GENELALLy GETS THERE
Owen County Journal: It has been more
than year since Coy and Bernhamer conspired
to defeat the will of the people by tally.sheet
forgery Justice IS slow sometimes, but in tho
end she generally gets there with both feet
THE PATH OF GLORY.
Anderson Herald: Really it is surprising how
very popular man becomes with the managers
guished himself as maaipulator of election re-
turns or been convicted OF an Infamous crime
DEMOCRATIC GRATITUDE.
Frankfort Banner: The money that has been
by the Democracy, among the Indianapolis con-
tingent, is more than has been contributed to
the Hendricks monument fund.- by the party in
WORTH REMEMBERING.
Steuben Republican,: The people of Indiana
demand that votes shall be cast as the voters
wish, and tn at they shall be counted theyQ
are cast. without any additions or subtrActions.
Proof, the conviction of Coy and Bernhamer.
Let political scalawags stick pin shere
ONLY LACK THE CHANCE.
Clay County Enterprises Nine out Of ten OF
the men cursing the action of the court and
jury in the tally sheet case would do the same
as Coy if they had opportunity. All honest
men believe in Furnishing such rascals without
stopping to inquire their politics.
WILL NOT HIDE THEIR INFAMY.
Logansport Journal: The scoundrels Coy and
Bernhamer are at last branded felons, and all
the sympathy they may receive from their par
tisan friends and supporters will not hide their
infamy from the gaze of the honest masses OF
the people, who do not believe that anything is
fair in politics
SHOULD BE TREATED AS OTHER CRIMINALS.
Liberty Herald: Why were Coy and Bern
hamer furnished sumptuous apartments at
give receptions" instead of being sent to prisonf
They better than the commonest con-
demned criminals and entitled to no more
leniency.
DISTINGUISHED covIcTs.
Franklin Republican: If Coy and Bernhamer
were common raScals they would have been In
the penitentiary several days since and almost
forgotten; but they too closely identified
with the fundamental principles upon which the
existence and success of their party depends, to
be neglected in their hour of trial.
IN THE SAME LINE OF BUSINESS.
Lafayette Courier: Senator Turpie is turning
his attention to the cause of Coy and Bernha-
mer. and is laboring with the powers at Wash
ington to obtain their liberty. The Senator
might employ his time to better advantage by
collecting testimony to relieve himself of the
odlum of having been party to revolutionary
movement IN the Indiana Leglslat TO steal a
seat in the upper House of the United St ates
Congress
THE TIE THAT BINDS
Lafayette Courier: The umbilical cord which
appears to exist between Green Smith and the
Coy gang is perfectly natural Smith stole the
office of Lieutenant governor last winter and
was sustained in his lawless and revolutionary
course by the thugs and brusers who answered
to the beck and call of the arch eonsplrator. and
in spirit of reciprocity the exaggerated gentle
man from Jennings Is now doing bis level best
to keep Coy out of the penitentlary
HAD ENOUGH DEMOCRATIC PRAISE.
Connersville Times: Coy and Bernhamer APP
pealed to Judge Gresham, of the United States
Circuit Court. but Judge Gresham declined to
neys of the tally-sheet forgers to apply TO
Justice Harlan. We think SO too. Gresham
has had enough Democratic praise now to suit
almost any appetite. and doesn't want any more.
He is getting it the other way now. Democrats
don't consider him any better judge than Woods
or Harlan
AN HONEST DEMOCRAT
Worthington Times: The verdict in the tally
sheet cases at Indianapolis gives one better
satisfaction than Dr. j. A. Mnich, of this city,
old-line Democrat and member of the COM
mittee of hundred while in Indianapolis.
Mr.. Minich says Coyism was running his party
in Marion county, so great was it's hold, and
election unblushing and outrageous, and
he hopes to the whole gang safely lodged be.
hind prison bars.
DIsGRACEFUL SPECTACLE
Rushville Republican: We do not doubt that
honest Democrats all over Indiana condemn the
methods of Coy and Bernhamer. What, there
FORE must they think when they see their party
leaders-McDonaldV Voorhees,, Rice, Cooper. and
the rest-rallying to protect these two law
breakers from punishment. Has Indiana ever
before witnessed so shameful a spectacle as the
leaders of great party making commoa cause
with debauchers of elections-men who were
convicted of trying to defeat the honestly
expressed will of the people by crime?
WANTED AN INDIAN MEMENTo.
New Harmony Register: youth from New
York, travelling for dry goods firm, called on
Ford Bros. d Lichten berger ono day this week.
After transacting his business. he said that
while he was tout Westr he would like to get
pair of Indian slippers and other aboriginal
trinkets," and asked Homer TO show him come.
He was much disappointed when told that the
tribe was camped on Fox island. on Buffalo
squaws from coming to town with their wares,
and that at present none of the stores in town
had any Indian goods in stock, the demand
was always greater than the supply.
A sEMI-oFFICIAI. REPORT.
New Castle Courier The State Veterinarian

diagnosis of the disease affecting the cattle of

following card:

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Kniehtstown Banner: There seems to be
faint suspicion that the able State We terinary
Surgeon is fraud He says that there is no
disease amongst Henry county cattle except
such as cold, hunger and want Of care have in
dnced. Every who knows anything of
Henry county knows that this charge sgainsr
our stockmen is ridiculously false. That there
was some kind of CONTAGIOUS disease amongst
the fifteen Cincinnati cattle Mr.. Pate's farm
does not admit of doubt. DR.. Balser, who is a
graduate of the Toronto Veterinary College,
saws that the lungs of the cattle were affected.
The PEOPLE want to know the facts in order that
the disease may be stamped ont and the great
cattle interests of the county be saved from ex-
tensive loss. They do not thank the alleged
z&eterinary surgeon for his supercious and super
silly remark.
