Mr.. Morton's position is explained by
tho fact that he wants TO be reelected
that the contest will be close one in
Indiana, and that his scheme cannot
succeed without the aid Of Mr.. Col.

Hendricks, for Governor; of Mr.. Kerr,
for one Of the Congressman. .at- large,
and filing the other offices with men
oflike honesty purity and intelligence,
Radical defeat is assured in the home
of Colfax and Morton. The former is
a veritable Jerry Sneak in politics,
wriggling out Of one Office into another
by slimy and unmanly ways, and the
latter, one of the most unscrupulous
and corrupt men in the United States
Colfax has been repudiated by his own
party, and at the next election Morton
will be laid on the shelf among other
damaged goods. The removal of Nor.

purify that body and bring back the
reign of dccency and reason to super.

dramatic as a performance on the
Bowery stage" That is undoubtedly
perfectly fair picture of Beecher's
average pulpit performances. Sauci.
ness, impertinence, aptness at familiar
illustrations, with an oulredramatic
style, arc tho sole charms of Beecher's
preaching. His talents, as q writer,
were fully tested in his abortion of a

was about the sorricst piece of litera.
