The Democratic Party and it,
Prospects.

Never before, IN the history OF point
zeal parties, was there more unanimity
and hearty good feeling in the ranks of
political party, than now exists among
the Democrats Of Indiana. From all
parts of the state como up the welcome

glorious achievements in the past bid
fair to be eclipsed by the still brighter
future which IS in store for it. Farmers.

and defenders than any other political
party ever did or ever will have. 1t
