GENERAL HARRIsON,s SPEECH.

We make room to-day for the speech. of
General Harrison, delivered ct Rich
mond last evening. 1t is not our purpose,
nor have we the space for extended COM
ments upon what we regard as the most
vulnerable speech THAI has come under our
notice for many day. From the word ''go"
General Ben gives evidence that he vas as
mad as March hare. Ie attacks the demo-
cratic party at long range. He unfolds the
nasty bloody shirt, aud, like a bull at
the sight of a red rag. paws and bellows in
a way that must have disguised those who
listened to him. Upon this branch of the
generals speech it is quite sufficient to re-
mark that the people understand the sltua-
,tion. States that were radical under Grant
have denounced their allegiance to the
theiving,. perjury-purchasing party, and ere
to-day marshaling their forces under the
democratic banner, and the democratic party
on the. 4th of March next will have both ends
-af 5the :.nstionaI capitol" AIrom abusing
the democratic party the gez eral passes to
the Potter committee. He thinks the iDves-
tigatien was designed for a tragedy, but has
degeaerated into farce. 1t is enough to
say that it IS the grimest farce HAT was ever
PLAYED en- the American boards. A number
of prominent radical conspiratOrs are even
now In their political winding sheets, and

Hayes occupies the Office of president, If
. they we've feathers, would sink the ships,
gunboats ana revenue cuttecs that
make up the navy Of the country.
The army comes. IN for a trs mendous eulogy,
and General Ben evidently wants federal
troops to run all Che railroads, machine
shops and industrial enterprises of the coun-
try. He wants a big army t. crush states,
bayonet Legislatures. protect returning
boards, stand guard while ballot boxes are
being stuffed, aud shooa down working Ren
who dare protest when reduced to starVa
ton wages. The general gets in a lick at
poor old South Carolina because the courts
of the state desire to try men fo1
shooting down, in cotd blood, unoffending
citizens Of the state. Hayes $50 called"
southern policy is the real joke of the
speech, and General Ben Harrison makes it
short. on financial matters the general is
tremendously elaborate. In some remarks
he is pretty, though never rising to the s7h-
Unity of Rennis Kearney. Dennis can beat
him on tropes. Resumption, democracy.
greenbacks and fat money are mixed IN the
widest confusion. The general is down on
''fat money" He don't seem to think
that fat dollars sill do, though be takes
special pains to tell the people that he never
denounced greenbackers as idiots. No, in
deed. General Ben loves the greenbscksi

WILL Il. ENGLISH.

The Joint convention of Marion and Shelby
counties, held in Shelbyville yesterday, re-
suited in the nomination of Will E. English
Esq of this city, for joint representative of
the counties of Marion and Shelby. The
nomination of Mr.. English was warmly
urged by his friends, and it became
evident that ii was useless to resist the strong
current of popular favor that was bearing
the young aspirant to the goal of success aad
as a result the nomination was by acclama-
ton. 1t is seldom that such an unequiyocal
Endorsement is awarded young man just
starting out on a political career, and the
action of the convention in the case of our
young fellow townsman argues well for
his future trIumphs. AS we have said,
the nominee is young man, the son
of the Hon. w. H. English, who made,
while in congress, national reputation.
He is democrat, and enjoys the reputation
of unquestioned fidelity to the vital princi-
pies of the party. He has distin-
guished himself as an active and energetic
worker, and as such has won the confidence
of those with whom he has labored to
achieve triumph over radicalism. MIR. Eng
lish Is the recognized leader of the young
democracy of Marion county, a position fairly
won and successfully maintained. AS chair
man of the democratic central committee
Of Marion county, be demonstrated decided

has seen them in war and in peaces has
fought, bled and died with greenbacksS has
had them by him sleeping and waking, and
is stSsi standing by the greenback money.
General Ben pays his respects to labor,
lsforing men, and in the wealth OF
ms demsgogUery intimates that the
radical party is the friend of the
aaboring rnan. The general closes with
'''the brighter side,'' and quotes the Chicago
Times with regard to the wealth Of several
western states, good crops and practical re-
sumptlen. He does not see the army OF
idlers. He does not hear the crash of falling
fortunes as business men pass to the bank
rupt court. He does not hear the piteous
cry for bread going up from every section of
the oountry-curses inflicted by the radical
party. No, no; General Zen Is
the kid glove sristocrat, the man
known to be as cold as an
ioeburg, and to have no more sympathy for
the poor in their distress than a Shylock has
for his victim. General Ben winds up with
g demand for three things: Put down Law
lessuess, put the currency on an honest
basis, and lift up our eyes and see the dawn
of day. We add one or two more desirable
things. General Ben will please repeat his
Richmond speech as often as convenient;
contribute literally for the erection Of
the Harrison idiot asylum for green
hackers, and dismiss all idea of going to
the United States senate. These things
will make General Ben happy-and demo
Gratis, too, for that matter. We may again
allude to some portions of General Harri-
sons speech at future time. though really
there is nothing in it deserving special criti-
ofcv,,

