what Mr.. Blaine said about taxing whisky in
his Paris letter. and concludes that the Jour
nal denounces Mr.. Blaine's words as "yawp"
and that gentleman as "a fraud" Of course.
the Times is not serious: if it were, it would
only show either its dishonesty or its pro-
found stupidity. When Mr.. Blaine gets to
"yawping" about the free-whisky plank of the
Republican party, it will be time enough to
apply the Journals words to him. When
Mr.. Blaine takes the stump the Times will
not hear him 'tyawp" about the free-whisky
plank in the interests of temperance; and in
he meantime the Journal begs leave to re-
peat, that whenever you hear anybody
yawping about the ~free-whisky plank OF the
Republican platform on temperance grounds,
set him down as q fraud" If the Times de-
sires to wear the decoration, the Journal has
not the slightest objection.

PROBABLY TRUE PROPHECY.

To show that they were false prophets who
predicted that evil results would follow a
Democratic administration, the New York
Post quotes from a speech mady in 1872 by
Oliver p. Morton, in which he said:
THAT if the Democratic party comes into
power, one of the first measures will be either
to put the rebel soldiers upon an equality
with the soldiers of the Republic. or to vote
no pensions at all. Can any intelligent pers on
doubt that proposition
"Again. if the Democratic party have a ma
iority in the other House, controlled az they
will be by the South. l ask you if they will
vote money to pay the interest on your public
debt unless some provision is made for theirsG
Will they voluntarily tax themselves to pay
the interest on that debt which was contracted
for their subJugation2 l tell you, sir, they
will never do it, and those interested in our
national honor and those interested in our ma
tional debt must understand that the Demo-
cratic party. made up. as it will be. two.thirds
in the South and one-third in the North, and
that one-third submissive to the other two
thirds. will never vote to pay the interest on
your debt except upon the condition OF pay
ing for their slaves, or of consolidating the
rebel debt with ours; and they will never pay
a dollar to the one-legged and one-armed SOL
der Of the North. or TO the widows and or
phans OF those who fell, except upon the con.
dit;on that will put theirs upon the same level.
The Post is a little premature in assuming
that this prediction was a false one. The
Democratic majority, even when aided by
the administration, has not been strong
enough to accomplish these ends at once, Blu
the inclination has been plainly visible.
What did the turning out Of Union soldiers
to make place for ex-rebels signify but a dis
position not to put the latter on a level, bu,
to exalt them above the loyal men Of the
Northg What was the lowering of the flag
at the capital in honor of Jacob Thompson
but an exhibition Of the same feelingf What

THE New York Evening Post says:

1.-THE meeting of a convention of colored
voters to indorse a Democratic administration
and pledge support to the party which seeks
to continue it in power is an event full of sig
ni6cance and encouragement. The gathering
at indianapolis this week had its disorderly
features at first, due apparently to the attempt
of Matt Quay to capture control of it through
a body of Republican negroes whom he had
forwarded"
That is an absolute, unqualified lie, and the
Post perfectly wen knows it. The conten-
tons and the fights were between the ac-
cepted members of the convention, not a
Republican negro participating. The re-
ports perfectly showed this fact, and the Post
editor must have read them.

ing people, and the consequent advancement
of British power.
1.-The Republican platform stands for and
means just the opposite of this. The Repub-
hcan policy is the policy of protection, and
how any fair-minded man having at heart the
welfare of this country can be for anything
else than the protection demanded by the Re-
publican party, is what l fail to understand.
With wool on the free list, as the Democratic
House has ordered it, my business is ruined,

a worse condition than we would. be-"
Mr.. Horkheimer showed letters from several
of his Eastern correspondents, all concurring
that the repeal of the duty on wool would
ruin wool manufacturing as well as wool
growing in this country. One of these CORE
~spoudents, employing thousands of hands.
said: "You would naturally suppose we were
in favor of free wool, from the fact that we are
large manufacturers; but we are not in favor
of taking one brick from the underpinning of
the house which supports Us. By U.S. we
mean the working people of this country"
Another, the largest wooden yarn manu-
f~acturer in the United States, wrote: eff
Cleveland is elected we go out of the worsted
business, not voluntarily, but because Of the
administration favoring English instead of
American goods, and. with our payroll, we
cannot make any worsted yarns here within
II to 20 per cent. as cheap as we can import

talking about. They seem to think they do.

THE eUBERNAToRIAL CANDIDACY.

