Senator Morfon's Breaches.

In its leader nom mating Senator Morton
for the presidency, the Journal says the
senator "has made many a breach where
others dare not follow" We will mention
q few of these "breaches:"
He broke from the democratic party when
he thought he could win Office by so doing.
He broke through the lines of elective
franchise by voting whole regiments OF
foreign soldiers for himself when a candi
date for Office, and inspired his friends to
commit other crimes against the pa rity OF
the ballot box.
He has unhesitatingly broken throug b
every line of political consistency by
abandoning any policy he has advocated
when it was his personal or political in
terest to do so.
He is now attempting by his consolids
ton resolutions to make q breach In the
constitution of the United States; and by
his Mississippi resolutions, to make 9
breach in the rights guaranteed to the states
The Journal is right in saying "many re-
fused to follow him."

Nr. Landers, GreencastIe speech.

In the Sentinel of this morning we pub
lish the full text of the speech o, the Hon.
orsble Franklin Lsnders, delivered at
GresncastIs on Tuesday evening last. The
speech was pronounced extemporaneously,
and was phonographicslly reported for the
Sentinel. Mr.. Landers is man of strong
common sense, and has the faculty of ex-
pressing himself in plain aud torcible Ian
gusge. The speaker uses plain words to
express his ideas, and no one who heard the
address or reads it In print will bs at
a loss to understand his position on the
great question OF the day. He does not use
words to conceal his ideas, but to express
them, and we venture the assertion that
the speech we print this morning will meet
the appreciation of large majority OF the
people oil his district. In his race for con-
gress against General Coburn, Mr.. Landers
proved himself able to take care of himself
and to protect the Interests of the party
which nomiDa ed him, and in his Green
castle speech he gives evidence of his ability
to grapple with questions OF the most COM
plicated nature. The same sagacity that
has made him so successful in business
question he so ably and thoroughly dis
cusses, and those who do not know IL will
yet learn that he is as competent to discuss
the affairs OF state as he has proven himself
to be in the management of his private in
te-ests. In the speech we publish this
morning Mr.. Landers does not deal in gilt
tering generslities, but in stubborn facts.
He does not depend upon fine spun theo-
fies to elucidase his positions, but in statis-
tics and historical precedents. When he
takes hold of a position he does not leave it
until he surrounds it with such q
Gordon of facts and logic that
his conclusions are irresistible. There
are many men who would have discussed
the financial question in more flowing
rhetoric and ornate language than Mr.
Landers has done, but there are few, in
deed, who would have brought to bear upon
the subject stronger arguments or facts
more forciDly presented than appear in the
speech we print this morning. We shall
attempt no epitome of the speech. 1t trea
of a subject that interests every man in the
country, and Mr.. Lsnders' views upon thi:
subject, aud the reasons he has for enter
tanning them, are worthy of the considera
tion of every man in Indiana. Therefore
every reader of the Sentinel should carefully
read and consider this speech of the repre-
sentative in congress from the central dis
trict of our state.

The Republican Convention.

The Sentinel, few days ago, referred to
the change OF base of the Republicans of
this state, and suggested that the plan was
connected here, and the article published
first In the Kokomo Tribune, to be Endorsed
by the Journal, and thus to go out to the
party in the state. The Tribune neatly
acknowledges the matter in the following:
The Indianapolis Sentinel, referring to the
proposed change OF arrangements about the Re-
publican state convention, says the article was
probably gotten up at Indianapolis but pub
lished at Kokomo first for effect. While the in
situation was a very mean one, il is much
nearer the truth than the Sentinel suppos IL
was. The senior editor was at Indianapolis all
of last week. He wrote the article In his room
and read 1t to one member of the United States
Court jury, his roommate. No other person
Tribune, not being shown to any other person.
The Senti mel ought TO know that the Tribune is
managed by the editors lhereof-that IL is not
limber-jack TO be pulled by either candidates
or politicians.
The Sentinel accepts the information con.
tributed in the concluding sentence, and
acknowledges itself fully advised OF the fact
that the Tribune is not /" limber-iack, p
and is not to be pulled by candidates OF
politicians. But still we can not help say
| ing that If we told a truth we can not see
why the insinustIon was so " mean" unless
the scheme itself was mean.

clients, refused to step down and out, but

THE SAFE BURGLARY.

A PLACE WHERE BURGLARS ARE sAFE-RE-
VIKING A STATE SCANDAL.
A Washington special to the Chicago
Tribune OF yesterday says: The attention
of the court will be called tomorrow to i'm
por;ant disclosures In regard to the charae-
ter of the jury before whom Green, Bal
timore barber, was recently tried for falsely
representing himself to be Mr.. Fades, a
wealthy citizen of Georgetown, and thus, by
giving worthless bail, securing the release
of the burglar Snyder, who was at that time
injsil. 1t is stated that the foreman of that
jury, Notwithstanding the efforts of the
prosecution to prevent its being
packed, had been a Pennsylvania
convict, and that evidence will be produced
from the war department to show that, dur
ing the war. this fact was pleaded In order
to enable him TO escape military service, he
having been drafted. The unblushing man
ner in which other jurors personally con-
graduated the prisoner, Immediately after
his acquittal, proves beyond question that
they, too, were certainly unfit for the posi-
tons they held. The whole history of this
case adds another to the rspidly-accumula-
ting evidences that justice in the District of
Columbia has become solemn mockery
Snyder, the burglar, in whose interest the
Green conspiracy was arranged, was be-
lieved to have had hand in
THE HARRINGTON SAFE BURGLARY,
by which 1t was attempted to turn the tide
OF district investigation In 1874 in favor
of the ring by falsely accusing an in nocent
and respectable citizen of felony, and manu-.
featuring evidence to convict him, and il
was generally supposed that, If he were al
lowed to remain In Jail or be tried and con-
victed, he would tell all he knew about
that notorious case and duplicate certain
prominent citizens of the district. In order
to prevent this, conspiracy for the relief OF
Snyder on false bail was entered into and
carried out. After the fact that the signer
Of the bond was not Fades, as he pretended
to be, was discovered, detective was sent
to Baltimore to bring Green, who was sus-
pected of being the person who had signed
the paper, TO Washington, and
after his examination, in which
those persons WHO were suspected
of having been cOnsDirsgnrs with him prin-
cipally participai, g. h- was allowed to re-
turn. This tact becoming known, a special
police investigation was made. which re.
suited in the reaTrest of Green aod his in.
dictment, bes ides the indicl ment of several
others, some of whom held official positions
1t Is now believed that, to save him and in
directly to save the safe-burglsry con
spirators, the jury wss packed, and hat The
most important paIt of the testimony on the
strength of which he was acquitted was
perjury, and was manufactured in this city
and Baltimore. These facts show an alarm.
ing state OF affairs which should command
the immediate attention of both houses o.
congress. 1t is proper to say that no.sus
picion rests upon any of the judge i'm con
nection with these matters, and that the
charge of Judge Macarthur in the Green cas-:
was very strong against the prisoner.
