POLITICAL NOTE AND COMMENT.

THE people of Maine rave adopted q
reading and writing qualification for vos-
ers. but it does not disfranchIse any who
are now voters who cannot read and write.
CHAIRMAN HARRITY actually had hopes
of carrying Maine. 1t is said. He believed
that Blaine's friends were seriously dissf-
fected and would show their feelings by
defeating Tom Reed surely. and the State
ticket probably.
LAURA NJ. JONES. of Salins. president of
the Kansas Woman's Suffrage Association.
has begun to organize women's Republican
clubs in that State. She will adopt the
The scheme has the sanction of the Repub-
Ilcan State central committee, n great
results are expected from it.
In one ward In Augusta, Me-. casting $50
votes, seventeen were defective. of which
fourteen were Republican. This was due
To the fact that more Republicans under
took to amend the regular ticket to their
liking, and failed altogether. The only safe
wav Is for Republicans to vote the straight
ticket. which in Indiana is TO stamp the
square with the eagle.
AN interesting campaign document has
inst been issued by the Republican Ia
tional committee. under the title of Mug.
gets and Crytals." 1t consists of selections
from the public speeches and official pa
pers of Benjamin Harrison. and gives a
generous number of the good things he has
said. TINS giving a forcible presentation of
his views upon the vital questions of the
hour.
WHEN the Republican convention in
New jersey nominated John Kesn. jr., for
Governor. his three competitors consti.
tuted themselves q committee to escort him
TO the convention. and after he had &C.
cepted each pledged his best efforts to in
sure bis election. With so many Demo-
cratic ringsters in Jail and with its bitter
Democratic feuds. New Jersey promises to
be q Harrison State In November.
ALTHOUGH twardly much satisfaction
is expressed over Senator Hills willing
ness to speak, yet the members of the
Democratic national committee place very
little reliance upon his assistance. Hill
very clearly stated. when accepting the in
viration of the Brooklyn men, that he
would address them because they had al
ways been his loyal friends. He did not
say that he had decided to speak because
he thought IL would help the party, and
this fact is we'll understood. Senator Hill
simply means to compliment the Brooklyn
Democrats, and means nothing more.
AS a sort OF campaign starter.
And promoter OF hilarity,
We should like to see Tom Carter
Run a foot-race with Bill Harrity.

they cast 1922 per cent, and so
on. The small Republican vote in 1890,
45.45 per cent. of the whole, was due to
peculiar conditions, all working against
a full Republican vote. yet even nat
year they cast within 8 per cent. as
many votes as the Democrats. The
election returns for the last twenty
years show beyond a doubt that from 4s
to 40 per cent. of all the voters in the
State are Republicans. 1t follows that
in a just appOrtiOnment they ought TO
have as nearly as possible half the MEM
bers of Congress and half of both
branches of the Legislature. At pres
ent they have two out of thirteen MEN,
bers of Congress, and Chairman Tag
CART says they will not be able to get
any more. Of course. Mr.. Taggart is
apt to be badly mistaken in his predic-
ton, but his statement shows what the
congressional g~errymander was ex-
pected to accomplish, and what the De-
mocracy still hope to be able to do un-
der it. There could not be a more
shameless confession of the injustice of
an ap~portionment than Chairman Tag
CARTS assertion above quoted.
Another paragraph in his address is as
follows:
Certain Republican schemers hsv conn.,
menced a law suit between Republicans,
prosecuted and defended by Republican
attorneys before an obscure Republican
c~Ourt-to destroy the Legislative apportion-
ment made by law of the last General As
semnly-a law just and fair to the minor
ity, and much more so than any apportion-
ment made by Republicans. How the Su-
preme Court of Indiana may view this
nefarious scheme is not known, but, as the
Democratic majority in this State two
years ago was twenty thousand, we shall
be prepared promptly to meet any action
which the defeated minority may take,
judicial or otherwise.
One might suppose from this that Re-
publicans have no right to enter the
courts for justice and that Obscure Re-
publican courts" or courts with Repub-
lican judges. have no right to exist.
Upon what ground does Mr.. Taggart
presume to call the Circuit Court of
Henry county can obscure Republican
courtW And by what authority does he
characterize an open movement to test
the constitutionality of the apportion-
ment act as "a nefarious schemef" The
man'sh head is gettinR too big for his body.
1t is not true, as stated in this address,
that "the Democratic majority i'm this
State two years ago was 10000" The
Democrats have not carried the State
by a majority for a great many years.
Two years g they cast less than 40
per cent. of the total vote-233.SS out
of AT, 643-and that was nearer u ma
jority than they have had since 1880.
when they still fell short of casting half
the vote. This is not a Democratic
State. and the party has only main
tanned it's ascendency in past years by
force and fraud, as represented ina
series of infamous Rerrymanders.

The Sentinel, in a long editorial, in
vitest the Journal to discuss the question
of registration. No wonder the Senti-
mel is anxious to change the order of
the election of 1890. its advocacy of the
land tax, its obnoxious tax law which it
was once wont to declare it was proud
of" and its more recent exhibition of
malignity in assailing the industrial en-
terprises of Indiana. are matters which
that paper would have ignored if it
were possible. But it is not possible.
The battle is on. and the Sentinel will
be held to its record and that of it's
party leaders.

GEN. DANIEL Z. SICKLEs, a One-legged
