1t cannot be called waving tina

extraordinary list. Given the FACTS
and what do we find?
That Dakota is a Republican terrS

That By rights it should be two Re
publican states.
That, other things being equal. It's
offices should be filed by Republicans.
That q large proportion OF it's Of

But the contrary is true, to-wits
Dakota is kept cut ofthe Union BY
9 Democratic administration for POI

The great majority OF its federal
and territorial Offices are filed by
Democrats, appointed because Of
tReiS value to the party, many OF
whom are nOn-rasidents.
Many OF these appointees are ex-

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1888-01-11

The shopk eepers say they lose mac.
more the year round by kleptomania than
shoplifting. The holiday season Just past
has been fruitful one to the amateur and
professional pilferer. The professional
shoplifter is watched, and, If detected,
treatment is summary; but with the anna
teur the procedure is of a most diplomatic
character. The usual method is to quietly
invite the offender into a private office,
afford an opportunity to dis gorge, and ad-
minister a well-worded warning. The big
retailers actually fear the unpopularity
engender cred by public exposure in these
cases, and are inclined to glaze over crimi-
nal delinquencies of this character, as
though the act was an irresponsible error.
There is one lady in this city who enters
dry.goods store and slYly corrals the most
absurd articles, Her weakness is known,
however, and her husband willingly settles
all bills presented. There are book fiends
who are unable to resist the surreptitous
requirement of every rare work they set
their eyes upon. Several of these men are
known and temporarily humored. A
bric.a-brac enthusiast was wont to go from
store to store collecting" piece here, a
teakwood stand there, until his depreda-
tions were finally made void by the pre-
sentation of number of bills, which he
promptly met. In the art stores about
town klfptomania is now happily confined
to the departments where cheap wares are
exposed.

THE PLATT CASE,
An Attempt by the Ex-senator to Explain
His Double Residence.

An Attempt by the Ex-senator to Explain
His Double Residence.
ALBANY, n. Y, January 1.-THE trial of
the suit brought in behalf of the State to
remove ex-senator Thomas G. Platt from
the office OF Quarantine Commissioner at
eligibility, was resumed to-day. TAe State
seeks to show that Platt is a resident Of
Owego, Toga County. whereas the law re-
quires that the Commissioned of Quaran-
tine must reside within the metropolitan
district of New York. A Tioga coun-
ty witness was called and exhibited
the poll lists for the town of Owego to show
that Mr.. Plat had voted in that town since
his claimed residence in New York. The
washerwoman of the Platt family twas
next placed on the stand. She testified that
she had done the washing of the family for
years at Owego, receiving linen by express
and returning it in the same way to New
York, and receiving her pay by check from
New York. This ended the evidence srom
the people.
The defense moved to dismiss the case on
the ground of lack of evidence. The mo.
ton was overruled, and, after an opening
argument by Lawyer Mcfarland for the
defense, Mr.. Platt took the stand and tes-
titled at length to show that while he was
born, and did business in Owego for thirty
years, and still visited that place fire.
quently, his business and residence were
now in New York. Aside from his office
of Quarantine Commissioners, his position
as President of the United States Express
Company rendered his daily presence in
the city of New York necessary. He had
cor sidered Owego his residence until
1878. Since 1879 he had been to 0wego on
an sversge of about four times a year.
Mr.. Platt said he had voted in Owego
every year since his removal, excapt 1888
and 1857.
Mr.. McFsrland-"Why did you vote
there2'
This question was objected to By the
prosecution and the objection was sus-
tanned. The question was put in several
other forms, bat was ruled out. The vii
ness continued: There was q diinite
understanding between myself and the ex-
press company that on accepting the posi-
tion ! should take up my residence in New
Yark. 1 have lived in New York City
from the time left Owego, in 1879, down
to the present time. I did not from 1879
onward have any intention OF going back
to 0wego TO live.'
On crosse zamination witness admitted
that he voted IN 0wego, and swore in his
vote in 1850, taking the general oath as to
his residence there; knew he was declares
elected to the Senate in 1881 as PIatt of
Owego, and did not call attention to the
error of residence, and in his affidavit to
chan &c the venue IN the case, last July, he
made oath that his legal domicile was in
Owego.
Several witnesses testified that Mr..
Platt, when in New York, occupied rooms
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

