The existence Of the republic is de.

No party can go far wrong when
public opinion is aroused; and at the
polls, public opinion is expressed. So

FOR GOVERNOR A. II. BURKE.

The career of Andrew H. Burke
the republican candidate for COVER.
nor is the history of a "self made"
man and type of energy, courage
and manliness of which this nation
has had more examples than any
other.
Mr.. Burke was born i'll New
York city, May 18th, 1850. Here
he lived until eight years old. and
then moved to the state ofIndiana.
His mother died when lie was in
his infancy, and his father u few
years later. He began the strug.
gle of an orphan boy. From the
age of eight to twelve we find him
living on an Indiana farm main.
tanning himself by farm labor.
When the war broke out the
farmer boy Burke was but eleven
years old, but he was filled with
indignation at the democratic
slave NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., and his
patriotism asserted itself in an
unmistakable manner OH several
occasions.
A year later, when he was only
twelve years Of age, he enlisted il,
the 18TH Indiana volunteer infan.
try, as q drummer.boy. He served
in the 18th army corps, through
out the war under the redoubtable
leadership of "Pap Thomas" and
though a mere boy, yet the nervy
drummer.boy, OH several occasion.
gave an unmistakable evidence
that lie was not lacking in bravery
and patriotic devotion to the star.
and stripes. When the rebellion
was crushed and the nation pre-
served, he returned from the wal
with an honorable record-a full
aedged boy III blue-to receive that
homage and respect due the bray,
defenders of our nation.
The spirit of self.reliance so vel
developed, now asserted itself, ant
Burke determined-to educate him
self. He entered Ashburn univer
sity, at Greencastle, Indiana, with
out money, aud dependent upol
his own efforts for support. H
studied diligently and maintaine,
himself by saving wood and doinI
other manual labor that was offer
ed him. His health gave way un
der the severe strain, and he wa
obliged to leave the college hall
before completing his universit
course, but by unusual application
to his studies he secured a practi
cal business education, and perse
verance, he went into busy world
