GEN. MANSON’S UNFORTUNATE VICE.

Probably there is not a kindlier nor a braver heart begtingin the great state of Indiatm, than Hint which throbs in the brenst of General Mahlon I). Mattson. aJIls is a great, warm, sympathetic nnture, that diffuses beams and rays of philanthropy as the sun sends out light and heat to bathe the planets and bodies of the universe. His gallant services as a soldier* on the tropical fields of arid Mexico, and subsequently when directing the movements of troops to conquer u ►rebellion that was instigated and sustained by the leaders of the democratic party, must over be held in grateful remembrance by every lover of tho honor aud free institutions of our glorious republic. No umu of honor, no man of gratitude, no man of patriotism, no man of principle, no soldier of the republic who is couversant with the military record of Gen- Manson, ami no person having knowledge of his social qualities and humnnltat inn ism can have other than the highest admiration for the man who possesses (hem to such an eminent degree. Gen. Manson la now a candidate for one of the most important state offices of Indiatm. He asks to be elected auditor of state. Thia.ia an office in the duties of which center important interest iurgely affecting quite two millions of people. The duties require a firm integrity, a cool bead, a elfcar braiu. No man not in possession of these ought to be giveu a position of such grave responsibility In the selection of persona to transact public business at least as much care should be taken by the electors to secure uicu of integiity and correct

habila as tliQy would take if they were about to employ ngente to overlook and conduct tiieir private individual aflaira. No client possessing good practical sense Will deliberately employ a dissipatod attorney to conduct an important cause, perhaps involving Ills entire estate, simply because they hold to friendly political views, when lie may retuin a lawyer of equal ability whose habits of living are correct. If n farmer would engage a man to plant his fields and gather his harvests niltf carb for hi* flocks and Herds, looking to his best interests, he would not for choice, other qualifications being equal, prefer a man that was addicted to indulgence in strong drink over his more temperate neighbor. If a raerclfapt finds it necessary for ' the promotion of hia business to secure tlie services of a m learn an or agent, he will not, exercising ordinary prop dence, deliberately hazard tbosointerests in the keeping of one whose vicious appetite is a despotic and capricious master. If a banker finds it necessary to engage an acoouutant, prudence of ordinary development at once suggests the dangers which may follow the employment of a raau whose nerves are unsteady, whose brain is iuflamed, whose vigor is impaired and whose memory is endangered by long-continued and excessive potations. If it is found necessary in our private business where comparatively few are interested to carefully, guard aguinst the accidents and inctvpacity that follow in tlie wake of the kHefirpcYate man, as sharks are said to follow a foundering bark at sea, does"w not become vastly more important for those who wield the ballot to strive to guard the public interests, where millions of people are interested, equally well? Now here is a case that is directly iu point. Head carefully what ia published, for the statements which follow w’ill be backed, if they are denied and it is demanded, by all the evideuce necessary to sustain them:

For many years Gen. Mahlon D* Malison, of Montgomery county, the democratic nominee for auditor of state, has been addicted to the use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage. This is substantially the charge that was made agaiust him before his the Kokomo Dispatch and other newspapers of the democratic faith.. So tic of these papers have since denied that their statement is true. They abuse republican papers, tfebe sure, for republishing their own statements, and denounce republican editors as being characteristically unfair, and much more in the same strain ; but neither the Kokomo Pis patch , the ora w fords ville Rcviav (Gen. Alan son’s home organ), nor any other democratic newspaper having knowledge of the facts has denied Gen. Manson’s besetting weakness. Only a few weeks ago—since both parties nominated their state tickets—a prominent democrat, a member of the state democratic organization, who has been intimately acquainted with Gen. Manson for more than a quarter of a century, who is a personal as well as a political friend of the gallant old hero, in a conversation with gentlemen on the streets in the town of Rensselaer, admitted the truthfulness of the charge which had been made by the democratic press. He said that he was personally cognizant of the fact, that on numerous occasions he had seen Gen, Manson uuder the influence of liquor, and that it would be a foolish falsehood to deny it; but he hoped that Gen. Manson was not drib ft iii g noW to such ex cess a 3 be 'Had'done formerlyr to give his exact words, but the sul>* stance of a part of a conversation that he introduced with an assault upon a republican representative in congress from this state, by an accusation of the same import which lias been completely refuted. It would be foreign to this branch of the discussion of a candidate’s character to enlarge upon Gen. Mnnsou’s record as a member of congress, and for the present dismiss it with the remark that he was of the number of salary-grabbers whom democratic newspapere and democratic orators of high and low degree throughout the length and breadth of the hind have denounced as thieves and robbers.

