to get into the Union, but she send some
of her weather.
THE KIcKERs

ocrats are beginning to kick vigorously at the
efforts of Governor Gray to assume the position
of party boss for Indiana.
SILLY PERFORMANCE
Delphi Journal The silliest thing the Demo
Gratis ever did, and they have been guilty OF
great many silly things. was to indorse Isaac r.
Gray for the second place on the ticket.

place. is the father of forty three sous aud two
daughters. He has been married three times

sixty-fye and his youngest two years old.
MAKING THEM TIRED.

making many of the Democrats exceedingly
in their affections to render such a long descent
agreeable.
III -, BIG MILLS.

the proprietors have contracted TO bring to this
place is most too large fer the average citizen to
grasp. Three buildings six hundred feet long
and eight stories high are not seen looming up
in every Western city.
is PROUD OF THE ENDORSEMENT.
Noblesville Ledger: The Ledger received the
best Endorsement last Saturday. that it has
ever received. The Endorsement consisted in a
notice from two saloon keepers that they wanted
their Ledgers stopped, they did not like its
views on the whisky question.
BACKED THE WRONG COLOR
Attlca Ledger: Col. John S. Williams came
all the way from Washington to head off the
Gray boom and start little for Black.
The Colonel backed the wrong color, and. when
he emerged from the wreck. his boomet was az
limp as a cotton shirt in an April shower.
BOOM FOR DR.. HARRISON.
Frankfort Banner: We would suggest to the
Democracy of Boone and Clinton the modest
hammered DIR. Thos. Harrison for Senator. He
would make the most picturesque political
corpse in the two counties. He has the advant-
age of being in sort of last seasons mackerel
condition already.
LEARNING A BITTER LESSON
Terre Haute Express: The reaction has set
in, and before it is expended the saloon interest
will have learned the bitter lesson impressed on
it in other cities. The attempt to interfere in
the control of municipal affairs to the end that
the law may be violated has invariably led to
even more stringent enforcement OF 1T.
INDIANA PRODUCTS ABROAD.
Muncie Times: Step into one of the leading
hotels in Paris or London and call for beef
roast, you are supplied with the most delicious
beef YOU have ever tasted, grown in Delaware
county fastened together by skewers from the
Muncie skewer factory. You take up scented
tooth-pick after dinner and you find it came
from the noted Muneie factory.

has heard the old hero join in singing 'Sher-
mans March Through Georgia" or talk on Dec
GRAFTON day, will doubt his loyal principles
GRAYs GALL.
Gibson County Leader: Governor Gray is
heartily disiked by almost every Democrat of
prominence, and by many OF the Bourbon rank
and file in this Commonwealth. yet he has taken
it upon himself to become the mouthpiece and
commander-in-chsf of the Indiana Democracy,
and the Democrats of Indiana, without murmur,
aeq uiesce in his assumption and obey his dicta-
ton.
FROM BAD TO WORSE.
Greensourg Republican: 1t is given out from
Washington that the new Postmaster general
Dickinson will appoint a new superintendent of
the railway mail service, and, result,
number of the old railway postal clerks who still
retain positions will be summariy dismissed.
Our postal service is already miserable enough,
and what it will be after all the experienced
force is ousted can scarcely be imagined
ROUGH ON ISAAC.
Columbus Republican,: The old Democratic
wheel-horses of Indiana, such Mcdonald.
Voorhees, and English, must feel proud of being
forced to play second fiddle to two-peuny
statesman and Republican renegade like /. z.
Gray. who is a Democrat only for place, has no
record for anything except shrewd schemer
and would sell out the whole party tomorrow il
he could advance the interest OF Gray by so
doing. Sc
