A waver of the Shirt.

OF all men in the world, here ia Mr. Henry
Cabot Lodge waving the bloody shirt!p That
is TO say. no showed plainly in Congress how
Mr.. Davidson. of Alabama, was elected" a
Representative in . district that has q normal
Republican majority of about 20. 600. Demo-
cratic inspectors simply refused TO receive
votes. or else, after the votes were received
counted them for the other man. Most of the
alleged crimes against the ballot are proved by
Democratic testimony; they cannot understand
down in Alabama how they did anything wrong
in simply preventing Republican from rep
ressnting them in Congress-. Or course the
mugwumps cannot see anything wrong in that
either; but for saying nythine about it. or max
ing a sfuss because of frauds and Grim es like
this, that is the worst of all crirnes to a mug
wump; it is reopening the chasm. 1t is waving
the bloody shirt, it is resurrecting dead issues
To persons who ars not hopeless mugwumps,
but who denreciate in general way, the rails
ing of any sectional issues perhaps the very
fact that man like Mr. Lodge has made such
statements will be some evidence that they are
true. If they are true. then crime has been
committed, q crime of the worss possible polti-
cal character; for the whole theory of our gov
eminent depends upon the registering OF
the popular will. II that is not recorded this
ceases to be . government ''of the people. by
the people, for the people," If this be waving
the bloody shirt, why, the mugwumps may
make the most OF it.

patch from Washington to Boston paper, in
which he is given authority for the statement
that it would be the policy of the Republicans
of the House to obstruct the passage of any
tariff measure before the meeting of the national
convention at St Louis. He owed il, he said,

policy for them or for himself. He had made
no statement from which fair minded honor
able man could deduee such q conclusion. When
the Republicans should be called upon to con-

they heard was being prepared, it would be time
for them to determine their policy.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis JournaI:

be rented. I would like to ask the Council
whether or not they have received any rent for
it during the last six seven yearsG It has
been used dairy farm for several years. and
ex-policeman Fells, the present tenant, has been
living there two or three years. perhaps longer.
It is certainly shame 70 see such beautiful
park all going to rack. The fences are almost
rotted down aud some vandals during the warm
weather have. for the sake of a little sugartree
Surely some care should be taken of these beauti-
park. they should either sell it or have someone
not improve it and make 1t suitable for all kinds
picnics. camp meetings etc II this IS done it
will not be long until the city will realize vastly
more than the cost of improvements.
It is said by Col Holloway that the cable line
will run to the park. The j.. NJ s. !. R. X.
runs through the park thatit is easy of access;
besides it is near Washington street as the
Exposition grounds, and is certainly a much
more beautiful place; plenty of trees, high and
low grounds, mile race-track that easily
be repaired, and there are two neverfalling
streams of water flowing through the park.
There is indeed nothing lacking in natural way
to make one of the most beautiful parks: art is
all that is needed. The question is whether the
park shall be used for a dairy farm fitted up
for what it was intended for. I am in favor of
the latter. ENTERPRISE

A Defense of the Anti-Harrison Movement.
TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
The Indianapolis Journal takes q false ros-
ton when it assumes that the papers that are
friendly to General Gresham are attempting 10
STIR up wrangle among the Republicans Of In
diana 1t places these papers in a light that
does them injustice. So far my observation

Grant County and General Harrison.


To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
There appeared in the Marion Chronicle OF
yesterday an editorial from which it would APP
pear that the author believed that Judge
Gresham would be preferable as presidential
candidate to General Harrison. / am quite sure
the article reflects only the sentiment of
the writer. / equally sure that OF
the Republicans of this (Grantl county
ninety nine hundredths are enthusiastic
for General Harrison. They have not forgotten
the brilliant campaign when he wrested the
State from the Democracy; they have not for
gotten his splendid speeehes. which brought the
Republican party almost a unit to the polls;
they have not forgotten his gallant services in
the field. his wise statesmanship and his pure
him, and their enthusiasm is not the
kind shat cools in day. IL the
choice of the convention falls him.
the indorsement at the polls in Grant county
by the Republican party will be such to con-
vince all men that he is the strongest man in
the race with US. If. said, General Harrison
is the leader of the Republican forces in In
diana, he has gone to the front. not because of
friends at court, but by reason of his own
man, orator, leader He Ia
the Republican leader in Indiana
and secured and maintains that leadership be-
cause be has In every way demonstrated his fit
ness and power to be such. I would not detract
from the abilities and well-earned reputation of
Judge Gresham; but to say that he approaches
General Harrison in popularity amongst the
Republicans of Indiana would sound very
strangely in this part of the State. Harrison
can carry Grant county by larger majority
than any living man. MARION.

An Irishman on Harrison.

To the Editor of the indianapolis JournaE
Senators Harrison and Sherman voted against
the restriction of Chinese immigration on the
ground that It was establishing precedent
which may be very easily turned against the
Irish, the English or the Germans. In plain
language. he looks upon it the revival OF
know-nothiu gsm. AS Trishman and work
ingman l always did look upon it in the same
light In this matter Ben Harrison deserves
praise, not blame For thirty years I have
watched the career os your ex-senator and
never found kim saying doing anything that
would justify workingmen in opposing him. L
don't think they have done so. will
they. The clacqners who are booming up an op-
position TO Ben Harrison may well hang up
their little fiddles and lay down to sleep. No
trotted by the called American
Protestant Union will ever be President of this
country. No man doomed up by the mumpers
and the free traders will receive the nomination
for President or Vice-president from the Re-
publican party. No member or ex member of
administration that stabbed Blaine In the
back need look for anything but curses and
jeers from Irish Republicans There is nothing
in the long and honorable career Of Ben Har-
rison that could possibly deprive him of the
earnest and enthusiastic support of Irish Amer
leans, OF any other class of liberal minded citi-
zens. 1t is far from being SO with Harrisons
