General Weaver says it? was impossible to get a- fait* count In Alalama. Remember that Toombs said: “If Htnccck ia dieted the Southern boys will rnn tlfe machine.” Dr. ElijahXewland a Democratic cx-treasuscr* of state has repudiated Landers, and come* out for Porter and live Republican state ticket. Wp-hope the Democrats will keep Jim Plunkett on the stump. We understand that lie is making Republic in votes wherever he goes. J. Keiser, editor.of the Winamao Republican , is the nominee of the Republicans of Carroll, White and Pulaski counties for state senator. Landers is going to debate with Porter in The Democrats should get a bushel basket and a shatter for Landets. —Inter Ocean. •SeveiiiY-ave workman in the De Pauw glassworks, at New Albany, heretofore Democratic, will vote the Republican national and state tick* ets this full.

If Ekinntr >» unable to define bit position a* to the state and national ticket, how can honest voters expect him to effect anything definite hi legislation. , Wade Hampton says that be ‘‘is perplexed and almost discouraged.” To honest people who have regard lor the purity of the ballot this will be cheering news. The courts will have full dockets after the' presidential eleotion. English will then sue for libel all newspapers that have made unfavorable mention of him. The exodus of Democrats in southern Indiana to the Republican ranks is creating a panic in the Democratic camp. Landers is re pndiated where he is best known* lion. J. N. Arman trout of Clinton ooanty was nominated By tbs Greeubaekers,. August 275th, at Lebanon, candidate for congress from the ninth district. There are now three Greenback congressional candidates that the lodiknapolis Sun indorses but Skinner is not one of vbem. » r

- Refering to Mr. Landers, the WrtF Albany Ledger- Democratic ssys: “Bet wbat have fro got? Jfh bolter, disorganizer, a flat looatie, an illiterate, stupid demagogue a coffee bouae, street corner nrxi r, and a man of whom every high minded Democrat ia ashamed. Why should a Democratic candidate for aheriff ran the gate to keep from paying hia way into the the Remington fair. If it probable that a man would make aoch an ak tempt in his sober moment*? Truly Remington whiskey needeth rectifying if it ha* tbe effect to cause peo pie to make anch nnrearonable at tempts. Frank Landers indorses the Republican party. In a recent speech at Bedford he aaid:'*““l have al ways been in favor of a sound policy, and since tbe Republican party has carried us to tbe point where wc now eland, we can’t afford to get away from it.” And afterward being questioned aa to whether be did make tbe statement replied, that he did and said: When I tell the truth I always stick to it.

James Greenback or What-not” candidate for Prosecuting Attorney has been ove r in Newton connty with Jim Plunkett confusing the minds of the people over there, on the political ifaties. James, aa yon hope for success don't go with Plunkett he's too reokless. Why, he even tried the other day at the fair to make a few honest voters that knew better, that George W. Julian—apostate Julian —renegade Jolian was a Republican. Too thin Jim. Too thin.

Democrats like to talk of raissionsand rant that the Republican party has completed its mission. We think not. The Republican party ia the party of progress and cnltnro. It is tbe party that fosters the pnb lie aohool and encourages the dissemination of knowledge, and until school houses are as numerous throughout tbe South and intelligence as widely diffused aa in tbe North, then and not. till then may the mission of the Republican party be said to be fulfilled.

The De oorata have caused a motion for a rehearing in the amendment case to be filed in the Supreme Court. Tbe motion will not be de. cided until after the October elec lion. If tbe Democrats succeed the motion will be overruled. If the Republicans win the rehearing will be grauted, but the case will not be decided until after the No vember election, when the Democrats will again vote for State officers and Congressmen. Tbe original decision will then be reversed and the Dernecratio officers voted for in November will be declared elected This is, without doubt, the pro' gramme of tbe Democratic leaders' Laga>< sport Journal.

i In 1868, tbe Democratic platforms declared that tie reconstruction acts, including of coarse the con. stitutional amendments, “were rev olutionary aad void,” and Hancock: who received, in the convention of that year, 144 votes as candidate for president, wrote a letter to Mr. Glover cordially endorsing the platform. This year tbe Democracy takes tbe* opposite ground on the constitutional amendments, and Gen. Hancock cordially endorses tbe platform. He is but clay in tbe hands of the potter. He is a man of putty in the hands of the party. He lets the party do his political thinking, and expeois to be its willing tool in its uncertain and peril* ous march toward* power, and its chief instrument of mischief should the country be compelled to endnre the calamity of its socoess.— LaPorte Herald - Chronicle.
