We oppose NJ. Voorhees, AS a candidate

seems to be. should represent Inciana in TIC

numbers of good democrats who are alnrest
as wild as VOORHEES, sen Initiation, that we

The Terxe Reute Evening G~srette, for
4 merly a republican paper, says in ar article
on the contest for senator in this stse:
But to speak positively, it was the cor
ruption OF sthe republican patty that
drove she Gazette away from its
support. There was too much of Grant
and his relatives, of Shepherd and his ring,
of Casey @ndNK elIogg, OF Murphy Lect and
Stocking, of Carpenter and Pon1eroy. of

Butler, of Credit Mobiler and salary grab.
It has come TO be a question net SO much
ofhow revenue shOuld'be collected whether
by tariff or direct taxation, o. whether

came down to the bed rock, iTst as it did
during Ihe war, when,Esen cared less for the
