DISGRACED AND REPUDIATED.
The Condition of Secretary of State Myers
Because of His Little Letter.
A MOST FITTING REBUKE.

Rockville Republican.
We presume it is safe to say that Secretary Of
State Myers is now thoroughly convinced that
he made the great mistake of his life in his vain
attempt to iniure the reputation of ex- President
Hayes On Monday last the Democracy of his
county (MadisOn met in convention, when reso-
buttons were introduced indorsing his official
course, and instructing the delegates to the
State convention to vote for his denomination
TO this loud and earnest objections were Of
tered, so much so that it became necessary to
refer the resolutions to a committee, in whose
hands they now sleep the sleep that knows no
waking This was indeed, most fitting re
buke to a malignant and blatant demagogue
and one which speaks we'll for the Democracy Of
Madison county.
PROBABLY SICK OF THE BUSINESS
Spencer Republican.
1t is likely that Myers would be glad for the
papers to drop the subject He is probably
sicker of that assinine performance than any
other fool act he never did and has heartily
repented of his folly But let the discussion 90
on and let him get sick enough to throw up his
boot heels. That probably would teach him
that the Smart Aleck business is not exactly
compatible with the dignity supposed to belong
to State Office, which he has disgraced By
all means let the discussion proceed.
REPUDATED AT HOME.
Franklin .Jehfersonian,
In the Democratic county convention held at
Anderson a resolution to instruct tire delegates
to the State convention to vote for the renom-
nation of Capt, W. r. Myers as Secretary of
State was defeated, as was also a resolution to
indorse his every official act as member of
Congress and as Secretary of State, The intro
ductiOn of the resolution produced the widest
confusion and disorder in the convention.
WOULD DISGRACE A FIsHwoMAN.
Seymour Business
Poor Myers Though Secretary of the great
State of Indiana, he is the most despised citizen
within its borders. And all because, in his zeal
fr.,, i 1..--, IL
Office, he gave utterance to blackguardsm that
would disgrace fish-woman Myers is not bad
fellow at heart, and this was the mistake of his
life.
UNQUALIFIEDLY CONDEMNED.
Steuben County Journal
Secretary of State Myers doubtless realizes bv
this time that he made a mistake by writing the
letter concerning Hayes. The newspapers of
the State have given him unqualified condemna-
ton, and his own party, in his own county, re
fused TO recommend his denomination
A FULL-FLEDGED CRANK
Button Chronicle
w Il. Myers, the full-fedged crank who signs
himself Secretary of State, was refused an in
dorsement at the hands of his party in his own
county, last week A more contemplate squirt
never disgraced the Office he holds in indiana.
THE BAD LUCK OF INDIANAPOLIS.
Richmond Item
Indianapolis is out of luck. Pogues run runs
over it. its school commissioners have water on
the brain, it is afflicted with footpads, it has
the smallpox and it is the present homo of w. R
Myers.
KICKS VIGOROUSLY.
Muncie News
Bill Myers has rushed into print concerning
his reputation by the Democrats of his own
county. He kicks vigorously, and seems wor.

HE WAS A DEMOCRAT.

Secretary of State W. R. Myers is dead-oh
so dead. Requiescat! He was a Democrat
