THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES,

The results of the Republican primar-
les of Saturday were almost without
exception thoroughly gratifying. The
object of the meetings was to elect men,
bers of the various county committees
and delegates to district conventions to
choose members of the State commit
tee. The meetings were largely at
tended and were marked by a degree of
earnestness and enthusiasm which
augurs well for the future success of the
party. Considering the fact that there
was no special inducement in the way
of speech-making or other campaign
attractions to draw crowd the attend
ance at the meetings was gratifyingly
large, while the spirit manifested was
one of earnest devotion to the Repub-
lican cause. So far as can be judged,
the selections of county committeeman
and of delegates to the district conven-
tions were judicious and satisfactory.
The indications are that the county COM
mittees generally will be composed of
live, working Republicans, and there is
every reason to believe that the State
committee will be selected with the same
degree of care.
The meetings received additional in
terest from the fact that in some locali-
ties the Observation-Disclosures Republic
ans had been actively at work for some
time making preparations to capture
the meetings and control their action.
~f hi h1
suits should be entirely satisfactory to
the friends of the administration and of
President Harrison. As matter of JUS
tice, State pride and good politics, there
ought not to be any opposition what
ever to President Harrison in his own
State. That there should be is one of
the curiosities of politics, but no more
surprising than that there has always
been more or less opposition to Mr..
Blaine in his own State, and
that John Sherman had to fight
for his last re election to the
United States Senate from Ohio.
1t seems to be rule of politics that
wherever a man of decided ability at
tains political prominence in any State,
developing strong following, he also
develops some opposition. No man can
make many friends without making
some enemies. Mr.. Blaine has them,
Mr.. Lincoln had them, Garfield had
them, Conkling. Morton, John A. Logan
all had them. The fact, therefore,
that there Is some opposition to Presi-
dent Harrison among Republicans in his
own State is not without precedent, al
though we think it without justification.
1t never was very strong, it is losing
ground every day, and before the ma
tiOnal convention meets there will be
practically nothing left of it.
In the meetings of Saturday the anti
Harrison Republicans may have eot a
county committeeman here and there,
and perhaps few delegates to the dis
trict conventions, but not enough to
amount to anything. AS a political
movement their demonstration was a
failure. though it was beneficial in dem
onstrating that the President is strong
among the people and that the opposi-
ton to him grows out of purely personal
reasons. If the anti-Harrison Repub-
licans in Indiana are satisfied with the
result his friends certainly are, so there
is no reason why all should not be happy.

SENATOR SHERMAN recently remarked
that "the man whom the Democrats
should nominate is Senator Carlisle, of
Kentucky, but he is on the wrong side
of the Ohio river" If Senator Sherman
lived south of the Ohio river it would
make no difference with the Republican
party. Why should it with the Demo-
cratic? The Northern Democrats who
have been voting all these years for men
who did their utmost to help the confed-
crate cause ought not to have scruples
about voting for Kentucky man who
during the war was mildly in favor of
the Union cause.

One of the great leaders of the Farmers ALI
ance is claiming that John Sherman has gained
great wealth by his many corrupt methods and
questionable positions as q legislator. VIII you

When any great leader makes such
charges against John Sherman. Grover
Cleveland or any other public man. de-
mand of him full evidence to sustain it.
In the case of Mr. Sherman, there is no de-
Tense to make, because his record as pub
lie man is above question. He is man of
some wealth. because. during his life time,
he has been a prudent and sagacious busi-
ness man. He has been connected with q
profitable manufacturing enterprise in
Ohio, and has realized from real-estate in
vestments both in Washington and Mans
field. No man who has any regard for his
word will affirm that Mr.. Sherman has
been benefited by any vote of his more
than other people. 1t is a very old SANDER.

CONCERNING COLONEL CoEaER.

Colonel Conger, of Ohio, played very
disreputable part in Indiana politics on
Saturday. Colonel Conger is opposed to
President Harrison because he was not
permitted to name the postmaster at
Akron. His right to oppose the Presi-
dent for that or any other cause is un-
questioned, but he should confne his
opposition to the bounds of decency and
not undertake to NEEDLE in the local
politics of other States than the one in
which he lives. Colonel Conger is in
terested in the glass works at ElwOod,
and his business interests in this State
furnish pretext for occasional visits
here under false pretenses to NEEDLE in
Indiana politics. On Saturday he was
in Anderson, at the head of a crowd of
at least one hundred men from Elwood
and vicinity, who wore Blame badges.
They had been drummed up by Colonel
Conger, and were brought to Anderson
for the purpose, if an opportunity Of
fered, of trying to control the conven-
ton there. Many of these persons were
Democrats, and they had free transpor-
tation from Elwood and their expenses
paid. This dirty work was organized
by Colonel Conger and others act
ing with him. The only reason why
his crowd did not capture the conven-
ton or make an open attempt in that
direction was bec&nse they found it
would not be expedient for them to do
So An overwhelming majority of the
convention were in favor of Harrison,
and if the Conger crowd had attempted
to run the convention they would have
been promptly suppressed, and the Dem
ocrats in the crowd would have been
elected from the hall. Of course, there
are Blaine men in Madison county. as
there are in nearly every other county
in the State and country, and those who
are honestly so are entitled to respect;
but there is no room for such feeling
towards politician from q neighbOring
State who persists in trying to make his
sore toe an issue in Indiana politics. In
the recent senatorial contest in Ohio
Colonel Conger was for Foraker, and
when the Republicans of this and other
States expressed their preference for
Sherman they were CURLY informed that
the Republicans of Ohio could manage
their own affairs. Colonel Conger will
please take notice hereafter that the
Republicans of Indiana are quite as
little in need of outside assistance as
those of Ohio.

IT is impossible to read the statements
of the Baltimore sailors in regard to the
Valparaiso affair without being con-
vinced that they tell the truth, and that
the Gillian authorities have been trying
to conceal it. Not only do their stories
bear internal evidence of truthfulness,
but they all agree in stating that the at
tack on them was premeditated, unpro-
voked and simultaneous in different
parts of the city. Whatever the final
action of the CHILEAN government may
be, its course thus far has been disin-
genuous and contemptible.

fair. The News was not the author of

from the Chicago Herald, whose echo on
these matters the News is. At the time
the Journal asserted, with the letters of
two of the firms in it's possession, that
the statements made regarding the cut
in the wages paid were false. Of course,
the News did not make the correction,
and it will not heed the long list of de-
malls which manufacturer in this city
