An Honest Democrat.

Really, there is some question if the ratifca-
ton meeting on Saturday night was not about as
much of Republican as Democratic meeting
and the conflicting opinions of the orators regard
ing the candidates was no little amusing. Hon.
George r, Vending spoke commercially of Mr..
Blaine, relating interestingly his acquaintance
with the gentleman, and said that he was fit to
be President of these United States and, after
speaking at some length on the merits of the
gallant General John A. Logan, he said that he
was fit to be Vice-president He said that, in his
opinion, the campaign should be fought upon the
record Of the respective parties, and not by
abusing the nominees His kindness toward the
"Plumed Knight and the Gallant General
caused the Republicans to enthuse, and they
cheered him heartily, and when he said that
Blaine and Logan were fit to be President and
Vice-president deafening cheers were sent up
and it was then the most enthusiastic applause
was oivon

trick to get them to vote the prohibition ticket.
They know that that would be water on the

An Incident in MI. Hendricks, Career.

Chicago Inter Ocean,
Saidlan ex-eongressman from Indiana: Il re-
member the time when Hendricks did as much
to encourage assertions from the Union army as
Morton did to encourage enlistments. He was
always against Morton, and on one occasion in
1864 both spoke in the square in Indianapolis
There was fear Of a riot, and the soldiers at the
camp were kept under arms. was at home on
leave Of absence, and it was made clear to me
that if Indiana soldiers hated any man, that
man was Thomas A. Hendricks During
the speech some fellow, carried away by
the dominant anti-war sentiment of the meet
ing called for three cheers for JEFF Davis. In
SANITY the Union men on the outskirts of the
crowd made dash for the shouter, and the cop
perheads rushed in to defend him. Among the
hot-headed Democrats plunglng headlong into
the fight was Tom Ryan, whom met on the
streets here to-day. / knew his brother, Colonel
Dick Ryan, we'll and as Tom passed me l caught
him by the collar, and putting all my strength
into the effort hurled him back. He said to me
day that threw him fifteen feet, and that
that fling saved his life. In two minutes the
soldiers dashed into the crowd arrested the
friend of JEFF Davis and dispersed his sym
pathizers. Those were trying times, and with
Hendricks on the Democratic ticket the spirit of
those times will come back His candidacy will
bring the memory of Morton into the campaign
as a political force, and the Grand Army boys
can't keep out of such fight

children. Read it: awhile standing faithfully
by the rights of property and personal liberty
guaranteed to the people by the Constitution,
we distinctly declare that we are in favor of
sobriety and temperance, and all proper means
for the promotion of these virtues; but we be-
lieve that a well-regulated license system, and
reasonable and just laws upon the subject, faith
fully enforced, would be better than extreme
measures which, being subversiye of personal
liberty and in conflict with public sentiment,
would never be executed, thus bringing law into
disrepute and tending to make sneaks and hypo-
critics of our people
I'VE are in favor of sobriety and temper
ancen SO says their platform. And to secure
this object the Democrats are in favor of keep
ing open the legalized saloon. Any measure
more extreme would be subversive of the per
sonal liberty of the liquor-seller, and would tend
Ito make sneaks and hypocrites of our peopleT
such is the Democratic doctrine announced in
their platform.
Temperance voters, the course dictated by the
highest considerations of prudence and duty is
to vote with the party which gives you a hope of
supplantling Constitution which stands as a
bulwark for the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors by one which shall stand as bull
Wafk for temperance and virtue.

Capel at the Convention.
Joe Howard, in Philadelphia Press.

Joe Howard. in Philadelphia Press
Monsignor Capel was quaint element in the
this picture. He is nice man, too. He wears
ON the street huge funny shaped hat, clerical
cut, presume very broad brimed, turned up at
the sides, aud very large crown. He has a
heavy face, almost the fac smile of Dick Brights,
of Indiana but laughing eye and beautiful
teeth. His figure is large and heavy, and his
walk is rather swingy for man, but he is a
charming companion, a courtier in the last sense
of the term, disposed to sling little too much
taffy, perhaps, but thoroughly manly man. He
looked down with good deal of unfeigned in
terest during the turbulent proceedings of the
convention, and it would be interesting to know
just what he thought He is a very busy indi-
vidual and flies from point to point like meteor
He will write book on the people he has met
here, using them as types Of society.

