IT is understood that the correspondent Of the
Chicago Times is connected with the State organ
of the Democracy. In the special dispatch from
indianapolis published in the Times of this
morning is the following allusion to Senator
Voorhees, position on things:
Voorhees, seems to be in decidedly bad odor
among the Democratic hosts about the hotels to.
night. and his professed anxiety about the plat
form is regarded a mere subterfuge The
Senator himself it is known. is not at all hope
full of the Democrats carrying the State in No
vember. He has admitted this much in private
conversation to day, although to the Times cor
respondent, who saw him for a moment he de-
clared that the prospects were never better, and
that the Indiana Democrats were thoroughly
pleased with the administration and would in
doree it heartily. To his confidants, however,
he speaks very sghtingly of the administration,
damns civil-service reform with all the emphasis
of slashing epithets, and speaks discouragincly
of the condition OF the Democratic party in the
State and country. Like Orator Puff, he has
two tones in his voice, one for the inner circle
and one for the great army of the unterriied
Hoosisr Democracy, whose idol he used to be,
but is no longer"

Mrs. BLACK, wife of the leading counsel
for the defense in the Chicago Anarchist case,
is one Of the women who have taken it upon
themselves to supply the murderous wretches
on trial with flowers She isquoted as saying
in florists shop, when purchasing the daily
stock of bouquets: II want them for the poor
saints at the Criminal Court. The dear
martyrs are being sorely tried by the tyrants,
and I fear something will happen to them
But If anything does, there are thousands
ready to tear their oppressors to pieces"
1t is common enough trick with lawyers to
bring the relations of their criminal clients
into court for theatrical effect, but to call
upon members of their own families for such
services is something new in legal
tactics, and is open to objections
1t is expected of Attorney Black that he will
make the strongest possible plea for the
Anarchists, but having done so. it does not
necessarily follow that he will be accused of
believing their doctrines. With Mrs. Black it
is different. The public may be slow to un
derstand that she is retained in the case, and
when, in her zeal, she overdoes the role of
murderers' friend, and becomes too realistic,
she treads on dangerous ground, and "some-
thing may happen to her." Her appearance
in court, for instance, with a dynamite bomb
in her pocket or concealed in bouquet
might be followed by an arrest which would
be unpleasant. Mrs. Black should be toned
down.

The Ideas Of the Federationists.

LONDON. Aug 1.-THE Marquis of Salisbury
to day received a deputation of imperial fedora
tionists. who called upon him to urge the APP
pointment of royal commission or the sum-
moning Of a conference to inquire into the best
means of accomplishing closer federation of
the States composing the British empire; to se-
cure concerted action in time of war, and to pro-
mote direct intercourse by system of CONNER
cial and postal telegraph. Peter Redpath spoke
for Canada. The Marquis of Salisbury, In his
reply to the depntation, said it would be difficult
to overrate the importance of the sub
ject, and promised TO carefully consider
the suggestions made by the deputation, with
the exception of one, to the effect that the gov
eminent should enter into negotiations with
Germany for the evacuation by the latter power
of New California This suggestion, the Premier
said, outside of practical politics He hoped
the coonists would be able to contribute ma
terialy to the defense of the empire, and that
the men who devoted their lives and their
careers to that defense would in the future be
drawn moro together. In conclusion he ex-
pressed hearty sympathy with the general idea
of federation represented by the deputation,

The Philadelphia Knights of Labor want
the government to refuse to have anything to
do with the case of Cutting, the man con-
demned to Imprisonment in Mexican peni-
tertiary, because he was frat" and did not
belong to the union" In other words, the
Knights of Labor of Philadelphia want the
protection of this Nation withdrawn from all
men who do not belong to the same organiza-
tion they do. This is getting American citi-
zenship down to fine point.

THE President has taken occasion to slap
the Senate in the face by reappointing Post
master Button, of Lynchburg, Va, who
failed of confirmation by the Senate for the
reason that he had been very abusive of the
Senate in his paper, for he edits paper as
well as the postoffice. If this is not case Of
offensive craftsmanship it were hard to find
one, and the action Of the President shows
taat he does not believe in the practice of his
pet theory unless the offense is committed
against the Democratic party and allows of
TIE removal of Republican. Great is civil
service reform as interpreted by a Democratic
President.

