calculated soothe his pertnrbed spirits Mr..
Voorhees, could please tho rank and file or his
duty in Washington than in volunteering to de-
fend gang of political rascals."
CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.
Franklin Republican: circumstances alter
cases even with Simeon Coy. When he was
setting up the tally sheet foreeries be thoueht
the fewer men you have In these politics the bet
ter. Now that he sees the penitentiary staring
him in the face a consequence of that char
acteristic Democrats Job he seems to have de-

MATsoN's WAY.
Columbus Republican,: "Matson's candidacy
for Governor is all sham, and will be unless

oLD-TIME REPUBLICANS.
Delphi Journal: would that old Zach
Chandler and Ben Wade could walk into the
Senate chamber the moment the proposition Is
made to confirm L. @. c. Lamars appointments
to the Supreme Bench. In ten seconds they
would infuse enough Republican staIwartism
into the mumnfed body to bury the traitor
from Mississippi from sight of the Supreme
Bench forever"

worthy the confidence aud support of the people
OF the North on all questions affecting the well
fare OF the Nation"
THE INDIANA GAS FIELD.
Muncie Times: at is fight of the imagina-
ton to say that the gas fields of Indiana will in
a few years be covered with large manufactur-
ing villages cities, and towns, and the center OF
the manufacturing industries of the country.
The superiority of gas over coal and other fuel
for domestic and misunderstanding purposes its
cleanliness and healthfuluess, comfort and con-
'venience. makes the gas field OF Indiana super
ior in value to any coal field IN the world"
TWO GREAT ISSUES
Evansville Journal: 1.-TWO great political issues
next November. Ono is the tariff, protection
of American industry; the other, still more i'm
portant, the guarantee of the right of every
Southern R epublican to vote as he chooses and
to have his vote counted. On the latter issue
rests the permanepcy of free institutions;
the former, the prosperity of our industrial in
UereSUS ana the independence OK the working
men"
REPUBLICAN MISSIONARIES.
Munce Times: ITO read the names Of
the members of the State Teachers AS
ISOLATION OF Kansas, which recently as
sembied at Topeka one can almost
imagine that the Indiana teachers have moved
to Kansas in y body. At the Topeka session 100
Hoosiers, now Sunftowers responded to their
names, and organized Western auxiliary
branch. Tho political com plexion of this gath
ering was taken and resulted in a showing OF
20 to l. as follows Republican. 90 Democrat. /;
Union Labor, i: h;bitionist. l. Now take
this State 60 Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa and other
Western States, and the Republican majority os
1864 in Indiana is easily accounted for. Hoosier
Republicans have been doing vast missionary

fought the tariff reduction bill of Morrison in
Congress. Now, it seems, Dan has concluded to
back water and out Herod Herod in behalf OF
tariff reduction. The sum and substance of it
all is that Dan has sincere convictions
knowledge on the subject. He can make just
good speech one side of the question the