A Card from DE-. Houser.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Will you allow me little space to correct
some false statements willfully made by the
Monitor Journal That paper would have the
temperance people believe that refuse to call
a convention. This is untrue. only refuse to
call convention to which would be admitted
only a few extremists who are in favor of put
ting a prohibition ticket in the field. am and
always have been in favor of calling conven-
ton of all who favor prohibition; and since
Shiel has backed down, and says his call means
that, | urge all prohibitionists to attend the
convention on the oath of this month, as they
will all have perfect right there.
have always claimed that mass con-
vention of prohibitionists should decide the
question whether we have ticket in the field
this fall or not, and believe nine tenths of the
temperance people of this State demand that
Kind OF convention. | am willing to trust such
convention and abide its decision.
Mr.. Shiel intimates that have forsaken the
State Union and left it in debt. This is untrue
have not forsaken it, but am sticking to it and
saving 1t from being used tool for his profit.
AS to the finances cannot say, for no money
comes into my hands All dues 90 to Messrs
know they are always asking the temperance
people of Indiana for money and receiving, per-
haps much more than their work merits
Since the Republican party offers us a con
stitutional convention, and after seriously
thinking over it and consulting with many of
the best temperance men in the State, / have
concluded that it is the very best chance we
have for prohibition. and have said So and said
also that think it unwise to put a prohibition
ticket in the field this fall. For this reason Mr..
Shel misrepresents me to the temperance
people. The Monitor journal intimates that
am working in the interest of the Republican
party am working to have prohibition sub
mitted to the people as soon as it can be done,
and the constitutional convention is the shortest
road by from three to five years 1t is we'll
enough for those who read the Monitor-Journa al
to remember its editor is a lifelong Democrat
and that he is now working in the interest of
the Democratic party
do not object to Mr.. Shiel being Democrat
but when it comes to using the temperance votes
to aid the party that opposes us and hurt the
Republican party, that offers us, a short road to
submission, shall put in my protest and shall
continue to protest
Mr.. Shiel knows quite we'll that Democrats
will not vote prohibition ticket this fall, and
as all the votes cast for such ticket would
come from the Republican party as Democrat
he wants the prohibition ticket.

How Hendricks Looks to a stranger.

Convention Portraits in Philadelphia Press.
Immediately in front of me sat Governor
Hendricks, now candidate for vice-president To
the eye of a stranger Hendricks looks quite as
much like sick cat as anything else to the eye
of a sentimentalist he represents a sufferer
laboring under the weight Of a great wrong. To
the eye Of Democrat he is the exponent of the
old ticket and regarded largely as an expectancy
candidate. He is tall stout and / judge he
would be blonde if he were fifty years younger.
His hair is thick upon his head and not turned
gray; an advantage which blonde-headed men
and women have over their black headed brothers
and sisters His face is clean-shaven and I'M
wrinkled with die away expressions in his eye,
and sort Of please-don't tickleme manner, in
dicative of retiracy.

HARPER's WEEKLY has for many years
knowledged leader Of public opinion, and Of
family journal of the highest rank in point Of
literary and artistic excellence
Independent Of partisan control it is the
friend and advocate of all measures that tend
to the publication of politics, to the establish
ment of Civil Service reforms, to the spread
Of knowledge and intelligence among thepeo-
pie, and to the general advancement of hui
manity. The Republican Party, as the or
gained political exponent of these principles,
has received its cordial sympathy and support
but HARPER's WEEKLY has never surrendered
into party keeping the right of private judg
ment, nor will it hesitate to criticise or con-
denim whatever, within or without party lines,
may appear to be at variance with the funda-
mental principles of right.
HARPERs WEEKLY believes the nomination
Of JAMES G.. BLAINE to have been grave
political mistake, and that his election would,
at this critical period of the Nations history,
endanger the influence of Republican princi
pies. 1t believes that the election of GROVER
CLEVELAND, who, as the Governor Of the

qualities of a spacious bipartisan statesman,
would promote the objects for which the Re
publican Party has contended, and he will
therefore receive the earnest and cordial sup

rich variety of reading matter, at once instructive
