There is no occasion for the disappointed
young man Of the CD. to draw on his imag-
ination. If he wishes to know something
about attempts to steal things in this State,
he can find it in the city of Indianapolis,
where good and true Democrats have at
tempted to change the election returns in
favor of other equally good and true Demo
Gratis. The stealing is to be investigated.
Wait till the court makes upits verdict. The
thieves will be exposed.

SENATOR VOORHEES,, speaking of the cleo
ton in Indiana. says this is the year of dis
content. This indicates that tho Wabash
statesman is rot only looking forward to a
hard, cold winter and late spring, but has no
hopes Of glorious Democratic summer to
follow. The development of weather-wisdom
after the storm has burst is pleasing char
acteristic of members Of Mr. Voorhees, party.

UP to the time the result of the election
was known there were probably not more than
half dozen men in the State who questioned
the legality of electing Lieutenant governor,
to fill the place vacated by General Manson,
appointed to a federal position. Those half
dozen were friends of Governor Gray, and it is
they who are now at the bottom of the effort
to create sentiment in favor of declaring
that there was no constitutional occasion for
the election of Lieutenant-governor. 1t will
not succeed, but will be worked for all it is
worth to create sympathy for Governor Gray,
who could not be sent to the Senate by reason
of the fact that it would leave a Republican
Governor of the State. We are not so GER
tain but that he would not allow this to in
terfere in event the Legislature can be stolen
by the Democrats

If New York Republicans in regard to the

Journal asks its voting readers to signify their
choice on postal cards, and forward the same

Indiana have but one choice, and the letters

The mugwumps claim that the election in
Massachusetts, resulted in substantial victory
for themselves. According to Congressman
Patrick Collins's view Of the matter, they base
their claims on very slender foundation. Not
only was their candidate for Governor de-
feated, but not single mugwump was elected
to any Office in the State. He says the mug
wumps voted the straight Democratic ticket,
swallowed the Democratic platform, and are,
in fact, now absorbed in that party. When it
is added to this that the vote for Mr.. Andrew
fell many thousands short of that given to
General Butler in 1888, and for whom none of
the then so-called independents voted it will be
seen that the mugwump addition to the party
is more than equaled by the number of
regular Democrats who have Withdrawn
from active participation in affairs, perhaps
because they do not like their new associates.
