IxniANAroLls , August 18. The ousrageoiiF
action of the Sentinel , of this city , in giving
publicity to the vllo charges against the char-
nctor of lilaino's wife nnd the prompt action
of lilaino in calling the management to ac
count therefor , has got the democratic patty
in this state into n peck of trouble. The edi
tor made the charges without consulting nny
of the patty leaders , and the result Is to put
them in n very deep hole. In fact they nre

dorse it in the iaco of Dlaino's suit , nnd of

papers repudiating the whole thing , would
give tha republicans thu bestkind of to.xt to

Heads at the Hoosier democratic head
quarters will bo laid very close together for
thu next few days for the purpose of formulat
ing some means of getting out of tlio scrape
McDonald gives it out told that ho is opposed
to personal abuse in the campaign , that the
Sentinel's attack was disgraceful and should
not have been made , oven if true ; that it puts
the party in a very cmberassing position , and
that as far ns ho can see the only thing is to

nnd apologize. Most of the leaders , however ,
while not caring to stand squarely behind the
Sentinel , are opposed ; to doing the honorable
thing , and hopu to effect n compromise of
soirm sort which will resemble the democratic
tatiff plank , reading one way as a disclaimer
and another way as a reiteration of the charg3.

the leading republicans of Jamestown arrived
hero this morning to escort Senator Log-in to
the city on hia way to Chicago via Cory ,
Moadvillo and Marion. In patsiug through
the outlet the party met n xteamer crowded
with pacsengers who cheered General Logan.
At Jamestown dock ho was met by a post of

party drove to the hotel through streets
packed with paoplo. General Fenton delivered
an address of welcome. Logan responded
briully. There was great applause and waving
of hats nnd handkerchiefs at the close of his
speech. The demonstration was spontaneous
and nnp'rtisan. About onii thousand persons

termed , bis manifesto , has been given to the
public. In it ho says :
To my Constituents : In compliance with
oft repeated inquiries , t hasten to give ac-
account of my stownulsldp of the political in
terests with which I was charged. They vtora
four :
1. Hostility to all monopolies in commerce ,
industries , and lands.
2. The preservation of thp national tender
currency of the people , constitutionally issued
by congresss.
3. Tlie needs of nil men nnd women who

rights of American citizens at homo and
abroad , and to make public servants , individ
ual or incorporate , subxervant to the use and
will of the people only.
These latter were specially confided to mo
by the democratic mostea of Massachusetts.
They were to bo presented to the national
democratic convention for Its acceptance and
adoption aa the axioms of democratic nile as
practised by our futhord.

I had intended that if these great principles
of governmentby the people and for llio

honestly adopted by that convention , to have
permitted my name to bj presented for tlio

which ojso 1 should hnvo baen bound by its

He then gives an account of the netion of
the Chicago convention , t tilting how nil his
measme.s for the protection of the workingman -
man were rejected , and especially his tarilf
plank. Speaking of the plank tint the con
vention did adopt , he pays :
"Then ensued in the committee n struggle
of many hours MO to frame n tariff plank that
should appear to Bay what mine said , nnd yet
not say it , and appear to say to the contrary

Through the courtesy of the chairman of the
committee , and by per.-onal intercession , I ob
tained the boon ot thirty minutes to present
and discuss a charter of the people's righU at
an hour croivdhif ; on midnight , but betoie it
could be printoit and laid before the conven
tion , and with the refusal of the convention to
adjourn until morning before a vote was taken
upon them. So eaijer were llio membei.s to
get at their work of prosidenti.il nomination.
And such n convention has lucn called a
deliberative body !
It is true , that it npent days upon the unit

against his conscience and judgment , In tite | >
of bin protest by others , nnd duys in trying to
' ettlo the interim ! dissensions of the machine
politics nf n hlnglo state ; but it could give
thirty minutes only to the dicucsiim of prin
ciples for the government of the nation. I
therefore could substantially present but ono
plank , the mo.stimpoitant of all , the protec
tion of the Ameiiean laborer and producer ,
which wan \otcd down in the convention by u
vote of 71''i to 1I7.J.

