Alexander F. Morrison.

The impudence of A. F. Morrison is certainly with
parallel. At meeting of the Democrats of the
General Assembly held on Saturday night to make
some arrangements preliminary to the State Conyen-
ton be held The 6th 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 his appointment as such delegate
in the face of this, say, A F. Morrison had the
impudence TO crowd himself forward at the meeting
spoken of and after whining and canting to an indei
finite extent, actually got himself appointed cer-
tain committee This is certainly an outrage, and
will be regarded by the of the Democracy of
this county. We know that Morrison's impudence
in thus thursting himself where he had business,
was tolerated by many well meaning men through a
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 an empty
farce And there is not an old Democrat in the LIE.
pislature 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 anti-democfat; and looks on
politics as a mere trade, and means of working
himself and family into Office. His immediate object
in thrustng himself into the meeting spoken OF, and
into the State Convention (Which no doubt he will
attempt to do though in opposition to nineynne 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, indivd-
ualIy or collectively as occasion may require. Now
we can tell the Democrats who do not already know
it. that A. F. Morrison has personal nor political
influence in this county, where be is best known.
He rs regarded, in fact he is, mere political loaf

AuDaher Mistake.

The Bank President, in his protocol manifesto,
which appeared in the Family Organ of Dec. 49,
says In relation to his election to the Presidency Of
the Bank that the Sentinel, at least after the cleo
tion, made approving response to his election, AMI
THAT AS DEMOCRAT -
Now we 'positiuely deny" that we did any such
thing, and we challenge - the Bank autocrat to
the proof"
What the State Sentinel vcuching 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 abso-
lutely laugha6le, We should as soon think Of en-
dorsing the democracy of the Autocrat of Russia
himself The truth is, there is not a more per-
feet drtSocrut, in the most obnoxious sense of the
term, in the whole State of Indiana, than James
Morrison; and such we alrdys regarded him. His
aristocratic notions are superlatve that he can
smile upon no one not enno6led by his royal
blood and if he tries to do so, the attempt absolute
ly dies away in a half contemptuous shipper That
the State Sentinel whose sympathies are all radically
democratic, should be charged with endorsing such
mans democracy, is as absurd it is untrue. 1t
never did it. 1t is true it alluded in rather eomp-
mentary terms 10 Morrlsons talents, AFTER MS eec-
ton; but it said nothing about his democracy. 1t
said this, and this only:
From the State Sentinel Jan. a, 1874
"BANx PRESIDENT. 1t will be seen by the Legis-
lative proceedings that JAMES MORRISON, Esq, has
been elected President of the State Bank Of the
ability and talents of Judge NJ no one entertains
doubt and if he retrieve that institution
from Its present deplorabe condition, he will deserve
the thanks of the community. The whole of its rot
ten carcass must be examined however foul it may
be. The people expect it,-nay, demand it; and
we believe James Morrison will not disappoint them
Be it it may, we hope he will prove himself equal
to the task and it is one from which he should not
finch"
Here then, is another question of veracty, for the
passionate President to SETTLE We need not say, by
the way, that favorable hopes then expressed,
have been entirely disappointed.

The PHbuic Debt.

The Joint Committee on the Public Debt, to whom
Mr.. Buffers communication referred on Saturday
last reported to each branch Of the General Assembly
" bin TO proride for the funded debt Of the State d
Indiana, and for the compilations Of the Wabash ana
Erie Canal TO Eransrile; - which was read frs
and second time laid the table, and ordered to be
printed.
This may be regarded as the great measure of the
session. The public debt has been so long a vexed
question: has been so long an eye-sore to every
good citizen,-a and it had grown into SO large a
mountain by the accumulation of interest, that il
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 so 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.
should encourage and cheer the hearts of citi-
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 labors will
have been in vain the present and future gene
ration will accord to them honor and praise. No
good man now on the stage would desire to have this
huge public debt thrown upon his children, to
crush their young enterprise and stain their character
Every desire to have it adjusted, if it can
be on terms within ability, and at the time
satisfactory TO creditors.
In the House the bill is accompanied by very
able report from Mr. Secrest Of the committee which
we shall endeavor to lay before our readers.
We INDULGE the hope that the subject will be sat
adjusted by this General Assembly, and
that they will lay the people by its action under ever
lasting gratitude.

and disorganizer and has been no better for the
last four or five years to own knowledge. The
universal sentiment here has for long time been
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 leader; but they had too much sense
to do that, and so he remains a 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 has rings and neutral
ze his power of mischief. He 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 supplant Bolton
He repeated it when he made arrangcme nts TO SUD-
plant Col. Knnard in the same way. He has prac-
tised it in a 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 fain give another exhibition of his
peculiar talents In the same way, by supplantng 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 toedk enough to be longer ca
joed by the whimperng, whining, canting hypocrisy
of such MANI IF they are, not. He talks
about his paltry apology for newspaper which was
heralded by such a flourish of transforms, and en-
deavors to convey the false impression that we or
somebody else disposed throw obstacles in its
way. We have many times denied this humbugging
pretence. We as little about his miserable sheet
any live man can do. He cannot interfere with
us in business point Of view, nor with the honest
people who choose to take paper. We are just
as willing he should publish his paper as we are that
Mr.. Hatch of the Spectator should publish that, or
Mr.. Noel the Journal. We care nothing about him
or his paper in business aspect. But we do care
about it in political one, and is duty speak
out. He is and nr Be the tool Of any clique that ,eR

false to common honesty, and false to the integrity
and the principles of the Democratic party, if we
should degrade ourselves enough coaesce with such
wretch. Sooner than do so, if that is the only al
tentative presented, will withdraw from politics.

OErThe State Journal of January 5, 1916, fully
endorses the State Bank in these words:
"The condition of the Bank is sound beyond all
controversy"
This is a committal worthy Of notice and remem-
brance. Every democrat who can get, should pre-
serve copy of the Journal containing it. 1t will be
needed hereafter.

or Morrison speaks about our not being able to
go into respectable company. If We had his brass,
we might be like him; proving around and forcing
ourselves into members and other places where
were not wanted whining most pteously for Office
We might also carry brazen front on all occasions.
We can, however, get into company whose respecta-
biliy is guaged by the amount Of plumber directly
and indirectly got without labor, and by the amount
of debts we owe. We prefer to labor while we owe
