Mr.. Harrison had Il great deal to
say in his message concerning Tree
ballot, etc, recommending some aC
ton dealing with the Michigan plan
of voting for presidential electors by
districts, which he thought destruc-
tive to representative government,
which is really the right principle.
The Courier Journal gives him some
center shots on this. Mr.. Harrison
suggested as remedy for the evils
he complained of "that uon-parti.
san commission composed in whole
or in part of the Judges of the Su.
preme court, be appointed to con-
slider the whole matter and devise
measures Of reform"
Following is the rule of practice by
the president:
ain 1883 the voice Of the people of
Indiana was stitled, and the vote of
the State was counted for Mr.. Harri-
son.
"All the evidence accessible to the
public clearly indicated that a plan
to purchase votes in "blOcks Of five"
had been successful, and the scheme
was so notorious that Judge Wood re.
ferred to ii officially.
"Two men were justly or unjustly
held by the public responsible for the
conception and execution of the plan
of campaign by which voters were TO
be purchased in blocks of five. These
men were William A. Dudley and
Stephen b. Elkins.
'lnvestigation began, but just as
it became interesting, Judge Woods
reversed his own rulings, changed
front on the issue, practically putting
an end to the prosecution shielding
the perpetrators OF the outrage"
Mr.. Harrison, rewarding Judoo
Wood for this, has sent in his no,no
for one of the new judges to be con.
firmed by the Senate aud has taken
Staue Elkins into his cabinet as See
retary of War. Dudley has nov os ,,r

The cranks who are trying to keep
with the gold bugs, and don't know
any better, are parading Gov. Hills
silver speech as opposed to free coin
age, inasmuch as he declares in favor
OF "a silver dollar equivalent in value
to any other dollar" That is just
what free coinage people want, and
what we had before silver was
demonetized. Democracy is opposed
to the present Sherman Is cents dol
lar, which Mr.. Mills tried to make
the people of Ohio believe was good
enough to supply our present neces-
sites, and this is what beat Campbell
and what beat Mills for speaker of
the House. Gov. Hill took position
with the New York platform, de-
nouncing this Sherman fraud, and
favoring the complete remonetiza-
ton of silver, placing it on equal
footing with all rights and privileges
of gold, and and carried the State by
AZ 900 majority.

to San Francisco in 1869 and embarked in
the old sporting business, which he con-
tlnued Tor number Of years, until the
authorities became more strict with the
