An Account Stated. The Democrats claim the administration of State affairs on the ground that they 'have a right to it.' What right, they don't take the trouble to explain, probably because it would be too much trouble. Certainly it would be, if they based it upon any previous use of power demonstrating capieitv or honesty. There is not in any other State in the Union such another rec- ' ord of unfailing and inevitable rascality as

that of the Democratic administrations of died wi:ri it on, and, in fact, be was buried the State of Indiana. There has never , in it. been an opportunity to steal that has not!

Rut there remains one other item about which little has been said. There used to be lying about tbe emptyrooms of the State tioo.se a great pile of old books, "accumulated during the pre ceding twenty years or so, which was so ! monstrous a nuisance that the Legislature, : 1 .,0- r 1 . 11 , . . , about lbat felt called upon to get r,d ot . it. 11 was not worm uve cents a volume, except to the paper maker. It consisted of old State Documents, Drcumentary Journals, House and Senate Journals, and similar rubbish, and stood as much chance of ever being called for as it did of Constituting the kindling stuff for the final conflagration.
