The election in this State will undoubt-
edly be one of unusual interest, and every
inch of ground will be hotly contested by
both political parties 1t is regarded as
close between parties, and this will be the
first important State election before the
presidential contest comes off, and it is
thought that the result of the Ohio State
election will, which ever way it goes ,have
a favorable result in the same direction in
other States of the Union. This will
make things warm in political circles.
this year.

Senator Morton made the Democratic
fur fly yesterday, when he rose to answer
the charge against his integrity Whlle
Governor of Indiana. The Sons of Lib
erty, otherwise called Democrats, carried
the State, and refused to let him have
money to equip the troops. He borrowed
the necessary funds from banks, and cor
poratiOns, and the National Government,
and sent the boys in blue to the field,
there to fight the friends of the Indi-
ana traitors, and subsequently account
ed for every dollar of the funds expend-
ed. 1t required a brave man to do that,
but Morton was equal to the OCCASION
| Subsequently a loyal Legislature was
elected, and Morton's conduct was en-
| dorsed. The loyal people of the country
indorsed it also; and if the defunct and
whipped Sons of Liberty were not fools
they would not seek to bring to the sur
face again that piece of history which is
as disgraeeful to them rs it is creditable
to the great Indiana War GovernOr.-Cia-
