Stealings are on that line
An organ is great institution. Declaring
the third term discussion piece OF caprap The Hart
ford Post pleased say: We may console ourselves
with the that the metropolitan journals that
are striving to humbug and mislead the people In

Congressman Holman of Indiana is likely to
be Mr.. McDonalds most formidable antagonist IN the
contest for the u g. Senatoshp Several circumstances
seem to weaken Mr.. McDonald's claims. In the first
place he lives 10 Indianapolis, where Senator Morton
also resides and the other sections Of the State op
posed having both Senators chosen from one city
Again. the rural Democracy complain that the slate haa
been arranged entirely without consultation with them
They were gthened In this belief by little incident
which occurred at the Publication meeting in ndianapo

Mr.. Mcdonald the successor OF Senator Pratt anc
Mr.. Mcdonald returned the compliment by reierrlng@

honors did not please the outside Democracy and neS
threatened to smash the slate.
Dropping into politics for moment, The
Christian Union thus gives evidence that it is well in
formed about the situation: According 10 present
appearances the Republican party going into the Fan

Of party leaders, the utterauces OF party organs, the
outrage panks of Platforms and the result OF the
Convention OF Southern oee-hoders all seem 10 justify

Repupl,cau Senators and Representatives will be lost
but will be afforded 10y the experience vauaoie

Intelligent gh to earn-the lesson that unless Doll
