THE TRUTH ABoUT IT.-The men who
write telexrsphic reports for the Press
Association. like those employed upon
daily newspapers, sometimes undertake
to couple their individual opinions with
The news which they are employed to-
prepare for publication. An unfortun-
ate instance Of this kind was the account
that was sent out from indianapolis on
" ednesday night. OF the effect that had
been produced upon popular sentiment,
BY the nomination Of M. Andrew n.
Sweeney - the Democratic candidate!
for Superintendent Of Public Instruction
The fact - that Mr.. Sweeney's nomina.
tion was the result Of the impressiOnI
that he personally made upon the dele
gates, backed by his splendid record as|
superintendent Of the public schools inI
Dubois county. His religious faith
never In the least degree prejudiced his
oficial sction, and he brought the sch0olsl
Of that county up 20 = standard OF ef-l
fciency and discipline that they had
never known previous to his adminis-
trstion
We regret that The teleeraphic report,
which spoke Of his nomination as uni
to Democratic opinion,
should have appeared in The C6urier'sI
leIegTaphic account OF the work or the
State Convention. There was absolute
y nothing 70 justify the statement made.
On the contrary, M. Sweeney's popu-l
|arity grew with every hour from the
moment he reached Indianapolis and
lhe fact that he Wss able to defeat the re-
nomination oi 20 able and conscientiousl

discharge the duties OF the high posi.

which characterized his administration \
