EASTERN HORSES TO CONTEND FOR THE
KENTUCKY STAKEs.-Bramble, the game son
OF EOnnie Scotland, and who ranks next to the
Duke OF Magenta in the east, takes I'D his
quarters at the Jockey Club course today and
will at once 60 into training for the st. Leger
and Stallion stakes at our fall meeting If he
had no other record, his race against the Duke
of Magenta in the Taylor stakes at Saratoga,
would stamp him as marvel of speed and
courage, for though the time is not equal to
that made by our fleet youngsters Day Star,
Himyar, Leveller and Solicitor, still Bramble
carried lis pounds, while our cracks were
weighted with only 100. Bramble changes eli
mate and water, and the contest will be an
object OF interest to all the turfmen of the
country as a basis for calculation IN re-
gard to the merits of Day Star, Himyar and
the Duke of Magenta, all of whom participated
in the Dixie at Baltimore. 1t is certainly a
bold move on the part of the Dwyer Bros, and
they will, with The rest of the nominators, have

The radical party has had control of the
government long enough to show its true
inwardness. 1t is now about to receive a
final kick, and as il goes the people will re-
capItulate its multiplied villainies, thefts,
frauds, forgeries, perjuries, receptions,
treacherles and despotic acts, making a sum
total of knavery that ssaggers belief.
By its financial policy. in changing the
bond contract, it swiDdled the people at one
stroke out of 5000, 100000.
1t has been officially reported by radical
congressman that for thirteen years radical
officials stole 800. OOO. 900 annually from the
revenues, aggregating 81 800 600, 900.
By contracting the currency the rad
ical party caused 69.9O2 failures, represent.
ing liabilities amounting 10 81, $50 .474. 443
By contracting the currency the radical par
ty brought about a shrinksge in values of

democratic party expended for the ten years
from June 30, 1852. to June 30, 1861, for the
same items.
The radical party increased the public
debt from 1861 to 1878 from $64, $40, 1871 to
81, 256 2O5, s92 S. These are stubborn facts
from which there is no appeal. Certainly
such party ought TO go to the devil.

cine being sufficient TO save them. II this
be the report of the rayages this year, what

the authorities to see that nothing is left un-
done IN indianapolis to keep the people as
far as possible free from disease and danger.
For if yellow fever does not attack, diph-

same path and feasts upon the same mate
rial. Sewer gas, vile odors, decaying matter
swell lis strength and give it the power to
snatch from every home the young aud
weak. 1t is as insidious. as terrible, as swift
as the fever, and its approach should awaken
as much alarm and produce as much deter
mination to resist it at the very outset.

persisted by the combined attacks of cold,
hunger and nakeduess, could derive some
consolation In knowing that they had at
least potter's field burial, but there is alb
solutely no solace. for the alienation of the
national degradation that the increase of
crime inf1icts-an increase traceable di-

mately the outgrowth of radicalism
as fangs are the outgrowth of serpents This
increase of crime includes the whole list OF
aggravated misdemeanors, from petty lar

from liar to perjurer, from the till robber to
the most distinguished thief commission by
Grant, from the ballot-box suffer in some

ofhces for soul damning perjuries, from wife
beating to wife killing, and ali the inter-
mediate crimes from fist to bullet. The

forced hundreds OF thousands of willing

are populated, and still the cry

ranks of felons Nor is this all From
wretched homes there are going forth an
army OF suicides. Poverty and want de-
throne reason, and bullet and rope, drug
and drowning tell the tale of idleness and
Its deploraDle effects. Notwithstanding the
radical party is directly responsible for the
twin curses of ideness and crime, which are
everywhere awakening the deepest solicit
tude, it comes before the people and asks
for new lease of power. 1t is for the peo-
pie to rebuke this impudence and send the
party into exile.

but not one of them, nor all
of them, can fifty describe the
RIGHTEOUSNESS of a newspaper that sells its
columns for SANDER. The people of Indian

of such transaction. The voters of Marion

TOM RROWNE,s graz

General Thomas NJ. Browne it leaks ont
has had the luck of all truly loyal radica,
statesmen, to draw capital prize from the
treasury he took as a fee in the Indiana
whisky cases, as assistant counsel. the sum Of
$4,000. equal to two salary grabbers. Now
what did this loyal radical grabber do for his
$4,000? Did he appear in any case except
that of Bingham, who is still out of prison,
reclining in the shade of radical power? In
the entire list OF radical raids upon the treas
ury nothing more outrageous appears in the
history of radical fraud than this transaction
OF General Tom Browne and it should
have the effect of retlrlng him
to private life. The letter of Attorney Gen.
eral Devens TO the Hon. ]. c. Blackburn is
conclusive. On page 76 of the report of the
attorney general for 1877 is statement of
the amount paid in Indiana by the depart.
ment OF justice, and an examination of this
report exhibits unmistakable evidences OF
fraud. The amount paid Thomas NJ. Browne
for services as assistant prosecutor in the
whisky fraud cases is not included in the
list, although according to the letter of At
torney General Devens, printed below,
Browne was paid on Sunday, March 4. 1877,
the day when Grant went out and Hayes
came in.
1t is now in order for General Tom Browne
TO rise and explain, as the people will not
be likely to excuse such an instance of glar-
ing peculation and fraud. Here is the letter
of Attorney General Devens. 1t speaks for
itself, and effectually set General Tom
Brownies hash:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
WASHINGTON, Sept. "a, 1878. !
Hon. j. c. Blackburn, Washington, d. c.:
SIR In answer TO your inquiry of this MORN
ing you are informed that IL is impossible to
gather from the records of this department.
what portion OF the fees of the United states
attorney for Indiana, since the year 1873, have
been paid for the prosecution of whisky cases,
as his temized accounts are on file in the
treasury, which alone can accurately show the
amount or such earnings; that there was paid
the regu ar assistant, Z. l.. Holstein,, since
1878, 10 July, 1877 an annual salary of 81 600,
for all services, and since July, 1877,
annual salary of 81 900, and that in his case
there are no records in this department to
show what portion of the salary was for ser
vices rendered in the whisky cases; that ON
the 3Jth of December, 1879, Thomas NJ. Browne
was employed, as special COUNSEL for the pros
ecution of whisBy frauds, under retainer of
500, and upon the close of his labors he was
on the 4th OF March, 1877, paid a final fee of
attorneys were employed by this department
for such prosecution in Indiana. Very re-
spectfully, CHAs DEvENs,
Attorney General.
