REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL

On Thursday, the 9th inst, the Rspubli-
can managers, Garfield and Arthur included,
met in council at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
in the city of New York. Among those
present were Blaine, Sherman, Logan, Cam
eron, n. P. Banks, William E. Chandler and
Pinchback. We mention the most dis
tinguisheo conspirators. True. General Ben
Harrison's name is mentioned. but since
Hon. James d. Willisms passed him through
the Democratic thrashing machine, General
Ben has not amounted to much in Indiana.
Probably the most attractive features of the
conference was the presence OF Garfield con-
sulting with N. p. Banks and Chester A.
Arthur cheek by jowl with John Sherman.
Such combinations indicate pretty clearly
that the Republican party does not care q
fig for the eternal fitness Of things. 1t will
be remembered that when Cakes Ames
bad bribed Garfield, the Republi-
can candidate for President, that
an Investigating Committee, composed
of three Republicans and two Democrats
was raised to investigate the scandal. N. p.
Banks was on that Committee. Cakes
Amess1ore that Garfield had Credit Mobilier
stock and had been paid Credit Mobilier
dividends. Garfield srore he had never held
any Credit Mobilier stock, and had nerer
received any Credit Mobilier diridends.
The issue was dis inctly made. Garfield had
raised his hand to Heaven and had sworn.
The ssnctity OF an oath was upon his lips,
and the terrible responsibility rested upon
his naked soul. N. P. Banks was familiar
with all the facts. He had heard all the
testimony. He knew Cakes Ames and Gar
field personally. he was their associate
ard fellow member Of Congress. They were
az Republicans. N. p. Banks was also under
oath. He was sitting as judge. He knew
the effect and force of his decision. Under
such circumstances what did he dor He
put it-on record that James A. Gar
field had sworn falsely, and
from that moment James A. Garfeld's
name snd character was made black with
crime. N. P. Banks said: 1.-THE facts In re-
gard to Mr.. Garfield, Is found by the Com

That Republican Conferences.

Hon. John A. Finch returned from an
Eastern business trip yesterday. lie was in
New York during the late Republican con-
ference. A representative of the Sentinel
meeting him last evening, drew the follow.
ing from him regarding that meeting. Mr..
Finch said:
The political conference was a grievous dis
appointment TO George William Curtis, and
many who had hoped TO see the party take
high ground. The independent press of the
East are unsparing in putting upon General
speeches. They were of the lowest order of
bloody shirt harapgues The whole intent
apparently was to inflame the North against
the South TO create anew every evil passion
born OF the war; 10 make IL forever impossible
that there shall be peace and determination
between the sections. They desire sectional
strife inaugurated that shall last forever. This
the independent element will not submit to,
and unless some bold step is taken, and taken
Immediately, TO lift the canvass out of the
slough, the independents will vote for Ham
COCK or not vote at all. Many OF the men
who attended tue famous conference of Inde-
pendents In 1876 were present. Many more
were watchful of what was being done. They
We're disguised both at the company and at
the speeches made. They. looked to Garfield
to introduce something better. He lost i'm
meaSureably that he did not take high stand
and compel the orators 10 come up to il. The
conference practically abandoned the field
proposed by Schurz in his speech at Indian
apolis. 1t will heavily react upon the party.

