The Democrats are reaping the reward of fol-
lowing the lead of saloon-keeper and law
breaker The reward is the odium OF ballot
and office stealing, one of the most heinous OF
felonies The respectable Democratic citizens
OF Marion county cannot and do not indorse this
vlllalny, and 1t will surely work injury to the
party. But it is astonishing how such man as
Sim Coy can get the head position of great
party: or, having got there, why the party does
not rise in its might and overthrow him.

THE 1eaven of education and enterprise from
the North is bound to permeate and leaven the
entire South, and in a day the solid South OF
1884 will be born into the Nation of the grand
old Union of States, united IN one great common
purpose of liberating all men from the thralldom
or ignorance and prejudice as well as breaking
the chains of physical slavery. 1t is no idle
dream that predicts return to better times.
Laboring have tasted better fruits of their

This upheaval and rebuke of the people to tlta
Democracy should be constant warning to the
Republican party. and especially her successful
candidates, that the people demand and expect
them to fulfill every pledge and promise of re-
form they have made Commercial.
No man should be given a seat in the Legjsa-
ture except he has been legally and fairly elected
and is, under the law, eligible to his seat The
only tests should be whom did the lawful ballots
elect and is he eligible under the Constitution Of
the States His politics, or standing, or qualif-
cation should have no influence or effect upon
the decision. If honorably and fairly elected
and under the laws entitled to his seat no parti-
san purpose should deprive him of his seat. Any
other basis of settlement will lead to anarchy
and ruin. Goodness, deliberaton and an earn
est respect for the law will establish the verdict
OF the people, which should be and will be ac-
cepted without cayil.-Unlon City Eagle.
The Democratic scheme to steal the Legisia-
ture is gradually working its own destruction.
The natural inclination OF men is to honesty
when they are given time to deliberate Some
of the Democratic contestants are beginning to
wilt perceptibly. They are now saying that they
would hold their seats long enough to elect q
United States Senator, after which they will re-
sign We are glad to note that in some localities
they have chosen men who have regard enough
for their standing in honest circles to decline to
make laws when the people have said they
shouldn't. The question next in order is, would
Mcdonald accept seat in the United States
Senate that had been stolen for him2 If so,
would he not be party to the steal?-Martins-
vile Republican.
By his own confession it is the intention OF
Mr. Daniels, the defeated Democratic candidate
for Senator from Cass county. 20 take his seat
when the Democratic majority gives him the
chance, vote for Democrat for United States
Senator and then resign, knowing all the time
that he has not been elected and that he has no
right to the seat II is apparent from this
scoundrelly admission that there is strong
power behind this man, probably none less than
some Democratic candidate for the high Office of
United States Senator. If this be not villainv
without apology, we do not know where to look
for it. The people of Indiana will not willingly
be made a party to such infamy, and will sus-

racality must not shirk theic 6uty.-Att;ca