Let every houest man and every prudent man divest his mind of rancorous partisan feeling as nearly as it is possible for hitn, and look the subject squarely in the face as a practical business man would do. The chargo of dissipation made against Gpn- Manson is not a campaign slander, but is a meluncholly truth, if the witnesses are trustworthy. It was brought against him by members of his own party before he was nominated, *lO prevent his nomination, because they knew his indulgence would unfit him for the office should he be elected to it, and because they dreaded to carry the weight of a dis-sipated-man before the people of Indiana Gen. Manson’s personal friends who are also. his political friends add their reluotftnt and regretful adpiissions of the fact to that testimony. STot one of the witnesses has yet discovered that his original statement was false; not one has denied or modified it. Gen. Manson by his uUcttoe virtually pleads guilty to it.

THE OPPOSITION CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.

The name of the gieenback and democratic candidate for congress from tiie 10th district of Indiana is John H. Winterbotliorn. He lives In Michigan City, and ho will be nominated at Valparaiso on the 7th day of August, 1878. The flats will tender their norn in at ion to Morgan 11. Weir, of La Porte, Rt YVaimtah, August Ist. But Mr. Weir will not accept the nomination to make the rape in good faith without lie can receive the endorsement of (lie main hody of tiie democracy of the district. This lie will never have while those wiio are Interested in national banking control democratic conventions and lie promulgates doctrines hostile’ to their interests. Despite the clutnor of a few demagogues in the counties of our district that lie south of Abe Kankakee river, there Is really only n very small

element that can be said to be afflicted with Wolcott’s disease of tlie bruin. Jasper county probably contains half there are in tlie district of those who really have stamina to vote for a candidate that was nominated In opposition to Mr. Calkins who did not have the democratic endorsement; and we do not believe they exceed two and a half scoi’e. In oilier words we do not believe there are fifty men in Jasper county that will vote for Mr. Weir as a candidate of a coalition of tlie nationals and democrats who will not vote for Mr. Winterbotham if he is nominated by the democratic party. Whatever may be thought of the admission among politicians, or whatever may be suspected as tlie motive which prompts it, The Union believes that it is too well acquainted with tlie character of the minds which guide tlie destiny of the democracy of this district to think thanTiuy wni"

submit to be controlled by the adventureis who meet at Wanatah next Thursday. So far as representative ability is concerned there is this difference: Mr. Weir is the most fluent speaker, but Mr. Winterbotham is the most wily politician; Weir talks and theorizes, but Winterbotham plans and works. In a political campaign or legislative body one Winterbotham is wortli half a dozen Weirs; before a mixed public gathering one Weir is worth ten Winterbothams. .As the democratic party have so little in their record that they care to talk about, and nothing in their platform to discuss, Mr. Weir's talent is not likely to elicit special admiration; but they have use for WitHerbotham ’ s efficient work with tho thrifty'. MrWinterbotliam is tlie stronger mau of tliG two, and if the democracy harken to wise counsel they will make him their candidate for congress, despite his hard money proclivities and his social waywardness. He is the favorite with tlie managers, and the fiats will learn that something more substantial titan a spectral theory or cheap tongue clatter is required to conduct a politiean campaign among practical men.

INDIANA A REPUBLICAN STATE.

