HARRfsoH's OWN ROTTEN STATE.

The Lever, a Prohibition journal pub
lished in Chicago, in recent issue, has
some interesting details OF a late scan-
dalous outbreak in indianapolis. At
meeting of the Republican, state COM
mittee held at that place, and tele-
graphed under date of January 18th,
one of the committee, w. T. Brush, OF
Charlottesville, made very interesting
speech, which unfortunately for the
committee leaked out and got into the
state press: The gentleman saio:
SIT is no use to deceive ourselves.
There are more Democrats in this state
than Republicans. The only way we
can win is by inducing the Democrats to
vote our ticket. Can we induce them
to vote the Republican ticketwith cheap
Republican newspapers and lots of har-
mony? No.
"But Doodle will do it. Doodle did it
in 1880 and 1888, and Doodle can do it in
1892, gentlemen, if you can devise some
scheme to evade the Australian cleo
tion law which the Democrats adopted
to protect themselves against our effec-
tive methods.
ooh, what is the use of denying it,
gentlemen. You all know that Indiana
was carried for Harrison with Doodle.
Yes, gentlemen, if we can't beat this
new Australian law we can not expect
to win," he continued. II do not know
how it can be done. / admit that it is
more than / can do. Now for chair
man, / want man who is smart enough
to find some way to use Doodle in 1892,
notwithstanding the election law. Who
is the man for the emergency?
The journal, the Republican state
organ, admitted it to be true by saying
.editorially:
The only unpleasant incident OF Tues
days meeting was speech by Mr.. w.
T. Brush, of Charlottesville, in which
he took it upon himself to say that the
only way for Republicans to carry Indi-
ana was by the free use of money; that
the state had been previously carried by
this means, and that it could be done
again, Notwithstanding the Australian
ballot law.
1t is to be expected that the exposure
created great sensation and was espe-
cially notifying to the Republican
leaders. Mr.. Fishback tried to smooth
over the matter by publishing a card in
which he said:
There is a feeling that such frank
speech violates the sanctities, so to
speak, of the political family. Men
who have a,sense OF decency do not dis
cuss matters of domestic privacy in
public. A great many things are said
and done in the daily ordering of a
Christian household, which are taken for
granted without talking about them even
to our most intimate friends. So in pol
itics there is a certain prudency to be
observed as to matters OF management
in a campaign.
Their doctrine seems to be that all is
fair in politics, but the workers" must
be very careful of their speech, heed
ing Quay's injunction: Don't talk"
Mr.. Dorsey carried Indiana for Garfield
BY the liberal use Of 'soap"-two dollar
bills and Dudley's blocks of five" won
the day in 1888.
This confession that the diaboIical act
must be repeated in 1892 if the state is
to be carried is most forcible argument
that the Republican party is nauseat-
ingly corrupt, and is SO weak in the ma
ton that it is compelled to buy up the
close states.

WHERE Senator John James Ingalls,

Two iacts stand out in connection with

ueptional cleyerness. This his enemies

further, by ali honorable means, the
final passage Of such means are brought
before them by the state board Of
forestry that tend to the preservation of
our state timber lands, and to the en-
couragement of tree-planting through
out the treeless portion of this state.
The association will meet at 10 am.
on a week from next Saturday.

The sixth and last entertainme mt of the

Leland Powers the well known read r
and impersonator giving the play David
Gsrrick. This wss Mr.. Powers hrst ap-
pearance in Skowhegan, and because of
his high rank in his profession much was
expected of him, sl of which was full
filled. His impersonatiOn of the many
different and difficult characters, and
rapid changing from one to another was
remarkable. At times the stage seemed
filled with people rather than occupied by
one.man alone. The attending audience
was large one, and seldom is a Skow-
hogan audience aroused to such enthu-
siasm. At the close Of the last act Mr.
Powers was repeatedly recalled. The
musical part Of the program, cornet solos
by MIR. X. Il. Hall, was pleasant feature
of the evening. Mr. Hall is well known
here and is d great favorite, as he is every
where that he plays. Miss Lutte Brown
accompanied him on the piano.

a source of much pleasure aud benefit to
all who have attended and great praise is

a success in every way,
