OUR NEXT SENATOR.
SPIRIT OF THE INDIANA PRESS.

M'DOSALD THE FAVORITK.
From the Sullivan Democrat
Mr.. Voorhees, is making a canvass for the
.enatorsbip. He was lately at Lawrence
burg aud Washington, Daviess county, ana
Is posted for Vincennes on the IIth.
From the Richmond Independently
Candidates for United States senator are
looming up. The last one named Is Maine"
r. Hull. Mathew is preferable to the rail-
Sycamore" but the state does not require
the services Of either In the Senate
From the Columbia City Post.l
The Hon. J. r. McDonsld's chances for the
senatorship from Indiana seem TO De lll-
proving every day. Voorhees, IS practically
out OF the race. The democracy OF Indiana
will not send salary grsbber to the Senate.
from the Terre Haute Gazeite-I
The Cincinnati Commercial is authority
for the statement that branch Office for
the election of D. W. Voorhees, to the Sen
ate has been opened in that city. Verify
nronhet il not without honor save in his
ows county.
From the seymour Democrat
We say without fear OF contradiction, that
there were but few men in Congress during
the nine years the Hon. d. W. Voorhees, was
q representative, VINO were absent from nelr
duties in the house more frequently than
Mr.. Voorhees,.
from the Logsnsport Pharos1
The printers of Terre Hsute have held a
meeting and passed. resolutions expressing
their admiration Of Mr.. Voorhees,, and rec
ommending him as a suitable candidate Tor
the United States Senate. It would seem
that every string is to be pulled.
From the Waterloo Press.l
Toe McDonsld men charge that VOORHEES,
pledged himself last summer not to be
candidate Tor the United States Senatorship.
At the sime Dan committed this little indis
erection be supposed that the republicans
would carry the legislature.
From the Seymour Democrat
Voorhees, friends claim that he stands
upon the financial plank of the late state
platform. Does he indOrse that plank which
saws that we favor a return 10 specie pay
ments as soon as the business of the coun-
try will Justify it? If he iavors initiation he
can not consistently indOrse that part OF the
platform,
From the Bartholomew Democrat
voorhees, has thought it necessary to take
the stump in the senatorial race. This
course is inlrequent, though there is at least
one prominent precedent for 1t, with the dli-
ference thai this was joint canvass, while
@%t'
arguments.
From the Sullivan Democrat
1t is now claimed that the sslary-grab ac-
eusstion against Mr. VOORHEES, has been most
successfully ans cred py Mr.. V. in his late
speeches. 1t turns out then, that the de.
nunciatiOn of that act in our late state plat
form was an error. Ben. Butler should have
an opportunity to run his race over again .
IfuOt let him be cauonized as a martyr to
an unjust prejudice.
From the LoganspOrt Phayos.
Nine-tenths of the democratic voters OF
Csss county. could they give expression TO
their opinions upon the subject, prefer Mr..
Mcdonald to Mr.VoOrhees for United States
senator. We have yet to meet with single
prominent democrat but who regards the
election of Mr. voorhees, as inimieal to the
best interests of the party.
From the New Albany Ledger-Standardl
The Hon. d. w. Voorhees, will make a
speech at Vincennes to- morrow night. 1t is
to be of a political character, but we sin
cerely trust that the honorable gentleman is
not insugurating system of appearing on
the hastings as q claimant for the senator
ship. IL would be in bad taste, and injure
him in the estimation of many of his own
friends.
From the Winchester Journal
The Richmond Free Press freely forgives
Dan. Voorhees, for his vote in favor Of the
salary grab, but can not forgive Mcdonald
because ne is charged with being false Il
the great financial principl of the demo
cratic party. To the average democratic
mind, that salary grab business was not Sc
bad alter sll-they only used it during thu
campaign for political effect.
from the Washington Enterprisel
The Hon. T.. w. VOORHEES, delivered speecl
in this city, one week ago last night, to
large and attentive audience. His view
upon the currency question were very gen
orally Endorsed, but many who expecte
20 hear a speech without politics were dis
appointed III that particular. We believe h
is the choice of q large majority Of the peopi
in this part of the state for United State
senator. He is undoubtedly the ablest states
man in the state.
From the Logansport Start
Of all the democrats prominently spoke
OF for United States senator Judge Holms
iscertainly to ne preferred. He has made a
excellent and honorable record of himse
and the state, as a member of the lowe
House, and we doubt not would make on
equally as excellent in the Senate. He
not tainted with the salary grab, and
mentally the equal CT any OF the gentlenfe
mentioned in connection with the place
His friends are urging him vigorously.
From the New Albany Lsdger-Standardl
The Indianapolis Sentinel is publis min
from day to day the opinions of the press c
the state upon the senatorial question
From the extracts published it appears L
be about mp aud tuck between Mr.. McDou
aid and MIR. Voorhees,. II anything tuck hs

IFron the Sullivan Democrat
