OUR NEXT SENATOR.
sPIRIToF THE INDIANA PRESS

M DONALD THE FAVORITE.
from the Evansville Courier1 :
we like these men who fight VOORHEES,,
but. we would be pleased to hear their views
more explicitly. The Courier believes that
the promises of he government of the United
States are superior to any commodity-even
to gold.
From the Franklin Herald
| To the victors belong the spoils, and no
man should be elected to the United States
Senate, or any other Office in the gift of the
square upon the platform which carried the
party to victory in October. sS
from the Logansport Pharos.l
Mr.. voorhees, IL still engs ged in letting off
political pyrotechnics in Southern Indiana.
For gentleman who has retired from poll
tics Mr.. V. takes an, unusual interest in the
| senatorial Question. It Is noticeable. how
ever, that he don't get about the national
road in his journeyiugs.
~. IFrom the Cannelton Enquirer.l
The friends of Mr.. Voorhees, and Melon
aid are getting little too warm over the
merits'of their favorites and the dement's of
| the other. Go slow, gentlemen, a worse
thing might happen than the election of
either OF these distinguished democrats Let
US not quarrel over the matter.
From the Cannelton Enquirerl
Mr.. Voorhees, says that other men voted
for the salary grab, why should not he?
Well, the only reason we know of is that If
took money out of the national treasury and
put II into bis pocket without any considera-
| ton to the former. Any thief might use the
same argument.
From the Seymour Democrat
VOORHEES, stands on our late state plat
form, say his supporters, and Mcdonald
Doesn't. That platform declares in favor of
| a "strict construction of the constitutions
If the constitution is strictly construed. we
would like to know what becomes of voor-
hees' Initiation plan? VOORHEES, don't stand
upon the platform himself.
From the Logansport Pharos.
The sentiment OF the democratic press in
this state is in large majority for Mr. Ne
Donald for United States senator. Every
day the advocates OF imitation and Mr.. Voor-
val of business and the high prices of pro-
duce are factors in this result not to be
despised or overlooked. go
tFrom the Frankfort Crescent.l
A copy of the daily Enquirer has been sent
US containing long article in support of d.
w. VOORHEES, for United States Senator. The
interference of the Enquirer in Indiana poll
tics has become somewhat nauseating. Such
has been the persistence with which that
paper has advocated his claims: if for no
other reason Mr.. Voorhees, should be de-
feated. The people OF Indiana can attend to
| their own affairs without the ceaseless inter-
meddliDg OF the Cincinnati Enquirer.
IFrom the Danville Indianian.l
d. w. Voorhees, is making conspicuous
jassack of himself in regard to the United
States senatorship. He goes about the state
protesting great admiration for the cardinal
principles of democracy-and in the mean
time tries to justify his participancy in the
salary grab. We appreheDd that when
"Daniel comes to Judgment" the people
will be 10th TO part with him, and Mr.
Mcdonald will iake the seat which the
Wabasher cOvets. Salary grabbers must
stand aside while democracy is in power.
From the Tell City Commercially
In another column will be found an ed-
torisl taken from the Evansville Journal.
which is highly and deservedly compliment
tary to our able representative in congress,
the Hon. William +. Niback. Judge Niblack
is not an aspirant TOR the United States SEN
atorstip, but If the embroglio bet ween the
friends of Mcdonald and Voorhees, should
| render it necessary to choose third man,
| the mautel could not fall upon a better man
| than Judge Niblack. He would be sccepta-
bic TO the whole people Of the state.
(From the Daviess County Democrat
Harvey Taylor, our representative in the
legislature. says he will vote for the man for
United States senator who is acceptable to
| the majority ofhis constituents. The demon
stration on Wednesday night would seem to
indicate that Dan. Voorhees, is the choice of
| the majority. Not that Dan is a better or
| an ADLER man than Judge Mcdonald, but he
| is one of your Henry Clay sort of fellows,
and csPtivates the people with his match
less eloquence. They say that Voorhees,
erred in taking the salary grab, but that it
was his only mistake md they are willing
to forgive him.
From the Connersville Examinerl
The Lawrenceburg Register says that the
Hon. W. S. Holman is a candidate for
United States senator, notwithstanding re-
ports to the contrary. He is a candidate
in good faith, and will make the fight upon
honorable principles and abide the result of
the legislative caucus. Such has been his
purpose from the beginning. Much as we
would regret TO lose Mr.. Holman as our rep
reseDtatiye in congress, we would consent
to almost anything to defeat salary grab
Der.
From the Upton Times.l
The argument used by some Voorhees, Or
gsns in iavor. OF that gentleman are certainly
very novel, il not able. They say: "True,
Voorhees, voted for and took the salary
grab, and it was very, very wrong, but we
have no assurance that Mcdonald
would not have done likewise"
With the same Show of reason, the judge
trying horse thief might say: "True, this
man is guilty beyond doubt, but we have
no assurance that A, b. G, ID, Z, + and G,
would not have done the very same thing
under like circumstances, and will, there
fore, acquit the defendant"
From the Logansport Pharos.l
The Fort Wayne Sentinel, in an article
upon the senatorial question, does Mr.. Nc
Donald great injustice, Internationally of
course, but nevertheless an injustice. Mr..
Mcdonald is opposed to initiation of
the currency in any manner, and is
as pronounced honest money man as
