Of tho metiDhty Of our candidatcAt
While Ia many other parts Of the
State our Congressional candidates
have lost ground, ~ this District, with
all the elements we had TO contend
with, the Democratic majority has been
reduced fully seven hundred votes,
which IL a better showing than almost
any other District ia tho State. 1--WE
had every confidence that we would
have reduced NiBLAoK's majority
fully Quo thousand votes, but ia this
estimate we expected a little better
report from Vanderburgh, Pike and
Martin. But as it is, DEBRuLER has
accomplished what probably no othar
man in our party could have done,
and we can assure him that the Re
publieaps Of the First District will re-
member him. g ap 'o'h~ go
The vote of this District is one of
tho largest in the State, and our terri
tory and population il too great for !
one member Of Congress, under the
appertionment, and the matter should
be adjusted. The Legislature elect,
we understand, win be called upon to
re district the State, not'only for Leg
