What manner of man can thus deliberately

not allowed to write even paragraph on the

Is it strange that his letter of acceptance was
but an agglommeration of platitudes that had
no more to do with current affairs of state
than have the Ten Commandments ''My

true and noble, as she knew he was dutiful

have been not to know of the infamy of her

THE Journal does not care to go into the
business of deciding bets, and would gladly
turn over the entire business to those who
gamble, But, now that so many questions
are asked on this point, it may be interesting
to know what an expert says:
"Bets on State majorities," said Lieuten-
ant Bruce, of the Turf, Field and Farm ''are
always decided by sporting custom, by the
vote received by the head of the ticket ire
spective of the vote cast for any of the other
candidates. In Ohio, therefore, the vote re-
ceived by Robinson is the one that decides
all bets on the Republican plurality in the
State. The vote received by any other can
didate is not taken into consideration unless
it was specifically betted on"
The Indianapolis journal., 1884-10-24

Do we then think one party is just as good
as another, and that it makes no difference
which has possession of the administration
By no means. We acknowledge fully that we
believe the Republican voters at the North
taken in the mass, are superior to the Demo-
Gratis in education and intelligence. The pub
lie credit and the execution of the laws is on
the whole, safer in their hands than in that of
the Democrats, in spite of the silver craze
and the recent legal tender decision of the
Republican Supreme Court.-New York Even
ing Post.
Notwithstanding the belief expressed above
the Post advocates the election of a Democrat
because the small faction of politicians to
which its editors belong could not dictate the
action of the Chicago convention. which rep
resented the intelligent Republican voters of
the country. Patriotism and honest princi-
pies have no meaning to such men.

The Democrats have discovered that the
people want free trade, and it is on just that

INDIANA Republicans have grave response

they must firmly stand between The ban.'t
box and Henry Watterson's Kentuckians, who
are to be "spared to take care of Indiana.
And they must also face that party of mob
violence inoited to new deeds of blood by that
eminent Democrat and ex-rehel, Governor
Hubbard, of Texas, who no longer ago than
on Wednesday night of this week, in this city,
advised Democrats to have their pistols ready
on election day, to do murder if necessary.
He said:
Democrats of Indiana should take their
pistols with them to the polls, and if you find
United States marshals there-wel need
not tell you what to do if you have your pis-
tolls ready, because you all know, just as well
as l do, what the occasion requires"
We have, therefore, not only solid South
to face but Southern methods imported here
With systematic work and fair election,
neither will succeed.

far forgets the purposes for which it was Gre

to intimidate and to kill the members of anv

by every law known to self-protection and the
preservation of society. The only trouble with
the Democrats of Cincinnati was the trouble
of timidity. They feared conflict with

THE resolution indorsing the Monitor-J our
nal at the session of the Grand Lodge of Good
Templars, on Wednesday, was only passed
after bitter fight, lasting nearly all day, and
would have been overwhelmingly defeated had
not the Shiel faction packed the meeting with
illegal voters from the lodges in this city and
immediate vicinity. This course could
not have been restorted to but for the biased
and unfair ruling of the presiding officer, Eli
Miller, who is candidate on the Democratic
annex ticket. A motion to indorse the course
of NJ. E. Shiel met with such opposition that
it was quickly withdrawn. This attempt to
