A SILLY LIE Exploded.
The Statement as to COL RobertsOnS Remarku
at Portland Refuted by Honest Men.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journals
A letter from this county published in the
Sentinel Of the 9th, says that Col r. s. Robert
son. the Republican candidate for Lieutenant
governor, in his speech at Portland on the 2lst
of September sa!d 1.-THE Republican plank on the
temperance question was so constructed that it
is adapted to tie beer-drinking Germans Of AL.
len, and the Prohibition Qual1ers of Wayne
county" and adds, These are his Identical
words" We were present and attentive listen-
ers to every word of that speech, and desire to
say, in justice to Colonel Robertson, that the
whole statment is an unmitigated falseho0d.
No such language was used, nor was anf
thing said by Colonel Robertson that could be
construed into such statement. His speech
was very able and manly presentation of Re-
publican principles and was well received by the
people of all parties

Magone, of New York, who, according to this

down for his guidance, and is altogether a

LTBELS AND PERFUMES.
WHERE IS THE MONEY!

The only answer that has been attempted
to the charge that frauds have been perpetrated
in the Insane Asylum, and that its inmates
have been fed on unfit food, is that they were
libels and periuries. These charges were
made in the report Of committee Of the Civil
service Reform Association of the State. The
report was not a Republican one but was non
partisan.
I The statements as to cruelties in that re-
port were taken from the report of Superin-
tendent Fletcher to the board of trustees
Was this libel or perjury?
The statement that P. NJ. Gapen had drawn
his pay for nearly a year without attending
the meetings of the board was taken from the
minutes of the trustees. Did the trustees
write libels or commit perjuries?
The fact that John E. Sullivan was refused
claim by the previous board because he de-
livered oleomargarine, is also among the min
utes. Is that a libel or perjury?
The fact that John E. Sullivan was paid
higher price for the same article than other
bidders proposed to furnish it for is shown by
the superintendent report for May, 1885.
Was that report libel or perjury
The character of j. S. Hall, the book keep
er, is made clear in the protest Of DR.. Fetch
er, recorded in the minutes of the board Did
DR.. Fletcher write libel or perjury, and
did the trustees record libel or periury9
Will Democrats permit libelers and per-
jurers among their own board Of trustees and
among their most trusted and highest Off
Gals?
Lot the Democracy take either horn of the di-
lemma. The charges in the report of the civ
il-service committee are either true or the
testimony given by Democrats is libelous and
false Which is it9
The charges are true, and no one dares to
deny them. The Democratic party of the
State is dumb before the infamous record that
has been spread out to the people of the State.

PUBLIC PRINTER BENEDICT has dismissed
500 employees from the Government Printing
Office, and the Democratic organs are explain
ing that he did this on the score of economy
and because that number of workmen were
superfuous, while the mugwump papers say
that wholesale removals were made necessary
by the insufficient appropriations. That
neither of these explanations is quite sufficient
to cover the case is shown by the fact that
Mr.. Benedict is already beginning to make ap-
poiutments to fill the vacancies. It is prob
ably not necessary to remark that in all cases
Democrats are chosen to succeed discharged
Republicans. The new official would have
made a little more and better political capital
for his party by restraining his partisan eager

of London. He delivered an address on the
iron and steel-making resources of Great
Britain and the United States, and showed
that the British output of Bessemer steel was
constantly decreasing, and he warned his hear
ers that if there should be a war or CONNER
cial struggle blind belief in their own supremacy
would be dangerous, and that disregard Of
their antagonists power would result in dis
aster These words are those of a gentleman
who has stood at the head of the largest iron
and steel association in England, and are not
transmitted through any advocate Of protec-
ton, but came through the irregular Associated
Press report. Protection has resulted in so
establishing the manufactures of the United
States that they are rivaling those of the oldest
countries in the world. The principle will be

DEMOCRATIC papers in States bordering In
diana are interested in the outcome of the ap-
preaching election, but never in the history of
the politics of Indiana has there been such
feeble support afforded the party as in this
campaign The reason is easily discovered.
The party has no principle for which it is
fighting, but, on the contrary, is the de-
fensive for some of the most contemplate
tricks ever perpetrated in the interest of party
bosses. This is why the Democratic papers
of cities outside of Indiana cannot take part
in the campaign with any enthusiasm. The
gerrymander alone was enough to discourage
a good many of them, who felt that such an
outrageous thing as that called for the defeat
of the party. The fight will have to be made
by the speakers and papers directly interested
in the theft of popular suffrage.

SILVER.

Mr. Evarts recently said in the
Senate that If the European Powers
should not, before the next session OF
Congress, redress the divergence be-
tween gold and silver, the United
States would have to take decisive
action for herself--not by making a
larger silver dollar, but by the power of
law, by which alone he held the value
of money was assigned. Hawaii has
fortunately kept on the right track, to
be out of the range of currency trou-
bles, by adhering to the gold standard.
1t may be necessary to America to
maintain the silver standard, but the
of the question are different
in this country. Our products are
paid for in gold, and, having no silver
mines to protect we had better stick
to the gold standard.
