day morning to inquire into the lynch

the Colored jurors say that the names o.

Speeches to the Hoosiers.
WASHINGTON, June 2a.-Indiana Re-
publicans say the campaign will hardly
open in earnest until late In August.
General Harrison is not believer in
protracted campaigns, and will advise
an abatement until the farmers summer
work is done, and then open with n
bombardment on free trade.
Mr.. Blaine, soon after his return, will
visit General Harrison at his home for
several days to give all useful infOrma-
ton possible and lend advice. The
campaign will likely open in Indiana,
and the Maine statesman, it is thought,
will make more speeches to the Hoosiers
than in any other State,

riage ceremony, Mrs. Hammersly drew
the long undresscd light brown kidglove
from her right hand and placed her
gloved left hand in the Dukes palm.
Mrs. Hammersly answered the usual
questions in an indistinct voice, though
the Dukes responses were clear and
heard all around the room. The cere-
mony over, the Duke slipped the we'd
wing ring on the third finger Of her un-
gloved hand. The certificate was handed

The RopubIcan,platfur is cred
liable piece Of literary workmanship,
but has little else to commend it to
the favor of the country. 1t abounds
in glittering goneEalities, vol worded
catch phrases and high-sounding but
meaningless pMtitudes; it is uncan.
did, disingonuous, hypocritical and
dishonest in its treatment Of curront
political questions, and from first to
last is an appeal to ignorance, passion
and prejudice, rather than to the i'll
telligenco, good sense and patriotism
of the people.
Upon tho supreme Issue of the
hour-the revenue question-it is a
studied attempt to confuse and be-
fog the public mind The Demo
cratic demand for the repeal Of I'M
necessary and burdensome taxes is
falsely represented as a movement for
free trade, and in lieu Of the policy
of tariff reform proclaimed by the
Democratic party, a programme is
presented which embraces the repeal
of the internal tax on tobacco, and
the abolition of the entire revenue
system, if necessary, to save the AZ
per cent. tariff.
This is the feast to which the Re.
publican party invites the taxpayers
OF the country. Cheap whisky and
tobacco, dear clothing and food and
shelter, the indefinite perpetuation OF
war taxes in time of peace, for the
benefit, not of the public treasury,
but of monopoly; q continuation OF
the monstrous system OF licensed
spoliation which has bred millions OF
paupars. fostered combinations and
trusts, oppressed agriculture, robbed
labor of its just rewards and driven
American shipping from the high

What Means II!

There is something really surpris'
ing in the unprecedented delay this
year Of our candidates for county
offices in announcing themselves
through the newspapers. Such an
nouncoments have generally hereto,
fore begun to come in soon after the
March term of the district court.
Now June is almost gone, and still
thoro is not u solitary announcement
for county Office, save one for cattle
inspector at Kyle, in all three OF the
county papers. While such is the
case here, we notice scores of such
announcements in our exchanges
from other counties.
Again we inquire, what does 1t
mean? What new causes or condi-
tions have been discovered sufficient
to account for this extreme caution
and delay in announcing their pur
pose! We confess we are no sphinx
sufficient to read this riddle. But it
must mean something, what, we pre-
