there is no occasion for the Pharos, or any
other Democratic paper, to utter a falsehood,
either willfully or ignorantly. The Indian
apolis Journal did not make its fight on the
issue of submission. The fight was made on
the issue of submission at special election,
and for one the Journal proposes to stand by
its position, and urges the Republicans of
the Legislature to adhere to their full pledge
made to the people. A special election was
the objective point of the whole fight on sub

Journal, having deliberately chosen its posi-

and will NOT be used by designing Democrats

that they come in circles under peculiar

so stimulated will make life safe. But at a

makes the charge through the Logansport
Journal, of which he is the editor. that the
journals of the last Legislature have been
tempered with. He says
at is further alleged by the constitution
sticklers that the Legislature of 1881 blum
dered, the purpose OF the allegation being an
excuse for an outrage upon the people in the
name of the law. The charge against the
Legislature is false, i'll part at least. The
journal of the House, as approved by the
House in accordance with the law, contained
the amendments, set forth in full, with the
vote thereon, as the letter of the constitution
requires. Possibly. if an inquiry is made it
will be found that the journal of the Senate
was, in the understanding of the Senate,
equally correct. Will it be argued that a
subsequent, or at any time, fraudulent mu-
tilation or alteration of the journals shoud
be counted as failure to perform duty,

tive acts of those bodies2"

of the party in the campaign and adds;
1.-THE Democratic party cannot be held to
accout for the action of twenty-one hide
pendent Democrats, and if the Democratic
caucus makes its record clear, the party
would not only hold the same vantage posi-
ton in 1884 that it held in 1882 but it would
have the further satisfaction arising from the
consciousness of having kept its faith with
those who came to its aid in the hour Of

THE Kokomo Gazette forcibly sums up the
present Legislature as follows:
almost every action of the present Legis-
lature, so far, has been enough to cause the
honest taxpayer and voter to blush with
shame, 1t has been guilty of revolution SO
far as to decide that the amendments are'not
legally before that body; it has stultifed
itself by repeating its own law in order to
provide places for hungry Democrats; it has
announced its intention to GUST a legally
elected SENATOR it has announced its nten-
ton to make an effort to have a new
judicial circuit made in order to pro-
vide places for officc-seekers, So far has
the Legislature gone that a prominent
member of the House arose and pub
licly announced that he was member of the
Sons of Liberty and asked the members
what they were going to do about it. 1t re-
qures eleven men at a cost of $55 day to
guard two little doors to the Senate chamber
Nearly all the Democrats in the Legislature
seem to have their whole minds and energies
set on jobs to provide offices for members of
the party. The people are not thought of.

further testified that he "never unreeled the
hose in the building to see that it was good
for anything, except at the fire two years
ago; never made an examination of the

the three men on duty could have cleared
the building in fifteen or twenty minutes
might have cried fire in the halls in five or
ten minutes; didn't hear any employee cry
fire about the building"

grossest negligence prevailed, and that at the

IHk journal puDhSheS TINS morning the
text of the argument OF Hon. Dudley Foulle,
OF Wayne county, upon the validity of the
pending constitutional amendments, and we
commend it to a careful reading of all those
who desire an intelligent reason for the faith
that is in them. The speeches of Messrs
Bundy and Foulke cover completely the
legal questions involved while those of
Senator Spann and others give the political
phases OF the matter The Journal has given
up largely OF its space to the discussion OF
this question, because among other reasons,
we have believed the people of the State to be
vitality interested in it, The Republicans of
Indiana are to be congratulated upon the
able and satisfactory manner in which the
position of the party has been vindicated,
and we feel warranted in assuring them that
whatever may develop in the future, the
interests of the party and the people will be
intelligcntly and faithfully taken care of
Any further discussion Of the legal issues
can be, in the nature of the case, only cumu-
lative, and for that reason the arguments of
Messrs, Foulke and Bundy have been printed,
as representative and conclusive.

the constitutional amendments? We quote
few of the more salient paragraphs, indi-
eating the state Of unrest in which the Dem
ocratc party finds itself now over an issue
which last spring and summer it was SO
ANXIOUS to assume and so bumptious in adj
vocating. 1t says:
mo one will deny that submission was the
issue upon which the campaign of 1882 was
fought. The Democratic State platform was
equiyOcal upon the subject, the object of the
gentlemen who framed it clearly having been
to insert plank that could be construed
either for or against submission. BY some
strange fatality Democratic platforms in In
diana almost invariably treat the issue in
which the people are most interested in this
way. The object is to harmonic the ele
ments,' as it is called, thereby bringing Dem
ocrats who differ in opinion to the support
OF the party ticket The Republicans were
more honest in declaring their sentiments,
and came out bluntlv not only for submits
sion, but for submission at a special cleo
