political situStion and the prospect of |

actively engaged, but it is understood |
that Judge Niblsnk, Of the state supreme
court, is giving much practical advice
and sympathy to the NJ vement. Another
whom believe F, cretIy iavors it, is John
Shoemaker, of the Indianapolis Sentinel,
although he processes to os an ardent

curian has been established in Indian
spolis, and q good deal of matter
is being sent to the rurol democratic
