A soldiers Vievt 0f tiie Situation
EDS. HERALD:
l am constant reader Of your valuable
paper; and strictly adhere to the political
doctrines of Republicanism as set forth
In your paper; and, in view of the above
facts, l respectfully ask favor at your
hands, by way of inserting a few words
from me to my soldier comrades of 1861
and 1865: 49,
Soldiers, I appeal to you this day to
calmly view the situation, read carefully
every act Of Congress for the last seventy
days and learn your sure fate, provided
the the "Confeds'' succeed in their de-
sired end: to rupture and dissolve this,
our beloved country; the land you and 1
fought to preserve, while Senator Thur
man, of Ohio, was sending greetings to
his Southern brethren, declaring the pur-
poses Of his army of 100000; and the
''tall sycamore of Indiana, Dan. w.
Voorhees,, now Senator in Congress, was
making his traitorous speeches in South
ern Indiana, declaring on more that one
occasion that the war was a failure, and
branding you as t'Lincoln hirelings." 1
remember well, on one occasion, at Sey-
mouF, Ind, in 1862, when you and were
marching to the battles front, scOrching
beneath the rays of Southern sun, that
lReneral gentleman said, with all the bonn
bastic treason of his heart, that were itin
his power, he would take, or drive, every
Union soldier to the nearest blacksmith s
shop and place about their neeks an iron
collar, with the inscription thereon: ga.
Lincoln; my dog" Soldiers, don't you
all remember this? OF course you do.
But we are too quick to forget, and es-
pecially are we convinced of this, when
we see that same spirit cropping out with
far more vindictiveness, and more tine
tured with traitorous threats than six
teen years ago-Only in a different form.
Then, they proposed to fight; now they
propose to legislate. Hayes is their only
barrier. Let us thank God, and take
courage.
In conclusion, my brother soldiers, lei
us once more lay aside all our former diff
ferences, whatever they may be, and
adopt the only true remedy: to vote now
as we shot then. These are serious mat
ters, which have been forced upon us lei
us, therefore, carefully consider our fu-
ture destiny. How we love to think Of
and how proud we are of this old Union,
the grandest and most glorious of all the
earth. Then let us, pray you, watch
over it and protect 1t against this rebel
yell, as we did HRder Grant and Sher-
man; and, IN all coming time, letthe echo
of the s'sOlid South'' be returned with
a solid North in favor of the Union ant
the rights of all the people.

THE best Interests of the country require
that both John Sherman and Gen. Gar
field should for the present be continued
in the official positions they now hold. Not
but what their places might be filled with
good competent men, but they are well
known to the whole country, and have
been thoroughly tried and have proven
themselves to be the right men in the right
place. The time will come, however, we
apprehend, when the people of this gov
ernment will say "well done good and
faithful servant; step up little higher
Either of them would make a good Gov
ernOr, but we have other good men who
are not holding official positions, who
would also make good Governors, and
would it not be the better policy to take
some one of these men for Governor at the
approaching State Convention, and allow
Sherman and Garfield to continue to serve
the country in those places they have Sc
ably and so acceptably filed, at least fol
the present?

Lo! the poor Indian! When he goes
home to his cherries wigwam in the even
ing, he has no dime novel with which to
while away the weary hours; no friend
next door to come in and talk politics; no
medical almanacs to read no money in a
safe for masked robbers to break in. and
steal-no civilized pleasures of this kind.
He simply hangs up the bloody scalps he
has captured during the day, beats his
squaw with club, wraps buffalo robe
around him and lays down to pleasant
dreams. If pale face comes within half
mile of his wigwam, the slumbering
man snuffs him afar, awakes, and goes
and shoots him full of arrows.

After our own feIlow-citizen as the
Republican candidate for Governor
Hon. Mills Gardner-there is no doubt
but what Judge Taft is the choice of the
Republicans of this county. Mr.. Gard
ner has had great deal of experience in
public life, having served the people well
and truly in both branches of the State
Legislature, and later. one term in con-
gress. His record is one that recommends
him to the people for high official position,
and with due respect to the claims and
competency of other gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned in connection
with the Gubernatorial nomination, we
are confident that none of them have SUI
perior claims or would fill the position
more acceptably to the people of the
State than would Hon. Mills Gardner
Fdyette County Herald.
| Our private opinion is that Hon. Mills
Gardner is as strong man as the Re
! publicans can find in the State. We be-
lieve he could carry Jackson county by
