HILL Az INDIANAPOLIS.

The fact can no longer be DISCUS.
ed that David B. Hill, governor Of
New York, is a candidate for the
democratic nomination for president
of the United States, and his candi-
dacy is becoming stronger here OF
late than ever. At this particular
time when the most unscrupulous
methods are being used to grind
down the democratic party under
the heel of the republican party the
democrats have been put fully on
their metal and they recall with
warm appreciation and applause the
sentiment on one occasion expressed
by Mr. Hill am democrat. :"
Mr.. Hill has a faculty of saying
things that please the democrats.
He may be represented as fraud
and trickster, cold-blooded politi-
cal assassin and a schemer, but
whenever he speaks he elicits the
warmest plaudits from his party.
While he was at Indianapolis attend
ing the unwilling of the Hendricks
monument he was invited by his
friends and accepted the invitation
to make a political speech. Here
are few passages from his address
which contain bitter arrangement
OF the republican party:
Our country is making a remarka-
bic chapter in her history. A strange
spectacle is that with which her peo
pie have been confronted at the seat
of government. A party, excluded
for four years from the control of
the administration and legislation,
vested with power in all branches of
government, is riding roughshod
over the presidents and practices of
a century, exercising powers never
intended to be conferred upon a ma
jority, violating the traditions and
principles of the republic, invading
the private rights of individuals, en-
croaching upon the prerogatives of
State. threatening the integrity of
the Constitution, and seriously I'M
dermining the foundations of our
free institutions. An era of parts
anship has been inaugurated such as
has characterized no period of our
history save that OF war. The in

shown more fragrant disregard of
the rights of minority. These are
not the prej'ldiced utterances of a
political Opponent. They are the
carefully considered words of one
who believes that strict adherence to
the theory of our governmental sys-
TEN Is essential to the preservation
OF american institutions. Individual
liberty, local self-government, rights
of States, popular sovereignty, equal
privileges, pure and economical adj
ministration are all imperilied in the
reckless strides which that party is
making toward Capitalization in gov
eminent. The Federal system which
our forefathers planned, has been
in operation century. Under it's
wise provisions we have prospered
as no other nation under the sun. 1t
has been subjected to severe tests,
but has been preserved in most of
its original simplicity. Time has
indicated the wisdom of It's fine
division of powers. But now, when
the land is peaceful and prosperous,
with no unusual condition which
might justify even a slight straining
of constitutional limits, the party in
control of the Government is break
ing down the safeguards of liberty
upon no more justifable ground
than the perpetuation of its own
power. The record which this party
has made in its brief restoration to
power is the great political issue be-
fore the people. It is the sudden
development of Hamiltonianism in
tensifed, but undignifed by such
creditable motives. 1t involves var
ious phases, tyrannical methods,
abuse of privileges, huge schemes of
extravagent expenditure, Legislative
favoritism by the enactment of high
tariffs, arbitrary laws, and malicious
of Federal authority:
but in all phases it stands for the
unawarranted usurpation of power
on the part of the general Govern
ment.

CHEAP JOHN,S GIFT.

Concerning the gift of a cottage
on the New Jersey coast by Johnny
Wanny and Philadelphia syndicate
to Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, the
Epoch says: Eff President Harri-
son had kicked downstairs the peo-
pie who offered his wife a cottage at
Cape May Point, he would have
done a creditable act. And if he
had destroyed his boots in admins
tering to them so useful a lesson,
plenty of people would be willing to
subscribe for a pair of new boots for
the president. His great mistake
was II not bringing his right leg
into action" There is no doubt
that Mrs. Harrison was innocent of
any intention to have her name used
by Wanamaker for advertising pur-
poses and his associates, who own all
the lots surrounding and adjoining
the cottage; and being an impulsive,
confding woman who, as the dis
patches state, never owned any real
estate before and felt proud of the
gift, her lack of due sense of propri-
ETY. and good taste in accepting the
gift may in ameasure be overlooked.
But no excuse whatever can be Of
fered by her husband. He mas out
ragged decency in allowing his wife
to accept the gift, and his conduct is
a humiliation of the whole American
people. The cottage had been built
from entirely new material, the GER
penters being engaged for months
at work on it. When Mrs. Harrison
moved into it she found it complete
ly furnished with everything neces-
sary to cook and serve meals. The
larder had been supplied with bar
rels of -four, sugar, crackers, chests
of tea and coffee, packages of maca-
roni, boxes of spice, sides of bacon,
big hams, bottles of olives, canned
fruit, soap, candles, matches, brush
es, brooms, washing machine and
wringer, stationary tubs, clothes
line and clothes-pins, hair mattresses
a milk COW and other things too te-
dious to mention. It was more like
a pound party given by the ladies of
a parish church and congregation to
their new minister than anything
that could be suggested. Just to
think of the president of the United
States and his wife being the recip-
tents of clothes-pins and washing
machines free all for the sake of ad-
vertising adjoining lots at a seaside
resort. Harrison has done many
small and disgusting things since he
became president of the United
States, but he has never done any
thing smaller than allowing his wife
to receive that Cape May Point cot |
age.

UNBIASED TESTIMONY.

