possible. But for him we would have
neither surplus nor country.

to- rather enjoy the shots of the enemy

Democracy of Indianapolis. He suffered
for the crimes of his party. Poor Coy!
poor partyl
Rushville Republican: People who
formed an idea that Ben Buffers mildest
dissipation was the use of vitriol as a bev-
erage, will be obliged to modify it. He
chewS gum!

income-tax law would be popular with tho
masses, and would have a tendency to
abridge the grasping avarice of wealthy
individuals and corporate monopolies.

will receive larger support than this.
Warsaw Times: more infamous pro-
ceeding than the retention of Sim Coy in
his place in the City Council of Indianap-

san politics. The man while serving q

open arms by his Democratic brethren. and
they gave banquet in his honor. He has
been in the penitentiary just long enough
to make Democratic hero.
