PERSONAL VS.. PARTY NOMINATIONS FOR
THE PREsIDENCY.-Of the candidates in the
field for the next Presidency, only two rep
resent living party organizations. Mr.. Doug
las stands at the head of n ragged and bro
ken column: Mr.. Bell was nominated by a
convention Of fossil Wings and broken down
Know-Nothing politicians; Sam Houston's
army is of the Fallstaffian order, and so on
through the list, up to Breckenridge and
Lincoln, both of whom are backed by pow
erful party organizations, and have a GER
tain amount of definite support. That Lin
coin will carry the bulk of the electoral
vote North is beyond peradventure. That
Breckenridge will be equally strong in the
South admits of no reasonable doubt. The
other candidates are all personal represen-
tatives Of cliques, and have no strength be-
yond the support of their immediate friends.

EDIToRs JOURNAL:-l see 10y your paper
of yesterday that the census marshal reports
the population of Evansville at Il, 329. This
does not include the town below the creek
and which is a part Of the City, though not
in the corporate limits If this were added
our population would be about 800. This
is two thousand less than was generally sup
posed, but is probably not far from being
correct. The enumeration made by Mr..
Burke three years ago, | always thought too
large. But whether we have twelve thous-
and or fifteen thousand population, it is Of
very little moment. We can rely too con-
fdently on our future to feel sensitive in re-
gard to our present size.
No town in the State can show larger
increase in the last ten years, whether in
population, or in commerce, manufactures,
and general improvement. In fact though
not the most pOpulous, we are probably the
first town in the State in n business point
of view. While we may feel a little dis
appointed in the number of our people, we
surely have no cause for modification. In
all respects we can show as well as the
best, as will be seen when the census re-
turns are all in. Therefore we can afford to
be content especially as we have never
blown our brains out in claiming more than
results will justify.
That some towns should feel chagrin at
the SMALL figure they cut as compared with
their noisy pretensions is not surprising
a frog that claims TO be an OK will not
long deceive even himself Let all aInbi-
tious towns note the fact.
Indianapolis which, with the exception
of Evansville, is perhaps the most thriving
town in Indiana, and estimated to contain
$4,000, comes down to 20, 900 under the in
exorable law of figures. VincenUes claim
ing from six to eight thousand, foots up a
little over four thousand. And SO will it
run in other places.
The true way TO judge of our prosperity
IS to compare our growth with other popu-
lous towns. Let US compare our progress
the last ten years with the places above
named

An Indian Adventure.

The Holmes County Farmer publishes
a singular scrap Of history. We condense
Holmes county in 1916 was the hunting
ground of Indians of whom "Seneca,' the
chief of tribe of that name, was ONE
Mr.. Jacob Ammoud, now living in Coshoc-
ton county, then lived about a mile from
where Millersburg now is, and near the
Mile Pond. Seneca became inimical to
Almond, but pretended friendship; yet
Mr.. Almonds knowledge of the Indian
character enabled him to detect this hostil-
ity. Seneca told Ammond that there was
bear near Mile Pond, and wanted him to
90 to help kill it. Almond consulted his
wife, and she begged him not to go; but
A. thinking he ran less risk by going with
the Indian than to take the chances of be-
ing killed when not on his guard, accompa-
MED Seneca, each taking gun. The pond
being narrow, Seneca took one side and
Almond the other. Almond kept his
eye on Seneca, and saw him get behind a
tree, and Almond also got tree between
him and the Indian, leaving bis clothing
exposed. Seneca aimed but his gun snapp-
ed and while fixing the priming he ex-
posed his head, at which Almond took
deadly aim and put hi. bullet through it.
Then crossing over, A. stripped some elm
bark, and with it tied heavy stone to the
Indians body, and sunk it in the pond
The disappearance of Seneca was an unrav-
eled mystery for forty years, when Mr.. Am
moad lately divulged tho bloody secret to
