One of the good signs of the times is that
So March draws near the President.elect
grows in esteem and confidence. His be-
havior since the election has been wise, and
gives token that he is statesman in fact as
we'll as in name. His every word and act
since his nomination has bsen closely scruti-
n1zed, but even those who sought to con-
denim him have failed to find cause for con-
denim ation.-Greencastle Star Press.
Linn while in Jail had this advantage
over some of his journalistic brethren in this
neck of the woods: The sound of the col
lector's voice did not pierce his ear, neither

voice of the rural rooster saying: "Whar

Review.
A great many Republicans are sorrily dis
| gruntled at the fact that the disgraceful
scramble for office which marked the change
Of each administration while they were In
power has not exhibited itself among, the
Democrats. No unseemly haste is shown,
| though 1t is known that thousands of Re
| publicans must go for the reason that they
| are known corruptionists, or took such q
| lively interest in the political campaign
that they neglected to discharge their duties
| thciently.-Rockport Democrat.
If Grover Cleveland wantI to favor the
continued ascendency of the Democracy of

s.ste Democratic Editorial Association lib
eral number OF foreign appointments, to be
scted upon at the Msxinkuckee meeting in
June, or at an earlier period if deemed ad'

Steele does not speak vlrT highly OF many
of his supposed Republican friends in Well;
County when he charges that they were in
duotd to vote for Kidd through the use OF
whisky, wheat and money. If they had in
tended TO vote for Kidd it was useless Il
waste that influence on them. Consequent
| ", II the charges are tTae, they must have
been Steele's Republican friends and sold
cut quite cheap. But We are OF the opinion
that the charge is false, and viii be proven
50 Wheat, whisky and wealth reminds one
OF Rum. Romanism and Rebellion, as the
term used IN the campaign last fall by one
OF Biaines satellites and most devoted fol
lowers when speaking of the Democratic
psrty. And yet that psrty was successful il
the end.-Decat1r Democrat.
