tinuaton Of the small note privilege TO the Bank
and he denied that he had made any such I" re-
commentator "
We denied that we had made any such statement,
and defed him to. the proof.
He has hunted through files, and finally produ-
ces the following extract from chapter WILL of the
" Political Mysteries by which he iatters himself
he can sustain his impeached veracty, to wit:
Mr.. Morrison, last winter, proposed to extend to
Z" the bank the right to issue small notes to the
" amount of million of dollars, during the life OF
+" the charter
Morrison processes willingness to rest the issue on

is not word in it to sustain his untrue declaration

denying, so that he could TO npeach veraci

initial position.
We said nothing about recommending" in the
extract quoted We saw that his Royal Highness
chose rather make himself the =" rehcle - of the
directory in merely "proposing," what he had not
the manliness to recommend. Does he pretend to
deny that he made such a proposition II he does,
he necessarily discredt his report of last year.
and belle his report of this We have copied these
reports often enough initiate readers into their
mysteries in these respects and certainly no reader
can have forgotten the peculiar expressions made by
his Lordship in his report of this year, for in-
stance the undersigned James Morrison was
made the rehice of REQUESTING from the last General
Assembly continuation of the privilege of issuing
notes of a less denomination than five dollars, a
permanent privilege during the life of the charter y
" and although he has not been expressly requested to
renew the application made at the last session, yet
he nos the board would be gratied to have the priv

We cannot suppose any Of our readers so deficient
penetration. to be unable to that Morrison
has been compelled in this to resort to the small
est kind Of quibbing TO sustain his assertion and
certainly his attitude is discreditabe enough without
any lights and shadows from us to bring its contemp-
tible points to fuller view.
If he had gained his point, however he would only
have degraded himself still further; for as we have
before observed
If his posiiire denial now, of being in favor Of a
continuance of that privilege for he this if
he honestly means any thing is to be taken for his

and disorganzer, and has been no better for the
last four or five years to own knowledge. The
universal sentiment here has for long time been a
wish to get rid of him, and hope that he would Join
the wings, with whom he naturally belongs This
he would have done long ago. if they would have
taken him a leader; but they had too much sense
to do that, and he remains nominal democrat,
ready to ruin at any moment if he cannot still rule
and get the pay for ruling. Now the true way to
treat such person is to CLIP his uiags and neutral
ze his power OF mischief lie has been suffered to
to brow-beat his way among democrats long enough.
He began it when he got his first three thousand dol
lars to start paper by which to suppant Bolton
He repeated it when he made arrangements to suo-
plant Col. Einnard in the way He has prac-
tised it in thousand other examples since those
days revealed by of it in fat Indian contracts
and canal management; received money enough to
have made half dozen prudent men independent
and now would fam give us another exhibition of his
peculiar talents in the way, by suppanting the
State Sentinel the only remaining chance of thrust
ing himself once more into office against the well
known wishes of the people. The question is wheth-
er the Democracy freak enough to be longer ca
joled by the whimpering, whining cantiny hypocrisy
of such man! If they are, ,ce are not. He talks
about his paltry apology for newspaper which was
heralded by such flourish of -horns and en-
deavors to convey the false impression that we or
somebody else disposed to throw obstacles in its
way. We have many times denied this humbugging
pretence We little about his miserable sheet
as any live man can do. He cannot interfere with
us in a business point of view, nor with the honest
people who choose to take paper. We are just
as illing he should publish his paper that
Mr.. Hatch Of the Spectator should publish that,
Mr.. Noel the Journal. We care nothing about him
or his paper in business aspect. But do care
about it in a political one and it is duty speak
out He is and uiH be the tool Of ang clique that riH
pan him BEST and 1ciH IN the end cheat them all If he
can This is the whole sum and substance of A. F.
Morrison We should therefore be false to ourselves
false to common honesty, and false to the integrity
and the principles of the Democratic party, if we
should degrade ourselves enough to coaesce with such
wretch Sooner than do So if that is the only al
tentative presented, we will withdraw from politics,
and leave the fed TO him and such permit
themselves to swell the ranks of such leader.

Alexander r. Morrison.

The lmpudcnce Of A. T. Morrison is certainly with
out parallel. At meeting of the Democrats Of the
General Assembly held on Saturday night TO make
some arrangements preliminary to the State Conven-
ton to be held the Sth, Morrison present, and
though the Democratic County Convention of Marion
County absolutely refused TO appoint him delegate
to the State Convention notwithstanding his brother
strongly urged bis appointment such delegate
in the face of this, We say A. F. Morrison had the
impudencc to crowd himself forward at the meeting
spoken of, and after whining and canting to an INDIE
finite extent actually got himself appointed a
tain committee This is certainly an outrage and
will tc so regarded by the of the Democracy of
this county. We know that MorrsonS impudence
in thus bursting himself where he had business,
was tolerated by many well meaning men through
desire for harmony and union but this Is the poor
est way in the world TO secure IT, Harmony and
union without the cement of principle is empty
farce And there is not an old Democrat in the Lee
gslature who does not know that Morrison has no
principles in common with honest Democrats. With
him democracy consists in mere empty professions.
He is practically antl-democrat; and looks on
politics a mere trade, and a means of working
himself and family into office. His immediate object
in thursting himself into the meeting spoken of, and
into the State Convention (Which no doubt he viii
attempt to do, though in opposition TO ninety nine of
every hundred democrats in this county, is TO get
the endorsement Of the Democratic party for his pa
per. With this he can strengthen himself as he sup
poses, before the people, and having obtained strength
he will use it TO promote his own selfish ends, by
threatening to it against the democracy ndivid-
ually collectively the may require. Now

The Public Debt.

