PRESS COMMENTS.
PARTY BONDS SLACK.

From the Cannelton Enquirer.
One thing seems now certain, that the peo-
pie will not further support the present
ruling psrty-whether they will support the
democracy will depend very much on the
action OF the democrats in congress, and the
kind of men that are brought out as candi-
dates. The best men must be put forward or
the people will find some other means out of
the boiling caldron Of corruption.
A MATTER FOR CONGRATULATIONS.
From the New York Post republican,.
Mr.. Michael G. Kerr, who is a candidate
for the democratic nomination to the forty
fourth congress, from the Second District OF
Indiana, will undoubtedly be elected if he
receives it, for the district is strongly OPP
posed to the republicans. In that event we
shall consider the choice matter for the
congratulation of honest men of all parties,
when we remember his services in behalf of
free trade.
ONE INDEPENDENT BREAK.
From the Logansport star.
1t is time that partyism was done away
with in our city affairs, and good men, anx-
ious for reform, will cordially support these
gentlemen. There can be no objection
urged to them. If they will consent to be
candidates, there will be no necessity for
any party conventions. Being elected by
the peoisle without party nominations, they
will not be bound and hampered by party
ties, but can sud will look constantly to the
best interests of the whole city.
PARTY TRICKS OUT OF ORDER.
From che Terre Hsute Journal.
The times are not favorable for tricksters
to succeed, and the people are not just in the
humor to be successfully hoodwinked by
cunning wire4pullers. There are men con-
nected with this labor movement who gave
thsir adherence to it from the very best and
purest of motives, and If they find it con-
trolled by set of adroit schemers, they will
oppose it with as much searnestness as they
ever espoussd it. Gentlemen who think
they can pullIGle wool over the eyes of the
people when the light of reform is so preva-
lent all over the country. will wake up some
bright morning to find themselves much
mistaken.
ONE FOR, CoLONBL SvHITTLESEY.
gErom the Mount Vernon Democrat.
Colonel A. 7. whittlesey, of Vanderburgh
eoanty, ds our choice for secretary of state
and we claim that we are not asking too
mech when .wealrge upon the democracy of
the state a favorable recognition of his
cisians. ct is due to the gallant democracy
OF the First District, who know his worth,
so well, and with whom he has
stood i'm many herd fought bat
tie that Colonel Whitaesey should re-
ceive this hominaion. We say to the dem
ocraey of Indiana that in our humble
Judgment there is no man in the state better
qualified or more deserving of the Office than
A. T. Whittsesey. The frieads of Colonel
Whittlesey can point to his past history with
pride. No faint ofcerruption fingers around
him, in public or in private HE. His record
is that of an honest man. In the dark
days OF adversely he has never despaired
or ceased to labor for the sue
cess of democratic principles and in
prosperity he has often stepped aside and
given up all feelings of a personal nature to
insure harmony and continued success. If
the de nocracy of Indiana wish to place upon
their ticket the name of aspeakef of unques-
toned ability and power, political writer
second to none in the state, democrat who
has never lowered his standard or brought
dishonor upon his flag, warm hearted, ge-
NAL gentleman, and. above all, an honest
and capable man, then nominate A. Z. Whit
tleseY tor secretary of state. ~
