DEMOCRATS AND OWL SERVICE.


The Democratic politicians not only in this
State but throughout the country, do not at
tempt to disguise, even thinly, their hostility
to civil-service reform. In the platform of
the last Democratic State convention the plank
indorsing that reform was conspicuous for its
absence. The reasons for the omission admit
of two conjectures. 1t may be the conven-
ton thought that President Cleveland would
not hear of 1.-THE mails being very irregular
under this administration, and the chances
being that their platform, like most Demo-
cratic resolutions, would find its way ulti-
mately and naturally to the Office of dead
letters-or and this is the more probable con-
clusion, they did not care whether he heard it
or not. Senator Mcdonald is outspoken
against the law. The actions of Senator
Voorhees, speak louder than words. Governor
Gray also objects to the civil-service law.
His ideal of politics appears in the injunction
to "vote for the devil if necessary to
secure the election of United States Sena-
tor" This, as a rule Of political action, has
not even the poor merit of originality 1t ap-
pears in Parton's codifcation of the Burrian
code, in the following form: Fidelity to
party is the sole virtue of the politician. He
only is the politician who would vote unhesi-
tatingly for the devil, if the devil were regu-
larly nominated. One sin only is unpardon-
able-bolting." The attitude of the Governor
Of Indiana as the disciple Of Aaron Burr is

He has been advised that man of his full habit

The farm is so far from the pike that O pass
erby would have to scan the premises with a
field glass to recognize any one about the house,
80 the President feels he can do his duty by
himself without being watched.
A few days ago, while enjoying the beautiful
view from the upper porch OF the farm house,
Colonel Wilson remarked to the President that
he was very sensible in building the porch so
wide, for it gave to the old house the appearance
of larger proportions than it would otherwise
have.
''That is the way an engineer officer looks OF
it," said Mr.. Cleveland. "The ladies take a dit
ferent view of its utility"

Wilson.

GERRYMANDER REASONS

The gerrymander is not only infamous, but
it is selfish, for the reason that it has not even
the virtue of being good Democratic meas
ure. It was not conceived in answer to de-
mand of the rank and file of that party, but
was arranged and consummated for the benefit
of few members of the same, who will reap
| all the benefits of the trick There are thou
| sands of honest Democrats, doubtless, who
would scorn to enter into any such thing and
| who would repudiate it at once if they could
conceive the iniquity in which it was planned.
That there is something rotten behind that
law admits of no kind of doubt There can
be no apology for it in any honest way. Nor
is there wanting evidence of some of the rea-
sons why it was arranged to disfranchise the
majority of the legal voters of the State
of Indiana. 1t has been shown that there
is something radically wrong with the State
treasury. The hundreds of thousands of dol
lars that should be there are not there, nor
will any Democrat, in or out of the Office of
State Treasurer, pretend to say what has be-
come of the money. The same is true of the
secret workings of the benevolent institutions
of the State. None of the men connected
Herewith will give the public any light on the
manner in which they are conducted Enough
grossest irregularities and swindles have been
practiced and perpetrated in the Hospital for
the Insane. The poor inmates have become
the victims of Democratic spectators. They
have been committed to the care of brutal
partisan keepers and have been fed on dis
eased meats and grease butter, for what rea-
son may be readily understood. The Demo
cratic candidate for clerk of Marion county
knows only too we'll why it is that the insane
of Indiana have been fed on oleo-
margarine instead of wholesome but

the swindle, and it has been shown by a non
partisan committee of investigation that he

of the few men who will profit by the gerry

will be enabled thereby to go on in the same
profitable way that he has pursued in the past
with such rich returns to himself. There are
probably a couple hundred men in the State
of Indiana who will profit by the gerrymander
Some of them will occupy seats in the Legis-
lature, some will be sent to Congress, and
some will be shielded in acts that will not
bear scrutiny. All these are earnestly in
favor of the gerrymander, but outside of
these there are few, if any, willing to stultify
themselves by indorsing this disreputable
business Left to the people, without
prejudice and without outside pressure,
wholly on its merits, the gerrymander would
be voted down by the people hundred to
one. And this is exactly what should be
done, unless the people of Indiana are content
with the way things have been conducted in
the past, and with an empty treasury at time
when it should be full. Shall the tricksters

In Mr.. Cleveland,s letter of acceptance

In Mr.. Cleveland's letter of acceptance,
written in August, 1884, he said
Owe recognize in the eligibility of the
President for reelection most serious danger
to that calm, deliberate and intelligent polit-
ical action which must characterize govern
ment by the people,"
Recently he seems to have lost that sense
of danger and to be ready to assume all the
risks of second term. There is possibility,
however, that his party will save him from
the results of his rashness by deciding him
ineligible.

THE gerrymander stops the mouth of hon

half dozen that are getting rich by working
the treasury and the Insane Hospital for all
they are worth, cannot get an insight to these
institutions if the gerrymander be not re-
ouked. There is rascally work going on, and

been arranged can DEWITT.