Before the INSCRIPTIONS and
blinded republican partisans con-
sumate their attempted cri N e
against civilization by passing the
infamous federal election bill they
would better pause and reflect seri-
ously. If their intense sectional
hatred causes them to shut their
eyes and close their ears to the pro-
tests of the Southern people, let
them listen to the disinterested tes-
timony of reputable witnesses from
their own section who have visited
the South and who could have no
motives good OF bad of sufficient in
ducement to cause them to misrep-
resent the true condition of affairs
here. The New York Voice, the ma
ticnal organ of the prohibitionists,
the rank and file of whom are re-
publicans and compose the intoler-
ance, bigotry and wild fanatical ele-
ment in that party, which stands
out as the champion of the negro in
the South, contains a letter from
Rev. J. J. Hall, northern minister,
dated from Raleigh, North Carolina,
which the negrophilists and republi-
can pharisees of the North should
carefully read. Mr.. Hall has re-
sided for the past two years in the
South and has mingled freely with
both races. And as result of his
two years residence he is led to
frankly declare that after watching
matters closely he could hardly tell
that there is any race question but
for the newspapers and magazines;
that there is no race bitterness or
hatred on the part of the white peo-
pie towards the colored people in
the South; that the white people in
the South cling more tenaciously to
the negroes than do any other peo-
pie upon the face of the earth; that
whatever wrongs, if there be any,
are done the negroes of the South,
they can and will be far more right
eously settled by the Christian peo-
pie of the South than by the politi-
clans at Washington. These obser-
vations are patent to every right
thinking, honest and patriotic citi
zen of the land; and all attempts at
usurpation and unwarranted inter
ference on the part of the federal
government cannot but work disas
trously to the colored people. The
white people are naturally friendly
to the black people and entertain
feelings towards their old black
mammies of former days almost akin
to reverence. But any agitation of
the race question calculated to
bring the negro unduly into promi-
nence in politics and that is calcula-
ted to make him disposed to assert
the superiority of numbers over the
whites with the view of dominating
and overriding intelligence with
brute force cannot help from result
ing disastrously to the blacks. Ifi
The Northern people were really
friends of the colored people and
did not simply desire to use them as
grorant political dupes they would
10 their best to cultivate and en-
courage friendly relations between
he two races in the South, and as
means to this end would try to !
void having the blacks solid!y ar
aged in opposition to the whites on
political lines.

DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY.

The Lampasas Dispatch, of which
Col. ". II. Nichols is editor, pub
fishes several extracts from the plat
form declarations and records of the
democratic party to show that it is
and has always been the especial
champion of the people against the
unjust, unequal and inquitous tariff
system. And the consistency with
which the democratic party has
acted with reference to this subject
is a matter of which it should feel
proud. Thomas Jefferson is the
recognized founder of the democrat
ic party, and the first national dem
ocratic platform ever formulated,
which was drafted by Mr.. Jefferson
himself, contained a plank declaring
in favor Of ''free commerce with all
nations, on the ground that: Gus
tice and sound policy forbid the fed
eral government to foster one branch
of industry to the detriment of
another, that every citizen and every
section of country has right to de-
mand an equality of rights and priv
ileges; and that no more revenue
ought to be raised than is required
to defray the expense of the govern
ment." This declaration was reiter-
ated at every national convention
from 1910 to 1860, and in 1856 the
following was added: Resolved,
That the time has come when the
people of the United States should
declare themselves in favor of free
seas, of progressive free trade
throughout the world, and by solemn
manifestations place their moral in
fuence by the side of their success
full example, The tariff plank in
1876, when Samuel J. Tilden was
elected president and was swindled
out of the place by the SKI fraud,
contained the following terse Ian
guage: "We denounce the present
tariff, levied upon nearly 1000 az
ticles, as masterpiece of injustice, !
and false pretense. 1t
yields dwindling not yearly ris- |
ing revenue. 1t has impoverished |
many industries to subsidize few.
1t prohibits transports that might |
purchase the products of American
labor. 1t has degraded American
commerce from the first to an infe-
rior rank on the high seas. 1t has
cut down the sales of American man
ufactures at home and abroad, and
depleted the returns of American
agriculture-au industry followed
by half our people. 1t costs the
people five times more than it pro-
luces to the treasury, obstructs the
process of production and wastes
The fruits of labor. 1t promotes
fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches
dishonest officials and bankrupts
honest merchants. We demand that
Ill customhouse taxation be only
or revenue" And so the party has
continued up to this good hour de-
that the tariff be imp osed
or revenue only.

The BANNER mentioned the fact a
short time ago that the G. o. p. was
having a heap of trouble IN Wiscon-
sin on account of the disaffection of
large part of the population of the
state which is German Lutheran and
Catholic. The disaffection has been
brought about by the passage of a
measure providing for the compul-
sorry attendance of all children in the
state within certain ages upon the
public schools. The measure was
introduced, championed by and be-
came law through fundamentally
of the republicans, and is blow at
the liberty of citizens. The Luther
ans and Catholics make no resistance
against paying their school tax, but
they are religiouslY opposed to pub
lie schools; they believe in the incul-
cation of religious instruction as
part of the education of their chill
dren and prefer to send their chill
dren to the parochial school. So
long as they pay their school tax to
the state and county they have
right to send their children to school
where they please. But, as stated,
the republican measure above al
luded to seeks to compel them to
send their children to the public
schools. The result will be that
Wisconsin will very probably go
democratic at the next election. And
Wisconsin is not the only state that
is heaping up trouble on the
poor old republican party. '''Bleed-
ing" Kansas is all torn up politically

ing common interests with them
