never yet been seen outside of the pres
ent Democratic House of Representa-
tives. When Springer struck at Nor
ton in regard to the use of the money
which he was obliged to procure from
the general government because of the
reasonable designs of the Indiana Con-
federate Legislature of 1862 g, he ena-
bled the great war governor to tell again
the story of the infamous deeds of that
dark period. Senator Morton has told
it in the Senate, and we venture to say
that neither Springer nor any other
gentleman with an investigating turn
of mind, will turn it in that direction
again. We should be glad if they
would. If Morton lacks anything now
of being nominated and elected Presi-
dent, few more such attacks Will sup
ply him with the necessary strength.
Let the record be brought out. Meth
er Morton nor the Republican party
need have any fears. They wanted a
short time ago to letbygones be bygones.
Now they supply the fuel to light again
the flames of the past; and we can as
sure them that they are the ones who
will be ScOrched.

A good illustration of the free trade
trash, industriously taught by the Chi
cago Tribune, and most of the Demo
cratic newspapers, is found in the pres
ent price of cotton goods. A first-class
article of yard wide bleached muslin
can now be purchased at retail at 10
cents per yard. The Tribune states
that the tariff on cotton goods is 20 per
cent, and that the tariff is always tax
which is added to the price. But 20
per cent. of 10 cents is 7cents, therefore
if there was no tariff we could buy such
goods at three cents per yard. A prac-
teal example of this kind at once re-
duces the Tribune theories to nonsense.

From the Indiana Journal.
As il Looks Now.

The best-informed opinion in Re
publican circles now is that the con-
test for the presidential nomination
at Cincinnati is practically between
Messrs. Morton and Blaine. There
can be no doubt of this if either of
the candidates now conspicuously be-
fore the country is to succeed 1t is
quite possible that the rivalry be-
tween the several prominent candi-
dates may assume such shape that
neither of them can be nominated,
and in that case some available man
who now stands in the second rank
will be taken up. There would be
nothing discouraging in such a result.
Fortunately the Republican party has
such an abundance OF good material
that the convention need be at no
loss to select an excellent candidate
outside of the list Of those now prom
inently spoken of, in which we class
Messrs. Morton, Blaine, Conkling and
BristOw. The last named will devel-
op but little strength in the conven-
ton. What strength he has is scat
tered and unavailable, and though
some Of his supporters are noisy and
aggressive they do not command any
considerable following. Mr. Bristow
would make a good President, but
there is no human probability of his
nomination. Mr. Conkling is man
of splendid abilities and unsulIed
character, but he is lacking in the
elements Of popular strength. II he
could command the united support
of the New York delegation he would
have a nucleus Of strength about
which he might rally a strong fol-
lowing from other quarters. But
this ne cannot do, and it is hardly
possible that a candidate who can
not command the solid vote of his
own State on the first ballot should
receive the nomination. If nomin-
ated, Mr.. COnkling would deserve the
enthusiastic support of the Republi
can party, and would doubtless re-
ceive it with the exception of few
political dilettanti and unappreciated
soreheads; but he stands very little
chance of receiving the nomination.
The race as it stands is between Nor
ton and Blaine. Both have elements
Of decided popular strength, and
both will 90 into the convention with
a strong following Neither can be
nominated on the first ballot, which
will be TO some extent formal. The
first ballot will dispose of several "fa-
vorite sons" who have no strength
outside of their own States, and the
second will show who the strong can
didates are and i'm what direction
their undeveloped strength lies. The
real tug Of war will begin then, and it
will end in the nomination OF Morton
or Blaine, or some man whose name
is not mentioned in this article.

Let Justice be Done.

Hon. James n. Tyner, who served
six years in congress, and was one of
the ablest members the State ever had
in that body, is again candidate for
the Republican nomination, and we
are sorry to say is meeting with sort
of opposition in his district from GER
tain Republican newspapers which is
discreditable to them as public journals.
They are attacking him because he re-
ceived the pay which was voted to him
by congress, and which was legally his
own. In so doing, he merely followed
the example of many of the most illus
trious statesmen of the country of the
present and the past, among whom we
may name Chas. Sumner, Henry Wilson,
the Washburnes, Speaker Kerr, Cover
nor Hendricks and many others. He has
issued circular to the people of his
District, clear and convincing paper
on the subject of the salary voted by
the AID congress, marked by his usual
ability, and we venture to say that
while the papers which oppose him will
misrepresent his statement, none of
them will have the frank manliness to
lay it before their readers. This is a
subject on which portion of the press
has determined that the truth shall not
be known to the people. While we
have no right perhaps to put in our oar
for that District, and while we have
high personal respect, and friendly re-
gard for both Col. ShryOck and Col.
Bringhurst, yet because of the gross
unfairness of the opposition to Mr.. Ty-
ner, We sincerely hope he will secure
the nomination. We know he would
be tower of strength to the party In
the State, and when elected, as he
would be, he would be one of the fore
most members of congress in ability
and influence, one of whom the entire
State would be proud. At the Repub-
lican convention on the 22d of Februa-
ny, we overheard the conversation of
two gentlemen from Peru, and one OF
them made the remark that he might
have some respect for the arguments
used against Tyner if it were not for
the intense meanness of the motives
which prompted them; that he never
heard any one use the ''back-pay' ar
gument against any man, for any other
than narrow, mean, jealous, personal,
selfish reasons. And because of this,
he was for Tyner with all his might.
He was stranger to us, but We know
he is true, manly man, whoever he
may be. And we believe there are a
great many more like him in that Dis
trict.

