themselves unable to understand the temperance
resolution in the Republican platform, proclaim
themselves imbeciles or gnoramuses. Whoever

might, with equal consistency, pursue the same
course with the statement, one and one make

Richmond Palladium: The fallacy of the free
trade theory is that the foreign price is fixed
one, and that we must pay that price whether
we have foreign import duties not. The
truth is that British manufacturers must sell
their wares, at a large profit if they can, at q
small one if they must, and the price at which
they sell to US is regulated solely by home
competition.

the Legislature at the coming election. IL they
succeed they will have consummated the greatest
outrage ever practiced upon the voters of Indi.

festivals which exceeded in interest and enthusi-
asm anything of the kind in former years. An
army of total abstanerS opened this series OF

order OF exercises unbroken for over ten hours,
music by a choir of over ). 900 voices. and ad-
dresses in various parts of the palace, were
features of that day.

that the consumer buys of American working
men it is simply pettifogging and seeking to
confuse ideas for its own purposes. The con-

IT would have been far better for doctor"
Harrison to have left unanswered the serious
charges made against him in letter to the
Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette, than to have
come out in an evasive, disingenuous and I'M
fair explanation Our Lebanon correspondent
says that c. S. Wesner, who was Dr. Har-
rison's attorney in the trial before the County
Commissioners, says publicly that "every
charge and allegation was proven, and proven
conclusiveiy; that the Commissioners decided
that the question as to jurisdiction was well
taken, as the trial was had at special instead
of regular session. and that at his (the attor-
ney's) suggestion, they found for the defend
ant, and that he be not removed" AS to
doctor" Harrison's retention of the office of
county superintendent the record shows that
the term for which he was originally elected
expired June 70, one year after his
trial. When tho trustees met to elect in
June, 1870 eleven of the twelve were
present. After organizing, nominations were
called for, and W. II. Dickson, Republican,
and John W. Kise, Democrat, were nom
mated. Kise withdrew, whereupon a motion
was made to nominate Dickson by acclama-
ton, but one vote being in the negative a
ballot was declared necessary, which resulted,
Dickson, 5; James Dale, /, Dale being a
Greenbacker. Before the vote was taken the
Democrats withdrew. This was June 16. On
June % Dickson filed his bond, which was
approved, and he qualified. Harrison refused
to give up the Office. On June &c he got
transcript of the proceedings from the auditor
and went into court, meantime holding the
office, and that was how and why he contin-
ued.
1t is also of record that doctor" Harrison
was expelled from the Drake Medical Society,
the Boone county physicians organization,
upon charges similar to those made against
him before the Commissioners, the Doctor
not answering the summons to appear and de-
fend
Under this condition of things, we submit
that the Doctors reply has not helped him;
it would have been infinitely better if he had
refused to notice the charges altogether.

INDIANA DISFRANCHTSED.

In the last general election in the State Of
Indiana there was cast total vote Of 494, ia
At the meeting of the Democratic Legislature
next ensuing that election it fixed" the
congressional districts so the Democratic
party could carry ten of the thirteen. AT
this rate there should have been cast for that
party ten-thirteenths of the total vote of the
State, or $50, $50 votes. Had it cast this vote
it would have been honestly entitled to ten OF
the thirteen Congressman In point of fact.
however, it did not cast more than IA, 900
135, 600 votes that it did not cast but claimed
to represent Here is the problem of this
campaign. Is it to be recognized that any
political party is to arrogate to itself the right
to dictate for l35, 600 voters that do not
elect to 60 with it, From this it will be seer
that the Democratic party has forestalled
public opinion. and done so in manner that
gives the voters of the State of Indiana no
chance to speak for themselves. With any
thing like fair apportionment it could not
claim more than seven of the thirteen Con.
gressmen, or, if the line be drawn on the
strict boundary of right, it could not take to
itself more than six of the thirteen, for the
Democratic party is in the minority in this
State by little less than 5000 votes Here,
then, is theft of four Congressman and
swindle on 135, 900 legal voters, defrauding
them of theirrights as citizens Of Indiana, and
rendering their votes not worth the paper they
are printed on. The same results that have
been accomplished in the South by means of

the lash and shotgun are to be secured in In
diana by sharp trick of legislation, whereby
more than one-third Of the legal voters of In
diana are deliberately disfranchised. To Sc
cure this end the tricksters of the party the
Smart men Of the Liquor League, were
called in, and for weeks the scheme was pored
over and plotted until, when it was finished
it was the boast of the party managers that
they would undoubtedly carry ten of the thir-
teen districts, with a "fghting chance" in one
more, leaving to the opposition but two dis
tricts that could be relied on. Yet the oppo-
sition cast nearly 5000 more votes than did
the Democratic party. This is the point to
be settled before any other question can claim
attention. Free men are to make sure they are
free indeed before they can attempt anything
in the way of legislation. It remains that no
less than 135, 900 voters in this State are worse
than disfranchised for the reason that their
franchises are voted by men who do not rep
resent their wishes What has the Democrat
ic party to say in defense of this infamy.

HERE is the testimony of Mr. Gibson, a
man whose Democracy is certified to to the
satisfaction of Trustee Gapen, of the Insane
Asylum:
II saw some barrels of apples furnished by
Kreitlein, where the tops of the barrels con-
tanned one kind of apples and the bottom
contained apples of another kind inferior and
different. DR.. Fletcher directed these apples
to be returned, but Kreitlein sent them back
to the asylum, and they were afterwards &C.
copied by Hall, the steward, and by Gapen,
one Of the trustees. Nearly all that Kreit-
lein sent was in very bad condition. Goods
were received over DR.. Fletchers condemna-
ton again and again. They were simply sent
there and left He would make complaints
nearly every month. but they were not heed

Kreitlein's rice was inferior. 1t was not the
rice which was bid for. His prunes were very
bad, and his coffee was bad"

Prohibition a Failure in Kansas.


We have opposed the prohibitory law because
it has proved failure in every State where 1t
has been adopted. It is failure in Kansas as
the 200 open saloons in Leavenworth will bear
