MudsllngIng.

The- Hem Thomas R. Marshall announces early In the campaign that ao far as he ie concerned and that so far as his Influence goes there will be no mudellngtng In the Indiana campaign this time. It goes without saying that the Republioans will be glad to meet the Democrats even more than half way in this kind of campaign. The wisdom of Republican policies may well be compared to anything that has been offered by the opposition and the decision as to the matter left to the Intelligence of the voters. Republicans feel that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain from such a comparison. And even if the Democratic candidate for governor should fail to influence the managers of his party in the way that he hopes to do, he may depend upon it that the Republicans in any event will confine their campaign to the discussion of principles rather than persons, though on the whole they have no reason to object to a comparison of candidates. —Marion Chronicle.
