J.- Mllteu turner, of St. Iiiuls, who Is sued tbe call for the recent colored Demo cratic convention at Indianapolis, In tbe course of a conversation with the Wash ington correspondent of the New Yerk Herald en Saturday asld : We Intend te prove the significance and power of tbe negre vote et this country by contributing our share te tbe oarryleg of Indiana for Cleveland and Thurmae. In that state there la alresdy a disaffection of from 3,000 1 000 negre voters definitely reported. 'In the steta otilUlneislat laast one-fourth or tee1' 25,000 negre - voters will vote for Cleveland and Tburman. Iu that stats tbe persanal popularity of General Palmer, the Dtmnoratle eandldate for gov ernor, and of President Cleveland are making surprising Inresds upon the negre vote.

Mr. Blaine has announced that. false hood and misrepresentation are te be the corner-stenea et the Republican campaign. Free trade bas nothing te de with tbe campaign, the question simply being that the tariff reform, which baa long been advecated by Oarheld, Grant and Arthur, and even by Blaine himself. Tbe Republi can party bas no abiding principles, but bas entered en a buahwaokleg expedition for offlee and piwer. Tbe candidate whom they nominated at Chicago has been shelved, and,Blalne la their leader, and abenld they succeed would be their de facto president. Mr. Bidder brand as false and Insincere the cry that Irian-American citizens have been alaves of tbe Demoeratla party, and declares that Irlsh-Amerlcsu voters are In telligent ; that they knew their friends and will stick te them, and will net permit any blatant, mercenary "patriot" et the pro fessional type te lead them ever blindfolded te their enemies. Such types of ' pitrlets" failed in 1884, and will be equally unsuc cessful In 1888. la Nellie Park, Ashevllle.Nerth Carellns, yesterday morning Senators Voerbees and Butler addressed a Democratic gathering of 3,000 people, lneludlng many ladles.

He preached two sermons In Qnldsboreugh, North Carellns, last Sundsy, and delivered three Sunday school addresses In tbe same city. Upeu his return he was seen by a reporter. The conver-atlen took a political turn. Bishop Thompson said tbe colored people of tbe Siutli bad la a large measure toraaken tbe U. Q P. Se far as be could learn, the colored people would largely support Cleveland and Thurinau. lie said the oelorod people bad outgrown the fear that was preached Inte them four years age. And tbst the poverty and misery that was then predicted for the ex-slaves by tbe Re publicans was new known te bs only a acara The bishop said that President Cleveland had made a splendid record, and Instead of making life miserable for tbe old slsvea of the Seuth, as the Repub licans tried te make thorn believe be would, be bad done everything he oenld te assist them. And, with a significant wink and smile, tbe bishop added : " And you'll find plenty of our -people In tbe North here wbe will support Cleveland and Tbnrman. " Leu Debbins, the well known hotel man et East Lteertv, Ohie, wbe has been a atauneh Republican for tblrty-tlve years, together with his two sons, oeinta out squarely for Cleveland, Tburman and tariff roierm. Ha sava tbe Republican psriy bsa beoeme se Infected with monopolists, fraud and deceit as te disgust any reasoning man. Mr. Debbins, several years age, waa a worker In tbe rolling mills at Hharen, P-., and saya that be falls te aee where tbe tariff benefits tbe werklngmen.

Pa., says Mr. Nathan Fell, ei Greene township, one of the most influential farmers of Mereer oeunty and alway a stauneb Republican, baa come out for Olevelaud and lour roan. Mr. Fell Is one of the most extensive wool growers In western Pennsylvania, and be holds that free wool will have a tendency te nearly double thepreaent price, citing for tbls belief tbe "limns of long age" It might be well te slate here that most all tbe Democratic farmers whose mun-s have been sent out aa Hoppers Ui Harrison Indignantly deny tbe stories and aay tbe flops originated in the fertile brain of correspondents wbe are belnu ntld double space rates ler aueb newr. Yesterday a local paper announced that ex-County Commissioner Hoagland and bis five sons had Joined tba Hsrrlsen forces. Mr. eem ueagiana iai evening denied tbe story and save net one of them baa left tbe party of tariff reform. McKean oeunty will give a geed account of bcrself this fall, and will be something strange if Cleveland and Thurmandonet carry It.

