THE LATE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
A Few More Testimonials to the Most Corrupt
and Imbecile Legislature of History.
PROMISE VS.. PERFoRMANoE.

ftpOMiSk Va fEhfOhMANOA.
Winamac Republican.
There is perhaps no time in the history of the
State that the people have had so much legisla-
ture and so little legislation. The Democratic
majority of nearly two thirds in both branches
went in loaded down with promises of great
reforms they would make, bit will some one

ton party, but from their party as we'll
''RETRENcHMENT AND REFORM"
Liberty Herald.
The hypocritical Democracy. after howling
economy, retrenchment and reform" for several
campaigns, have during the the last session of the
State Legislature appropriated almost five mill
ions of the peoples money 1t is supposed that
they felt that the people would not stand any
thing more in that line, and hence defeated the
specific appropriation BILL caring nothing as to
the injustice thus done.
ExEMPLIFYING DEMOCRATIC VIRTUES.
Wabash Courier.
A more vicious Legislature, one whose work
was marked by so little good never convened In
Indianapolis. Let it not be forgotten, however,
that it was largely Democratic, and was cor
rallied at Indianapolis for the avOwed purpose OF
cratic reform.
IT'S DROWNING GLORY.
Oxford Tribune
The Legislature adjourned on Monday. The
great glory OF a SerrymaQO6r WHICH QlSlrdICulScS
a large portion of Indiana voters is solely and
wholly theirs. This was the work OF the Assem-

Legislature
GENEROUS WITH THE PEOPLES MONEY.
Kendallville Standard.
The Legislature clipped" their employees very
handsomely at Adjournment voting them extra
to S. day regular pay, shows how generous
Democratic Legislature can be with the peoples
money.
DID NOT LOSE THEIR SAVIOR.
Winchester Herald
The Republican minority in the Legislature
held the relation to the general body that Chris
tians are said to hold to the whole world. They
were the salt" as it were, and they did not lose
their savor either.
AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
BoonvIe Standard.
The Legislature which adjourned last Monday
cost the State $150000 Notwithstanding the
enormous cost, it accomplished almost nothing.
A Democratic Legislature is an expensive lux
ury.
STOP ELECTION FRAUDS.
Wabash Plain Dealer.
Stop the frauds at our elections by giving us
good registry laws. Had the late Legislature
done such practical thing it would have re-
ceived blessings where it now receives curses.
GOOD LORD DELIVER US!
Shelbyville Republican.
Judge David s. Gooding Of Greenfield, has
formally announced himself as a candidate for
United States Senator in 1887 Lord deliver US
from the windy David!
A STARTLING INcoNeRUITY

wounds upon their party which years cannot

GooD1NG FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR.
Kokomo Tribune.

A SIGH OF RELIEF
Xenia journal.
The session just closed has been an expensive
and extravaganza one, and a sigh of relief is heard
all over the State now that it is done.
TOWERING MONUMENT

is the monument of debt which the late lamented
Legislature buiided.
IN BAD DOOR.
