GEN. HARRISON ON THE LAW OF 1885

Now that Governor Matthews is franz
ing an answer to the memorial of the
Republican State committee requesting
him to call special session of the Legis-
lature, the Journal would call his at
tention to an extract from a speech of
General Harrison delivered in this, city
Sept. Is. 1886. 1t is only a portion of
what he said in relation to the appor-
tionment of 1885, but it is enough to
show that he regarded it as destructive
of popular government. The extract is
as follows:
1t is fortunate, / think, that we have in
this campaign some matters of absorbing
State interest to be considered. And first
among these in Importance and urgency is
the question OF recovering to the majority
of our people their equal political infiu-
ence. The duty of dividing the State into
suitable districts for the election of men,
bers Of the state legislature devolved
Democratic in both branches. In the pre-
tended discharge of this duty laws were
tive purposes. These were not the result
of an honest effort to deal justly by the
people and TO preserve. as far might be.
the equal influence Of every voter; but are
The requirements of the Constitution,
which the members had sworn to support,
were absolutely d1Sregarded. Tne title or
the legislative apportionment BILL if it
were given an honest name, would have
read: An act to enable a Democratic
minority of the voters of Indiana to make
its laws and to choose United States
Senator. 1t was intended to take such
odds that the party might hold its power
against a revolt in its own ranks.
General Harrison followed with an
array of figures showing the injustice of
the apportionment act of 1885. and closed
his analysis with the following words:
1 know that absolute equality of repre-
sentation is not attainable-some unrepre-
scented fractions are unavoidable-but that
law shows deliberate and ingenious study
and contrivance. The problem given was
TO reduce the influence of the non-DemO-
cratic voter to the smallest possible value.
There is not honest Democrat i'm In
diana who will say that the appQrtonment
is fair, or who believes that any thought
of fairness entered into it's construction.
1t rs scarcely possible that Governor
Matthews will undertake to defend the
gerrylnander of 1885 as a fair apportion-
ment; nor will he deny that the Supreme
Court has made a decision, the reasoning
of which, if applied to that act would re-
suit in its being declared unconstitu-
tional. Will he so far forget his duty and
his oath of office as to cause the revival
of statute which is an outrage upon
the fundamental principle of popular
government and in violation of the Con-
stitution of the State? When he refuses
to call the Legislature together to pass
a new apportionment act he re-enacts
the outrageous and unconstitutional ap-
portionment of 1885.

A Hapny Surnrise.

We have the pleasure of chron-
telling another happy event which
occurred on Thursday, Aug. @.
On the above date the friends
and neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel w. Harsh to the number
of 100 met together to celebrate the
33rd anniversary of their marriage.
1t was admirably planned and
successfully carried out by Mr..
Jerome Shaw and ID. Il. Harsh to
surprise Mr.. Harsh and his good
wife and it was complete success.
Mr.. Harsh was so surprised that
he couldn't find his way out of the
house and in his meanderings got
up stairs and looked out of the
window wondering what it all
meant; but he soon recovered his
equilibrium and came down and
gave all hearty welcome.
Mrs. Harsh proved to be brav-
or soldier than Mr.. Harsh for she
did not run, but bravely faced the
multitude and bid them all
hearty welcome.
The first thing on the program
was the spreading of the dinner
which was done by first erecting
a table out in the yard under the
trees, and Oh, dear! the nice things
that were laid before the hungry
ones. Well, we will just say that
all did ample justice to the good
things.
After dinner the time was spent
in various ways, among other
things was an old fashioned scre-
made with various kinds of instru-
ments of music, such rs tin pans,
horns, and the like.
Next in order was speeches of
congratulation; among the speak
ers was Squire f. F. Martin of
Ewing, Squire /. Y. Hartzell of
Starr tp., Mr.. John Hansel, of Ew-
ing, Squire Il. Shultz, w. II. Funk,
j. r. Shaw and ID. Il. Harsh of Cal
leo Ridge.
Some very fine music was given
on the violin and guitar by Mr.. Q.
F. Reinstettle and wife and Clem
Harden.
When the shades of evening be-
gan to approach, the guests after
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Harsh the
return of many more anniversa-
ries, departed for their homes.
