ISDrArA DEMOCRATS "A Washington
letter says that Colonel Mstson. The
Democratic candidate for governor Of
Indiana, returned here last night from a
visit home During his absence in In
diana Colonel MarsOn made number
of speeches, and inaugurated the State
campaign. All OF his meetings were
largely attended. and in his own home
community the enthusiasm awakened by
bis presence were unprecedented.
The effort TO secure joint canvass of
the State by the two candidates for Gov
ernor failed through the refusal of the
Republican Committee to permit their
man to meet Colonel Matson.
In speaking of the situation at home
he said that the Democratic outlook is
extremely bright. He comedies that the
battle is 10 be hot one, and that the
Democrats exert themselves TO the fullest
to win. The party organization assures
The result. and Colonel Mstson says that
the Democratic majority for both the
State and national ticket will be a sub
stsntisl one"
PRIVATE AFFAIRS" - Mr.. Carlisle
says in reference to Blaine's plea that
trusts are private affairs;

affair-a very private afair-and yet 1t
is not supposed to be improper to inter
fere with it by law The highwaYman
who meets YOU on the public road and
demands your money or your life is en-
gagged in the transaction of private
enterprise. bat still the law takes cogniz-
ance of his act and Furnishes il as a
crime" The laughter and applause with
which these remarks were received show
ed that they we're keenly appropriated.
BR1TrsH A1LrFs-The manufacture of
extracts from the English newspapers
showing the frantic desire OF our friends
over the seas TO have Mr. Cleveland re-
elected, as an ally of Great Britain, con-
tinues with unremitting ingenuity. The
amusing feature s that the friends OF the
President take the trouble TO deny and
explain But it is barren trouble. So
long as they amuse there will be fOrgeries
The London press is a good mine TO
work, and especially the London Iimes
When there is anything Juicy OF yindic-
tive charge If 10 the Tines The editor
will not deny it, OF if be does no one will
see his denial.-N. Y Herald.
A SECTIONAL CRY Warner Miller de-
liberately perverted the Truth when he
said in his Cooper Union speech that The
Mills bill projects tie South aud strikes
at the industries OF the North" Fla
GRAVITY false is his statement that it
RAISES the duty on rice

fined sugar 20 per cent. and on raw sugar

revenue from this source (the most from

change.
RELIEVING THE RIcH-That was the
home thrust of Mr.. Mills 10 his Brooklyn
speech in which he enumerated the taxes
removed from the rich bg the Republi
cans and mentioned the burdens left
upon the poor.
The taxes abolished by these professed
guardians OF woTkingmen included those
on incomes, on railroads, on banks, on
telegraph and express companies. on
manufactures @ per cent only aud on
articles of import not produced in this
country--chiefy Injuries
These were all taxes on the rich. And
the Republicans repealed them. More
than ~ per cent Of the existing tariff
taxes are collected upon articles of uni
yersal necessity The poor pay the same
rate as the rich-a most unjust and OPP
pressive arrangement And these taxes
the Republican platform promises to re-
tain, even if whisky and tobacco must
be freed to Go it,. Let the people think
about tn. !. World
Mr. Mills says, very sptly, that to call
a IL per cent. tariff Free Trade reminds
him of "the claim of fellow who said
he had become a teeiOtaler because he
only took forty Two drinks a day instead
Of his former foriy-seyen."
THE DOWNFALL OF BfILY.-Tbe revolt
came at Farmsille yesterday, when Ma
hone undertook 10 put IL practice his
time honored tactics Of packing the
Congressional Convention against Lang
s,on, the colored candidate, in whose in
terest a clear majority OF the delegates
had been elected. The negroes bolted
and they carried with them a good num-
Der Of whi.e delegates, and they held a
convention and nominated Langsion-in
spite of Malone. They did more than
this, they declared themselves emancipa
ted from MahOneism, denounced the boss
who has hitherto led them by the nose,
and boldly announced that henceforward
they would vote and act according 10 the
dictates of their own political judgment.

THE House or LORDS AMERICANIzED.
If it is true, as reported, that Miss
Mactavish Is engaged to The Duke OF
Norfolk, that distinguished Baltimore
belle has made by far the greatest catch
that has ever fallen TO an American wo-
man, not even excepting Betsy Patter-
sons marriage TO jerome BOnaparte,
which old BallimOreans recall with pride.
