My Dear Sir: The Election in Allen County
vas on the 9Th inst, Dr.. L. G. Thompson was
the WING, nd Mr.. Nelson, an Ex-Edtor, the
Loeo-Foco candidate The result is tina, all the
townships have been heard from but two, and DR..
Thompson is 166 votes ahead Of his opponent
The remaining part Of the County canno, change
the resslt either way 20 votes. This is great
triumph, for it was distinctly understood by both
parties there that it to be a test vote. Both
did their best. The most desperate exertons were
made by the Locos TO defeat the Wing candidate,
bat all to no avail Allen County, as wrote you
shown it handsomely just now. The Loco-Foco
majority there in August was go, which makes a
Wing gain now, as compared with then, OF 24S
votes in one County You see what heavy
serve the Wings of Indiana have besides the tie
vote given at the August election. IT, with dis
sension running riot through their ranks and gen.
era ethargy and laxity pervading the whole Wing
army, they can tie their opponents. well drilled,
united, and disciplined hey are, what think
you they will do when next year they have full
ticket ia fight for, and full Wing vote is drawn
out In August lost one Representative in
in Marion by 90, in each Of which, if one-tenh
of the stay-at-home Wings had voted they would
have secured the election Thus 40 votes polled
ia 3 Countess where 3 or 400 Wings neglected
the first duty Of patriotism, would have In
sured the Wings of Indiana 10 majority on joint
ballot
The result OF the election in Allen gives the
Wings two majority Ga ioint-ballo, and | think
settles the election of United States Senator, if
the Wings do rot choose te be cheated out of it.
The co-Focos, however, claim two majority OF
Howard men. Time alone will show which party
obtains the Senator. In Steuben and Dekalb you
are aware contest is pending. The election
suited in tie vote. The Sheriffs, according to
our statute, met and cast lots which candidate
should have the commission. The Wing, MIR.
Beall, was successful. DR.. Marsh, his opponent,
Contests because one vote cast for him was reject
ed His opponent replies that the vote rejected
was ballot cut into four pieces, and the statute
expressly states that any ballot composed of more
than piece Of paper shall be rejected and treat
ed as aullity. But to render the matter certain,
Mr.. Beal has taken testimony and proved six lille
gal votes have been given his LoceF opponent.
a this condition the matter will go before the
House, which you know, is Loco-Foco by 10
majority. / entertain no doubt at all that Mr..
Beals title to his seat will be confirmed.
There is also, as you correctly state in your
Wing Almanac, disputed seat in the Senate in
the Pozey and Vandenburgh District. As far as
have been able ascertain, the facts liz this case
are as follows: The District at the Apportion-
ment of 4O-4I was formed out of part of what
had previously been two Districts. In one of them
one Of the Senators had year remaining TO serve;
in the other the term Of the Ex-senator had ex

put no difficulty in the way of the new Senator,
who was to be elected taking his seat for the full
term. Mr. Pitcher was consequently elected, and
was considered BY all as the Senator for three years
Last summer, however, some Loco-Focos thought
thew had found mares nest there, and, pretend
ING that they believed Mr.. Pitchers lerm of office
had expired, put up Mr.. Casey. which nomina-
ton being looked upon us perfect humbug by all
the Wings and large number of the Loces, he
received about 800 votes in the two Counties, and
tbercupon claims his seat; which modest request,
YOU can readily imagine, is In no danger OF being
complied with.
MIR. Tevs of Shelby, claimed as Wing, is also
correctly set down by you as claimed by both par
ties He was elected in opposition to The regular
Loco COCO nomination, and was classed imTedl-
ately by the State Sentinel as : q Howard Wing
MIR. Hackeman, the intelligent Editor OF the
Rusbvile Wing, declares that MIR. T. will not vote
for Gen. Howard, but will so for the Wing candi-
date for Senator, and this opinion comedies with
the general one of his constituents.
Mr.. Carter of Cass is Leco-Foco Cass Is
streng Wing County, and ne pledged himself
voluntarily on the stumpto vote for the mig can
dida,e for Senator if instructed so TO do by ma
ority Of his constituents. Instructions TO that effect
were sometime since circulated through his Conn-
~ for signatures, and understood that more than
minority had signed them. IT, however, they
have not vet, they will, without doubt, before the
meeting of the Legislature. Mr.. Carter IS an hon
orable man, much esteemed, and will stick to his
pledge.
