HIS Record As Dealer In Iitles-

an over-excited, pompous politician, after the
close of the republican state convention.
Helm?
During his administration of the Mcclure
estate, contrary TO the dictates Of the will, he
forced one class OF poor men to give up farms
that they had fully or partially paid for, and
lose them altogether, or pay for them gain for
the benefit of another class of poor men. In
parenthesis may add that prominent lawyers
have taxed this estate as being worth $4,000 TO
administrator.
When Gen HOvey came back from Peru he
purchased all the canal lands in the county at
about = per acre and Immediately raised the
price TO SO and more, as may be seen by the
foreclosure suits on the books of the clerks
office here. The former cheap price had en-
abled many poor men TO purchase farms, as the
canal commissioners did not pose as poor mems
friends.
The demagogery practiced in congress is an
other straw floating toward the poor man. All
these various bills would entail an outlay Of
billions Gust figure them and see II am not
right, which from force of conclusions would
come from poor mems pockets. The poor
mans friend would naturally find his reward
in beautifully rounded pile of dollars.
But the greatest act of all for the benefit of
the poor man was accomplished by his taking
a leading hand in the purchase OF property sold
for taxes. His humanitarian instincts told
him that it would be necessary to teach the
poor that the taxes must be paid, and
in the goodness of his heart he en-
tered the ring. The democrats need not
say anything against his actions; he had a
right TO make such purchases and he was de-
serving Of the IN no npnalfV allowed
under the old law-was he not being led by
humanitarian instincts? The majority of the
poor, including some of the old soldiers, wild
Ows and orphans, paid their tutor like little
men. but some Of them not having the fear of
hind legs, and he was compelled TO bring suits
of foreclosure, as may be seen by the clerk S

A War "Reminiscences.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: Gen. Hovey's atti-
tude toward the IsraelItes, as shown in recent
issues of THE SENTINEL, reminds me of an an
ecdote of the general which may be appropriate
to relate at this time.
In 1865 it was Customary for Gov. Morton and
other officials to give Indiana soldiers public
reception as they returned from the war. On
the 30th of June, 1866, reception was given TO
two regiments myself a member of one of
them and two batteries. Gov. Morton was
prevented from being present. But we assem-
bled in the tabernacle" lin front of the old
courthouse, If j remember correctly, and
speeches were made by Lt.-Gov. Baker, Gems.
Hoyey and Mansfield, the irrepressible Chap
lain LOzier, and other officers. Gen. Hovey
warned us particularly against the Jews of In
dianapolis. He said for us to hold on to our
money, and make no purchases OF clothing
until we reached home; for the Jews were
ready, and We're skinning every soldier who
dealt with them; that they were taking advan-
tage OF the soldiers necessity; that they were
like vampires, and had no conscience: and very
seldom you ever heard of one volunteering to
serve their country; that did not seem to be
their calling. He said he could best illustrate
the case by an aneedOte of the war. The guer-
rillas captured military post, and among the
prisoners was jew suffer- In their haste to
get away, they made the prisoners jump astrde
the horses-One behind each guerrilla. Going
at a rapid trot nearly killed the jew, on account
of the sharp backbone and rough gait of the
horse. The Jew kept begging and making great
lamentation, which was unheeded by the guer-
rilla in front of him. At last the jew exclaimed
in anguish, "Jesus Christi The guerrilla
looked around at him, and remarked: "Jesus
Christ? If it hadn't been for you and the like
of you. Jesus Christ would never have been
crucifed." Gen. Hovey cautioned us to heed
the admonition of the guerrilla, and have moth
ing to do with the Jews. EX-SoLDIER.

Lost. strared or stolen2

For several weeks before the Maine
election the columns of the republican
organs teemed with accounts of whole
sale desertions of their old party by Maine
democrats on account OF the Mills bill.
In one town sixty-eight democrats in a
body had walked into republican meet
ing and announced themselves for HARRI-
SOY, MoEroS and protection" In another
thirty had done the same thing, and in
aro.her twenty-five. Democratic farmers
BY the score had declared that they
wanted no free trade in theirs" and
world therefore vote the whole republican
fi.kot for the first time in their lives.
Prominent manufacturers, heretofore dem
ocrats, and their employees in large num-
oers had became enthusiastic converts to
republicanism. Indeed, according to the
republican prediction reports from
Maine, the democratic party of that state
had practically dissolved, and the repub-

REPUBLICAN orators in Indiana do not neglect

REPUBLICAN orators in Indiana do not neglect
the great issue of the tarih.-J0Wrndi.
The way they handle this great issue"
is to tell the people that AZ per cent. pro-
lection is free trade; that the Mills bill in
creases the duties on sugar and rice; that
free trade prevails in all the European
countries; that the Golden club inspired
President CLEvELAND's message; that the
farmer is protected" on his wheat, ETC.,
ETC., etc. All lies, every one of them. And
it is because they would have no chance
to tell such lies in joint debate with demo-
Gratis that HovEY refuses to meet MATsoN,
PORTER refuses to meet TTRPTE ETC., etc.
The republican stock in trade on the tariff
question is falsehood, and no republican
has yet been discovered who would meet
a democrat in joint discussion on the
subject, for the simple reason that if he
did he would have to tell the truth or be
exposed, and either would be fatal to his
case.

the matter is that Cochran never was a demo-
crat or arepublican either very long. This is
the sort of man that the republicans of this
vicinity have influenced to put his name TO an
article which one of them wrote, declaring his
change of politics on account of the tariff.

Well, as it turned out, Mr.. PUTNAM, the
democratic nominee for governor, re-

republican plurality fell off over per

these democratic "deserters" lost, strayed