The Joint Committee on the Public Debt, TO whom
Mr. Buffers communication was referred, on Saturday
last reported to each branch of the General Assembly
A bill to proride fo, the f4nded dot Of the State 81
Indiana, cnd for the COR petton Of the Wabash and
Erie Canal to ErauSriae;'' which read first
and second time laid the table, and ordered to be
printed.
This may be regarded the great measure Of the
session. The public debt has been so long vexed
question,-t has been so long eye>sore to every
good ctizen,-a and it had grown into SO large a
mountain by the accumulation of interest, that ii
seemed beyond the reach almost Of the energies OF
our people. great those energies are. To see a
bill reported by the unanimous consent of large
committee, representing every judicial circuit In the
State and composed equally of Democrats and Wings,
for the settlement of this great public debt is, to say
the least of it, what hardly dared to hope for 1t
should encourage and cheer the hearts of our cltl-
zens.
The labors of the committee have been arduous
beyond the conception of any one not In situation
to Judge Of them and if the result shall be the pas
sage of the bill reported by them their abors viii
not have been in vain the present and future gene
ration will accord to them honor and praise No
good man now the stage would desire to have this
huge public debt thrown over upon his children, to
crush their young enterprise and stain their character
Every one must desire to have it adj usted if it
be on terms within our ability, and at the time
satisfactory 70 our cred tors.
In the House the bill is accompanied by very
able report from Mr. SecreSt of the committee, which
we shall endeavor to lay before readers.
We indulge the hope that the subject will be sat-
isfactorily adjusted by this General Assembly, and
that they will lay the people by its action under
lasting gratitude.

house of i'll fame. He may be well acquainted with
her; but we hereby offer reward of one hundred
dollars to any person who will show that we ever
spoke to her, any person III her house, or ever

pied by her. Now let the liar produce his proof.

Another Mistake.

which appeared in the Family Organ of Dec 10
says IN relation to his election to the Presidency oil
the Bank, that he Sentinel, at least after the eec-
tion made approving response to his election, AMI
THAT TOO AS A DEMOCRAT"
Now we "positirely deny that did any such
thing, and we challenge y the Bank autocrat " tc
the proof. ~
What the State Sentinel vouching for the Democ-
racy of James Morrison However friendly in per-
sonal respects might under ordinary circumstances
be with him. our consciences must be harder than
iron to do any such thing Why the idea is ALSO
lutey laushable, We should as think Of en-
dorsing the democracy of the Autocrat Of Russia
himself The truth Is, there is not a per-
feet aristocrat, in the obnoxious Of the
term, in the whole State of Indiana, than James
Morrison; and such arrays regarded him. His
aristocratic notions superlatlve that he can
smile upon one not ENROLLED by his own royal
blood and if he tries TO do so, the attempt absolute
~ dies away in half contemptuous simPer That
the State Sentinel whose sympathies all radically
democratic, should be charged with endorsing such a
mans democracy. is as absurd it is untrue. 1t
never did it, 1t is true it alluded in rather compi-
mentary terms Morrison's talents, after his cleo
ton; - but it said nothing about his democracy. 1t

From the State Sentinel, Jan. 4, 1911
sBANx PREsIDENT.-It viii be seen by the Legis-
atye proceedings, that JAMES MORRISON, Esq, has
been elected President of the State Bank. OF the
ability and talents Of Judge VI. one entertalns a
doubt and if he retrieve that institution
from It's present deplorabe condition, he Will deserve
the thanks of the community. The whole of It's rot
ten carcass must be examined, however foul it may
be- The people expect it,-nay, dcmond it and
we believe James Morrison will not disappoint them
BE it it may, hope he will prove himself equal
to the task and it is one from which he should not
finch"
Here them is another question of veracy, for the
the way, that our favorable hopes then expressed,
have been entirely disappointed.

OF Morrison has paragraph against US, embo-
dying every BLACKBOARD cpithet in the vocabulary
places himself above us and winds up by repeating
the old charge of perjury. The gambling rascal may
ring his changes on that till all is blue; well as
have many of his whig associates; but we were
never convicted of it, the cause brought
to trial although urged it at three different courts,
the whole court and parties being glad aud willing to
let it drop. This matter, which arose out of the
political excitement of 1910, may answer such fell
lows Morrison to harp upon; but conscience
is clean, not only of that but of trading an blankets,
or of stealing money at the gaming table and hiding
it in our boot.
