Voorhees, LATE SPEECH.
How the Senator's Anarchistic Views Are Re-
ceived by Editors of the County Papers.

Terre Haute Express: Senator voorhees,
expressed desire to hang Carnegie and a
few others. He now would include the

ported the Bloomfield speech. "as she was

Lafayette Courier: In making his Bloom
field speech, Senator Voorhees, took himself
entirely out of the realm of politics and set
himself up as an enemy of good govern
ment. 1t is not because he chooses to pose
as a Democrat that he deserves to be con-
demnej. but for anarchist sentiments and
utterances that are nothing less than
reasonable,
Shelbyville Republican: Simply because
Carnegie is wealthy the great Voorhees,
wants him hung. Ii the soldiers had had
their way during the war Voorhees, would
have been hanging from the limb of tree.
1t was only through the mercy of some Re-
pub1icans that he was not dealt with as
violently as he now desires to do with the
wealthy men of the country like the Car
negies.
Elkhart Review: Senator Voorhees, mado
one of his demagogical haranguesa at Bloom
field, Ind, last Saturday. in which he told
the listeners that all rich men ate their
bread in the sweat of the poor mans face,

and talking only drivel for few hours
each year shows what a consummate dema-
Columbus Republican: Voorhees, speech

speech. Full of false statements and mis-
representations from end to end, it APP
pealed to the lowest passions and prejudices
of men, and could only be appreciated by
ignorant Democrats who never read any
thing and know only what they are told by
such Democrats as Voorhees,. Daniel is
now one ahead of Isaac p, and we shall
doubtless hear from Isaac shortly.

that could only infiame the spirit of an
archy and bloody revolution. 1t was an
effort to array class against class In the
hostility which can only find a vent in a
resort to force. 1t was an address remark
able for its lack of truth, it's poverty of
argument and and its burden of venom.
Parsons Spies and their fellow criminals

TO report accurately the speech of Senator
Voorhees,, delivered last Saturday at
Bloomfield, Greene county. For several
weeks the Democracy of that portion of
Indiana had been preparing for a tariff
reform meeting to be addressed by Voor-
hees 1t was their purpose to afford him
an opportunity to bid to succeed himself
and score point against Gray in the bitter
contest pending between these two aspir-
ants for the senatorial succession. 1t is
well that his incorporate and incendiary
utterances are preserved in cold type. His
latest appeal to passion and prejudice
makes up the completest piece of shameless
demagogy ever displayed in Indiana.
