The Weakly. Enquirer.-sOme Com


ments ON the Last Issue.


This delectable sheet came out or
Wednesday with choice mess of stuff fol
its readers to digest until election. We make
a few quotations and extracts, with running
comments, in order to show the aninlus ol
the Gavitt organ and the public apprecia-
ton of its maudlin effusions


"We will roll up such majority for the
| entire State and County ticket on Tuesday
next as will astonish even ourselves" &C.


No doubt of it. Judging by tho gloom
which overspreads your hearts, you will be
much astonished not to be beaten next
Tuesday most signally.


Go it Yancey | You have all the
| pluck OF your party in yourself and pretty
much all of its patriotism"


Very complimentary to the Breckenridge
and Lane men, indeed. Now, would per-
son think the Douglas -Gavitt organ would
be willing 70 receive the Votes of these
"traitors and disunionists." Read this
and see how gracious the Enquirer waxeth I
"The Breckenridge men will vote the
State and County ticket" If
we do have little family trouble in regard
to Presidential matters, we do not intend to
permit outsiders to come in and settle it for
US. We intend to elect the State ticket by
10000 majority, and we intend to elect
Judge Law in this district by 5000 majori-
ty, and we intend to elect the Vanderburgh
county ticket by 500 majority"


Outsiders " Ask a Breckenridge man
and he will tell you that Douglasito is as
much an outsider as a Bell or Lincoln man.


CA little family trouble " Oh, yes;
that phrase is decidedly good If one of
two married. people prove unfaithful to the
marriage VOWS, and di0orce ensue, and the
unfaithful one form an illicit connection
with a deadly enemy of the injured one,
that is little family trouble" Very un-
important matter, indeed, in the Enquirer s
estimation 1t will grow in Importance
after next Tuesday, in our neighbors optics.
The Breckenridge spouse don't profess, we
believe, in its creed or practice to be govern
ed by free lore principles. Wish we could
say as much for the Douglasites and GER
tain few of the Bell leaders.


None Of the nominees of our party ex-
pect to decline to make the race, bat all will
run through" &c.


They started with very little capital, and
are fast running through with that. The
" last red will go next Tuesday.


AS a leader, the Enquirer has long ar
ticle, hooked bodily from the State Sen
tinel, without credit raising great hue and
cry about contemplated Republican frauds.
1t is the old cry of " stop thief" to cover up
the contemplated importation from Ken
lucky and Southern Illinois to defraud the
honest masses of the Pocket by voting out
siders against them.


The Douglas organ complains that the
Journal calls the Democracy "black-
guards" This is not so. Some of the most
estimable gentlemen of the city and county
belong to that organization, and we never
had thought of casting an imputation on
any except those who have so little decency
as to march under those infamous transpa-
rencies that have been paraded through the
streets by the Gavitt rowdies few times
to insult respectable people. We insist on
it that any person who viii countenance
the carrying of those transparencies (the
indecent oues) is a blackguard.


The organ insists that all Democrats vote
the Democratic ticket. And yet its master,
Gavitt, appeals to Republicans to vote for
him What impudence, especially after
heaping every infamous cpithet on them all
summer. Any Republican entertaining the
least self respect, will turn his back on
Gavitt when he asks for his vote.


The organ represents that We said that
the meeting at the Court House the night
Gavitt made his defense was composed of
rowdies. We said no such thing. We
stated that the Sheriff had gang of his ruff
fans there to interrupt other speakers when
they said anything that their master didn't
relish This is true Mayor Baker was not
allowed by them to make a personal explain
alton in answer to one of Gavitt's unfound-
ed attacks.


Judge Pitcher is called "an old fogy"
and a. tyrant of the first water " by the
Clique Organ He IS an old fogy, indeed,
in law, if by that be meant a thorough
jurist of the old school, in contradistinction
to such " constitutional lawyers as Stinson
and Willard He as +" a tyrant of the first
water" if by that phrase be meant Judge
who makes schening administrators, execu-
