Cassius NJ. Clay, we should add, is ''stump.
ing the State as the Emancipation candidate
for Governor; but we are confident that Ken

Wing State ticket, but return an increased
majority of Wings to the next Congress.
Indiana mas likewise TO choose ten members
Of Congress. The late delegation was compos-
ed of Democrats, Wing, (Mr. McGaugheyn
