OUR NEXT SENATOR.
SPIRIT OF THE INDIANA PRESS

N DoNALD THE
From The Vincennes SunJ
The Hon. Wm. S. Holman is reported as
saying that he is not, nor would he be, a.
candidate for senator.
From the Bloomfield Democrat1
We are not for voorhees,. but should he
be elected we think we can still live and
breathe, and have our being, and act with
the good old time honored democratic
party.
[From the New Albany Ledger Standard
Neither the Cincinnati Enquirer or any of
its correspondents nave nominated another
candidate in Indiana for United States sena-
tor for several days. What are We to thinks?
Has the supply run out.
From the vincennes Sun.l
Tn extracts from different papers pub
lisbed in the Sentinel regarding the sena-
torial race should be. as the Evansville Jour-
nal remarks, styled "Puffs for McDon-
aid" instead of Opinions of the Indiana
Press"
From the Lafayette JouTnal.l
Tn Indianapolis Herald is credited with
the suggestion to the democrats of Bavless
w. Hanna as a good COMPROMISED man for
senator. That won't do, at all. Bayless is
altogether too near VOORHEES, for 4 compro-
miss candidate.
From the Cannelton EnquIrer.l
d. w. Voorhees, may have a great deal of
personal magnetism about him, and be yery
pleasing to the Initiation democracy of In
diana, but looking c3refulIy to the future
usefulness of the party, ia the language of
Daniel Webster, without the Voorhees,. he
would not be a safe counsellor in the affairs
of the nation.
From the Indianapolis Sunday Herald.l
1t is rumored in newspaper circles that
some OF the Hon. Daniel w. Voorhees,
mnneyed friends in Terre Haute have
bought an interest in the Globe, of this civ.
IN ordef that the Tall Sycamore may have
an organ at the capital. 1t is saids that they
have contributed 50 5000 in cash to float the
concern.
From the North Vernon SUM-
Nearly all our republican exchanges favor
the election of Dan Voorhees, for United
States senator, thus betraying a weakness of
still clinging to the representatives of the
~salary-grab, sired by the party and damn'd
by all honest thinking men. We say let
Daniel a a back seat. 1t is time for sala-
ry grabbers to step down and out.
From the Seymour Democrat.1
Did our party do right in condemning the
salary grab? If it did will it be right tor
the party to elect a man to the United States
Senate who voted for the grab, and took it.
and attempts now to justify the action?
Should the legislature elect voorhees, TO
that office we could not carry the state in
1876, and we oughtn't to. Saiary-Srabbers
must take back seats.
From the Goshen Democrat
Dan VOORHEES, is recommended by the re-
publican press as the democratic candidate
for United States senator. No doubt these
gentlemen are very anxious that Dan
O10,1I Ha tho Npotr ,,o, - A..
anti war democrat and a salary graober, |
they could howl loud and long for the Dext
two years about our recreancy to pledges
and principles.
From the Laporte August
There is no doubt that a large majority of
the democratic newspapers of the state favor
the election of Joseph e. Med nald to the
United States Senate. Voorhees,. Holman
and others have their their supporters. and
some of them are neither quiet nor back
ward in their advocacy of their respective |
favorites, but if the sentiments of the people
can be judged by the press, Mcdonald is
their choice, and most likely he is the COM
ing man.
From the Laporte August
The crop OF aspirauts for the United States
senatorship from this state is growing larger
every day. 1t is certain that several of the
poor fellows will not get a single vote, be-
cause the number Of candidates exceeds the
number of legislators. 1t should not sur
prise our readers if all the leading candi-
dates are dropped and a compromise man
taken up and elected. II NJ. C.. Kerr should
make a fight for the place he will have a
number of active supporters among the
Northern members.
From the Auburn Courier.l
There are many candidates mentioned in
connection with the se~natorship of this
state, but so far Mcdonald and VOORHEES, are
the most prominent. III it were not for his
'isalarv record" we should like to see
Voor ees chosen, but this salary business
has become odious to the people, and all
those connected with il must be- punished. |
at some time or other. Now is a good time
to punish Brother Dan. by permitting him
to remain at home. This being the case,
Mcdonald ought to have the inside track for
the position.
From the BrownstOwn Banner.l
$50 your full length tor the Tall Sycamore,
and we shall stand by you to the endm
This is the cheering intelligence that comes
to us from democrats all over the county.
In response, we can only say, rest easy, |
acknowledgements. 9Th Tall Sycamore of
the Wabash for the Senate'-that's our
ticket, and 'sink or swim, live or die,
survive or p risb, /" we shall stand by our
colors to the end AS between him and any
other man in Indiana, we wish it to be dis
tinctly understood that we are for Daniel w.
Voorhees, First, last, and all the time"
From the Terre Haute Journal
1t is a well established fact that the sol.
diers have never had a warmer and more
persistent friend than d. w. VOORHEES,.
During his service in Congress he several
sfpaan offnV1 ntn1 m IN tho nQSGo0o of a Il
bill equalizing their bounties, and invaria-
bly, met with the opposition of the repub-
lican majority. This is we'll understood by
the soldiery of this state, and will not be
forgotten by those of their organization who
have been returned as members of the legis-
lsture when the time for electlng a United
States senator arrives.
