Hon. Johu M. Butler, of Indianapolis, , speaks at Rensselaer next Tuesday evening. Ohio will come next with a majority of 25.000 or 30.000, and the demoralization of the boastful Democracy will be complete. 1 The, mourning band on the Cleveland hats will do to wear on their owner’s left arms, in Novcmi ber. I The time has not vet come when that Ancient Incubus, the Democratic party, shall be allowed to ! sit on the neck of American BrosI perity. \

" e convey Ben. Butler's compliments to Thomas A. Hendricks and at the same time call our readers’ attention do the article, on one of our inside pagjgL headed “Blackguard and Slanderer.’’ L The final count in Maine gives the Republicans a majority of almost 20.000, the largest the state eyer gaie at a September election. It was a splendid Victory, and the sure precursor of a still more| splendid triumph in November. “Col.” Graveyard Gray has been going around the country falsely asserting that Mr. Blaine Mas once £ Know-netliing. and positive Iprpofs have just been made public showing that Gray himself was occc at the head of a Know-nothing lodge at AladisonrOhio. - Another splendid political sd.p- - plement accompanies this issue of The Republican. It contains a characteristic vpeech by ottr able and brilliant J'oung candidate for ; Governor, W. H. Calkins; and rm-1 Other by that staunch and old i time Republican AV. R. Holloway. I Read them both. I The time is not very far buck when Mr. Hendricks spoke of ' Carl Schurz as the “Lying Dutchj man”. The same Lyiit* Dutch- ! man is now doing all he can to bdp secure votes for the same Hendricks, \ erily disappointed political ambition makes strenge bedfellows.

Commenting on the phrase “obnoxious duty” as applied to the hanging men the Ne.v Yolk Sun says: “Obnoxious! Not at all. He liked it. 11 gave him an opportunity of saving a few more dollars. Besides, it was not his sworn duty, He did' it from 'choice. Money is a great thing with a mean man." “I FURTHERMORE promise and declare that I will not vote for nor give my influence for any man for any office in the gilt of the people unless he u an American - bon* citizen, in favor of Americanborn citizens ruling America, nor if he be a Roman Catholic.” Oath taken by Isaac P, Gray, Democratic candidate for Governor of Indian i. ‘ . The dfidianapolis Journal presents Somb good grounds, for believing that Mr. Hendricks, was connected with the circulation of the Alarm Halpin story against (. levelnnd, with the hope'oh course, that, if Cleveland were' forced off the track, Hendricks himself would be given the first place on the democratic ticket. It would be an act quite in keeping with Hendricks’ political character. Mr. Carl Schurz, not long since, in speaking [of his experience in 1572, said in a public speech: “On*j' once have 1 slept in a side rdom of the Dempcratjc party, and there I have heard enough not to vote a Democi atic ticket again in my life. Yes, my hand shall wither before, I do so again." Mr. Schurz is bunking in the same apartment now,’but we presume it is his eoiiHeieuce that is withered, rather than . hi® hand, ihit he will experience a general drying up, after November.

The i United States District CoiirL ftt Indianapolis, has, very properly, decided that it will not compel Mr. Blaine to answer the filthy and villainous interrogatOtiejr*filed by i the Indianapolis Sentinel.-in its answer to the complaint for libel. j\|r. Blaine’s, attorvi■». •• state, however, that he wili answer them voluntarily in a short time, and this fact should not be lost sight of by the people. And Mr. Blaine will answer the interrogatories in a manner co cover these vile slanderers of women, and ruffian violators of tombstones and sacred memories with confusion arid dismay. Tl>e questions themselves are a confession that the Sent:ncl had no proof in Hieir possession of tire wicked caluminieS Avittrwtuch they have assalled the wife and family of Mr. Blaine, and they were filed by theeowardly wretches for the purpose of doing all the harm they could to Mr. Blaine, from the safe vantage ground of their position a* defendants ..in., a libel -suit. But rheh■ imdice .will re-act upon t-hemsMves.
