CONSIDERING THAT Governor Gray
Of Indiana, according to his assail-
ants, is an eX-Knownothing and an
ex-Black Republican, his record as a
Democratic candidate is certainly
phenomenal. In 1876, when Will
liams was elected Governor by ma
jority of 5,130, Gray's majority for
Lieutenant-Governor was 5,435. So
that even twelve years ago the
Indiana Democrats could scarcely
have heard of his offensive ante
cedents. Again, in 1880, when the
Democrats lost the State, Landers for
Governor was beaten by 6,953, while
Gray for Lieutenant-Governor ran
behind only 4,770, He must have
been tolerably popular Democrat
then. In 1884, when the Democrats
carried the State, Cleveland and Hen
bricks had majority of G,531, while
Gray for Governor led Off with 1892.
How does it happen that Democrat
whose prowess was 50 unmistakably
demonstrated in 1876, 1880 and 1884
is not a Democrat to be trusted in
1855?

his Florida paper has demonstrated
his practical aptitude for journalism. He
is also a Democrat in general and an

So shamelessly indecent is it-so

I the tariff tax were laid, as is pretend

II the tariff tax were laid, as is pretend
ed, merely to maintain the high rate of
American wages. the only just way to
lay it would be to adjust the duty so as
to accomplish that result and no more,
because to do more would be to compel
all consumers to pay higher price
not to maintain wages, but as bounty
to employers. The tariff, however, is
not SO adjusted. Not only is it very
much heavier than is necessary to
maintain the rate of wages, but it pays
an immense premium to the employer,
which is mere gift paid out of the
earnings Of the people, by which in
dividual fortunes are enormously in
creased, but for which the public gets
no advantage whatever. Moreover,

A Significant Political Fact.

There is less acrimony and bitterness
in the present campaign than there
has been for twenty-five years.
Why?
Because there is real question upon
which the people can divide without
calling each other traitors, scoundrels
and horse-thieves.
The question concerns the reduction
Of unnecessary taxation, and what
method of reduction will benefit the
greatest number Of people.
What party presented the question
to the intelligent consideration of the
voters?
The Democratic party; and the Re-
publican organization has become a
party of obstruction and negation. 1t
admits the burning Importance Of rev.
enue reform, but formulates no prac-
tical method Of bringing it about.
1t merely negatives and runs counter
to tho well-considered and well-ma-
tured Democratic plan. Its platform
declares for free whisky and free to-
bacco. sooner than reduce the tariff on
the necessaries of life.
There is only one side to the argu-
ment in this campaign, and that is the
Democratic side.
There will only be one side to the re-
suit, and that will be the Democratic
side.
And the country will 60 on prosper

TARIFFS AND WAGES.


Ah0 IuO &c - FAST 11e&luusuS tO So
That They Have No Connection.
The chief popular argument at the
present time for maintaining the high
war tariff is the pauper-labor argu-
ment. Formerly it was the establish
ment OF domestic manufactures or the
young industry argument, and again it
was the home market. TIE present
allegation il that to diminish the
average rate Of duties from AZ to 40 or
~ per cent, which is the practical
proposition now pending, is to bring
the American laborer to the level Of
the pauper or poorly paid laborer OF
Europe. That is to say, a tariff tax in
creases the rate OF wages. Is this true?
According to the census of 1880 the
number Of persons who are engaged in
gainful occupations was II, 1872. .O99. OF
this number the farmers are about 40
per cent, and those engaged in pro-
fessions, in trade and in transporta-
ton are about Sd per cent. Here are
IS per cent. Of the laboring people,

tions, can not be protected by tariff

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 1a ~ Pauline

ME Jordan, q dementei white girl about Is
years old, who had wandered away from
her home in Montgomery. Pauline con.
fessed to having killed Annie at Q lonely
place near the railroad in that county by
choking her to death.
The execution took place near the col
ored cemetery within one mile of Union
Springs in the presence Of 5000 people,
white and colored. The crowd was or
classes as just. Pauline was carried in .
two-horse wagon to the place Of hanging
seated on her coffin, dressed In long
white robe, handcufed. Two officers were
with her. She was quiet on her way to
the scaffold. On arriving there she was
assisted up the steps and hand
kerchief was tied over her head.
Rev. J. H. Hale (colored) prayed with the
condemned. She subsequently shouted
and said: "Tell my mother not to mourn
for me. I will be skipping around in
Heaven in the morning." She broke COM
pletely down at the end Of her lamenta-
tion and had to be supported by the officers
while the fatal rope was being adjusted.
The drop fell at 1:24 p m, breaking hel

her dead within sevens minutes Her rela-
tives took charge Of the body and took Il
