Pointed Remarks of Editors of the County
Papers Concerning Current Topics
A COSMOPOLITAN CLIMATE.


their guns for.
1T is DEMocRATIZED.
Corydon Republican: Loud complaints con-
tinue to go up throughout the country in refer,
ence to the present mail facilities The postal
service is wholly inefficient.
WEIGHING GRAY.
Greensburg Standard: Giving Governor
Gray second place will not help Indiana any for
the Democracy, as he has no strength outside OF
his party and much illfeeing within it.
HE WAS
Lafayette Courier: When Senator Voorhees,
reads the proceedings of the "spon taneouS"
meeting at Indianapolis he will no doubt feel
very much like unto man who has been
stromped on"
AS sERvILE AS EVER
Owen County Journals The South rules the
Northern wing of the Democratic party with
absolute sway it did before the war. North
ern Democracy is as dough-faced and servlle
now it was then.
IT WAS ALL SPONTANEOUS.
Terre Haute Express: The Washington con-
tingent can make a good deal of noise. but when
it comes to State conference or convention of
Indiana Democrats, the Gray cohorts outcount
the federal pap-suckers.
LUCKY HE CHANGED.
Goshen Times: Governor Gray has good rea-
to feel flattered with the advances he is max
ing in the ranks of the Democracy. Had he
manned a Republican he would never have be-
come leader of that party
ELDER CHASE FOR GOVERNOR
Hendricks County Republican: Elder Ira j.
Chase still looms I'D as a gubernatorial possbl-
1ty. Several of our exchanges have lately urged
him as the most available candidate at present
visible on the political horizon.
GRAYs GRAB
Anderson Herald: Go vernon Gray captured
the crowd In great shape, he did the Demo
cratic members of the Legislature at the time he
wrested from Senator Mcdonald the empty
honors of a complimentary vote for Senator.
FIGHTING FAMILY.
Kokomo Gazette Tribune: Lauren Mullen a
good Howard county citizen. is of family
of sixteen brothers. Nine of the brothers, in
GLIDING himself, served their country in the
of the rebellion aggregate of twenty-five and
one-haf years.
sECoND-CLAss MATERIAL.
Madison Courier: Governor Gray is the first
man known to have organized ice-presi-
Dental boom. Il is a severe letting down of In
diana's dignity to deliberately concsde the State
accept the second place on the ticket.
A oNE-MAN CAUCUS
Fort Wayne Gazette: If ever there was q
cold blooded, one-man caucus called in the State
of Indiana, it was certainly the one at which
Indianapolis. The conference has not
strengthened Gray nor his party in Indiana.
THE HIGHER ISSUE.
Anderson Herald: The tariff issue is very
well. Our position is right, and it is impregna-
BILE. But far above it and beyond it is glo-
rious championship of the rights of man. and
when we abandon the cause of the poor and tue
weak we abandon all that is essential in Repub-
icanism.
SOCIETY ITEM.
Steuben Republicans It has been decided to
have the annual Poverty Ball" on Thursday,
Jan. &c. 1888 The following rules will be strictly
enforced. No gentleman admitted with less
than two patches on his pants. and no lady adj
mtted unless wearing calico dress. Tickets
so cents.
THE HOME OF THE BLOODY SHIRT.
Greencastls Banner: It Is the South that makes
the bloody shirts and waves them. 1t is the North
that insists upon obedience to the laws, the secur
Of hs ns ssss
''bloody shirt at the North. just as the thief
cries stop thief"
A TECHNICAL ILLUSTRATION.
Noblesvills Ledger: Ex-Secretary Lamar ap-
pears to be in the position of the base bailist
who is forced from the third base to run for the
home-plate. The President as captain has
given him the call and it now depends on the
senatorial pitcher and batsmen to bring him in
so that he can score.
GRAY DowNED THEM.
Rochester Tribune: Governor Gray was the
one recognized leader of the Democratic party
and favorite at the meeting of Democrats in In
dianapolis on the 18th. Mcdonald whose name
once power in the party. is practically re-
tired. and even Voorhees,. with his ce-presi-
dental aspirations. takes back seat
NEEDS DIAGRAM.
Lafayette Courier: Senator Voorhees, might
a
gram and specifications indicating those por-
tons of his speech which supposed to have
some bearing the tariff question and those
other portions which be considers, in the aggre-
gate, to be 1.-The greatest effort of his life"
NOT DUE TO PROTECTION
Attica Ledger: The trusts" organized to
keep the prices of various articles is, accord
ing to free-trada argument. caused by a protect
i've tariff. With good reason and as sound
logic could the tariff be charged with the evil
wrought by "bulls" and bears" who regulate
grain and certain provisions according to their
desires.
FOR CHAIRMAN.
Greencastle Times: The State central COM
mittee cannot do better than re-elect Hon.
James n. Huston as chairman for the next two
years In the conduct of the late campaign
Chairman Huston proved himself able man
ager, man of resources, and. in short. good
all around hustler. We will need such man
this year.
THE GRAY CONVENTION.
Wabash Plain Dealer: The Democracy of In
diana. assembled at Indianapolis. did not dis
cover how they had been duped by Gray and his
henchmen until the meeting was nearly over,
and it is stated that some vigorous and ornate
profanity was evoked from the ancient moss
backs when they stumbled upon and fell over
the great truth.
NO UNION MAN NEED APPLY.
Noblesville Ledger: In Mr.. Stewards apology
for his voting for the confirmation of Lamar he
acknowledged that the South is represented by
two men, Woods and Harlan. but they do
not really represent the South. because of
their being Union men. This is acknowledging
that it is necessary that the South should be
represented by a rebel
MANLY APOLOGY.
Frankfort Banner We feel like an apology ia
due the man who steals our coal and will Just
state that the WORKOUT shovel that's left in the
bin is the best afford We know it must
be uuhandy when one is in hurry TO fill his
buckets ana go, but then can't help it-we're
poor: Another season. perhaps, and We will
furnish better Accommodations
WHAT SHOWS.
Lafayette Call: The action of self constituted
gathering like that at indianapolis in the inter-
est of any man, particularly one comparatively
unknown abroad is not likely to have any mate
rial effect save one; and that win DO to show
