THE following paragraph from the Gin
cinnati Enquirer is not only significant just
now, but has a local interest in addition to
its general importance:
Mr. Tilden is a statesman and reformer of
official achievements in the Empire State of
the Union, and aparty leader of great power.
Mr.. Hendricks is a representative Democrat
OF a State which is of towering consequence
in a presidential election. Til1en and Hen
bricks, in addition to being men of states
manlike proportions, and giants of Democ-
racy, have the fraud issue before them,
and it Is livelier than it was four years ago.
These considerations will weigh powerfully
with the national convention. unless an I'M
accountable revolution in public sentiment
takes place within the next half year"

divided country nor a divided people
on sectional lines. The Democratic party
has encouraged the former and consents to
the latter as a desperate means of political
success. There is, then, an unpleasant ne
cessity before all citizens who would like to
see justice prevail and the colored man &C.
corded his rights under the constitution. 1t
is to oppose a solid South with a solid
North until such time as the people OF the
former section shall rise above narrow preju-
dice, and shall become generous and just
enough TO present a free ballot-box to all cit
zens, regardless of race or color.

THE Shelbyville Volunteer thinks there
can be no permanent peace in the Old
Dominion until parties resume their
normal relations" This is the opinion
entertained by every Democratic murderer
in Virginia. THE normal relation of
parties in Virginia is easily understood;
and when colored men are either all killed,
or intimidated into absolute subsection, so
they will never more trouble the superior
white race with the impertinent desire to be
freemen or to vote, there will come "a
permanent peace" General Suvaroff tele-
graphed on one occasion, "Order reigns in
Warsaw" "Order' will reign in the Old
Dominion by similar treatment.

THE Vincennes Sun, a Democratic news
paper of both ability and independence, fol-
lows the S%helbyville Democrat in telling the
truth as to the hopeless condition of its
party. 1t says:
The attitude of the Democratic party to-
day is anything but a pleasant one. 1t is en-
numbered and surrounded by embarrass-
ments which apparently are more discourag-
and this because of the fact that with entire
harmony success is probable, but with the
existing discord, and the fear of unfortunate
legislation in Congress on financial and rev.
enue matters, its national ascendency is
wholly dependent upon its ability to steer
clear of all entangling alliances, and to show
the country that it can be trusted by its bust
ness interests.N

"To those acquainted with Virginia poll
tics, and knowing the intense feeling caused
by the methods of Malone and his crowd,
the only wonder is that there was not a
dreadful war of races, accompanied by blood
shed all over the State both during and be-
fore the late election. There can be no per-
manent peace in the Die Dominion until
parties resume their normal relations, which
will come with the total overthrow of Ma
honeism. "-Shelbyville Volunteer.
This is very good. The methods of Ma
hone" did very much. no doubt, to bring on
"a war of races" if white Democrats are to
be believed. Yet "the methods" of the DEM
ocratic murderers, who shot down negroes at
Danville and elsewhere, contributed some
what, as it seems to us, and possibly even
the Volunteer would not be hardy enough to
enter a denial. "The normal condition OF
parties" according to the Democratic idea.
is for the white people to do the voting OF
the shooting, and for the colored people to
stay away from the polls or do the dying,
With such a normal condition" everything
is lovely in Democratic eyes, and the result
is greeted with bands, banners, professions
and sDeeches.

THE article in the Journal yesterday upon
the insurance compact attracted a good deal
of attention in insurance and business
circles, and from the number of commenda-
tons which reached us during the day it is
evident that in the main what the Journal
said was not only eminently true, but that
it was greatly needed to be said. Objec-
ton and revolt against the compact system,
or against the manner in which the compact
has been enforced, does not mean an indorse-
ment of irregular or illegal methods of in
Surance. The people of Indianapolis do not
want insurance that will not insure; they
want insurance, aud they are willing to pay
fairly for a good article, for the substance
and not the shadow. The insurance
law, passed over the protests of the
companies and for the protection of the peo-
pie, must be upheld, and any man or.men
who violate it, either as principal or access
series, should be vigorously prosecuted, to
the end that insurance may be kept legal,
and therefore valid, and that the State shall
not again become the prey of all manner of
insurance sharks. But the compact COM
panies shoul not add g~rievous and unneces-
sary burdens to the backs of their customers.
indianapolis is a safe and profitable insur-
ance city. The fact that one large fire has
occurred here in a score of years-the
Kingan ~pork-house-is no excuse for unfair
ness in rates or unfairness and irksome-
ness in methods. The wide streets, the
efficient fire department, the high character
of our business men and manufacturers all
these things combine to make insurance
proftab BILE in Indianapolis, and the citizens
and taxpayers of the city are entitled to the
benefit of these advantages in lower rates of
insurance, and should not be compelled to
pay extra rates in order to make up loses
sustained in other less favored places. We
are quite sure that the general managers Of
insurance companies will desire to arrange
matters on a satisfactory basis with their In
diana patrons, and they know it is not salts
factory now. If the compact cannot be
made more adjustable, then the remedy will
ZONE in increased business to companies not
of the association, who, thoroughly comply
ing with the State law, will afford legal and
safe insurance to our people.

ut is enough to make a horse laugh" to see
the Louisville Courier-Journal defending its
pet candidate for Speaker, Mr.. Carlisle, from
the awful charge of being in favor of free
trade. This change of front is significant
significant OF the fact that Mr.. Watterson has
concluded that Mr.. Randall has much more
strength than he supposed, and also Of the
fact that the able editor recognizes that the
overwhelming sentiment of the country is
against any tinkering with the tariff by the
free-trade doctors. This is what the Courier
Journal says of Mr.. Carlisle;

revenue tariff, and has never been an adyo-

THE Chicago Herald, OF yesterday, has a
sensational article upon the alleged removal
of the remains Of Abraham Lincoln from the
~sarcophasus and crypt OF the monument at
Springfield; and the regular press dispatches
of last night sent out an extract from the
Herald's article to the papers of the country.
On the 18th of April, 1888, just seven months
ago the indianapolis Journal published a
full account of the affair. from its Springfield
correspondent, to the extent ola column and
a half. The Herald's matter is a very poor
and partial rehash OF the Journals special.

