ANOTHER CHArrER.-Thc following remarks We
copy from the Indiana Record, of Feb 10. It, cdi-
tor Is the only among the Wing editors in this
State, who has the boldness manliness courage and
honesty, to advocate whg principles above board
and openly. Such an opponent we can respect +;
and such a course shows. at least that he who adj

just. Let his wing contemporaries take lesson
from his honesty, and no longer attempt to deceive
the people Let them show their true colors, aud

The WING ADDREss.-We published last week
the address adopted at meeting of the Wing mem
bers OF the Legislature, TO the wings of Indiana.
The address stated at the time, was written
by Mr. Barnett, the new editor of the Indiaaa
Journal 1t abounds IN eloquent passages, nicely
rounded periods, and stirring appeals 20 the spirit
of 1910. Candor, however, compels US TO cay that

principles OF the wing party, and il would have been
vastly more to the interest Of the Chjg parfy, ii IL

and good Harrison is dead, and il impossible that
the wing party can triumph upon his popularity.
