Like their brethren in Illinois the lndians
Republicans are worried about the imitation question ia
connection with the action Of their next State Conyen-
ton The farmers entrance into politics has the same
effect upon them It has IN Illinois, which Is to make
them exceedingly about putting on any extra
load for the coming campaign in the shape OF questions
of doubtful popularity But Senator Morton demands
an Endorsement and the faithful bound 10 give 1t at
risk to the party The risk VIII be less IN indiana
however, than it will IN Illinois, since the former Ia
doubtless the strongest imitation state in the Union.
Some of the Republican newspapers in his
district having accused the Hon. John NJ. Francis OK
The Tr0y Times with attempting to start an rrepressble
conflict among the candidates for Congress. and thus
secure his own election compromise, he gets oven
with them in this way his Journal: As the editor
of The Troy Times in the seeking line, he has
occasion to employ any such agency; and IL may
relieve these editors OF all socitude In regard
his political welfare he states to them that he aban-
doned all thoughts OF going Congress some fifteen or
twenty years ago, and that under no condition OF CIR
except might be to secure the passage OF law
impose wholesome discipline upon journalistic block
heads and naturaborn fools"
The DOMINIC of its new dress seems to have
given The Ceueond Herald an unusual feeling Of indie
pendence for it speaks its MUD the disposition made
OF Judge Richardson IN most refreshing IL says:
I'VE do know that Mr. Richardson Is unfit for that
position but We do know that public sentiment, we'll
grounded dema nded the resignation OF Mr. Richardson
as Secretary the Treasury, and infexlby op
posed the President providing feather bed for
official to strike upon who is compelled to leap from the
window. This business OF transferring an incompeent
to other office has come to BIO an abuse the
an official is found wanting in the necessary requisites
for able discharge Of his duty he should have his fall
mentai pacei The principle is all wrong The practice
which is a chronic one with all administration
ali one high office under Government the inference
he is unfit TO I'LL another Office"
Latest accounts from Wisconsin say that an
OF the political omens point to the certain defeat OF
Matt Carpenter in his attempt to return to the
United States Senate correspondent Of The Chicago
Tribune says Mr. Carpenter Is certain 10 be candidate
for reelection, and that his defeat is just certain.
Why he thinks 80 he explains as follows: 1.-The fact 10
he is politically dead to all ntents and purposes, and the
people Of this will bury his remains just
the law will allow have but little faith In the Re
publican party but have too much to believe for
that they by possibility be united Car
penter. Should my confidence In the honesty OF tho
party be misplaced or unOunded regards their inten
fact that they will not have the ability ~ elect Carpenter
they should make united effort In bis behalf"
The correspondent predicts the Of the Re-
form party in the State election and the sending OF
haps Of the following TO oil Senator Carpenters
seat: George II. Paul. II. L. Palmer DR.. o. W. Wight.
George B. Smith, Gabe Bouck. and Gov. Taylor
Illinois Republicans appear to be great
deal frightened by the conference Of German and Dem
ocratc editors, held In Chicago few days ago. They
are afraid IL means coalition between all OF the anti
Administration eements-the farmers, Germans, and
Democrats-and they In such a union nothing but
inevitable defeat The Ninois State Register (Dem.).
whose editor present ct the conference thus ndi
that the Republicans have good grounds for their
fears: Assuming, We do, that all who ind cause OF
complaint in the present financial and political condi
ton Of the country honest In their opposition to the
Republican party We reason to doubt that .
coalition will be formed by the Democrats the farmers
the antimonopoists, and the Germans, for whom Mr..
Hesng speaks" What the Farmers will do at their
convention cannot be oretod, there Is noticeable
lack OF "logrOlling" in their ranks. Their Independents
spirit Is thus illustrated by Tie Rock Isldad Argus rs
Is too early TO talk about candidates Let wss
and see what the Independent platform Is TO be- IL 10

their wants as TO candidates 1t Is our belief that any
man who figures for nomination will not get n. aud

unbiased BY the personal wishes Of anybody"
