CURRENT COMMENT.
MoRToN's Cow-ARDIcE.
Evansville Courierl
Morton fed his COW at the states ex-
pense. The fact is, that although he was
a very great war governor, there are
great many evidences of his cow-srdice.
TERRIBLY RECKLESS.
Warren independent
The Indianapolis Sentinel is publishing
MoFton's war record, and 1t looks as if
the "grest war governor" was terribly
reckless in expending the peoples money
for bis own private use.
DAMAGING cRooKEDNEss.
[MartinsviIle Gazette.l
The Indianapolis Sentinel is publishing
some very damaging "crookedness"
against o. p. Morton 81 Co. The matter
should be printed in pamphlet form and
sown broadcast among the people. The
State Central Committee should attend to
this important affair.
RxTRAvAGANT BILLS.
Lebanon Pioneer.l
The Indianapolis Sentinel published
some extravagsnt bills of account, paid by
the state OF Indians, for the benefit of Gov.
governors house was paid out of the state
treasury, and others OF equal dishonesty
were published to the world. And vet
this is the man whose official record can
not be assailed, so says the Journal.
MoRToN's TURN.
philadelphia Times.l
It's Morton's turn again now, and he
has been consigned to the Republican pres
;Naotiol v;IiOrv baoanco ba x-o,la L.. !.
cow when governor of Indiana, and would
have fires IN the executive mansion, and
would have broken glass and furniture re-
paired, and would call in stray thinkers to
patch the state kettles and pans, and paid
these bills out of the public treasure.
HOW THEY STAND.
Cincinnati Enauirer.l
A well informed Kentucky politician
says that the Democratic delegation from
that state to the ST. Louis Convention will
stand seventeen for greenpacks, seven for
hard money, six for Tilden, one doubtful,
and seventeen for Western candidate.
There isn't much comfort In that for the
aspiring gentlemen who have placed them
selves at the head of the delegation for the
purpose of selling the state to Sam Tilden.
HENDRICKS MUCH ENCOURAGED.
tQuincy Whig.l
1t is estimated that, since the Ohio and
Kansas Conventions, Hendricks and his
friends are much encouraged. They count
on the Allen strength in Ohio and the en- =
tire Kansas strength as for him, and look
for help from all the states that hereafter
go in the same direction fnsE cislly. In
spite of themselves, the Democrats are to
find their ground for union or division in
The firancial question,
PETERIne OUT.
cleveland Plsindeaier.l
The Cincinnati Commercial says that
Morton will be dropped from considers-
ton at Cincinnati. Probably the CONNER
cial made this observation after lighting
upon the Indianapolis Sentinel's discovery
tnat Morton's COW feed wss paid for out
OF the general fund while be was governor
of Indiana. Iris is little the worst yet.
Beside this performance Bristow's little
operation in pork on he hoof was a
picsyune affair. Morton's "war record"
is peteriDg out.
A SACRIFICE INVOLVED.
Rochester Union.l
The Indianapolis Sentinel Dem.) is
very severe upon the Louisville Courier
Journal for what 1t characterizss as its
treachery to the West in proposing to
"throw Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana"
away in all calculations for Democratic
success In the coming November elections;
and it makes the point that aside from the
presidential vote, such conrse involves a
sacrifice of the congressional districts and
a probable loss OF the House Of Representa-
tiv, s.
DAMAGING STORIES.
TNartinsyflle Gazette1
"General Fund.-" through the columns
OF the Indianapolis Sentinel, is telling
some very damaging stories about Repub-
licsn financial crookedness. Ope item
charges 81 ,343 SO 10 Gov. Nor. on for one
winters fuel expenses. Another says he
fed his cow and bought a wheelbsrrow at
the expense of the state. Think of that,
laboring men; you who earn only $500 or
5000 q year, and out OF that have TO pay
rent, buy clothing, food, fuel, etc.. while
sour noble wsr governor" Oliver p. Nor
ton, spends 81, ,343 SO for the single item of
fuel, and that, too, at the expense OF the

WORSE THAN BUrTERMILK.
Lafayette Dlspatch.l
Our readers will find some rich reading
in the Washington letter to the Chicago
Times, which we publish to-day. Senator
Morton aud Minister Orth will have fine
opportunity to rise and explain, II, as h
supposed will be the case, q committee of
investigation shall be appointed to look
into this Venezuelan speculation. It has
long been reported that large amount of
these fraudulent Venezuelan bonds are
held in this city by the particular friends
of Mr.. Ortb, for whose benefit 1t is not
difficult to imagine. By all means let the
investigation be had, and let certain gen.
tlemen OF this city be sent for, who we
think will be able to throw q food of light.
