An Unexampled Outrage.

Where and when was active and open rebellion against a government not considered a bar to political advancement under that government and a damning crime? Where and when was the prince of leaders of a conquered revolution, a suppressed rebellion, dubbed an able statesman, a loyal, patriotic citizen by those highest in authority in the government ? Has it not rather been the rule that the s 'ns of the father in this respect tainted the children at least of the first and second generation? Yet under a Democratic administration the loyal people of the nation are daily outraged by the appointment to the most honorable positions in the gift of the Government of the rankest and most unrepentant traitors the Government has ever known. It is unexampled. —Kokomo Tribune.
