Speech by Mr.. Blaine.
AN LETTER.

DIR. B%urchard's Slip of the Tongue VIII Not
Injure Mr. Blaine Among Catholics.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Following is an i'm
portant letter from Father Sylvester Malone,
pastor of SITS. Peter and Paul Church, Brooklyn,
one of the most eminent and able priests in
Brooklyn:
brooklyn, Oct. 81.
ITO Hon. James G. Blaine:
my Dear Sir-You need not fe / annoyed at
the words of DR.. Burchard, at the meet
ing at the Fifth-avenue Hote: Oct 20.
Cleveland's supporters were appalled, at the vast
ness and decision of that grand body and the
resolutions adopted. 1t was an unguarded ex-
preston of DR.. Burchards, and was not de-
signed to be offensive to the Roman Catholic
Church, of which | am a member, or to the
church of SITS. Peter and Paul, of which
L have been pator for forty-one
years. DR.. Burchard SIMPLY designed to arraign
the Democratic party for its sins. l am glad
that DR.. Burchard disclaims, publicly, all inten-
ton to wound the feelings of the Catholics, and
that he arrays himself on the side of religious
freedom. His statement is satisfactory
to Roman Catholics. Our Irish and
Roman Catholic friends are not to be
moved from your support because of a
slip of the tongue of one gentleman. We stand
in approval of the great meeting Of the Fifth
avenue Hotel for the purity of home, and are
OppOSeu 10 All WHO WOulu uSS6CfdJ6l H. puCu d
meeting betokens the deep feeling of religious
people. No demagogues of Mr.. Cleveland's sup
porters can move the Roman Catholic friends
of purity from your support. While we
know you to be a Protestant, we
know you to be a foe to no religious organ
ization and a friend of all associations to i'm
prove the condition of humanity.
'We are against Mr.. Cleveland and Democrat
ic misrule, and for the purity of the family. L
append an article which will appear in the
BROOKLYN Eagle to morrow.
Yours truly, SYLVESTER MALONE,
Pastor Of SITS. Peter and Paul, Brooklyn, E.. D."
The letter of Father Malone to the Brooklyn
Eagle is as follows:
"Mr. Editor-It is we'll that this community
should be aware of the fact that Catholic
priests, if they vote at all, should not be known
to favor a candidate who has confessed
his scandalous amours, and who is
charged by responsible parties as still a
libertine. 1t was for this reason that l
stated to n Sun reporter that l do not think Mr..
Cleveland will receive the support of the Cath
Ole clergymen of Brooklyn. l did not believe
that they would cease to regard chastity as a
very great virtue, and adopt the New York
Evening Posts demoralizing teachings on
so essential a virtue in our Chris
tian civilization. Is it a fact that
party fealty so blinds our ecclesiastics
as to bring them out as positive upholders of
such'a eandidate9 L, for one, will not do so, not
because 1 am a Republican, but because 1 am a
priest of the Holy Catholic Church, whose moral
teachings l am bound to uphold by word and ex-
ample. Respectfully yours,
VESTER MALONE

History of the Country.
New YORK, Oct. 31.-At the business mems
meeting this afternoon, in Chickering Hall, Sen
ator Sherman delivered an elaborate address.
At the conclusion of his remarks Mr.. Blaine
came upon the stage. His appearance was the
signal for a very enthusiastic demonstration,
which lasted some minutes. When silence was
restored Mr.. Blaine said:
Business Men of New York: I deem it an
honor to follow Senator Sherman. Applause.

Sherman Iapplausel, for L can say that in our

good fortune of William H. Crawford, after the
great depression that followed our victorious
struggle, TO revive the national credit by the
protective tariff of 1924. Applause. 1t was

Democracy

APRoPos of the malicious, devilish ISLANDERS
set afoat about Hon. W. Fl. Calkins, it is to
be recalled that in 1872 similar charges were
made against General Thomas NJ. Browne. 1t
was then asserted that General Browne was
drunk in New Albany, and the Democrats
said they had the affdavits to prove it.
Of course, it was a cruel and baseless
lie, as is the charge now against Major
Calkins, but it then served the purpose of
turning enough votes of temperance men
from General Browne to Mr.. Hendricks-who
made a bargain with the leaders to sign the
Baxter bill, which he carried QUITO elect
that prince of demagogues by a small major
ity. The temperance men who were then
made the cat's-paws of the Democratic party
lived to regret their folly. Are they going to
repeat their blunder this year7 Does the
foul, villainous lie of a cowardly
Democrat have more weight with them than
the voluntary testimony Of such men as
Samuel Perry, of Wayne county, who made
a personal investigation of the charges, or
that of scores and hundreds of Major Calkins's
neighbors and friends at LaPorte, such men
as the pastors of the Presbyterian and Metho-
dist churches7
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-11-01

ONE of the most prominent citizens of La
Porte, a Presbyterian pastor, writes to Rev.
L. G. Hay, of this city, who had inquired of
him as to the infamous stories in circulation
regarding Mr.. Calkins, as follows:
owe are confident that he is not an in
temperate man; his appearance speaks on that
point to anyone who sees him. y n y [
am by long conviction and tendency a Prohi-
bitionist-believe in, talk and preach it, and
if l go to the polls ON next Tuesday, as 1 ex-
pect to, shall vote for Calkins."
The most monstrous thing about these
baseless lies about Major Calkins is, that they
are retailed by some persons who claim not
only to be moral but to be Christian men.

