-lect our standard-bearer for the APP
preaching conflict, our chief embar-
rassment is not in the want, but in
the abundance Of Presidential materi-
al, New York has her true and tried
statesman, upon whose administration
the fierce and even unfrirndly light Of
public scrutiny has been turned and
the universal verdict is "well done,
thou good and faithful servant Yer
mont has her great statesman, whose
mind is as clear rs the crystal springs
of his native State, and whose virtue
as firm MS its granite hills. Ohio can
come with II name whose history is
historic Of the Republican party itself.
Illinois comes with one who never
failed in the discharge of public du-
ty-whethcr in the council chamber
Or on the battle field. Maine has her
own honorcd fovurite, whose splendid
abilities and personal qualities have
cndenred him to the hearts of his
friends, and the brialliancy of whose
genius challenges the admiration OF
all. Connecticut and Indiana may
come with names scarcely less illus
trious than these And now, in con-
clusion, if, because of personal disa-
greements or the emergencies of the
occasion, another name is sought
there remains that great old hero OF
Kenesaw Mountain and Atlanta
where patriotism calls, he cannot, il
he would, be silent; but grasping
that banner, to him so dear, which he
has already borne in triumph, he will
march to civic victory, no less renown
ed than those of war.
| thank you, gentleman, for thin
distinguished mark of your conf
dence.
The illusions to Arthur, Sherman
Edmunds and Logan were heartily ap
plauded, but when Blaine was alluded
to as man whose splendid abilities
and personal qualities had endearet
him to the hearts of his friends, ant
whose brilliancy Of genius challenged
the admiration of mankind, u storm
of applause broke out on the stage
floor and galleries Men stood up
and, waving their hats and handker
chiefs, cheered again and again
Women also took part in the demon
stration and waved their fans anc
handkerchiefs.

DOOMED FOR THE CABINET.
Senator McDOnald's Friends Insist that He
Be Made ClevelandS Attorney General.

Upon the assumption that Cleveland las been
elected, the Democratic politicians in Indianap-
oils are already busily engaged in selecting
Cabinet for him, and the fool friends of Mr..
Mcdonald, with the same prematurity that
characterized their support of him for the presi-
dental nomination, are now vigorously booming
him for the Attorney portfolio
They claim that Indiana is entitled
to a Cabinet appointment and that it should be
given him a balm for his soreness over the
treacherous treatment he received in the Chi
cago convention. 1t is said to have been the
basis of another reconciliation between Mr.. Hen
bricks and Mr.. Mcdonald and that the latter
really desires the recognition The anti Nc
Donald men are looking around for some one
to urge in opposition to him, and Judge Niback
has been suggested as the most popular man in
the party to place against him, but the Judge
promptly comes forward to put a quietus upon
the brewing boom in his interest, and declares
that Mr.. Mcdonald is the only man in Indiana
who can afford to go into Cabinet position, on
account of the social demands.

before the country, and no necessity whatever
for the agitation of the question: very
small fraction of either of these could have
averted the calamity had it chosen to do so.
They have all subordinated the question of lib
erty and human rights to that of their own cher
ished theories 1t does not appear to concern
them whether voters are bulldozed because of
their color, and refused the exercise of a privi
lege which it was supposed had been guaranteed
by the Constitution. l had always supposed the
right of man to exercise the privilege of q
freeman of much greater Importance than the
kind or quantity of his beverages, or whether
his money should be paper, metallic, or both
combined.
There is another historical fact which may
have faded from the memory of many of the
voters of the four Northern States which have
Just chosen Cleveland electors, which is that in
1861, when Abraham Lincoln, the lawfully
elected President of the United States started
to Washington to assume the duties, the Demo
Gratis had divided the country into two sections,
James Buchanan presiding over one
good Democrats. The former concluded
to retire and allow Lincoln to be
inaugurated, but it required a four years bloody
war to dislodge President Davis, and it is the
special friends and sympathizers Of the latter
chat exult so much at the victory. Can anyone
tell how long it will be before the same party
will divide the country again and plunge it into
civil warl A party which has so clearly demon
strated its incapaclty to govern great country
cannot long continue in power. The credit Of
the government must suffer because tinkering
with the finance is sure to take place under
Democratic administration The revenue laws
must be revised, because the South demands it
and has the power to enforce her demands. This
will create confusion and uncertainty and lead
to the destruction of manufacturing. This may
be prophecy now but it will be reality in a few
months. NJ L. B.

