PORTLAND, Ind, November 1.-Seu-
ator John Sherman made the opening
speech in his Indiana campaign this af-
ternoon, to large audience which had
gathered from surrounding counties.
He said: IAN enterprising Democratic
paper recently said John Sherman and
the Republicans had given up Indiana
You will all tell them that they lie; but
1 think Grover Cleveland and all his
hosts, if they could see this mass of
people, would be willing to give up the
ghost, like Mr.. West, of England. My
fellow-citizens, how came
THE DEMOCRATS IN POWER
in this country? Has there been 8
thing done in the twenty-four years of
Republican administration that every
Democrat now within the sound of my
voice does not know, approve. and en-

anybody want to. go back to the old
shinplasters and wildcat money? We
gave this country the greatest credit any
country ever had in the world, and now
this question again comes up.
WHY WAS THIS PARTY TURNED OUT
of power? Why was it that the Demo-
cratic power, defeated over and over
again by the loyal States of the Union,
was restored again to the control of the
Union? will tell you. will correct
some of you and tell you why, and if l
do not correct you, correct me. In the
first place, they said the Republican
Party had boarded up money IN the
treasury that we had kept idle and from
circulation of the people, and that they
would scatter it if ever they got hol1.
They said the civil services were incor-
rectly and fraudulently used and taken
care of. They were going to
TURN THE RAsCALs OUT.
They were going to have civil service
reform. They say the Republicans
were extravagant and that if they got
into power they would husband your
resources and would not tax you so
much. Did they put out that money
that was in the treasury No, my
countrymen, they went on specializing.
When the Democratic Party went into
power, we had about $130, 100000 kept
there to pay the current expenses of
the nation and to maintain the credit
of the country, to redeem bonds, etc.;
we had besides that various other de-
posts in the Treasury, but it was not
the money of the nation. 1t was held

and they paid gold and silver notes and
greenbacks for it. Here is the state

rascaIs out. What rascals did they find
to turn out? l say, and 1 say it upon
my own responsibility, that Grover
Cleveland never pretended to call them
any men that he turned out of office,
from petty postmaster to the higher
officers under his control-rascals. How

been fulfilled that was promised in
1884. Another thing. All the time
when l was Secretary of the Treasury,
whenever there was 100000 over that

MAINTAINING OUR CREDIT, ETC.,

it now? Instead of that the present
Secretary, with the consent of the Pres

selected national banks to the amount
of $4,000, 900. on the pretense that it
was better to have the money out
among the people rather than pay
bonds. How have they conducted our

the fisheries question. They gave up
everything they had, and that was not
much, and when the Senate refused to

On who? On the people themselves;
and all that this administration has
done is that it has finally got the appro-

is Mr.. West simply told the truth. There
is not word in Vests letter but what
every man here knows to be true. In
other words, all the policy of this ad-
is in favor Of England, and
all West said was that Cleveland issued
his retaliation proclamation and that it
was only for election purposes. If that
letter to West was forgery, l don't
