eve have as yet seen only two names mea-
toned in conneNion with the Office Of Attor-
ney General These are James Morrison,
the present incumbent and j. L. Mcdonald.
With the former we have no personal ac-
quaiutance, and With Mr. Mcdonald rather
limited. We are inclined to believe that
there are men in the Democratic party of bet
ter legal abilities than either OF them. By
saving this we mean no disparagement We
shall now present name, that, 10 our kuowi-
edge, has not been spoken Of and that ons
is Cyrus L. Dunham of jackson County.
We DO not know that Mr.. Dunhsm is ga
aspirant, and his name is now presented by
Us without his knowledge or any understand
ing from him as to so doing. Mr.. Dunham
is self-made man; one who has made him
self what he ia, man of the frst order of
talents. and as jurist and an advocate stands
equal with any man IN Southern Indiana
For six years he was member ef Congress,
yet by assidulty and industry lac kept himself
posted In the law, and having retpli.ei 10 its
practice again is doing an extensive business

ciples on any occasion; and one who, il cleo

lawyers In the State. We throw out these

GrThe County Agencies, established by
the Temperance" Law of this State for the
sale of Liquor, seem to nave been doing a
nourishing business. The Palladium, the of
fetal organ of the Liquor Agency in this
city, states that the number of sales from the
25th of Sept. TO the Sd of Dec, little over
two months, were 1913; of these S2I were
for medicinal purposes, 10 for chemical, 2O5
for mechanical, 8 for sacramental. Whisky
was the principal liquor sold, the sales of this
article amounting to 127 gallons. The sales
for medical purposes look rather 1nfavorable
to the health of this region, though it is un-
derstood TO have been very healthy during
the above named period.-Rtchnlond Jefer-
sOnidn.
Under the recent decision of the Supreme
Court these agencies" will be broken up,
and we apprchend few regrets will be enter
tanned OF expressed by the mass of the peo-
pie thereat. In many parts of the State, the
Agencies have been little better than the
worst species OF grog shops, in which every
taxpayer was, whether willing or not part
ner. But little else than the meanest kind
of whisky has been sold, and nearly all oI
course for medicinal purposes" Ii they
have not been nurseries OF drunkenness, they
have been the nurseries of the worst kind o
lying and duplicity. To obtain liquor itwa:
only necessary to allege some slight pain ii
the abdominal region, or fit of the "aSy,
or a snake bite, and the liquor, in any quan
tty from pint to keg. was forthcoming =
Those who want to engage in the liquor bust
ness hereafter will have to employ their owl
capital instead of that of the taxpayers o
the respective counties.

Hurley's Sarsaparilla.

The st. Louis Pilot says "The greatest
remedy for Consumption, Asthma, Scrofula,
Coughs, Colds, and all affections of tho respi-
ratory organs, is Hurley's Sarsaparilla. Try
one bottle and you will derive more benefit
from it than all the Pectorals or expectorants
before the public. Remember this"
This medicine is now considered the great
Panacea Of the day-the wonderful, we
might say almost unparalleled cures affected
by its agency leaves no doubt as to its valua-
BILE medical properties. 1t is perfectly harm.
less in its composition, and may be given tC
the most enfeebled constitution with impu
nifty. 1t is, therefore, well calculated, as
family medicine, to relieve the sufferings o
children, whilst it may be given to the debili
tated and aged with decided advantage

Still Uuorganized.

We are compelled to put our paper tc
press this last day of another week without
being able to announce the election OF
Speaker by the House of Representatives
The people are becoming impatient at this
prOcrastination and will demand to know
why it is that the country is thus kept in
suspense week after week. The Black Re
publcans and the so-called National Know
Nothings are incuuing fearful responsibility
by thus sporting with the rights and interests
Of those whom they affect to represent.
From the former we have no right to expect
anything but the engendering of angry feel
ings and the stirring up of fierce strife. Elect
ell because Of their avowed hatred of one
half of the Union, they are only true to
themselves by seeking to put at the head of
the House man who embodies in his lerscn
theI own worst passions.
But there are others there who profess to
abhor the principles aud the designs Of this
Union hating faction. They profess to be
governed by principle in opposing and resist
ing their designs They are composed prin
cipally of Southern Know n othings, with
few northern allies who profess to stand on
their platform These number some forty
members. The Democratic strength is about
seventy -six--(as glorious a band of patriots,
by the way, as the country has witnessed
since the days of '76) United, these mem
bers can elect Speaker. But can it be sup
posed that the seyenty-six will 20 over to
the forty? 4? Could any reasonable man ask
such concession as this? 1t is preposterons.
The forty Know Nothings who refuse their
support to Banks can plainly see that the
Democratic is the only national party in the
House. They must see as the country sees,
that if the encrcachments of AbOlitiOnism
upon the rights of the South are successfully
resisted, they must be resisted mainly ly
Democratic votes and influence 1t is evil
IDENTIFY their duty, then, if they are sincere
in their professions, to unite with the Demo-
Gratis and elect Mr. Richardson. His qualifi-
cations for the place are unquestioned. His
election would do more to silence agitation
than the election of any other man in the
House. Let these Americans who profess
to be national men show their faith by their
works

From the Rockport Democrat !
Gov. A. P. Willard.

We are glad 10 SEQ so much tpaas,ipa.ty
manifested by the press of Indiana In favor
of this gentleman for Governor In l650.-No
other gentleman in Indiana could carry the
Democratic masses like Willard can, hence
our anxiety TO see him nominated. We COM
mend to our readers the following eompli-
ment To Gov w, from the New Albany
Ledger:
ave are glad to notice that many OF our
Democratic exchanges have signifed pref
erence for Lieut.. Gov Willard ss the eandi-
date of the Democratic party for Governor of
Indiana in 1856. We but speak the voice of
the Democracy of Floyd county, when wc
say that we desire that his namo may be
placed at the head of the ticket next year,
ior the first office within the gift of the voters
of Indiana We desire To see il, because
there is none more able than him 10 cope
with the iusiduous foe that we will be called
upon to battle against IN that canvass. We
desire it, because he is an able and faithful
champion of the great cause OF Democracy
