Republican Opinions of Mr. English.

[lndianapolis Sentinel.] It has not been a year since the Republican papers of Indiana were speaking of Hon. Wm. H. English as one of tbe strongest men in the State. The Terre Haute Courier (Rep.) said: “We warn our Republican friends now, that if the Democratic party puts Mr. English in the position to make a leader of him in this State next year, there are breakers ahead for us. - He is one of the strongest men in that party.” The Indianapolis Journal, the recognized organ of the Republican party in Indiana, said only a few months ago : ‘‘There is not in the Democratic party in Indiana a better politician, a better organizer or a man possessing more of the qualities of real statesmanship than WiUiam H. English .” It will he observed that since this was said there has been no change in the proprietorship of the Journal. Now in view of these declarations and the fact that Mr. English has never been defeated before the people, the present gabble of these same Republican papers about Mr. English being a weak man and unpopular, is contemptible in the extreme. They know it is not trae and say it only for effect abroad. Hancock and English will receive the cordial support of all the Democrats in Indiana, and many others whe have not heretofore belonged to that party.