Why don't the radical candidates, stump
orators and organs attack the financial
pIanks in the democratic platform? Come,
you blatant yawpers, who favor large stand
ing armies to bayonet states and legislatures,
who apologize for radical thieves Snd are
willing to accept offices conferred by forgery
and perjury, we challenge you to attack the
financial doctrines set forth in the demo-
cratic platform adopted by the Indiana dem
ocracy in February last. Now come on with
your squirt guns and pop guns.

THE LABoRER AND the DoLLAR.

GeSeIal Ben Harrison in his Richmond
speech declared his inclination Ito treat
resumption as fact"-that Is to say, Gen.
eral Harrison is inclined to treat the paper
dollar as q "par. dollar" which he contends
is the great need of the workingmen of the
country. These par dollars, the general
asserts, are in the greatest profusion. He
said:
The claim that our commercial depression
is the result of a deficiency of currency IS mere
bald assertion. II money is scarce will any
one tell us why nearly S2Q00.0O0 in a day last
week were invested in a government per

ever knew of 1t selling so cheap. The child

up must come down. This universal law as
gertg itself against every thing, except the
immortal spirit. A period Of Initiation and
general speculation must be followed by one

borrowing was too easy. Loan agencies In

The meeting held by the nationals yester
day at Martinsville was quite success in
many respects. The crowd numbered
about two thousand, and would doubt
less have been larger had not the
rain during the forenoon interfered.
The speech of DR.. De La Matyr was, however,
a credit, being earnestly and well de-
livered from manuscript 1t was well
received by the audience and frequently
applauded. The doctor Is forcibie aud
logical reasoner, portraying history and
elucldating facts in such a manner that they
can not soon be forgotten by his hearers.
The speech was well received, and
everything would have been harmo-

tack class legislation, and who do not mingle
their devotions with those who worship at
the shrine of gold. General Ben has had his
say. He opened his mouth and put his foot
in it. He started out TO be powerful and
fEzled. His speech is the ginger-pop effort
of the campaign. For thin Cruel nothing
compares with it except the Journals edi-
torials, which General Ben seems to have
used as his chief .politica, diet.

WE are indebted to the Ninth Indiana dis
trict for the nomination of the late Godlove
$. Ortiz for seat in the house of representa-
ttves. Mr.. Ortiz was once our minister to
Austria but resigned to head the republican
ticket in Indiana during the campaign of 1876
having, while member of the house commit
tee on foreign affairs, used his influence TO
ratify the unjUst and criminal award of a
mn r com 1sson against Henezpsla, there
other rascals, the republicans of Indiana con-
cluded to haul down his name. He was buried
taper, in the presence Of a few invited friends.
he is now aug up and placed on the track
again, under the theory that purgatory has
done its work.-Baitamore Gazette.
Yes, Godlove is no doubt a stiff, dug up by
set of political ghouls 1t was at first un-
derstood that Godlove was murdered in the
house of his friends, and that Foster and
Friedley were the radical footpads who COM
mitted the Orthodox deed. But now it
transpires that Godlove is fellow-de sc, who
did not see it by that sort of benzine, but
who deliberately, in the moment of supreme
ignominy, shut his great mouth with the
Venezuelan claims roilicking around IN his
abominable regions like a car load of apoth-
ecary truck. This was suicide, and suicides
are legitimate stiffs, and may be put into
picking tub to await the gibes of the student
and the scalpel of the professor. Lew Wal
lace will act as boss carver. He win probe
Godloye for his true inwardness with an in
strument resembling an axe handle, and
when Godlove is LAID away again all the rad
ical thunder of the continent will not be
sufficient to resurrect him.

''The circulation now, adding the coin and
'subtractlng the bank reserves, is about
300, 100000. This shows a reduction of
about 81, 2eO, OOO 600"
The seven-thirties amounted to $945, $751;
$50, instead of ss1a, 600, as the Express
makes the figures. The correct amount
being given, would make the circulation in
1866 81, O65r SAC, 12z, and the total contraction
81, 1866, $40. 127. Possibly the Journal will re-
gard it as prudent to attack these figures.
We conclude, however, that it will prefer to
reproduce its twaddle about the volume of
currency before the war and since 1873.
