Pan-electric hopes, which is still pursuing its
expensive way toward certain and scandalous
failure" Inasmuch as the chief of this

nounced its intention of supporting the Dem

ANOTHER THOUSAND DOLLAR OFFER.

A letter from Tere Haute, Ind, says that
Mr.. Ed Miller, an engineer on the Vandalia
railroad, is repeating the statement that Gen.
eral Harrison said, during the labor trouble Of
1877, that eff he [Harrison] was in power he
would put the men to work at the point of the
bayonet, and if that would not do. he would
shoot them down like dogs" It is hardly
worth while to deny such story as this; but
inasmuch as Mr.. Miller is given as authority
for it, we desire to say to him, or to
any other man, woman or child in the United
States, that upon furnishing proof of such a
statement having been made by General Har-
rison, at the time mentioned, or at any other
time, one thousand dollars will be paid in
cash by the Journal. The proof
required will be only such proof as
would be accepted by ordinarily prudent
business men for the basis of any transaction
involving that amount of money. Mr. Mil
Ter, if the report be true. can make more
money by hunting up this proof than by re-
failing what any man with thimbleful of
brains must know to be silly. idiotic lie.
The letter from which we have quoted fur
ther says: "The ticket Harrison and Nor
ton) seems to be gaining strength every day,
and the one thousand dollar offer for proof OF
only dollar day was enough was bomb
in the enemy's camp, and they are just now
trying to look in every direction at once, and
asking excitedly of one another what it was
that hit them"

concerning General Harrison's connection with
the railroad strike of 1877, and says:

THE Constitution Of the late Confederate

''No bounties shall be granted from the
treasury, nor shall any duties or taxes on i'm

Cleveland's free trade message as expressing
