Hughes, the Prohibition candidate for Governor of Indiana, addressed a public meeting in the court house, last SaturWOfc- afternoon and again at the same place in the evening. If anyone w«&t to hear him with the expectations of listening to ahigh-

minded, dignified And scholarly gentleman discuss great questions of the day in an able and impartial manner, they must have been most thoroughlyjdisappoihted. The man's speech was well calculated to excite to frenzied eestacy the vindictive feelingst of the narrow minded bigots and malignant sorehead* who Lrin a considerable j proportion,of the. Prohibition party, but it was not calculated to win any converts .to his Cause, nor. do we believe that it diet or could have that effect. Some twelve or fifteen years ago, during the hard times which for some years,followed the great financial revulsion of 1873, Henry Ward Beecher stated, during a public address, that he thanked God that it was possible for a workingman to obtain for a dollar a day at least sufficient wholesome food to keep himself ami family from actual hunger. .Beecher was then a prominent Republican and of course Iris Democratic enemies at once declared and persisted in the declaration, that “Old Beecher” said that a dollar a day was pay enough for any workingman. Since that time Beecher, having joined the Democratic party and; also died, the Democrats had no further object in applying the dollar-a-day he to him any longer and have transferred it, without'even change of form, to Benjamin Harrison. It is a mhst malignant lie, and will ■be adhered to with thnt persistence in falsehood which has made the old saying, “A lie well stuck to is as good as the truth,” the very foundation principle of Democratic policy; but it is, withal, so palpably false and so utterly idiotic that it is not within the limits of human credence to suppose that it can do any harm to Mr. Harrison or the cause he represents.
