THE PoLTIcAL PROSPECTS INDIANA. Our information
from various portions of the State gives the most ater
ing of decided democratic triumph in the COM
ing fall elections The opposition are everywhere aston
shed the spirit of concession and concation which
vades the democratic ranks County representative sena
toal and congressional conventions of the democracy as
6embe nominate their canidates, adopt their patorns
and without breach division, firmly unite against the
common enemy The Kansas issue is dead and buried
The embodiment of anti Lecomptonism, Judge Doug
las pronounces it no longer ISSUE and is willing to
abide by the verdict of the people of Kansas they shall
decide under the compromise bill upon the first Monday
In August To this arbitration not only the entire party
but the country must submit
... '.ra q .....r o .... y o
From this out predict that the race between Le-
compton and anti Lecompon democrats will be as to who
accomplish the most for the of the regular
democratic nominees Whatever illeeling may have
existed has been surrendered by the minority magnani
monsly yielding to the expressed wishes of the majority
in the nominations which have been made Mr. Secrest
and Judge Holman will have jealous support
than that which will be given them by those who have
same generous spirit will be manifested toward Judge
Hughes by those who may have differed with him upon
that settled question. And SO all over the State
In this county the democratic nominees Will not
be supported Lecompton anti ecompton democrats
but democrats If any anti Lecompton democrats
they will have support from the republicans
than their democratic brethren. There important
questions which may depend upon the State elections Of
the next fall The members of Congress to be then elect
ed may be called upon to choose the next President in
case of failure to elect by the popular VOTE which is
not unlikely to be the What democrat, in view of
the importance of the coming election, if he desires the
supremacy of democratic policy, will not yield his preju
dices or convictions upon past issue to harmonic the
party and elect its candidates? Democrats cannot
pect any support from the opposition unless for the
purpose of dstactng the party and only to that extent
Democrats only expect support from democrats A
interest binds them together. This fact will
fuse the democracy of the State into union which will
make them invncble - -