HON. FRANKLIN LANDERS AT SEYMOUR.
Last evening Hon. Franklin Lsnders sd-
dressed the people of Seymour and vicinity.
This speech of the Democratic candidate for
Governor we lay before our readers to-day,
and ask for ii the attention its merits de-
mand. We have no desire to overestlmate
Hon. franklin Landers, Democratic candi.
date for Governor, nor to underestimate his
opponent, Hon. A. g. Porter. Mr.. Porter is
siswyer, versed in bubbles and TECHNICAL
ties. His ambition has been to hold Office,
and his political friends rate him high as a
speaker and as a logician. Hon. franklin
Landers is a business mana practical bust
ness man, prominently identified with a
number of the business enterprises of the
State. Porter is put forth by his political
friends as a college graduate, a man of learn
ing; as an orator powerful on the stump.
His speeches are published in TIE organs of
his party. They are regarded as perfection.
We do not object to these high estimates;
on the contrary, we like them. Bat we ask the
people to read the speech of Mr.. Lsnders at
Seymour, which We publish to-day. We
invite special attention to the facts, to the ar
guments, and then we challenge comparison
with anything Mr.. Porter hs' said. Hon.
A. G. Porter, it should be understood, is sn
apostate Democrat. ALI understand the
meaning of apostssy. When CONVICTIONS
have no higher signiicancs than office, they
degrade instead of elevate. A treach
erous man is always weak; a
false and faithless man is always an object
of loathing; renegade who deserts one
camp and fees to another for Office is always
deficient in honest convictions, and when
such q man places himself before the people
for their approval he is deserving of
condemnation. Mr.. Lsnders exposes Mr..
Porter. He removes Mr.. Porter's cuticle.
He excavstes Mr.. Porter. He gibbets Mr..
Porter. He puts Mr.. Porter in the pillory.
He lifts him out Of his boots and his socks,
and lays him out a political corpse. He
bottles the Republican Porter. He corks up
the Republican beverage, Theoretically seals
IL, and labels 1t worthless All this the
Democratic candidate for Governor dots
gentseily, decently and in order. He ties
Mr.. Porter up to the Democratic whipping
post, and with cat o. nins-tail arguments
fiogs him until his friends cry
out "cruel." Lsaving Porter to
writhe, Mr.. Landers pays his
attention to the Republican party, and, it is
fair to say, that the dog fares worse than the
fieas in its hair. II Bsrgh were in Indiana,
he might prefer charges against Mr. Lsnders
for cruelty to animals. But, we ara ex.end>
ing our notice of Mr.. Laudsrs .speeeh at
Seymour to too great length. Oar purpose
was simply to invite our readers to give it
careful perussl. This done, the Justice of
our criticism will be apparent

poRTRR,s PoLITICAI. CHARLATANRY.

The evidence accumulates that the Re
publican candidate for Governor is q mere
political empiric-thoroughly versed in all
the finessee OF one who. barely comprehend
ing his own inherent weakness, seeks to
hoodwInk the honest people of Indiana by
pretentious claims OF statecraft for himself
and an honest, benefcent record for his
party. Said an old citizen, the other day,
who knows Albert G. Porter well: He
should have renamed in Washington and
allowed his friends to have made the canvass
for him. He won't wear There is not
very much of him at beat, and the more he
mingles with the people the less substantial
progress will he make for himself or for his
party" How different this is as to the esti-
mate of the character of Mr.. Landers. The
more Mr.. Landers mingles with the people,
the more is he appreciated. Said one the
other day: 81 did not intend to vote for
him, but since 1 have seen him and heard
him talk, win vote for him cheerfully."
Mr.. Landers lisa practical. active, energetic,
large Drained man. He thoroughly knows
Indiana, from the lake to the river; he
knows her people and comprehends
their interests, their manners, GUS
toms, necessities and peculiarities.
Mr.. Porter never did comprehend them
never can-never will. He is simply q
clever gentleman, and as to his professional
attainments stands perhaps a little beyond
the line of q second rate, but hardly up to
that of q first-clsss lawyer.
We distinctly assert that the Republican
candidate for Governor is political empiric
or charlatan. Here is bold. fair instance
In point. At Brazil he absolutely and IN
blushingly told his audience that the South.
ern Senators had opposed and voted against
all bills looking to soldiers pensions. When
Senator Voorhees, held a meeting o few
days later In the same County, several
OF those who had heard Mr.. Porter
make the assertion told Mr.. Voorhees,, and
asked him to contradict It. 1t 30 surprised
the Senator that he exclaimed: at is i'm
possible that any man with any brains could
make such an assertion. Gentlemen, you
certainly are mistaken" They insisted that
they were not and Immediately went out
and soon brought in several more gentlemen
who had heard Mr.. Porter make the same
remark. This satisfied Mr.. Voorhees,, and
at the meeting In Carbon, Clay County, the
SAME afternoon, gentleman who heard the
Senator, says that he never heard such a
terrible scoring given any man on the
stump as Senator Voorhees, gave Albert @.
Porter. This is one inexcusable instance of
Mr.. Porter's political ohsrlatanry-cg 20 aa n
In the same Brazil speech the same trait
of demagoey was again illustrated in the
cheeky claim that be made for the Republic