Springer and Morton.

''WhOm the Gods would destroy
they first make mad, - is an old proverb
which is lately receiving new illustra.
lions in the present national House of
Representatives. In order to blacken
the character of some man distinguish
ed as Republican statesman, it has
come to Da a not unusual occurrence,
gravely to receive and report the testi-
timony of some escaped: lunatic; but
the country will no longer wonder at
this since Mr.. Congressman Springer
conceived the insane notion that it
would be good thing to move upon
the works of Senator Morton. BY that
he has stamped himself a greater luna
tic than the poor fellow who told the
wonderful stories of Grant rafting
around his bedside at night-in the
spirit. For a strictly loyal man to at
tack Morton's war record would re-
quire fOOl-hardiness of sublime order.
but for former member of the Knights
of the Golden circle to do it, argues a
species of lunacy which has

The Municipal Elections.

The work Of defamation and SANDER
is producing its natural result. 1t has
often been the case that men in public
life have been subjected to the grossest
abuse and detraction. Washington did
not escape, and no time in the history
of the country has been free from it.
But the present time, through Demo-
cratic newspapers and the Confederate
House of Representatives at Washing
ton has became wild carnival of SLAM
der. Very few escape, and so general
has it become that the man who is not
attacked will very soon be looked upon
with suspicion as having been untrue
to his party or his country. Carried to
such an extent, it's partisan character
is detected by the people, and they have
made up their minds to rebuke it.
They do not believe that party which
seeks to secure power by dishonest
trickery and the wickedest SANDER of
the best men of the country, is worthy
to be set up as the exclusive repository
of all that is good and pure and true in
American politics. The people approve
all real attempts to reform and purify.
They are heart and voice with the
President and Secretary Bristow in
their work of destroying corrupt rings
and overthrowing the power of public
plunderers. But when they see labor
ed attempts to investigate, manifestly
for partisan purposes only, and which
result only in disgraceful failure, they
conclude that dishonesty out of Office
does not indicate honesty in office.
These considerations, and the further
one, that whenever the Democracy have
been tried, they have been found want
ing, have impelled the people to stand
by the Republican party. The late
municipal elections in Indiana were
most significant. They show that the
people are not to be deceived; that they
see through all shams and trickery, and
that they have determined that the
path of tue safety is to continue in
power the Republican party. This is
the precise meaning of the Republican
municipal victories. They mean that
the State may be placed with certainty
i'll the Republican column for October
and November next. They are the bat
tie of Franklin, which have broken the
enemy and prepared the way for the
still greater Nashville victory in the
Fall, by which they will be utterly
routed and driven from the heights
which they now occupy.

RetributiOn.

The st. Louis Globe and Globe Dem
ocr0 was one of thoseI newspapers
which assumed superior virtue over
the acts of the AID congress; and we re-
member on the occasion when about a
hundred of the members of that con-
gress assembled in. st. Louis in May,
1873, at the invitation of the Mayor and
citizens of that city, that newspaper
publicly insulted them by long and in
famously unjust and grossly abusive ar
ticle. At that very time its editOr-in-
chief was a member of the corrupt
whisky ring, and is now under sentence
to two years in jail, and to pay fine
of $4,000. The GlObe-DemOcrdt ought
not to be considered a Republican news
paper. 1t was one of those newspapers
which assumed the garb of Republican
ism for the purpose of clOaking their
mischievous designs, and which, by
their constant, cowardly stabs of lead
ing Republicans and the acts of the
party, succeeded in bringing disaster
upon it in 1874. We knew then what
the result would be and predicted it,
and when the result justified our expec-
tations, we stated plainly the reasons
for our defeat of that.year. For this
we received volleys of newspaper de-
nunciation; but we notice that the
very same newspapers which so freely
eondemned us havesSince followed onr
example in condemnation of the prac-
tice of villifying and .slandering our own
party friends. If Mckee, of the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat, had been more
attentive to his own rectitude, and not
so much to covering his OVID crimes b..
attacking better men than himself, he
might not now be an. inmate of a cell
In common jail.

From all over the State, from the
lake to the river, and from the Ohio to
the Illinois line came the notes of Re
publican victory the next day after the
election. Such general upheaval was
scarcely ever before witnessed in the
State. From the capital city the grand
swell moved to every point of the COM
pass. Even Fort WayHe fell into the
line and routed the Democracy. In
two or three places in the State there
was slight going backward; in half a
dozen, the Democrats held their own,
but in most of the towns and cities the
column was pushed far to the front and
the banner waves full high advanced. y

The insulting and impertinent reso-
luton of Representative Blackburn,
adopted by the House of Representa-
tives some time ago, received fitting
rebuke in the message of President
Grant sent to the House ON the 4th
Inst. The resolution requested the
President to inform the House what
official acts he had performed while alb
sent from the seat of government. The
message was a genteel castigation in
which he showed that every one of the
Presidents except Lincoln and Harri-
son performed official acts while absent
from the seat of government. Accord
ing to the memoranda furnished with
the message the number of days the
different Presidents were absent are as
fnllnuo.
