Gall, at the HOosier People.
NO JUSTICE IN INDIANA.
lSt Louis Republican,
On the ground that he could not get u.s.
tice in Indiana" Mr.. Blaine asks that his
suit for libel against the indianapolis Senti-
mel be dismissed. This is q sad reflection on
the courts and people of the Hoosier State;
but, then, 10 must bs remembered that Indi-
ana went Democratic. Tatt0Oed men do not
much good in Democratic States-at
least, not this year.
he HAS HIS LIFE
(Cbicago News.l
Mr. Blaine has Formally Withdrawn his
suit for libel against the Indianapolis SEN
tinei, saying that he deems it impossible TO
get a fair trial, and therefore it Is idle to go
through the trouble aud annoyance Of trial.
This is the same James G. Blaine. the piumed
knight who telegraDhed Ben Harrison tn be-
gin the suit and who closed his telegram
gitn the dramatic declaration that he would
defend the honor of his family with his life.
HE DID NOT TRY FOR JUSTICE.
indianapolis News Qnd.).l
When Mr. Blaine brought his libel iuit
we thought ii was the best thing he could
do, believing il was brought for the purpose
of making trial OF the question. In the
light of the dismissal of the suit we think
the bringing of it the worst thing he could
have done His manner OF dismissal all
may judge of from his letter, which we laid
before our readers yeste rday. For ourselves,
we think this also unfortunate. He iDjects
into the belly OF much beautiful rhetoric q
stump speech about not being able to obtain
justica In Indiana. We remind him that be