THE Democratic victory C) in the State of
New Jersey is not so terrible a thing after all.
New Jersey is generally, and has been for
years, a Democratic State. A dispatch from
Trenton says: The discovery of an error in
the announcement of the official vote of
Hudson county reduces Abhett's plurality to
$3.50, and leaves him in a minority OF 105 on
the whole vote, without counting the miss
ing Greenback votes in Bergen, the Prohibi-
ton votes in Cumberland, and the Prohibit
ton and Greenback votes in Hudson" A
minority of 105 votes in a State which Mr..
Tilden carried by a plurality of IL, 1856, and
which General Mcclellan, in 1877, carried by
a plurality OF 10, 743 and an absolute major
ity of s, TAT, is scarcely sufficient to warrant
the Democratic newspapers in bringing out
their fall chickens. The figures show that
New Jersey is anybody's State when the full
vote is out. 1t is one of the "doubtful7
States, with a tendency toward Democracy.

JOHN ANKETELL, of New York city, is a
cheerful political thug. He cards the World
to suggest a very pretty plan for 1884. He
says:
THE Southern States, with California, In
diana, New Jersey and Ohio, constitute a
majority of the electoral college. California,
Indiana, New Jersey and Ohio all have Dem
ocratic Legislatures, which could pass a law
providing for the choice of electors by the
Legislature. If this were done the problem
of 1884 would be solved in advance"
Republicans would probably nave no OBJ
lection to such a coup d'etat, but, unfortu-
nately for Mr.. Anketell's little scheme, the
Indiana Legislature that could take a hand
in such a trick will not be elected until No
vember next, when presidential electors will
also be chosen. 1t is by no means certain
that that body will be Democratic. The
party that sought to steal the vote of Oregon
and to purchase that Of Florida would not
hesitate to undertake this. The idea is
worthy the head of the "old ticket"

THE Pennsylvania Legislature, after a five
months extra session, has decided to adj
iourn in a week or two, or whenever the ap-
preparation bill is passed. The expenses of
this session having been more than half a

pedited by simply voting to appropriate
whatever is left in the State treasury.

THERE is something oninous about the spc-
radio cases of conscience that are developing in
New York. New Workers are repenting aud pre-
pairing to die at a rate which promises to depopu-
late the State. The last case reported is that of
a laborer who, twenty years ago, stole a box of
jewelry and family heirlooms from his employer.
The employer is dead, but last week his daugh-
ter received a letter informing her that if she
would dig on the north side of the big oak tree
where she had the Sunday-school picnic she
would find the box. The writer concluded by
saying: 81 am diem OF consumpyun IN, aud coad
not die until 1 told yeu."

GOVERNOR BEGoLE, of Michigan, elected as
q Greenback-D Democrat reformer, on an anti
railroad-pass platform, has been convicted of
not only accepting, but actually soliciting
and using, a 500-mile pass. When it was ex-
hausted he sent for another for himself and
one for his wife, The corrupt railway mo-
nopoly sent him but one pass, and it is pos
sible that Mrs. Begole will have to count

theoretical matter. AS a practical thing
there is little danger that any one State will
ever be called upon to furnish both Presi-
dent and Vice-president. If there had been
any likelihood of such an event, Ohio would
have done it lone AGO.

WE have good reason to know that the
chances for the holding of the national Re.
publican convention in indianapolis are
good if proper assurances can be given the
national committee of a suitable building or
hall in which to hold it. This is certainly a
matter of great importance to the city, and
should at once engage the earnest and prac-
teal attention of our people. There is no
hall OF sufficient size, and 1t would seem that
the building of a temporary structure for
the convention on the north side of the
Courthouse square, entrance on Delaware
street, could be easily arranged for. For
probably $1,000 a wigwam could be
built which would much better accommo-
date the convention than did the old barn
like Exposition building in Cincinnati in
1876. II was a wigwam in which Abraham
Lincoln was first nominated in 1860, and q
wigwam in Indianapolis for the nomination
of the President of the United States for the
next ensuing term would be within the pro.
~prieties and unities OF the occasion. This is
not necessarily a partisan matter. 1t is one
in which all citizens and business men are
interested alike. The national con-
~vention in indianapolis means all
important and valuable advertisement
to the city, to say nothing
of the immediate benefits to result from the
presence of so tremendous an outpouring of
people as would be here. Shall an effort be
made to secure it? As stated, the chances of
the city are first rate. Ii the promise of a
suitable and comfortable wigwam can be
made good to the national committee, we re-
peat there is reason to believe that the Sc
lection of indianapolis is quite within the
possibilities. What shall be done? Would
it not be proper for the governors of the
Board of Trade to take the initial step?
