Comment by the State Press.
Muncie Times.


Muncie Times.
Bill Myers, the present Democratic Secretary
of State, is beginning to feel the effects of his
sculrilous letter and reference to Elk President
Hayes, and has received the first public rebuke
from his own party, in Madison county, his own
home. The Democrats of Madison county held
q convention on Thursday, the 14th. and repudi-
ated the Secretary in a very emphatic and bluff
manner This deserved rebuke is doubly cut
ting, coming. as it does, from his own home
where, it might be presumed, his friends were
most numerout and steadfast, and would stand
by him the longest.
BELIEVES THE EVIDENCE.
1ogansport journal.
Secretary of State Myers. supported by his
BOSS, Of the Sentinel denies the fact that ne was
repudiated by the Democratic convention of
Madison county. But the evidence comes so di-
rectly and so eonvincingly against the statement
Of the writer of courteous official letters that the
people prefer to accept the regular report of the
convention, corroborated by the local papers, to
he plain and interested denial of Captain Myers
IN THE INTEREST OF HARMONY.
Columbus Republican.
Secretary Myers and his friends are trying to
deny that he was rebuked by his county.
The foctS are that a resolution was introduced in
the convention indorsing his official acts and in
structing delegates to vote for his denomination
This raised such a storm of opposition that the
author finally withdrew it, as he said ''in the in
erest of harmony" and without vote being
aiken.
REPUDIATED AT HOME
Richmond Palladium.
There have been a few sporadic cases of Dem
lcratic organs attempting to defend Secretary of
State Myers's disgraceful letter about ex- Presi-
dent Hayes. All the attempts have been feeble
and unavailing, and appear very weak in view of
the fact that the Democracy at Anderson. Mr.
Myerss old home has repudiated him and refused
10 indorse his Smart Alexism.

vetoed the bill reapportioning the representation

The fatal accident along the shore Of
Lake Michigan, by which contractor and
eight men were drowned while engaged in
the Chicago tunnel construction. reads
from late telegram like horrible night
mare That while the storm was at its
height the waves should have carried their
house into the boiling lake. That men
clinging to timbers should have been torn
by the waves with such terrible force from
any anchorage they may have chosen.
That wind and water alike should combine
to wrench them from their hold and takes
them from any refuge near, seems painfully
unreal. Yet in fact it was frightful and
real emergency happening last Wednesday,
but reading like sea story that Russell
might have depicted in the fearful cruise
of his 'Iady Maude." aat
