The Democrats of the Potter inves-
tigating committee got more evil
dence last Thursday than they want
ed. Anderson had stated that Judge
Levissee, one Of the Republican cleo
tors in Louisiana, had voted a blank
in the electoral college. and the
Judge was called to testify in the
case. He stated that he had cast his
vote for Hayes and Wheeler, but that
he had been offered $4,000 for his
vote by the Tilden managers. This,
coming from their own witness, and
from a man whose veracity has never
been questioned, is deadener on the
Democracy. 1t shows conclusively
that in at least two States, Oregon
and Louisiana,) Mr.. Tilden attempted
to buy his way into the Presidential
chair. 10

Hot Work.

General James W. Singleton, of
Quincy, Illinois, is well known all
over the Northwest as a very ultra
Greenback man, and one Of the ear
lest and most persistent agitators.
There was a Democratic congress
sional convention at Quincy last FRI
day, and General 8. was one Of the
candidates for nomination to Con-
gress. The convention labored,
sweat and swore for two days and
nights before it finished its work. At
last the Greenback element was con-
centrated upon Singleton, and he was
nominated. The convention then
broke up in row. After the dele
gates left the hall they gathered on
the street corners and numerous
fights and knock downs occurred, and
a few pistol shots were exchanged.

Trustees, Card.

Prof. A. M. Ward has had the prin-
cipalship of the Argos schools for two
years, and In this time he has brought
about a great reformation in school
government; has instituted a system
attic classification in grading. and now
has the whole school, upstairs and
down, running in the most systematic
order, advancing the pupils in their
studies beyond expectation, which
fact has been verified by some Of our
best instructors, and 1t Is now with
much reluctance that we accept his
resignation.
1t is the bitter words of censure
toward US from a few of our constit-
uents, that we had no right to engage
teachers for longer time than one
year, and that We were paying them
altogether too much money, that has
actuated us to undo that about which
so much has been said, and leave the
new board free to act in the way most
appropriate in their judgment. We
have labored with will and accord
Ing to our best judgment, and we
feel rewarded in finding our schools
a credit to our town and an honor to
our retiring Superintendent.

Indiana Republicans:

The Republican Convention held
at Indianapolis last week was one of
the largest and most harmonious ey-
or held In the State. While the plat
form Is, perhaps, longer than is nec-
essary, it expresses the views of the
Republican party on the vital issues
before the country. The Republicans
OF Indiana, now that resumption is a
settled fact and Congress has decided
that greenbacks shall not be retired.
demand that financial agitation shall
cease In order that the industries OF
the country may revive, and prosper
ity come. The platform was adopted
without dissenting vote, and feel
ing OF coming victory seemed to per-
vade all present, and this feeling is
shared by Republicans throughout
the State. There is no boisterous en-
thusiasm, buta calm and settled opin-
ion that the Government is safe only
In the hands OF those who stood by it
in the hour OF peril, and the determi-
nation to again place in power, not
body Of demagogues who care only
for personal agrandizement, but men
honest and true, who lave at heart
their country's interest, and who do
not believe there is or can be any
conflict between labor and capital,
men who believe In the perpetuty of
the Union and the maintenance OF
law or order.
The ticket Is a good one and each
man on 1t is just the one for the place
to which he has been nominated.
The platform, sketch Of the candidates
and Gen. Ben Harrison's ringing
speech are to be found on the first
page OF to-day's paper. With such
ticket and platform If the RepubH-
cans Of Indiana but do their duty,
even without the assistance OF thous-
ands OF honest Democrats who ought
to vote the ticket, and many who will
vote 1t, victory is assured.

A terrible crime was perpetrated
In Green township, Hancock county,
ten miles north OF Greenfield, Ind,
last Friday night. Mrs. Sarah Jane
Wilson, a widow lady, and her little
niece. a girl seven or eight years Of
age, were murdered by strangulation,
the evidence at the inquest showing
that they bad been seized by the
throat and held until life was extinct.
Mr.. Wilson died sometime last sum-
mer. leaving a viii in which survi-
wing relatives were interested. Mrs.
Wilson declined to accept the pro-
vision Of the win. and a partition Of
the property was rendered in the
courts last Thursday, and 1t is
thought the murder was committed
to get the woman and girl out of the
way. Stephen E. Bales, brother-in-
law Of Mrs. Wilson's, who lived on
the farm Is believed to have COM
mitted the decd. He first reported
the murder. His story Is decidedly
conflicting, and he has q number of
burises and scratches on his face and
hands, which he does not satisfacto.

agains him, and lynching is feared.
