| New Albany Public Press. A Democratic mug
wump administration went so far in the enforce
ment OF ''snivel" service reform rules that Dem
ocratic federal ofnceholders were not allowed the
privileges of ordinary citizens in exercising the
rights of franchise and open work and support
| OF the party. An administration and party
| working under such rules and by such methods
IS not worthy of support and ought to- as it Will,
| die.
Madison Courier: The gerrymander was re-
buked, but an attempt to force it to do the work
designed for it is now on foot By infamous
| robbery under legal forms the people of Indiana
are defrauded out of their right to choose a
| United States Senator A minority of the peo
| pie are awarded the prerogative of the majority
The politicians of the Democratic party are per-
petratlng this crime, and they should not be per-
mtted to accomplish it.
Columbus Republican: The Republicans car
rled the State ticket and also the Legislature, If
fair count can be had. OF course howl will
be raised if any of these members elected by
Liquor League money or counted in by fraud are
denied their seats, but the people who won the
victory do not now propose to be cheated out of
cans DO not intend to do anything illegal, but if
they have elected the Legislature, as they fully
believe, they propose to control it.
Vernon Plaindeser: The Liquor League got
IN its work through the so-called Prohibition
party, which it organized and maintained It
defeated Mr.. Meloy for the Legislature from
this county, as we'll as a number of other mem
berS and Senators, and made the League &C.
cure for two years more. 1t did not elect any
county officer here, and the twenty dollars paid
nv a 10 Aoka In Ioxy 1t ha
show at this place to have Prohibition county
convention called was lost money.
Terre Haute Express: Colonel Robertson will
take his seat, and he will be backed by the
united Republican party and all fair-minded
Democrats. Some say the Democracy will
weaken at the last moment, and that they dare
not carry such a scheme to the extreme. Do
not place too much faith in the rotten gang that
is leading the Democratic party. The gang is
rotton and corrupt. /: has disgraced Indiana on
more than one occasion. and is equal to the at
tempt to throttle the will of the people 1t is
equal to any revolutionary tactics that may be
brought forward, and Colonel Robertson, the
brave Union soldier, is also equal to any emer
gency, when itcomes to his rights and the rights
of the people.
New Albany Public Press: Unfair, unscrupu-
lous advantages taken by political parties will
do only the perpetrators of the wrong harm.
The people will remember them at the next
election, as they did the perpetrators of the last
a Republican Lieutenant governor, and declare
Green Smith its presiding officer a Republican
House may turn out every Democratic Repre-
sentative. and by revolutionary measures,
create confusion and political chaos. And the
House can turn out two to the Senate's one.
Democrats and Republicans, if you desire the
confidence of the people, you will do we'll to obey
the will of the people, and let filibustering and
political scoundrelism severely alone
Evansville Courier: To us the more reason

to the Democracy through the partys apathy to
its own pledges and the undisguised effrontery
of party leaders in Wanting their own politcal
insincerity. During the last session of Congress
Mr.. voorhees, voted with the Republicans for
every offensive measure that was passed by the
Senate. Among these were the Blair education
al bill, which proposed to dump carloads of the
peoples money around through the Southern
States; the Blair pension bill, which placed
skulkers and deserters upon an equal footing
under the law with honored veterans who fought
through the var, and the mail subsidy steal,
which proposed to give Jay Gould, Russell
Sage, Sidney Dillon and Cyrus ".
Field four millions of dollars for
services that were being satisfactorily
performed under contract that
had not expired for one thirteenth of that
amount. Mr.. Mcdonald never lost an opportu
nifty to denounce the Presidents reform policies
and used his influence as the leader Of his party
in Indiana to secure federal appointments for
those who were favorable to his senatorial aspi-
rationS. Mr.. English led the boilers from an
authorized Democratic convention apparently
because it would not nominate his son for Con
Irsss, although both of them deny that either
had desired such result. But if the conduct of
the EnglisheS purposeless, it was so much
the more inexcusable. 1t had widespread in
nuence for evil throughout the State, and was
more fatal in its effects in the other districts
than in the Seventh where Mr.. Bynum proved
himself strong enough to stampit out We need
not 60 away from home to find causes which
clearly explain the Democratic defeat in Indiana
on last Tuesday.
