he assumed the Office. We venture the re-
mark that be is now rich. He will be
found like . late Democratic Superinten-
dent OF Public Instruction in Indiana, and

without dollar in the world and deeply
involved. He held the Office two years. al
salary Of 1250e, and with this salary paid
his debts like an honest man, and retired
into private life with $4,000 in his pocket.
He vas defeated the next race. but like DR..
Eads he raised the cry Of persecution, and
the Democracy At their late election placed
him again in the identic cal Office. Whether
DR.. Eads will be 90 successful in his cry.

believe be has the Rev. Mr.. Larrabee now

The Doctor endeavors to secure the 81 m.

Republicans. He knows his party and

bly, indignant At Gov. Crimes, on the same
ground that rogue Of any other class has a
right 10 be angry At the power which pros.
ecutes him, however little such passion
may help him-but we don't think that the
Doctor 10 UNSUITABLE in expending so much
wrath on the Republican party. Hear him;
"Ths Black Republican Aboliiionist, dis

Democrats that il they permit their cause
TO suffer from the falsehoods Of the enemy
] il will be their fault, not his. This is RICH,
cool even for December. He shifts the re-
sponsibility Of any injury the Democracy
may receive from his rascality upon their
shoulders. He thus makes the issue be-
tween the Democratic party and the people
NOT between Dr.. Eads and the swindled
people. Good for fhe Doctor. But here .

1t is astonishing how eager Democratic
leaders are 10 occupy these @posts of dan

in the settlement, of accounts. The Doc
tor asks his party to stand up to the record

He need not have said, he 10 not a candidate
