CLERK OF SUPREME CoURr-At the coming
Democratic State Convention. tie name of Eth
Gilbert Hibhen, of Rush county, will be presented
for nomination as II ca%didate for the Office of
Clerk OF the Supreme Court. To say that Mr..
Hibben is we'll qualified Tor the position, is but to
intimate that which will be conceded by all who
are acquainted with him We think his nOmina
ton for that position should, and will be urged
by the united voice of the Fourth Congressional
District, not only because Mr. Hibben is and has
been one of the true and tried Democrats of this
district, but because through his elevation to that
position the friends Of one of Indianas most fear

Democratic principles (Hon. John l.. Robinson,)
can manifest toward the family of the dead their
appreciation Of his taents and his efforts to adj

-THE Next GovERxoR-We notice that Hon.

at the 9Th of January Convention. has perempto

the time. for this Office is the Hon. David Tur-
pie, of White County. He is without doubt, the
abiest field orator and most successful politician
in Indiana. When he was member of the Leg
islature, and when barely of age. he almost liter

their hides down. DoesJ W Gordon remember?

deaths by their seducers
The building is in very deIapidated condition,
but was purchased few days since by the Jeffer

probability their murderers have ere this passed
