THE PEELLE-ENGJSH CASE.
HOLDS AN EMBEzzLED SEAT.

HOLDS AN EMBEzzLED
Worthington Times.
Young Mr.. English holds an embezzelcd seat
one that cannot honor him, bat one that ought
and will eternally politically damn him. Now
Stanton j. Peelle was elected to Congress by
the legal voters of the indianapolis diStrict-his
majority being eighty-seven votes. Yet a Demo
cratic reform Congress gives his seat to Mr..
English, who is no moro entitled to it than the
lowest, vile hummer in the district. He will
rise in the estimation of the people, while En-
glish will sink into utter insigniicance. We
predict the voters of the indianapolis district
viii return Mr. Peelle to Congress- next Novem,
Der by a handsome majority, asa rebuke to old
Bill English and his son-at least we hope so.
THE LOBBYING SCANDAL.
Wabash Plain Dealer.
Some good will be accomplished by the inves
tiSation of English pere, in calling attention to
an abuse entirely too common EX-members Of
Congress, who have the privilege of the floor, &C
cept retainers from parties desiring legislation,
and practice a system that is disgraceful. There
is a rule against lobbying after this style, but it
is never enforced.
MIR. ENGLISH WILL BE ACQUITTED.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The country will acquit the elder English Of
employing corrupt agencies to secure Peelles
seat i'll the House for his son. if by corrupt
agencies" is meant money. He would see his
son squeal for that seat till he was as old as Me-
thuselah before he would squander a cool thou
sand dollars to obtain it for him.
WILL FOLLOW HIS FATHER
Kokomo Gazette-Tribuue
A Washington letter to the Charleston, IS. c.
News says that Bill English, ST, is out Of poll
tics. That may he news to the Southern people,
but here in Indiana the fact was discovered years
ago. Bill. jr, will follow his father after March
q, of next year. The people of Indiana have no
love for the poor mans friend"
NOT A POPULAR REFORM
Jacksonville Gazette.
the general tenor of the comments of theprcss
relative to the seating of Bill English in the
place which belonged to Stanton j. Peelle is
anything but complimentary to that gentleman,
to his father, or to the means used by them in
accomplishing that end. That reform move
ment at least was not popular,
WILL SOME ONE NAME HIS MAJORITY.
Logansport Journal.
Since William f. English has been declared
elected to Congress the question arises. What
was his maiority?' If he was elected, he had a
majority. What was it? 1t is a simple ques-
ton. VIII some Of our wise Democratic con
temporaries please answer!
COMPLIMENT TO THE POWER OF MONEY.
Brazil REGISTER.
The English-Peelle contest case has been de-
cided in favor of English. Notwithstanding the
pliment to the almighty dollar in politics which
the outraged Indianapolis district will not be
slow to resent by re collecting Peelle.
THE ENGLISH HERE AND IN THE soUDAN.
Muncie News.
Whether the English are to be defeated in
Soudan or not, we do not know, but they are
just as likely to be Peeled in Indiana this fall
until they will hardly be recognized by their
nearest and deares relatives.
LET a MENTOR DE APPOINTED.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
Now that the Democrats have seated young
English at the expense Of honest, fair dealing,
they should appint a Mentor for him, that he
may be made useful during his brief term in the
House.
MIR. ENGLISH NOT CHARGED WITH 1T.
Elkhart Review.
1t was a false modesty or abnormal sense of
honor which prevented Representative Peele, of
the indianapolis district. from voting for himself
in the contest over his seat.
