the bottom Of a lake Of ten square miles, ten
feet deep. These very enterprising glory
makers were Michael G. Bright and John r.
Dunn, one previously Democratic State agent,
the other Democratic State Auditor The
chief remaining polishers Of Democratic rusti-
ness into resplendence were Ashbel T.
Willard, Democratic Governor; James 2.
Drake, Democratic State Treasurer; Phineas
M Kent, Democratic member of the glorious
constitutional convention of 1850 from Floyd
county; Col Allen May Democratic
State agent, and Joseph Merkle Demo
cratic Swamp-land Commissioner for
Jasper county. He was sued on his bond for
swindling the State and the schools, and Gov
ernor Willard dismissed the suit These
facts are all Of record. DR. Norman Eddy,
a Democrat, who wasn't largely interested in
the GLORY business, made an investigation
of these brilliant Democratic operations, and
reported in 1861 the various articles fire.
ouently called frauds and 'swindles' by
those who have no appreciation Of glory of the
Democratic kindly which this particular
spot Of undying Democratic lustre was brought
to its full splendor, such as advance con-
tracts, and sham ditching,g and similar
contrivanees.
In 1851 the appropriations having failed,
the Democratic Governor, Willard backed by
the whole press and party, refused to call the
Legislature together in extra session to obtain
appropriations, and refused to borrow money
to keep open the benevolent institutions which
Mr.. Voorhees, CLOVIS over with fond but be-
lated alteration. He thought the chance of
making party glory and capital by the ruin Of
the institutions too good to waste. So he
closed them all, left such of the inmates as
could get home to go home and such as
couldn't to go to Jail and poor-house. Most
Of the insane went to jail, it was said at the
time, though probably half or more went to
poor-houses. A few counties kept theirs in
the asylum by their own friends Finding
that Democratic glory did not pile up extern
sively by this operation the Governor Dor
rowed money Of the sinking fund and opened
the asylums in three or four months. He had
no appropriations then, and could have Dor,
rowed the money four months before as easily
and cheaply as he did after he had broken up
the institutions for the manufacture Of Demo
cratic glory.

THE Springfield Republican is a journal of
assumed lofty morality, and reform organ
which insisted, before its own candidates true
character was disclosed, that the issue Of the
campaign was that Of the personal integrity of
the presidential nominees. The Republican
shows the hollowness of its assumption of viz
tue by delicately apologizing for Mr.. Cleve-
lands sin in the following language
Men are not nominated for the presidency
for their domestic relations, although those
are assumed to be proper but for their states
manlike abilities, their integrity their fearless
courage and their clear perception Of the peo-
pies interests, as distinct from their own per
fSnal ends When the inquest into character
Goes back Of this into the domain of mans
sexual relations, it goes where the only certain
thing is that innocent hearts will be filled with
-wretchedness and that the truth Of motive
and of action must ultimately be left between
the private conscience and its God, where
Jesus Christ left it when he rebuked the crowd
who pursued Mary Magdalene It was on the
money changers in the temple that he used
the whip"
The New York Independent which was at
first an equally strong advocate Of Cleveland,
says after an Investigation which investigated

Of character. We repudiate with contempt
the doctrine that public mans private life IS
not to be inquired into. The condi-
lions have wholly changed since the independ-
ant conference. Then we were ready with

Morton had to borrow money to carry on both,
to keep up the schools and benevolent institu-
tions which the Democracy had gloriously
abandoned, and pay the State debt interest to
avert the ruinous odium, or Democratic
glory Of reputation. Governor Morton got
the money to pay that interest but General
John G. Walker would not take it or pay it
out The Democratic Supreme Court held
that it could not be paid by anybody without
an appropriation. An agreed case went to the
Supreme Court from the Circuit Court Of this
county, the process and final Judgment all
fully understood in advance, and went so late
that it was thought impossible for Governor
Morton to make the payment at the stipulated
time. But he did it without Mr.. Dem
ocrat Walkers help. The Circuit Court,
Judge F. M. Finch presiding, had the agreed
case before it, and still held it open, when the
Democratic lawyers deceived the county clerk
with brilliant Democratic statement that
the case had been decided, which Judge
Finch over his own name, in the journal Of
the next day, pronounced fraud, and then
got a record made, and transcript before the
fully advised Democratic Supreme Court, fol
lowed promptly by decision, which, as be-
fore remarked, seemed to force Governor Nor
ton to fail in payment Of the States interest
and compel the State to go into bankruptcy.
The Governor, though, was not that sort Of
man; he paid the interest, carried on the civil
government held up the military work faith
fully, and finally smashed the Sons Of Liberty
and came precious near hanging half-dozen
of them. Now, Eas one star dlffereth from
another in glory" it may be that this last is
the more resplendent of the Democratic con-
stellation Of glories; but there be many who
will think Stover's achievement quite as
brilliant, and neither of them inferior to the
blaze Of honor that rises magnifcently over
all the swamp lands to illumine the name and
record of the Indiana Democracy forever.

