THE STATE PRESS.


The Bloomington Courier has this to say
concerning one of the cleyerest gentlemen
in the State:
We notice that some papers In this district
have been nominating Judge John G. Robin

1876 the judge could have had the nomination
for congress by simply SAYING 50. and there is
phantiy elected. Judge Robinson is no doubt
very well satisfied where he is, and we are
with him as public officer and citizen.
The Portland Weekly Sun says:
A short time ago a policeman in Indianapo-
lis arrested man for drunkenness. The ar

rebel etc. No. they reserve such things for
similar cases that happen in the South.
The Republican papers are too busy look
ing after Mississippi matters to worry them
selves concerning poor fellow shot down
| by policeman at home.
The New Harmony Register straightens
out the Evansville Journal handsomely

party of that portion of the country to get rid

United States with the transaction.
The Republican papers have not been

murder Kslloch.
The Michigan City Enterprise takes the
| following from the Madison Courier, which
! Is q clear cut, unadulterated lie, and the
Sentinel has SO pronounced it:

1t is, trough, because it is lie.
The Fort Wayne Sentinel says:
The practical workings of the Grubhs' libel
law are producing feeling of intense disgust

The Dollar Press:
General Morton G. Hunter was in the city on
yesterday. 1t is given out that he has guber-
| the shoes now worn by his cerulean excellen-
| cy. 1t will take "more ADLER man" than
Hunter to fill them.
Hunters harangue at the reunion of SOL
diers at Madison recently ought to use up
any aspirations that he may have for any
office. On this point the Corydon Democrat
says:
1t is reported that General Morton c. Hunter
so far violated the confidence of the soldiers at
the reunion at Madison last week as to make
a bitter partisan haIangue. II this is true IL
| every soldier in the land. If these reunions OF
the country's defenders are gotten up in the
interest of any political party, the sooner it is
| known the better. But we opine that General
| Hunter, If his speech was as reported, will find
his course condemned by every soldier in In
| diana, regardless OF politics.
The Brazil Mirror thus kills two journal
istic birds with one stone:
The Indianapolis Journal defies the "pro-
duction of proof that any Democrat was ever
prevented from depositfng his ballot by a
shall, anywhere in the United States" The
evidence will never be produced. except in the
lying statements OF such papers as the Mirror
Yes we do: We know know Of an OLD man, now
Dublin, Wayne county, this State, who was
ridden on rail by a party of silly women,
VINO were aided ana encouraged by q pack OF
soldiers who We're disgrace TO any country
The old man was shamefully treated, but not
single one of the perpetrators of the crime
ever received the slightest punishment
neither the soldiers or the women.
And in addition, John Davenport, election
supervisor of New York City, last fall ar
rested about 5000 citizens upon divers
| flimsy excuses Many of them were moi
the boldest outrages ever perpetrated upon
an election day. The evidence brought to
light in the Investigation afterward ought to
prove that We have no use for Federal super
visors at the polls.
The Kokomo Tribune says:
The indianapolis Herald calls the yellow
fever governor of Kentucky, DIR. Luke P
Blackvomit.
Yes; but in the succeeding issue the Her

SO murderous q scheme.
The Tribune also says:
1t is understood that Senator Lamar, of Mis-
sissippi, indorses the killing of Captain Dixon
| at Yazoo. At least he has not opened hi
mouth in condemnation of the murder.
We believe our friends of the Tribune d.
not intend to do Senator Lamar injustice
The senator wasinterviewed by q correspon
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial within
day or two after the killing of Dixon, AM
Mr. Lamar was reported in the dispatch Il
the Commercial as follows:
