4 FLOOD CT LIBELS AGAINST
GENERAL HARRISON
Being Poured Into Caiif0rnia-A
Warning Against Out
rageous Fraud.

The following dispatch fully explains
itself, and ought to warn voters in Califor-
MIA against the insidious schemes of the
enemies of Harrison and Morton:
INDIANAPOLIS, October 3lst-Chairman
Huston, of the Republican Central Com
mittee of Indiana, tonight furnished the
press with copy of the following interest
ing telegram;
INDIANAPOLIS October 81, lSS8.-To
d. H. de Young, Chairman of the Sub Com
mittee of the National Republican Committee,
San Francisco, and Hon. II. II. Djmond,
Chairman Stcte Central Committee, CaIJor-
MIA: Apprise the people of the Pacific
slope that the Democratic National Com
mittee, abetted by the Indiana Democratic
managers, has, during the past three days,
secretly emitted some 10000 copies Of
spurious and illegal publication styled,
The Labor Signal Supplement, containing
twenty columns of audacious lies about
General Harrison, ingeniously collated BY
a set of local scoundrels for the purpose of
assaulting the intelligence of your people,
and like the infamous Morey-letter forgery,
which it surpasses in depravity, it is aimed
to prejudice and misguide the workingmen
of the Pacific States.
This supplement was printed last Fri
day from the press of the Indianapolis
Sentinel, the organ of the Democratic
party, and the paper that first gave pub
licity to the vile slsnder on Mr.. Blaine in
1884. The mails and express now en- route
to California are weighted with this COM
pendulum Of Democratic campaign lies, the
bulk Of which will reach San Francisco
| Friday or Saturday. The Labor Signat
was once the organ of the local trades
unions, but through fraud, its management
and control were wrested from the stock
holders q few months since by two men
who it is claimed sold themselves to the
| Democratic party. The Superior Court of
this county last Saturday appointed re-
ceiver for the property, finding in its de-
cision that the publishers had diverted the
policy and purpose of said paper from the
design and purpose contemplated by the
stockholders and directors.
Under the Courts decision this supple
ment of lies, with which your section is
about to be flooded, is an unlawful publica-
ton which no one would dare to circulate
here. Let the Democratic managers in
their desperation, after being ignomini-
ously whipped out on the great political
issues of the campaign, now grasp at this
disgraceful and abortive means of retain
ing their ill-gotten power.
The supplement contains pretended ac-
counts of the railroad strike of 1887, and
General Harrison's connection Herewith,
which are grossly false. Ex-senator
Joseph E. Mcdonald and other prominent
Democrats have repeatedly and publicly
indorsed all that General Harrison did in
that matter, and have denied the stories
circulated in this publication. 1t reiter-
ates the "dollar-a-day" lie which General
Harrison denounced in his speech of
October 25th. 1t states that General Har-
rison drew his pay as a militiaman during
the strike, but libelously conceals the fact,
well known in Indiana, that General Har-
rison, with all others, simply assigned over
to the Light Infantry Of this city his
claim upon the State, and that the money
was collected and used by the Light In
fan ry, not dollar of it ever reaching
General Harrison's hands. Finally it
contains an incomplete and misleading ac-
count of General Harrison's record and
votes on the Chinese question.
Numerous other falsehoods touching
General Harrison are catalogued in this
sheet, constituting it the most extraordi-
nary chapter of lies ever attempted to be
inflicted upon tolerant public.