mittee, are that he agreed with Mr.. Ames 10
take ten shares OF Credit Mobiiier stock, bu.
did not pay for the same. Mr.. Ames re-
oeived the so per cent. dividend in bonds,
and sold them for 81 per cent, and also re-
ceiyed the 80 per cent. cash dividend,
which. together with the price of the stock
and interest, left balance Of 1929. This
sum was paid over Mr.. Garfield by g
check on the 6ergeant-at-Arms, and Mr..
Garfield then understood this sum was the
balance OF dividends after paying for the
stock" And, vet, N P. Banks appears in
he presence OF Garfield to perfect schemes
by which he may be placed in the exalted
office OF President. 1t is not possible for
partisan duplicity to reach profounder
depths of Infamy. Nor is this all. John
Sherman was prominent In the
Fifth Avenue Hotel Republican Con-
ference, where he met the conspirators,
and Chester A. Arthur, the Republican can
didate for Vice President John Sherman is
now trying to devise schemes to elect Ches.
ter A. Arthur to the second highest Office in
the gift of the American people. This
Chester A. Arthur was at one time. not long
ago, Collector OF the Port of New York. He
was removed for cause. What cause? Let
John Sherman tell in his own way. Here is
what be said:
Gross abuses of administration have contin-
ued and increased during your incumbency.
Persons have been regularly paid by you
who have rendered little no service; tn e
expenses of your Office have increased while
its receipts have diminished. Brides or gratu.
tiles in the shape OF brides have been received
by your subordinates in several branches of
the Custom House, and you have In no case
supported the effort to correct these abuses.
And now John Sherman seeks to make
such a man Vice President With such facts
in full view, with such documentary evil
dence before them, with such verdicts on
record, made by prominent Republican Of
ficisls, what will honest Republicans say
What will they do? Is it probable that they
will vote for such candidates? Will party
triumph over their patriotism? Verify, we
believe not.

an party in regard to ''homestesds" and the
public lands. BE claimed all the credi. for
the Republican party in having looked after
the Western pioneer and his interests. Was
there ever such sn illustration of ignorance
or political quackery? We answered Mr..
Porter few days after his Brazil speech,
calling attention to the fact that the measure
granting presumption rights to settlers on
the public lands originated with
Thomas 81. Benton, and the bill as passed
granting those rights was signed by Demo
cratic President, Andrew Jackson. The
Republican party has squsndered an i'm
mense amount of the public domain, that
is, it has giccs to railroads over 5000
600 acres of public lands-OmOunting 10
,rithta $4,000 600 acres of the entire area of the
hirtoesa original States. We understand
that Mr.. Porter has repeated this same false
statement as to homesteads elsewhere in the
State.
These are but a few illustrations of
this political empiriclsm which seems
to be the leading qualification Of the
Republican candidate for Governor.
We are glad to note that he is
making frequent speeches and an active can
vass. The more speeches he makes, the more
freely he mingles with the people, the
quicker will ne reach the end OF his political
rope, and the sooner will the people of Ia
diana come to the conclusion that he has
not the making OF Governor of Indiana in
his composition.

THAT CHALLENGE.

We publish elsewhere this morning the
challenge of Hon. A. G.. Porter to Hon.
Franklin Landers for joint canvass OF the
State. The Republican papers have been
abiding to this challenge as having been
sent several days ago. Our readers will
notice that Mr. Porters letter bears the
date of yesterday August 81, and that the
reply of Mr.. Landers bears the same date.
This invitation to JOINT canvass was
promptly answered by Mr.. Landers yester-
day as soon as received. The Republican
papers have permitted 3 great deal of
unnecessary blowing and Dragging
about this matter, and some have
minated that Mr.. Porter would annihilate
Mr.. Landers with his first effort. We have
no reply to make to this class Of braggsrts.
We say briefly to our friends throughout the
State that Mr.. Landers will bear himself
creditably and satisfactorily to his friends,
and also in such manner that his political
enemies viii not be so keen to indulge In
any future foolish bravado. One good end.
will be reached, at least, and that is, Mr..
Porter viii not probably indulge himself in
loose ard reckless statements in joint can
vass, as he has been doing during The past
two weeks.
