London Times
One day in October received an anonymous
telegram, surreptitiously passed out from the
Jail at Tantah to the effect that seventy five per-
sons were wrongly there confined, were being
tortured to death, and that two had already died.
I at once sent Dr. Crookshank, who then had not
taken charge Of the jails, to examine every pris-
oner in the Jail, and report. He found the sew
enty-five men there with open wounds and rum
ming sores still upon their feet, though, in many
cases, the wounds had been inflicted two months
previously. Some bore the marks also of the
thumb-screw upon their fingers, and others the
marks left from being suspended from beams.
On the face of this report it was
with great difficulty, and after much
opposition, that succeeded in getting

A GREAT OFFER.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home of every Repub
hcan in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for 25 cents
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is complete family
newspaper. It is specially edited, and much
of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants of the weekly readers. It
is compendium of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters; it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political, social
and general; it has the news Of the State
and Of the city. Its literary and nniscellane-
Gus features are of the best.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL is a newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana, and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
it should not be, at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered. Political com
mittees cannot do better than to see that

in the hands of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers of
some sound Republican paper. The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle of protection to American industry
in whatever revision Of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments Of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply interested and
the discussions Of the journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
names at once either singly or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.

Chicago tribune.
Mr.. Chairman Villas, to whom was deputed the
duty OF formally rendering the nomination to
Cleveland and Hendricks, has fulfilled it. In
that portion of the duty pertaining to the rear
end of the ticket Mr.. Chairman Villas unblush-
ingly, and we presume without sarcasm, said:
'Sir, though Indiana's favored citizens may enjoy
with just pride peculiar honor in the distinguished
services you have rendered your party your State and
the Nation and may feel peculiar attachment for
the endearng qualities OF your heart and mind be as
sured the Democracy of the Nation participates in
that sense of honor and affectonate regard and in
hardly less degree"

did not stop to specify the character Of the dis
tinguished services Mr. Hendricks had per
formed for his party the State and the Nation,
and in which the Democracy of the State and
Nation take such houor. 1t may be well to
recall some of them:

the infamous and brutal system of human
slavery long after President Lincoln issued his
Emancipation Proclamation, and while Colonel
Villas was risking his life on the battlefield to
abolish it.
q He voted to repeal the Missouri Compro-
mise, and was rewarded by Buchanan for doing
it. He advocated the barring out of all free
negroes from Indiana he always voted against
giving the colored race any rights. He opposed
the constitutional amendments, the repeal Of the
fugtive-slave law, and grossly assailed Lincoln
for issuing the Emancipation Proclamation.
g. He steadily and systematically opposed the
government in its every effort to put down the
Southern rebellion. He publicly expressed his
sympathy with the South whenever It was safe
for him to do it. He advised the Northwest to
secede from the Union and set up government
of its own. He advised men not to volunteer,
and suggested in public speech that there were
ways Of taking care Of United States officers who
