TIE PENSION pRoMIsE swINpLE

THE PENSION PROMISE SWINDLE.
One of the electioneering schemes of the
Republicans is to promise to all applicants
for pensions that if they will vote the Re
publican ticket their pensions will be pro-
cured The men who make these represen.
tations know them to be made for no other
purpose than that TO induce the poor and
the injured to sell their birthright. The
Republican party can not procure pension
for any man. Pensions are obtained on the
evidence in each particular case. man
was injured in the Federal service he make
his application to the department
and submits his case on the evidence.
The case proceeds just the same as a case in
a court of law. The success or failure of it
depends on the evidence, and unless there
should be gross and unhsllowed violation
of official duty Republican applicant
stands in not one whit better position before
the department than Democratic appli-
cant. When the Republican party holds
out TO an applicant for pension that it can
procure his pension IL he will vote its ticket.
it is an endeavor to bride that applicant and
attempting to bride by q false pretense adds
infemy to the act. OF all the mean things
ever done by the Republicans in the way of
attempted coercion, was there ever anything
meaner than this2 II is amazing to one that
the pretended God and morality party
should lend itself to such atrociOus and
abominable things. Let no Democratic APP

WHAT FOLLOWS BLAINE.

An orgsn says: ''The Democracy of Fort
Wayne didn't insult Mr.. Blaine; they in
suited the State OF Indiana" And then
goes on with some words about Gree speech
denied to Mr.. Blaine. A free ballot is as
much of consequence as 'free speech" and
without the right TO exercise the former the
latter has but little significance or value.
Mr.. Blaine went through Ohio. as his friends
say, to magnetic the people of that State,
and the magnet appears to have been plans
to overcome free expression Of the people
upon the issues of public policies which they
were to determine through the peaceful
agency Of the ballot. And what followed
Mr. Blalne's visit to Ohio, for his friends say
he is conducting his own canvass, aud hence
Is responsible for results? Just this: wher-
ever it could be done under the cover of
law, through the agency of the minions of
the General Government, and by means
which were an insult to the people of the
whole country and a disgrace to the
Nation, to lntimidate voters opposed to
him and to overcome free ballot
and defeat a fair election by the
grossest frauds. These things followed in
Mr.. Blaine's track in Ohio, and he must
have known in advsnce what would be done,
if it was not his suggestion. and without
word Of disapprovsl since the election. We
suppose the same schemes OF villainy will
follow his magnetism" ia Indiana wher-
eyer it can be done without any justification
whatever, to secure, If possible, by BULLDOG
ing, intimidation and unblushing frauds
the end of his ambition. And yet such
man s0ys he "bows with pride to the free
people Of America Bat he should have
said that just now, as circumstances made it
necessary, he recognized the sovereign
~ Of power and fraud to thwart aud prevent
free ballot by intimidation, and violence,
if needs be, under the cover of law, aud
through the same methods to debauch the
hallot-box, and thus defeat the will of the
people.

BUSINESS INTERESTINGLY WILL
RESTORE PROSPERITY

If the people Of the country wish business
prosperity, it must be evident that Il can
not be attained by the continuance OF the
Republican party in power. Almost every
industry and business pursuits embarrassed,
and all over the country are idle men seek
ing employment. Why is this if Repub-
lican domination and methods are for the
best interests of the people2 An ounce Of
experience and facts makes clearer demon
stration than pounds of theory and unful-
filed promises. Why longer trust an admin
istration Of the Government with such
results7 The wealth and power Of
the Government are concentrating
with small numbers, while the great
mass of the people are struggling for exist
ence. These things can not long continue
without fastening upon the people the con-
ditions of the strong governments of the Old
World. History is but repeating itself when
we see with rapid strides power stealth {
from the many TO the few.
II has been our boast that this is q govern
ment of the people. 1t has been. but IL is
rapidly becoming the government OF the few.
And where Is the remedy What Is to be

