THE INDIANA ' STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 27, 1876.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT 27. Everyday iLe prospect of the Democ Jacy In thin s'ate grow brighter. Surprise la expressed m mere was no more visible oom motion on tbe occasion of the explosion at Hell Gate. We bave not beard from China vet. Tbe meeting at Franklin SUurday ia conceded to be the fij6st political gather lue tbat ever took placa In tbla tat Tea miles ol a procession look as If the people wore in earnest. Anthony, tu Radical candidate for gov erucr oi Kiew, is on the ragged edge and Will moat likely bare the fate of Ortb and more deservedly. When Kansas Re publicans who are now sitting cn his case can not ensure msn. he in bad Indeed. The cruo.ty ot tat K -publicans seems to have no b unds. Was it not enough tbat ho should qiietly retire and leave tbe party to do better, bat must now be forced to endure the additional odium ol enter iaining Jim Blaine at Lafayette? Poor Orth! Two of tbe leading Republican orators that tbe Radicals of this state bave brought here to teach tbe people of Indiana tbelr political do'.i?s were reporled by Brlstow, Jane 19, 1876. as defaulters to tbe govern ment. Reform within the party with yengeance! What has the Journal to eay to tblaT General L gau a lew years since de nounced the txtravagant expenditures ot the war department. It kicked op a row In the Radical camp and the gallant gen eral surrendered to the cormorants, and la Dow fighting to continue tbe prty in power tbat was guilty of tbe extravagance. The L-g.npur Paaio of yesterday contains an account of tbe most d isgueting bf attiality on ihe part of G?n. O'Neil, the Irish orator, whom the R -publican are sending over this atate to advocate tbe Hijfcä ard Wheeler cu9e. What bave the peop'e of Indiana done that they must D: afil.oted itn these beastly exbibitlots by H-ifCbl-c-n rra'or?

Tbe soldiers' rtuuion in Indianapolis, which the Radical party, under tbe lead of Morcn, i oped to make a po ential factor in advat.ciog the interests of Have and Wbeeler'and grandson Harrison, dla rjoi come up to tbe rxpectatioLS oi tbose who, regardless of all pitriotio consider aVioos, aod latent only on leraonal and party aggrrdia'ment, sought to make the ocoson fmitful of hates, Instead ot those bight r and boiler sentiments wnicb adorn and dignify humanl y, and which, In the days of pacA, must be brought into action if we are ever to bave a united ocnotry. There are acta oi mer, intent only to stcure selfish ends, so detestable that it is d ffl ult to characterise them as they deserve, d the thief ae or, aittrs and abettors in tbe work of reviving war enmities among soldiers by this means, escape tbe excoriations their perfidy Justly merits. We can conceive of nothing more losp'rirg of patriots emotions nothing better calculated to set d tbe hot blood coursing through vain and artery, than tbe onnvng together of vet. raos who, baying born the country'- fltg triumphantly through 1 tbe fire and a oke of battle, meet in a ter years to racoon t their deeds of devotion, and to renew old friendships. The pariot la purpoof the reunion is not so znucn to recount woriflc-8 and suffertrg-, aa to indoles In g' neroui estimates of t-e beoeflbi and bieaxlrts their vlor secured to tbelr countrymen, friend and toe. In this re.ardibe Union soldier may. pcict with exultant pride to a Union re-

svirtd, to a flag tbat symbolizes one coun. try, and, with still higher and holier emotiooM, to tbe tact tbat tbe men who met them aa foes in many a bard fought battle, are now hia frlerjda, his countrymen, his fellow-citizens tbat tbeir swords are now their plow shares, and tbelr ?pears tbelr pruning hooks, that their ways are now tbe waja ot pleasantness, acd that all tbeir paths are paths ol peace, of friendship and good will. Reunions that have for tbeir object such beneficent purposes can not be too frequent, they' would hasten tbe glad day when the last vestige of sectional animosities would disappear forever. But unfortunately tbe vile demagogues who are eo deavortng to perpetuate Grantism under tbe cover of Hayes and W beeler, bave ett about thediity workot fanning the fltmes of stctlonal hate, of reviving war as perbies, and a spirit ot vindictlveness, and tor tbla infamous purpose tbey set ab nt the work of having a soldiers reunion in Indianapolis Mauy soldiers were misled by these appeals Some came to me.t old comrade in arms, without regard to the purpose of tbe demagogues, but the great mas of Indiana veterans remained away, and by tbelr abBinoe rebuked those who bad de ermlntd to use them to help on their dirty work. Tjo6 who cams bad a beany we come, b it tbe nutnbar fell so much below th? es . mates of Mortod, Harrison and these who operate toe party machinery tbat it is well understood that the affair haa done the Raaical party la Indiana vastly more harm than good. Indiana soldieis ds re a united country. Tbey see th ir southern brethren exerting every energy of mind and b jdy to rebuild the waste place made desolate by war. Tbey know them to be brave and worthy ot their confidence and sympathy, and tbey are nodisposed in time ot peace to pursue tbem as ii they W6re armed foes in tbe field. All nonor to such noble lr&pulee; tbey dignity and adorn humanity, demonstrating

