveratic editor please inform the country wbatémeasure-‘of policy has been. originated and carried out by the Republican party which is not now loudly proclaimed as Democratic doctrine ? Also, whether any such measure can be named which the Democracy did not declare uunconstitutional and sure to ruin tbe country ? ”— Albioh New Era.

~ Though intended as a *“stunner,” THE BANNER has no hesitancy in tackling the E7a’s conundrum. ) Life being rather short, we cap not be expected to enumerate all the “measures of policy” originated by the Republicans and which are not “now loudly proclaimed as democratic doctrine.” - A few of them will sdffice to take the wind out of ‘the Era's stunnen. >

1. 'The Democrats never proclaimed as “democratic doctrine” the infamous reconstruction meagures by which the South was plundered of millions of dollars, State governments turned vyer to the vilest scamps vho ever disgraced official positions, “congressional seats filled with rascals who sold their votes and bartered away cadetships, and by and through which measure the ballotvux was pollutd and the public service gadly debauched. :

2. The Democracy never “proclaimed as democratic doetrine” the flagrant, fraudulent and outrageoug manner in which the fifteenth amethment was incorporated into the federal eonstitution, .

3. The Democracy never claimed as tiheir own the demonetization of silver.

4. The Democracy at no no time countenanced or endorsed the Santo Domingo scheme of the republican party. 4

5. IThe Democracy utterly repudiates the assumption of the republican party that it owns the country and can do pretty much as it pleases, regardless of law or constitution. And it es pecially repudiates and denounces the infamous perversion of the ballot in 1876, by which Tilden and Hendricks were deprived of the offices to which the people had elected them by owverwhelming majorities, " 6. The democratic party never endorsed the wholesale corruption and bribery by means of which the electtion of Garfield and Arthur was rendered possible in 1880. ; g 7. The high protective policy of the republican party which has, during a comparatively short period, resulted in the creation of hundreds of million aires on the one hand and of thousands of paupers on the other, is not and never will be countenanced or endorsed by the democratic party. 8. Thecentralizing tendercies of the republican party and its studied efforts to create a monied aristocracy have at no time been applauded or approved by the democratic party. :

9. The democratic party explicitly rejects the republican party's efforts to curtail the reserved rights of the States or to abridge the inherent rights of private citizens. ' : 10. The democratic party, in short, sees precioas little in republican methods, professions or aims that is worthy of emulation. But it firmly and relig iously believes thilt.io is high time for the repyblican party to go.

How Others Yiew Sam Alvord's

Treachery.

" *QObserver,” in last week’s BANNER, ‘goes for County Clerk Alvord with a whereas. We have long been of the opinion that Mr. Allvord has entirely forgotten his friends or the party that elected bim. He goes outside of his party newspapers to bestow his patronage. We can’t hardly see how he can sicep 'wall over it.— Kendallville News

It is the imisfortyne of the democratic party that it too often places men of the Alvord composition in of: fice. They care for neither party or friends. It is themselves and their interests only they are serving, and whatever they do in the way of political work is done with a selfish motive. In or out of office they look after themselves all the time, and as soon as they accomplish their purpose their friends and their pagty haye no longer attractions for them. If they makeanysac~ rifices it is their friends and their party. Mr. Alvord is not the only one thdt ‘we know thal answers to this description. A man' who will give the cold shoulder to his friends after he is elected to office, and shows preference to the opposition, cannot expect to retain his influence with the former to any great egtenf.— Warsaw Union, -

_ | SAM.ALVORD’S TREACHERY. ‘ Eprr Iﬂym BANNER—In my communicatidn published in your paDer of A ﬂu%’ﬁ, I saw proper to. oo%m upon the ingratitude of now. ex County Clerk Alvord It secems ‘that the b?i?giﬁ'xﬁm been consummated, and for Esau’s price, one that friends had gone low into the gutter to lift np, has sold his master and betrayed those who gave bim a chavce to win a sustenance and an opportunity to make a man of himself. |How a man, 80 trusted and elevated by friends, eould become such an ingrate’ 18 beyond: our comprehension. Mr. Alvord, in his eard published in the New Era coutradicting the report that he intended to resign, says heintends visitiug New York and immediately return to resume his duties ip the . flice and give personal atiention to the wants of the people. Wuy, sirs, that card deceived no oue. It was a very thin subterfuge for a little more time in which to perfect the scheme for the disposal of his fortress to the enemy. It was a ‘wellkpown fact that the prelimiuaries for the sale had all been arranged weck. b-fore he took his visit to the east, and would bhave been completed had it not been known that the Board ot County Commissioners, as then constituted, could not be made a party tv the nefarious scheme. Strange as the | above fucts may seem to the upinitia ted, there is nothing startling in it to those who huve watched the course of the arch-traitor since the beginning ot his last term. He has given all the patronage of the office;to those who were savage in their. opposition to his election as well as in denunciation of the democratic party aud has uow turned over the office that was given to him by Democrats to 8 man and interests that have always been against the parly that gave him hie bread and (¢ which he claimed. to belong Is it possible .that there could not have been found within the ranks of the democratic party men fully qualified to have filled the position which was to be made vacant by his resignation ? Is it possible that a man can become 80, lost to all sense of houor as to.thus thrust aside the party that picked him out of the gutter and sell its patrimony to the einemy? Well may the K-undallville News ¢xclaim, “ How can 4 man sieep” after committing such treachery ? OBSERVER.

Consequently, only one-fitth ot the grain sown produce mature plants; these plants produce less than one-fifih of the proper number of stems by tillering, and these produce imperfect heads.

The eleventh annual Inter-State Exposition, of Chicago, 1883, will opeu September 5 and close October 20. As usual, all railroad and steamboat transportation lines will put ther rates to Chicago and retyrn on hard-pan basis, selling coupon tickets to the Exposition. On many of the lines, gentlemsn, familiar with the business, are making arrangements to run general Excursions which have heretofore been profitable to those managing them. and cheapened the cost of transportation tothe excursionists. As to the Exposition jtself, we are assured that extraordinary efforts and very large expenses have been made by the managers to render it in all important department the most instructive, and far the most attractive, display, of its class in America.

THE CENSUS BUREAU

_lt.is gewerally understood that an effort will be made to have the census burean made a permanent institution. The manner .in which the census reports for 1580 have dragged along would seem to Justiaff d ;suspicion that such a law would be aimost unnecessary, for it wiit be at least another year before tlie reports will appear, although the compositors of the govern‘ment printing office are working extra hours every day,determined that the blame for delay shall not rest upon: the puhli:j printer’s force if a little extra, exertio; shall suftice. It is urged in favor of the: scheme to make the “bureau a permanent one that with very little annual ::&mse a corps of experts could be mJintai whose experience would be valuable when organ--izing a force ffor taking a new cemsns. ?llxle cost of another such umfertakir!;%as that of 1880 would be very greatly uced, and niuch. time would be saved in getting out the report, The bureau would be of service to fthe different state governiments, some of which take a census every five years. Data and g&*xltxral instructions, given S 0 as to seeure a nhiformity of the work in the different states; would facilitate the taking of: the regular decpnnial census by the general governiient. . ’
