POLITICAL NOTES.


abopt the Democratic triumvirs.
Perhaps it means Barnum. Blackburn,
and the ''bigger man than old Grant.
Clinton Exponent: With Morton for
President and Blaine for Vice Presi-
dent the Republican party would Sc
cure for itself the grandest victory ever
won. They both possess elements OF
snece that must not be ignored.
President Grant has stated to a friend
his intention of making tour of the
world at the expiration of his term of
Office. Probably no living American is
more widely known, or would receive
such marked attention and courtesy
abroad, as General and President U. ;.

We have it Cn trustworthy authority
that during the war honest Jimmy
Williams repeatedly refused to give his
prOmissOry note in business transac-
lions on the ground that he ''wouldn't
contribute so much as a revenue stamp
to The prosecution OF this Internal abO-
lition war. Ind. Journal.
The Terre Haute Journal calls on the
Democratic State committee to inves-
tigate the charges against the Supreme
Court, and if found true, that the tick
ct be remodeled. There is no question
of the truth of every statement made
in the Journal. The public records are
our authOrity.-Iad. journal.
Said the political snob, Charles Fran
is Adams, Jr, in the New York Con-
ference: What l most ask in this
Centennial year is, that I may stand
up and be counted Whereupon the
Graphic remarked: Very well, you've
stood up and been counted. You count
one. You are no more count than any
other MANI
The New York Iribepe says that
President Grant permitted himself to
be surrounded for seven years with all
manner of baseness and dishonesty"

tary BristOw.

The Republicans of Johnson county
held their county convention on the
9th at Franklin. The delegates met
at 10 O'Clock and nominated full Re
publican ticket of the best men in tie
county. At one O'Clock large aud en-
thusiastic mass meeting of the party
assembled at the court house to receive
the report of the delegates. which meet
ing was addressed in telling speeches
from Gen. Jasper Packard. of LaPorte,
and Col. ;. p. Oyler. of Franklin.
Troy Times: \ he 'Ocratic triumph
in the approaching presidential election
would bring TO the head and front of
affairs body of men who have proved
over and over again, their unworthi-
ness for public trusts-men whose
avowed sympathies are with the ''lost
cause" and who scarcely affect to con-
zeal the amnesty with which they re-
gard those who maintained the integri-
ty of the Union throughout the dread
full four years of blOOdShed and sacrifice
which eliminated at Appomattox.
We regret to see in several of our
Democratic exchanges a regular per-
version of Mr.. Orth's name, thus:

votes can be made by resorting to such
warfare.-LigoRier Banner.
The less the Democrats saw about
their shameful record during the late
civil war the better for them. Their
fellow-citizens are willing to forget the
particularly disgraceful part which they

The Public, independently is con-
strained to remark: Undoubtedly
there is a general impression that the
Democratic House has done rather too
much smelling and not enough work.
Figuratively speaking, the House wears
TOO much nose and too broad a grin for
perfect beauty. The Democrats will
lose ground if they show disposition |
to magnify faults into crimes. or to |
stretch investigation beyond the limit |
of justice and deceney. In many re-
cent performances that spirit has been
shown by some members of the party. |
and there are some symptoms already
of reaction in public opinion
The Logansport Star, which is |
Democratic paper, saws: I'VE have |
been waiting patiently to see some de-
Tense OF the Supreme Court to the |
charges made against them. The de-
Tense has not been made, and we now
fear 1t cannot he made. The members
Of the court who are accused must /
purge themselves or get off the tack. |
The charges were sufficiently explicit /
and grave to demand a speedy reply.
and 1t has not been made; we are there
fore forced to the painful conclusion
that it cannot be. The Central Com
mittee should at once demand their
withdrawal from the ticket"