that tbe days of cbiyalry are not passed away forever. Tbe appeals of such dem gogucs aa Morton ara of no avail. Tbe s 1 d ersof Indiana, and none were braver, bave done themselves Infinite credit by indicating to tbe manage of tbe Sol diers' Ran aion, tbat in tbe tumre they are cot to be mda tramping advertise ments of a party whoe distinguishing feature is thieving, and hundreds oi whose r p-isentative men are in the penilenlary. Hjtt' Irpvrlj-, O lb od Taxes. The Rtdical party thought it had a g oo thing fg-iinst Tilden when it trumped up eis Income return, and tbey made tbe most of the monstrous lie which wa coin eJ aau circulated to job a pure man ot bis good name and detest the Democrat io party in Us efforts to secure tbe bless ings of good government and pat R.

Bat te lie has not panned out well, to t r e.n tbe purposes of tbose who set it t float are concerned, but in another way, rever ex pected by Its autbora or tbe party in whose interests it was spawned, it ii giv ing tbem a vast deal ot trouble, and is liaely to be of service to tbe couotry by ar iQlng a determination to gt at tne trui inwaraaes ci uayen. The New York Concmf rcial Advertiser, in one ot its homilies upon honesty, re marks tbat "a man wbbas cheated tbe government can not be trusted to reform it, cor can one who is known to Lave worn falvely on one occasion be relied, od ti esk ihe truth on another."

HewcuBub-Xepolism. Tbe RppubliC4n H:ate Convention set the eximple of nominating a partisan political ticket. Newcomb being its nominee for this district. Tbe Republican county convention ot Marion county, met aod followed tbe example set by tbe Republican Mate Convention, and nominated a partisan Jadi cial ticket. Atteewarda tbe Democratic Conventions met, and could not do otberthaa nominate candidates of their own party. If party nominatl ns for udicial offices are wrong, wbo set tbe example? Wuy, these hypocritical caetera about tbe apoolntment ot Judge Burns by Gov Hendricks. Judge Burns was the nominee of tbe Democra a forjudge of tbeSupeilor Court. Newcomb was tbe partisan nominee oi 'be Republicans for the SupremeCourt. .4 w comb resigned bis Superior judgsbip. That made a vacancy for a term cl twenty daje, tj be filled by appointment of tbe goverujr. Wa im snould tbe governor appoint? He must appoint a partisan nominee if be appointed either applicant ne a Republican partisan, tbe otbtr a Democratic p rtisan. Wbo would niturally be epp inteUT There were two resp-ctable recommenda iocs on file one tor Bdrne, one lor Aewcomb. The gover oor, as be bad to elect betw ean two par tiiau., appointed tbe Lemacrat, and be did right. But it you hive tears prepare to tä! d them now at bearing wba; followed Itisthi?: The statute provides tht each judge eball appoint bis own b -11 iff. Ac ing under tbis statute, J udge Nt wcomb turned out Dr. Bdibour, a Democrat, and ap pointed not oiily a Rtpub.icin in his place, ' but bis owu ctpaaw it was use e and nephew a ld uador age, perhaps not leg illy qualified to bul l tbe appointment, a bitter pittisaa, and not too aceo tn ui td at i n g. Wteo Judge Burns came to the bench, following partially the exenipie fret by Newcomb, be app Meted his owu bailiff, a wonby young man, bat aa adult, though not a nephew. In this connection, as showing tbe hypocrisy ot tbe Republicans tn tbis matter, we might raft r to the fact ttut w en tbe D an.crtn ciired tue City Council, tb'y (.rinittei Judge E liot to serve out hid term as city a'U rney, but aj sonn as tbe R publicans carried tbe ci y laat airing, tbey jad9 haste to turn out Mr. By field, arjd put Mr. Hawkins in bia pace.

The following from the Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Et quirer is a general glance at the congressional situation in Indiana: Tbe Indiana Democracy at present have 8 Congressmen out ol the 13, and a survey ot tbe congressional dis tricts will now give the best poss.ble insight into tbe probabilities of the approaching election. A lew words or ex planaiion: During tbat crusade movement of 1S74, when tbe Democratic maj )rity from Indiana was obtained w tn tbe help of the German and Liberal vote, the Republican poll was muca lowirtaanit will be thfc year. Tbey baa no courage men, and knew the fight was a forgone Waterloo for them.