THE SOURCE OF THE SCANDAL
CAMPAIGN

It becomes more evident with each day
that Mr.. Blaine inspired the scandal cam
paign against Governor Cleveland. Since
his visit to Indianapolis the organs have
grown even more indecent than before.
The Journal of yesterday added to its
smutching, drsggle-tailed editorials against
Mr.. Cleveland a putrid attack upon Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher. Who is safe from
the pOlluting tongue of this organ OF Mr..
Blaine? Its filthy assault on Governor
Cleveland on the morning following his
nomination was disgraceful enough. Its
unremitting repetition of the exploded
scandals and its incessant nosing hunt for
other sewerage to pump into the campaign
have been debssing enough. But nov since
Mr.. BIaine's visit the scurvy tendency has
grown 50 strong that 1t makes personal
and scandalous attack upon Rev. Henry
Ward Beeeher, aud why2 Not that Mr..
Beeeher had uttered one word, personal,
against Mr.. Blaine; there was no provoca-
ton of that kind. But merely because Mr..
Beecher defends Mr.. Blaine's political oppo-
nent, does this organ Of Blaine grossly calum-
Mate the pirate character Of that defender.
So intent, it appears, is Mr.. Blaine upon
besmirching the private character OF his
rival for the Presidency that his organs will
stab with scandal minister of the Gospel
even q man who has done more than James
G. Blaine and all the public men who to-day
are espousing for the Republican party
merely because that minister has said word
in defense of the private character of that
rival. To what low depths of infamy will
James G. Blaine and his personal organs not
descend2 What dishonor will they not
COURT What outrsges will they not perps-
trate, to crafty the Satanic ambition
of that INSCRIPTIONS corruptionlst?
Having begun his career ia soci
ETY. by flehing the honor of the innocent,
he and his organs have fiendishly sought to
pull down the reputation OF others to the
low level of his own infamy. He has cor.
rupted even the ministry OF Christ, causing
them to violate His sacred precepts and ex-
ample and to become uncharitable and vi
perish acousers against man of whom they
know nothing wrong-all for subservience
to this ribald political BeeIzebub, James @.

TIE PLUMED KNIGHT IN PERSON

.
Perhaps no feature of Tuesdays disap-
pointment was greater than the personal ap-
pearancs of Mr.. Blaine to the eyes of the
people. There certainly was nothing OF the
knight in Mr.. Blsine's appearance. The ag-
gressive leader who has figured in the fancies
of bis ardent partisans dwindled into q
lugubrious Yisaged man, seemingly bloated
awkward and dispirited of manner, aged
and enfeebled, bald, grim and grizzled. Mr.
Blaine looks to be an unhealthy man, a
tired man, stricken man. The stricken
appearance may be the result of an uneasy
conscience. Certain il is that his personal
appearance was disappointment to sll who
saw him, for all did at least expect to see a
strong, vigorous, aggressive figure, instead Of
the played-out looking man who was seen.
He does not look to be the man who would
grace the White House. Let the perform
ance of those duties be left to more COM
petent man-Grover Cleveland.

PRESIDENT MoRRINa.

The Democrats OF Fort Wayne showed
their malice aud desperation last night.
None but Democrats could do what was
done there to cast blotch upon the good
breeding and decency OF Indiana.-JournaL
We are sorry that the Democrats inter
rupted Mr.. Blaine. 1t reminds US of the
time when President of the United States

holding the Office by the law of the land.
oh, yes! these Radicals and their organs are
daisies. They deceive the very elect-and
the electors. We call the attention OF the
Journal and the incendiary gang who have
been trying 20 instigste mob violence in this
city for some time past that the Radical
hummer element, led by the apparently de-
cent clement Of that party, instigsted two
political mobs in this city. They sowed the
wind and reaped the whirlwind. One or
two were killed on both occasions, and they
trere not Democrats. Put in black type where
it can be seen frequently.

a STAR FLING REPUBLICAN THEORY.
Mr.. McSEeeney asserted during his speech

Minister Lowell asserting the startling theory
that he could not help him bscause he was q
naturslized citizen-drawiog thus a cruel
distinction between the naturalized and
native born American citizens. This is In.
deed startling. What protection does the
stars and stripes carry, then, to the natu-
rallied citizen? II this IL the Republican
theory regarding the Constitution of the
United States on this point the quicker our
