Democratic Inconsistency.

The democratic platform, like all other
political platforms pronounces against
the importation of foreign pauper labor,
and yet the principles of the democratic
party and the utterances of it's platforms
and speakers are in favor of admitting
free, or nearly so, the results of foreign
pauper labor. Now any reasonable per-
son can see that it would be much better
to admit the foreign pauper labor than
to encourage the free admission Of the
products of foreign pauper labor, because
in the first instance that labor would be
consuming something while producing
while in the latter instance it would not
be consuming anything while it was pro-
ducing the competition with high
priced American labor would be the same
in both instances.

Notes.

special from indianapolis, Ind. of
tuesday, says: Senator VOORHEES, opened
the campaign in this city tonight for the
oeIhocrarcy In lengthy speech. deliver
ed TO large audience in TomIinson hall.
MI. voorhees, was escorted to the hall by
the Young Mems Democratic Club, ind
on the platform with him were seated 800
or more OF the leading and prominent
democrats of the state. The senator was
introduced by ex-senator Mcdonald. and
was heartily received as he began his ad-
dress, which lasted nearly two hours. He
devoted himself exclusively to an answer
to the republican state platform, his
method of reply being to contrast repub-
hcan conductswith what the platform
condemned on the question of a free and
fair count or count. Mr.. VOORHEES, re-
hearsed the fraud of 1876 at great length
and it was significant that any allusion to
this fraud evoked more applause than all
else. On the civil service he reverted to
Belknap, the whisky ring, and the APP
poIntment to Office of the visiting states
men of the south. He denied the bad
character OF Indiana appointments, and
argued that the republican party was the
enemy of sound finance and of the best
interests of labor. He defended Mr..
Cleveland for his pension vetoes. and
then showed how congress had appropri-
ated more money for tensions than ever.
while the pension office was doing more
work than before. The gerrymander
MT. voorhees, defended by asserting that
the republicans had done the same thing
IN 1867 and in 1873, and this was the ten
or of the speech from beginning to end.
He said President Cleveland could not
do more because of the republican SEN
ate.
Although the senator had fine audi
ence 1t did not respond with the usual
enthusiasm to his written speeches, but
finally Mr.. Voorhees, was warmly received.
He speaks at Terre Haute tomorrow
night and then leaves the state for two
weeks, when he will return and continue
IN campaign until its close.

THERE is intense excitement in the

The people rushed to the scene, and while
laboring to save the house word came
that the farm buildings of John Dorr

ly guarded night and day, and armed
men patrol the streets by night. These
fires all started in broad daylight at about
the same time of day and were set in the
barns. The Inhabitants secure no rest,
and every family has its household goods

A western senator and his wife, who are
childless, console themselves with pet
dogs. Visitors at the handsome residence
of Ex-senator in Washington frequent
ly complained that the dogs came in for
a larger share of the attention from host
and hostess than they did. But as the
senator is wealthy and gives plenty to eat
at his entertainments the visitors keep
coming all the same. Two or three weeks
since, says a Baltimore Sun cores ondent
the senator and Mrs. Senator left for a
pleasure trip, after repeated injunctions
to the servants to let no harm befaIl the
dear little dOggies which were left at
home. But as luck would have it, only
the next day big mastiff passed by as
one of the pets, King Charles Spaniel
was taking an airing on the front terrace.
The big fellow was in an i'll humor, prob
ably from envy, so he picked the little
fellow up by his gold collar and fairly
shook the life out of him. The sad news
was telegraphed to the mistress, who i'm
mediately returned, and had an elaborate
burial dress and fine coffin prepared for
her pet, and sent him home to be inferred
in the family lot. She did not have any
burial services read over the remains, al
hough this ceremony was actually carried
,ut not very long since by another fash
enable Washington lady over a Skye
errier which had come to an untimely
end.
