THE Sentinel sees horrid Nightmares in tbs
fact that Republicans are actively organizing
to secure votes for the Republican ticket.
Such an atrocious, col1-blooded thing was
never heard of before, but we suspect it is
true. Our esteemed contemporary says there
is an organization Of Republicans pledged
to try and secure one Democratic vote each
for Republican candidates; and to carry
out the plan, the names, and circumstances,
and associations Of. those who may possibly
be influenced are being inquired into
with a view of seeing who may be
the best persons to approach them.
The Sentinel has also discovered that
the chairman of a county committee actually
had the audacity to issue a letter urging Re-
publicans to attend a proposed grand rally,
where a distinguished speaker was to be the
orator, and q Harrison club was TO be formed.
We suspect that just such dreadful things as
these are being done by the wicked and wide.
awake Republicans all over the State. Greatly
rs it is to be deplored for the Sentinels peace
of mind, that is the sort of work that will be
continually kept up from now until the night
of the 9th of November. Push on the battle.

Mr.. HENRY WATTERsoN. in his speech at
the Louisville reception, where the Mayor
compared him to Satan, majestic, though in
ruin" said:
There is nothing the matter with us any
where that money won't cure, and the last
heard of the gentlemen who were sent around
with the plate they were getting contribu-
>tlons from near and far"
Again, recurring to the money phass of the
campaign. he said:
"As we shall not need to use any money
here in Kentucky. I hope that ali we may
have to give will be promptly raised and sent
to the national committee, who will Know
just exactly what to do with it and where to
put it"
Everything goes to show that the Demo-
cratic managers are placing great reliance on
their corruption fund.

We are pleased to see that Chairman Jewett
is again at his desk aud able to write. We
trust he will at once favor the public with a
fac-simile of the receipt given by an impe-
cunious and inexperienced young country
lawyer for a fee of 500, 900 in q case pending
before the court of which q near relative was
judge. Mr.. Jewett is in the business Of cir
culating fac-similes and letters, and here is
one about which he could be absolutely GER
tain that he was circulating the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth. Mr..
Jewett should make public a fac-simile
of that 500, 600 receipt. 1t would create a
real sensation.

TIE n A TARIFF ELL.

The tariff bill reported by the finance com
mittee of the Senate is a measure the prin-
ciples of which the Republican party is will
ing to stand by. Being a minority in Con.
gress. the Republicans were under no obliga-
ton. political or moral, to present any meas
ure of revenue reform. They cannot pass
any measure of their own, and might well
have contented themselves with opposing an
obnoxious measure like the Mills bill. In
formulating and presenting q bill to amend
the present tariff and reduce the revenue the
Republicans have shown that they are not
afraid to assume the aggressive, though they
were not obliged to. The Republican party
is not a party of negation, merely; it has a
policy of its own.
The Mills bill proposed to mutilate the
tariff in the interest of free trade; the Senate
bill proposes to amend it in the in terest of
protection. The passage Of the Mills bill
would destroy several important American
industries, cripple many others, and o~verturn
the foundations of business in the United
States. The Senate bill would amend the
inequalities of the present tariff, remove
some causes of friction that ought to be re-
moved, reduce the revenue from customs

Mr.. JEwETT is respectfully informed that
there is already a non partisan Committee of
One Hundred in existence. the business of
which is to see that there is a fair and pure
election. The president and chairman Of the
executive committee are Democrats, the at
torney is a Prohibitionist and the secretary a
Republican. In addition to this committee,
there is a Fair Election League of a non parti-
san nature, which extends into every nook
and corner of Indiana. These agencies are
already in existence, ready for work and
determined to do their duty. Mr. Jewett
need not fear but there will be plenty of PEG.
pie to see that there is a fair and pure election
in Indiana.

Two Indiana men, employed in the Gov
eminent Printing Office at Washington, have
recently been discharged for political reasons
under circumstance that make their cases
conspicuous. The men are Messrs. George
M. Depue, formerly of this city, and Frank
Z. auckland, of South Bend. Both are first
class printers. Depue is one of the most COM
petent job printers in the country and a gen.
tleman of excellent habits, sober, industrious
and economical. with a family to support and
a little home partly paid for. Buckland also
Is z fine workman, made the largest bills of
any man ia the division where he worked by
the piece, is sober, industrious and gentle
manly. Both were discharged because they
were Republicans, and for no other reason.
1t is understood that Depue was discharged at
the instance of Mr.. Bynum, Representative
from this district. This is Mr.. Bynum's way
of proving himself "the friend of labor" He
ia the friend of Democratic labor only, and
that SO far as his own interests are CONCERNED.
In the language of the Sentinel .'he is a dan
gerous, unreliable, vindictive, ungenerous par
ty man." The Craftsman, the official organ of
the Typographical Union, says of these re-
movals:
$50 far as we know personally the victivs
of Mr.. Benedict's peculiar policy of substitut-
ing men unfamiliar with the peculiar re-
quirements of the Government Office for those
whom long experience has made doubly valu-
able, the persons now being sent out into the
world to hunt another place wherein to earn
their daily bread are among the most reliable
and competent Of the workmen employed at
the Nations Printing House. Indeed, it
looks as if long service. faithful performance
of duties and competency to do the work re-
Quired were the very qualifications which
commended the possessor to Mr.. Benedict's
attention in the shape of a discharge"

OLBVELARD's CIVIL-SERVIOE REFORM.
Indianapolis Sentinel, Jan. 20, 1856.

ALI
With due respect, We would suggest to the
powers at Washington, and all others con-
cerned therein, that the time has fully come
when a halt should be called in the business
Of appointing unworthy characters to Office in
this State.
In our opinion, the seeming attempt to
rival tho Republican party in making and
maintaining bad appointments to Office is an
unworthy ambition, and the sooner it is
abandoned the better.
The honest Democratic masses of the State
have already been sufficiently humiliated-the
grand old party of the people damaged quite
enough, surely, for a halt.
With becoming modesty, we would venture
to suggest to the forces inspiring and con-
trolling appointments here that there is no
lack of honest. competent Democrats in our
State. In view of this fact, we confess to
our inability to make out any sufficient reason
for the selection and appointment of thieves,
highwaymen, bribers, dead beats and the like.
Give honest, competent Democrats a chance.
The South Bend Times said:
"There is more complaint at and around In
dianapolis about the administration not turn.
ing the rascals out than anywhere else in the
Hoosier commonwealth. And yet no locality
has rendered the turning-out process more
odious than that same locality. Periurers,
ueau-oeats, eX-conVlctS anu reprooateS gener-
ally are seemingly recommended to office
with a good deal more zeal than the just
claims Of. honorable and meritorious gentle
men are thought of being pushed. Such con-
duct is an outrage, not only upon the admin.
istration, but upon the Indiana Democracy.
The politicians who foist that kind of cattle
upon the public service ought to be exposed
and held up to public scorn and Indignation"
These testimonials 70 President Cleveland's
civil-service reform are reprinted to call the
attention of the people Of Indiana to the con-
dition of the civil service in this State.
These high Democratic authorities told the
truth, ''the Gods truth about the whole
business" and the truth explains the present
debauched, scandalized, inefficient and out
rageous condition of the public service in
Indiana.