The Demccrata want McLean, the R publicans, Morton Hunter, and tbe Icdepndenis, eld Perry Davis, ot Vermilion.

Put down the Elebtb a doubtful, with D-mocratlc nrobahllltles and Independent possi bill ties. NINTH DISTRICT. Triangular fight. Georgs McWilliams. ot Covington, Democratic; Mike White, of Crawfordsville, Republican; and Leroy C. Templeton.Independsnt. The district polls 32 000 votes, all counties, giving majorities varylcg from 100 to 300 except Warren aod Tipp canoe, whicb bare been Repub lican together by about frJO to 800 votes. In Fountain county the Independents ara tror g, but in all ether locat es the rarty Issues are etra'gbt. Tne district la R publican, but is not hopelessly lott this time. A Blight surprise i in tore lor soms one. TKJJTH DISTBICT. Another triangular fight Dr. Uaymond, of Monllcello, is recomlDated by the Democrats, and Major W. H. Calkins, of Ltporte, by the Republican-, while the Independents bang out George W. Majors of Rensselaer. Osymnd went in on tbe tidal wave ot 1874 by 632 msjirity.but sickness bas prevented him from making a vigorous canvass, and he has furthermore lost some German strength in Lake county by being connected with tbe Chicago and Souti Atlantio road, which swamped tbe people of Lke. He has rraie l lmself poor in trying to psy cfl theee claims, though be Is net legl!y re ponslble tor them, and ia gaining ground to-day. Cs'kins is ' a di-ptay figure, wbo travels on hs share and smiles like ' re fce of Soring. Dr. Daymond is not a politician, tut a profound scholar and an honest man. Calkirs is a Jibber, wboee only relation to tbe people ot bis oistr ct is diemdltab'e. Wcl e in the S a e Senate be lobnied fcr a scheme to drain tbe Kar kakee lands tor tbe sordid purples oi epecu'aiion, and this in rising against him in Judme- t now Helsenrgeiic, ui ecru pa I' u-, oily and donbletonsued, aud is niakisr a vigorous canVHSM. If Haymrnl continue to satisfy bis German friends in Lk county that be is not reeponsible tor tteir lotses, for bis own 1s was leaver, but that be nevertheless going nut of bis way to satisfy mem, and ii he kp d amoup to bis ticket, good-by Calkins. Tbe latter only rlims to be two butidr'd ahead, and Usymor d may still be able to clear it off. Count it R publican now. ELEVENTH DISTRICT. Tbis gave Brown agaioet Hendricks a majority of two thousand six hundred in 1S72, and is still counted a Rpublican district. Uncle Jimmy Eraos, of Noblesville, is up for a second term, but bas the most popular man la tbe district t compete with, Col. Ad. Armstrong, of Kokomo. . Armstrong, when running for s ate Senate, walked aw-y witb Howard county, R publican, by eibt bundred majority. Atl Ire bave changed materially in tbis di-triet. Graham N. Fitch, wbo tbe stra'sht out movome it ag.tinst Greeley in 1872, and thus cut down tbe mfij irlty in Cars lor Hendrlck, is now in full sympathy I h both na total snd state tickets, and id ti q ieec of tbla and the energy of the Y uig Democrscy undr R itus Maeee, Cas will go from 600 to 1 000 f r tbe ticker, whiie Miami and Tip'Ou will b tb uive it cr j,sl mj rities. Armstrong's personal p opuiaritv is a great power. He Is uiakl ga (ro ical, bandsoaklna; cavaa. Put flown tbla district as doubtfully R public-?.

Here if a iotber oue of those anomalies n politics. Atter going R puMican in 1872 by 1 881 majority, it alloaed Joan Biker to squeeze into CoDgress two years ago by just 52. Ü4 has the sa ne old contestant today, old farmer K-lley ol Noble. Kel ey was a prominent leader in tbe grange movement, out of which the Independent bosinees was evolved, and now haa tbe dvanae ovei Biker of s'ar.dlDg solid with this Independent el-ment, wheae suiport be can conot tpiu in the absence ot any regular iDdepident nomine. H la Greenbsck enongb to suit evea "Plan" Buchanan, and bas secured tne open a -op ration of prominent Independent on local ticke'a liie Judge Tousv, of Noble. Marshall will IncreaaA ber lismocra'ie majorliies, wblcb stood firm at six hundred all during tne war, while E knart will bold br own over from the vote of 1874, and La Gianga will not bold ber own on R publican maJ trltles, as leaders of the party there conrese to aie. Ia ordinary times tbe District would be unqua;tonably RepubliC4n, but it Kelley wins nobody but a Republican neert e. ah-ck'd From Maine to California, tbe same credit is given to Dr. J. H.
