A Defense of mr. Landers.

10 the EulJOr Oh the courier journal:
INDIANAPOLIS, May 27.-The letters OF
your correspondent from this city upon the
Governorship have been so one-sided and
unfair that have concluded to write you
this note and ask its insertion in your paper.
l assume you have nothing personal against
Mr.. Landers, and will be willing to give q
friend of his the necessary space to present
his side of the gubernatorial question.
Mr.. Landers is q distinguished Indiana
Democrat, and is q prominent candidate for
the highest Office in the State. 1t would
seem, therefore, that 1t Is no unreasonable
request make when 1 ask you to give me,
friend of bis. a hearing in your columns.
The New Albany Ledger-Ssandard is max
ing bitter personal fight on Mr.. Lsnders,
and / am sorry to see that some of its false
and mendacious charges against him have
been copied into your columns. No paper
published in this State has waged q personal
warfare on Colonel Gray, Mr.. Landers' COM
petitor for the nomination. The IndIanapo-
lis Sentinel, paper friendly to Mr. Landers,
has never, editorially, advocated his nomi-
nation; nor has it copied into its columns q
single article derogatory to Colonel Gray or
his candidacy. / submit that the treatment
of Colonel Gray by the friends of Mr.. Lam
ders has been in marked contrast with that
received by Mr.. Landers from those of Colo
mel Gray.
The Democracy of Indiana owe it to the
country to nominate for Governor the candi-
date who can give assurance OF polling the
most votes This should be paramount to
all other considerations. for in the contest
which is approaching we will have no votes
to spare. Now, which will be the stronger
candidate, Landers or Gray2
The best way to determine what candi-
date can do is to consider what he has done.
Let us apply this test to the gentlemen now
seeking the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor, and see what will be the result.
In 1874 Hon. John E. Neff headed the
Democratic ticket In Indiana, and polled
1s2, 154 votes in the Etate. The sams year
Mr.. Lsnders was elected to Congress In the
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1880-06-02

Seventh District, his vote being l6 977. and
Mr.. NefFs vote in the District being is Sic.
1t Is therefore apparent that Mr.. Lsnders led
h,s ncket 4ls wees, aud In the same ratio
would have led ii 5 ,0S4 votes had be been a
candidate for State Office.
In 1876 Governor Williams received 2l3,-
PIG votes in the State for Governor. HIS
vote in the Seventh Congressional District
was IL. 932, and Mr.. Landers' In the same
DistSct was 18 236, or 304 more than Gov
OF increase he would have led his ticket hs
he been candidate for State office :, 622
This vote for Mr.. Lsnders can not be layed
at the door OF the Greenbeck party, for that
party ran for Congress that year il Mr.. Ian
ders District, James Buchanan, Esq.. its
leader in the State. Having given Mr.. Lam
defs record, let Us consider that of Colonel
Gray,
Colonel Gray has not run for Office but
once since ne has been a Democrat. In 1876
he was elected Lieutenant Governor OF the
State on the ticket with Governor Williams.
Governor Williams vote IN the State was
2l3 219, and Colonel Gray's vote was 2l2 076
1t Is therefore, apparent that in 1876 !, 143
men voted for Governor Williams who re-
fused TO support Colonel Gray. Mr.. Lsnders
always ran ahead of his ticket and Colonel
Gray ran /, 143 votes behind his. This is the
record of these gentlemen.
There is no gainssying or denying the
figures have given; they are taken from the
records and must stand. BY them il will be
seen which is the stronger man before the
people, Landers or Gray.

favors could be layished upon

stances, your paper, Mr.. New, is not the one
to talk fraud SO fippantly. The Journal
talks of a pyramid of fraud" II there be

party for its spsx. Mr.. VOORHEES, has done
the country a service OF great value in
exposing the pauper negro exodus schems
of the Republican leaders, and the fact that
lie has exposed them is what is the matter
with the leaders and their organs? II the
expenditures to expose Republican rascality
amounted to $40, 900, we should like to know
how much of it Hon. John G. New succeeded
in blaming. and we would like to know If
he was equitably entitled to the money. II
he will answer the questions we have put to
him, we will proceed with the discussion.

Grit.

Violet lie Due, the great architect and
writer on art, who lately died at Paris. was
also q good landscape painter. While
climbing Mont Blanc once, on sketching
tour, he slipped and fell. remaining sus-
pended over the brink of a precipice by a
rope that attached him to the waist
of his guide. The latter's efforts
to draw him up were fruitless. Violet lie
Due, perceiving that, instead OF being
rescued by the guide, he would
only cause the destruction OF both, drew q
knife from his pocket and cut the rope,
preferring to meet q certain death rather
than involve his companion in his fall. The
guide fastened to the nearest station for
assistance. Returning shortly afterward
with the expectation of finding a mangled
corpse, he discovered the painter seated on e
snowy peak, about sixty feet below the
precipice, sketchIng the abyss in which he
bad been dangling three hours previously.
Violet le Due bad fallen on bed of fresh
snow, and was unhurt.

WHEAT.