real enthusiasm to support the tried and, as
we then believed, honest reformer, Grover
Cleveland Now, without one word IN dero-
CATION of his record as Governor of this State,
our enthusiasm is wiped out by the discovery
Of the acknowledged and awful facts
To stand still now, or attempt to go bllndly
forward with the present ticket would, IN our
judgment, be an insult to the Ruler OF NATIONS,
sure death to the Democratic party, including
also its leaders, and an everlasting disgrace to
the Republic
1t was not, it may be supposed, pleasant
confession to make; but right-minded people
everywhere will applaud such frank acknowl-
edgment of error and will not be slow to
recognize the vast difference between the soph-
istries of the Republican and the out-spoken
honesty of the religious Journal. Honesty is
the best policy, even in reform politics, though
many are slow to discover the fact.

LIKE most of the violently independent or
gans, the Boston Herald can warp the truth
and hide its convictions but there is line
beyond which it cannot go, and it admits that
Cleveland made a mistake in not discussing
the tariff. It is reluctant admission, but in
frankness and honesty is several degrees in
advance Of its independent contemporaries
which affect to discover evidences of states

In January, 1858, when the school system
was moving along steadily and benefcently,
largely supported by local taxes assessed by
authority of a popular vote, the Democratic
Supreme Court took up case involving the
constitutionality Of the local tax and held it
unconstitutional, as an infraction of the pro
vision for uniform system Of education
The local tax varied in amount in different 10.
calities, though assessed under the same law
and applied to the same system. On this pre-
text, the brilliance of which the Democracy
has somehow felt disinclined to boast of fire.
quently, the party's court, with the party s
unanimous applause, destroyed the local tax
and killed every effective school in the State
but those of Evansville, which were main
tanned by special charter provision. The
glory Of this act remains to this day, but its
direct effect lasted only four or five years. 1t
took that long to overcome the paralysis of so
glorious a prostration.

About the time the Democratic Supreme
Court was joyously and brilliantly butchering
the free schools the Democratic State Agent,
Mr.. Daniel C. Slower, nephew of Joseph 3.
Mcdonald much larger contributor to the
peculiar glory of the party than his uncle,
however, for the latter has never been known
to cheat anybody, or to profit by anybody
elses cheat-was carrying on the most distin-
guished or brilliant transaction in State stocks
ever attempted. He held several volumes of
blank bonds, signed and sealed, and lacking
only his own signature to be complete and
negotiable, to give to the purchasers Of bonds in
place of those purchased, the State preferring
to issue new ones at each sale to having the
old passing from hand to hand. Mr. Demo
cratic Agent Slower signed some 81, 300, 900 of
these bonds and used them as collaterals of
loans made from New York banks Winslow,
Lanier & Co. discovered traces of this most
Respondent of all Democratic honors, and told
Governor Morton, in the summer Of 1862
He and the editor of the journal at that time,
with Colonel Hudson, then State Agent went
to New York and began to press little warmly
for the observation of this rather conspicuous
glare Of Democratic splendor. They wanted
the fraudulent bonds redeemed from the banks
and destroyed and about half of them were
thus made away with. The others were kept
off the market by prompt action of the Stock
Board, and the State never lost that is, the
honor thus added to the State by the Democ-
racy never cost anything Of consequence. 1t
was brilliant Democratic feat verify.
