K* OitmiM Who.

Mb. Bi.ainz is a candidate, and the Harrison movement is In Ida interest. The Gresham movement, on the contrary, is anli-Blainc lu it• origin and purposes. The I<ogan element, In Illinois, i« warmly enlisted in it, and “isdestioed to rally all the elements averse to a repetition of the contest of 1884.” After the favorite sons are out of the way at Chicago, the contest will probably narrow down to Ulatiie and Gresham. If the former is nominated, Harrison will be named for the viee-presideitcy. If Gresham Is nominated, the ticket will be completed with some New York or JTew England man— Hawley, perhaps, or Iliscock. Certainly the situation has been grcatlv simplified (luring toe past few days. The leading candidates are now unquestionably lilaine and Gresham. It may be that the former Is only to be used as a stalking horse in Dejiew 's interest, in which event the choice is almost certain to lie between Depew and Gresham on the deciding ballot. The former will be supported by the corporation influences which have always sustained Blaine; the latter by all the elements in the party which, for whatever reason, are hostile to lilnine. The chances are that Blame, or his candidate, will wiu the price, lor corporation influences arc, as they have been for the past twenty years, all powerful in the Republican parly. But it matters little whom the Republicans nominate. The people who know their best interests will not elect any man who favors a continuation of the “outrageous" taxes, and there are enough sufficiently informed, we think. Plain Talk to France. Concerning the enforced military duty required by France of naturalized Ameuieau citizens. Secretary Bayard has Instructed Minister McLano to inform M. Flourens that the Government of the United States holds that the decree of naturalization | granted by it to a French citizen is (not open to impeachment by the i French Goveriimet, either in its executive or its judicial branch, and that it it is alleged to have been iraprovidently issued, the reinedy^is by application to the Department of State. You will further sav, writes the Secretary, that if the subjection to i forced military servico ol the citizens 1 wh >sc cases you report Is bassed upon iau assumption that they are not cit- ‘ izcnsof the UnitedStatcVhlsIXipart- ; incut asks for their immediate release, ; and for a proper compensation tor | the losses which they have recleved } by such detention. It eonnot be admitted that American citizens not ! charged with any crime .should lie detained under arrest for even a single day after their proofs of citizenship have been presented. In cases like this the United States can never adj init the propriety of submitting to I the ordinary delays of judicial ae- ! tion. It seems that Bvard is unde of [Jackson stuff. This is. right: Lot the world know America's exalterod [Kisitiou among the ualious of the iearth. I Wr. no not suppose that Gen. lien. ! ilarrisou or Col. John C. New will be able to appreciate all the humor of the [ political sitnatlou, as relates to the Harrison and Gresham booms, but there i« any amount of fun in it for : disinterested observers. Only a few dav s ago it was awtouccd, with a Ire-, inendous flourish of trumj>ets, that Harrison had succeeded in securing a solid delegation from his state, j Thla seemed to rule the G radiant J boom off (fee thick, and the general I public sttp|K>»ed that such was really : t ho ease. But it was not so bv any ' manner of means, and the Gresham • Iioom is stronger and healthier tojdav titan it was before the Harrison ) machine raked in the delegates. It i is stronger, in fact, than the Harrison lioom.aiid it owes lunch of Its strength to the redundant zeal of Gen. Harrison’* injudicious and over-zealous friends. _ _

For llic of onr esteemed contemporary, the Terre Haute Gazette, ne will say that The Sentinel knew what it was talking al>o«t wnen it asserted that John James Ingalls is the tool of Jay Gould, ami that he it kept iu the l*. 8. Senate to Jo ItOuhF* dirty work. The editor of the Sentinel has some little kuowlj edge ut Kansas politics, and he also has some knowledge, from pcr->»uif observation at Washington, of the part Ingalls regularly plays in the U. 8- <*cuate. The Sentinel,measured its i words carefully when it referred to j lugalls as tool of Jav Gould, and it ; has the best of reasons for believing ! his bloody shirt crusade is only one step in a programme of political agitation devised in the interest of Gould, and other public,cuemies who raako common cause with him.—J*entiM. Clkvkland vetoes private pension hills as rapidly as they come before hint.—Huetingburg Argus. Every intelligent man and woman ; in all this fair land knows the above is a lie, made of whole cloth, all wool and a yard wide, and We can prove it to bo such. Shame be on it poor nin- | eomj>oop o( an editor who can find no (better argument that! the wily can- | uing which is the creation of devils | and the loyal imps of bell. It mat, perhaps, be worty of pass- ! iug notice that the name of Blaine 1 was not mentioned in the Illinois liepublican convention,thc first coaveu1 tion to slight the magnetic James that hat yet been held. By the way, just keep your eye on Illinois, for the prettiest and closest struggle of the campaign will be in that State. If “free trade ruined" England there are $3,000,000,000 ot bank de- | posits Idly awaiting investment,while #1.000,000,000 a year are sent over to America to buy the securities that the capitalists of this highly protected; emu try cannot afford to carry. |

