ELECTION Is CoMING.--We observe con-
siderable stir among the political wire pull
lcrs preparatory to bringing out candidates
for the new election. We presume the vot-
ers will have something to say upon the
question rho shall be clccted. Some choicely
hated traps will be sprung without catching
the game and some intricate webs will be
broken and candidates will find themselves
running at large without the responsibility
of office weighing them down heavily
Some of the finest spun theories will be ex
ploled when the votes are counted. There
| fore do not expect too much.

The Republican papers have been la
boring hard to :create an impression that
the Democrats of Indiana are not united,
Of course, such charges are untrue. the
wish that such were the case, being father
to the thought in every instance with the
Republican organs. Senator Mcdonald.
having been asked relative to the truth Of
the charge that Democrats were dissatis-
fed in Indiana, says that all such stories
are pure fsbrications; that the Democracy
of Indiana never were more united than
now; that there is more enthusiasm than
for years; and that the majority for the
Democratic state ticket in Indiana will be
at least ten thousand, if it does not go
over these figures. The Senator says
further that the Republican party, outside
of few strongholds. are in bad shape, and
the repeated storiess of great enthusiasm
for Judge Porter are mythical, He pre-
diets the triumphant election of the ma
tional Democratic ticket and thinks Han
cock will make one.of the best presidents
