to Reviving the Old Ticket.
Logansport Pharos (Dem.J
1t is now too late to avenge the frauds OF
1876 Many OF the men who helped perpe-
trate them are dead or in the penitentiary.
Mcdonald or Thurman must be relied upon
to bring those implicated, who survive, to
judgment. Hon. Joseph L. Mcdonald has
an uhassailable political record, and since
his candidacy for the presidency meets with
great favor among Democrats all over the
Union, there should be no lack of harmony
among Indiana Democrats in giving to Hon.
Joseph L. Mcdonald enthusiastic support.
CANNOT TOLERATE ANY MORE EMoNKEY-BUsINEss.
Yincennes sun (Dem.1
To be plain and frank about the whole
matter, the Indiana Democracy cannot afford
to tolerate any more "monkey-busineSs," as
they have in the past and notably at the
Cincinnati convention in 1880. The choice
OF the whole country was seen early in the
deliberations of that body, but there was an
obstruction. Now, when the strangled voice
of the masses is again being heard, from the
same source comes another attempted OBJ
struction. Will the Hooser Democracy per-
nit themselves to be misled or divided in the
coming convention. Heretofore for twenty
years they have been unwavering and true
to the standard of Mr.. Hendricks, even when
better judgment led them to expect defeat.
Every consideration of gratitude now be-

at least, the fidelity that has been shown Mr..
Hendricks and proved in so many disastrous
campaigns If there be any virtue in con-
stancy, and if virtue has its reward, then
should the adherents OF old the idea come to
the aid of the new.
NOT To BE MADE LIGHT OF.
Richmond Palladium.
The effect, in the ranks of his party COM
petitors is like that caused by throwing a
stone amongst a flock of partridges. The
Democratic politicians and papers are thun-
derstruck by the frank expressions of Mr..
H., and by this rude interference with the
numerous "booms" that are being so care
fully arranged for other aspirants, Particu-
larly are the Mcdonald men terror-stricken.
They read in this outgying, the determina-
ton to defeat Mr. Med at all hazards even
though MIR. Hendricks himself should be
buried in the ruins OF the temple. A few of
the Democratic papers ridicue the idea of
the denomination of the old ticket, but the
fact that large number of Indiana papers
have come out for it shows that Tilden's
barrel and Hendricks's shrewdness are not
to be made light of.
IT IS MR.. HENDRICKss DIRTHRIGHT.
Lafayette Journal.
Shall Mr.. Hendricks be deprived of this
sole remaining solace of his declining years?
Perish the thought. Rather let black dis
cord break the iron gates of Democratic fam
lily harmony. Mr.. Hendricks is not to be
robbed of his lifelong honors in this uncere-
monious manner, and we confidently predict
that when the Democratic hosts are marshaed
in convention to save the country" Indi-
anas banner will bear this legend: For
President Thomas A. Hendricks Indiana's
fayorite son."
DID NOT WANT IT PRINTED; OH, mol
Logansport Journal
0f nourea Mr. HandripES did NOT wa nt bis
interview printed, Oh, no! He only wanted
to express his opinion to his old friend
more nor less. Yet the well-known fact Of
Mr. Turpen being one of the most eager of
newspaper men for such a sensational item.
seems to have had little weight with the Old
Man Eloquent.
HENDRICKS HAS DESTROYED HIMSELF
Madison Courier.
These friends of the ex-Governor's will be
mortified indeed to learn that the conversa-
ton with Turpen was a genuine one, and
that Mr.. Hendricks really enunciated the
sentiments attributed to him. To compass
the defeat of Mcdonald, Hendricks has de-
stroyed himself

NO APOLOGY FOR HENDRIcKs's ACTION.

Mr.. Hendricks has placed himself in
strange attitudes before the country, and the
