DEMOCRATIC FoRGERs.

The Democratic party, the party that dealt
in cipher kilograms while trying to buy the
electoral votes they could not steal in 1876;
the party that forged the infamous Morey let
ter in 1880; the party that forged the Green
B. Raum circular only few days ago, is still
true to its traditions for treachery and fraud.
Embittered by its overwhelming defeat in
Maine, and blandly ignoring the palpable fact
that not less than $4,000 Democrats in that
State have just voted in favor Of the prohibit
tory amendment as a local measure, the Dem
ocratic managers in indianapolis were shame
less enough to issue and circulate forged
.'dodger9 calling last nights Republican
jubilee meeting. It was worded in the form
of congratulation over the fact that the pro-
hibition amendment had carried in Maine,
and sought to convey the idea that the meet
ing was called for the purpose Of celebrating
that event. These false circulars were thickly
scattered among the German people OF the city,
with what purpose is evident What must be
the Democratic estimate of German intelligence
that these cheap swindles are attempted Do
those in control of the Democratic party in
this city and State imagine or believe that
Germans do not or can not read that they
hope to dupe them so easilyY Our German
fellow-citizens know as well as anybody knows
that the Maine liquor law was passed at a time
when the Democratic party was in control in
that State They know, too, that the amend
ment was not made q political issue in last
Mondays election; that neither the Repub-
hcan nor Democratic party took sides on that
question. And what is more, they know that
after the Democratic party gained power in
Ohio the Democratic Legislature did not re-
peal the Scott law, nor did the Democratic
Supreme Court afford relief to saloon keepers.
# the Indianapolis Democracy wish to at
tempt to fool intelligent Germans by means
Of forged circulars, and to compel the liquor
interest to expose itself to the danger of poll
tics it is welcome. We think, however, that
the benefits accruing will be meager

The Sentinel of today says: s'Calkins, in
his speech on Saturday might declared that a
negro who would vote the Democratic ticket
ought to be put back into slavery And
again "Calkins, in his speech on Saturday
night, said that soldier who would vote the
Democratic ticket ought to be shot, Now,
did Mr.. Calkins make these assertions9 Answer
in next issue and oblige, VOTER
STAUNToN, Sept, 10.
OF course he did not; and we are surprised
that a man Of any intelligence in the State
should ask the question. The assertions in
the Sentinel are only a part of the Democratic
campaign Of lying about public men and slam
dering honorable women, in which the Sen
tinel seems to delight to take the lead We
should not deem it worth while to deny such
absurd statements as our correspondent quotes
had not Major Calkins himself, in his speech
at Vernon on Wednesday night, seen fit to no
tice them He said:
II scarcely ever pay any attention to cam
paign lies publisheds e6neefhing me, by Demo
cratic papers. lest some honest man in the
State may be misfed by the most recent false
hood, viii step aside from my usual course
long enough to expose two distinct lies uttered
by the Indiapapol lis Sentinel of this date i did
not say in my speech at the Park Theater in
indianapolis, on Saturday night last, that
any soldier who voted the Democratic ticket
ought to be shot, nor did say that any. col
ored person who voted the Democratic ticket
ought to be shot, or enslaved,' and did not
utter or say any words of that import or mean
ing; and the publication of such falsehoods
is sure indication of the lamentable condi-
ton of the Democratic party in this State
This should stop any controversy over this
matter But, Of course the Sentinel will con
tinue to repeat the lie. Lies and ISLANDERS are
the sole stock in trade Of Democratic papers,
and itwould be too much to ask of them to
tell the truth. So far as Republicans arecon-
cerned, it should be sufficient. 81

LET Grover Cleveland modestly retire, and
let the Democrats adopt Butler, or take up
Hendricks, Thurman, Bayard, or Randall
and all may yet be saved New York Sun.
MI. Hendricks and his friends seem still to
pursue Grover Cleveland. Do they not think
they have done him enough dirt already by
their persistent use of the Maria Halpin story,
and the Dubuque letter. Political history
will be searched in vain for such perfdy as
has been shown toward Mr. Cleveland in the
interest of Thomas A. Hendricks.

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DISHONESTY.


If there be such thing as an epidemic Of
crime, or contagion Of immortality and dishon-
esty, it must now prevail in this country.
The number of defalcations, breaches of trust,
failures through speculation, and other genteel
modes Of gambling and stealing, is astonish-
ing The press is burdened daily with details
Of bank failures through the dishonesty of Of
fcials, Of cashiers absconding, of business fail
ures through the rascality of trusted em-
ployes Of suspensions in all branches Of com
merce and traffic on account Of stock and
grain gambling, fast living, and criminal neg
igeuce of the first principles of safe business
In Indiana a bank goes down with rumors
that the missing resources were lost in rail-
way bond speculations At New Brunswick
n. j., tile cashier stole the funds, revealing
the fact that the president of the institution
had overdrawn his account by $4,000. The
guilty men, in this instance, unable to face
the consequences of their acts, committed
suicide, adding crime to crime and entailing
additional pain and distress to their surviving
relatives. At Louisville, a large mercantile
house goes down because Of the preparation
Of a series Of most shameless rascalities, and
that, too, by the members of the firm, long
honored and trusted by the business com
munity of which they wers apart. Spectila-
ton and peculation have become synonym
almost, save that the latter has swelled from
petty pilferings to wholesale istealings, NUM-
cipal and county officials have fallen victims
to the craze, and scores Of them have proven
recreant to their trusts. And these are but. a
few of the great number fresh in the minds Of
the reading public.
The immediate cause Of this succession Of
financial failures through defalcations in
nearly every instance is gambling in margins,
in stocks. in grain or in oil. And back Of
this is the inordinate desire to get rich,
and if not to get rich, to be enabled to
live as though wealthy. The spirit Of
envy and vanity is eating up the soul Of
honor The cashier who gets 81, 900 a
year for his services lives at a $4,000 rate.
He frequently outdoes his employer in man
per Of living, and stranger still generally sur
passes him in generous gifts to worthy causes.
All these things call for money. The So oOo
salary is not enough, and to make good the
deficiency the trusted clerk, the cashier the
extrayagant partner, draws surreptitiously from
the firms funds, intending to use them to
make one deal" from the profits Of which
the sum borrowed is to be replaced. But
in ninety-nine cases in hundred the deal
turns out bad, and loss instead Of a gain is OK.

Mr.. Hendricks must be under the impression
that he is running for the Office of county
sheriff. The truth is that the entire Demo-

ident on higher grounds than those upon
which Mr. Hendricks has pitched his canvass.

in an exhausted condition, but still alive. So
tightly were the wires wrapped about him that
it was an hour before he could be released. As
