animated controversy with buzz saw. Aud
the saw, apparently, is still in good working
order.
THE INDEPENDENT Republican Conven-
ton called in Missouri will, from present
indications, be largely attended. Prepara-

inducements were offered TO Ham Carter by
the Radical colony from Mississippi in

THE SITUATION in the Twelfth congressional
district of Illinois will probably be further
complicated by the Prohibitionists. Mr.
]. M. Riggs, the regular Democratic nomi-

LUKE PRYOR was nominated for Congress
in the Eighth district of Alabama by accIa-
nation. He is lawyer OF the first grade,
and numerous are the widows and orphans
who can point to him to-day and say be has

in the State. And there is not a Democrat
in North Alabama, who has not heard of the
fearless stump speaker for Democracy, Luke
Pryor.
