While the press and public opinion

governor the Wdtchman, the Picnic,
and, possibly, few individuals here
and there are clamoring for keeping
the canvass open. What does this
mean? If there is better material and
they know it, why not speak out?
For some time it has been understood
that there were some who thought
Judge Poland would be the best man
for governor for the years 1884-5,
and they have thrown out some feel
ers with view to ascertain what
public sentiment is on that phase of
the governor question. 1t is doubt
less true that the Wdtcbmdn has had
this in view, hoping that the canvass
might assume such a condition as tc
make it possible to start the Judge
as the compromise or dark horse can.

The movement to reinstate Gen.
John G. Fremont IN the regular army,
is commanding the attention and APP
prevail of many of the influential jour
nails as well as his many admirers
among the people. The country owes
Gen. Fremont more of gratitude than
it can repay in assigning him to the
position mentioned. His services,
the written chapters of which read
like romance, have been of incalcula-
BILE value TO the pioneers beyond the
Mississippi, and his discoveries have
added largely to our knowledge of
our country and the perfection of its
maps. His whole career is essential
ly American, for in his restlessness
and courage; his strategy in over
coming apparent impossibilities; his
energy and perseverance under great
trials and hardships he has represent
ed the American character and made
his impress upon two generations.
We hope the ''great pathfnder's"
last days will be complete in happi-
ness, and the sunset of his life with
ont a shadow.

THE DEFEATED TARIFF
MEASURE.

Since the democrats came into ma
jority in the House they have been
expected to perfect and carry forward
some measure that should cause q re-
duction in the revenues of govern
ment. The internal revenues of the
country exceed the expenditures by
about 500, 900, 000-a sum conceded
by both parties to be too large. The
last congress passed an act which
was expected to make quite a large
reduction, but so great has been the
gain in importation, that the revenues
have fallen only slightly. At the
opening of this session of congress it
was announced that the democratic
House would at once bring in a bill
that would effect the object sought,
while it would embody the principles
of that party on the question Of the
tariff. Not long after the holiday
season was over representative Nor
rison, a so-called "tariff reformer, .
introduced a bill that proposed re-
duction of 20 per cent on all dubit-
able goods; this with some slight
notifications was the measure that
the party, except, as it proved, a lit
tie over forty, put into the contest
which has been the most important
in congress during the term. Elk
speaker Randall and other democrats
who represented manufacturing dis
tricts, were opposed to the measure
and voted with the republicans in de
feating it. The vote was very clos,
-159 to 124. Only four republic
ans voted for the measure, these from
Minnesota. The republicans oppos
ed the measure, first because its pro
vision was free trade, or nearly that

manufacture that to-day, under the
tariff are the products of this country,
while under the bill that would be
made and grown in foreign countries.
In other words the bill would do
great harm to the agricultural, as well
as to the manufacturing interests of
the country. The bill was open TO
criticism in the fact that it made an
arbitrary reduction, without taking
up separately each article on which a
duty is levied and seeing whether for
all interests The duty could be reduc-
ed. We give below the reasons urg-
ed by Mr.. Randall as sufficient to
cause him and the forty other demo-
Gratis to vote against this measure !:
He opened by stating the extreme
quickness with which capital invest
ed in large industrial establishments
took alarm to advertise criticism,
while in common with all other inter-
ests it was liable to be called on in
taxation to aid in the support of the
government. Congress owed it to it.
self that nothing like q vindictive
policy should be adopted. For one,
he was emphatically opposed to any
such suicidal policy. / would be
madness for any party to pursue it.
1t was submitted to every members
judgment to apply the heroic remedy
to this bill or to let it linger out a
sickly existence, bearing in its wake
business confusion and general bank
ruptcy. 1t was not based on any
sound principle. There had been
apologies for it, but no defence. II
was guessed that it might reduce the
surplus revenue, but nobody pretend
ed to speak with certainty. There
was no attempt for the adjustment OF
the tariff. It sliced, reckless of the
injury it might do to certain interests
and industries, as well as to the rev.
enue. It was like the famous bed OF
the old robber. If man was toe
small he was stretched out to its in
| exorable length if too long he wa:
cut down to fit it. 1t was a thing O
measurement, and not a wise scheme
of reduction. A horizontal reduction
afforded no remedy. On the contra
~, it made worse what was bad be
fore. 1t was Il palpable confession
of inability to handle the lntricat
problem at issue, or else a rash ca
| gerness to do what was at once un
called for, unwise and unfortunate
1t appeared to be agitation only 70
the sake of agitation-always q mis-
take.

AN ELECTORAL STUDY.

