Republican Meetings.

nox. Tr. ir. crEn r Will speak on the political issues the day at the Court House in liamcfaer, Monday Sept. N at 7;30 P. M. ( itizeus of all parties are cordially invited to attend these meetings.

We are confronted with the Democratic party, very hungry, and, as yon may well believe, very thirsty; a party without a single ■definite principle; a party without any distinct national policy which it dare 3 present to the country; a party which fell from power as a conspiracy against human rights, and now attempts t« sneak back to power as a conspiracy for plunder and spoils— Oko. Wm, *:?W. A une 3, I«S4.

• I have just new received the atrocious libel of ihe Indianapolis Sentinel. The story is utterly and abominably false in every statement and in every implication. Political slanders I do not stop to notice, but this editor the honor of my wife and children. I desire yon without an hour’s flelay, te employ proper attorneys and have the responsible publisher of '*■**« Sentinel sued for libel in the United States v.ourtof Indiana. It is my only remedy, and l a m sure honorable Democrats, alike With honorable Republicans, will justify me in defending the hover of my family, if need be, with my life.”- Jin. Blum's Telegram, Allg. it. Although those slanderous Sentinel sneaks, at Indianapolis, have pretended that they conld prove their villainous charges against Blaine, and would only be too triad of the chance, yet on last . J uegday, after the last hour of delay they were entitled to, they came into court and tried to sustain a demurrer on purely technical grounds, Judge Wood heard the firgmnents for both sides and tpok the case under advisement.

v The public revenues are faithfully collected and honestly expended. The national debt grows less every day, and nothing now stands in the way of national prosperity and contentment except the fear of democratic free, trade madness, general in&mipetency and pure eussedness..

There is almost absolutely nothing in Cleveland’s public career to show that lie is in auyway fit for and equal to the great office of president, and “many things which show that he is not; while his private life has been such that it would be nothing less than an overlasting disgrace to the American people to knowingly make such a man president.

At the opening of the campaign the itemc.cvats declared that it, was to be moral rather than polit-i ical, a matter of men rather than of measures. They began a general and organized course of slander" against Blaine as soon as his nomination became a probability. Since some of their own party x>apers have made xmblio the loathsome character of Cleveland’s private life, they have experienced a remarkable change of heart, and are ready to take high grounds upon the question of “mud throwing” in politics, and contend that a [candidate’s private character ought not to be considered fit all in a political ennvass. It makes a mighty big difference whose ox it is that is gored. And the bitterness of all is that the story about Cleveland is absolutely true, and the evidence of it so conclusive that no one of sense pretends to deny it.

'idle democratic managed's never relax, their efforts to try to counteract Graveyard Gray’s malodorous record by the invention of new slanders about Mr. Calkins, and I’tiiey usually find active instruments for the disseminatiou of their wicked calumnies among the ranks of their dupes, the iShiei prohibitionists. Just now the great gag against the republican candidate for Governor is his alleged intemperate habits. The Chicago Interview lie, the School TimdJle _and the Westvilie poatoliice lie have all been doing hard service for some time, and will, doubtless, continue to be refierateu until the close of the campaign, notwithstanding the fact that they have all been clearly and conclusively. proven to be what they are-in all essential elements-base, malicious lies. As to the story of Mr. Calkins’ intemperate liabits we have never seen the least evidence to make it worthy of one moment’s belief, but on the other hand we are able to present, in the follow- ! ing letter to an Indianapolis minister, evidence, which, to every fair minded man, ought to be conclusive and Satisfactory, that Mr. Calkins is a man of correct morals, and is known to be such by his nearest neighbors. letter, with a few introductory remarks from the Indianapolis Journal, is as follows: A few liars have been going through the State saying that Hon. W. ft. alkins, the Republican candidate for Governor, was a man of drinking habits. We say liars; because any man who knows anything well enough to warrant him in asserting it knows that such a statement is a willful and malicious lie, while, if he does n®t know it, and still asserts it, he utters an ignorant but no less malicious lie. Among the liars circulating this report, as we are inlormed, is ah alleged •‘temperance'’ speaker whoso eccentricities of language have been alluded to heretofore. The following letter should be a complete and final answer to the slander againt Mr.. Calkins: “LaPokte, Aug. 13} 1884. “ReVi H, R. Herrick: “Dear Brother—Yours of the lj iR lust, and also a letter of the same date from Rev. R. F. Bruwington, a supernumerary member of your conference and a citizen of your pl.ice, both asking lor information concerning Hon. W?