The Chicago Times. in discussing the break
in wheat in that market, remarks that cat
the eve of what promises to be the largest
harvest which America or the world has ever
seen, we find ourselves with Z ,663, 600 bushels
of wheat in store here in Chicago, against
721, 600 bushels at this time last year. In
Milwaukee there are in store between 3, 000,-
600 and 1000 600 bushels. In this country
and in Canada there ara now in sight
that is, in store at the principal ports-20,.
10000 bushels of wheat. From January 1
to Nay 10, in the face of the high prices and
heavy European demand, we have ex-
ported in wheat and in flour reduced
to wheat 2G.027, 900 bushels against 81
$4,000 bushels exported during the
same period of last year. The
vast and excessive supply of wheat
now in store; the certainty that larger
proportion of the old crop is now held back
by the farmers than is usual; the almost
positive certainty that the heaviest crop ever
grown ir this country is about to ba har.
vested; and the prospect that the English
and Continental yield of wheat will be large
at the coming harvest, are certainly suffi-
cient to impart bearish feeling to the mar
ket. This state of affairs is primarily due
to the clique speculation, which has inter
Iupted the ordinary course of the grain
traffic. and prevented the crop of 1879 from
going into consumption and getting out of
the wsy of its successor" 1t would be well
for all parties concerned IL come plan could
be devised to put an end to clique and ring
control of the wheat market OF this coun-
try, which, as the Times says has been
"detriment and 3 bane to the whole West"
With an abundant harvest, wheat should
rule low. Such is the law. but by the COM
binations Of spectators, the Law is virtually
abrogated, prices rule high and the country
suffers. Capital is employed in vast sums 70
tie up wheat, hold it oUt.of market and out
of consumption, except at such prices as
greed may dictate. and the men who engage
in the business levy direct tax upon con-
sumers which hunger, moro exacting than
tax-gatherers, compels them to pay. We
are hearing much nowadays about the
immortality of lotteries, but lottery schemes,
however nefarious they may be, are not as
infamous as the plans devised by spectators,
cliques and rings, TO place fictitious value
upon the essentials of life, and compel coz
sumers to pay or 90 without food

GRANT.

All of a sudden the anti Grant organs are
seeking to make their peace with the Man of
Destiny, the Man on Horseback, the coming
Emperor, and In this nauseating lickspital-
ism the New York Tribune makes itself con-
temptibly conspicuous. II says:
1t has been the constant plan of the third
termers to construe all opposition TO a third
term into opposition 70 General Grant. They
haye .ssaed themselves into foam over the
'insuit" that would be offered General Grant,
If his own State should fail to give a solid vote
for him. They have gotten up elaborate hys-
terics at the personal abuse" which anti
third termers have poured on General Grant.
The Mysteries and the foam were all sham
manufactured to order. The third termers
know what the anti-third termers know-that
there has been no personal abuse of General
Grant. General Grant has been treated, all
things considered, with extraordinary tender
ness. He has not only not been abused, he has
not only not been assailed, but he has every
where been accorded a full and high measure
Of respect aud admiration. The most decided
opponents OF his reelection havevouchsafed to
the mistakes of his administration, and to his
subsequent and extraordinary marches and
countermarches, the mercy Of their silence,
There may have been no magnanimity in
this. 1t may have been policy. 1t may have
been selfshness. But 1t is fact.
The truth is. the anti Grant organs have
heaped upon Grant every denunciation that
partisan hostility could master. Blaine's
bureau, at..Washington, and the anti-Grant
organs have not hesitated to accuse him of
treason. They have gone so far as to init
xaafa that uhiIa tha ON ast of KfnOs Emnar-
ors, and the rotton aristocracy of the Old
World, he bargained to destroy the Repub-
lie and erect an Empire on its ruins, and
they have charged that in third termism, OF
which Grant Is the living embodiment and
exponent, they saw the direst calamities to
the institutions OF the country. Notwith-
standing all this. a vast msjority of the
Republican party indorse Grant and third
termism, and by the showing of Republican
organs are guilty of treason. The Republican
party has demanded strong Government
q Government of military, rather than civil
supremacy. 1t has demanded troops at the
polls, and military dictation in all things
and its opposition to Grant, in no wise
evinces any hostility to continuation oil
such policy in the future.
Itmeans rather that some other man shall
enjoy supreme power. and the perquisites Of

Editorial Comment.l

Senator Logan's friends have frequently
and positively denied that he ever coun-
ssled the people of Southern Illinois to cast
their lot with the Rebels in 1861. Mr.. Il. G.
Mason, son of ex-Mayor Mason, of this city,
in an interview with Tribune reporter yes
terday, said that he was present at a meeting
in Murphysboro in the spring Of 1861, hav-
ing gone there from Chicago on legal busl-
ness, and he distinctly recollects that Logan
described the vGr. which had then COM
menced, as a Black Republican war, referred
in sighting terms to President Lincoln, and
recommended his hearers to fight on the side
of the South. and TO have nothing to do wi h
the Union army. This is the testimony of
one of the most resp6c able citizens OF this
State, a gentleman whose Republication is
undoubted, whose honor can not be ques-
toned, and whose statements can not be
pooh poohed by the hangers on and under
ings of the Illinois Boss"

The Springfield Convention, under the
leadership of John A. Logan, has outdone
Tammsny in its palmiest days, in resorting
to outrageous means to gain POLITICAL ad-
vantage. 1t was governed solely by the
principle that might makes right" Taking
advantage of their having majority in that
Convention. the Grant men deliberately
ignored the election of twenty anti Grant
delegates to Chicago. made by regular
District Conventions, aud appointed
twenty Grant men to take their places.
and thus disfranchisiDg the Republicans of
the Districts which had chosen these men to
represent them. They did this in violation
of all presidents governing the selection of
delegates In that State, as we'll as IN all other
States. They simply resorted to the South
Carolina and Mississippi mode in order to
gain the State delegation. Nearly the en-
tire Republican press OF the country has de-
nouneed this political maneuyer of the
friends of General Grant, and they have no
ground to stand upon to justify their doings.
1t Is certain to react upon them.

The Chicago Tribune speaks of the Chair
man of the Republican State Central Com
mitsee of Indiana as one of the few 'good'
men il Indiana who are for Grant. Does
the Tribune mean "good" in the sense that
Deacon Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati
Gazette, is "good?" Truly good" is the
manner in which the latter is alluded to by
those who know him best.
