Princeton Clarion: The people are demanding
an administration of Deeds not words.
Martin County Tribune: The Spirited for
eign policy" of this administration belongs to
the museum of political absurdties.
Lafayette Journal: There seems to be fatal
ty about the Democratic party-nearly all it's
great men have died. and those who are left are
killing the party.
Elkhart Independenr: The Anarchist is the
enemy of law, hence at enmity with honest, de-
cent citizenship, and we have no room nor use
for him here, save TO ornament the gallows.
Shelbyville Republicans The Democratic party
in this district finds itself in the shape of t'ie
old Gorgon horror of the ancient fable. AS fast
as it cuts off one head two more grow out in its
place.
Fowler Era: Republicans will be much pleased
to have the aid of ''all the good men of all par
ties" but they will rely upon the votes of Re-
pubicans to elect their ticket and carry out their
platform.
tion is a sham as long as organized murder can
be committed with impunity ard public senti-
ment sustains it to such an extent that the law
can't punish it.
Button Chronicle: One hundred thousand
Democratic majority in Alabama, and this is a
free election! 1t is simply farce If fulland
fair election was had it would go Republican, but
as tits, they might just as well make it million
Democratic majority
Peru Republican: The Knights of Labor have
gone to work In good earnest to sift the Anarch-
lists out of their order This is q good move in
the right direction The Knights have suffered
by the bad deeds of the Anarchists, for which
they were not responsible
Auburn Dispatch The Anarchists are dssat-
isfed with their verdict, 1t always makes con-
siderable difference to whose life it is that
is in danger Bomb-throwing is very fine man
Hesitation of liberty, but the death penalty has
no tendency to produce elevation of spirits
Warsaw Indianian- Republicans: Life is no
longer worth living to the man who has become
afraid to do his duty. It is the men who make
and plant the bombs that are the towards and
they will be stamped out of existence as fast as
they can be routed from their secret hiding
places.
Steuben Republicans If murder has been COM
mitted, it doesn't set the wrong right for body
of angry and revengeful men, in utter defiance
of law, to commit another murder Let lynch
ings cease. That they may cease, let lynchers
be promptly dealt with as their lawless deeds
deserve.
Attica Ledger: The general Democratic YER
dict seems to be that Tilden was fool for not
asserting his rights after the Electoral Commits
sion Ind decided against him in March, 1877
The same jury seek to reconcile this finding with
their belief that he was the greatest statesman
of his time
Muncie Times: Anarchists, with all their dan
gerous teachinge. are opposed to the principle
and policy of this Republic. They know no law
and recognize no authority. Such elements
breed discord and discomfort No dalying SYM
pathy, but stern and rigid justice must be
meeted out to them.
Lagrange Standards There is one prohibition
intended to obstruct the manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating beverages. and there is another
prohibition intended to cripple the Rep publican
party. AS the ends are as different as the poles
people ought not to deceive themselves as to
which they cooperate with
Lawrenceburg Press: General Cheaves, ex-
confederate, of Kentucky. is assisting General
Fiske Prohibtionist to stump New Jersey for
the benefit of the Democratic party. The depu-
ty Democrats are not deceivng any Republicans
in this country and we don't think they will
mislead many in that State.
Lawrence Mail: The free-trade plank of the
Democratic State platform is another effort of
the Democracy to reduce the wages of the labor
ing man. The charge of robbery which it con-
tains is good against the party that seeks to
turn the laboring man out of work or make his
wages so low that he cannot live
Spencer Republican: When you feel the Dem
ocratic pulse outside of a few politicians in town
who try to keep their courage ND bv extraya-
CANT claims and bluster, you will find that
many of the rank and file will not only be glad
to see that party defeated at the polls this fall
but will vote to that end. They want a change.
Kentland Gazette: The present administration
is American and nom Republican. 1t is the
former because ii is entirely too willing to serve
EDgland, first in adopting their free-trade theo-
ries and second in showing it's spirit in trying to
make treaty aiming to assist England to pro-
tect herself from the effects Of her own eyil-do.

Crown Point Register: 1t is only through the
Republican party that such legislation can be
mad that VIII enable US to make the best >of
our national resources, to make the best #
our products of the mines aud the soil. Z Is
what the people of this government expect, id
the policy of the Democratic party declines
to do
Lagrange Register independently The politi-
cal prohibtionist seems to think that he is the
only true temperance man. In this he is very
much mistaken He is wasting his energies in
an effort which, the experience of fifty years in
this country hos proven. has only aided the rum
power. The true temperance man will surely
use all practical means now at his command to
suppress the vice.
Marion Chronicle: A strict enforcement OF
the existing liquor laws would reach nearly all

the power of legislation, and yet the Prohibit
