Senator voorhees, then paid his respects
to the Republican ticket, declaring Never
were candidates in their natures, educa-
ton, habits, avocstion and association
more absolutely the representatives OF
their party's declared policy than BenJa-
min Harrison and Levi P. Morton"
He dwelt upon the part General Harrl-
son took in suppressing the labor troubles
of 1887, and inquired: I'm what respect
does the career of General Harrison appeal
strongly to the pride of Indianans? l
would not disparage his just claims to the
respect of his countrymen, but whose duty
Is it to vote for him on the grounds OF
State pride?
AN INSULT TO INDIANA.
The Republican Presidential candidate
in the last campaign brought an action OF
Islander against Democratic newspaper OF
Indianapolis. 1t involved the most deli
cate matters of domestic life, concerning
which have never spoken and never
will. General Harrison was Mr.. Biaine's
leading lawyer, and when he moved
to dismiss the case without bringing
it to trial, he assigned as reason for
doing 80 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 Re-
publican Judge, with Republican Mar
shall and Republican Jury Commissioners,
had become 80 debauched by the influence
of political agitation, and by the recent
Democratic victory that citizen
of Maine could not secure q
fair trial, nor obtain justice in it,
nor, indeed, in any OF the courts of 1ndi-
ana. l do not know whether this paper
was written by lawyer or client, nor does
it matter; the presentation Of it for per-
record was the crime against the
honor of the State"
In conclusion Senator Voorhees, recount
ed the historic part of Gen. VIM. Henry
Harrison took to secure the repeal of the
sixth article of the Ordinance of 1857, and
thereby established slavery in the north
west territories, embracing Indiana.
