Campaign She;ls.
[ From the Sentinel.

Reports from the back counties say
that Judge LOOMS is a Presbyterian.
The Grafton arrangement sends
four Democratic Congressman from
this State.
Bob. Ingersoll's satellite announces
himself Presbyterian to the people
Of the back counties.
LOOMS posing as a christian is one of
the ridiculous features Of this cam
paign.
"Nevor were better" is the univer-
sal response 70 an inquiry of Mr.. Glib.
sons chances.
Gibson is met with an ovation
wherever he speaks, while LOOMS
speaks to crowds so small that an or
binary army wagon would hold them.
All the lying that can be done
about Gibson will not affect the re-
suit. He will be elected. And his
majority will be in the thousands.
1t is rumored that two thousand
dollars OF the Hubbell corruption
fund was promised DR.. Barbee, for
his indirect assistance. Whether
the Doctor accepted the offer or not
is yet 10 be determined.
The Putnam Democrat thinks that
if Reynolds, the Independent Probi.
bition candidate for Congress in the
third district, secures the support of
the Greenbackers and Republicans
he may come within eleven or eight
thousand of defeating Kenna.
Loomis attended a prayer meeting
while speaking in the interior, pro-
Tossing to be u Christian. Being
called upon to pray he couldn't refuse,
and said: ave pray thee, Oh, Tom
Paine" then recalling his mistake
he grabbed his hat and circulating
damn my fool luck" he bolted
through the window, and hasn't been

Election Law.

We make the following extracts
from the election law, passed last
winter. 1t is important that the
people be informed as to the great
changes that have been made in the
law:
"Section 6 of Chapter .155 of the
acts of last winter provides that the
County Court Of each county shall,
before the general election, appoint
three persons, one Of whom at least
shall be Of opposite politics to the
Others, TO act as Commissioners Of
Election at the Court House, and Il
similar appointment for every other
voting place in the county. But at
precincts whore more than five hun
dred votes were cast at tho last gen.
eral election for State offices, the
Court shall appoint, in addition,
three canvassors. AT precincts at
which Canyassors are appointed, two
ballot boxes shall BIO provided, and
Section 10, of the same act, provides
that the canvassers, assisted by two
clerks, to be appointed by them, all
of whom shall be duly sworn, shall, as
soon as fifty votes have been cast, be-.
gin the counting of the vote, the Com
missioners using the other box until
the canvassers have finished count
ing the ballots in the first box, when
the cunvassers shall take the box
into which ballots have been depos-
tied while they were counting, Civ.
ing to the Commissioners the empt-
led box, and SO on till the polls are
closed.
"Undor the head of "Offonses relat-
ing to elections" Chapter $780, it is
provided in Section 10, that if any
person give, or offer to give, or dis.
tribute any Intoxicating drink to a
voter on election day he shall, if
elected, forfeit his Office and be re.
moved therefrom.
The most important provision is
that relating to the tickets to be used
at elections. Sec 5, Chapter 100, of
the Acts of 1882, reads as follows:
"And when any political party
shall in convention assembled nomi-
nate the full number of persons to be
voted for at the ensuing election for
State or county officers or for Repre-.
sentatives in the Congress of the
United States, and shall print and
or cause to be printed and
circulated, ballots TO be used in vot.
ing at such election, containing all
the names of the persons so nominal
ted, printed in Roman letters and
with black ink, with 4 headline show.
ing the name Of such political party,
it Shall be unlawful for any person
to print or circulate, or to furnish to
any voter, or other person to be used
in voting at such election, any print
ed ballot with the same heading, and
similar in appearance of, and to the
ballot printed Us aforesaid, contain

GibsOn's lMaIoriiies.

Those who read our paper regular
ly know that we are not much given
to dragging, but as the Radical ed
itors Of this District are claiming
that LOOMS will carry the district
for Congress, we propose to do a lit
tie predicting, to see how our figures
will compare with theirs, and hence
enumerate Gibson's and LOOMS
majorities by counties. AS for DR..
Barbee, we can't see where he can
hope to carry a voting precinct,
much less a county.
We want you to lay this paper
aside until after the election, and
then compare the result with our
figures, and see how near our figures
are correct:

The Next Congress.

The political probabilities of the
next House engage the attention Of
the New York Suns correspondent at
Washington. He puts no faith in
the Arthur Malone coalition at the
south, and shows the Democratic
strength from that section will not
be diminished but increased, and in
this way, with gains at the North,
figures out these results, compared
with the existing strength of parties
in Congress;
