The Senatorial question is getting
somewhat interesting in this State.
The Legislature stands IA Democrats,
81 Republicans and IA Nationals. The
leaders Of the National party claim
that they are not going to sell out to
Daniel; but as it will only take the
votes Of two Nationals to elect him,
IL he can get the votes Of all the DEM
ocratic members, we think Daniels
chances are good. The Nationals
have always been for sale wherever
they have had any members In Leg
islature, and it would be strange IL
men elected to Office on a platform
based on dishonesty should prove to
be honest men. We have no doubt
that there are many honest, though
deceived men who voted the National
Greenback ticket. but we do not
think it probable that an honest man
would be elected to the Legislature
on platform favoring Reputation.

The Democratic central Commit
tee and general managers Of the par.
ty, have been at work during the past
week, trying to gerrymander the
Congressional districts of the State
in such way as will give the largest
number possible of Democratic Con-
gressmen. They!have arranged them
so as to give the Democrats 9 and the
Republicans districts. There are a
number Of Democratic political aspi-
rants in the Legislature however, and
when that body meets, they may
make material alterations in the dis
tricts as mapped out by this Demo-
cratic Committee. They have divi-
ded this end of the State as follows:
Eleventh district-Lake, Porter, New
ton, Jasper, Pulaski, Fulton, Cass, Ben

Horrible Tragedy Near Yincennes, In
diana.

John d. Vdcelot, wife and two sons,
residing about two miles south of
Vincennes, were brutality murdered
Wednesday night Of last week by a
farm hand named Pierre Provost, who
lived with them.
Provost went to the nearest neigh
Dor, about half mile away, at
4 o'clock Thursday morning. with
only his shirt on; arousing them he
told them in broken English that they
had hell of time over at Vacelot's,
that he had come near getting killed
but had escaped through a window.
On going to the house, the neiYhbors
found two sons, aged fourteen and
sixteen, dead in bed; the father lying
in the doorway of their room and the
mother in bed in an adjoining room,
all cold in death and terribly man.
gled. The victims had been literally
chopped TO pieces with an axe. Three
bloody axes were found in the house,
but it was soon apparent that only
one of them had been used, the 9TH
ers having evidently been smeared
with blood. The window through
which Provost claimed to have es-
cared was examined, and it was evil
dent from the undisturbed cobwebs
that 1t had not been raised for months.
Vacelot had drawn a hundred dollars
from the bank Wednesday, but
whether he had any other money
about the house was not known. Pro-
vost was arrested, a Coronel's jury
was impaneled and he was examined.
He remained perfectly cool during
the examination, but all the evidence
produced by the surroundings was
against him, and after two days of
hard work, the jury rendered the fol-
lowing verdict: ave, the jury. find
that the deceased persons came to
their death at the hands OF Pierre
Provost. the prisoner"
But little is known of Provost's past
history. He said he was 81 years old.
He had been living with Mr.. Vacelot
some time, and Vacelot seemed to
place the utmost confidence in him.
He was committed to Jail Saturday.
On entering the Jail Sunday morning,
to serve breakfast to the prisoners.
the Sheriff found his dead body sus-
pended from the bars OF the upper
bunk in his cell. He had formed a
moose with his coat and towel eigh-
teen inches in length, but in order to
stranele himself. had to draw up his
feet and legs and hold them in that
position, so that they would not
touch the floor until respiration
ceased. Scarcely any doubt OF his
guilt now exists.

When our paper currency is con-
vertible into gold and silver, at the
pleasure OF the holder, we may we'll
boast OF having the best financial sys-
tenn in the world. If the policy of the
Republican party is faithfully carried
out this good time will come in sixty
days Then we shall have the bust
ness OF the country resting upon a
solid basis and free from the fiuctua-
tons and consequent uncertainties of
an irredeemable currency. A green
back should be worth one hundred
cents on a dollar. The poor mans
dollar-the dollar paid the laborer
should be just as good as the dollar
paid the bondholder. and the policy
advocated by the Republican party
will make il so.

Contrary to the usual rule the Man
haitian Savings-bank robbery in New
York increases rather than diminish
es in magnitude upon investigation.
1t is now thought the entire amount
OF money. bonds and securities stolen
will reach, il not exceed $4,000, 900.
This is probably the largest bank
robbery that has ever occurred in the
United States. The officers OF the
bank state that the surplus is more
than sufficient to cover any possible
loss, and that depositors will be paid
in full. The entire detective force Of
New York is at work, but no clue to
the robbers has yet been found.

