J. L. Forkner, of Anderson, is an.
nounced a a candidate for the dein -cratic
uonination for state treasurer.
This strikes us as the greatest, instance
of unadulterated nerve we have ye'
heard of, but any body, who has ever
known of Jack Forkner's "make up" as
uianiftsteu from the time he was a
"clod hopper'- in the vicinity of the little
villages of Millville and Ashland in
Henry county, are not at all surprised
to learn of him on all sides of all ques
tious, asking favors of foes as weil as
friends. Jack Fork Mr was a right hand
man to Kx-Congressman liynum who
chased out of the democratic party in
pursuit of a "golden calf.-' Jack follow
ed Pynuui in the chase. Well, Bynam
has ift the state and no doubt found a
genet ooa recompense for his "will-o-the
Vtep experience. But poor Forkner
and the other subs are still only
"Hoosiers" and as they some time since
discovered that the "golden call" was
only a "yellow dog" so far as auy practi
cal benefits to them as politicians might
accrue, Jack for one concluded to tie a
tin can to his "canine" species and let
it wander. Now he is rid ot the "yellow
dog," but the true democrats will prefer
that he stick to the company with
whom he elected to associate during
the lust campaign, if he is after politi
cal emoluments.
liut Forkner has nerve, and he is
back asking for persimmons because
the fruit on the shrubs from the Ly
mun vineyard got caught in the frost
aud failed to materialize. He thinks
that he is entitled to be a candidate for
tate treasurer.
Think of it: He may feel thankful if
he can find a man in Indiana, who is
willing to make himself so ridiculous
before a Democratic convention as to
dare to propose the name of this Madi
son county aspirant, who tied his kite
to the gray nairs of a Palmer -liuck
ner combination and indirectly con
tributed his mite to accomplish the de
feat of Mr. liryan.
Notwithstanding all this talk aoout
relegating Santa Claus to the rear, de
nouncing him as a myth and a relic of
dark and superstitious ages, the good
old man will probably be found this
year, as usual dointr business at the
same old stand. This is, somehow, one

It has become apparent that the light

Leading republican representatives

to be counted as publicly hostile to the
