IUUN BhlttGitt tVLc-
The undersigned propose publishing another volume
Of the Com SIin4sr commencing about the first of

We speak by the book.
The people of the country have elected President
Beyond doubt one branch Of Congress will be OF
complexion to operate with the President 1t now
laws with the people of Indiana to assist IN having
the other branch of the political caste, that all
branches Of our government may operate IN unison
We have all seen and felt the evils arising from df-
farent state of things; and have 1t IN our power
to state that we know Of large number OF our opPo-
nents who have declared their desire to see the whole
administration act together. While we admire these
professions we must be nary. Promises made are
too often violated; and while those of 1910, whote
came is legion, were so little heeded we can remem-
Der also that of that great Mexican Wing, Santa An
aa while in the power of his enemies, and hS ercUe
afterwards made viz "a promise made while IN du-
rance Is void" We must then depend on our orH
strength, and, thank fortune, we have 1t.
Among other issues to be decided at the next Au-
gust election, we may mention
Ist The election of a United States Senator in the
place of A. S. White, whose term expired en- the Sd
of the present month. Shall the State have voice
in the u S. Senate by eectlng democrat 70 act WIN
her present Senator! Or shall 1t be entirely hushed
by electng who will always vote oPPoslngiy and
against the administration This matter Will be
treated at length In the Coon Skinner.
3D. Shall the next legislature, by having a wing
majority, be enabled to extend to the Bank power to
issue shnplasters of small denominations during the
continuance of its charter Or shall We have a mix
ed currency of gold, silver, and 50 notes We can
prove that the Bank makes more out of the people by
those shinplasiers than by any other portion OF her
circulation.
Sd. Supreme Judges are to be elected, and all
averse to e Offices must be that they can only
be abolished by electing Democratic Legislature
While we would intimate nothing against either the
qualifications honor or integrity Of the old Judges
how humiliating it is to suppose that the State Of
Indiana cannot produce their equals

considered Those in favor of them only referred
here to whom and TO what party they are indebted for
the timely relief they have afforded to the honest poor

Inclined we hope to sanction second edition of the
last vile and infamous gerrymanderng Let there be
no Parkcrs and Judahs in the next Assembly.
9th The State Debt. This VIII be of the
subjects earnestly to be considered. Shall we again
place the State in the power of those who have
brought her to her present humiliating position J
Who fattened on plumber derived from the toIllng
sweat and blood of our laboring population! Who
have but to signify their Wing friends desire for
relief from paying their just obligations to the
State, and 10 they are in the councils Of the State
voting in their own favor ! Who that had the
management of the affairs have brought us to be
a bye-word among States and Nations, but is now
rolling in wealth Are they Democrats or Wings :
1t is easier to destroy than to build up If then took
the leading Wings six seven years to ruin
the State, surely it is not asking too much to
desire half of that time to remove the rubbish and
show the progress of operations.
In addition, the Coon Skinner will contqin the
current news of the day, and such selections may
be instructing and amusing.
