TIE INSANE ASYLUM HORROR.

The frantic efforts of the Sentinel to cover
up the Insane Asylum disgrace show that the
Democrats finally realize the danger which
threatens them from their Encouragement OF
the State benevolent institutions. Their
eleventh-hour protestations and excuses are
altogether too late. Two years ago it was
proved beyond doubt that the helpless in
mates were at the mercy of the most unscru-
pulous gang that ever obtained control of a
public trust. Every possible effort to hinder
investigation was made by the Democratic
members of the Legislature. themselves will

that the insane patients, people whose mental
condition depends largely upon their physical
well-being, were fed upon vile and sickening
food, while the taxpayers were providing q
FUND sufficient to supply them with the best.

AGAIN we advise the public to be prepared
for some new scheme Of fraud and deviltry
for the injury of Gen. Harrison. We have
reason to know that it is intended in some
way to get up q Chinese demonstration on the
eve Of election, which is to be used in certain
localities, as was the Morey letter in 1880, to
the disadvantage of the Republican candi-
dates. This is one Of the good schemes"
1t is a cheap trick.

DANIEL w. VOORHEES, is another of the
Sons of Thunder who are going over the
State bowling about Democratic success, and
misleading their Democratic votaries into bet
ting their money. MIR. voorhees, is a fine
specimen of a political prophet. Two years
ago Mr.. Voorhees, publicly proclaimed that if
the Democrats did not elect two-thirds of the
General Assembly he would feel personally
disgraced." The Democrats, by fraud and
force, managed to get a false majority of just
two. The man who pins his faith to the
prophecies of Daniel W. Voorhees, is likely to
be badly left.

AN EXPOSURE.

The third-party Prohibitionists have an
nounced a closing rally tonight at Tomlin-
son Hall, at which Mr.. st. John and Mrs.
Helen NJ. Cougar are to be the speakers. The
Journal has not paid much attention to the
Democratic Aid Society in this campaign, be-
lieving that sincere and honorable temperance
people are finding out for themselves the utter
shamelessness Of the movement as engineered
gotten control of the Prohibition party and
organization. Not many candid men and
women are left in that crowd. But, with
the belief that there may be some few still
who do not fully understand the purpose of
the third party managers to be to assist in
the election of Grover Cleveland and the tri-
umph Of the free-whisky Democratic party,
without any reference whatever to the cause
or interests of temperance or prohibition, we
give to the public an extract from q letter
written by Mrs. Helen NJ. Cougar so far back
as July 6, last, a month before the date of
the Republican State convention, which
shows her purpose and desire then, and
exposes her motive throughout the campaign.
Ths letter came into the possession of the
Journal in a way which leaves us perfectly
free to use it. The portions omitted are en-
tirely personal, and have no reference what
ever to politics. The extract is as follows:
