publican, to which still more enthusiastic
chorus echoes amen" Strange things have
happened.
Terre Haute Express: The Republicans of
Indiana have made good fight have won an
honest victory, and will permit no rascally bal
iOtbox suffers and manpuators OF election re-
surns 20 beat them out of their victory.
Versailles Republicans The handful of i'm
practicable ProhibitioDists who claim to be Re-
publicans now must feel that they have again
made asses of themselves. We would ike for them
to show what good they have done for temper
-9nce.
Wabash Courier: The victory should not be
viewed upon the low plane of party spoils. It is
victory which reaches far beyond the Offices,
and settles questions of far graver import 1t is
victory which will inspire business circles with
= confidence, and give greater impetus to the
wheels of trade and commerce.
Warsaw Republican: Free trade is not the
lining. prohibition is not any better the saloon
influence will not work. and mismanagement
and the spoils of Office do not win, so there was
nothing else to do but return to the old party of
better days. and return it to power. Indiana is

will be ready for the Legislature this winter
And, what is better still, the handsome structure
Will be dedicated by Republican Assembly,
which will return the gallant General Harrison
TO the United States Senate for another six
years.
Kentiand Gazette: Senator Harrison has won
a grand victory in the State. In spite of the
work of his political enemies to encompass his
work in Congress, he has come out ahead, even
with all the odds against him. If ne does not
gain the Legislature, it has still been great
victory for him, and proves his popularity and
soundness
Greencastle Times The most infamous ger
Eymander has been rebuked, and the treasury
will be investigated The free-trade heresy
throughout the country gets decided setback,
and its devotees in Congress will be left at home.
The result shows the Republicans solidly in line
for 1883, and presages glorious return of this
prodigal country to the hands that will cherish
1t. Make the most of the victory.
WahashPiain Dealer: ''Oh, consistency. thou
art jewell" At the State convention the Dem
acratic party enthusiastically Endorsed Cleve-
land and his administration-now that the cleo
ton is over they are coudemning him and his
acts in vigorous terms. laying the blame for the
days work entirely on the shoulders of tho Buff
falo elephant They dons attribute the defeat
in the least to the rascalities of their party in
this and other States.
Kokomo tte-Tribune: By every nsider-
alton of honcs, duty and right the Republicans
should stand firm as the everlasting adamant for
their full and complete rights Indiana must
not be disgracsd as OHIO has BEEN Crimes
against free suffrage are becoming altogether
too common. Their prevention rs the paramount
duty of patriotic citizens, regardless of party,
sect or creed. They must be rebuked or civil
liberty and republican institutions cannot sur
vive.
Shelbyville Times DENNY The youth of
America must be educated around the hearth
stone and at the mothers knee that mans
most sacred privilege is his right of franchise.
It is the God-given privilege of an American
and of which no man has right to deprive him.
This viii be the only way-through the channels
of education--that the young men of America
can be taught the necessity of pure ballot-box
and the inaienable and untrammeled right of
fEas-goter.
Thorrtown Argus: Frank Hurd, Democrat
and free-trader in the Toledo. o., district is
beaten worse than ever Bill Morrison. Demo
beaten in Illinois This is grand victory for
the American idea of protective tariff and pro-
lection to American labor. Every laboring man
in the land should rejoice over the defeat of Car
Isle, Hard and Morrison, three of the worst
enemies to the American laborers that live on
the American continent
Lafayette Call: The very first man to suffer is
that very John e. Lamb. whose safely gerry
) wandered district has gone back on him to the
tune of thousand or more adverse majority.
Mr. Lamb will have no mourners among Tippe-
canoe, nor even among Ninth district, Demo
Gratis But his fate points a moral; and that is,
that in politics as in many other things, it pays
to be reasonably fair, and not too palpably dis
honest and that nothing is easier than for man
to overreach and defeat himself by playing it
too fine"
Winchester Herald: First of all let it be I'M
derstood that the victory is rebuke to the third
party, which, under the of prohibition and
other alleged reforms, has done It's best to de-
Stroy the Republican party. Prohibition will
come in Indiana, but not at the dictation of fa
naticism and soreheadism, much less under the
covert attacks against Republican sentiment The
election is, in like manner, a rebuke to the
Democratic administration of the State govern
ment An empty treasury, the infamous gerry
mander, and the Encouragement of the State
institutions were remembered at the polls.
