4 DernnraIized Party.

The republican party OF Indiana has not
been so badly demoralized in many years
as at present. The high-handed outrages
.perpetrated by the Slick Six in their efforts
10 stife the Gresham sentiment have pro-
duced intense Indignation among republic
cans all over the state, which is find
ing vigorous expression in the leading
organs of their party. The recent
defeat of Gen. SHACKLEFoRD for
delegate at large to the national
convention has exasperated his friends
beyond measure, and they are threatening
dire revenge on CARR, MIcHENER, KER-
CHEvAL and the other ''fne worker" who
are held responsible for this result. The
Evansville Journal, which, in point OF
ability, character and influence is at the
head OF republican journalism in Indiana,
uses very strong language in speaking OF
the Harrison managers and the scurvy
tricks which they have played in their
leaders interest. In a recent issue it says:
What the republican party in Indiana needs
Is q reorganization OF the state central COM
mittee and new leadership. CARR, AlICHENER
and GRIFFIN ought 10 be beaten Tor re-nomina-
ton New men ought to be put on the state
ticket Even La TOILETTE, the superintendent
OF public instruetion-an Office that ought 10 be
non-political-has been meddling in other dis
trIcts than his own. Together with SAM kER-
CHEvAL, the representative OF border ruflian
politics they have sought 10 "set things up" in
the First district Frightened az the harm they
have wrought, they graciously tell the First
district. select your candidate in Capt.
L.EMcKEs place and he shall be nominated"
All, indeed. Who made them supreme arbiters2
Who conferred on them the prer0gative that
belongs to the delegates OF the republicans Of
tse whole state?
They row beg for peace and harmony, and
vhiningly plead that Indiana may defeat the
national ticket and Vanderburah county may
urn Indiana over to the enemy. Why didn't
these selfconstituted bosses think OF this be-
fore. when BRUCE CARR came down here like
.0eak and asked thar his name be kept out OF
the papers IN order that Nanderburgh county
might not know that he was in The district con-
spring against It's resident republicans? When
the balance OF these schemers were putting
their heads together in secret conclave in order
b deprive Gen. GRESHAM OF his fair share Of
delegates, why did they not recognize the fact
that Nanderburch county republicans had rights
hat deserved respect?
No wonder that Gen. HARRISON proposes 10
withdraw himself from the candidacy for presi-
dent. As an honorable man he must be
ashamed OF such scurvy associates and manag'
rs
We find the same sort OF talk in a good
many Indiana republican newspapers.
Evidently the revolt against the domina-
ion Of the indianapolis ring is widespread
and determined. If HARmsoN should by
any chance get on the national ticket, and
CAER, MIcHENER and LAFoLLErTE be re-
nominated, We apprehend that there will
be very decided shrinkage in the rePub-
ican vote OF Indiana next fall.

CHICAGO, May 21.-What came near being

near the corner of Fulton and Ann-sts. About

bullet grazed but did not hit him. lie sprang
upon his assailant and erappled with him.
The would-be murderer made frantic efforts to
escape or draw another bead on Bolander, but
the latter was too strong for him. Mr.. Bolan-
der succeeded in holding his man until two
officers arrived upon the scene and brought
both parties to the Desplaines-st. station. On
arriving at the station Mr.. BOlander informed
Capt Lewis that his assailant was not what he
appeared to be, but woman n disguise.
This turned out 70 be true. The mustache was

The Duty on Timber.

One of the wisest and most salutary
features OF the Mills tariff bill is the
clause putting timber used in building, in
ships and in wagon-making, on the free
list.
The protective duty on timber is an
anomaly. 1t is a burden on the whole
people. 1t increases the cost of houses,
fences, wagons, ships, and ten thousand
more prime necessities. 1t puts a pre-
MUM on the destruction OF American
forests, an evil which has already attained
alarming dimensions. 1t benefits only a
handful OF wealthy men. 1t does not in
crease the rewards OF labor Of any class.
The great lumber barons OF Michigan and
Wisconsin are among the wealthiest men
in the United States. The labor they en-
ploy is shamefully ill-paid.
The removal OF the timber duty will
cheaper shelter. ii houses can be builded
for less money than now, rents will be
lower Free timber will save the builders
OF vessels and of houses many millions of
dollars every year, more than 81 100000 on
imported timber, and many times that
amount on the domestic product 1t will
hurt nobody except few lumber kings,
who have fattened upon the tribute which
an Ubiquitous law has en- abled them to levy
upon the people. Why should any man
in Indiana, democrat or republican,
oppose the abolition of a tax so unjust
and onerous?

The Journal asserts that the dismissal OF

a Strong Team.

