MCDONALD III FAVORTT
From the Goshen Democrat.l =,
III It was not for the State Sentinel and
the Ierre Haute Journal, no one would ever
imagine that the Hon. Dan Voorhees, was
realty candidate Tor United States senator.
From the Richmond independently
The senatorial race has dwindled down to
voorhees, and Mcdonald. 1t is understood
that Gooding will be a candidate. Between
say, givs us Mcdonald.
From the New Albany Ledger Standard
The course of the friends of Mr.. voorhees,
has awakened an opposition at his own
home, which may do the distinguished can
didate considerable harm. The parties in
the controversy all appear to be democrats,
and our advice is still, "Let us have peace.n
IFrom the Laporte Heraldl
We learn that the Hon. Martin Holllnger.
clerk OF Vigo county, is a candidate for
United states senator. This makes two
canuidates Tor Vig0 county, and il Is ex-
pected Mr.. Hollinger will divide the votes
OF THAT OF the state with the Hon. Dan.
Voorhees,.
lFrom the Sullivan County Democrat.
The Journal informs us that enthusiastic
democrats OF Terre Haute are stalking their
last dollar on Mr.. voorhees, for senator. and
declare they will never vote the ticket again
IL he is not nominated. Now suppose 9TH
ers should swear they viii not vote the ticket
again if he is nominated? Will it not get us
into a sort OF q muss?
From the Fort Wayne Sentinel
Gov. Hendricks has outlined the situation
In a terse sentence. 'The republican party
can not destroy us, but we can DESTROY our-
selves" How2 By listening to the sophis-
Try OF the Cincinnati Enquirer, Dan Voor-
bees and Jeems Buchanan, the man who
has a "'plan.' If the democracy is honest
enough to kick these chsrlatans out of the
PARTY, its future is assured.
From the Miami County Sentinel.l
We are opposed to salary grabbing, and
extravaganza in all It's forms. We want
men selected to fill all positions who enter
tain the same opinions, and, from what we
know ofthe legislative body, which assemblies
next month, we are willing, confidently. to
entrust to their discretion the selection of a
United States senator and all other officers
to be appointed by them.
[From the Frankfort Cresent.l
We hope the friends of Mr.. voorhees,. VINO
are pushing his claims as candidate for the
United States Senate, will go a little slow.
The opinion largely prevails tn at Mr.. Voor-
bees, however gifted and eminen t, is not the
man, and we do not like TO be driven to the
POlut VI Doluk COL1D6ll6Q 10 proclaim the
reason from the house tops. Be a little
moderate.
from the Seymour Democrat.I
The Hon. VIM. s. Holman is a candidate for
the United States Senate. Mr.. Holman is
one OF the foremost men in the United
States, and deserves all the honors that our
party can bestow. But we can not afford at
this time to lose a representative to make a
senator. When we have made a just appor-
tionment of the state, then we can spare
him, but not till then.
IFrom the Rochester SentineI.1
Now comes David s. Gooding, of Hancock
county, and himself as a csndi-
date for United States senator, but the tide
has set in for Joseph f. Mcdonald. who is
the coming man. Holman and Turpie have
been freely spoken of in the same connec-
ton, either OF whom will do donor to the
party choosing them, but we ask to be de-
livered from "the tall sycamore"
From the Martin County Herald.l
The tall salary-grabbing Sycamore OF the
Wabash, Dan. voorhees,, is presenting his
claims for the Indiana senatorship, with that
mate modesty for which he is so justly cele-
brated. Mr.. Voorhees, is a pestilent dema.
with a great capacity for bowling,
and is as ignorant of craftsmanship as he
is of political principle. II the democrats
of Indiana can make no better use of their
recent victory in the state than to send this
man to the United States Senate, they may
as we'll prepare at once to ham the govern
ment of the commonwealth over to the re-
publicans at the first opportunity.
From the Seymour Democrat
Mr.. voorhees, friends are making war
other prominent democrats who are
supposed to be candidates for the United
Senate. Mr.. Voorhees, says, in a letter
to the New Albany Ledger4Standard, that
he is not the enemy of any democrat, whether
he is an aspirant for office or not. Let him
then call off his dogs. AS long as he permits
them to bark at the heels of honest men he
may expect retaliation. The democrats of
the state do not belong to Mr.. Voorhees,,
and the bullying of himself or bis foolish
will not help him, or deter straight
forward, salary-grab-hating democrats from
expressing their opinion that ~salary-grab-
Osrs are not fit persons TO be elected to Office
oy democrats.
From the Vincennes SUM-
Indiana is fortunate in having several
great men. There are no abler or bet
er men In the United States than Thomas
A. Hendricks, Daniel w. VOORHEES,, Joseph
Mcdonald, William s. Holman, M. C.
Kerr and William E. Niblack. We can fur
lish brilliant orators for the Senate and su-
oerior craftsmanship for the presidency. 1t
nay be truly said that Indiana has a greater
of really first-class statesman than
an be found in any other state, either of
whom would reflect credit on the state and
% an honor to the Senate and country.
surely our legislature can not fail to select
N able and good man for senator when we
ave so many"
From the Daviess County Democrat
Though a believer in the g~reenback doc {
rine, the Sullivan Democrat objects to the !
election of Dan. Voorhees, to the {
United States Senate. 1t reminds Daniel
hat not many months ago he emphatically I
that he was not a candidate for any q
flee, but had in good faith retired from :
.olitics, and intended to devote his time 1
exclusively to his profession. The f
is in opinion that Mr.. Voorhees, O
