WHEN Father McGlynn gets tired of the
Labor party, as he is sure to do. since he is not
properly adjusted there, he cannot join the
Democracy. A man who can utter such sen
timents as the following has no place in the
party which produces and cherishes ballot-box
suffers, tally-sheet forgers, and perpetrates
election frauds of all kinds Listen to him:
ga political duty is religious duty. The
man is traitor to God who sells his vote. The
man who fails to vote insults God, because he
delays the coming of His kingdom It is
high time that politics should be purified, and
that men should see and act on the principle
that politics and religion are one. Election
day is not merely holiday, but holy day.
The voter may, with prorriety, ego down on
his knees and beg God to bless and guide him
in depositing his ballot"
Think how soon man preaching such SEN
timents would be 'read out Of the party by
indianapolis Democrats.

THE New York Times s authority for the
statement that Mrs. Thurber, of National Opera
fame, and the trustees Of the National Conserva-
tory of Music, in that city, have prepared pc
tition for presentation to Congress. asking that
the sum OF $780, 600 be appropriated from the
national treasury to aid in the support of that
institution. The petition refers to the fact that
appropriations are made for the encouragement
of the agricultural aud other resources Of the
country, and that among the arts the first rank
is held by music, for the development of which
large amounts voted annually by every
European government. America say the Pc
titioners, has thus far done nothing In ma
tional way either to promote the musical educa-
ton of her people to develop any musical
genius they may possess, fact the more to be
regretted. they think, because in respect of
musical talent the American people second
to no other. All this sounds very fine, and per-

THE New York Evening Post devotes a
lengthy article to General Harrison as presi-
Dental candidate, and noticing recent re-
mark to an interviewer that he would make
the campaign
"Upon the Republican platform. You
know what that is. The tariff is not the only
issue. We believe down our way in free

says: ut thus appears that General Harrison
asks the country to restore the Republican
party to power in 1889 on the ground that it
can do something towards securing "a free
ballot and fair count in the South" and
adds:
'.Does he mean what he appears to intimate?
In other words, does he want the country to
understand that if he were to be elected Pres
ident, he would revive the force policy, and
order federal troops to be used in organizing
State Legislatures Or is he trying to de-
ceive the public7 When he says that I'VE be-
lieve down our way in free ballot and a fair
count is he attempting to fool people with
the idea that, if he became President, he
would do something about itp"
The Post wants the Journal to see General
Harrison and find out what he means. The
Journal respectfully refers it's New York Con-
temporary to General Harrison's Detroit
speech. It will there find pretty full state
ment of what he MEANS and also of what the
Republican party means.

wrote to Postmastergeneral Dickinson to ask
whether he could take part in the election
contest in his district, that eminent reformer
replied: ''Ail the rights of American citi-

in that capacity will be approved by the de-

A WORD IN SEASON.

The indianapolis Journal does not feel
called upon to defend its Republicanism, or its
unvarying policy Of treating with equal con-
sideration and justice, ali and singular, every
true and loyal Republican, whether So
called leader or high private in the ranks.
IL there has been at any time departure from
that policy we are unaware of it; if at any
sition to any Republican, the fact is not
recalled. If by any word suggestion we
have evinced a disposition or desire to bring
about dissensions in the party. or to cause Ill
feeling between the friends and advocates of
various probable possible candidates, we
should be glad to have the fault pointed out.
The Journal has its opinions and its favorites
not upon any personal ground. but upon
the broader and higher ground of what seems
to be the desire of the overwhelming majority
of the party, and what impresses US as the
logical necessity of present and future party
harmony and effectiveness. The Journal
does not seek to 'boss" anybody or anything;
and if there is any man on earth with fewer
OF the CHARACTERISTICS Oh 'DOSS IMAM U0Qeral
Harrison, he has never come within the
range of our vision. To talk of the
Journals advocacy of General Harrison
as attempted "bossism." or to try to create
the impression that General Harrison is seek
ing to dictate his own advanc ement at the
expense of anyone else, or of the party, is
not only sheer nonsense but it is conspicu-
ously false. Not by word or suggestion has
the Journal put itself in position where it
could not honorably and earnestly support any
candidate, no matter who he may be; and we
shall not. The Journal will not be responsible
for any quarrel, whether it be tempest in a
teapot, or one of larger dimensions; but it
may as well be understood. now and here, that
while other newspapers throughout the State
arrogate to themselves the undoubted
right and privilege of expressing their opin-
ions upon both candidates and measures the
Journal will do the same. That the Journal
happens to be published at Indianapolis is no
reason why it should put it's hand over its
mouth and be afraid to speak its mind. The
Journal is not that kind of newspaper, and we
hope never will be. And we take occasion to
suggest that other newspapers. and other Re-
publicans as WELL emulate the spirit and ex-
ample of the journal in regard to the
treatment of individuals.

