says the Indiana delegates were all elected be-
fore any special effort had been made to bring
out Judge Gresham as candidate, and that
q majority of the delegases chosen would vote
for Gresham on the first ballot had they not
been instructed for Harrison. This assertion
is correct with two exceptions, namely: It
has been generally understood in Indiana
since 1884 that Judge Gresham would DO .
candidate for the presidency before the con-
vention Of 1888; the Indiana delegation is for
Harrison with no sifs."

A SPECIMEN PROHIBITION HYpoosrrE.

One Rev. ~ Adam Scott who is playing
the role of a circuit preacher in the southern
part of Jennings and northern part of Jeffer-
son county for livelihood, is devoting his
spare moments, of which he seems to have
many, to pious denunciation of the Repub-
lican party as being entirely too corrupt for
him, and especially as being wickedly wrong
on the temperance question and entirely too
much under the control Of the saloon to allow
him to work with it. His zeal in behalf Of
prohibition, and especially that branch of the
prohibition work which demands the immedi-
ate and utter overthrow of tho Republican
party, has caused some of his old neighbors in
jackson county to unearth his war record and
the love he had for the Republican party in war
times. As part of the developments of this
search. a Brownstown correspondent Of the
Seymour Republican says: He was orig
inally from Ohio, aud claims to have once
been Republican, but was forced to sever
his connection Herewith on account Of its
corruptions and ungodly teachings; but bis

ever tinctured in the slightest degree with
RepubIicanism, but. on the contrary, indi-
Gates that he was always Democrat, ram
pant, and copperhead Of the first water dur
ing and after the war. So enthused was this
reverend gentleman over the assassination of
President Lincoln that be purchased q dozen

tribrted them among his friends and neiehbors

one with which to decorate his own parlor.
These facts can be proven by q multitude Of
living witnesses in this county. Brother
SCOTS manners during the last presidential
campaign are still fresh in memory"
Rev. % Adam Scott had a right to hate
the Republicans during the wal. He had as
much right as the late iamented Governor
Hendricks not to 60 to the war himself or
not TO advise others to 60; he had right to
rejoice in the assassination of President Lin
coin, and to preserve, as q memento, the pho
tograph Of Booth, the assassin. He had a
right to consort with those who consorted with
Horsey. and Heffren and Milligan in the
war times and he has right now to hate the
Republican party, he certainly does; but
he has no right to profess that this hatred
grows out of the partys attitude on the tenn
perance question. When the reverend gen.
tleman has the honesty to say that he always
hated it; that he did his best to destroy it
during the war and Immediately after the
war, and that his assumed zeal for prohibition
is only new pretext for bate, and that he
still votes the Democratic ticket after talking
prohibition all summer, he will command
more respect than now. The Republican
party survived his hate of quarter of Gen.
fury ago, and may possibly survive his pres
emit attacks

The following extract from an editorial lin
the New York Star, headed 'What Civil-serv-

spirit of American humor is not dying out:
''Step by step he has utilized the new sys.
tenn as weapon to insure the filling of minor
executive posts by men to be depended upon
for their honesty as veil as their capacity. In
a word. he has made civil-service reform prac-
tical and of vast benefit to the country, while
steadily refusing to 90 beyond the powers in
trusted to him by the law, well knowing that
any transgression of his authority would be
in itself the greatest blow he could infict on
the cause of reform"

In vetoiug the electoral reform bill Gov.
Hill, of New York. has proven true to Demo
cratic traditions and presidents. The bill
was carefully framed in the interest of honest
elections and was devoid of any partisan bear
ing. Public opinion was strongly in favor of
it, and the only opposition came from the
classes who are interested in the maintenance
of political fraud and corruption. Governor
Hill has vetoed the bill to please those classes
just as he vetoed the high-license bill to
please the saloon-keepers. 1t proves anew
that the Democratic party as party is the
determined opponent of honest elections.