- Oh. Mi R. Gordon Dead. | The l!Ion. John R. Gordon, of 1 Greaucaatle, chairman of the Doum'cratic State Central Committee, sno- * eessor olf lion. R. I*. Richardson, of j this plate, died at »ioon,Ma> 9th. lie j had been eomplalidug a few daysfteI fore the slate oon-rciition, and while | at Iudianapolis Wednesday and Thursday of that weok. was not feeiinjc at al l well. He went home Thursday evening of the 26th of April, and on Friday morning went to his office and was seized with a chill, lie was ! hopeful, and expected to be out in a j few days, llis disease was typhoid j pneumonia. Thus. Indiana loses a j noble cit izen, and one of the eleauest | and | or cat «f politician*. A brilliant I career unquestionable awaited Mr. | Gordon, had Ids life been prolonged. His three terms in the Legislature were ma rked by rare Industry, tin(lagging devotion to Democratic principles, ami strict fidelity to.the ptibI lie inletesl*. He was one of the I Democratic leaders in that body durI ing Ids entire service, and his readi- | ness in debate, his skill as a parliaj meutariun and his aptitude for publiic | aifairs won him general recognition j as one or the coining men oKludiaun. j He was Col. Maison’s chief lieutenant in the latter's brilliant and successful canvass for ilie gubernatorial nomination, mid it was largely to his eon- - Minimalc skill as an organizer tliut j the colonel's humdsomc triumph was : due. Mr. Gordon entered into the ! contest in behalf* of his tiiend with i characteristic zeal and earnestness, | and in his death the gallant standardI bearer of the Democracy sustains a [deep personal bereavement.

Public Debt Redaction. The reduction in the Ptihlic debt durang April amounted to$9.23.'>,:t00, and silica .luue 3U, or Tor the ten month* of the current fiscal year, $97,- | 793,881. The net cash in the treasury to-<lay is; *110.2-14, 9G9, or *5,671.039 more thiiu on April I. The gold fund | balance iin the treasury ha* decreased about five and one-half millions dur- ! mg the past month, and to-day amounts to I2KI.239.SKU. while the silver fund* balance to-day, exclusive of |G.61il,000 trade dollar* bullion, is $43,013,381, or about otie million and a quarter more than on April 1, a month ajfo. National hank depositors at present hold $01,921,294. of stood money, or about three-quarters •ifa million more than a month ngo'. Government receipts during April • aggregated $29,841,789. nbout oneI quarter of a million less than in April hast vear/white expenditures went ; *24,860.8lb. or four and one-half milI lions lens than in April.1887.

Unshrinkingly he passed beyond our horizon, beyond the twilight-purpled hills, beyond the utmost reach of human harm or help, to that vast realm of si lend j or of joy whete the ittita^ mer.tble dwell, and lie has Iclt with us his wealth of thought and deed, the memory ot a brave, iuiperlotts. honest man, who Imwrd alone to de.a&h. At >o time iiu it* history has the Republi can party been so aimless, useless, and u uccl a in. They are going iuto a National Convention without the least idea who will be the standard barer. They know they cannot be succesful unless they can have a candidate stronger than all I lie party beside hint, and when’thc time comes for the disenssiou*, when the campaign is fairly on,yon need not besnrprisvd if you bear nothing* from the g. o. p, but a bloody shirt howl, and ficzle-ou t, not a living issue touched.

Ofi course lie docs, amt he has agoodreason for it; he finds that he has been robbed by this liepubllcau robber tax j aud has no use for the party which < reduced him to poverty. Why so many poor iu ;r are Democrats is cast- i iy amt well understood :*and why the rich taouev kiu* of Xcw England is j a ttepuhiicaii is also easily aud well i understood. Some have asked us to cease pub-1 I‘suing Talmage's sermons. Others] have said thev wouM not want the' pajier it' we should leave off those ser-! ntous. We do not ask our readers to: believe all that Talmage preaches, but j when Xalutage tells an Muinortalj truth, ili will hurt »o one, and its ac- j ceptauee will be of lasting benefit. ] If he tell ought but truth, it may be j considered au error, and not at all iu-; teutioiuil.