There are 401 electoral votes to be
divided between the parties, POP be-
ing 4 majority. The democrats see
their way easily to the electoral vote
of these states Alabama, 10; Ar
kansas, Z; Delaware, 3; Florida, 4:
Georgia, 80; Kentucky, 10; Louisi-
ana, s; Maryland, 81 Mississippi,
8; Missouri, 1G; North Carolina, II
South Carolina, 8; Tennessee, u;
Texas, 10; West Virginia, 6; Total
142.
Thus, at the outset, the democrats
are within sixty of a majority, and
votes may be conceded to them.
On the other hand, these electoral
votes can properly be assumed to he
insured to the republicans ;-Colora-
do. 3; Illinois, %; Iowa, 10; Kan
sas, 6; Maine, 6; Massachusetts.
IA; Michigan, 10; Minnesota, Z ;
Nevada, 3; Nebraska. ); New Hamp-
shire, 4 -; Oregon, 3; Pennsylvania,
80; Rhode Island, +; Vermont, 4 ;
Wisconsin, II Total, 151.
There are then, these doubtful
states, although, with regard to Con-
necticut and Ohio, republicans will
not admit that the uncertainty is
enough to cause anxiety-namely
California, s; Connecticut, 6; Indi.
ana, Is; New Jersey, 8; New York
Sc; Ohio, %; Virginia, p; Total
100.
The republicans, in the table, lack
ing ffty-one electoral votes of the re
quired POP, could secure a majorit,
without New York and Indiana, i
they carried Ohio, California, Con
necticut, New Jersey and Virginia
These states would give them fifty
eight votes, or seven more than th
number needed. 1t thus appears tia
while New York is an exceedingl
important state. it would not be il
dispensable under the condition
named, though it would not be SAT
to trust entirely to the chance of sue
good fortune The democrats, on ii
contrary, starting in the table wit
142 votes, could get their needed sil
ty votes by success in New Yorl
Indiana and Virginia, where the col
test is sure to be sharp. As the ii
eeytiSer says, these tables emphasi:
the proposition, which cannot be +
iterated, that the chances of the ca
vass, while at present in favor of Il
republicans, will doubtless turn on
republican nomination which, viii
keeping the certain" states in lin
will invite enough support from t
''doubtful' states to bring success
1t is fortunate, furthermore, for
country that parties are so even
balanced, and it is folly for par
managers to forget the narrow M
gin which divides the aggregate N
jorities.

All COUNTY INVESTIGATING
COMMITTEE

The report of the senate commit
tee which investigated the Copiah
county (Miss.) troubles, signed by
five republican members of the COM
mittee, was submitted to the senate
recently. In reference to the elec-
ton in that county in 1888, the COM
mittee conclude that q conspiracy,
organized by representative young
democrats with the countenance of
that party in Copiah was entered into
to drive their opponents from the
polls. To that end the mob was gath
cred and systematic outrages perpe-
trated, ending in murder, one of the
victims being a wealthy and general
| ly respected white man. During the
whole time that these offences were
going on the democratic state and
county officers remained passive and
thus allowed the election to be turned
into mockery. The committee rec
ommend the publication for the use
of American people, of the testimony
they have taken. They further rec
ommend the passage of senate bill
number 10, designed to furnish a
remedy for some Of the evils disclosed.
They further recommend that after
the next election in Mississippi, un-
less the same shall be unquestionably
fair and free, there shall be a full in
vestigation of the condition of things
in that state with view to determine
ing the question whether republican
government exists there and whethc
it is entitled to its existing represent
alton, OF has forfeited it in whole o
in part, by reason of the denial or in
fringement of the right to vote of an.
portion of its people.

comparatively local. On his objection an amend
ment which had been proposed by Senator
Ramsey, relative to a grant to the Winona
& St Peter road, was rejected, and then the
bill was passed without opposition. On the
same day the Senate took up and passed. with
out a division, the bill of the House to double
the grant made in 1862 to the Union and Central
Pacific railroads. The grant of lands in these
two bills amounted to about 600 900 acres.
MIR. HENDRICRS ACTIVELY SUPPORTED THE oNE,

Mr.. Hendricks, during his service in the House.
prior to 1864, voted for quite a number of land
grant bills which then became laws. If neces-
sary, q statement of them could be made up
from the records. His action as Commissioner
of the General Land Office during the Pierce
administration, from 1852 to 1886, shows that he
was in hearty sympathy with that policy.

of the party to organize, bearing the motto Our

printed in San Francisco and devoted to the
cause of equal rights.
Visitors began to come in to extend eongratu-
lations and talk over prospects of election, and
soon the candidate herself rolled up to the door
in her trycicle and entered the Office with a
d~aUntless air, as though she snutfed victory afar
oil. BY this time there were preachers, lawyers
and women's rights women present to the over
flowing of the office, and she was heartily con
gratulated by all. Mrs. Lockwood did no tspeak
of q possibility of her election, but is confident
that her candidacy will make the cause of
woman s rights more conspicuous than ever be

Correspondence Of the indianapolis journal.
XENIA, Oct. 8-Hon. John NJ. Butler, of In
dianapolis, spoke here to an audience vast i'll
numbers and strong in intelligence, and for
more than two hours he held his audience by
mastery eloquence and convincing argument.
1t was the grandest speech yet made in these
parts, and did more to harmonic and establish
Republicanism than any other yet made.
Altar Mr.. Butler had concluded his speech, the
committee appointed to award the flag to the
largest delegation came forward and announced
that they had decided that jackson township,
Howard county, was entitled to the award.
Hon. Hiram Brownlee, of Marion, on behalf of
the Xenia club, made the presentation speech,
which was responded to on behalf of jackson
township by Hon. Milton Guarrus. of Kokomo.
Both speeches were well delivered and to the
point. TO make a fair estimate of the number
present the writer talked with a number
OF gentlemen whose judgment may be relied
upon, and who ali agree that there were between
5000 and 5000 people. From the enthusiasm
manifested one would judge that the people of
his part Of the county are aroused as never be-
fore.
All night there was a street parade by the
Nenia Club, the Peru Escort Guards, and the
Plug hat Brigade, which made a fine appearance.
The City Hall was filed with an enthusiastic
audience that listened to a speech from Hon.
George w. Steel, candidate for Congress. Mr.,
Steels speech was one of the best efforts, and
gave general satisfaction. After the conclusion
of Mr.. Steels speech, Hon. Hiram Isrownlee, of
Marion, candidate for the State Legislature from
Grant county, came foreward and made a rat
Ting speech.