The democratic state central committee
met Thursday to select a successor to its
late chairman, the lamented JOHN r. Cor
DON. The choice fell upon the Hon.
CHARLES L. JEwErT of Floyd county. Mr..
JEwETT is one of the brainiest democrats
in the state, is thoroughly familiar with
its politics, has wide acquaintance, is
splendid organizer. and is in every way
admirably qualified for the difficult and
responsible duties which have been
devolved upon him. He will have the in
valuable cooperation of Mrs. p. SHEERIN,
who was chosen as vice-chairman,
and whose peculiar fitness for
executive work is universally recog-
nlzed throughout the state. JEwETT
and SEEER1N will make a strong
team. Their selection gives assurance OF
a thorough organization of the party, and
an aggressive and winning campaign.
The meeting of the committee brought
together number of working democrats
from all parts of the state. Their reports
of the situation in their respective locali-
ties were uniformly encouraging. The
democratic party is in splendid form all
over the.state. 1t is united, harmonious,
enthusiastic and confident of a sweeping
victory next November. 1t is solid for
CLEVELAND, and a unit for tariff reform.
The state ticket is entirely acceptable
everywhere. Altogether the democratic
prospects in Indiana are as flattering as
could be desired.

STREATOR ACCEPTS.
The Nominee of the Union Labor Party
for President Speaks.

NEW WINDSOR, H., May 20.-This village
is the home of the Hon. A. J. Streator,
the nominee OF the Cincinnati union
labor convention for the Office of pres
ident. Tonight has witnessed one of the
most novel and interesting event ever seen in
this country political gathering in which
there was no politics. Men of every political
creed spoke in response In tOasts, all giving
utterance to the most cordial congratulations
and TO the heartiest good will. Mr.. Streeter in
his address, said:
thank you, friends, for this distinguished and
epoch in your history; one that 1 hope may
be long remembered, not much for
myself, as its awakening among us OF fra
ternal and kindly spirit I did not desire the
and the sunlight and from every section of the
try thought it the voice of the industrial people
So in this grand demonstration, what is il but
the voice Of the people, in this farming community,
has been honored by nomination for president?
This is departure. In the past the presidential
candidates have been chosen from two classes of
people-the lawyer and the soldier on horseback
while the great industrial classes, comprising
three-fourths of all the people, have had no
candidates. Is IL any wonder, then, that their
interests have been neglected? Fellow citi-
zens, this country has known me for more
than thirty years YOu know me better than know
myself and / can ask nothing at your hands, having
already received more fayorS than am deserving of.
l deem il unwse at this time 10 discuss
political issues and you have done
questions 10 the end that we may have a good time,
a friendly greeting and TO mingle our voices,
hearts and our hands again. ! thank you for this
cordial reception, and may its memory be ever
green upon the tablets of our hearts.
a number of toasts were then responded to and the
meeting adjourned.

the sugar duty viii rake from the treasury so
many millions of dollars that thereby all the
other duties may be saved. The promise 10
give bounties is merely illusory. The present
tariif Is the result of combination; IL Is TO be
maintained by combination. The interests
when secured its passage are to retain its ben
ents; the means received by it, so far as neces-
sary are 10 be used to perpetuate il.
ne boast has been made on this floor that
the Chairman of the committee on ways and
means IN the Forty-eighth aud Forty-ninth
Seongresses-that gallant and pure gentleman,
brave OF heart, clean of life, loyal to friend,
frank to foe, with a conscience void OF vice and
love ior trutikthat nothing could daunt-has
been stricken down because he opposed this
combine Greatly as | deplore his defeat
ana as much as | miss his presence, ii may be
that his defeat, compaSsed as il was. will be of
greater benefit than his presence. His very
absence arrests the attention of the republic,
ana all the people ask, are such elections
necessary to the maintenance of this system?
Gentlemen, proteetionists, / warn you that the
vacant seat OF Morrison cries louder than the
virtues OF Duncan, against the deep damnation
OF his taking off,"
Mr.. Breckinridge closed with an eloauently
painted picture OF the future under an equally
adjusted tariff under which secret lodges of
discOntented operatives would become open
assemblages OF happy families. Slowly viii
this future come. We have our backs to it: To-
day let us turn our faces to its rising sun. If
we can do no more, We can lift our eyes toward
this east of new hopes and resolve that from
this hour our steps shall be in that direction"
Mr.. Breckinridge's reference to Mr.. Morrison
was greeted with the most tumultuous applause
on the democratic side, hands and arms were
wildly waved and books tossed into the air.
Turning toward Mr.. Randalps seat, Mr.. Breck-
inridge expressed his high appreciation of Mr..
RandalPs past services and of his present
ability, but added that it had panied him to
hear the gentleman close his speech by refer
ence to slavery. 1t contrasted with the manly
opening OF the gentleman from Ohio [McKin-
ley, when he put the past behind him and
looked to the present and future. The ap-
Plause, which had been literally interspersed
throughout Mr.. Breckinridge's speech grew
into a storm when that gentleman took his
seat. Cheer followed cheer, ladies in the gal
leries waved their handkerchiefs and Mr.
Breckinridge's colleagues rushed forward en-.
Enthusiastically 70 grasp his hand
The committee then and the house took
recess till p. m. At the evening session thirty
five pension bills were passed. Adjourned.
