TRIRsJTE TO WORTH.
From the Brownstown Banner
We had the pleasure of a cali from Hon. |
NJ. c. Kerr, ex-Iaember Of congress, who was
called to town on business connected with |
his legal profession. Mr.. Kerr is undoubt- |
edly one of the purest and ablest men in In
diana. He is emphatically a representative
statesman of the west and its interests, and
as such, during his congressional career, his
position and utterances commanded univer-
| sal attention. Than Michael G. Kerr. no
man entered the halls of congress and came
| OUT with a purer record behind and brighter
prospects before.

g reorganize the democratic forces of tine
D county by the appointment of the commit

d the party in proper order for the work be
n fore it. This convention will also, W.
/? presume, appoint delegates to tn,
g. state convention and TO COMPRESSION

s. coming political campaign promises to b.
one OF unusual interest. In addition I,
state officers the people will have to choos
