HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE:

AlpNON Az VuOM IONOn 10 Due:
The Republican published dis
patch from Indiana which stated
that the Legislature of that State
js Liberal Republican. This il an
error. No Liberal Republican was
allowed to run for the Legislature
on the Democratic ticket in that
State in any county or district
where there was the remotest
chance Of success. What is proba-
bly, meant by the dispatch is that
there are some Republicans elect
ed who, by reason Of their personal
hostility to Senator Morton, cannot
be relied on to vote for his rc-elec-
ton. No one doubts that Morton
will receive the caucus nomination,
for bis great ability as statesm an
and his unsverving fidelity to the
principles of the Republican party.
Ever since he went to the Senate,
he has held place in the front
rank of the sblest men in that body,
That he achieved so marked cue
cess there was o matter CT wonder
to those who know that prior to
his election to the Senate, he had
never been q member OF any par
liamentary body. His great ex-
ecutive ability had been Developed
and exhibited when he was Cover

ulsr orator was alsor established,
but many If his warmest friends
and admirers we're inclined to be-

oecupy a secondary position among

strengthened by . considerable disaffec-
ton in our own ranks, which seemed to
take from US even the chance of success.
But confident OF the justice OF our cause
and animated by our trlumphs in the
past, We entered upon the canvass with
the determination to wrest victory from
our opponents fit could he accomplished

fight OF the Indiana Democrats was
not so much against Grant rs

accepting the nomination for Gov
ernor, Hendricks declared that the
issue was personal issue against
Morton, rather than against the
President and the Republican par
ty. This keynote of the Demo-
cratic campaign was sounded alolg
the whole line, and the Democratic
orators and press of Indiana and
other States began to assail Nor
toms private character In a style
unparalleled in the annals Of politi-
cal warfare. Ignoring all these at

this; that although he does not believe

result of the vote would be in favor Of

about the result Of the vote next Mo-

promptly met, without argument, with