On n fair election and full vote Imliana is today a reliable republican stale. The democrats, enrrieit it for Cass in ItUS by only 4.SSS plurality; for Tierce in 1852 bv only ?,ai"u plurality, ami for Uiiclianan in IH3H bv only I.tKW majority. TUtt republicans curried it for Lincoln in iJStiO by i,9ja iimjorlty; for Lincoln again in 18<M by 2u,l8!l; for Grunt in ISGS bv unit for Grant again hi 1872 by 21,088. In 1870, there being three candidates m i lie tfeiil, the democrats succeeded by most infamous and outrageous fraud in carrying, the state for Tiiilen by a plurality of 5,51.). of the total votecast in the state Hayes received forty-eight percent., Tildeli forty-nine per cent., and Teter Cooper three per cent. So Tilden was the minority Chojce of the state. There is no doubt that iu a fair and hilt election luiliana is more dec)dolly republican now than she was democratic during Ifie TasraozelTfSSis'of^dTSfifiSCTiracii*e*h<tbli«y' the Wbc." Thu smriirfs'wsite-'-wtvßttiatttl jil-ogress educationally, politically, commercially and socially, and progress in these respects menus a decline of democracy and growth of republicanism. Tile work of the republican party in this state has been somewhat of a missionary character. It has bail to let light 'into tile dark places of democracy, substitute intelligence for ignorauce, loyalty for treason, enterprise and progress for Itourbonisiu. It lias been a hard coutest, but tbev have won at every step and have held their ground. To-day the stato is reliably republican if republicans will but do their duty, it will be tlieir own fault if it is permitted to fall back into the slough of democracy.— /iidfunujwlit Journal. Let republicans of each county of Indiana consider these facts and make a local application of them- As is shown by the JourruU Mr. Tilden succeeded in carrying Indiana by a plurality of only 5,015; there are 92 counties, and the plurality vote averaged nmong them is only about 00 to each; there is, say, 10 townships in each county, which would tnako the average in each township s. h’ow, if republicans will be active everywhere as they should be, four out of that number may bo converted to republican principles. If this is done —if each township in the state makes a gain of four votes from, tho demo” cratlc ranks —the state of Indiana will elect a full republican ticket. Jasper county republicans, if energetic, will certainly perform their share of ther work. - BaM Ben Butler once: TltcVlmvc called me »• ITsr. null they have celled me it thief, mid they have culled me » murderer, but I believe that *no one has ever yet called me a tool. —Terre Haute ~ . Froth this it seems Mr. Butler has felt tl,iat lie was not appreciated according to his deserts; and his recent speeches indicate a determination to impress upon his countrymen an estimate of himself which none liad been so discourteous as to express in words. For ourself, since reading his communistic speeches, wo feel the force of life rebuke.

NUMBER 46.

Judge David C- Casey died in Do-’ troit, Michigan, July 13th, aged 37' years. 110 lived in Jasper county r in tile years of liis earlier manhood*At tiie breaking out of tiie rebellion* he volunteered as a prtVate sofdier on* the side of the union, participated iu< several of the severest and was a brave and faithful soldier until tiie rebels submitted to just authority. After being mustered out of service lie Went tp Arkansas and engaged iu the profession of law, in connection with which he was for sometime the editor and publisher of a newspaper at Arkadelphia- In Affc**adelphia county lie was made probate* judge, and was elected to represent the district iu the state but was not permitted to-take hisseat. From thence he moved to Hot Springs where for a few mouths hewas tlio postmaster. Judge Casey became identified with tiie educational Interests of the localities where lie resided and rendered efficient service to that cause. His tastes were literary, and as an editor, letter writer and newspaper correspondent he appeared to fine advantage. He was an ardent repubiican r anti an earnest, thoujgh sometimes* nervous, worker. He was a member of the Prespyterian church. As it * friend lie was ardent, stanch, devoted.. Half a dozen ravenous grasshoppers on a brier bush in a forty -acrer pasture will make more noise than a hundred fat cattle resting in the shadow of towering caks. so half a dozen clattering fiat office-hunting demagogues will make more din in a small community than two or three hundred honest, clear-headed thinkers. But when the cattle begin tn move, anfl the thinkers liegin to act, let tiie grasshoppers and demagogues get out of the way if they would notbe trampled under foot.
