Somewhat Sarcastic.

Monticello Herald: t The Delphi Times is claiming monument was built by democrats, and the White County Democrat has discovered that it was the democratic party that put down the rebellion. All that is lacking to complete the happy picture is to show the 'republicans firing' oil Fort Sumpter, Oliver P. Morton attempting to turn Indiana over to the confederacy and Dan Voor-, hees nipping the conspiracy in the bud. A good frontispiece for the new democratic history would be a picture of Yallandingham and Vorhe.es in front of a recruiting office encouraging the boys to enlist in the Union army. The new history should also include that resolution in the democratic national platform of 1864 endorsing Abraham Lincoln for re-election and pledging him the loyal support of the democratic party in the further prosecution of the war. The school boys may have trouble finding this resolution but we advice them to look it up.
