williams speech.

The Indianapolis Journal of yesterday
morning published what purportsd to be
the speech of the Hon. ]. ID. Williams at
Salem, Ind, on Friday last. The speech.
as reported. was intended to make refiec-
ton upon Mr.. Williams literary acquire.
ments. 1t is unnecessary to say that this
was disgrsceiul as well as disboRorsble
piece of journalism. As an evidence OF
the incapacity of the reporter to report the
speech correctly, even if he had been dis.
posed to do so, 1t is only necessary to say
that upon one occasion he made such a
report of the speech of the Hon. ID. d
Pratt that that gentleman was Indignantly
seeking the scalp of somebody responsible
for it about the Journal Office for several
days. However, the speech, even as pub
lished, will convey to the Journals read
ers mass of wholesome truth not usu-
ally found in that paper, or given to read
ers of Radical journals.
This effort on the part of the Radicals oil
this state to decry the abilities of the hon.
est old farmer simply because he may lack
some of the literary culture of his kid
gloved opponent, will not meet the fsvo'
or respect of thin king men. Mr.. Williams
early life, like that of most of our old men
who came early into this state, was de.
prived of the superior educational advan-
tages of later years, but still his speeches
are plain and perspicuous, and
elicit the earnest attention of bis
auditors. There are very few men
even of our prominent political
speakers who make no inaccurate use Of
language in extempore addresses, and they
generally desire to revise even their written
productions. The people just now desire
the plain facts rather than rhetorical -four
ish, and the Journal will find before tAt
canvass is over that men who feel the op-
preston ofhigh taxes and hungry stom.
achs will rather hear the story of economy
in government expenses from honest old
Jimmy Williams than any rhetorical wsv.
ing of the ensanguined uLdergsrment Oh
fulsome perorstions on the administration
of Grant by Mr.. Harrison.
1t occors to us thstthe Journal should
learn some things by experience, but it has
very soon forgotten that only two years
ago it commenced similar warfare upon
Mr.. Lsnders. disparaging his culture in
comparison with that of the kid-gloved,
glib-tongued, congressioually trained ora
tor, G enersl Coburn, but the people placed
their condemnation upon the latter and
sent Mr.. Lsnders to Congress.
We reproduce elsewhere report of the
speech of Mr.. Williams, from the New AL
bsny Ledger. Standard, OF Monday. which
we venture to say is a fair presentation Of
what Mr.. Williams did say to the people
OF Washington county, which is in bar
mony with the statement OF our CORE
spondent at Salem.

viewing the past record oil Republican ad
ministrations, that the election of Demo-
cratic House two years ago was providen-
tisl, looking to the exposure OF the vast
corruption existing in the government
before that party should fasten itself in
power for another four years. Fortu-
nately for the American people, in the
House the majority determined to uncover
the wickedness that had been systematic
cally concealed, and lay bare before the
people the methods by which they have
been robbed during the past eight ears
Setting aside all other legislative
matters, this work alone will mark this
Congress as one of the most important in
the history of our country. The nation
was in danger, in greater danger. indeed,
than from a foreign or internal fee
We were fast vergipg to that condition of
rottenness when the government, in prey
ing upon the people. destroys the very
vitality of a nation. Nations may be con-
quered by foreign foe, end yet flourish
in commercial prosperity. The govern
mGnt may revolutionize, aud yet leave the
people with a tide OF prosperity, but when
those in power commence pillsging the
people with high taxes, reckless extrsva-
gance and public robbery, then the nation
dies. But the tide of reform has set in,
and to the Democracy the future interests
of the country are indebted for their re-
deemina work this centennial year.

The work of the session.

The first Congress Tor iourJeen years In
which the Democracy has had any con-
trolling influence has just adjourned, and
a review of the work accomplisb shed in its
long session affords matter for just pride
to the party. Much energy has been ex
pended in merely negative work, made
necessary by the maladministration OF
the resistance of the Republican Senate,
but creditable quantity of positive, actual
work has been performed. In the consider
alton of this, the first place must be given
to the complete and startling exposures OF
Republican corruption and misrule that
have hitherto been kept covered up
through the partisan and personal interest
OF the rulers of Congress In TIE frauds and
crimes going on under their eyes. The
Democratic House has exposed and dis
grsced the guilty secretary of war; 1t has
brought to light long line of corrupt
practices in the navy department; j.
has revealed the true inwardness of
the real estate pool. and unfolded enough
of the safe burglary affair to send the chiel
actor out of the country and secure the in.
dictment of the presidents private secre-
tary. Coming to the more legitimate work
of the body, Congress, through the per-
sistent and untiring efforts of the lower
House, has reduced the expenses Of
government S29, 900 900, and would have
effected q greater saving but for the re-
sistance of the Senate. The House has
shaped It's course wisely in legislation upon
the finances, meeting the demands of The
country by passing bill for the repeal OF
of the resumption act, which the nom con-
currence OF the Senate prevented from be-
coming law. 1t has taken the wind out
of one Republican sail by passing the
school amendment to the constitution
which also failed in the Senate. In the
rush and hurry of che closing hours, no
improper measures got through and none
of Immediate importance Jailed. All the
appropriation bills were passed In thor
ouxnly considered and well digested form
Tue Hawaiian treaty bill in the interest
OF our Pacific commerce passed. The
bill for the increase OF the forces
operating against the Sioux reached
it's Fl nal ass age at the last meeting, thus
leaving no important measure not acted
on. Altogether. the record made by the
Forty-fourth Congress- at It's first session is
most crsditabls to the party which has
been restored to partial power after strng.

liable information from this state will interest
In the first place, the canvass is well
conducted, the people are enthusi-
astlc and determined /; and the
OLD WAR SPIRIT thoroughly aroused, and If
it were not for one thing we could rest certain
of victory in October. There il an Indepen-
dent party in this state, confined, it IS true, to
a few counties, but formidable, AND IT WILL
DEFEAT GEN. HARRISON. There is but one
one way TO overcome this movement. The
leaders of the Independents are poor, needy
and in debt. They mu 1 be lectuTed to; docu-
ments be placed in their hands that they may
be convinced OF their folly.

fighting this battle, and bravely; but unless
the national commitsee wakes u q and does its
duty to you, to the party and the country, DE-

EDITOR OF TIE HERALD Permit me to
csll your attention to the superiority Of 4th
street over King a. q place for the semi
weekly markets. It has many advantages,
one of which is It's great width, enabling
wagons to be on both sides Of the street, II
needed, and leave large space in It's CEN
tire for travel. 1t being . street running
East and West It can far better acoommo-
date the citissns because 1t bisscts the CEN
tire Of population. Again. King street is 80
blocked up upon market days % to be al-
most impassable, and It il said to be very
annoying to the private residents Of that
street, while the change would be entirely
agreeable to the business men now on 4thSt.
In view Of the great increase of wagons
likely to result from the repeal Of the ordi-
nance known as the "Shinner Ordinance" !"
