pOLITICAL POINTS.


Cleveland and Hendricks are
good enough for Indiana Democrats, as
Blaine and his gang of plunderers VIII
find out to their sorrow in November.
The National Republican Com
mittee has issued a circular calling for
contributions. All, now the
poor Government employees will catch
it!

candidate for V1ce-P President, has COM

pie will move him next November to

Evidences multiply that the coun-
try is ripe for change. 1t demands
better government. That can only ba
had by change of executive and civil
service system. In short. the supreme
demand is purer administration of the
Government--Indiana Sentinel.
So far as Blaine's nomination
concerns himself it was the mistake Of
his life. He could better have afforded
to go down into history wrapped in the
drapery of Garfeld's memory, than to
be known to future generations as the
defeated tattooed candidate for the
Presidency. Richmond ia State.
The Republican party will cele-
brate its thir.ieth anniversary next
month. John A. Logan should be
present and give bit of his early

Some of the fault finding Repub-
lican papers are grieved because Gov
ernor Cleveland does not resign his
Office. Mr.. Cleveland has learned
something from Blaine's experience.
The last Office Blaine held he resigned,
and he has been out of a job eveI

says: .Mr. Cleveland's strength as /

his straightforward business methods
his exceptional standing with the inde

ability to inspire people with the be
lief that he means to serve his party b,
serving his country and not otherwise
The work of collecting money
from Government employees goes righ
on. This matter is chiefly noticeable
because the practice of thus raising
campaign funds is in fragrant disregars
of every profession of the party which
is engaged in it, and because it illus
trates the hollowness of Republical
promises. What is the value of part,
pledges which bind their authors not