H. Calkins, are at hand. A. “As you both seek substantially the same information, I will answer both letters in one. In Rev. Brewington's letter definite questions are propounded, and 1 will answer according to the tenor of these. ‘ls he regarded at home as a man of good moral slanding?’ Yes. ‘ “ 'TVliat are his yiews on the temperance question?' I don’t know. I never—heard him express himself. 1 saw a letter that he wrote a short time Since to Hon. Baxter, of Kiclimond, in which lie did noc differ from Mr. Baxter except, perhaps, as to methods, lwom all I know of him, I j&dgo that to be correct. “ ‘\\ hat are his personal Habits as to* drinking ?' I judge ho is in the habifc of drinking a good deal, but Ido not think he drinks anything stronger than Water or coffee. He is strictly temperate as far as I know or have ever heard. His bitterest enemies have never charged, him with intemperate liahils,. or even tippling. 1 think his record is clean on that score. " ‘l* lie a member of the M. E. Church?’ Yes ;he is a member of the charge of which I have been pastor for nearly three years . He has been here but little, however, since my connection with the charg'e, and i have had but little opportunity to know him as a religious man. Indeed, Ido not knew that he is a religious man, or that lie Would claim to ac’.er. Anything to. the contrary you may set down as a., campaign h;v either willfully or iguoranfly put forth. “\V hat iiis attitude toward prohibition is Ido not know He is. peril*os, too .much qf a 'politician to define his position. 1 rshouid be very much disappointed if, as Governor, he should veto any judicious temperance legislation. I think, the temperance interests of the State will be safe in his hands if he should be elected Governor. I have no objection to your making any use of this letter you may think proper . Biease show this to Bio. llrewiiigton. “Yours, fraternally, “C. A. Brooke. “Pastor M. K. Church, Laßorte, feffi”

Chicago Nov/". (CicveirtTrd ()f course there is considerable bitter if Ik against Hendricks a aioug Indiana democrats,, but wo do not apprehend that all this bitterness will amount to V anything on election day ; it is one of the characteristics of the democratic party to growl and howl, and threaten and kick, and then finally to vote the democratic ticket as meekly and sub- . ... . ■■■dibL, ~ missiycly as sucking doves. Yet there is good ground for complaint against Hendricks; among any other class than hide-both:d democrats it would have proved efleclive long ago. This man has stood for a quarter of a century in the way.of progress in Indiana. 110 lias delighted not only in murdering off the young and ambitious, but also in assassinating the old and re vered statesmen with whom ho has been thrownbn contact. His treatment of Joseph E. McDonald is unparalleled in the records of perfidy. Hendricks is by nature a snake. During the season of his country's peril ho was a seU-conlessod copperhead, emitting his poisonous slime and deadly- venom upon every patriot and against every measure looking toward the preservation of llio ■ mridn mid' thw ’Ytteunar honor. His record since 18(>o lias been the record of a treacherous, cold-blooded viper. A snake .during his country's danger, he oould not help being a snake when peace was restored to the nation ho sought to destroy. Ilis miserable perfidy is known everywhere, yet we doubt Very much whether it mil be condemned in Indiana by those who have suffered most by it, for the democrats of Indiana seem to Lave been educated to believe that hypocriey is smartness and personal perfidy a species of political sagacity.
