and to be pardoned if he is just the least bit vain

The people will do to trust every time. The

The Democratic leaders of the State have

--kokomo GazetteTribune
The scoundrels VINO attempt to ignore the will
of the people must now defend and vindicate
their position, or sink overwhelmed with shame

aroused by such dastardly outrages and it would
not be surprising if Mr. Daniels and some of his
crowd should be asked to make themselves scarce
about the city.-Delphi Journal
The Democrats are contestng every Repub.

| tally sheets. they are trying to accomplish by
downright thievery -Bluffton Commercial
If it is found that the Democrats are fairly and
honestly entitled to majority, they will get
the benefit of it. If, on the other hand, it is

how loud the Democracy may protest and
threaten vengeance. -Brookville American.
| There is in Indiana fixed conviction that the

| The question of rewards and punishments is as
prominent in politics as it is IN theology, and
| much more tangible examples may be furnished
| OF their just observation-disclosures Haute Express
| There are thousands of Democrats in this
State who are fully as much interested as Re-
| pubcans IN seeing that the wrongs in our in

abuses in the State institutions reformed. To
prevent this the Sim Coy gang at indianapolis is
using every dishonorable effort Imaginable

We deliberately make the declaration that if
| the Republican party does not stand firm in it's
allegiance to the principles of sobriety and if it
faters In its promise to fight to the death the
accursed Liquor League of this State, we will
turn the Republican against it and in favor of

Every day in all the cities of the State the liq-

but they are rarely punished for It, Each mu-
nicipal police or law officer will disclaim respon-

that the other is in fault. and between them all
nothing is done. If the Legislature this winter
| places the responsibility somewhere where it
can not be evaded, it will have done a good thing

the United States senatorship, and they NAV as
well make up their minds to It, Revolution
