We do not know to what speech of Mr. Stephens

pioneer of that State and local celebrity.
OF course the letter was written when both
Lincoln and Stephens were members of Con

THE PROHIBITION CANDIDATE.

The Prohibition factionists of Indiana
have bolted the nomination of Gov. ST.
John, and a committee of Ten have united
in an address to the Temperance People OF
Indiana, and call upon them loud and long
to vote for Jim Blaine of Maine. They advo-
cate the royal-arch Maine Prohibitionist on
the ground that
For the past twenty years all the tracts Of the
American Society which have discussed the value
and success of prohibition legislation have con-
tanned letters of testimony from Hon. James G.
Blaine in favor of the prohibition legislation in
Maine, and for more than twenty years Mr.
Blaine has supported that legislation in his own
State.
Neal Dow says Blaine is good enough
temperance man for him, and Mr.. Dow
was the National Prohibition standard bearer
in 1880.
Blaine's status is fixed. Further hocus-
pocus on the subject is of no avail. The
disguise is off. The Prohibitionists claim
him, and people who do not believe in that
ultra, impracticable doctrine can take him
for what he is or let him alone.

The GLOBE has, on two or three occasions,

can national committee, asking contribu-
tons from government officials to aid in the
election of Blaine and Logan. This is in
direct violation of law, and shows the hol-
lowness of the pretended civil service re-

too, that Mr.. Jones is not content with

against this systematic blackmail:
Aug. 10th, 1sSl.-I enclose you a dictated
letter, sent to one of the civil employees Of the
quartermaster's department at this post. 1 am
informed that all the employees, from the Acting
Assistant Surgeons, serving with the troops,
down to the transfers, have been served with
this summons to delirer. Some of them, appre-
hensive Of the consequences of refusal to sub

and their salaries are barely sufficient for the
needs of themselves and their families 1 have

cor. oLETELAND,S ACCEPTANoE


The letter of Grover Cleveland accepting
the Democratic national nomination is
given to the country this morning, and will
be read with eager interest by all classes of
citizens. In every line and sentence it
bears the impress of being the honest senti-
ments of a man fully equipped for the
gravest duties and highest honor his fellow
citizens may impose and confer.
Gov Cleveland's letter is commendable
for its brevity, for the absence of any effort
to multiply words as cover for sinister
ends, for its manly, ringing sentences, and
the sincere and estfrmness of the strong
man who accepts the great trust which con-
stitutes him leader of the people.
Gov. ;7levelands letter will put into the
campaig: the question of an honest adj
ministration of the affairs of the general
government. The men who have nomi-
mated a candidate who is VIGOROUSLY a
crooked and corrupt politician are desper-
ately afraid to meet the facts in re-
gard to the frauds, thieving and other dis
honesty in all departments of the gov
eminent. They don't want any overhaul
ing of the railroad, Indian, star route
naval, signal service, treasury and postoffice
rascalities. They are afraid of honest facts
and honest men. They hate man who has
the courage to say to his friends: ''Tell the
Truth" They do not want man who will
oppose and prevent excessive and burden
some taxation that is levied merely to create
asurplus for rogues and cheats to grab. But
these things have got to be met. They are
the living issues of the campaign. Gov.
Cleveland stands as the most conspicuous
representative of honesty, fidelity and ability
in a high executive office. Now that his
letter has been given to the public the work
of the campaign will begin, and it is the
highest duty of every patriotic man, every one
who hates corruption and loves honesty to
enroll under the standard of Honest Gov
eminent and assist to Turn the Raseals out