In answer to a dispatch asking if he really
said that if the men who had broken the sew
enth commandment would vote for Cleveland
he would be elected by 200, 900 majority, Mr..
Beecher replied: 81 said = y that if all
the respectable sinners in New York would
cast one stone apiece, there would be enough
to build a wall of defense for Cleveland; in
deed, if every man who had broken the sew
enth commandment would vote for Cleveland
he would be elected by a large majority, y y
and | stand by my words" Mr.. Beecher IS
both a liar and a filthy slanderer.

GAN attempt by a lot of political parse

GAN attempt by a lot of political parsons to
deceive the people" is the way an enraged
Cleveland organ refers to the visit of the
thousand New York %clergymen to Mr.. Blaine.
AS this thousand is backed by ten thousand
others throughout the country, it really looks
as if there was an awful conspiracy among
them. The worst of it is, too, that it can't be
stamped out. AS Judge David Davis is ac-
cused of supporting Blaine because he wants
Office, it will probably be alleged next that
the clergymen favor him because they hope to
be appointed ministers to somewhere.

THE Prohibitionists third party are send
ing out tickets with Butler and West headings
but with the st. John electors. This, of
course is a fraud, so intended. Its purpose is
to deceive. These high moral gentlemen do
not hesitate to descend to political tricks,
which in another State would subject them to
legal punishment. They know their own
straight vote will be insignificant, and they
are trying to steal som of the Butler votes
to make a mi-respectable showing.

THE OLD SOLDIERS.

The man who did not recognize in yester-
days celebration one of the most significant
meetings of the campaign, is very obtuse.
Coming so late in the campaign and following
the great Blaine demonstration after an inter
val of a week only, the crowd was remarkably
large and enthusiastic. But there was more
in the crowd than mere numbers. TIL thou
sands of men who assembled yesterday to
meet and greet General Logan were for the
most part veterans, the very men who
tw%enty-four years ago went to battle
for their country and universal
freedom. They are the men who marched
with Logan from Atlanta to the sea, remnants
of that army of patriotic veterans that, after
fierce and prolonged struggle, strangled the re-
bellion. After the lapse of nearly a quarter
of a century they gathered, many of them to
see Logan for the first time since they were
mustered out,
Strange thoughts must have come to them
as they marched once more in column
behind their old commander. A score
of years ago he led them to
hard victory against a solid South
and a treacherous Democratic party in the
North. Then, as now, Thomas A. Hendricks
was opposed to Logan in all he undertook;
then, as now, the solid South was employing
every means, fair and foul, to Garry" Indiana.

The very man who, twenty years ago, was
hostile to the cause for which they braved the
dangers Of war, is now d candidate
for the second highest place in
the Nation, and against the gallant
and loyal Logan7 Was ever metamorphosis
more startling9 How would it be if the men
who saved this Republic had the ruling of it,
What kind of chance would Thomas A. Hen
bricks stand against the bravest volunteer
general in our history? The men who fol-
lowed and who cheered General Logan yester-
day, and then gathered around to hear his
masterful discussion of the great questions of
the day, still love and honor him. His career
in Congress has matched his splendid
services in the field, and he is now
recognized as one of the ablest and most
fearless campaigners of his day. AS brilliant,
dashing, determined, and as thoroughly in
earnest as when on raid a or in a charge upon
the enemy, he was listened to with attention
never accorded save to those who hold the
hearts Of their auditors. Thunders Of APP
plause greeted him again and again as he I'M
raveled the sophistries of free trade and laid
bare the inconsistencies Of the opposition in
their endeavor to dodge this great issue.
General Logan fully sustained his reputation
as an orator and statesman, fully advised in
all the great questions of the hour.
His peroration, addressing the assembled sol
diers particularly, was marvelously effective,
and won heartiest response. The occasion, al
together, was a glorious one for Republican
ism and for the ''boys" who fought with Lo-
gan from Atlanta to the sea. 1t will not soon
be forgotten, nor will the stirring words of
their great commander be lost upon them.

THE report of the speech of Mr.. Beecher in
Newark, as reported in the Journal, is errone-
Gus in the use of one word. What Mr..
Beecher really said was, that if all the men
in New York who had violated the seventh
commandment voted for Cleveland, WE would
elect him by 200, 900 majority. Mr.. Beecher
is entitled to the correction.

Suppose it possible that a body of several
hundred ministers, representing all Christian
porto express their confidence in his official
integrity and personal purity what answer
would he be expected to make to them9 In his
letter to Mrs. Beecher he spoke of ''the affair
that was not denied, y and that affair" has SO
stained his moral character that he would be
compelled to stand dumb before such a
company of clergymen as confronted Mr.. Blaine
