HE NEVER SAID IT.

Editoi; - Republican :—The Democratic Sentinel, and Montieeli mocrat strike at Judge Hammond by quoting the following which they attribute to him as a part of -/is speech at Logansport, when he accepted the chairmanship of the Republican Congressional Convention. “The Democratic party draws its struggle from the slums and dregs of creation.” Judge Hammond says he never thought of such a thing let alone saying it in a speech. Those Democratic editors measure his corn in their measure. Rothrock has been licked in saloon brawls several times within a year, if repo'D nre true. - . The Sentinel man is so steepd in Democracy and tobacco, that he will net tell tire truth in politics if he can avoid it. While there are a goodly number of honorable and upright men who are democrats, yet it is a fact notorious throughout the United States that where the “slums and dregs 7 ' are plenties',,• Democratic majorities ore the largest. Rothrock and MoEwen are a pair that will do for ward heelers and cross roads politicians to draw to; they are ever ready for dirty work, j heir class f editors will be pretty apt to chew that morsel over many times during the campaign. They know well enough they the “slums and dregs” with them and they want to keep them in line until November if they can. The more, malaria, (bad air) such as President Cleveland had some time ago, when he went up to “Gray Gables” is what the majority of the party revel in. The Republican party proposes to get up such a breeze before November that the malaria will all be driven south of the Ohio river.
