Lieut.. Greedy Defended.

Washington, special telegram, Sept
5-An officer of the Greedy relief expedi-
tion said here to day:
The criticisms upon Greely's lack of
discipline are unwarranted. He is no
particular friend of mine, but am con-
tident that if an inquiry is had he will
come out ahead. He has never said o
word against Hazen but he has severely
criticised Darlington for not examining
the cache of provisions at Payer harbor
as directed. If he had done that and
left fresh supply instead of the spoiled
rations that were there. it is probable
that many more of the party woald have
been able to pull through. Greely's
work is remarkable. He brought every
man to the place he said he would two
days before the time fixed where he had
every reason to expect assistance. He
must have exercised strict discipline
or he never could have done
it. Here is an instance of his
discipline. At Cape Sabine DR..
Pavy and one of the men came into his
tent and insisted upon an immediate
division of the supplies on hand.
Greedy promptly refused, and when
they further insisted he ordered
them out of his tent. Weak
as he was he threatened to
shoot them on the spot if they did
not obey, and they went. Every officer
OF the relief expedition has expressed
admiration for Greely's pluck and man
agement. If there is any fight over the
matter you may rest assured that Greedy
may hold his own. He is no fool. He will
undoubtedly be promoted if there is not
strong opposition iu high places. I have
no idea that the story about Brainerd is
true. He ought to be promoted, for he
| deserves it if ever man did.

The result of the election in Maine
carries chill to the very marrow of the
democratic organization. Instead of
an expected weakening in republican
ranks it shows increased strength at an
important crlsls in the affairs of the
party. It had been asserted that if
Maine gave majority Of ten thousand
for the republican ticket the result
would be accepted as favorable to the
national cause of the party.
But the count runs the
majority so far above the figures of
safety that it restores perfect confidence
IN the future. The independents appear
to be more numerous in the newspapers
than at the polls and when it comes to
actual voting the rank and file of the
republican party put their ballots in
shape to sustain the time honored prin.
ciples of that organization. As Maine
goes SO goes the country, Is saying SO
often proven that it will be we'll to bear
it in mind on this occasion.

An effort was made to tender him re.

At the Huron legislative caucus

At the Huron legislative caucus on
Monday there was an interesting con.
test over preference for member of the
council. On the beginning Huron had
three candidates: s. @. Nash, backed
by the Times; A. B. Melville, backed by
the Leader, and T. NJ. Jeffries, backed
by the Huronite. It became evident
that a continuation of the triangular
fight would result in the expression of q
preference for Melville. So the Nash
and Jeffries elements pooled their issues
and agreed to divide the Huron dele
gates, fourteen in number, between the
two. The result of the balloting wa.
that Melville received 224 votes and thu
fusionists 24S votes. The opinion il
that the county will endorse Mr.. Jeffries
for the legislature.

THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY, September

OF things" natural harmony of proportion.
in making the mountain nights and sea
depths equal, and a natural inclination of
the human intellect to the ''unities'' will be
likely to accept that conclusion in spite of
the vagaries and uncertainties of methods of
measurement. One thing only is absolutely
certain, and that is that man can rise to the
highest elevation, and live and return to tell
it, but he will never get down 10 the lowest
depths and come back dead or alive. That
awful mystery at the bottom of five miles of
water win never be revealed except in drib-
lets brought up by the spoonful in sounding
leads.

A WORD TO THE METHODIST
CLERGY.

As Brother Marine delivered quite en-
effective appeal for the Republican ticket
few Sunday nights ago from his pulpit on
Central avenue, in this city, we claim that
the twoletters written by the Widow Duncan
ventilating certain portions OF the record Of
the Republican candidate for Governor of
Indiana should be read to the members OF
the same church. Our reasons are that Mrs
Duncan is member of excellent repute aud
in good standing in the Methodist Church.
She claims that it was through Mr.. Calkins
that she was turned adrift in the world with
out home, with two children and a mother
over eighty years of age to support. Upon
that home she had paid $l,4OO, and
as result of Mr.. Calkins
turning her out of the postohise
at Westville, Ind. she lost crery cent Of that
money. That is her indictment in "a nutshell
against the Republican candidate for Coy
erDor.
There is no politics in this matter. It
rises clear above it, aud, as Brother Marine
made an appeal-indirectly we admit-for
the election of Mr. Calkins from his pulpit,
we demand that he undo this great wrong
done the Widow Duncan by reading her two
letters from his pulpit tomorrow night, ex-
planning her charges against the Repub-
hcan candidate for Governor. The Journal
and the Republican organs hereabOuts de-
cline to publish Mrs. Duncan's letters, and
as she is a member of the Methodist Church,
it looks as if the cause of religion aud
justice alike demand that the Methodist
clergy throughout Indiana should present
Mrs. Duncan's case to the members of that
Church. This is one of the most outrageous
cases of the kind that ever came under the
notice of this paper. Let Mrs. Duncan have
the opportunity to be heard in her own
ohurob at loast

