Blaine did not vote or the prohibition question, and the agony of the democrats, thereat, knows no limits. But he did make a public and logical explanation of his reasons for not voting on that question. They forget that both Cleveland and Hendricks were afraid to mention the tariff qiiestion in their letters o| acceptance, and the tariff is a great issue of the campaign while prohibition is not.

' No paper in the country opposes Blaine more bitterly than the NewAk’ork Times, but in speaking of his recent letter in regard to his domestic relations, and the cruel slanders that have been uttered against liis wife and children, it says: The statement which Mr. Blaine makes, in his letter to Mr. William Walter Phelps should close all lips upon a subject which has been introduced and discussed m this campaign only where manliness was forgotten.

Mr Blaine's Marriage.

The letter of Mr. Blaine in reply to the infamous assault of the Sentinel upon the good name of his wife and children, will touch ar responsive chord in the hearts of all honorable .men, whatever be their partisan bias. Manly, sincere ,deeply regretting the necessity of such a duty, Mr. Blaine has effectually disposed of the ignominious . assailants of his home, and has vindicated himself in such manner as must briug the blush of shame to the cheek of decent Democrats, who have nosympathy with the dastardly methods pursued against the Republican candidate, but who Lave not been men enough to openly denounce them. Mr. Blaine makes no defense of his secret marriage, long known to his friends, and, like “the honorable man that he has ever proved himself as husband and father, takes upon himself all the blame that may attach to such action. That the Kentucky ceremony was regarded by each as binding and sacred has been proved m every subsequent act; in the second ceremouy at Pittsburg, performed to remove any doubt that may have attached to the hist on account of technical informality; in „a life-long devotion, one to the other, and in a manied life extending over more than a third of a century, and remarkable for its purity and congeniality. Husbands and fathers have cause for congratulation. The typical American home has been fortified anew by this signal triumph over the most malignant attack ever made upon its sanctity. Millions of honored wives and mothers will rejoice in heartfelt thankfulness to-day for this victory over the fiends who have not hesitated to ravish and despoil the home of those who presumed to stand between them and the objective spoils of office, as though these mean things could be placed in the balauce over against the good name of woman and the love and sacredness of our firesides.

The democratic party has a fearful responsibility to answer for in this; for, while a few Bemocfatic papers have at intervals denounced or discountenanced the infamy of the war against virtue and against home, it has been done in a perfunctory and half hearted manner, and the Bemocratic committees, State and National, have done nothing to stop it and drag off wretches so lost to shame as to attempt to murder the virtue of women to get at the plunder of a political victory. The Rev. Ball lias declared that this campaign is a struggle between the brothel and the home. If that must be the issue, that the latter will triumph, is beyond question. But the light will have to be kept Up to the end. The conscienceless slanderers who have so maliciously sought to traduce one of the noblest wiyeg and mothers in this Christian land, frill.not willingly give up, but will continue to snarl and snap. The great shame of compelling such a thing at the hands of any man as thut wrung from Mr. Blaine, in the defense of his wife and children, is upon all the Nation. The people will see that the fullest possible reparation is made.—[lndianapolis Journal.

A Magnificent Meeting!

The ! Uon. John ll.fi ufler at the Iteiisselaei* Opera House. A Speech /pH of tlnany swerable Logic and an Audience lull of i ' Unquenchable Enthusiasm! The Hon. John M. Butler, one of Indiana’s very greatest lawyers, and ablest. orators, made a political speech, at the Ronsseße;r Opera House last Tuesday evening. The weather had been dark and lowering all the afternoon, and the evening was dark and threatning. This fact Had a most injurious effect UppH jh'e attendance, especially frbnTTTiecountry. Mr. Butler’s great abilities as au orator are well known m Jasper county, and had not the weather been so unfavorable, the vast numbers who would have thronged to hear him, would have filled the Opera House twice over. The Newton township Blaine and Logan club liad arranged to come in a body, the Union township club likewise, while Barkley, Hanging Grove, Jordan, and the outside portions of Marion, would have all sent largo delegations. As it was the spacious Opera House was tided nearly to its utmost capacity; and a more attentive and interested, and at the same time, thoroughly enthusiastic audience seldom listened to a political speaker. -- The Hon. I. D. Dunn, republican candidate for joint Representative, was chosen chairman, .for the evening, and presided in a dignfied and efficient manner. The Glee Club sang an appropriate song, after which the chairmam introduced the speaker, who immediately began a speech which fariiy held his large audience spell bound, for nearly two hours. To give even a synopsis of this great speech would at this time, be impracticable. We only regret that Mr. Buffer could not have found it convenient to have spoken in Ilesselaer in the afternoon, rather than in the evening. Had this been the case' liis auditors would have been numbered by the thousand. At the Conclusion of the speech the Glee Club sang a song of local production, which was re_ ceived with great favor.

In addition to the letter to William Walter Phelps, published on one of our inside pages, wherein Mr. Blaine explains the circumstances of his two marriages, lie has also, lately, answered the interrogatories propounded by the Indianapolis Sentinel. Every question is met and answered in the clearest and most straightforward manner, and unless honor and manliness have utterly departed from the Democratic pariy, they will put an fend to the infamous slanders against Mr. Blaine’s family. '

The following strong and sensible words in regard to the system of education now prevailing in the public school, are fiom the columns of the Indianapolis Journal, but they fit the case probably about as well in one town as another: The public schools are marked for “per cents” and “averages”, they are not conducted for the of turning out sound minds, well educated, in the true sense of the term, in sound bodies. It is “per cents” and “averages” that drive the children into fevers, and sickness, and debility, and, final!#, into premature graves, and which overwork teachers, keep them I prostrate under their burdens, and prevent them from “educating” their pupils, in order to make a I good “record” in the cast-iron “system" which is rapidly’ squeezing the life out of our boasted free schools. This criticism applies all over the country. It is not peculiar to Indianapolis,
