LudiCrOus Campaign Stories Connected for East
ern Construction.
A New York newspaper prints a marvellous &C.
count, in the shape Of correspondence from Indi-
annapolis, Of the misbehavior Of Mr.. WIN. H. Eng

i guess If that story were printed in the county
where the Englishes, father and son, lived for

Elisha Euglish was well known throughout the
State Of Indiana as a strong, uncompromisipg

English is close listed. He is a pain, unaffected
