EXPRESSIONS OF THE STATE PRESS.

Corydon Republican,: In 1884 the Democratic
leaders advocated change" They got it, and
now the people feel it.
Steuben Republicans A vote this fall for any
other than the Republican ticket is, when you
get down to the roots of the thing just simply a
vote for the rum power.
Knightstown Banner Democrats boast that
the Republicans may carry the State by twelve
thousand majority, and still the Democrats have
control of the Legislature This is Boosting of
| their own infamy.
Warren Republican: It is in the present cam
paign that Republicans take up the Democratic
| query OF l884-we want to see the books-open
| the books of the State Treasurer and let US see
| what smells SO rotten.
Marion Chronicle: It is the business of the
Chronicle to know something about the opinions
| of Republicans in Grant county. 1t goes to
| some pains to learn them. 1t has yet to learn of
one Republican who disapproves the platform.
Spencer Republican: The hostility of the ad-
| mnistration and its supporters to the payment
of pensions to loyal veterans, manifested at the
recent session of Congress, is but slight fore
taste OF what we shall see if these men are con-
| tinued in power.
| Hendricks County Republican: Treason against
| this Republic was the elimination of national
| crime. How any free born American citizen can
vote for any man who deliberately allotted that
| hdeous sin, is a puzzle deeper than that pro-
| pounded by the Sphinx.
| Lafayette Courier If the Republican party is
to succeed in Indiana this fall it must be ag-
gressive. It's cause is just, and it has every
| thing to gain by forcing the fighting. The Re-
pubicans never carried Indiana with what is
known as a "Still hunt"
| South Bend Tribune: Politicians who think
that they can ''vote" laboring men as they please
| are likely to find out that they have made mis-
| take The workingmen of the country are not
CATTLE but men of opinions and convictions, and
have their own ideas about voting
Martinsville Republican: This is govern
ment of the majority, restrained by the best in
| terests of the minority. Whatever, then, is for
| the best interests of the majority and does not
become destructive of the welfare of the minor
| ity must be for the welfare of the State.
Richmond Telegram: Unless a Republican
| Legislature a Republican Treasurer is elected
this fall, the true condition of the State treasury
cannot be known for yet another two years.
| And to make perfectly sure of it, we better elect
both. the Republican Treasurer and the Repub-
| lican Legislature too.
| Goshen Times: The natural resources of a
country like ours never have been and never can
| be developed in any other way than by some
| system of encouragement. 1t cannot be shown
| that any nation ever built itself up and became
wealthy without the adoption of protection
| policy against nations that had cheaper capital
| and labor.
Bloomington Telephone: A man who has two
| eyes to see with, and two ears to hear with, and
| then will willfully vote against the Republican
party in Indiana to advance the cause Of temper
| ance, is not liable to be moved by any sort of
| Gabriels trumpet on the evening of the last day.
| The blindest thing in the world is the man who
| will not see.
New Castle Courier: There is no possible
| chance for prohibition to succeed in Indiana I'M
til the Legislature can be carried. The Legisla-
ture can never be carried against the Liquor
| League until all good men unite together and
! heap mp such q majority as will override and
reader nugatory the intended effect OF the pres