Two years ago the Democrats OF
Colorado held a second election for
member Of Congress, in which the
Republicans did not participate,
knowing that legal election had al
ready been held; but the Democratic
House admitted the man chosen at
that election. The Democrats of
Iowa pretend now to believe that the
October election was not regular and
constitutional-though the best law
yers have decided that it was-and
propose to hold another election in
November, hoping that the Demo
cratic majority in the House will ad-
NIT the Democrats elected by them.
What il the Republicans of Indiana
and Ohio should hold elections in the
Democratic districts next Tuesday,
and send up eighteen Republicans to
ask for seats to which Democrats have
been elected?

unlocking the doors OF the vault to
the robbers. He. gave it under
threats OF death, but he failed to
state how he got possession of the
combination. His wife corroborated
his story of the attack, but said there
were only five men in the party. Mr..
Lent, Broadway merchant passed
the bank soon after z o'clock this
morning, and saw young man dust
ing the shelves and desks inside. 1t
is supposed that this was done by the
burglars endeavoring to make every
thing look as natural as possible.
Officers Vanerton and Tully said
they looked through the bank win
dow between and z o'clock, and all
was quiet. The vault can be seen
from the street. Inside the main
doors of the safe-vault the burglars
found an open space with shelves up
on which were tin boxes filled with
iewelry, silver and valuable papers.
These they emptied. They overlook
ed one box on the back shelf con-
tanning $4,000 in valuables, the
property of Edward Schell, the pres
ident of the bank. The open space,
six feet, between the main door OF
the vault and the doors of the inner
safe, gave the burglars ample space
to work in. They pried open
one compartment containing SILL
600 in small bills. They next
forced the bottom drawer, but got
nothing Of value therefrom. The
wedges were found in the upper
compartments, which they were try
ing TO force when they were evident
ly disturbed. Twelve drills, a sledge-
hammer, three sectional jimmies and
other tools were found scattered
around. The officers of the bank ad-
init that the janitor possessed the
OOuuludtIOu W tuc Vault. IL was
given him months ago so that he
could take out the books and make
ready for business. The officers OF
the bank are Edward Schell, presi
dent and treasurer: C. T. Alvord, sec

officers statement:

James Z. Anderson, who was the
principal witness before the Potter
committee, In the attempt Of the
Democratic party to blacken the
character Of John Sherman and other
prominent Republicans, now declares
that the Sherman letter was forgery.
Anderson says that when he testified
before the Potter committee he be-
lieved the letter tc be genuine. But
he declars that when the man who
had possession OF the letter came to
Washington and he examined it and
compared 1t with Sherman's hand
writing, he Immediately pronounced
it forgery, The Democrats then at
tempted to keep him away from
Washington. And, although having
the original letter In their possession,
never produced 1t, knowing that it
was a forgery. He says the man who
brought it was hired by the Demo-
Gratis to aid In fastening Its author
ship on Sherman. He states that
perjured witnesses bought with
money, testified before that commit
tee, Whether his statements are true
or false, he is their witness and the
witness that they relied on to build
up case for Tilden, and his state
ments show at least the kind OF wit
nesses they had and disclose the in
fanny of the plot. The fact that the
original letter was never produced
goes far to corroborate his statement
that the Democratic managers knew
that it was forged.

Speaker Randall says that he never
sent a cipher dispatch: but admits
that he wrote dispatch in English
and that somebody else put it in
cipher. Like Tilden, he virtually adj
mits that the dispatch was sent, but
denies that he sent it. There seems
no longer any room TO doubt the gen.
uineness of the Tribttpe's cipher dis
patches; and the evidence showing a
great conspiracy OF Tilden and his
friends to blacken the character of
Secretary Sherman and other prom
inent Republicans, by means Of the
Potter Committee, is accommodating.
Light il beginning to glimmer
through the darkness, and we have no
doubt that time will show that the
attempt OF Tilden g. Co. to steal the
Presidency exceeds, in criminal ras-
cality, anything that ever disgraced
the annals of American politics.