THE PRESS gqClMtt. Its False Face Is Easily DlMSrered.

Congress has done more dlladallylng than sbnuUt characterize a crossroads convention). •Jhmoeral Exactly. It was ever thus with Democratic officials.—Press. Will It be necessary far us to explain to you, too, what Congress consists of? Do you know that tho Republican Senate Is causing nine tenths of this same “dtladallyingr’ —Democrat. 'No, we do not know that the Republican Senate is causing nine tenths of the “dilndallying" or even ono tenth, neither do you, but we do know that the Democratic House Is the guilty one uud so do yon. Democratic members of the House “Mibustered” for eight days aud uights to preveat a vote on the return to the Status of the direct tax because the rebel’s of the South opposed the me asure for the reason that their States had refused to comply with the request of the Government in this respect.—Tress. Denial am! naked assertion seems to be the stock of argument, not only of the Press, but of tho entire newapajrer force that are opposed to the administration. We will let the readers of the above sparring squibs know the truth in its reasonable and also in its just light. The only tiling the Press offers for the “filibuster” ou the part of Democrats U one falsely attached to n “bloody shirt yell,” the advise from Republican headquarters to all the dupes who are following in tho wake of men who favor high tax for the reason that such keeps them in office;—such, aud only such, for they have no issue with which to go before the people. This is the cry tin der which the Republican Senate tries to hide its attempt io favor Hie rich as against the poor. This is the kind of legislation the Republican Senate are continually doitfg; and when it is possible, they hide their motives by some “Woolly shirt” or “Kansas Jayhawker” scheme, hoodwinking at every possible step the poor man whose vote is auxiousiv sought. Lot us sec liovv much reason tire re is hi: this “bloody shirt” falsehood. The Democrats opposed this return of the direct tax, and why? First, because the object the Republicans had was to dispense with the dii’ect tax ol which tho man owning $10,000.00 paid twice as much as the muu owing only $5,000.01), and to increase the indirect tax On all that the poor man or cats or warms himself by. direct tax wears Tho rich man pays a direct tax as well.as the poor man and the laborer, and when this direct tax g<re» back, lire rich nun is the most largely favored. Such a scheme on tire part of tire Republican Senate was oueof their nice and hoodwinking discriminations between tire man who has two dollars and tire man who lias only one. always favoring, as they ever do, lire man who hasthc two dollars instead of one. In the second place, lire Democrats are doing their best for lax reform, a thing which the Repulieans promised for more than fifteen years and which Urey have never lost an opportunity to make still mSore grevious and “monstrous.” Tho Democrats arc opposed to any measure that favors the classes as against the masses, are opposed to laws that make mUlionairsand tramps,a.thing the Republicans hare ever favored, and which yon cannot disprove by any argument bearing the label of truth. Tire liolv idea of Democracy is relieving the people, as far as expedient aud beneficial to the whole nation and its every interest, from that thieving tax which has made the poor stili poorer and the rich still richer, and has bred a scourging class of parsimonious millionaires and slothful tramps. Ix speak!so of Cleveland’s consciousness in doing hi* duty at all times, the Vincennes Nows truthfully Ml a: “The president’s veto of the bill for tire relief of the army paymaster who went off to eat pie, and leaving unguarded the government money in his charge, allowed it to Ire stolen. Is a characteristic document full of tire Cleveland simplicity, candor and honesty. Mr. Cleveland Is right, savs the St. Louis Republican, in not considering such matters too small for discussion by the president of the United States. Contempt of small things had brought the government service to a dangerous condition. It had weakened the sense of duty servants of the people in appointive and elective office* ought to feel in every official action, small or great. There is no detail of carelessness or of attempted fraud that Mr. Cleveland thinks too small for the attention of a president sworn to uphold the constitution and the laws made in accordance with it. When such questions present themselves to him he presents them to “the plain, common people” iu forming hi* conclusion, aud presents them in such a way that they can not be misunderstood except by partisans determined to misinterpret them. He conceals i»o fact that has come to hi* knowledge. The care he takes to state every fact bearing ou given cases gives his vetoes and other state paper* a strength of worth of their own nowhere equalled in the s’ate papers of his predecessor*. No president before him relied so little on rhetoric: not oue of them ever relied so much on a plain statement of plain facts.” .a
