for the nomina ton of county officers
on the 18th of July, at Grandvieg
We hope to see a full convention
and we have no doubt but that a good
ticket will be made. It is especially
important that the Republicans of
the First District select their very
best and strongest men as candidates
for the Legislature. This is being
done in other parts Of the State; the
Republicans of Monroe and Law
renee, for instance, selecting Judge
HUGHES for the Senate, and those Of
Putnam nominating Hon. JOHN
HANNA for the House, and other
prominent men being selected else
where. Let the Republicans of Spen-
Ger put forward their best man for
the Legislature.
Governor BAKER delivers the ad-
dress at the soldiers celebration at
Noblesville on the 4th of July, will
speak at the convention of the Sec
ond District at Orleans on the 10th,
and at Petersburgh August 1st. Thus
far the Governor has been very active
in the canvass, doing a good work in
stirring the party up for a thorough
organization, aud inspiring them with
confidence and enthusiasm.
The Democracy are seeking to make
capital out of the fact that Elk Gov
ernor PARIS G. DUNNING, of Bloom
ington, has declined the nomination
of the Republicans for Representa-
tive from Monroe County. The fact
is that Governor DUNNING is contem-
plating change of residence to Ev-
ansville, which has caused him to de-
cline the race He, with his family,
are now in this city, and we hope he
will make such business arrange
ments as will ensure him to US as a
citizen. There is no more decided
Republican or one more hopeful of
the success of the party. not only in
Monroe County, but also in the State
and nation.
THE Indiana delegation to the New
York Convention are becoming de-
moralized, and there is danger that
they will refuse to carry out the in
struction of the State Convention in
favor of PENDLETON, aud go for HEN
DRIoKs. The delegate from this Dis
trict is an open and active supporter
of HENDRICKS, and this city and
District will send to New York
good outside delegation of HEN
BRICKS screamers." VOORHEES, is
understood to be supporter OF HEN
DRICKs's nomination, hoping that he
may be able to step into his place in
the Senate; and most of the leading
State politicians will be found advo-
eating his claims The PENDLEToN
escort will have to look after the H.
dianians.
Hon. HENRY STANBERY has re-
turned to Cincinnati, and resumed
the practice of law at his old Office.

Iris going round the papers that,
while chatting with three or four
Congressman, Senator SALISBURY, in
speaking of the Democratic Conven-
ton in July, said: IF they nominate
CHASE, I suppose [ must support him,
but I'll be hanged if won't make
fight before I see SUMNER put on the
ticket with him for Vice President.
The various organs of the Democ-
racy are busy just now in reading each
other out of the party. The New
York World, the Chicago Times, the
La Crosse Democrat, the Peoria Dem
0crat, the Dayton (0.) Ledger, and
several other journals of the sama
persuasion, take part in this pleasant
pastime. The masses of the party are
as inharmonious as the newspapers.
THAT well-informed journal, the
Commercial AdUertiser of Buffalo. /
holds to the opinion that HoRATIo
SEYMOUR viii be the Democratic can
didate for President. The New York
San says: This might be so if it were
not for the PENDLEToN men. They
feel that the defeat of their favorite,
which they now begin to look upon as
inevitable, is due to Governor SEY- /
MoUR more than any other man, and
they mean to pay him for it. In the
