OPINIONS OF THE STATE PRESS.
The Nashville Jacksonian saws:

We suppose that trick OF fraud that the Re
publican party ever attempted TO play on the peO
| pie has been thoroughly exposed. and so injuri-
ously turned upon its projectors as the trick con
taiu ed in the proposition to keep the prohibition
and female suffrage amendments out OF politics
| have understood that the next Legislature should
agree TO them 50 as To give the people chance to
vote on them. That was a mean sche me, and
would have been very fortunate for the Republi-
can party IL it had been successful Bat sensible
men could not see why ihey should ignore two
of these most important Questions before then,
| and the trick did not work.
The JackSonian also says:
At the election in 1880 the Republican party
/ succeeded in this STATE mainly by the use OF
money. Thousands of ReHu0li ans were indifei-
ent and had to be paid for voting. Indeed they
had been bought for years, aud had come to the
/ conclusion that they would not vote without
/ money. Many persons, who il not induced by
bibes would have voted the Democratic ticket
for money voted the Republican ticket All these
persons have been educated TO vote for money (;
aud If Republicans co not furnish the money,
they will either not vote AZ all. vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. Money will not be so plenty This
fall, there being no President, Governor, etc. to
elect. The Government Treasury viii not shell
out as II did two years ago The honest Republi
cans are getting tired aud lick of this wicked use
OF money at elections. They wont stand IL much
longer. better day seems to be dawniug, which
Eneans Democratic success.
The Michigan City Dispatch says:
There is a great difference just now apparent be-
tween the columns of the Sentinel and the Jour al
of Indianapolis; the former is chOck\ full of ex-
tracts from that paper ard this correspondent all
buIdened with one refrain-the virtues Of some
lavorite candidate The Journal. on The other
hand, has little or nothing say in favor of any
distinguished member OF its party who may have
official aspirations. IL may be justly assumed
that the mental activity prevailing the country
editor and the country correspondent, whose ar
ticles take up much space the Sentinel is the
result of conviction that the Democratic party has
something more than fighting show for victory
in November, and il msy also be inferred that the
County Districts are intent on having show in
MAXI 6 the ticket thai they will be exp cted To
vote for. Whether the 'Quetudc reg ing IN the
columns of the Journal indicates fear. u desire
To xciude public opiniOn from preston on the
matter OF candidates, or whether il is merely the
result OF Republican apathy. we do not care TO
consider at present. In States, in The Federal
Union of States, locl pride and local Interests
have always u be consulted in tn maintenance
of harmonious development OF central idea.
The New Albany Press says:

The Huntington Democrat says:
