A Republican Editors views.

Editor Cowles, of the Cleveland Leader.
II don't think its going to be wise to run
Blaine again for the presidency. l don't think
the Republican party will ever get the Irish
vote. When General Scott was nominated in
1852 it was supposed he would get the whole
Irish vote. He got beat worse than any man
who ever ran for President except Horace
Greeley. There he was, a great and noble man,
all doubled up by little, insignificant whiifet
like Franklin Pierce
"Who should be nominated, Mr.. Cowlesr
II think they will get into squabble again,
and that some like Robert Lincoln will re-
ceive the nomination. He made a good Secre-
tary of War, is modest man and the Ameri-
can people will not repu6iate his fathers name.
There is General Logan, from the same State,
who, suppose, expects to be nominated. Sher-
man does not have the popular following to elect
him outside Of Ohio, where be is strong man.

s'The committee are of the opinion that the
reservation is much larger than is needed, or can
be wisely used for the Indians residing thereon;
but il the lands are covenanted by treaty with
them, we cannot re possess them without the
consent Of the Indians. We believe it is en-
tirely practicable to procure the consent of the
Indians to a reasonable reduction of the reser
vation, as we'll as of the greater one lying west
OF the Missouri river. An attempt in that di-
rection has already been inaugurated, and the
necessary legislation has been passed by the

settlement by the executive order Of Feb. q,
1885, and in good faith made settlement thereon.

from the consequences Of this unfortunate COM

In regard to the Crow reservation in Montana,

limit as will enable the Indians to use what they

Through fog and brake and deep morass
And blacklist darkness thou must pass.
If thou aspire to reach that star.

Must climb thee to the eagles height
And upward still pursue thy fight.
Thou must not heed the adder's hiss,
Nor be dismayed-remember this;
Thou must not fear the scorpions sting
For tbs, indeed, trifing thing.
And do not pause. and look thee down
Upon the mountain and the town.
Nor backward must one look bestolv
Upon the yawnlng gulf below.
Twould make thee dizzy. Bend thy soul,

MUNCIE, June 18-This city is to night in the
midst Of political sensation, such as has never
been known in the county On the day of the last
April election the Republicans of this county
held a primary election for the purpose of nom
mating a county ticket. At the head of the
ticket. as candidate for judge. was placed the
| lame of Hon. J. N. Templer one of the leading
lawyers of the city. Prior to the election of that
day, aud in conformity vita the wish of the peo
pie as expressed at the mass convention, the
central committee adopted set of rules
which should govern the election
Among others was one providing
against the use of money, whisky or anything to
| influence voters in favor of any particular can
didate. 1t further provided that, in case it
should be proved that any candidate had used
such means to aid his nomination, he should, on
conviction, be removed from the ticket. At the
election SO held Templer was nominated by a
plurality of thirty five votes over Hon. j. e.
Mellette. It was soon nosed abroad that Mr..
Templer had secured his nomination by resort
ing to such means as were prohibited
by the rules Of the commit
tee Mr. Mellette accordingly filed charges
against Templer. alleging. among other things,
that his nomination was secured by the corrupt
use of money and whisky. The central commit
tee was called to investigate the charges. Many
witnesses were examined, and after four days
hard work the committee completed it's labors
late this evening, and by vote of IA to found
Mr. Templer guilty as charged, which. according

closed doors, we're ignorant of the character of
