country press of the Democracy on
the nomination of SEYMOUR and
BLAIR, but omits the brilliant edi-

THE Democratic papers of Hon.
DAvY LAIRD's Common Pleas Dis
trict are in fierce quarrel over the
change of time of holding the Con-

Col. DE LA HUNT, the editor of the
Cannelton Reporter, whose war
record " so enamored the proprietor
(not the editor) of the Evansville
Courier for tl0o or three days, made
the change. The Jasper Courier is
savage on it, and makes the threat of
throwing the 1900 Democratic ma

PENDLEToN was within a very few
votes of majority, ten of the dele
gates from Indiana basely deserted
him. lie said he would not permit
this misrepresentation to proceed any
furtheE without denouneing it as it
should be. Mr.. MCDONALD took no
notice of the ardent Pendletonian' 5
question, and the Fenian ColonePs
voice was drowned in the cries of

The Sentinel Is already proposing