FROM perusal o. papers published in the
South we gather that war with Mexico
would be national blessing, because it would
be the means of killing off large number Of
disconnected, vicious and dangerous citizens.
We also learn from the same source that,
should war be declared, the South would rush
TO the front as one man. Everything consid-
cred, it may, after ALL be the part of wisdom
to encourage the fiery and untamed Bayard in
seeking revenge, with the largest kind of an
"R, for the insult to the illustrious Cutting.

If an election were to be held in Texas to-
day it would go for Bayard by not less than a
million, or more if that were not enough to
satisfy him; but when it is determined that
this government can not go to war for the
sake of fellow who went across the Rio
Grande and deliberately defed the laws of
that country, the Democratic majority in
Texas will not be more than the total popula-
ton of the State, as it is now.

In the East many prominent Republicans are
of the opinion that Senator Harrison, of Indi

rest assured, that the nomination of General
Harrison would give them a candidate whose
private and public character would bear the
closest scrutiny. Some such man as Harrison
must be nominated If we succeed in 1888 With
such candidate, the Republican party can go

Democratic party of the Nation in 1880, ''tariff
for revenue only" will defeat the Democratic
party of Indiana in 1886.
AS was to be expected, the usual stereotyped
resolution was passed condemning what
Democracy terms sumptuary legislation on
the question of the liquor traffic. This was
meant to hold the allegiance of the saloon in
terest, while the closing clause, which came
near being forgotten, and was incorporated
after the resolution had been read and laid
aside, is intended as an apology for this posi-
ton, by saying that the revenue derived from
this source shall go to the maintenance of the
public schools.
The resolution indorsing the State govern
ment of Indiana was made general, for the
very good reason that the committee knew that
it dare not go into particulars; for it is of rec
ord that the State debt has been increased by
So, 900, 600 since the Democratic party came into
ministration of State affairs, by the Democrat
ic Legislature, especially, has been VIGOROUSLY
profigate and corrupt.
The resolution approving the legislation of
Congress respecting pensions is also general,
for the man who has shown that he is opposed
to the idea of decently compromising Union
veterans is Endorsed in the first resolution Of
the platform, showing that it was not meant,
but was put there to save the party from the
humiliation of confessing that it had a Presi-
dent that was not in accord with it. If
it is an excellent thing to pension the Union
soldier how is it that the vetoing President is
to be indorsed9
These are few of the inconsistencies of
the platform prepared for and by the Demo
cratic party of Indiana. These will in no wise
detract from the support they will receive
from the rank and file, but they will not win
the approval of thoughtful men, who are
looking for honest and candid expressions. and
desire single mindedness and honesty in adj
ministration. The people of Indiana do not
approve of the administration of President
Cleveland, which has brought no relief and
promises none; they no not approve of the
wasteful extravaganza Of Democratic admin
istration, and the corrupt action Of Demo.
cratic legislatures, and they do not approve of
striking down the system under which In
diana is rapidly becoming one of the first
manufacturing States of the Union.
The Democratic party goes into the fight
with an appearance of harmony The known
differences in factions were suppressed, yes
terday, in the interest of party success in
November. After they have WON'T win
they may or can-then the slumbering inter
nal quarrels will break out, and there will be
disgraceful scramble for the spoils. In the
meantime the voters and taxpayers of Indiana
will look to the convention Of the Cd of Sep
TENDER for platform and ticket that will
promise relief from the confessed imbecility
Of Democratic rule in State affairs, and that
will insure the return to power of party taat
is in harmony with the best moral and mate
rial interests Of the whole people.

LONDON, Aug. ia sensation has been
caused by the statements, made in court to-day,
in connection with the affairs of the Briton Med
ical and General Assurance Association. A
hearing petition to wind up the business of
the association was in progress and during the
course of the proceedings the judge stated that
the failure of the concern was due to defalca-
tons which would exceed $500. 900. He declared
that every effort would be made to unearth and
punish the miscreants who had caused the ruin
of the association.
