/
have nominated for Congress ex-Mayor Alfred Mills Of
Morrstown. Nr Mills is lawyer OF large practice,
man of great personal popularity and is In every way
eredabIe candidate. His friends are confident OF bis

Gen. Spinner is a political veteran OF &C.
knowledged keenness of foresight He writes 70 Wash
! ington friend, from his home at Mohawk, New-York;
This state seems to reasonably TO go for the Re-
nubcan nominees at the coming election. II Ohio and

| man who adyertises himself for a reformer
fin this campaign complain IL his right TO the
title is tested Mr. Watterson comes in for shot, which,
Though not very heavy one to hit the ceuter It
s charged that though he occupied seat In Congress
during the last session only about two hours he drew
pay for a month, in addition TO his mileage amounting
In All TO about 81 900. IL the charge 10 false affords
him uncommon opportunity to make telling state
ment to that elect.
The Hon. ID. w. Voorhees, is another re-
former bothered with superiority OF record He re-
marked in recent speech: 81 say we all alike put
down the rebellion" Tnis sounded frstrate till The In
dlonapos Journal went prowling about among dead Is
sues and dug up this neat little figure Of speech INDUCED
in by the Mr. Voorhees, in 1862: Every soldier IN
the Union army ought to be taken 20 blacksmith SHOP
and have an iron collar nodded around bis neck. and
have stamped upon 10 these words My d0g.OA LL'

| beiOn is not popular one.

reasons for believing the Democrats will be disap-
pointed: "They making INSTALLATIONS. They VIII

Senator Thurman adheres to hard money,
but as means of holding out his hand half way to the
her wing of his party Ohio he announces his prefer
| ence that the hard money should BIO silver. This
| is the way he talks in a recent speech: "And
what has .been the recent financial legislation OF
our Radical rulers The silver dollar equally with gold
was a legal tender for all amounts from the foundation
OF the Government until 1874 Every bond issued by
the Government prior TO that year might according to
the law in when issued, be paid in silver dol
lars or gold dollars al the option OF the Government
Every debt due by individual might be paid by him in
Ike manner at his option But 1873 Congress stopped
the coinage of the silver dollar and in 1874 demonetzed
it in effect by making 1t legal tender for the sum Of S.
