CoxonEss. We have seen private
letter from a prominent Democratic
member Of Congress. from Kentucky,
Ia which. he says Speaker Kerr has
made some grave mistakes in the for
nation Of his committees, and he is of
opinion that the work will go on
slowly on account Of new men having
been put on committees us chairmen.
He is opposed to oil Subsidies by the
government, such as aid at this time
10 the Texas Pacific road, or all To
the centennial. That Democrats who
preach, should also practice rctrench'
ment and reform, and that if Congress
vote these subsidies, they will be de-
feated in the Presidential race next
November. How many of the Ken
lucky delegates agree with the gentle
man, we do not know. We are firm
frisnd to the Texas Pacific, but would
no, havo our chances spoiled for a
Democratic President by voting sub
sidy to any road or purpose. We do
not exactly see how the vote in favor
OF the Texas Pacific could be called u
subsidy. or how it would jeopardise our
chances for the Presidency. 1t Is only
as an endor,er that we ask the general
government to favor the road, and she
would be amply secured by q full
MOI tgage on the road and its franchises.

In Indiana, state officers, members Of
the 45th Congress, two Representatives to
fllyacancies in the 44th Congress, mem-

Just Withdrawn his candidacy, but the
rest OF the ticket for state officers and
Congress is yet in nomination.
The vote Of Indiana in past years is

October, 1868, the Republican majority
for Governor was S,6l1 smaller than for

to within so yards OF the train, when the
men sent a volley into the red skins, who

were from Bellairc, Benwood and the sur

HIS CLAIMS.

The claims Of Henry NJ. Mathews on
our people for office are simply these,
VIE: that for four years he sought tc
invade us, to destroy our prosperity, to
destroy our government, and to destroy
our State; and that after he failed in all
these, and after the war, he undertook
to dismember our territory and carry
part Of it back into Old Virginia.
Hisone other claim Is that he took
sides with Auditor Bennett against The
people ofthe State.
