Confident Claims in Indiana
Judge Gresham is quoted as saying that
this wear Indiana Is as surely Democratic
as Kentucky, while l. T. Mlchener, who
managed the successful Republican canvass
of 1883, is sure that it will give Harrison an
increased majority. After New York the
Hoosier State is the one to which the poll
ticisns are turning with the most interest,
mot to saw anxiety. The Democrats base
their hopes of victory there upon the claim
that Indiana 10 naturally Democratic, that
the adoption of the Australian ballot will
discourage manipulation of the blocks of five
order, and ah alleged Republican disaffec-
tion with the administration. The Harrison
leaders deny that this disaffection is serious
and point to the advantage they have on
State issues because of largely increased
| taxation under Democratic Legislature.
They argue that many friends OF e1-Gov-
| ernor Gray are sore because OF his turning
down at Chicago, and, finally, expect State
pride in the President and the Development
of industries in the gas belt to turn the tide
| in their favor.
Harrison's 8 lead in 1883 was 2, 34s, and in

 TIE TINES is not in the habit of making apologies for it's appearance and would not do so now, except that our friends are not inclined to give us credit for an unusually good paper last week, considering the circumstances under which we had to labor and the matters with which we were compelled to fill our columns. The weather so affected the roller that 1t was impossi- ble to get clear impression of the type, and we did not have time to pro- cure d new one. As to what the paper contained, il is true that to those who read the daily papers, the platform of the national democracy given in full was stale reading, as was also the proceedings of the judicial convention to those wlio participated therein. But aside from these two lengthy ar ticles the paper was full of the latest news from every quarter of the globe. Our local and editorial items were necessarily brief.

N hoNl btsAb thfpsNs Intelligence reached this city yester- day morning of lynehing at Haynes, | small station on the Iron Mountain road eIght miles south of this place just over the Lee line.
 The circumstances. as we gather them. are about as follow:
 On Tuesday afternoon last negro man went t0 q house on the Sampson
 place, near Haynes. and. at the point
 of a pistol, compelled F year-old col ored girl to accompany him to n neigh boring wood. Here he kept her until

 less-the mob was too numerous to be
 resisted by the force on hand, and,
 there being no telegraph office at Haynes, no assistance could be sum-
 moned. About 2 o'clock at night the lyneliing party of 200 or more repaired
 to the calaboose, stood off the officers, forced the door and. placing a rope around Donnelly's neck, dragged him
 to a neighboring tree, where he was quickly strung up. His neck was broken, and our informant, who eX-

The health of our town is moderately good.
 Master Bishop Brookes has been on the sick-liSt since our last wrlting, but IS now cOnvaleScent.
 We had splendid rain Saturday last. 1t was light and warm, and will be a great benefit to the lands that were packed SC hard from the excessive spring rains.
 We have a splendid Sunday-school, t, carried on under the suspicious man agemcnt of F. J. Nicely, who likes to serve his maker on Sunday, or when there is no one else or more importance to serve.
 Well, MT. Editor, l will give politics a tip. l am no politician, but l am q democrat, right t-sideup-with- care; and l don see how any man who has read all the party platforms since the toun- dalton Of our government cln he any thing else. But we cannot expect lib erality from such men as William Man ming, who, in all article published in J. E. Suttler's little Third-party sheet, asserts that in lS40 there was I bill in- troduced in congress in regard to na- tional banks. The republicans voted for it to n man, while the democrats all voted against it except two, who voted with the republicans. Tine bill was passed. Now this Third-party apostle charges the whole Democratic party with the wrong-doing of the republic ans and two democrats. Just think of such absurdity! It reminds me of the story of a family of twelve boys, ten of whom were Methodist preachers and two were horsethieves aud murderers. NarrOwmInded men charged the ten preachers with being horsethieves and murderers simply because their two brothers were such l would like for Mir. Manning to say whether or not these ten Godfearing and God-loving were men to blame for the thefts and mnrders committed by the two wayward brothers. If 50, then the Democratic party of today is to blame for the way those two men voted in lS40. In my next will have something to say about the origin and duration of the various parties that heve existed since the declaration of independence. BLACK.

THE TICKET.

The democratic ticket at the head of our columns speaks for itself. The voice of the people has been heard and every name thereon is worthy the sup port of every democrat i'll this county. Every individual thereon is thoroughly competent, able and honorable. The platform of principles upon which they ask the suffrages of the people are in the interest of the whole people and are the safeguards of this government. Every name there waited for the infor- nation aud consideration of the people is the embodiment of manhood and honor, intelligence and virture. Under an administration of affairs in their hands, the nation, the state and the district will prosper. From Cleveland to Roleson the Democratic party has thus far made no mistake. They have selected the standard-bearers from the great and good people. They are the peers of any in the country, regardless of political views. Especially is this true of the democratic nominee for prosecuting attorney, Mir. Roleson, of whom THE TIMES wishes to speak more at length.
 What is here said is in the interest of the Democratic party and it's princi- ples. and of good government. While Mir. Roleson is our warm personal friend We would not advocate his claims unless we were thoroughly con- yinced that he will, if elected, fill the office with credit to himself and honor to the people. When Mir. Roleson en- tered the field as candidate for the democratic nomination for the office of prosecuting attorney, his reputation as Il lawyer, his ability as an orator and thinker, and his large store of ready wit and good horse-sense were compara- lively unknown. This of itself should have been sufficient to defeat an ordi- nary man for that high office. But this was not all. The friends of other candidates urged his youth and inexpe- rience as an argument why he should not be nominated. The horizon was not bright at first for the friends of Roleson. But he went out among the people, and as the gentleman from Prairie county said, "eame into our county total stranger" and in the course of very few weeks he went into the convention with as many iirst-instructions as the Hon. Green field Quarles, who is much older man and an representing attorney, and more than any other candidate, and