OLD sHELBY's DELEGATION.
The Military Band Visits the GOverno

The Military Band Visits the Governor
and Serenades the Sentinel.
The Shelby County delegation, 500
strong, and headed by the fine military
band of Shelbyville, visited the new State
House and called upon Governor Gray.
Mr.. L. J. Hackney introduced the dele
gates 10 the Governor. He said they had
called to pay their respects; that Shelby
County Democrats, for the first time in a
long while, were united and presented
solid front. The Governor responded IS
follows:
Ny Fellow-Democrats OF Shelby County-I
thank you for this NANTES tation of respect, It
is an unexpected pleasure to me, and am
highly gTatifed to hear from your spokesman
that the gallant Democracy OF old Shelby is uni
ted. and that the county at the next election
and be placed, where she properly belongs,
among the gallant Democratic counties OF the
State. Shelby County has always been con-
spicuous in Indiana politics, and being the
home OF the ever to be lamented Thomas A.
Hendricks, she owes Ii TO his distinguished
memory TO bring the county up to her
old-ume democratic majority ana conspicuous
ness as leading Democratic county OF the State.
From this large and enthusiastic delegation
that see before me, have not the least doubt
but such will be the case. assure you that
the last two months has witnessed wonder
full revival OF activity and enthusiasm In the
ranks of the Democracy of Indiana. and know
cd Shelby will not De behind in that respect
me, can only say in return, that shall devote
all my energies to helping, in every honorable
way, to secure the su"cess of the Democratic
party in Indiana and to maintain its princi-
pies
Later in the day the band. preceded by
Colonel Joseph Mcbride, of the Shelby
vile Democrat, serenaded the Sentinel,
playing three delightful airs. It is one
of the best musical organizations of the
kind in the State, and old Shelby may
well feel proud of it. Professor ]. S. Ber-
gen is leader of the band, and the members
are E Barrett, L Kinsley, j. NARROW, M.
Rembush, j. Fissey, G. Blair, @. Lacey, G.
Milleson, Lew Webb, H. Shelk. ]. Mil
lesob, L. Blair, w. Chapman, f ,lie
Kinsley, Sam Muchmore, II. Ballard, r.
Morris, Ora Chapman and Ora Ludlow.
The band is splendidly uniformed, and
makes fine appearance. 1t was emf
nently appropriate that the hammer dele
cation should be accompanied by one OF
the finest bands in the State.

The French Chamber Conyenes.

PARIS, January 10-The Chamber re-as-
sembled to-day. M. Pierre Blanc, senior
member, acted as President of the Cham
Der of Deputies at opening session. In an
address he expressed the hope that the
session would be fruitful of legislative re.
suits and appealed for union of the Re-
publican groups in order to effect reforms.
and show foreigners a united France.
BslIoting for President resulted in the re-
election of NJ. Floquet, 25S to 3S. In the
Senate NJ. Carnot, father of President Car
not, senior member, took the Presidents
chair, and said the Congress of the Senate
and Deputies manifested by its second
choice OF President desire for peace at
home and abroad and respect for the laws.
A change of the highest official of the
State has been effected so easily that it
sould inspire confidence in the future of
the nation.

eminent political economist, James Rus

that feel myself strongly attached to
Mr.. Cleveland as the best representative of
the highest type Of Americanism that we
have seen since Lincoln was snatched

euisbtd Republican has called out many
denunclations from the leaders of the Re-
publican party here as well as from the
press 81 that party. They cannot endure
any Republican that has the independence
OF Mr.. Lowell. The fact that Cleveland's
administration has been a successful one
counts for nothing. They would destroy
