A swREr REyKNGE.
There has been well sustained series OF
attempts. made by the Cincinnati ENQUIRER
| to injuse the democracy OF this slate con-
tinuing through several months. 1t is rare
that ssch devotion TO lost cavse is mani
| tested in these degenerate days, and to the
EnqSirer we must accord, hoWsver, grndg-
inglY, meeG OF praise. At the beginning
of she political campaign last fail, that
| newspaper became imaressed with
| tie magnitude of the responsibilities which.

racy was in favor OF Eaore and cheaper
money, and that any one who disserted
from its views was Vstl9iE. and liar 1t
choose Tor our United States Senator Dan
voorhees,, and for several weary months
Innwearily sang his praises. At times
il wrestled with the unrSCener-
ate democracy Of this state, and
waxed heavy OF heart when it became as
sured that we VEGA stiff-necked people.
Not until the day after the election did it
give up the contest, and then it proceeded to
take sweet revenge. A sensational reporter
was stationed st the capital, who, on the
slightest pretext or no pretext at all, was to
write long letters, containing terrific hints

point of making. This correspondent adj
nits that he was once
AN INMATE OF A REFORM SCHOOL.
No ono will contradict his statement,
though the confession is rather hard on the
management OF the school. The young
man should have been taught a wholesome
regard for the truth, before he was turned
loose upon society, On arriving at Indiana
polls he sought clerical position, th6t he
might be better able to meet the
expenses of winter in that CAV
city, but even this small boon WAS denied.
Is it any wonder, then, that his pen is and
has been constantly tipped with gall? This
correspondent is not especially sensitive.
He has on one or two occasions been cssti-
L gated by men whom he had injured and
Islander ed. but, like Mark Tapely, a drub-

ever. he is but g boy, however, and is In
the employ OF boys, and if he should do