now represented by Democrats. The humor
OF the interview is in its conclusion:
els Blaine's libel suit making much pro-
gressr'
"All that is possible. 1t can not be hur.
ried any faster in the civil court2"
Would not an action for criminal libel
have reached the merits of the case more
promptly"
81 suppose it would, aud have every rsa-
son to believe that such an action will be
brought. 1t is more than probable"
A criminal libel would necessitate Blaine's
presence. This was all gone over by the Re.
publican managers hereabouts, and they
'rere afraid to risk is consequences. Perhaps
there is time yet to change the programme.
Something desperate must be done by the
Republican bosses p. d. q. or Blaine will be
the worst defeated man that ever ran for
the Presidency. The only chance for sue
cess now is to take him from the ticket and
put a new man on.

ANOTHER EXODUS.

We have information from the most reli-
able sources that the Southern negroes are
being brought into the State from various
points that they may get settled down in
time to take part in the November election.
They are arriving in squads of ten, fifteen
and twenty. Fourteen new arrivals are re-
ported from Kentucky as having settled in
Sand Greek Township, Bartholomew County.
Another lot of eighteen arrived in this city
from South Carolina only few days ago.
Our friends will remember that the State
law requires a bona fide residence OF six
months in the State be ore citizen of the
United States can acquire the right to vote in
Indiana. All arrivals OF the kind referred to
must be noted.

THE SOLID, NAKED AND UNDENIABLE

Twenty years Of continuous naladminis-
tration, under the demoralizing int1u-
ence of internecine war; and OF bad
finance, have infected the whole govern
mental system of the United States with the
cancerous growths OF false construction and
corrupt practices. Powerful classes have
acquired pecuniary interests in official
abuses, and the moral standards of the peo-
pie haYe been impaired. Samuel J. Til
denis Letter of Defamation.
mo reform of administration is possible
so long as the Cove rnment is directed by a
party which is under the domin ion of false
doctrines and animated by enormous pecu-
MARY interests in the perpetuation OF ex-
listing abuses.
The first effsctual step in the reform of
our Government must be a fundamental
change in the policy OF its administration.
The work of reform will be difficult enough
with the whole power OF the Government
exertsd in accomplishing it."-Samuel J..

WHO THEY ARE.

1t is simply amusing to see the Republican
organs of this city squirm under the address
issued by the Independent Republican AS
ISOLATION of this city last Saturday.
Having no way in the world to meet the
clear and forcible arguments advanced in
their address giving their reasons
for supporting Cleveland, the or
CANS are endeavoring to create the
impression that the organization amounts
to but little, and the committee who signed
the address are men of no particular prom
inence. Let as see who the men are. It
should be remembered they have heretofore
been true and tried Republicans, and speak
for an organized club of over two hundred
in this city alone. Lucius B. Swift, the
Chairman, for many years has been lawyer
of this city, standing well in his profession
and as citizen.
George w. Evans the Secretary, is we'll
known teacher in the Classical School OF
this city.
Louis Rowland. the Treasurer, is a son OF
the late John D. Rowland, for many years
Chancellor of the United States Circuit
Court, and by profession is lawyer.
James G. Blythe Is at present the cashier
of one of the leading banks Of Peru,
Ind. He was for many years the
cashier of the Indiana National Bank of this
city. Charles f. Brooks is a well-known
citizen, being connected with the Malleable
Iron Works of this city, which position he
has held for several years. Charles +. Fer
guson is the well-known writer on tariff re-
form, and is connected with large whole
sale dry goods house in this city,
and Lindley Vinton is the President OF
the Vinton Iron Works, of this city, work
ing several hundred men.
So much for the character of the men sign
ing the address, representing the Indepen-
dent Republicans of Indianapolis. Their
language in regard to the unfitness of Blaine
is strong. They strike sledge-ham.
mer blows. No wonder it makes
the Republican officeholders aud organs
vince. Another able member OF the club,
Mr.. John T. Dye, viii address the citizens of
indianapolis on next Thursday evening at
English Opera House, when Mr.. Blaine will
be shown up in his true light, as Mr.. Dye
will turn an electric light upon him, so that
he who runs may read his record. Mr. Dye
stands IN the front rank al the indianapolis
bar and among the very ablest lawyers Of

and the net profit to the manufacturers was
81 .o26, 100000, which is equal TO profit of
sl.OS on every dollars worth of labor en-
ployed. The wage-workers received on an
average Of 1864 year, and the profit that
accrued to the manufacturers on each wage
mans labor in the same period was 1913.
For these and many other reasons the De-
mocracy are and ever will be opposed to the
Republican system of protection.
