A BELoIT, Kap., special to a Lawrence
paper says one c. H.. st. John, of Beloit, a
cousin of John p. st. John, and himself a
Prohibitionist, has just returned from Indi-
ana. It adds:
'In speaking of the callers on General Har-
rison, st. John used the following languages:
IF you should 60 Town there and see as I saw
with my eyes, the disgraceful. drunken,
bowling mobs that call on that mar (pointing
to a picture of Harrison), you would be dis
gusted. The railroads haul them there for ST.
a head, and they make a drunken spree of
it,"
This is the sort of personal abuse and in
famous lying that is used by a certain class
of third party Prohibitionists to defeat such a
man as General Harrison, and elect such a
man as Grover Cleveland.

STRONG hints are being thrown out to Mr..
Thurman, that, inasmuch as he is a million
aire, he should follow Mr.. Cleveland's example
and make a fat contribution to the Democratic
campaign fund. 1t matters not to the grasp
ing Democracy that the vic~e-pesidential can
didate is laying down his life for his party; it
is not satisfied, but calls for a further gift.

THE Brooklyn Eagleis distinguished among
Democratic newspapers by its habit of con-
Quoting a fair and square fghtin politics, and
its failure to circulate campaign lies or resort
to the other disreputable tricks so commonly
practiced by its party organs. Commenting
upon the outrageous SANDERS which form the
chief feature of the campaign against Gen.
Harrison, the Eagle says:
"a stranger would infer from the profess
sional Democratic organ that General Harri-
son is a sort of fend i'll human form, who
worships devotedly at the shrine of Confucius,
c~onsorts constantly with Chinese laundrymen,
detests every laborer beyond the ranks of the
coolies, and seeks to annihilats the American
workingman either by starvation or a leaden
volley. In line with these preposterous as
s~ertions is the story from Indianapolis recent
ly that General Harrison once said that 'one
dollar a day is enough for any ~workingman,'
and that he threatened to force the railroad
strikers of 1877 back to work at the point of
the bayonet.' On its face the story is i'm
probable; its reiteration is obviously for par
tisan purposes; its appeal is to the worst passions
of mankind; its projection is the act of dema-
| gogues. 1t belongs in the category of buga-
DOCS wDlcn merit notuinS OUT contempt from
thoughtful citizens"
The Eagle is quite as sound in its Democ-
racy as the Indianapolis Sentinel; it is far
| more influential and much better edited, and
its words and example in this matter should
be needed by the indianapolis paper and other
professional organs" of the same low grade.
The Caoi;nol kpowo that avorv wor1 ~,
Eagle says is true, and that the stories it cir
| culates about General Harrison are false; but
it has not the honesty to condemn them, MOI
| the decency to keep them from its columns.

per cent. in the gross business of the city

prosperity was brought abont under a pro-

THE Huntington Herald says q veteran
soldier of that place wrote to Hon. &C. Mat
son last spring. asking him to use his infu-
ence to secure for the veteran an appointment
in the Pensacola hayward. Following is
Colonel Matson's reply, as printed by the
Herald:
''WAsHINGToS, D. c., March 4. 49,.
"Dear Sir-The Senators and Representa-
tives from Florida refuse to recommend your
appointment to a place in the navy-yard at
Pensacola They say it is too much like the
carpet bagging that they were subjected to
under Republican rule, and that their people
would not stand it, as they are not able to
ge. places enough for them. Very truly
yours, &C. C. MATsoN."

Congressman to write to q veteran soldier.

GENERAL HOVEY'S PROMOTION.

The Sentinel makes an indirect attack on
General Hovey's war record by printing, with
out comment, part of a letter written by
General Sherman relative to Hovey's promo
ton to major-general. Without explanation
it mag be construed injuriously to General
Hovey. The letter did him injustice, and
General Sherman, in his Memoirs" ex-
planned it in a way that effectually bars any
such construction as is now sought to be put
upon it. The matter is fully treated in the
Life of General Hovey," which will be pub
lished in a few days, and the following ex-
tract is a complete reply to the SentinePs
covert attack:
