1t was a magnificent welcome home
that was accorded to the next Governor
of Indiana last Friday evening at In
dianapolis. In the same hall where he
received the nomination, the Academy
of Music, the people of the capital, and
numbers from surrounding counties,
met together to welcome Judge Orth
OH his return from his brief residence
abroad. The audience was immense
and enthusiastic, and the compliment
to our late Minister to Austria was one
of which he might well be proud. In
the appropriate and eloquent speech
which he made, he showed his high APP
probation of the grand ovation. In
speaking of the growth, prosperity and
beauty of the capital of Indiana. he said
that he had always liked the city,
ever since, many years ago, he
served in the Legislature, but he liked
it now in its wonderful growth more
than ever. In fact he was so much in
love with it that he was already max
ing his preparations to live in it during
the next four years. He will soon en-
ter on the canvass of the State, and the
men who have called him "kid-glove"
candidate to distinguish him from the
blue jeans of his competitor, will as
certain that his work will be done with
out gloves of any sort, though he will
dress respectfully, in way to show his
respect for the people of the State, and
without any display of that sort of
cheap demagoguery which expresses
and expends itself in the color and tex
ture of the coat that is worn. Some
how we prefer candidate and a Gov
ernOr whose dress is not the most no
ticeable quality of the man.
To ease the uneasiness of certain sup
porters of the Supreme court judges,
who were very anxious that Judge
Ortiz should resign his position as Min
lister to Austria, we state that he has
done SO. On arrival in the United
States, he went at once to Washington.
settled up his accounts and placed his
resignation in the Presidents hands.
Then and not till then he came on to
Indiana, to meet the welcome greeting
of his fellow citizens who propose to
make him Governor of the State.

We know of nothing more deplorable
in conduct of newspapers than the fact
that quite too often there is manifested
a complete lack of high toned sense OF
honor and common fairness. We are
fOrcibly reminded of it by an article in
| Saturdays Rochester Sentinel, which
is simply half column attack on the
editor of this paper, because he ventur-
ed to express the hope that Hon.
James n. Tyner would be nominated
for congress in our neighboring district.
We know Mr.. Tyner well; we know he
is a man of excellent ability, of ripe ex-
perience and rigid honesty. We saw
him attacked in a manner that we
knew was unjust towards him, and we
published a few words in his behalf.
We said not word against any other
candidate, and yet this acrid gentleman
whose very name betOkens the material
of which he is composed, accuses us of
entering ''into conspiracy with Tyner
to defeat Col. Shryock." The imputa-
ton is utterly baseless. If Mr.. Tyner
has done us the honor to read our hum
BILE article he could be nothing else
than surprised at its publication. Nor
was there a word in the article that
could be tortured into reflection upon
Col. Shryock, for whom we have only
the most kindly feelings, which we eX-
pressed through our columns only
short time since. Yet here comes this
man Bitters and charges us with vari-
Gus offenses which exist only in his own
imagination. The closing sentence of
his article assures us that he likes to
see ''honor among thieves" We should
like to see a spice of honor also among
that class of editors to which he be-
longs; but we expect to Idle without
the sight,

Republican ProsDpcts.

Never since | have been acquainted
with Marshall county, has there been
better prospect for a Republican
victory than there is now, and think
there never was "A change more need
ed than at the present time Let
every Republican in the county feel
it his bounden duty to attend the con-
tons and see that we have good,
honest, sober and upright men NOM
mated, and with such ticket as this,
and the undivided effort of the Re-
publicans, and the help that we may
get from that portion of the Demo-
Gratis who have the interest of our
county at heart, those that are tired
of nursing and being controlled by a
clique of bummers that can carry any
convention just as they wish, with
another set of red-eyed whisky sotts,
that don't pay any taxes, nor know
anything except the man who gets
them the most whisky. We surely
can root out portion of this cOrrup-
ton that we are SO sorely pressed
with. Let every Republican take
hold of this great work with ii will
and talk it up; for it is the interest
of all the voters in the county Let
every one see that his neighbor goes
to the polls and votes for right and
Justice Let Us make one grand eff
fort and the Lord will bless us.

Good Men i'm Office,

Put good men in office, and let all of
our best citizens take an active interest
in politics, 10y attending primary meet
ings and conventions and at the polls
on election days" This is the cry
raised by nearly all the great newspa-
pers of the day, and notably 10y the in
dependent papers. a splendid propo-
sItiOn, which, if carried out, must re-
form our dirty politics and general cor
ruption in office.
But these very newspapers are the
most potent obstacles. For let Mr..
Good Citizen once dare to run for office
OF indeed to make himself in any way
noted as a politician, and he finds his
reputation crucified instanter. SANDER
of the vilest kind purSueS him thence
forth. The very traits of character he
most prideS himself upon, the virtues
he most admireS are any ones but his.
He is thief, liar, peTjurer, drunkard
pimp, panderer, robber, murderer. If
he has money he doubtless earned it by
swindling. No sooner has Mr.. Good
Citizen raised his head above the gener-
eral level than he gets such raps on it
as causes him in most cases to speedily
pop it down. If he is combative and
continues to act, he has no longer the
reputation he once enjoyed. More than
half the fools believe he is bad man,
while the other half mildly consider
him las no better than he should be, -
and it is "A thousand to one, unless the
man is a very wise philosopher, he be-
comes demoralized. And until the
press shall be compelled, under some
stringent laws to quit the practice of
gibbeting every public mans reputa-
ton by SANDER, our government must
remain in the hands of bad men.
For good men aoiU not submit to 1t, if
they can possibly avoid it. No man
can be good man who prizes not his
reputation, and he cannot prize it long
when daily stains are cast upon it, no
more than people can be law-abiding
under laws that constantly impel them
to violation.-Ec Exchange.

Decoration Day

Once more this sad and glad day has
come and gone; and as we approach the
centennial of the nations birth, we
might well have brought double flo
raj offering with which to cover the
resting places of those who fell by the
wayside in order that we might witness
the beginning of new century Of ma
tional life. To the sleeping heroes
whose deeds have rendered them i'm
mortal, we owe it, that the nation did
not die, or was not rent asunder before
it reac ned its hundredth year of exis-
tence. The floral observance of the 30th
of May, occurs just when the year is
stepping into its summer beauty, and
this year it was when the nation was
just putting off its Spring of life, and
about to enter into the Summer man
hood it never would have reached had
it not been fer the noble self-sacrifice of
those who sleep beneath the blooming
sod which covers their inanimate dust.
This is year of rejoicing. 1t is the
nations grand jubilee. n century of
growth is upon us, growth such as no
other hundred years ever witnessed in
any other nation. We look back along
"a line of light, the track we have made
in history, and we do so with pardona-
BILE pride. And we look forward also;
and ''the morning light is breaking" "
there are higher and nobler ends to be
attained. And we rejoice in the prom
Use of the coming century. Then a
shadow falls athwart our hearts as we
think of those who died without the
sight, and whose death it was that gave
us our great privilege. And we bring
flowers and ''cover them over" We
strew the bright offerings with tender
hands, while'the tear-drop moistens the
eye. We gather up the sacred memo
ries of the dead and bind them on our
hearts; and then we reflect that the
blood of these martyrs is the seed of the
nation, ON which it shall live and grow
stronger and grander with revolving
years.
Thus do we weave our own humble
garland and lay it on the fiower-crOwn-
ed spot where repose the ashes of he
roes. Silently they sleep in their lonely
beds, yet their voices are clear and dis
tinct, as they urge us to high deeds and
aims, purer manhood, and truer ma
tiOnal grandeur This is the lesson
hold of a new century, and with such
mentors as these, we shall pass the por-
tai, and move on into the coming cen
fury with serene confidence.

General Crooks expedition against

General Crooks expedition against
the Northern Sioux left Fort Fetter-
man Monday morning, and will prob
ably reach old Fort Reno within four
days. 1t is believed on the frontier
that the expedition has undertaken a
much greater task than was thought
for when the campaign was planned.
The dissatisfaction among the Sioux
is becoming very general, and the in
fiuence of the old chiefs at the agen-
cies is rapidly waning. All the
young warriors have left Red Cloud
to join Sitting Bull "the bad" in the
Big Horn country; those at Spotted
Tail are expected to follow; and it is
feared that before many weeks all
the young braves of the nation will
be on the war-path. The situation is
considered extremely critical.

Merton the Coming Man.


That Morton is the coming man, no
careful observer of the signs of the
times can doubt. His ability is admit
ted; his loyalty is warm and constant:
his personal character for honesty and
integrity are above suspicion, and il
there is such a thing as reward and
punishment in politics, the Republican
party owes this preferment to Senator
Morton, who has been faithful Re-
publican III every crisis. He will have
more votes on the first ballot than any
candidate; he is the second choice OF
more delegates than any other man,
and if the convention were held to-day
he would be chosen. But his chances
improve, his friends grow i'll numbers
and in zeal each day, and it will be a
proud day for Indianians when oppor-
tunity will be given them To use his
name as rallying cry in the coming
campaign.

4 Cool Confederate Challenge.
From the Chicago Tribune.


The charge now is that under the
constitution, the General Government
had no right to pay, nor Gov. Morton
to receive, the $3.50, 600 in question.
We used TO hear deal of that sort
from the Copp ,rheads during the war
which IN toto they denounced as uncon-
stitutional. 1t seems we are to hear
more of it, if the Confederates in Con-
greSs are to investigate the conduct of
the war, unconstitutional disburSe-
ments of public moneys to exactly the
amount of the national debt will doubt
less be exposed. For the rest, the more
MortOn's record as the great war Coy
ernor is attacked the brighter will it
appear, for there is no flaw i'm it. The
only significant feature of the whole af-
fair is the cool Confederate challenging
of unconstitutional expenditure of
government funds in putting down the
rebellion. That will not be lost upon
the country.

