SOUTHERN MONEY.

That vast sums of money have been and are
being raised in the Southern States for the
purpose of aiding the Democratic party in In
diana the Journal has maintained for some
days, by the publication of facts which could
not be controversial taken, in many instances,
from the columns of Democratic newspapers.
But, to make assurance doubly sure that the
Journals assertions in this behalf are not
campaign lies, we are enabled to give this
morning the text of an official circular issued
by the Democratic State central committee of
Kentucky, copy of which came into our
hands yesterday. 1t is as follows;
FRANKFORT, KY, Oct. %, 1884.
ITO the Chairman of Democratic Committee of -
County:
'Dear Sir-The State central committee be-
ing advised of strong Republican effort to
control the vote of Indiana by use OF large
amount of money, and desiring to do as much
as possible to counteract its effect, hereby au-
thorizes and requests you, as chairman of the
county committee, to take subscriptions and
raise whatever amount of money the Demo
Gratis of your county are willing to give to
such purpose.
"You are urgently asked to do this at once,
and to send whatever amount you may raise,
be it great or small, directly to Hon. Joseph
E. Mcdonald, Indianapolis, Ind.
''By order of the State central committee.
-. SToDDARD JOHNSON, Chm. o.
fH. T. STANTON, Secretary"
This is official. 1t viii be seen that the
money is to be specifically raised for Indiana,
and the sums are to be sent to Hon. Joseph
E. Mcdonald, who, as the Journal also stated,
has practically superseded Mr.. Hendricks in
charge of the campaign. It is generally un-
'swag" to the various counties in the State
in 1874, and succeeded in electing Legisla
ture that sent him to the United States Sen
ate as a reward for his services. 1t is possible
that Mr. Mcdonald has a like contingency i'll
his mind now, as sort of balm to his
wounded feelings because of Mr.. Hendricks
treachery at Chicago. But whether this be
true or not, certain it is that Indiana is being
flooded with money raised in the Southern
States. Added to this money, it is hoped by
the Democrats to import the intimidating
methods of the solid South. What Republic
ans have to meet is the money and the intim-
idation of Southern Democrats. Against
these as we have SO often said, Republicans
can only oppose their unceasing vigilance
and the force and authority of the law. Re
publicans everywhere must stand upon their
rights, and allow neither fraud nor force to en-
croach upon them.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-10-31

Democratic party has no intention of allowing
so long so they can gain votes by appearing to
champion the cause of free whisky, though in
reality stirring up the bitterest hostility
among the people. Mark Wallace, Demo
cratic saloon-keeper in Cincinnati, sees the
situation as it is, and says Il think it all
wrong. The license or tax, ought to be
81, 900, instead of 5000. 1t will hurt our party
in the State" George Weber, of the Jackson
brewery, thinks the question ought to be taken
out of politics Mr.. John Kaufman, of the
Kaufman Brewing Company, says;
''The low-down politicians are constantly
meddling with our business, holding sword
over our heads. This doesn't settle the mat
ter by any means. It will come up again in
some shape or another. 1 am tired of this
| agitation of the saloon-keepers' interests, but
it will always be so until just law, placed
| legally and permanently on the books, will
compel the politician to find some one else to
worry"
Few brewers were found who were foolish
enough to unqualifedly indorse the action
taken, evidently realizing that the prejudice
raised would be very harmful, not only to the
Democratic party, but to the liquor interest
| AT Cleveland and elsewhere the same senti-
ment was expressed. Thomas F. Thompson
a prominent saloon-keeper of Cleveland, said
"The decision, as a matter of business af-
fecting the saloonists, is a grave mistake, for
they will get something worse than the Scott
law long before they get anything better.
have no respect for the Supreme Court that
prostitutes itself to the ends of political
campaign and nothing has been gained by it,
for the full liquor vote was cast with the De-
mocracy at the State election The better
class of saloonists were satisfied and even If
anything were gained from the saloon vote by
the decision, the gain would be counteracted
by the loss among the voters in the rural dis
tricts who appreciate the increase in taxation
that will result"
The Toledo Democratic papers, realizing
the mistake made, condemn the decision
But the great food of opposition will come
from the people without regard to politics who
will seek some way in which to attest their
condemnation. 1t was a colossal blunder as a
partisan measure. If any doubt remained Of
Ohio being safe for the Republicans, it is now
removed. Blaine will get 10000 more votes
than Cleveland in that State.

A OUAKER'S TESTIMONY,

Under the date of October 81 instant Mr.
Samuel Perry, of Fountain City, Wayne
county, well known as an earnest and sincere
temperance man, publishes an address to the
citizens of Indiana, in which he says:
Il have long been an earnest temperance
man. and | will vote for no man knowing or
believing him to be in the habit of indulging
in intoxicating liquors. AS grave reports
were in circulation charging, or rather insinu-
ating, that William H. Calkins was an intern
perate man, and as the truth of these reports
was denied, and not wanting to make any
mistake in my vote, / resolved to visit La
Porte and investigate the matter for myself.
II conversed with large number of the
leading citizens, Republicans, Democrats and
Prohibitionists among others Jacob II. Vim
