fully and gladly in the extremely moderate
the Mills BILL The slave holders Of the
south once belonged to the class which
composed the money power They once
were monopolists of cheap underpaid
labor. Their rights under the fugitive
slave law and in the territories were
arrogantly pressed to point where their
sword was drawn and millions of men
took the field Then the section which
had everything in possession and conse-
quently everything to lose and nothing to
gain, lost its entire substance in
struggle for a shadow, a
theory. The most bitter and implacable
supporters of slavery and of its extension,
thirty Years ago We're IN fact the most
successful and efficient abolitonists of the
and their blows came back to destroy
them. And so it will be with the purse
proud, insolent, blind and misied tax
eaters of the present day. By making no
concession to the overtaxed condition OF
the people to the overwhelming surplus IN
the treasury and by refusing to permit a
single dollar of reduction on the necessi-
that whisky and tobacco should go free,
the manufacturers have done more TO pro-

Senator Voorhees, then paid his respects
to the Republican ticket, declaring:
Never We're candidates. Ia their natures,
education, habits, avocatlons and associa-
tons more absolutely the representatives,

career of General Harrison appeal so
strongly to the pride of Indianians? l
would not disparage his just claims to the
respect of his countrymen, but whose duty
it is to vote for him on the grounds of
state pride" The Republican presidential
candidate in the last campaign brought an
action Of Islander against DEMOCRATIC
newspaper of Indianapolis. 1t involved
the most delicate matters of domestic life,
concerning which nave never spoken and
never will. General Harrison was .Mr.
Baine's leading lawyer, and when he
moved to dismiss the case without bring
ing it to trial he assigned as a reason for
doing so, such libel on the state and on
the court that Judge Woods refused the
paper containing it place on his files.
In that paper it was in substance
alleged that a court presided over by
an intense Republican judge. with
marshal and Republican jury

TO secure the repeal of the sixth article OF
the ordinance of l751 and thereby establish