VIII Mr.. CLARKE BE Honest2

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
was very sorry that Mr.. Clarke did not see
fit to fairly meet the charges published against
him in the way suggested
If personal curiosity" had> ben all, should
have called upon him personally for an explana
ton, but these charges were published before the
people, and hoped that, when the exact words
were before us, we would see in them neither
reflection upon an honored family nor a spirit of
rejoicing over the Supposed election, to the high
est Office of our land; of confessed libertine,
who had not manly honor enough to marry the
woman he had ruined, nor care for his own child
Mr.. Clarke has been elected to representa-
tive position by the Baptist denomination in this
State, largely through the influence Of it's min
istry. l believe that all but two, of the more
than four hundred would Indignantly resent the
sentiments attributed to him, and had such SEN
timents been expressed at our State convention
at Fort Wayne the author of them would have
been censured, rather than elected to represent
us in this State
do not desire longer to continue this painful
subject but only hope that Mr. Clarke may yet
decide to lay the whole matter plainly before us,
and that we shall then see nothing whatever in
his language to convey the sentiments attributed
to him. BAPTIST.

A Criticism of the Organized Charity.

10 bhe EdltOr OF the Indianapolis Jou rnal:
After the election, balm. It comes in the
shape of philanthropic exhibit-the annual
report of the society for the suppression of be-
nevolence, an organization that has succeeded
to the title of the indianapolis Benevolent So
ciety. If James Blake, James M. Ray, and
other good men and women Of the founders of
the latter society revisit these lunar glimpses
they will be greatly astonished to see how their
crude efforts have been improved upon, and that
what was the milk of human kindness in the
breast of the old society, has turned to cheese
in the bosom of the new, and skim-milk cheese at
that The S. S. B. has just presented its an
nual report, which, we are told, will be printed
The society dotes on print THE report of the
president, finance committee, relief committee,
industrial committee, friendly visitors, friendly
inn and woodward, have been received and
dered to be printed"
1t is beautiful work q very cireumlocution
Office of charity! And it is effective An appli-
cation for relief when booked, gallops along like
a case in chancery. The money contributed to
the S. S. B. is always judiciously expended-or
better yet, judiciously saved An applicant has
to have as clear bill of character as a heroine
in Sunday school book The various commit
tees look through the dusty, musty records of the
society annotated at the Jail, station house and
township trustees offee), to see whether the fore
fathers of the applicant came over in the May
flower or not, who her grandparents are, and if
there is no faint OF scrofua or original sin any
where along the genealogical line of course the
asker, the case having gone through the several
committees and three or four ad iouned meetings,
if deemed worthy and if she be still alive is re-.
lieved-sent to the Friendly Inn, township trus-
tee or the poorhouse.
By these careful, considerate business methods
the report shows the society has accumulated lat
low appraisement) $4,97094 tnearly $4,000
worth of property. During the past year, in
this city of 100000 people, the society for the
suppression OF benevolence actually expended
81 1876 81 for relief while the aggregate expenses
including rent stationery, printing, salaries,
ETC., was $l.2882 81" 1.-The subscriptions
amounted to "a, POP 81 and $500 additional was
raised on notes held by the Indiana Banking
Company"
From this it appears that only 50. 1885, 81 of the
81, 1O2 81 receipts expended in ''benevolence7
So the poor-tbe deserving poor, the superi,,-
lively, doubledistlled, deserving poor-get only
fifty cents out of each dollar collected. 1t is
beautiful work. D. c. NJ

MIR. Clarke and the Democracy.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal,
Your criticism the card of Rev. IN. Clarke
is to the point. There are few ministers who
have failed to grasp the situation in this country
since 1850 and they are generally whangdoo-
dlers without learning or usefulness; but Mr..
Clarke is q different kind of man, and has not
the excuse of ignorance to shield himself in his
alliance with the party that sympathized with
and sustained slavery, the rebellion, the liquor
traffic, justifes corruptng voters and the ballot
box and now prematurely claims Cievelands
election, and rejoices with the rebel South that
the flag that went down on the battlefield is
now triumphant through the ballot because the
Republicans of the South are disfranehised
There can be no man of intelligence ignorant of
the fact that the Democratic party, as an organi-
zation, sympathizes with every CRIME and vice
where votes can be obtained, and seeks control
of the country by pandering to ignorance, big
otry and viciousnesS. There are temperance
Republicans who were disappointed because our
State convention did not denounee the political
liquor league, but If the Republican party did
make mistake, it is far superior in the states
manship and moral worth of its leaders, it's pnb-
lie press, and in the general intelligence of its
voters, and ought to attract to its support and
sympathy all active Christian workers.
The Democratic party in the South controls
the States by fraud, murder and brutal violence
anu billo AlOVoo JIG hpPiONdA VI bilO
party North, and wherever it dares to use the
same means its managers do not hesitate to re-
sort to them here. The claiming Cleveland's
election in New York indicates on its face that
Manning knew frauds had been perpetrated by
which the Republican electors would be counted
out. No man who fills the pulpit. and is worthy
to, can does indorse the Democratic party
North or South. Its leaders are nothing but con
spirators, and hope to yet make the lost cause
successful b. b. SPENCER.
