PERSONAL AND POLITICAL,

Washington Post-And now comes the
man who went back in the musty past and
found the foulth plank in the platform, on
which Grant was nominated in 1868, to
read as follows: "It is due to the tabor OF
the nation that taxation should be equalized
and reduced as rapidly as the national faith
will permit" Twenty years later they have
forgotten equalization and want reduction
on whisky"
Mol & Express. lot Of these free
traders Mr.. Scott, who has 6ourished un-
der the beneflcent influence of a protective
tariff, seems to think that the stockholders
of Pennsylvania steel works should be in
dicted for obtaining money under false
pretences, and Controller Trenholm an
nounces, IN the Forum, that the govern
ment is a thief, and that the protected in
dustries are benefited by systematic"
stealing, Bad languages is not usually re-
garded as a sign of inward and spiritual
grace, nor of calm assurance in the right
eousness of ones cause.
Evansville Ind, Bulletin rep. Evans
turing city of the great State of Indiana,
the State which is the home of Honorable
Benjamin Harrison, Republican nominee
for the Presidency of the United States.
Yet, in this city of such vast Importance,
the Republicans, with very, very few excep-
tlons, are utterly disgusted at the action of
the Chicago Convention. Every man in
this community knows that the Rulletin is
as true to Republican principles as it is
possible for any paper in the world to be.
Those principles we love and honor, and
we hope to see prevail, Notwithstanding
the fact that the Republican candidate foI
the Presidency has proved himself, by his
record on the Chinese question, to be an
enemy to American labor and opposed to
liberal views by his fanaticism on the
temperance question. On all hands and
among all classes of Republicans, We heal
of their determination not to support Harri
son, and it is as well for Republicans al
oyer the Union to understand, once for all
that Evansville, the first city of manufac
turing importance in Harrsons own State
has no earthly use for him and will not give
him its Republican support.
