That eminent and representative Repub.
lican, Clapp, who went to Washington
poor, spent more than his income, and
finds himself rich, has confessed. The
government printing Office is like most of
the other government offices. The accounts
haye been cooked, money has been ex-
pended without authority or record, and
the property of the government has been
stolen and sold. Clapp himself doesn't
know how much he has taken and wasted
And now, what are our Republican friends
going to do about it?

The lndiena Democrats are getting back
to Democracy in their financial notions, as
evidenced by this plank from their late
platform:
Fourth, we believe in our ancient doe
trine that gold and silver are the true and
safe basis for the currency, and we are in
favor of measures and policies that will
produce uniformity in the value of the coin
and paper money of the country without
destroying or embarrassing the business
interests Of the people.

Them cussed mules continer to kick, "
Notwithstanding Bristow's denial, and
they will be Investigated. The committee
are in possession of records showing that
the mule claim was fraud from beginning
to end, and indicating that Bristow had
forgotten something. This claim has al
ways been in the name of Thompson q
20. 1t was originally for $4,000, but
grew under the careful manipulation of
agents and attorneys to about $lOS, 600.
No contract is on record, and it appears to
be somewhat similar to the Kentucky
Central railroad claim, that killed Pendle-
ton. A letter from the widow OF one of
the Thompsons declares that they received
$4,000, being all they claimed, and that
they we're not aware that the claim had
been raised by the attorneys. When
Bristow was solicitor general he consulted
Belknap several times in relation to the
case, and also instructed Capt. Rowland to
take dispositions. There seems to be little
doubt OF the truth Of the assertion that he
understood the case, participated in it, and
received fees for his services. If this
shall DE clearly established, lawyers claim
that he will stand very much as Pendletou
stands in the Kentucky railroad swindle.
1t is little singular that Belknap is also
mixed up in this mule business, and was
very anxions that the claim should be al
lowed. Chicago Post and Mail-Rep.

The Indiana Democrats.

II it we're not for its inconsistency on the
money question, the Indiana Democratic
platform might serve as model for all
Democratic platforms this year 1t de-
nounces the official corruption at Wash
ington and elsewhere, sufficiently, with
out strauiug to make political capital out
of it; it demands retreuchmeut and |
economy as essential to the tightening of |
tax-burdeDs OF the people; it deplores the /
industrial prostration anu arrangement !
that fifteen years of Republican rule have |
eliminated in; it demands the maintenance
Of the common school system, free from all
sectarian control; 1t declares in favor of
maintaining inviolate the pubic faith, and
the payment Of the national debt, and
against any assumption Of the District of
Columbia debts contracted by the District
ring; il declares in favor of paying the
pensions granted to Union soldiers and
their widows and orphans; it deprecates
the undue extension of the jurisdiction Of
federal courts in civil cases. as burdensome
and expensive to the people; aud it pro.
claims Gov. Hendricks the unanimous
choice of Indiana Democrats for president
All this fair enough and 10 one can find
fault with it, But when the platform
strikes the money problem IT wavers end
wabbles IN a manner strikingly Illustrative
of Indiana politics. Ii begins with an
avowal Of its belief in the ancient doctrine
that gold and silver are the true and
safe basis for the currency" and it
adds that it is lin favor OF measures and
policies that will produce uniformity in
value in the coin and paper money Of the
country but it next declares that it is
opposed to contraction Of the volume of
our paper currency, and demands a re-
peal OF the resumption act OF 1870 How
we are to restore gold and silver as the
basis OF our currency without resuT ptiOn,
or how the value OF coin aud currency is to
he made uniform without contracting the
volume of the latter, now five times as
great as the former the platform does not
make clear. 1t pretends to assert that a
natural return to specie payment will
come by the growth of the country; but
this idea, borrowed from the late secretary
of the treasury, Mr.. Boutwell,, is regarded
as fallacious by all writers on the subject
whose opinion is entitled to respect, and
its repetition by the Indiana Democrats
only shows their readiness to take up the
worthless exuvie Of Republican states
men.
Tie Democratic candidate for governor,
James ID, Williams, is new man to out
siders. We hope he is strong enough to
beat Orth, the Republican nominee That
is the only point in Indiana politics that
interests the country The Indiana Re.
publicans are equally at sea, with the
Indiana Democrats, on finance, so that
there is nothing to be gained on this head.
But Indiana has fifteen electoral votes,
and it is matter Of some importance
which side they will be cast on.-iS Louis
