Mahone of Virginia scud 'Lize Pinkston’s ghost are for John Sherman, of Ohio, in 1888.. Wolud-be-Lieut.-GrOv'. Robert" son has sued President A. G. Smith for $3,000 damages sustained by him in the injunction proceedings. hi up ♦ The Rho el and Ligislature is nine Democratic on joint ballot.— Our neighbors are not rejoicing muchly over the recent Republican victories. The grand jury investigating the altered tally-sheets, at Indianapolis all agree that they were altered, but that the evidence before it is sufficient to warrant an indictment against the pai ties selected by republicans for slaughter is not so clear and the republican members thereof have tendered their resignat’ons. This is a new phase of Republicanism. These fellows aie evidently of the “holier than thou” sor + , and should be jailed. John Sherman calls the United Labor Party a Democratic “sidwshow.” John has no fSve for a laboring man unless he is clothed with a black hide and votes the Republican ticket. Republican: The new route agents on the L., N. A. & C., ail democrats of course, make miserable work at handling the mails, ’’ etc. Jus as like they are republican route agents, old on other routes but new on this route. *-<§►. John Sherman denounces the workingmen movement as a sideshow of t e Democratic party.— If John should happen to be the Republican nomineelfor President in 1888, they will take pie :S re in showing him to a side * ack.

Judging from the tone of article referred to, we . would class it with political paper like our own “Message” anxious to be recognized as an organ—failing in that become sore, morose sour, alike with friend or so .

The “prominent Democrat” is a myth, a d the assumptions of the Public P ress are false. Try again, neighbor. *■«#»■. ■■ Ligonier Banner: “The s ttlement of pension claims uuder a Democratic administration has been much more prompt, rapid and satisfactory than it ever was under the Republicans. The evidence of tnis promptness and activity can be seen everywhere, but still the Republican press is as industrious as ever in preaching about Democratic opposition to tl e soldier.— Every day or two we hear of some old claim being allowed that had been hanging fire for years under Republican commizsioners and the returns from the different pension agencies show that the am’t expended at each quarter is’ steadTy increasing These facts are too plain so. dispute an' nobody but a blind partisan would claim otherwise.” /