Ha did this in spite of the fact tbat net one of tbe articles which be mentioned, exeept tobaeco, Is Imported se aa te compete with the products et our ewa farms. He did this In spite el tba fact tbat agricultural prod net a constitute 72.8 per cent, of our entire expert trade. As Mr. Landla' essay was given te tha public through tba columns et thNtu Kra, which euinuienued it as a "vary excellent psr," wedeemed Ita fair aubjtct of oritl-el.m- In the course of tbat or It ids m wa aald : Other gnat defender of proteettoa bave denied tbat tha duty la avar added e tba price, save In rare easea, even of man ufactured prodeetat but Mr. Landla knewa better." And new, beheld I after Ave days have passed a war, and everyone baa laughed at Ita "very excellent paper" aa one of the silliest things nl tbe slliy season, Isughed at It and rorgetten It here comes tba editor of tba NtwXra, In a long, and labored editorial, te prove tha truth of tbla vary atatemenl I Dissgraslag in tete with his friend, tba Maner statesman, he quota a leag list et what be eslla "the faeis and figures" In order te support hia denial tbat "tba duty Is ever added te the price, aave In rare eaaea, even of manufactured pro duct." But Mr. Lsndls maintained tbat they were added te the last penny, even en arodueta which we never Impert, but whleh we annually expert te tbe value et ajutn ene non I When doctors disagree, wbe nail decide?" luia piup.islilen of Mr. Landla tha Neu Kra characterize as "the theory revamped by Cleveland tbat the prlee of the domeatle produet Is Inereased by exaetly tbe amount of tbe duty," and itthlnka tbat we presumed thst "tbe farmers are aueb feels as net te see through this exploded rellnef freetrade sophistry I" When Mr. Landla malutalned "tbat the price of tbe domeatle produet Is Jnereased by exsetly tbe amount of duty" In bis "very excellent "paper," did be de It "en the presumption that the farmers are aueh feels as net te see through this ex ex pledsd relle of free trsde sophistry"? Truly the New Kra't attempt te "hoodoo" Jno. U. Landla for showing bow a protec tive tariff affects the Interests of tbe Lin caster county farmer Is much mere savag than anytblng we have yet seen. We quoted the extract from Mr. Turner's speech simply te show tbst even If Mr. Landla' premises were correct, the farmer lest mere tbsn be gained. Instead of Mr. Turner's elaborating tue president's "cue In hia free trade meessge," be delivered the speech from whleh we quoted fully two years before Mr. Cleveland took bis seat la tbe presidential ehalr. Ner Is President Cleveland entitled te all the eredlt the New JSra give blm. Hen. Jehn Hberman, In a speech la the Senate, In 1607, aald i "Every duty en Imported meruhandlae glvea te tbe domeatle manufacturer an advantage equal te 'the duty, and te tbat ex tent every duty la a protective duty." Pre Ident Grant In bis annual message In 1876, In reoemmendlng a reduction of tariff bur dens and an enlargement of tbe free Hat, said : " I would irentlen these articles whleh enter Inte manufactures of all aorta. All duty paid ou aueh articles gees direct te the cost of tbe artlele manufactured here and must be paid for by tbecoeaumer. These duties net only come from- tbe con sumers at borne, but act as a protection te fmeiirn mnneturesln our own and dis tant markets." 'similar recommendations were made by Vice President Wilsen, by Secretary Mo Me Mo Calleob, and by both President Oarheld and President Arthur. Te say the least of It therefore, "tbls exploded relle of free trade sophistry" seems te rest upon very respectable Republican authority. The New Kra can only question by in in uende tbe accuracy of Mr, Turner's facta and figure, for It it did ae epenly every farmer wbe peasesses a oepy et our preaent tariff lawa would oenvlot It atones. On tbe ether hand, what It calls "the aetual facta anil figures" rest upon no authority whatever. if tbey possess a parent, the New JCra seems ashamed te tell Ita readera wbe be 1.

Tbe further faet that they are quoted with app'ebatlnn tn tbe editorial uelumn et the New Era Is In Itself sufficient te cast the strongest kind Of su-ploien upon their accuracy.
