The Inconsistency and bad faith of
the Democratic party in Indiana was
never more apparent than is shown by
their Representatives in the Legisla-
ture now in session. Every act thus
far, affecting tho pcpolc, has been di-
rectly in opposition to their pledges
and promises made to the people and
as expressed in their platform. On
the financial question they were in ia
yor OF retiring the national bank cur
reucy. aud substituting in its place
greeubacks, and also an increase in

one that had to be solved; and in a state of mind
bordering on lunacy he tackled the infant and

marriage to another person, and proceeded as