Strange and Queer.

Newspapers get off funny things oc-
casionally, without ever suspecting that
they are funny. Not long ago the New
Orleans P,cdyune, abiding to the fact
that the street ears in that city did not
have conductors, stated that each pas
senger dropped his five cents into a box
prepared for its reception, thus cheer
fully and voluntarily paying the fare
without being called on for it by a con-
ductor, and then gives as reason for
this practice by the street car proprie-
tors, the greater honesty of the people,
so that they may readily be trusted,
while the people of cities north cannot
be thus trusted. If the fellow who
wrote the article had ever been any
where excer: i'll New Orleans he would
not have made such funny fool of
himself He will find in any city of the
north what are called in Chicago bob
tail" cars, everywhere except in Chica-
prevented their use, and insisted on
having conductors. The Picdyune man
would be surprised to know that con-
ductors are dispensed with not because
proprietors can surely trust the people
to pay, but because the conductors are
TOO much given to appropriating por
tion of the funds received from passen-
gers. 1t is not because of honesty, but
because of dishonesty that these cars
without conductors, are made use of.
Another funny thing lately appeared in
the Louisville ColTier-Journdl. 1t was
no less than the development of the
hideous fact that the Independent
national convention which recently as
sembled at indianapolis is a movement
that is managed by Republicans, that
the whole thing is the invention of
that wicked party for the purpose of ex-
ploding it at the proper time, and blow
ing upthe Democracy. This will be news
to the world, and to none more than to
our Independent friends.

The Goshen Democrat is certainly get
ting itself into embarrassment, that is
if the publication of falsehood for fact,
is ever embarrassing to it. Its last is
sue contains the following statement:
1t is reported that Gen. Grant has
given positive orders that no more pa
pers or books in the departments,
should be at the call of the investigat-
ing committees. We had a sort of
vague idea that when the investigation
reached the White House, some plan
would be adopted to stop it.
This charge against the President
was exploded at least a month ago.
Everybody, except the editor of the
Democrat, knew long ago that Grant
directed that copies of all papers called
for should be furnished, and that the
investigating committee should have
free access to any of the books in the
departments, and should be permitted
to compare the copies of papers fur
nished them with the originals to see
that they were correct. From the be-
ginning of the government original pa
pers and books have not been permit
ted out of the department. The same
rule prevails even in many county Off.

The story that appeared in the Wash
ington dispatches Monday, to the eff
feet that Speaker Kerr had received
money for procuring commission in
the regular army for a man named
Green, has dark look; but we say
without visitation that we do not be-
lieve the story at all, so far as it Is
made to affect the integrity of Mr..
Kerr. Our opinion is at present that
the peculiar features of the case which
make it look badly for Mr.. Kerr, are
pure inventions, put into circulation,
and sent out from Washington by the
INSCRIPTIONS scoundrels who make it
their business to defame and SANDER
men in public life. If however this
story is a rare exception, and shall
prove to be true, our regret and sor-
SOW will be the same in kind and de-
gree, as when Belknap fell.
Since the above was written. we re-
greet that the case has become still dark
er and it looks now as though the
charge is well-founded.

The Goshen Democrat, speaking of
the UNANIMOUSLY false and slanderous
article published in the Chicago Times
recently, asks, will the CHRONICLE
dispute the fact that the story is in har
mony with Morton's well known char
acter?" Most certainly we dispute and
deny it wholly, with all the emphasis
we can put into the denial. Every
such insinuation is foul SANDER, a
mean, low, cowardly. vulgar lie, that
disgraces and degrades the person who
utters it. The Democrat can answer
the question in the affirmative.

The indianapolis Sentinel furnishes
very happy name for the southern re-
bellion- 1t says it was inspired by "a
misguided sectional pat riotism. Then
the rebellion itself, the genuine resort
to arms was only an irregular explosion
of patriotism. We have genuine re-
gard for patriotism, but we distrust it
when it manifests itself in that form.

Republican Congressional Convention.

of the 18th Congressional district has
called convention to meet in the

No one has been named for the Of
flee, excepting Hon. John FL. Baker,

that the call for convention is pub

be other aspirants for the Office.

The indianapolis Sentinel tries to
deaden the effect of the charges against
the Democratic Supreme Judges by
hunting up the expenditures for furni-
ture i'm the residence of Gov. Morton
in 1853, and for postage expenditure
during his governship. All intelligent
persons know that the governor re-
ceived then salary of only $1,000, and
that by law his residence was furnished
for him by the State. All the expenses
of Gov Morton were audited by a COM
mittee, majority of which were DEM
ocrats, and were found all correct.
