Leading Republican papers at that
time were very bitter against Garfield
for his participation in the corrupt job.
The n. Y. Times claimed that the Com
mittee acted foolishly when it found
Garfield and others guilty but recon-
mended no punishment.
Tho Albany Ereniag journal, the
leading New York Republican organ
outside Of the city, said
"Mr. Dawes emerges with complete

The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-02-21
The SATURDAY. Press.

A somewhat piquant article under
the above heading, embracing ra
ther cursory and sarcastic review of
most of our Saturday papers and their
editors, appeared in last Sundays
Journal, presumably from the pen of
the distinguished gentleman and Jour-
nalist who, until quite recently, pre-
sided over the editorial columns of
the Saturday Herald so ably, and who
IS now the editor of the Sunday Jour-
nal. We say, "most of our Saturday
papers" for the reason that while the
article referred to notices papers which
have been dead for years and others
which never had any circulation
while in existence, it fails even so
much as to mention the name of The
Leader, a paper which not only has
large circulation in this city and State,
but which has an extensive circle of
readers in Ohio, Kentucky and Hi
nois, together with subscribers all
over the country. With all due re-
spect for the able management of the
Sunday Journal, we desire to say to
that paper, that review of the "Sat-
urday Press without mentioning The
Leader, is very like unto the presen-
tation of the celebrated drama of
Richelieu, with the character of the
able and versatile cardinal omitted
from the cast. Upon mature consid-
efation, and closer perusal of the
columns of our paper the Journal
will readily discover the truth of the
foregoing remark.

will 90 to the polls and vote the
straight Democratic ticket; or in lieu
of this, they agree to "do the busi-
ness for enough Republicans to keep
the Democrats in majority, if the
latter will only drive them into the
swamps, where they can get at them.
The Florida Democrats in fulfill
ment of their part of the treaty agree
to act as referee between the Sharks
and Alligators, to decide all points of
difference that may arise between
them. They also agreed to appoint an
exodus committee to wait on Senator
Voorhees,, to secure his tremendous
influence in favor of having the Gov
ernment station fleet of war vessels
off the coast of Florida, to drive back
and destroy the advancing avalanche
of Arctic vandals, who, if left alone,
will reduce the sharks to starvation,
and eventually swallow them. They
further agree to afford the aIligators
every opportunity to ''get in their
work" in the everglades and bayous;
to shoot as many Republicans as they
can, and let their bodies float out to
sea for the ben nefit Of the sharks, A
law is also to be passed by the Florida
Legislature allowing the alligators to
vote, provided they vote the Demo
cratic ticket, straight. In defense of
all the foregoing stipulations they
agree to Idle in the last ditch, if me-
cessary. The treaty is to be in full
force from and after it's ratification by
each of the contracting powers.

INDIANAPOLIS IND, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 81, $780,

GUS applications for laborers from diff
ferent parts of the State which they
have been utterly unable to fill. An
important fact to be noticed in this
connection is that when immigrants
have arrived the committees have
not found it necessary to send out
agents to find them homes. The
simple announcement in the
papers of the arrival of
a company of immigrants brought
the farmers from the adjacent country
to the city and numerous applications
for laborers from distant points, so
that all have fehnd employment
within very fewfays after their ar
rival. In many cases Democrats,
themselves, have employed immi-
grants, paying ne attention to the
rawlings of the pothouse politicians of
their party. 1t is simply matter of
business with the hefafmers and business
men of Indiana: They need laborers,
these men suit and they employ them.
The sick have been cared for and the
are loud in their praise of
the hospitality of she people of Indi-
ana. Again we say that the stories
about the suffering of immigrants to
this State, are falsehoods Of the most
barefaced charactef and for the truth
fulness of our statement we appeal to
the respectable, truthful people of In
diana, who know the facts.

