jority-a65; the third, ! ma5pxity Of I, $50, and
making thesecond decidedly Democratic. The
election Of two yean ago, however, gave each
one Of the three districts to -tbe Democrats BY
substantial maiozities. This wns owing, to =
considerable e,tent, to fraudalant yotes i'm.
entirely prevented under tho new Election l&w.
This law requires division Of the election
boards between the two parties and 1nakea 1t
the duty Of the inspectolsto number each bal
number placed On the roll book opposite the
name Of the voter. A comparison. of the two
can only be made In caeo Of . contested cleo
ton; but 4 fraud should be committed il
would then most certainly be aho1n~ There
ia still thig preiudice which / nave noantionad
to Be- overcome, md with the actuai polling Of
the colored vote it viii be difficult to estimate
this exactly. Even with the negroes Voting 81
mort to man for tho Republican ticket, With
out saking for any Of ths Offices, this pfeiu-
dice will Keep some men from the polls.
The First District, comprsing the counties
IN the southwestern corner OF tho State, in the
very bottom Of what is known - the :. Poeksk," !"
y represented by Hon William E. fiblack, Of
slncennes. ne WA elected two years $50 BY
ma3orty q l,4sb ever General veach, lste
AdJusant 9enefA OF the State and now Col-
lector Of that district. This was Democratic
gain IN two yeats, Of 1851, the sams
counnes n@yln8 gwen HepublcAn majority
IN 1856 ai 265. An estimate OF the colored
vote OF !, fhe d1st5aef en6 p ws informed persoas
lepublicans md probably will do go, with
good candidate and the right spirit shown.
Inc hepubltcans most prominently spoken Of
foT the nomination are Hon. Hobert 7. Ke1che-
"a, "a, OF spencer County; Colonel Cyeus NJ
feIgusonY q Flke County They are Ill good
men. NJ. hercheTal served With much credit
In the toTer house OF the lat Legislature, and
came within , few votes Of receiving the NOM
nation for treasurer OF Stste IN the late State
Convention. Colonel Alien has been identi-
fled with the politics Of tho state foz . num-
her OF yaarH, has been An Mdent
Republican hnce the party WAS frat
organized, and has served in the
State Legislature with abi1i ?. He is exceed
1t times, to vindictigeness, not alone toward
Pohuca1 opponente, but even toward those Of
LIS own party, sometimes, Who NAY not hap
pen TO think PRECISELY with him. This, Of
course, has made him aomexhat' unpopular,
Captain Ferguson is leas generally known, but
he is an excellent man The nomination
seems to lie between him and Mr. Kercheral.
The convention viii be held 1t Princeton,
Gibson County. june l6. The Democratic
Convention has not yet been appointed.
The Second District is the darkest portion |
OF the State. It does not contain q single |
county which gives Republican majority,
and but few OF the counties are reached by |
ra!lroad- The present Representative, Hon. |
Michael @. Kerr, OF New Albany, vas elected |
two years ago over Judge GreahAm, very
popular man, by majority of 6, ,436: He viii |
be renominAted and reelected beyond doubt. !
although. one Simeon 4 Wolf, Of Harrison 7
County, who was one OF the most prominent
ture Of 1868, has been working hard to defeat |
him. A. the chief reason which be gives ia
that heH promised to Btand as1de - re1t i
tmo,' aud give him chance, he does not /
make much headWa5, especially - his sa:age
manner rather creates sympathy for Nj. Kerr /
The Republican vo.e will be- augmented y
tWo thousand !1 or more coioted bailota, but this
VII still leave hopelesaly large margin to run
agalnst. me convention VIII DO held at New
Albany, June l5s when Lamb Will DO led to \
the slaughter. Tie Democratic Convention |
will tie held at the Same place, July q.
There ehnnh be 10 doubt Ii to the result |
in the Third District. It is now represented !
y Hon william y, Holman, Democrat, who I
vas elected orer Judge Lamb, two years ago,
bg majority Of 7c5. Iha majority. for Hsn-
dr1cks over Eaker for GoTernor in the ssme
counties WAS but al3, aud, two years before.

Las, Slln eooa nomination On t1e othet aide'
le elould, and probably Will, be debated
a sat1ety o.; interests haze to be consulted,
however. Dearborn and Ripley Countes, con-
taining large number Of Germans, who vote l
all right, il the candidate is not too much Of
Temperance mar, while the temperance feeling

Win probably deteat him, m which event be
will 60 to The 6tAta Senate aEam- b> chances
for the nomination seem to be in favor Of
Rev. Henry 3. Pritchard, Of Bartholomew,
C.mpbel!ite preacher, who u = shue.d and
CANVASS. He came very near gstting tho unni-
nation two years ago. The name Of Judge
Samuel B. Bonner, Of GreensburB, Mr. Cum
backs law partner, and Of de1eEA Ben; Spoon,
er, of LaW1eneeburg, Uhiied States nazahsl
.for the State, h&ve been faTorshty mentioned,
but neither one OF them seeEns to be disposed
to either seek the nomination o. accept il, il
tende1ed- The convention Will be held 1t
Madison, June 16.
in the Fourth District the nominations have
both been made, already. Mr.. Julian had 80
long represented this District that his friends
seemed to regard it as almost personal insult |
when the effort uaB made 10 deposa him
Much bitter feeling was engende1ed between
lis friends and opponents, but he was fairly
beaten, and most gracefully gave in his sup
port to the successful candidate, Hon. Je1e-
miah II. Wilson, Of 'Connessville, who has
been Judge Of the Circuit Court foz several
years, and is acknowledged to be one OF the
most able jurists in the stata. The Demo
Gratis nominated Judge David g. Gooding, OF
Greenfield, at Rushville, yesterday. He VIII
be remembered as the Mnraha1 for the District
Of Columbia under johnson, and ~ his
botle-holder during tho paImieat. aa
well as tue most cloudy. days Of Ma
ern Democratic party, all wlqd md hluster,
and wholly without political principle. He hsa
presumed most upon the bad feeling in the
Republican ranks for his own success, but this
prop Il entirely gone, and he y u only hsvethe
privilege Of kicking up Wonderful dust IN his
the figures against him in October. Ju1ians
majority two years aEo WAS only 116, but that
OF balerwas $50: The eolored vote viii be.

white votes sway in this district.
The Fifth District ls now represented BY
General John Coburn. Of Indi1napolis, who \.
was electe d two years ago over Kaightley, BY
minority Of 1869. He will be renomHuated
without oppoeikion, md reelected without
difficulty. The colored vote m the distrlct |
