ablest mean we have to make the race, and
with him our candidate, success would
be assured. We understand that his friends
have determined to present his name to the
convention, and will insist that he take the
race. Should be be nominated it will be a
case of the Office seeking the man and not
the man the office. We know that General
Browne does not desire the race, but GER
tainly he would not decline it If rendered
him, although he assures us he does not wish
to have his name used in connection with
any Office.
FACE THE MUSIC.
From the Clark County Record.
Candidates for Office this year may just
as well make up their minds at once to face
the music squarely on the subject of intern
perance. There are but two sides to this
question, and the temper OF the public mind
will not permit men seeking popular suf-
frage longer to occupy an equivocal position.
The aspirant for office who visits and pat
ronizes drinking saloons, and courts the
favor of beer and whisky guzzlers, and those
engaged or interested in the traffic must not
expect to get the votes of those not ad-
dicted to those practices.
NOT CANDIDATES.
| From the LedgeT-Standard.
In the report of the vote cast in Fleyd
county, at the primary election of last week,
it is shown that Hon. s. X. Wolfe and Judge
c. L. Durham received but three or four
votes each, as candidates for the nomination
for congress. Without explanation this
would 90 these gentlemen a serious iDius-
tice. They were not candidates, and under
all the circumstances it is to be regretted
that few indiscreet friends should place
them in false position by voting for them
at the primary election.
LIBERAL AND KIND.
From the Spiceland Reporter
The Sentinel of Monday publishes an ex-
hibit, showing the growth of indianapolis in
a year. This report shows very great in
crease over the previous year, and is cer-
tainly a gratifying statement to the people
of the whole state, as well as to the thou
sands who live in our fair capital 1t is with
pleasure we note that present indications
show that this year will do more tor the CITY
than has been done in any former year.
! WHISKY STRAIT.
From the Edinburg Waterman.
We learn from democratic exchange that
the democrats of Bartholomew have adopted
a strait whisky ticket, all but two candidates
publicly protesting to be whisky men; the
candidate for auditor aud recorder not so
declaring themselves. J. ID. Mcqueen,
lCl0Iks 0cOISo OWdTlZkOU, IfeaSur6rs James
w. Wells, auditor; David Stobo, recorder /;
Daniel Lynch, sheriff.
A GENTLE HINT.
From the Kokomo Tribune.
There are few grangers, and few farm
ers who are not grangers, who would be glad
to see the grass grow in the streets of Ko-
komo. There are few merchants willing
to assist in creating enmitv between town
} and country. Both OF these classes would
, render the community service by buying
excursion tickets to Kansas and staying
there.
TRIBUTE To THE MAN.
From the Clark County Record)
Without indorsing Mr.. Kerr's political
views-past, present or future, we will do
him the justice to say that the second con-
gressional district of Indiana has never been
more ably represented than by Michael C.
Kerr. and we know OF no member of con-
gress from any state who, in SO short a pc
riod, has gained national reputation OF so
tattering character
PRIVATE FOR PROMOTION.
From the Corydon Democrat
, Among the several names mentioned in
connection with the office of the treasurer
of state, we see that of Gen. Levi Sparks. OF
! Clark county. Mr.. Sparks has been "high
private in the democratic ranks for many
: years and has never been honored with any
position by the party. The third district
, cannot make better selection.
DEC EFT GRANGERI voLENTE.
From the Anderson HeraId.)
From present indications the work of the
, republican state convention will be merely
nominal. The present republican encum-
bents of state officers are all gentlemen, en-.
tirely capable, and thoroughly honest. We
are willing they shall be honored with re-
nomination, and the grangers concurring, be
reelected.
