the damage incurred by the tenn

torial contest. The Democracy, by
manifesting a disposition to vote for

favorite candidate of the party. only
secured the success of a Republican
who, in all probability, will do their
party as much harm as could have
been inflicted by the caucus nominee
had he been elected.

THAT Lieutenant Governor CUM
BACK has not lost the esteem and
affection Of his neighbors by anything
that transpired in the contest for the
election of U. S. Senator, is apparent
from the demonstration which took
place during a late visit to his home
in Greensburg. He reached home on
Saturday. and in the evening has
friends. and neighbors, with a band of
music, called at hisresidence to man
ifest their sympathy with, and regard
for, him. In response to their calls
he made them a short speech. His
appearance was the signal for hearty
cheers. After thanking the crowd
for the manifestation of their APP
proval and confidence, he gave a his
tory of the Senatorial struggle
through which he had just passed, and
delivered a glowing eulogy upon the
newly elected Senator, Hon. ID. ID.
PRATT, predicting that he would fill
the position with honor to himself
and be the peer of our great states
man, OLIVER 2. MORTON.
He concluded by saying that if
wrong and injustice had denied him a
place in the United States Senate, he
thanked God that this demonstration
convinced him hat no effects of Sian
der or detraciion should prevent his
having a place in the aifectionate re-
gard of his neighbors aud friends,
among whom he has lived sixteen
years.
At the conclusion Of Colonel CUM
BACKS speech, Representative Gil
LEM and Colonel GROVER were called
out. the former corrOborating Mr..
CUMBACK's history of the struggle,
aud the latter assuring him of the
continued confidence of his neigh
bors. We believe the feeling at
Greensburg is very general through
out the State. Mr.. CUMBAoK has not
been fairly dealt with, and the people
are very free in the expression of their
opinion to that effect.

w. j.. DENNIS, of the Richmond
Hun1miag Bird, in the last number
Of that paper speaks as follows ia
reference to the fish law. Any one
who knows anything about fishing
will recognize the truth and force of
his remarks. The repeal of the law
just at this time, when its good effects
are being felt, would be one of the
most foolish things the Assembly
could be guilty of:
We are sorry to notice that some
lunatic member of the Indiana State
Senate, has introduced a bill to repeal
the Fish Law of this State.
We are sorry we have not the name
at hand of this specimen of legislative
stupidity, but we hope the bill may be
sent to the tomb of the CapuletS. Now
that our streams are just beginning to-.
show the great good accomplished by
the law in the abundance of bass,
pickerel, pike aud perch, that have for
two years escaped the piratical attack
of seine fishing, and when even this is
provided for at proper seasons, it
seems to us the folly of madness to re-
peal the sanitary regulations adopted
for the preservation of the finny tribe,
and consign them all, old and young,
to an indiscriminate slaughter. We
call our friends of the Rod and RceJ'
among whom are hundreds of the
ablest and most influential gentlemen
Of the State, to write to their members
and prevent this ruthless attempt to
return to the inhuman and barbarous
practice which has hitherto depleted
our streams and destroyed the repro
duction of this great luxury. Let our
anglers, everywhere, seal the attempt
with their condemnation.

A DISPATCH from Cincinnati to the
Louisville Courier Journal of Satur-
day contains the following rumors in
reference to railroad combinations,
which we give for what it is worth:
This city is becoming the scene Of
extensive railroad rivaIries and enter
prlses. 1t was rumored on the streets
last night that the Pennsylvania Cen
trail Railroad Company were endeav-
orlng to lease the INDIANAPOLIS aud
Cincinnati Railroad. Today it is
said that the negotiations have been
completed, but this is considered
rather premature. The B1liimore
and Ohio Railroad, the rival Of the
Pennsylvania Central, is greatly inter
ested in the matter, and will pre.
vent its accomplishment if possible
Should the Pennsylvania Central sue.

All Honorable Men,

We find the following choice read
log in the State Sentinel of Monday
when such men as Carnahan,
Bird. Hanna, Lee, Lasselle, Sherrod,
Coffroth, Williams, McFadin, and
others, all wheel horses in the Demo-
cratic ranks, can so far overlook the
political offenses of Judge Hughes as
to publicly acknowledge their indebt-
edness to him for his bold, manly,
and able =indication of the right, we
may feel assured that the bitterness
of party defeat Is passing away, and
that the wise eounsels of the past,
that so long maintained the ascend
ency of the grand old party, whose
history is so full Of proud and glo-
Tious recollections, will again prevail.
The experience of the past few days
presents the evidence that the same
spirit which led the party to victory
heretofore will again animate anc
control it, and no doubt with the
same success that has attended it."
The modification which the Demo
cratic members of the Legislature
naturally feel, in being made subser.
Went to Mr.. JAMES HUGHEs's am
bilious schemes, needs a salve of
some kind, and the Sentinel attempts
to furnish it in the form of the para
graph above. Look at the illustrious
nlmesl CARNAHAN, BIRD, HANNA,
LAssALLE, SHERRoD, and CoFFRoTH,
all of whom are known as I'M
serupulous and traficing politicians
throughout the length and breadth of
the State. The idea that these men
voted for HUGHES for his bold,
manly and able vindication of the
right" is the extreme of a~bsurdity.
But the Sentinel had another object
in view, in thus complimenting the
purchased Democrats who transferred
themselves before the consideration
was fully provided for. We think
that second object may be found in
another paragraph in the same paper.
Ia commenting .on the character of
the Eighth District, politically, the
Sentinel says of the canvass last year:
The majority for Mr.. Pratt was
2,287. In 1866, the Radical MAORI
lies in the same counties footed up to
1903. With all the advantages Of a
popular candidate and every induce
ment to bring put a large vote, the
Radical majority was cut down over
1,3OO votes. If the Republicans
should get into a sharp contest over
the nomination, it may engender such
bad blood that an Independent Re
publican or Democratic candidate
may have a show for success. Sucb
results have been accomplished in dis
tricts with even a larger majority than
the Eighth.
So the Democracy of the Eighth
District are exhorted in advance to
abandon their organization and sup
port some independent Republican.
We rather like this confession of
weakness on the part of the Sentinel.
Heretofore the successes of the Dem
ocratic party have all been won by
rigid adherence to the party organi-
cation. Defeated once, the party
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1869-01-27


THE Logansport Journal, publish
ed at the home of Mr.. PRATT, thus
speaks of his election to the Senate /:
Mr.. Pratt was not a candidate for
the position. His nomination by the
Republican caucus was solicited or
suggested, neither by himself nor at
his instance. He had been hOnored
by an election to the lower branch in
Congress, and was ambitious only to
discharge his duties there a~cceptably
to his constituents. He will accept
the latter and greater honor, with the
determination that no effort on his
part shall be wanting to justify the
confidence expressed by the Republi-
cans in the Legislature IN his capacity,
and his fidelity to'the great principles
advocated by his party.
