The Wings are distinguished by this mark I.
The Wing majority i about the same "a that Of
last year. though there is a great falling OF from
their majority of 1910. At the August election of
that year the Wing majority FIR Governor was 3N:',
and for President in November following it amounted
TO 3J7. 1t is now cut down to lC2, although they
made eycry cxcrtion, far and foul, to obtain votes.
We have no doub, that If tie Wings had practi>cd
NJ rascality, they would have been beaten. But in
addition to the ero>scst ~fllSehoods in relation to tie
Texas question, &c. there IS no doubt that they pro-
cured the introduction Of a sufficient number Of He
gal votes TO overcome the honest democratic majority.
They knew. if they were beaten here. that Their
chances Of obt1ining Offices. should Clay be elected,
would be entirely debarred, because it Will be his mn
Ierative rule that ITO the victors only VIII belong the
sPol," even in his own party. Prosecutions have al
ready been instituted by democrats against some Of
the piPelayers, and we presume VIII be followed uP,
rs the names Of residents Of Hendricks and Johnson
equities, who voted in Marion. are known. If tie
penalty Of outraged aw be inflicted with energy
against these persons, we shall probably be able 10
carry the county at the Presidential Election, notwitl-
standing our present defeat.

375. though the Wings run an indcpcnleat democra;
in the hope Of defeating the regular democratic nomi-

cred safe for the democrats. has elected the Wing re-

TERRE HAUTE, Aug. ,. 1914.
DEAR CHAPNANs The returns are not all in. but
enough l. known 10 render certain the election of
Garrett and Hedges. Itdegenaepf. over the regular
Wing nominees. Had there been n third ~Indcpend-
emf. he would probably have succeeded.
By reference To the two las; numbers Of the Wabash
Courier. the regular Wing organ. YOU Will perceive
tl4at Garrett and Hodges are denounced as LocofbcoS
IN disguise. and that Their only object was Il di>or-
game and defeat the Wing party. 1t was said by
Judge Conard. the great man Of the Wing party, that
they were brought out by the Democrats. and that no
true Wigs would vote for them.
Ii Is true they were supported by the Democrats.
unanimously. and the result i a glorious victory.
Our Treasurer is also elected.
Glory enough for one dav. in Old Nigo, We shall
now organize. and go into the November contest with
a spirit and an energy that VIII make the old guard
quail in the very citadel Of Whiggerv.
There arc hundreds Of changes in this county in
favor Of Polk and Dallas. The Wig party Of Vigo
II virtually di>bandel: the leaders have the knife To-
each other tlroatS: and the honest voters are leaving
them in disgust. The Wing party went into TIN,
contest with a perfect organization: their convention
was regularly gotten ". there was a full attendance
and a fir nominations; every thing that CLAY Clubs
and Glee Clubs could d.. was done: tie Watash
Courier poured forth its anathemas upon the heads Of
the independent Candidates: its ed tor. STYLED the
Political Zebra Of his party. took tie stump in
person. but all 10 no purpose. The flag that ioated
20 gaily from the ash pole this morning. was made TO
trail in TIE dust this evening: tie true hearted Demo-
Gratis. united with those independent Whirs who have
a mind of their own. and are capable Of doing their
own voting ard Their OWN fighting. and achieved a
victory which. If not all that we could wish. i more
than we could reasonably have expected in this
county. Yours. truly. IN haste. PUBLICOLA.
So far as we are able to Judge by the returns receiv-
ed, we conceive our prospects for earring the State to
be very fattering- The Wings have fought despe-
ntely-have brought out their full strength-have ac-
compiished an amaigamation generally with the abo-
~ltionists, and laid a. much PIPE as they possibly
could. Under such circumstances /, Is not surprising
