The joint debate between Porter and
Landers, the rival candidates for Governor
in Indiana, does not seem to have gratified
the Democrats much. The New ALBANY
Ledger-standard, Democratic paper, SAYS
of it: Every Democrat who heard anv of
the debates felt sorry for his party. Land
ers is nc sort of match for Porter in de-
bate. F. rter made the wrong side seem the
better, Willie Landers butchered the kings
English; aimlessly wandered and foundered
about, AID ruined a good cause, made him
self laughing stock, and humiliated those
who attempted to bolster him up to save the
Democratic banner from trailing in the
dust. Let us hear no more of the silly brag
and buster about Landers desiring thirteen
more bates with Porter. He has had
thirteen too many for his own good and en-
tirely too many to please Democrats"

A Partial List of Democratic De-
faulterS.

A Partial List of Democratic De-
faulters.
The Democratic orator, organ and plat
form, deal in wholesale assertion that Repub-
lican officials are corrupt and rob the govern
ment of its revenues as defaulters They fail
however to sustain their assertions by facts
and figures. 1t has been some years since the
Democrats were in full power, but the follow
ing cases of defaulters have been picked out
from 1880 to 1861, chiefly of Democratic ori-
gin:

Mr.. Simeon Tietseii, of Saugerties, N. Y, had

entire treatment was eminently successful, and
Mr.. Tietsells recovery was rapid and perfect.
While "Fsvorite Remedy is specific in all Kid

cases of Bilious Disorders, Constipation of the Bow

from the constitutions of women. Try it. Your

Would it be Safe?

Rights from which secession sprung?
Would it be safe to return to power party
which to-day is ruled as with a rod of iron by
its Southern wing especially when it is re-

to the memory of Lee and jackson, and the
ideas for which Lee and Jackson fought?
Would it be safe to return to power party
which to day is in league with all the elements
in the country whose influence is thrown
against honest money and therefore against
the common welfare?
Would it be safe to return to power party
whose return to power is the sole hope of the
owners of rebel claims aggregating over bill
lion of dollars?
Would it be safe to return to power party
which has just done its best to vindicate that
dime edition of Tweed, DR.. Alonzo Garcelon?
Would it be safe to return to power party,
which, all unrebuked by any of It's mouthpeces

before the country as the tail of the Maine

Would it be safe to retarn to power a party
which relies largely for its success upon major

Would it be safe to return party to power
which has nominated a man for President who
is palpably untitled by taste, education or ca

fore, ii elected, would only succeed in being a
superb figure-head?
Would it be safe to return party to power
which favors tariff which is blow between
the eyes for every American workman?
Would it be safe to return party to power
which signalized its resumption of control in
Congress by calling rebel ldiers to the front,
sending Union soldiers to the rear, and by en-
deavoring to starve the country to death?
Would it be safe to return party to power
which during the past twenty years has been
little else than an able nuisance, aud whose as
sets at the present time consist Of little else
than colossal appetite?
Would it be safe to return to power party
which has 10 word of condemnation for the
Albany Argus for its infamous article coarsely
assailing the Grand Army of the Republic

A TELEGRAM from Pittsburg, Pennsyl-

Democrats made great boast of 'foppers'
as officers of their meeting on Saturday
night. To-day many of the alleged floppers
are fastening as fast as possible to indig-
nantly repudiate the claim that they have
Topped. Others of the list have been

there is not one who has a straight Republi-
can record WHO has not already repudiated
