WHO FOR GOVERNOR IN 1888?

Kokomo Dispatch: One of the hopeful signs of the times political in Indiana is the multiplicity of candidates for the Gubernatorial nomination before the Democratic State convention of 1888. This faith in Democratic success in the year of the great national contest means much for the partv in power. It means that tie Hoosier Democracy will be thoroughly united in the common cans* of good government. It means that we will not, as in 1886, enter the contest divided and distracted by factional fights in five of the thirteen Cong.essional districts of the State. It means a harmony of sentiment and a unison of hands that has never failed of success at the polls for fifteen years. The party was never in finer fighting condition the year before a national campaign th«n it is today. All sactional rancors have bsen healed by mutual forbearance and concession. No jealousies rankle in the breasts of our leaders. The rank and file—the boys in the trenches —are united and in splendid trim so • the great engagements of 1888. Besides the community of local interests that abound in every county in the State, there are our Congressional, State and national tickets to be elected. — Above and beyond all this, Indiana is a Democratic Stste under equal advantages with the enemy. The drift, the per centage, the odds are ■»ith us always. With a fair State ticket and prudent management, Indiana is assuredly Democratic next year. These conclusions do not presuppose an easyl victory. The scales are so evenly balanced that we must expect a hard and stubborn fight. The enemy, though vut-numbered and out-generaled, will give battle with all the energy of despair. But on an even plain the Democraey will win by a larger majority than usual. On such a close margin, the Democracy can not afford many blunders. No ammunition should be wasted. The reserve should be held for the enemy at short range. In the judgment of The Dispatch, no emergency confronts the party in Indiana in 1888. No talismanic name is the ultimatum of success. We are in no wilderness and no Moses is required to lead the party to the Promised Land of glorious victory. Therefore are we opposed to the dragooning of Senator Voorhees for Governor, as the Shelbyville Democrat urges should be done. The Senator does not want the nomination, nor, indeed, would he fill the office if elected, if he consulted his own feelings in the matter. There is no doubt on this scere, as the following extracts from a private letter to the editor of The Dispatch—in answer to one on this subject direct —will attest:

Tbrre Haute, ) September 21,1887. J J. O. Henderson- Dear Sir: — Your kind favor of th? 19th. has been received and the contents carefully noted. It has never for a moment entered my mind to be a candidate for Governor, Nothing could be further from my wishes or inclinations. I would say in straight, dir<ot terms that I would >ot accept a nomination for Governor, but for the fact that a man who has been honor’d as 1 have been has no right, even seemingly, to dictate to his party, and especially when no offer has been, or is likely to be made. I wish you, however, as one of my most cherished friends, Jto write, and act against all suggestions looking to my nomination. What is dearer far to me than any office in the world is to have the approval of fair, just-minded people; and, while I can secure such approval as you express for what I have already done, it matters little to me when my labors close. Alll desire for my epitaph when gone, is that I was true to

my friends, true to my party, and consequently tiue to my country. Very Faithfully Yours, D. W. VOORHEES. This letter though not intended for publication is given to the Democracy of the State because it so completely and fiankly covers the question of Senator Voorhees’ candidacy. It is in the highest sense delicate, modest, high-minded, end straight-forward. It is creditable to the Senator’s heart and mind. It is authentic and ought to be a finality on the subject. While The Dispatch would f3teem it a work of love to assist in furthering any ambition that Senator Voorhees might have, it accepts his words as his desires on the Gubernatorial question. t Then as the field appears at this time—with Senator Voorhees out —there are a dozen or more names that would grace the hea<’ of the ticket and lead us on to certain victory in 1888. Without committing The Dispatch to the candidacy of any man at this time, we shall name them them as they are recalled to our mind: Therein Judge Niblack, of the Supreme bench, an ex-Represent-ative in Congress, an able jurist, and a name once mentioned in connection with the highest office within the gift of the electors of the Republic. Col. C. C. Matson, thrice a Representative in Congress, and one of th© most promising young men in public life. A man of brains —with a brilliant record on the field and in civil life. Hon. A. G. Smith, the plucky State Senator from the county of Jennings, who stood like a stone wall against th© attempted usurpation of the Republicans in the last Legislature—whose courage and rock-ribbed Demoorac, secured to the State the fruits of their victory, the election of a Democratic United States Senator. Gen. M. D. Manson, the hero of two wars, and the idol of the soldiery of Indiana —a man of affairs, whom the Democracy love to honor—as honest as the sun and as brave as a lion. Hon. Robert T. Bell, an ex-State Senator from Alien county—adroit, polished, and a consummate diplomat. Hon. W. 8. Holman, “the watch dog of the treasury,” whose name is a household word all over the Union. One of the most conspicuous members of Congress—the enemy of frauds, shams and jobs —the Cincinnati of the Hoosier State and a man of national reputation. . Hon. A. C. Downey, an able jurist, an ex-Supreme Judije, and a man of remarkable ability. Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, an ex-United States Senator and big enough for President of the United .States. A man beloved and honored wherever the name of Democracy is known. Hon. W. R. Myers, ex-Repre-sentative in Congress and ex-Bec-retary of State. A man of fine social qualities with a fine record as a soldier and a civilian. Hon. W. D. Bynum, a Representative in Congress, a big, brainy young Democrat —one of the ablest of the oounger crop of Democrats in the State. Hon. C. L. Jewett, ex-Speaker of the Lower House of the General Assembly, a fine parliamentarian, an eloquent orator, and oiie of the most brilliant young men in the State. Doubtless other names have been mentioned oi whom we have not heard. All of the above have been mentioned in connection with the Governorship—any one of whom could win success. , mb The Chicago Times: “The Republicans are ‘beefing’ and groaning wofully over the president’s magnificent reception in the West, but they might as well make up their minds to the inevitable fact which it portends —his re-election ky such a majority as was never seen before in a presidential election.”
