Hannibal HamIin Declares the Democratic
Party Worse than Before the War.
Portland (Me.) special.
Venerable Hannibal Hamlin, white and
wrinklea with his eighty years. lifelong Re-
publican, Vlce-president with Abraham Lincoln
and beloved and honored by Republicans all
over the land, proved in speech here last
night that his political faith is nnwavering The
occasion was the meeting of the Veteran Re-
publican Club which organized after the
first great triumph of the Republican party to
commemorate the election of President Lin
coin. The marvellous old man began thus:
Il thank God there is vote of mine in
thlrty-four long years of congressional life that
men present he begged of them to "shun the
Democratic party as they wonld viper. The
Democratic party is not one whit more patriotic
or more honest to-day than in the closing days
of BTchanan's administration. do not know
but the Democratic party of to-day is worse
than the Democratic party Of 1860
Abraham Lincoln President of the
United States Now if you think that all over
it is very comprehensive. When you recall that
he had such in his Cabinet William H.
Seward and Salmon F. Chase, yet lowered
above all others and dominated them all. you
will get a little idea of the meaning of the fact
that Abraham Lincoln was President and not
his Cabinet. / will call to your minds an his
sorical fact Almost in the very first days Of
the organization of his adm nistration the queS-
ton was presented to his Cabinet whether Fort
Sumter should be surrendered or not and the
Cabinet voted yes, but Abraham Lincoln voted
no. and the fort was not surrendered. | state

that had been urging him at all times to

he: Il think the time has about come, Mr..
Hamlin. and you have said good deal about
it, am going to show it to you the first

net has seen it, So / use the language that it

reason to be ashamed of his origin, which

The following is from the Shelbyville Dem

$50 old T. ibby prison is TO be taken from
Richmond to. Chicago and set up as side
show to the bloody-shirt circus to exhibit in
that city next June Well, let her go Gal
lagher. The building that was used for stor-
ing Yankees during the war has since served
a similar purpose for commercial fertilizers.
SO you may tear it down and carry it away If
you will, but the scent of those twin gerani-

Nothing more outrageous than this has
ever appeared in Northern paper, and not,
in recent years. in any Southern paper. That
the Democratic organ in one of the party's
strongholds in Indiana should thus go out of
its way to insult Union soldiers shows the in
herent baseness Of Northern Democracy and
its eagerness to do dirty work for the South.
The memories of Libby prison very horri-
bic and yet very sacred, and such treatment
of the subject as that above quoted argues a
degree of partisan malignity that would be
hard to find outside of the Democratic press of
Indiana. The proposed removal Of Libby
prison to Chicago is purely a business venture,
the intention being to set it up as a show,
and the entire absence Of political motive in
the transaction makes the comments of the
Democrat all the more con temptible.

The President wants Congressman w. l..
Scott, of Pennsylvania. for chairman of the

money in politics. All these things commend
him to Mr.. Cleveland, who, having played the

The respectable element is stronger than
the hummer element in any Indiana town.
The only trouble is to prevail upon exclusive

doing so, and the result was shown by the
triumph for honesty and decency at the fall
election. Terre Haute can do as much if she
will only persevere.

THE incipient agitation for change in the
site OF the Soldiers Monument is. at least, ill
timed. The law fixes the site and the COM
missioners have no authority to change it. As
for the alleged artistic reasons against locating
it in the Circle it will be well to hear from
somebody whose views carry weight. The
architect himself is now on his way here and
may be able to offer convincing reasons in
favor of or against the Circle. All those
offered thus far are frivolous. Perhaps the
most weighty is that which objects to occupy
ing nearly the entire Circle, thus closing up
our only little breathing place" This is
ridiculous. Our wide streets and ample yards
