Connersville Examiner: Hon. David 5
Gooding is making q gallant fight for the
Speakership of the House OF Representatives,
and with fine prospects of success. There Is
no better or ADLER gentleman asking for the
place. and he has done as much on the
stump as any Democrat in the State, and his
services are entitled to recognition.
Crawford County Democrat: Since the
election Mr.. Blaine stands revealed in his
true character. bis Augusta speech and his
letter Withdrawing the suit. show the ami
mus of the man, and both may be known
by the reading. as emulating from the same
brain. Mr.. Blaine can not longer deceive
any one. The Sentinel is INDICATED.
Hendricks County Gazette: Colonel Mat.
son Is being prominently mentioned for
commissioner Of Pensions. 1t would fall on
worthy shoulders IL it should be given to
Mr.. Matson. He has Justly earned the name
Of the Soldiers Friend" and IL placed in
the above named place, he would add honor
and dignity to an honorable and dignIded
Office.
Rochester Sentinel: A. B. Champion, the
versatile editor of the Delphi Times, will be
a candidate for Doorkeeper of the State Sem
ate. Del is a worthy applicant and would
make q most efficient man for the place, and
it would afford us pleasure to have him meet
with success. The Winamac Democratic
Journal heartily Endorses the SentIneI's sug-
gestion.
Davies County Democrat: Republican
papers are continually complaining, that
now Mr.. Blaine is beaten, Democratic
papers don't ''let up on him" Well, why
don't he "let up" On HIMSELF He appears
bound to keep his dubious record before the
people. and has become as much of a nuts
ance ss a letter writer as the famous Private
DalzelI.
Jacksonville News: w. NJ. Moss, editor
of the Bio 1mington Democrat, is a candi.
date fer Assistant Secretary of the Senate,
subject to the Democratic caucus Mr.. Moss
Tesurrected q Democratic newspaper in a
Republican county, and is therefore a hero
deserving recognition. He is also a pleas
ant, congenial gentleman, who is compe-
tent to I'LL the position which he seeks. Let
Moss go through.
Connersville Examiner: To-day the Ex-
aminer is seventeen years old, and, we are
proud to say, is q healthy, robust child, per-
| fectly able TO successfully withstand all the
vicissitades of ard times, and the knocks
/ and kicks that its enemies can heap upon il.
For the generous patronage it has received
from the good people of Connersville and
Fayette County through these long years,
We return our grateful thanks.
sullivan Tunes: An old proverb says: the

most essiouoUsly ID his own business" This
applies 10 day With a double force the world
over. The farmer is a failure who leafs half
his time in town, aud the merchant is q fail.
uTe who standsbehind his counter and DO Wis
hard times In the face OF every customer
who enters his door, besides be is aa injury
to every other man In business in his town,
aid is a nuisance on general principles.
Hancock Democrat: One of the latest c1r-
rupt propositions of the Republican press
and statesmen is for all the old members of
the Supreme Court of the United States to
resign at once, SO that a Republican Presi.
dent can fill the vacancies with younger Re.
pUhlicans. The proposition is as corrupt as
hell itself. and could emanste only from the
republican party. 1t is not likely that any
Jucge of the Supreme Court will yield obs-
dience to this venal proposition.
Ligonier Banner: Suppose Blaine were a
candidate for the Presidency Just now and
the election were to be held next Tuesday.
How many votes would he receive in Indi-
ana, after the disgraceful abandonment of
his libel suit with the Sentinel and his con-
temptible onslaught on the people of Indi-
ana? We venture the assertion that $4,000
Republicans in Indiana to day inwardly re-
joice that the defamer OF our courts and ID
ries was defeated for the Presidency.
Arburn Courier: In all the scramble for
t~appointive Offices under the State Govern
ment it would be q very sensible thing for
Democrats to remember the colored voters,
who even though few in numbers, helped to
swell our victorious majority at the late
election. They came over to cur side for
right and justice and against the bitterest
opposition from their own race. And o
we have it in our power to show our appre-
citation of their services and sacrifices.
Winsnack Dem. Journal: The In
diaDapolis Sentinel has q very porper view of
the practical effect of the civil service rules.
II Wnuld IN uininO that the nav admins.
tration should not be niggardly or narrow,
but that it should follow the practice
adopted by Mr.. Arthur in his appointments
to Office, that is, that there shall be as many
Republicans retained in Office as there are
Democrats now serving under the present
administration. The Republicans ought TO
be satisfied with such disinterested fairness.
Miami County Sentinel: One of the OBJ.
jections to the Nicaraguan treaty is that its
confirmation would abrogate the Clayton
Bulwer treaty between the United States
and England. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty
has never been in favor with either Nation,
and should not have been contaminated,
and would not have been under q Demo
cratic administration. The sooner 1t is
WIPED out the better for this country. The
Monroe doctrine should be the American
policy, and such a policy would dictate the
approval of the treaty with Nicaragua now
under consideration.
Bloomfield Democrat: The Methodists
have good reason to rejoice over the gro th
Of their church in a single century, for 1t
has been marvellous, and affords one of the
most striking cases of progressive develop
ment in all religious history. Since the
days of Wesley and Whitefeld the Methodist
communion has increased from a small band

groves OF the back woods to q vast brother.