A WHALE STORY.
Work for the "Exodious'' Commit
tee

Recent advices from a trustworthy
source confirm the previous report of
the appearance of number of arctic
whales off the coast of Florida. 1t
is said they all came in a body, and
are acting in manner quite myste-
rious to the sharks and alligators, the
older residents in that vicinity; and
the general opinion among these
dwellers in that portion of the "briny
Deep" is that these Northern stran-
gers are but the advance guard Of a
vast horde of arctic ''sea hosses,'
whose intention it is to locate in that
vicinity, and compete with them in
the swallowing of dead sailors who
are thrown overheard. There is, con-
sequently, intense Indignation among
the sharks, who will be most sensibly
affected by the settlement of pauper
whales in that vicinity, and there are
fears that rash counsel among their
younger and more hotheaded leaders
may result in bloodshed should the
whales persist in locating there.
There is no doubt whatever that it
will cause complete revolution i'll
the political sentiment of the sharks,
which has heretofore been tending
toward liberalism and broad views of
marine freedom and equality. 1t is
now almost certain that the conserva-
tive party will sweep all sharkdom
with an overwhelming majority at
the next election.
The latest phase of the complica-
tion is that the sharks, alligators and
Democrats of Florida have entered
into triple alliance, offensive and
defensive, by which they agree to
pool their grievances and act as unit
for the relief of all the signatory par
ties 70 the protocol. By the terms
of the treaty, all parties bind them
selves to unalterable opposition to
the settlement Of arctic whales in the
portion of the Atlantic adjacent to
Florida. All agree to resist it by
force of arms, if necessary. Ii is
stipulated that the sharks shall confine
their forays for subsistence to deep
water, and shall swallow none but
dead marines, or shipwrecked people
whom they may pick up at sea. They
bind themselves not to enter inland
waters; and solemnly agree to main.
| tain by force of arms the rights and
privileges of the other consignatory
| parties, to be hereinafter stated.
The alligators, in pursuance of the
terms of the treaty, agree to turn
over all dead fioaters to the sharks
and depend for a living upon the
"small fry" Of the coast and inland
waters, together with the "moonshin
ers," whom the revenue officers drive
into the swamps; the bull-dozed
| Southern Republicans, whom th'
peaceful Democrats. drive from theil
homes, and other unfortunate people
upon whom they may steal unawares

Letter from Washington.

WAsHlsGTuS. ID. e., July II, 1850.
One Of the Democratic demands in this
campaign Is for home rule ee-ballot
and the subordina,ion Of the military 10 the
civil power. These are excellent cries with
which to arouse a down-,rodden race Of
people, but | don't think they will have
much weight, or arouse much enthusiasm
among the voters Of this Republic, and es-
pecially those they are intended for, viz :
the laboring class. Under the manage
ment Of the Republican party the condition
Of the working man is better than any other
country on the globe, wages ERE higher, and
the hours OF labor less. The Republican
party has, by wise protection TO its manu-
features, encouraged home industries. and
protected the nottingham from dangerous
competition with cheap labor abroad, and
yet the Democratic party with lis record Of
free trade. hopes to blind the laborer from a
knowledge Of their true doctrines, BY hol-
low cries of "home rule" and free ballot.
Where is il in this country tina; home rule
is not employed? Where but in the Demo
cratic South is the free ballot denied. And
do tell Us. is there any complaint tina, the
military Is not subordinate to the civil
power.
To the intelligent Democrat who is aware
Of the fact that his party has no openly
avowed principles, or healthy issues. these
cries seem well calculated to catch the ear.
and gain the allegiance of the un,hinking
voter. But when it is too late they will re-
alize their mistake.
While the Democrats are claiming Access
sions to their ranks Of prominent Republi-
cans, how often do they publish the names
Of those who desert their camp. We hear
| Of numberless Democrats chiefly business
men, leaving for Garfield. The latest is Judge
Orion of Wisconsin. a life long Democrat
General Grant has had offered him and
has declined, the Presidency Of the Ameri-
can branch of the De Lessep. Canal Com
| pany. His reasons are that the scheme
cannot be completed during his life. and
probably not during those of his friends,
who might put money into il, and never re-
e-iye returns therefrom. How much better
