It will be seen that without condi-
tions or reservation Mr.. Fl. advocates
a ''trust" on the most necessary article
of food and that the trust shall be
without soul or conscience. And
yet he is a high chief in Union Labor
circles. When will these people COM
prehend the demagoguery and hypocrisy
of their leaders? Can they not uDdel-
stand that the boldest violation of all
their principles is the daily work of the
very men whom they have chosen to
deliver their long harangues and advo-
cate their cause to the voters of the
land.
Mr.. Hoffman, as well as Messrs.
Elder, Streeter, Briedenthal and the
other hypocritical demagogues, has
proven himself a deceiver and a mo-
nopolist of the most pronounced order,
even while pretending to denounce the
formation of trusts and pools. Dick
inson county is unfortunate in being
the home of such man whose unsav-
DRY reputation is thus going abroad;
for while honest error can be over
looked and forgiven, heartless, cold
blooded, premeditated and continued
hypocrisy is the worst political or
social crime that can be committed.

The Vidette Camp.

The set of blunderbuSSeS whose
monkey-work at Winfield has been gen.
erously exposed by the Republican
State press must feel as though they
had made consummate fools of them
selves. There is no doubt but that
they had some wild, though dimly de-
fined, idea of initiating the anarchists
of Chicago, and besides rule the Union
Labor party by means of their organi-
zation. That several high chiefs in
Union Labor circles were found to be
ring leaders in the affair only shows
what class of men are connected with
this Union Labor movement. A min
lister who was caught in the concern
has sued the Hutchinson News for $780,
900 damages for publishing him As
member. He claims that he was in
weighed into the society, but when he
found what murderous, blood-thirsty
gang was connected with it he dropped
out.
Noble Prentis submits few remarks
on the subject which shows his feelings
in regard to it.:

Mr. Hoffman on Trusts.

Mr. Hoffman, recognizing the fact
that his advocacy of trusts without
soul or conscience" to keep up the
price of flour, as exposed 10y the RE-
FIEoToR and other Republican papers,
is bringing upon his head, as it should,
the hearty condemnation of all think
ing people, comes out in a lengthy
whine in the Kansas Miller aud claims
that he was misrepresented, that we
did not give all his utterances on the
subject and he fabricates sentence
which he says is the one misquoted.
We are aware that Mr.. Hoffman is not
a candidate for any Office, but we do
know that he is great power behind
the throne in Union Labor circles and
that to expose his hypocrisy only ex-
poses the hypocrisy of the whole outfit.
Mr.. Hoffman should be well enough
posted to know that We do not indulge
in wild statements and that the Re-
FLEcToR is able to substantiate its
statements.
In order to show fully the source of
the expression attributed to Mr.. Hoff-
man We give the following from the
Northwestern Miller's Journal. 1t is
in response to questions upon various
topics sent out by the editor to sound
the feelings of various large fiour-manu-
facturers in regard to questions of in
terest to the trade.

that the situation can i'll no way be
compared to that in 1854 when Gov.
Hendricks was candidate for vice-Pres-
ident. Hendricks was always stronger
than any other man of his party who
has ever lived in that State. He al
ways, when a candidate, ran ahead of
his ticket. He beat Gen. Brown in
1872 and waa the only Democrat elect
ed on the State ticket, and he came
within few hundred votes of defeat
ing Gov. Baker in IS, then running
ahead of his ticket. Four years ago he
made an earnest, energetic canvass.
He organized the Democrats as they
had never been organized before and
never have been since, and it is safe to
say that bad be not been on the ticket
Blaine would have carried Indiana. 1t
is well known that Cleveland, jealous
of the late Vice President popularity,
snubbed him sEamefully and the Hen
bricks family and the other warm per-
sonal friends of Mr.. Hendricks do not
forget it. If the other reasons should
be insufficient, think this alone would
turn the scale.
Il could give other reasons, but i
consider these enough to place the re-
suit in Indiana beyond doubt. I
talked with many Republicans and
found a determination to win and a
universal belief in success. l also
talked with many who were leaders of
the Gresham forces last spring, and
found that they believed just as strong
ly as the others that Harrison would
carry the State.
'There is one thing that not only
there but everywhere else in the Ma
ton has added 10 the confidence in and
support If Gen. Harrison, and that is
tie marvellous fact that notwithstand-
ing the great number of bis speeches,
covering so wide range, there has not
been spoken iii any speech single
word upon which the opposition has
been able 10 seize and use against him.
The people feel that Harrison is man
whom they can trust as well as a man
OF great ability"
Mr.. BurtOn's intimate acquaintance
with National and Indiana politics
makes his opinion at this time pecu-
LARRY valuable.

INDIANA SURE FOR HARRISON.
An Interview with Hon. J. R. Bur
ton on the Prospect in the Hoosier

An Interview with Hon. J. r. Bur
ton on the Prospect in the HOosier
State.
Hon. J. r. Burton returned yeSter-
day from his two weeks trip to Indi-
ana where he has been speaking at the
request of the National Republican
committee. He has spoken in the
neighborhOOd of his old home and in
the large cities of southern Indiana and
has been received with the heartiest
enthusiasm, if we may judge by the
newspaper reports which have dealt
with his efforts.
Today a REFLECTOR representative,
thinking Mr.. Burton's opinion in re-
gard to the result in Indiana would be
of interest, called upon him and asked
his impressions regarding the outcome
of the election Id the HOOsier State.
my judgment is" said Mr.. Burton,
without any prejudice for either
side, that General Harrison will carry
Indiana by a handsome majority.
L base my conclusion upon the follow
ing reasons: In the first place, we
must take into account the fact that
there is little advantage for either
party, as proven by the results of past
elections. There is not, perhaps,
5000 votes difference between the
Republican and Democratic strength.
The Republicans carried the State in
1868, in 1872 and in 1880, and lost it in
1876 and 1884. The loss of the
State IN 'S4 was no doubt due to the
State pride.
sin the coming election the Repub-
licans have several things in their favor.
In the first place they have per cent.
of State pride, due to their wish to
have the President taken from their
State; they have also per Cent. OF the
soldier vote which will by no means go
to Mr.. Cleveland on account of his in
suits to the boys in blue; then there is
a certain per cent. of the first voters,
born since the war, who will prove to
be largely 10y al to the Republican party.
The discovery of natural gas In many
sections of the State is in the Republic
cans favor, it has caused large immi-
grafton, mostly Republican, and has
made manufacturing districts of what
were formerly thinly settled farm
lands. Other manufactures are in
and labor is far more
than in 1884, hence there is
a la1ge percentage in the Republicans
favor on the tariff issue.
Another thing, the Republican
party in Indiana is absolutely united
and harmonious while the Democrats !
are more OF less affected by the bitter
feeling between Sow. Gray and the adj
