the Greenbsck hesd-cenasr, and mos
afflicted region in the state. Some orato
Is blowing every night and oftsn two. II
they don't give the psopls of Terrs Haute
q rest. there win be 10 Inhabitants LETT TO
vote--sli talked to death. The Democrats
want Mclean, the X pubiicans, Morton
Hunter, and the Independents, old Perry
Davis, OF Vermilion. Hunter is already
dead on account of his e. Paso swindle
and the detection OF Re publicans to the
Independent ranks. McLsan is makiug
splendid besdway among tho miners of
clay county snO winning over a good
squad OF green hackers. His hope reste ON
the act that Hunter Is so devilish dead
Davis was never suspected OF having
Drain, but Smith, of Terrs HsUte, swesTs
be has a theory, aud that il all that is re-
quired over there. Put down the Eighth
- doubtful, with Democratic probabili-
Ties ana independent posi- bilities.
NINTH DISTRICT.
Triangular fight. George McWillisms.
OF Covington, Democratic; Mike White, of
Charlottesville, Republican; and Leroy G.
Templeton, Independent. The district polls
81 600 votes, all counties giving msjorities
varying from 100 to 800 except Warren
and Tipp. canoe, which have been Repub-
licsn together by about 600 to 500 votes,
la Fountain county the Independents are
strong, but in all other localities the rartv
issues are straight. The district is r pub
licsn, but is not hopelessly lost this time.
A slight surprise il in store tor some one.
TENTH DISTRICT.
Another triangular fight DR.. Raymond,
OF Monticello, is reuominsted by the
Democrats, and Major w. 81. Cslkins, of
Lsporte. by the Repu blicsn7, while the In
dependents hang out George w. Majors,
OF Rensselaer,. HsymnDd went in on the
tidal wave OF 1874 by 6S2 majority, but sick
Dess has prevented him from making Wig
orous canvass, and he has furthermore
lost some German strength in Lake county
by being connected with the Chicago and
South Atlantic road, which swsmped the
people OF Lake. He has male himself
Door in trying to pay OF these claims,
though be Is not legally re ponsible tor
them, and Is gaining ground to-day.
Cslklns IL display figure. who
travels on his shane and smiles like
be face of SDring. DR.. Raymond is not
an honest man. C4iklrs il q jobber,
whose only relation to the people of bis
district is discreditsbe. While in the
) afe Senate he loboied Tor scheme to
drsin the Karkskee lands tor the scrdid
purposes OF specu lation, sDd this is rising
against him in judgment now He is en-
erge'ic- VI scrupulouS, oily and double
tOneued, ana is making q vigorous can
vass. Ii Raymond continues to satisfy
bis German friends in Lske county that
be is not responsible Tor tEeir losses, for
his own loss was tesv or, but that he
nevertheless il going out Ut his way to sat-
isfy them, and If he tps umDup TO his
ticket, good-Dy Cslkins. The latter only
claims 20 be two hundred ahead, and
Hsymond may still be able to clear it
off. Count it Republican now.
ELEVENTH DISTRICT.
This gave Brown against Hendricks a
msiority of two thousand six hundred in
1872, and is still counted a Republican
district. Uncle Jimmy Evans, of
Noblesville, is up for q second term, but
has the most popular man In the district
To compete with, Col. AID. Armstrong, of
KnkOmo. Armstrong, when running for
ate Senate. walked away with Howard
county, Republican, by eight hundred
majority. All irs have changed material
ly In this district. Graham N. Fitch, who
lad the straight out movement against
Greeley in 1872, and thus cut down the
msi Drity in Cas- Tor Hendricks, is now in
full sympathy wiih both ns,iopal snd
state tickets, and IN consequence of this
and the energy otthe Y ing Democracy
under R1fus Msgee. Csss will 20 from 500
to L 900 the ticket, while Miami and
TiptOn Will th give ircrs' ssd mei 0rities.
Armstrong; personal popularity is great
power. He is maxi prsc zeal, hand
soaking canvass. Put DOWN this district
as doubtfully r pubIcac.
TWELFTH DISTRICT,
Democratic by only sboul 500 majority.
1t gave Hendricks Tor governor in 1872 just
4 All. No portion of the state IS better or
ganlzsd aud more eDthus a tic han the old
Twelfth. Ali dissenhiJD & r 'rt Wayne
are buried. Hamilt OF Fort Weyoe will
be returned of course. BoDhsm Of Hart
Iord City is up Tor slaughter on the otner
side.
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT.
Here is a1otber one Of LbOse anomalies
IN politics After going r puhlicsn in 1872
BY SSl majority, it allo wed joan BAkerto
so leeze into Congress two years ago by
Just So. He has the sane old contestant to-
day, old farmer Kelley of Noble. Kelley
was a prominent leader in The grange
out OF which the In
dependent business was evolved,
and now has the advsntage over
Baker of standing solid with his Inde-
pendent clement, whose support be can
count upon 10 the absence of any regular
Iudepei dent nominee. He n Greenbsck
enough to suit even "Plsn" Buchanan, and
has secured the open -op ration or
prominent Independens on local tcke's
ike Judge Toussv, OF Noble. Marshall
will increase her D4mocTstic msjoriIies,
which stood firm at six undred all during
the war while E kosrt will hold her own
over from the vote of 1874, and La Change
will not hold her own Cd Publican ma
