TIE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
Enthusiastic Response from the Press Of
the State-Let 1t Be Built at Once.
A MONUMENT FOR ALL.

Muncle Times
The Times gladly records the suggestion of
Gen. Harrison and shall hope to see the time
soon come when such monument shall be
erected to the memory of the soldier of Indi-
ana as Will perpetUate his name and fame to the
ages yet to come This is no political venture
neither is it sectional, but one in which all may
JOIN, the Democrat, the Republican, the North,
the South, all they now breathe the liberty
guaranteed by the same flag.
RAPIDLY cRYsTALIlzINa.
Rushville Republican.
Senator Harrison's suggestion of a monument
to the Indiana soldier is rapidly crystallizing into
an organized movement to begin the collection
of the necessary funds for that purpose Rush
county will respond literally in memory of her
gallant sons living and dead, who marched
under the old flag to the music of the Union.
THE SUGGESTION BEARING FRUIT.
Lawrenceburg Weekly Press.
From all over the State comes the response
Let us raise by the side Of MortOns monument a
suitable monument to the Indiana soldier. The
Grand Army of the Republic will probably be
the suitable machinery to collect funds, and we
shall, we believe, have a soldiers monument
worthy of the soldiers of the State Let Us
raise the companion piece.
A LAUDABLE ENTERPRISE.
Fort Wayne Gazette
The people of Indiana should not let the
question of erecting a monument to Indians
soldiers end in talk. Let the Grand Army boys
take hold of the matter and start subscription
lists, and we venture the prediction that the
amount that can be raised in this city will be
surprising. Push the enterprise; it is most
laudable one
LET ALL CONTRIBUTE.
Richmond Palladium.
Indiana may well be proud of her war record
and it would be most fitting that that record be
commemorated by monument If the mOnu-
ment is to be built. let it be by small contribW
items and let every man, woman and child tho
State have chance to aid in the good work.
DUTY OF THE PRESS.
steuben County Journal
The newspapers of Indiana should second the
suggestion of Senator Harrison that monu,
ment be erected at indianapolis in memory of
the States soldier dead Let this be acted on
all over the State, and let 1884 see the compile
ton of the work
NONE MORE DESERVING.
Indiana Herald, Huntington
None is more worthy monument than the In
diana soldier, none more bravely did his duty in
the field of battle, none died more gloriously,
and the honor of a monument, erected to his
memory. would be as slight a token as the peo-
pie could pay.
LET IT NOT END IN TALK.
New Castle Courier.
The idea is so good that it took hold and is be-
ing enthusiastically discussed Let it not eud
in talk. The patriotism and the money are with
the people, and prompt action will insure speedy
success.
STRUCK POPULAR CHORD
Lebanon Patriot.
Such a movement ought to have hearty re-
Spouse and substantial aid from every citizen OF
the State, and immediate steps should be taken
to place the matter before the public.
TARDY JUSTICE.
Lafayette Courier
Justice to our heroic dead is tardy, but fitting
Let the good work go on.
