EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The Republicans Pulaski county bad a mass oonvention at Winamao, last Saturday, to ohoose dele, gates, and with one nooord they hollered for Hanly for Governor, and instructed the delegates for him. Well, may the best man win, and bis name is J. Fr nk Hanly, sure and certain.

The Grover Cleveland presidential boom has expeiienoed resuscitation in the South sinoe the ex president took occasion indignantly to repel the infamous aoouaation that he entertained at the White House any citizen of the United States having Afrioau blood iu bis veins. When it comes to causing the Southern heart to slop over at the strategic moment, the sage of Priuoeton, though a bit rusty in the matter of [practicing political ooupe, is no slouoh.

We expeot to oarry twofeounties in Indiana this fall,” said C. E Newlin, chairman of the prohibition state oommittee Tuesday. "One is a republican and the other a democratic oounty.” J uat as Mr. Newlin was about to be asked to name the counties, he added: “1 am not going to say at this time whioh counties they are.” "Hope springs eternal in the human heart,” but never more eternally nor with less touuii reason back of it than in the hpnr's of the Prohibitionists, they get to figuring on their political prospect.

‘‘lt is not strange tha*.our young men, who are dissatisfied with former Democratic administrations are proud to marob under the banner of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley in support of Theodore Roosevelt, the soldier’s and statesman President, under whose brilliant leadership this Nation has become increasingly prosperous and enooessful.” There are the words es J. H. Falvey, of Wiuamao. long a prominent Democratic leader ot Pulaski county and formerly oounty auditor there.

The Marion News-Tribune says: “There is a change of sentiment among Indiana republioau congressmen on the question of who will win out in the raoe for the republican nomination for governor. Some while ago W. It. Taylor was generally considered in the lead, bat now J. Frank Hanly is picked by a majority of the congressman as a winner. The fact that Hanly "scooped up” Taylor in Rash oonnty, whioh is the home of Congressman Watson, is considered significant, Watson is for Taylor, but it is believed that he has concluded not to insist that his friends shall desert Hanly.”

They day will oome when the people will read with inoredalons amazement that any political party ore any considerable part of it o >uld have been so blinded by its own partisan prejudice as to op* pose the recognition of the Panama government or immediate fork on the isthmian canal. Bat this is no more than we are doing today when we read the reoord of the Democratic party, pausing anywhere in the history beginning a half oentnry age. Open yonr history anywhere and you find the same inoredible story, but unfortunately for the country, it is ail true.

Uric Acid and Hrawel “Are caused by the Kidneys being unable to properly filter the in purities from the blood. Irving’s Buoha Wafers are the only sure remedy for this oondition; they cleanse the kidneys from all worn out material, build cp the shrunken walls of tbe Kidneys andpresent the formation of the Urio Acid.

The reorganizers are getting a good many favorable press comments on their effort to save the party from those who have beeo voting the Democratic tioket in recent years, bnt up to date tbe Bryan-Hearst allianoe seems to be gathering in most of tbe delegatee to the St. Louis oonvention. It is a fortunate thing for the Cleveland wing of the Democratic party that it has made snob thorough arrangements for securing the Indiana dolegatioa

Hanna’s Opinion of Beveridge.

Senator Beveridge is considered a young man in the Senate. On bieentranoe upon his Senatorial duties at the age of thirty-six, the older Senators did not look with favor upon this innovation- Sinoe then, however, he has won the oonfidence of tbe Senate in a remarkable degree, and has been made a member of the Republican ‘ Steering Committee” by the older Senators, who have oome to plaoe high estimate on his judgment. He is now regarded as one of tbe most conservative men in the body and one of its hardest working members. One day in the cloak-room of the Senate Mr. Beveridge’s abilitv whs mentioned in the presence of Senator Hanna. ‘'Beveridge,” replied Hanoa, ‘‘why he does f.s much work as any three men in the Benate put together.”
