This pastor. according to the published report,
delivered these words in sermon in
the principal Methodist chuch in Indianapolis.
lie said also of Governor Cleyeand's nomination.:
IF thirty ministers in his own city are not liars

so. The Nation does not stand responsible Tor the
crimes and blundcrs of the Dcmocra Ic party, nor

That is precisely what TIE TRIBUNE had occasion
to observe about fifty times last winter greatly to
the indignation of all the Democratic journals.
They had secured majority in Congress, and were

shouted with enthusiasm. one TO another, The
Southern Confederacy i'm the saddle again. Now
they have come to the conclusion that they made
unmitig gated fools of themselves. and would have
been a little more sensible if they had not tried to.
get into the saddle at all until they learned to ride.