The country has had no exjierionco for
nearly a quarter of a century of what the
democracy would do if they had the power ,
so that the people are obliged to reqniio th < 3
most explicit pledge ! from them of intended
action , bolero wo can put the government in
their hands. 1'ut the farmer and tlio laboring
man do know that a democratic ; IIOIIHO of rep
resentatives has just appropriated moro money
raiM'd by taxation than any other ! IOUH < > of
lepreseiitalivei lias over appropriated in time
of posco. Wo also know that the democratic
majority would have made n free-trade tarilf ,
containing all the odious features of the pres-
put war tarilf , so far us icgirds ln mointtroiu
incminlitics.
A\ lie dots not know that the very fear of
the action of the democracy in congress has so
paralyzed American ontupriMi anil biihinesH ,
that mills are evcrywhoio closing , mines shut
up , furJiucCH blown nut , and avcry kind of em
ployment BO curtailed that the mechnniu and
workingmeii are not earning enough to sup-
poit lifo In comfort , Can the people trimt
democracy with power , upon u deceptive plat

The country IKIH bad experience in republi
can pnity rule twenty-five years , and knoiv its
result'S'o therefmo liuvu no need to look
at its platform , fur "by their iiuitn yo shall
know them. "
HTho republican paitywas foimcd upon n
grand and nohlo iilea , to do for ono class of
workint'inen whut the demoeratiapaity , oven
under .Jefferson and Jackson , had fulled to
do. Their democracy dealt only with the
white man. The democracy of the republican
putty dealt with the blnck man , and nlnn-d
to Rtvo him freedom nnd equal lights. 1'or
that imnxtso and tlmt nlonc , was that pnrt >
formoil. H was the radloo ! party , and

w lug party merged tliemselve. ' In thodemocracy

The necessity for money to carry on the
wnr drew nil the Kankers nnd capitalists into
the republican party. The immense fortune's ,
almost necessarily growing out of the vast ex
penditures of the war , fell into the hamls c f
men who attached themselves to the patty
that fed thorn , as the Iron is attract
ed by the irmcnot , and monopolized industries
and enterprises.
The necessity to bind together the eastcin
nnd v , e torn "lion's of the republic by methods
of quick trmupottatlon , giving reason for
immon o Mibsiilios , granted to ninko three
systems of lailro.tds ncrosi the continent \\ith
all their branches and feedbW , croatiil wealth
in eorporations and individuals , to a degiee
before unheard of , In this or nny other coun
try , and brmight all these Interests sulntin-
ti.illv into the ropubllrnn p.itty. And if any
stayed in the democratic party , they were In
confederation with the sumo class.
ElThus it will readily be seen , nnd ho who
inns may read , that the republican paity is
the party of the monopoly , of corporate Inter
ests in every form of industry , and every do-
p.iitmentof business nnd tinaueo.
The anti-monopolists can expect nothing
from the republic m party.

BTrue , H has in nil Its tarilf legislation claim-
cil'to protect nnd cherish Amerlciin lalKi.rbui
afways only as an adjunct to American calii-
tnl. "Capital chafing under i < \ en a partially
fair dlvUion of its great profits with labor , has
sought to relieve Itself Irom this scant moa-

foreign labor.
Wliy luvo they done this ? Hocause these

ln addition to this imported cheap labor.
and the use of convict labor at n nominal

by which M > great a diaro of moduction Is ef

bor that capitalists have boon enabled to util
ize the labor of women and children to n very
large extent to do that work which men for
merly did. Tims the worklngman'H wife and
siaters are made the instruments of lowering
his own rate of wages. * * * *
XO HOl'K.
The republican party lias granted subsidies
to railroads and stcamshipt * , erected many
and expensive public buildings , spent many
millions hi opening the mouth of the Missis-
slppi and leveeing Its b.inkf , and many mil
lions in improving rivers nnd harbors. These
grants amount to n man equal to half the na
tional debt Without criticKlrig the propriety
of those grants , although some of thorn are.
open to criticism , yet these are all aids to the
capitalist and land owner.
Point me to one grantor net in aid of the
workingman. I do not forget the eight-hour
law for government laborers and mechanics ,
but there never has bacn honesty aud power
enough In republican administration to en
force that law.
When in congress 1 introduced n bill and
advocated it as well as I could that congress
grant aid to families of laboring men in cities
to Hettlo on the public hinds in the west nnd
make homes for themselves , ami as commun
ities bo able to protect themselves ngninst the
Indians nnd thus dispense with the cent of
the army. It slept in the proper committees
