Indiana Messenger Critique Of Republican Party Ties
The Indiana Messenger faces criticism for urging party harmony after attempting to defeat a regular nominee. The Progress argues the paper overstepped regulations, manipulated opinions, and dragged a general election contest into heavy taxpayer costs. It invokes Lincoln’s counsel analogy to condemn opposition voices and defend loyal Republicans.
