ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

The statement lias been repeatedly made in Democratic ffewspapors fhaT General Harrison once said that “one dollar a day was enough for auy workiugmau.” This particular idiotic lie has been repeated in a number of forms, the last one of which that we have heardJof, is in the shape of a postal card addressed to workingmen in certain large towns aud cities. The issuance of such a story, in any shape, is entirely worthy of the corrupt scoundrels of the democratic party who forged the Morey letter in 1880 for the purpose of injuring General ‘Garfield's candidacy. ‘ - , The Journal is not a sporting paper , and does not as a rule, believe in the force of wagers. But tli are ONE THOUSAND on deposit in Fletcher’s Bank, which will be paid to auy man, woman or child producing the proof that General Harrison ever uttered auy such sentiment ns the democratic liars and forgers are charging him with. ,/ This offer is unlimited, either as to time or place. It will be paid to anybody who will produce tlf? .proof, whether living in Indianapolis, in Marion county, in the. State of Indiana, or in any town, township, county or state in the United States.or Territories, and at any time. —Indianapolis Jour-* nal. /" j
