What Its Editors Are Saying About Current
Political and other Questions

that there is room for but one flag in this
country. Up with the stars and stripes!
Lebanon Patriot: Cleveland evidently
considers himself the only original pack
age' owned by the Democracy, and he is
ION tap" at all times.
Huntingburg Argus: The Republican
party may not do rything for the sol
dier that was expected. but it has done all
that ever has been done, and will do all
that ever will be done for him.
Marion Republican,: There is not the
least doubt that free trade would be good
for the world;at large. good for the house
of Hapsburg. good for Gladstone. good for
the Potiphers, but-not for Joseph.
Decatur Journal: The country believes
that any measure which the Democrats
vehemently oppose must be first-rate
measure to adopt This is one of the rea-
Washington Gazette: The Gazette does
not advise murder as cure for crime, but
If large reward was offered for each
White Cap dead or alive, q speedy end
would be made to the outrages of these
dare-devils.
L;afayette La; Courier: The people are grad
ually getting their eyes open to the impo-
sitioDs that have been practiced upon them
by the book trust, and the sentiment IN
favor of free textbooks is growing pro-
porti0nately.
Marion Chronicles: Voorhees,, in his
FIHQkIQ speech, went so lar Dack IN MS
tory as to attack Alexander Hamilton. Yet
it would be shaking the bloody shirt to
quote the reasonable speeches delivered
by Senator Voorhees, only twenty five years
ago.
Rushville Graphic: And now comes the
irrepressible Daniel of the Wabash and
says he didn't say the least thing against
the Farmers Alliance at his speech at
Franklin Tuesday. Daniel can say q thing
and then swallow it without ever batting
his eyes.
Shelby Republican,: The dire results pre-
dicted in and since 1878 as likely to follow
deprecated silver coinage have not come
along. and there is less fear of free coinage
than there was, but still the country is not
ready for it. and in financial confidence
opinion is everything.
Huntington Herald: Judging by what
we can see in free-trade papers, manufact-
urers are the greatest curse and the most
outrageous imposition ever inflicted upon
this country, and yet there is not city,
town, village or cross road in the United
States that is not after all it can get.
Evansville Journals: Amongst the i'm
be the essential modification of the new
election law. Its intent is laudable, but
the people will not long endure its inquisi-
torial and restrictive methods. The coun-
try precincts will be the first to protest
vigorously.
farmer is not fool enough to think he can
forever continue to mortgage his farm to
pay interest on previous mortgages yet
this Is just what the Indiana Democratic
legislatures have been doing The day
will come when the debt of Indiana must
be paid, and this continual borrowing to
pay off aecumulating indebtness must stop.
Winchester Herald: As everybody is not
happy and prosperous. and never can be,
there, is q Democratic party. 1t is COM
posed of the conservatives. the pull backs,
the growlers the grumblers, the kickers,
the discontented, the disgruntled, the dis
satisfied, the disappointed. 1t is an aggre-
CATION of political dyspeptics, and it's giant
stomach is ever sour.
Brookville American: Those guileless
Republican Congressman who fell into the
Indianapolis SentinePs trap and wrote
letters on the tariff, should not complain
at the full measure of Misrepresentation
and abuse they are now receiving from
that free-trade sheet. And they have not
complained so far as we know, but are
taking their punishment like little men.
Franklin Republican: Senator Voorhees,
had evidently been given the tip. The De-
mOcracy of this county are awakening to
the fact that the farmers are locating the
cause OF high taxes at the doors OF the De-
mocracy of Johnson county and the State
appropriations and incompetent manage.
ment of county and State affairs are the
causes of high taxes, and not the tariff
These take $40 from the pockets of the
farmers where the tariff does not take 81.
Gibson County Leader: So far as Gibson
county is concerned, it does not require
statistics to refute the calamity shriekf
about the impending bankruptcy of the
farmers of the country. No man who tray:
els through this county, meets the well-fed
and prosperous-Iooklngf farmers, and sees
their comfortable homes, could be deceived
for moment by any such bosh. The aver
age Gibson county farmer does NOT care
much about fashionable haberdashery ol
tailor-made clothes, but if there is anything
good going the rounds in the way of home
comforts he generally has it.
