from the Terre Haute GazetteJ
To those persons in Terre Haute who NJ
feet to believe that Nj. VOORHEES, has some
chance of being elected United States seua-
tor, we recommend the extracts from the
press of the state published ia this issue
This is the second set of extracts we have
published. The first was very much
longer than this, and indeed this set was
cut short not from want of material for We
have a well developed pigeon-hole full of
extracts. but because of lack of space, owing
to the pressure upon our columns in the
publication of the presidents message.
Several days ago We said that four-fftbs of
the democratic press of the state was against
the fo0llshneSs of Mr.. VOORHEES,: we now
amend our statement and saw pine-tenths
We shall furnish evidences proving this
statement during the next two weeks.
From the Anderson Democrat
The Hon. 3. +. HaYcns, representative
elect from Vigo county, was in town Tues
day looking after the interests of the Hon.
ID. W. voorhees,. He thinks ID. W. has the
pole which will knock the senatorial per-
simmons. be drove out to the farm Of the
Hob. George w. Harris to ascertain
how that gentleman stands. senatorisllv.
The Hon. George informed him that he was
pledged TO vote against a "grabber" in cau-
Gus, but would support the nominee of the
caucus, whoever he might be. VOORHEES,
will carry more strength no the caucus.
probably, than any other candidate.
From the Bloomington Democrat
Al the request of several of Mr.. Voorhees,
friends in this place, we publish to-day a
long communication from the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Mr.. VS. friends claim that il
would be a violation of the principles laid
down by the democratic platform 10 elect
Judge Mcdonald to the United States Senate.
This may be true, but would it not be as
great a disregard for the platform, to elect
Mr.. Voorhees,? We believe il would be for
the best interests of the party In the state
that the legislature should elect some ran,
land we have numbers of them who are able
and qualified, that Is right on the platform
laid down by the democracy. both as re-
CARDS the currency and salary grab ques-
.tions.
From the New Harmony Register
We publish in this paper a c~ommunica-
ton to the Cincinnati Enquirer in regard to
the Indiana senstorshIp. The part of the
article relating to the Hon. W. L. Niblack
every one OF his constituents in the
first district will recognize as true.
No gentleman in Indiana would
wear the senatorial mantle more
gracefully than Judge Niblack. We
happen to know that Mr.. Niblack is not an
aspirant for the position, and will do nothing
to influence the legislature i'm his own be-
half-he will be in Washington during the
session, aud will stay there attending to his
duties-but we are satisfied, in view of his
distinguished career in the lower house. onr
democratic legislature might do many worse
actS than that of choosing him 10 succeed
Mr.. Pratt in the United States Senate.
From the Ligonier Banner.l
Unlike most republican papers. the Crown
Point Register does not yearn for Voorhees,
election to the Senate. 1t goes so far as to
say: "If there is danger that VOORHEES, will
beat j. f. Macdonald for the U. S. Senate,
and there is no chance OF running in a
good republican, we hope enough OF our
friends will vote for Mcdonald 10
elect him. He Is much the better man OF
the two, and we do hope our republican
members will cook Voorhees, goose al all
hazards, for ne is a dangerous mar TO send
to the United States Senate-he is in all es-
sentials what may be trutbtully termed a
'b~latberskite.'" Some of the republicans
are evidently itching 10 take a hand in the
fight between Mcdonald and VOORHEES,.
From the Terre Haute Gazette.1
The attention ofthe reader is called TO a
number OF extracts taken from the press,
chiefly OF this state, upon the senatorial
question. This Is only the first installment.
We shall supplement it as the fight pro,
from, there are only three or
four papers in the state in favor
of Voorhees,, and we have had a pretty good
opportunity OF knowing. when it is consid-
cred that the Sycamore Chronicle "rises and
sets" with and on him, and does nothing but
umns the voluminous correspondence Of his
body guard in this city. We venture
the assertion that the democratic
press of the state is five TO one
against him, and when the Chronicle says
the opposition to him here in Vigo county
is small in numbers, it betrays n lamentable
ignorance of the facts. If it would go out
on the streets nowto ascertain the facts IN
this case, as it went during the summer 10
find out what It's financial views were, it
would not be guilty of so gro>s an error.