411
Hon. Albert G.. Porter has finally given to
the public his determination not to accept
the nomination for Governor, choosing to
adhere to the expression made in December
last. by reason Of which he says a number of
gentlemen have become candidates for the
nomination, who, with their friends, would
have q right to feel aggrieved were he
now to recede from that position. The atti-
tude in which Gov. Porter has been placed
unpleasant and embarrassing in all. The
Governors statement in December expressed
his perfect and complete personal de-
sire. He did net want the Office
of Governor. and plainly said so.
He had filled the position with notable
success, but when he surrendered it to Gov.
Gray We think the unanimous opinion of the
Republican party was that he had but relin-
quished it temporarily. That feeling has
continued with but slight abatement, and the
evidences were daily accumulating and
increasing that he would be called, by prac-
tical unanimity, to the candidacy for the
Office he mad administered with such honor to
himself and satisfaction to the people.
But his own disinclination for the place,
and the other fact first alluded to, have been
in the way of the extraordinary pressure
brought to bear upon him to head the State
ticket, and he has concluded to yield in the
direction of his own desire rather than in the
direction of the expressed wish Of so many
members of the party. In doing so, however,
he abates nothing of his zeal for Republican
principles and of loyalty to the Republican
cause, and promises to be heard in the cam
paign wherever his voice and influence can
advance party success.
To say that this determination of Governor
Porter will be accepted with regret through
out the State is but to utter a self-evident
truth; and yet it is equally proper to
say that the Republican party has
many men who will make splen-
did candidates and splendid chief executives.
A party that can name such men rs Colonel
Robertson, Gen. Lew Wallace. Congressman
Steele, Hon. Will Cumback, Hon. John NJ.
Butler, Gen. Alvin p. Hovey. private Ira j.
Chase, and others, need not be disconcerted
The time is quite short until the meeting of
the State convention next week, but we be-
lieve that when the delegates come up to the
capital they viii be ready to unite in the
work of finding the best and most available
man out of the mass of excellent material
that will be presented to them. Their task
will not be unlike that which confronted the
Chicago convention, on a broader stage. and
the circumstance not altogether dissimilar.
The outcome, we are certain. will be equally
as satisfactory to the Republican party of In
diana as was the result in June to the Repub-
licans of the Nation.

THE silly talk about General Harrison's
alleged failing strength. based on sensational
dispatches sent from this city, still finds some
currency. 1t is altogether wide of the mark.
General Harrison is in excellent health and
equal to every demand made or likely to be
made on him. He possesses an excellent
constitution, which has never been abused or
overtaxed, and Q rare capacity for sustained
labor of any kind. 1t must not be supposed
he is lacking in health or strength because he
does not fill the Democratic ideal Of states
manship in high color and superabundant
flesh. There is nothing the matter with
General Harrison.

AGAINST FREE TRADE.

The Wheeling Intelligencer prints inter-
views with two prominent business men Of
that city, former Democrats, who announce
their intention of voting for Harrison and
Morton on the protection issue. One of these
is Mr.. W. l.. Hearne, the president Of the
West Virginia China Company, and a promi-
nent stakeholder of the Riverside iron-works,
the largest two separate industries in the
Ohio valley from Pittsburg to Cincinnati.
Mr.. Hearne, while not a politician, has al.
ways been prominently identified with the
Democratic party. and has voted the ticket
for forty-eight years. He voted for Cleve-
land in 1884. He was elected a member of
1873 on the Democratic ticket. Following is
an extract from the interview with Mr..
Hearne:

THE Bureau of Statistics at Washington
has issued a report showing the arrivals of
foreign immigrants in this country fer the
year ending June 30. 1t shows an increase
over the arrivals of last year from 4s3, 1l6 to
$780, 18. An analysis shows that the immi-
grafton from England and Wales exceeded
that from Ireland by nearly 5000. in addi-
ton to which over "a, 900 immigrants came
from Scotland. The total from the British
islands was $50, 766, against $50, 1888 the pre-
vious year. From Germany there were 107,-
624, a slight increase. From Norway and
Sweden the number rose from SIS, TAI to r.
9l5, and that from Italy increased from A.
524 to 81. 075. There was only a very slight
increase in immigrants from Hungary and
Bohemia, the number for each year being q
little below 20, 900. AS General Harr ison re-
marked in one of his recent speeches, ''The
gates of Castle Garden swing inward. They
do not swing outward to any American labor
er seeking a better country than this"

THE Boston Traveller well says: "A this
time the only apprehension on the part of
those who are for Harrison and Morton is that
arising from q feeling of absolute security.
The gains are great and the meetings are in
creasing, but nothing should induce Repub-
licans to slack their efforts for an instant"
Let all Indiana Republicans keep this fact
we'll in mind. Work is the touchstone of
success this year; work as you never worked
before.

THE Democrats of Cabool, Mo-, held a po-
litical meeting, a few nights ago, of which a
parade was one Of the features. In the pa
rade was a coffin, supposed to contain the
corpse of General Harrison, carried by four
young men dressed as Chinese, the drapery
being inscribed, "Poor Ben! He Died for Us"
