eNAWINe A FILE,

The ut-throat policy of the opposition, that
is anxious to believe the word Of any adj
venturer, in the event that it is unfriendly to
the Republican party and its candidates, ex-
tends to other things, and the method pursued
by Democratic papers is so shamelessly dishon-
orable as to defeat its purpose. "A pa
per no less prominent than the New York
Herald stoops to petty meanness below the
tricks of a ward politician in garbling General
Logan's letter to make him say: 'The
advantage Of having bank note
in the house should be appre-
ciated by ALL This the Herald uses to show
that Logan is brazen enough to thus publicly
proclaim that the purpose Of the Republican
party is to buy votes. The sentence from
which this was garbled reads: 'HThe advantage
Of having a bank note in the house which will
be as good in the morning as it was the night
before should be appreciated by all. Unable
to answer the letter on its merits the Herald,
in common with nearly all the Democratic
press is driven to the methods of the assassin.
The same pitiful, puerile, contemplate treat
ment was accorded theletter of Mr.. Blaine. Its
barely possible that the inventors Of these dis
reputable tricks hope to accomplish some good
in aid of the cause Of the great reform"
ticket; but what commentary on the intel
lgence, decency and honesty of the patrons
of such papers. Is the American sense of
honor dead that it can reasonably be hoped
that such charlatanism will succeed The
two letters will have to be met on their mer-
its. They cannot be whistled down the wind
as unworthy Of attention tbecause written
by somebody else, nor distorted to suit
the occasion. The people everywhere
have read them, and they are so simple in
composition, so plain in meaning, that no
body with intelligence enough to read need be
moment in doubt as to the exact meaning of
every line. If the letters of the Democratic
nominees are as ingenious and honest the
country may well be congratulated, especially
in view Of the fact that the Democratic plat
form is purposely SO complex as to adj
nit of any desired Interpretation, accord
ing to the bias of the reader. Any
attempt to juggle with Logan's outspoken let
ter win only bring harm tothose mean enough
to thereby confess that it is unanswerable UNI
less mutilated This is reading campaign
and voters are doing their own thinking in a
way never equaled before. It won't do to play
with them nor to attempt to cheat them.

WE print elsewhere letter written by one
Of the most prominent gentlemen of southern
Indiana calling attention to the fact that
certain Methodist preachers will be in attend
ance at the Acton camp meeting despite the
action of the Southeast Conference that if ex-
cursion trains are run on Sundays to such
meetings Methodists 'tshould withhold their
presence and influence" This gentleman, as
is the Journal, is interested in the se-
curement of a proper civil observance Of the
Sabbath as a day of rest We do not care, as
public journalist, continental-no more
than do these excursion train camp-meeting
managers-for the religious character of the
day; but we do care, and all careful, thought
full citizens care, for the better preservation
Of the civil Sabbath in the interests Of GEN
eral society and for that reason we earnestly
deprecate these assaults upon Sunday by
those who, by their vow and conscience are
pledged to keep the day holy, and should,
therefore, be an; example to those who only
care for the day on a possibly lower plane Of
profession. It is doubtless true, as our cor
respondent says, that some Methodist preach
ers may be found giving their presence and
influence to the Acton camp meeting and
Sunday law breaking and dissertation; but we
think we can set his mind at ease as to the
| great majority Of the Methodist preachers Of
indianapolis, at least. On the 26th day Of
May the Methodist Preachers Association Of
| IN city passed a resolution as follows;
Resolved That we, the Methodist preachers Of IN
dianapohs will not attend or in any way contribute
to the Of the alleged camp meeting unless the
association close their gates during the Sabbath day

In the platform reported to the Democratic
Shiel annex yesterday, Rev. r. T. Brown had
what he presumed was very good hit at the
Journal. One Of the planks recited para
lucid interval" in which this paper said the
strong prohibition feeling in the country was
due more than anything else to the arrogance
and law-defying character and conduct of the
Liquor League It is to be regretted that the
plank was notallowed to remain in the platform
by the kissing Democrats, who evidently
made up the large majority Of the convention,
and who controlled the proceedings from be-
ginning to end The journal believed what
it said then; it believes it now, and does not
hesitate to repeat it with all posi-
BILE emphasis There has not been
word printed in the Journal in denunci-
alton of the lawlessness of the liquor power
for which we have ever apologized in the
slightest degree nor which we would now
alter or modify in any particular. The jour
nal stands as strongly as it is possible for any
one to stand for public morals, for the enforce
ment of law, and for the restriction Of all the
evils that affect society and bring ruin, misery
and degradation to people. With its record
and standing upon all such questions it is per-
| fectly satisfied, and is committed to a continu-
ance Of its course by the strength of conscien-
tious conviction. But this does not mean that
we shall weakly and vainly follow, like sheep,
| the selfish or mad plunge of some self-appoint-
ed bell-wether ipto a movement, the logical
and confessed object of which will be to put
the Democratic power in control of the State,
and, possibly, the national government. That
is the point of disagreement between
the journal and the odd mixture
of personal honesty and probity with
political dishonesty and chicanery, which yes
terday met at English's Opera-house, and took
leap into the bosom of the Democratic Liquor
League. The Journ il has the highest respect
for the personal character and sincere convic-
ton of many who seem to think their duty
lies in thus effectively allying themselves
with the Democratic party and the Liquor
League but it has no respect whatever for the
honesty or convictions of many who rnanipu-
lated the machinery Of the Shiel convention,
and who stood behind the scenes pulling the
wires. The Journal believes it is doing and
has done more for the advancement Of public
morality, not to say even the cause Of temper
ance reform specifically, by a consistent course
in upholding and advocating the cause Of the
only political party which has ever done any
thing to put forward any moral reform sin
gle step and which alone to-day, has the POI
tency and promise Of such action for the
future. In that belief and in that attitude
the journal win continue to stand, despite the
sneess Of those for whom DR. Brown may

The Buffalo Times says, in regard to the
unfortunate secrets Of Governor Cleveland's
private life" that when be was a candidate
for mayor and Governor, the scandals which
are now circulated broadcast were as well
known as they are to-day. The Times, which
is Republican paper and supports Blaine
deprecates the publication of these scandals,
and says with local pride hardly excusable
under the circumstances, that "a man who is
fit, personally, to preside as mayor of Buffalo,
and again to occupy the great Office Of Gov
ernor of the Empire State is not disqualified,
on the same grounds, to sit as chief executive
of the Nation. In other words if Mr.. Cleve-
land was good enough man, morally, to re-
ceive the support Of his fellow-citizens to act
as their mayor, he is good enough man,
morally, to be their President This is a
matter which may admit of some question.
Buffalo and New York may admire that par
ticular style Of man, but the country is larger
than both these places, and will decide for
itself as to the person who is good enough to
rule over it.
