MR.. vooRHIgs.s RECORD.

If it was worth while to show up Senator
Voorhees, war record, or rather his anti-war
record, and to expose the audacity of his
masquerading as the soldiers friend, Senator
Ingalls, did it very effectually. There was
nothing new to Indianians in what Senator
Ingalls, said. Mr.. Voorhees, course during
and since the war are we'll known here. His
letter recommending Francis Shoup for q
position in the Southern army; his reference
to Union soldiers as Lincoln hirelings" and
"dogs;;" his narrow escape from personal vio-
lence at the hands of body of Union soldiers,
are neither new nor startling to Indianians.
Mr.. Voorhees, now denies these incidents; but,
after all, they are merely incidents. The
main fact is, that during the war Mr.. Voor-
hees was in full sympathy with the anti-war
ring of the Indiana Democracy, at that time
the most reasonable organization in the
country, and if he ever disapproved of any Of
its disloyal principles, utterances. schemes or
acts, there is no evidence of it. Mr.. Voor-
bees was regarded, during the entire war
period, as a ''copperhead." As member of
Congress he did vote for the appropriation
and pension bills, but it would have taken a
drawer man than he not to do that Since
the war he has done many kind acts and per-
sonal services for soldiers, and has labored
hard to make reputation as the soldiers
friend; but this has nothing to do with his
war record. That is made, and can not b
unmade even by screaming ''liar, liar"

to secure the organization of Republican clubs
in every township and school district in the
State. It charged with its own electric en-
thusiasm the hundreds of Republicans who
were present; each goes home with a message
of inspiring power to those who were left be-
hind; each goes home prouder than ever be-
fore of the history and achievements of the
Republican party. Each goes home with a
firm determination to carry the Republican
colors to the front in the coming campaign.
