cred enough of lawyer to sit on federal
| bench"
TWO SHIRTS.
Fowler Era; 1.-THE Republicans will wave the
bloody shirt in the campaign and it is now evil
dent that they will have to wave the wool shirt
| as we'll"
A CASE OF CREMATION.
Columbus Republican: There mighty
little left of the Presidents message after being
exposed to the searching heat of Sherman's
facts and figures"
WAS DIFFERENT BEFORE.
Richmond Telegram: Now that Green Smith
has sunk into comparative silence. we don't see
why GAINESVILLE or any other town should want
20 get out of Indiana"
ABUNDANCE OF CAMPAIGN MATERIAL.
Wabash Plain Dealer: .At the present rate
the Republican party will be supplied with an
abund ance OF superb literature with which TO
low"
NOT HARD TO PLEASE.
Mitchell Commercial: For President in 1888:
Any good Republican to take Cleveland's place.
There are doubtless number who can do this,
and 1t will be great mistake If any other is
nominated"
OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED
Warsaw Times: Daniel W. Voorhees, United
States Senator from Indiana, has offered his
services to the tally-sheet forgery gang of In
dianapolis in their anticipated criminal suit. He
ought to be ashamed to thus prostitute the Office
which he holds"
DOES NOT ELEVATE HIM.
Xenia Journal: ''The tally-sh forgeries are
condemned by the better element of the Democ-
racy, and Senator Voorhees, certainly does not
elevate himself in the regard of honest people by
volunteering his services, without pay, to de-
fend these criminals"
CAPS THE CLIMAX.
Hartford City Times: Senator Voorh ees has
voluntarily rendered his services to the tally
sheet foreers, under indictment in the
United States Court at Indianapolis. The SEN
ator has been guilty Of many odious acts, but
this last caps the climax"
AS TO SENATORIAL DIGNITY.
Greensburg Standard: From the haste with
which Senator Voorhees, volunteered for the de-
Tense of the Indianapolis tally-sheet forgers, it
would seem that the regard for the much talked
of senatorial dignity is confined to the Republic
an side of the House."
A PULLING QUESTION.
Fairmount News: Senator Voorhees, has vol
unteered his services defend the Sim Coy
gang of tall y-sheet decorators. just how the
Senator can harmonic his action in this matter
with his obligations to his constituents is prob
lem too deep for honest men to fathom."
DEPRESSING TO FREE-TRADERs
Lafayette News: 1.-THE announcement of the
statisticians, that the year 1887 was the best
known in this country for the iron and
steel trade must be very disgusting to the Free
trade revenue reformers,' who can never be
really and thoroughly happy while this sort of
thing continues
GENERAL HARRISON
Frankfort Banner: General Harrison can
carry Indiana for the presidency beyond any
question He has as strong hold on his party
Morton, and there Is not citizen of the
State that does not honor his clear Christian
character, his commanding abilities and his gen.
tlemanly y demeanor"
THE SALOON MUST CO.
Auburn Dispatch: DAY by day the conviction
is deepening that the time of saloon domination
must soon to end. Men differ in regard
to the method of doing away with the evil. but
<ha 14rifv in, &IA
traffic, and it is simply question of time when
the saloon must CO."
HOPES IT IS Nor TRUE.
Goshen News: 1--WE are loath to believe that
Senator Voorhees, will leave his seat in the SEN
ate and take the peoples time and go to India a.
apolis to defend the gang, free of charge. If it
is true it shows that our senior Senator's ideas
of propriety very much dulled, which de-
serves just rebuke."
NOT AN INSPIRING SPECTACLE.
Lafayette Courier: Daniel W. Voorhees, in
the imposed role of defender Of the tally
sheet forgers. is not an inspiring spectacle
Ia IL just what one might expect of an high
official in the councils Of the Nation. 1t is
a painful illustration Of the deterioration of
modern statesma nship."
LABOR AND CAPITAL.
Middletown News: Labor and capital are so
closely related and so mutually dependent each
upon the other that they cannot afford to be at
war. When differences arise they surely
will, mutual concessions ought to be made upon
to the best possible advantage"
VOORHEES, AS A VOLUNTEER
Muncie News: Senator Voorhees, has volun-
teered to defesd the tally-sheet forgers. He

great a man. and he has waited patiently all
these years for an opportunity to distinguish

In the South. the party is already committed to

HIS STYLE.
Lafayette Courier: 1.-THE speech of Senator
Voorhees, might be printed alongside of Hon.
John Sherman's and used to advantage Re-
appealed to the mind and conscience of the
country. while the Indiana Senator simply re-
sorted to top-lofty word phrasing and glittering
