INDIANA'S EGYPT.
Land of Hoop-poles and Pumpkins
and Pure Democracy.
Cincinnati commerclal.Gazett

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
For more than generation the First Con-
gressional district of Indiana has been the
butt of ridicule 1t has been regarded as the
Egypt of Indiana, and almost always re-
ferred to as the land of hooppoles and pump
kins. The scene of Eggleston's "Hoosier
Schoolmaster" was laid in this neck of
woods, and while the story is a travesty ON
Hoosierdom as well as ON literature, it must
be confessed that the pocket" of Indiana is
not in all things, just what it should be. 1t
is intensely Democratic, and until very re-
cent date, any man who put on style in the
least degree could not hope to be elected to
any office. Ignorance or want of capacity
was no bar to public confidence, but style"
was abhoTrcd. | heard a day or two ago,
several amusing stories illustrative of this
In nelghbOr ing county to this, which is al
ways certain for a Democratic majority of
from four to five hundred, young physician
was nominated for county Office. He was
well educated and well endowed fer the
place he sought. He started out on his cleo
pioneering tour, wearing high hat and
pair of kid gloves. His opponent beat him
high hat did the work.
In another county gentleman well-to-do
in the world, and who liked to live WELL was

warm day in August, his good wife put
piece on the butter and set it on the table.
The Democrat partook heartily of the good
things on the table, and went away spread
ing the report that the candidate ''wore ice
on his butter" This was too much for the
Democracy, and he was badly beaten, not
withstanding the large party majority in the
county. Another gentleman had been elect

it began to be whispered around that since
his elevation to office he had become proud,
and instead to taking his whiskey straight,
as a good Democrat should, he drank cock
tails, and that, too, at the bar of the stylish
hotel in the city. He did what he could to
stem the tide of unpopularity which turned
against him. He drank whiskey plain, and
drank it often; he poured down beer by the
schooner; he imbibed in all the saloons in
the county, but it was no go, and he was dis
astrously beaten. Cocktails were entirely
too aristocratic for the Democracy of Van

We should say that Hugh Thompson. Maui
rice B. Flynn and all the other New York
politicians who were aware of the existence
of Commissioner Squire's agreement and
kept it secret were not one whit better than
the Commissioner. Squire signed the paper
to get himself into Office, and Thompson
used it to compel Squire to put his friends in
office or keep them there.

There is good reason to believe that the re-
ports Of misery and starvation that are al
legged to come from Labrador are very much
exaggerated, if not absolutely unfounded.
The story of the bears making raid on
settlement and deyouring all the inhabi-
tants is absurd on its face. What the motive
is that underlies these yarns we are at loss
to know, unless somebody has taken con-
tract to boom newspaper.

All efforts to unite Tammany Hall and the
County Democracy have proved abortiye.
Probably it is fortunate for New York that
such is the case, for the jealousy existing be-
tween these organizations has led each to
carefully watch the other, and thus perhaps
many schemes to rob the tax payer have been
brought to naught.
