what unusual claim. 1t grows out of the late

charged at the close of the trouble. In 1865 he
was ON duty at Camp Morton, near Indianapolis
He was private, and, as was customary, wore

never could apprehend the thief, although he
made strenuous effort to do so-stole the revol-

was charged to him and deducted from his pay.
He thinks that charge negotiable and unjust,
and asks the government to pefund it to him,
with interest since May, 1865. He swears to the
merits of the claim, and it has been presented in
the House by Representative Matson, and re
ferred to the committee on claims.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, March 21.-At a meeting of the
Democratic leaders of this county, held at the
nary arrangements for consolidating the Re
view and Democrat, of this city, were perfected.
The new paper will be styled the Review-Demo-
crat, and will be owned by joint stock company.
The organization will probably be completed to-
morrow. R. C. Glassco, late of Tuscola, Ill.
will be editor, and E. E. Rettig, of the defunct
Seymour Business, business manager. The new
paper will make its first appearance next week.
This consolidation has been effected for the pur
pose of securing harmony in the party, but the
probability is that George Winter the boss dis
organizer of the county, and the publisher of the
Evening STAR a local daily, will at once start a
weekly to take the place of the Review, of which
he was the founder in 1880 W. r. Brownlee, for
many years editor Of the Democrat, and VIM. S.
Dinen, editor of the Review for the past year,
are implacable enemies, and their continuance in
theiE respective positions could not longer be toll
Grated by those members of the party desiring
harmony. By the consolidation, these two men
are relieved from party leadership, and the man
ayers hope that the warning factions of the party
represented by the two papers will now coalesce.
In the consolidation the offices were valued at
high figures-tho Democrat $1,000 and the Re
view Sc, 500. The presses and printing material
of the Review have been sold to the proprietors
of the new Democratic paper to be published at
