Some two years since, in answer TO
charges OF disloyalty because Of the
recognition Of those who had once been
rebels, the Indiana Ph0J0nr produced
the following partial list of "rebel" APP
pointments, made by the crowd now 30
prolessedly loyal, and at whose party
altar loyalty 10 the republican party
would seem TO be the particular test Of

and does not include the rebel brigader, General
Malone, the leader vi the republican party In

In looking over the above list of "rebel"
stars that have decked the republican
ship, and then calling to mind the weight
and power of President H. L. Polk TO
create such a stir among the old line
politicians, one would almost involun-
tarily think; "If only President Polk
had united with the republican party
instead Of the alliance; how he might
have become a Settle, Malone or an
AkeTmsn." CONSISTENCY.
