The Wrong man.
From the Cincinnati Times. !

from tH0 C1uclunatl 11meb.
Early this morning Mr.. G. G.. Palmer, q
well-known dealer on Change, residing In
Lockland, had an experience with a burg
lar that seemed likely to become very Sc
rious matter. Mr.. Palmer enjoys good
health and is almost massive in frame. He
is constructed with muscles that do not Of
fer many advantages to one within bis
grasp. His sturdiness of build has cour-
age to back It, and altogether he is the last
man whom discreet burglar would think
Of attacking. About halEpast two O'Clock
Mrs. Palmer was awakened by the noise of
door closing. She aroused her husband
who began to search for the cause of the
disturbance. Lighting a lamp he went
cautiously into the hall and was startled by
finding himself in uncomfortable close range
of q revolver In the hands of man hiding
behind the door. Before the rascal had
time to gather his wits for action, Mr.. Pal
mer was upon him, with grasp upon the
pistol that readily wrested it from the
struggling burglar, Breaking away the
burglar ran down stairs into the dining.
room, where Mr.. Palmer, closely following,
collsred him again. The wrestle now be-
came fast ard furious, ending with Mr.. Pal
mer getting his head in chancery. The fell
low begged for mercy and set out as an ur-
gent plea that he was man Of family. For
their sake he wanted to be spared. In the
first scuffle the burglar fired two shots, one
of them woanding Mr.. Palmer in the right
hand, but whether these shots were fired in
wrestling the revolver from the burglar, Mr.
Palmer does not know. The wound is slight.
The fellows begging was so piteous that
Mr.. Palmer, contented with the punishment
allowed him to go, ,leaving astrophies of the
encounter bis hat, pistol, and good guam
tity of hair that had been harvested from
his head. The burglar, Mr.. Palmer de-
scribes as being Of medium height, dark
complexion, and wearing blue rounda-
bout coat.

more "Sun" we take the following:
In the Arst-named State there will b
elected full State ticket, members Of Con-
gress, members Of the Legislature, and
town and county officers. There are thret
tickets in the field for State officers, Will
liams heading the Democratic, Harrison the
Republican, and Harrington the greenback,
(ths latter substituted In place Of Wolcott,
declined). The largest vote ever cast In
Indiana, SIC, ,57S, was polled in 1879, when
Hendricks was elected Governor by 1,14S
majority. In 1874 the vote cast for Secre-
tary of State was 263 .2s9, the Democratic
candidate having majority of 1.019. The
same year the vote for Congressman sggre-
gated 357.6e1, the Democratic majority
being 14,G29. 1t IL supposed the vote this
year, on account Of the great Importance at
tached to the election, will aggregate 40O,-
600. The present delegation in Congress
from Indiana stands eight Democrats to five
Republicans. In the coming election, In
addition to the full delegation to be chosen
for the Forty-ffth Congress, there will be
two vacancies filled for the Forty-fourth
Congress, one caused by the resignation in
the second district of James D. Williams,
the Democratic nominee for Governor, and
in the third district to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Speaker Michael G.
Kerr.
In Ohio the election will be for Secretary
of State, members Of Congress, members of
the Legislature and county officers. The
Democratic candidate for Secretary of State
is William Bell, Jr., present incumbent, the
Republicans present Col. Milton Barnes,
and the Prohibitionists F. s. Chapman. The
largest vote ever polled ia Ohio, 592,6S3,
was cast in 1875, when Hayes, Republican,
had 5,544 majority over Allen, Democrat,
and 2,592 over all opposition. In 1874, in
a vote Of 467 ,425 for Secretary of State, the
Democratic majority was 1857, and the
same year, on vote of 459,9S1, their
majority on the congressional ticket was
17,417. The Ohio delegation In the present
Congress stands thirteen Democrats to seven
Republicans.
In West Virginia State and county officers,
two judges of the Court of Appeals and
members of tho Legislature are to be chosen,
H. NJ. Matthews heading the Democratic
ticket, and General N. Gof the Republican.
There'is also Gieenback ticket in the field,
though not nominated by any convention.
The new Legislature will elect two United
States Senators, ono to succeed Hon. II. G..
Davis, whose term will expire on the 4th Of
March next, and another to fill tina vacancy
caused by the death of Hon. A. T. Caperton.
The old Legislature was Democratic by q
majority of fourteen in the Senate, and
in the House. The Congress
sional election will not take place until
November Z. In the election for President
In 1879, the Democrats carried the State by
q majority Of 1884 in vote of 81, 1,76e, and
in 1874, on the Congressional vote, their
majority was 8,951 on total vote Of 68, sos.
All three of the present Congressman from
West Virginia are Democrats.

The brains Of the Democratic party
are in the South, as they were for many
years before the war. This is natural
The strength Of the party is in the for
mer Slave States, and where political
organization is full Of vital force, there
it produces its most vigorous leaders.
Moreover the old Democratic party was
bottomed on pro-slavery theories and the
public men who chung to it in the North
only played second fiddle to their
Southern dictators. This will be the
case again, if Democratic President
should be elected in 1876. No matter
what his name is or what Northern State
he comes from, Southern influences VIII
control him, and it will be virtually an
admin istration by the same men who set
up the cbel'ion.-Commerci
