Combines "GREAr WORK" IL IxDIANA.-There
have been several alusons to the mighty services of
Dir. COnkling in this State last fall, when he made
four speeches in which he never mentioned Mr. Por-
ter or Mr. Garfield when he could help il, and when
he could not, damned them with faint praise. We
willing at all times TO give hearty credit to any
man, hut do not believe in giving to any man
what belongs all men. II was the people who car

his performances had little effect upon the result,
and as much as hers had.-iadisnidpoiis NearS.

Ed CuIEF:-What is "GhouI," thar is always
spoken Of in accounts of grave robbericsi What do
they look like; and do they never do ANYTHING eN-
eept rob graves JoIIS- -ErHASET.
ANSWER. A Ghoul is the same as a Giaour.
They are eannibals, and eat dead human bodies.
Medical students arc called Ghouls, because
when they get hungry, in the dissecting-room,
they lunch on the choice bits of meat that they
carve from their subjects

reason for his sympathy with Conkling ''Robertson

it. Robertson 'preveuted my nomination = that is
what makes all this disturbance. lie made the third
term impossible; therefore. il is the duty of every
third-termer, from Grant down Gorham, to oppose
Robertson's advancement, even if they smash the
Republican party.

~ Kansas needs another Court, TO explain
and decide what the decisions of other Courts
really are. There have been two or three decis-
ions rendered by District Courts on the liquor
law, and now the papers are disputinG over
them, and trying to explain what the decisions
were. 1t will probably be the same way, when
the Supreme Court renders its opinion.

~ Grants good taste in speaking of President
Garfield shines forth luminously, in the following
observations to Pittsburg reporter, on Thursday:
Garfield is a without backbone-a man Of fine
ability, but lacking stamina He wants to please
everybody. and is afraid of inrurrng the enmty Of
the men who are around him. Il il sof DO Brady
and the Star Route thieves take that vicwf Do
Conkling and Platt take that view Haven't they
discovered all the stamina in him they for II
not, what is the matter

~ The rascalities being unearthed at Wash
ington, grew up and ran at full boom under the
pure and moral administration of Hayes. But
Republicans never hesitate to expose corruption
that exists in their own party. The administra-
tion of Garfield discovered and fired out the
gangs in the Post-oifice and Treasury Depart
ments, without any investigation or aid from
the Democrats. When was Democratic Ad
mnistratiOn ever known to do such a thing in
their partyf

D Gen. Grant earned a-wide reputation as
the silent man. but he is very likely to lose it
by his inordinate gab. With the balance of the
Third-termers, he takes to heart the refusal of
Garfield to be dictated to by Conkling and to
punish men who were prominent in strangling
the Third Term. He lets himself loose on every
occasion, and is making as poor job of it as his
son Fred. did, last year.
