Being in the Office of the Indiana State Sentinel on
Saturday last, my particular friend and opponent for
auditor, John W. Hamilton made his appearance and
procured considerable number of the full Democrat
&c county tickets for this county, which had just been
printed. i Immediately put my puzzling cap, in

these tickets. The first to afford himself and friends
facility swap off both the wing candidates
for Representative for Democratic votes for Auditor
and the other give him opportunity scratch off

and, by this MEANS securing his election The whole
procedure goes to show that my competitor despairs
