government has right to say to the lawless
community, or State, You shall respect the
the trainers of the constitution had in view.
This is what the Republican party has been
striving for, and this is what it will achieve
before its mission is ended.
Disowned by the Prohibitionists.
Vernon Banner.
The Prohibition candidate for Governor of
Ohio boasts that they defeated the Repub-
lican party, but says, regretfully, that it
cost them a good deal of money. 1t is
these dishonest rascals that make all intelli-
gent men consider Prohibitionists a party
without principles and only seeking no.
toriety for pretended virtues. Real temper
ance men are disguised with them, and con-
slider it disgrace to be called Prohibition
lists.
The Prohibition Mistake.
Lebanon Patriot
The Prohibitionists of Ohio have commit
ted most egregious error and have alien
ated hundreds of men whose sympathies
were with the temperance cause Will In
diana Prohibitionists ruin all hope OF any
effective action for temperance by turning
their back upon their only friends? Surely
there is too much fidelity to the temperance
cause in their hearts to thus play into the
hands of their enemy.
Valueless to Humanity.
Brookville American.
The foolish dog that bays the moon is
worth as much to humanity as a narrow
minded soulless politician who can say
nothing in behalf of the negro because his
skin in black, though he and his ancestors
served their Democratic masters in the
South fer hundreds of years with fidelity
prior to the day that they were liberated
from bondage by Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation.
The Republican Farty Will Protect Equal
Rights.
Columbus Republican.
All the rights and privileges that the negro
has as man were given to him by the Re-
publican party, and he may depend on that
party to stand by its record. If by common
consent the negroes are protected i'll their
rights as citizens all will be we'll, butlf they
are not. then the Republican party will see
that such measures are enacted as will secure
those rights.
Democracy Responsible for No Appropria-
tiOns.
Huntington Herald
The blame for the present condition of
affairs, in which the State is left without
money to support the charitable Institutions
rests with the Democratic members of that
bob-tail body, and no amount of squirming
the responsibility. The Republican party
is ready to go before the people on its
record
Republican Duty Toward Civil Rights.
Lafayette Journal
The late action of the Supreme Court has
again called into prominence the civil-rghts
issue, which the Republican party had in
tended to settle. Since the unfortunate de-
cision the duty is laid upon the Republican
party of meeting the question raised, and of
determining it in the interest of the colored
people, and in accordance with the princi piles
proclaimed by it from its earliest organiza-
ton.
The Republican Party the Only Friend of
temperance.
Clay County Enterprise.
Temperance will never succeed except
through the success of the Republican party,
and by the legitimate workings of the party
policy in general. AS a political question in
Indiana, it WILL always defeat the party that
carries it, and every such defeat puts tenn
perance further in the background and gives
renewed strength to the whisky element
Free-Trade Case in Point.
Richmond Palladium.
The attention of the able free traders is
called to a peculiar state of affairs now exist
ing in the northern part of their idolized
free-trade England. The steel industry,
which is very large there. is suffering very
greatly because of German competition, and
thousands of workmen are being discharged.
Perhaps those workers in steel would not
object to little protection.
For Local Prohibition,
Winchester Herald.
Let the constitution be so amended so that
the voters may have a right to say by a ma
nf hpir hal ho faO t1,pa
and sale of liquors shall be prohibited in any
township or county that so declares and we
venture to say that it will be but a short
time until nine-tenths of the State would be
free from the greatest curse that afflicts the
people.
Favors Abolishins the Internal Revenue.
Logansport Pharos (Dem.)
Should the internal revenue system of
raising revenue be abolished next winter,
it will result in throwing a vast concourse
of officeholders into the uHcongenial sphere
of private life. But it must come TO this
sooner or later When the nation is out OF
debt we will have no need of internal tax
gatherers
Prohibition a Hopeless Struggle.
addison Courier.
The fact of the liquor element deserving
the Republican party should not cause us to
lose our heads and engage in retaliatory
measures We regard a fight for prohibition
as hopeless struggle for MANY years. We
are opposed to the Republican party in Indi-
ana committing suicide by tempting it,
Republicanism Not Bummerism
Brazil Register.
The Republican party is not party OF
'slums'' and "bummers," and if it is to be
guided safely through the coming national
campaign it will be along the elevated high
way OF moral and political reform over which
it has travelled so gloronsly since the begin
ming of its illustrious career
