rebel debt. "Turn the rascalS out"
Connersville Times: The soldier the Demo
cratic party befriends is the rebel soldier. That
party sends more than ten times as many rebel
soldiers to Congress as it does Union soldiers,
and the rebel soldier runs the party.
Spencer Republican, Garland. the bribe- taker
stili remains in the Cabinet Perhaps, in view
of the amount OF bribery necessary to keep the
Democratic party afoat, the President has con-
cluded to retain him and make bribery respect
able.
Terre Haute Express While the administers
ton was Republican the Democratic majority In
the House was forever hunting for chance TO
cut few dollars off the salaries of officials but
this Congress has restored them to the amounts
paid ten years ago.
Columbia City Commercials Gan Republican
prohibitionsts longer doubt that the Prohibition
party is being run in the interest OF the Demo
cratic party3 Democrats do not hesitate to state
that they expect their party to be benefited by
the Prohibitionists
Paol Republican: If the Democrats should
all get together again, resolve to be good, con-
clude that they are called upon to lead in the
work Of reform. and add the sum of human hap
piness, renounce Doodle. denounce forgery OF
tally sheets, and go in for goodness. the spectacle
would be juicy one.
Newport Hoosier State: Why doesn't the pres
| emit Democratic Congress remove the odious high
tariff they howled SO much about during the
years ago!
stump like the people could not exist six months
longer unless the tariff was abolished. They
must have been lying.
| Worthington Times: What, with the Demo
| cratic President appointing exrebel soldiers 70
office to the exclusion of the boys who wore the
| blue, and the Democratic House Of Representa-
| tives considering measure to pay the rebel war
debt, 1t looks like the war for the preservation
| OF the Union was failure.
| Martnsville Republican: The Democratic
| party in Indiana is controlled by the liquor
league, and there is no Disgusting the fact De-
cent men have precious little to say in its coun-
cils How thoughtful, ambitious young men can
afford to ally themselves with such a party is
| more than we can understand
| Waterloo Press: It is a plain fact that Demo
cratic Prohibition leaders of this county every
| day alectioneerng for the candidates on the
Democratic ticket and for men, too, who
long ways from being Prohibitionists. We should
like to know why this privilege is conceded to-
Democrats, and denied Republicans by the
Prohibitionists.
North Vernon Plain Dealer: Now that they
| have got a so-called Prohibition ticket in the
| field in this State, and have taken other prelim-
| mary steps to draw from the Republican party,
we call the attention of tho Democratic State
central committee to the Importance of getting
a number of Prohibition speakers in the field as
early as possible
| Vincennes Commercial: The plain truth is,
! that though there may be no prospect that the
rebel claims will ever be paid by the United
/ States government there is sufficient number
of sympathizers with the movement now III in
| huentlal positions to render the holders Of the
securities hopeful and active in pushing their
claims; and the future is very long.
| Brookvile American: Let the Republicans
| everywhere stand firmly for their principles,
maintain their organization and increase its
strength and efficiency, so that they may be
ready for the next general contest aud achieve a
victory that will put the government of the
country in the hands OF men who love law, order
and justice more than the spois OF Office.
Fort Wayne Gazette: After sixteen months
| of Democratic experience the country is thor
oughly Disguised with the incumbents now in
/ charge OF governmental affairs. If the election
were to occur tomorrow these incompetent OBJ
| structive, n-electric Democrats would be
swept out of power. ANY good Republican at
the head of the ticket would Garry the day.
! Mishawaka Enterprises There is consoa
| ton the Republicans have anyhow. The party
cannot be charged with responsibility for the
| discouragingly low price of wheat for Door
wages and hard times generally. Heretofore,
| when that party was in power, the "outs"
charged them with being responsible for all
| calamities from hard times to hurricanes. Now
| who is to blame?
| New Castle Courier: The people are awake
now. They see the danger there is in the solid
South and they also see the danger there is in the
threat of free trade, and in the disturbance of
| Tue monetary system OF the country. ll@y
realize the gloom and dullness that prevails
throughout the country by reason of the in
| capacity of the party in power and its want of
either fixed or reasonable policy of any kind.
| Columbus Republican: Verify we are ap-
| preaching good old Democratic times and no
| mistake. Perhaps it is well.
properly appreciates good health until he is sick,
and people do not value good government
| highly enough until they experience the ills of
bad government. Four years of this kind will
be sufficient to satisfy the country until new
| generation of voters grow up.
Clay County Enterprises With the appoint
ments to offices averaging thirty four and one
half rebels to one Union soldier, and learned
| lawyers pleading before the claims committee
| for the payment of Sc, 600. 100000 of rebel
claims. backed up by large number of Demo
Gratis in Congress, it begins to look as if the
| "Confederacy was in the saddle" and that the
| loyal soldiers of the North fought on the wrong
| side during the war for the Union.
| Union City Eagle: the sacrifices which the
North made to preserve the Union have not
been forgotten, and the men who fought for the
Union will not sit dumb while defiant and un-
repentant rebels maign either them or their de-
ceased comrades. Those who fought In the
/ Union armies in the right. Because the
whrlieig Of politics has put the still rebellious
enemies of their country in power. it does not
make Union soldier or officer tyrant or an
| oppressor
| Pierceton Independent: It has become evil
dent that no change will be made in the tariff
laws by the present Congress. and the good
effect is noticeable in the improved wool market.
Wool suffered greatly from the drop in 1883 but
| it was recovering and the introduction of Morri-
sons free-wool bill gave it another setback
Wool interests are taking heart again, but there
| is danger of Democratic agitation on this sub
| ject until the people speak authoritatively on
the subject. and that may be expected, we be-
! lieve, in 1883.