treaty, and this does not seem to have been

not need. and gives up about all we wanted.
As it is bitterly denounced by fishermen

probably be rejected by the Senate.

AN esteemed friend and thorough Repub-
private note:
Would it be the slightest encouragement
for me to say that the course of the Journal
is exceedingly gratifying to all good Repub-
licans, especially upon the bloody shirt
question? Permit me to say it anyway"
1t is the very highest encouragement to re-
ceive such expressions. 1t is our only desire
to make the Journal true and answering
advocate of the best thought of the Republic
anism of Indiana. If we can DO that it will be an
exponent of the best national Republicanism,

Hon. WILLIAM MCKINLEY joins the grow
ing Republican column in placing the coming
questions in their right relation to each other.
In his Detroit speech, to the sentiment
Washington as a Protectionist, /" the brilliant
Ohio Congressman prefaced what he had to
say by the following:
''When you bring this Democratic party be-
fore the bar of public Judgment, General
Harrison has ably done tonight what an
swer does it make to the accusation? It an
swers you the highway man. answers you
who attacks you at night and seizes your
purse, and in answer to your helpless
and hopeless protest inquiries, What
you going to do about its or else turns
upon you and says, You are now reviv-
ing the recollections of the war Now,
| want to say here tonight, that if declaring
for the integrity and purity of the ballot be
reviving the recollections of the war. then be
it So and the Republican party will continue
to revive those recolections until justice be
done to every citizen, and suffrage be equal
wherever flag floats within the jurisdiction
of the government.
'.As political party the Republicans have
placed the war, with its hates and reyenges,
behind it, and we only insist that the settle
ment made between Grant and Lee, Grant
representing the federal government on the
one hand, and Lee representing the con-
Ie0erate government on the Other-that that
settlement shall stand irrevocable and be
obeyed and respected by every citizen every
where.
From the wars dread fiery ordeal
No bitter hates we bring;
No threat of wild revenges
No cruel taunts to fling.
But must neer prove faith1ess
To the gallant blood they shed;
Our foes may be forgiven,
But dead.
o boys who fell at Shiloh
At Richmond and Bull Run
The work your brave hands finished
Shall never undone.
Sleep sweetly through the ages,
Oh, dear and gallant dust
The men who guard your victories
Stand faithful to their trust.
''That is the Republican platform. And if
it be too high or too pronounced for any Re-
publican to stand upon the sooner he gets off
of it the better. for the procession proposes
to move on under that banner to victory in

THE New York Sun, noticing the fact that
the presidential campaign will be only
twenty-five weeks long, says:
ga canvass of twenty-five weeks is long
enough, and more than long enough, to make
ssure the election of a candidate of the united
Democracy platform that will carry New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Twenty
two weeks, moreover, will be long enough to
make sure the defeat of a free-trade candidate,
standing upon a free-trade platform and
depending upon free-trade support in New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut. In fact,
twenty hours would answer quite as WE'LL
If certain gentlemen within the Democratic

the bad weather sets in.

coast, we may quote the following from the
Portland Oregonian of a recent date:

Senator Sherman is q candidate and
frankly avows it. He is strong and able; his
name is honorably identified with the history
in public affairs is larger, perhaps, than that
of any other American statesman living; he Is
a man of cool temperament and sound
Judgment, and all the public interests would
be safe in his hands. There are other Names
as Allison, Gresham, Hawley and Harrison, to
any one of whom the nomination might, with
great propriety, 60"
1t will be observed that the Oregonian
names all of the Senators the Fort Wayne
man rules out, and the Oregonian possibly
knows as much of the Pacific coast sentiment
as our Indiana friend.
