POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.

THE Oregon Democratic State convention in
structed for Tilden and Hendricks
THE Hon. Arson Walcott, of White county,
Tenth district. is candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congress.
| MADISON Courier: Glenn Studebal1er the
great wagon manufacturer of South Bend, is
identified with both the agricultural and manu-
featuring classes, and would make an excellent
| Governor for Indiana.
KoKoMo Gazette: Newton Harding is a bright
young lawyer, thorough Republican and amost
congenial and sociable gentleman. He will
! honor the circuit that has nominated him. His
election is beyond peradventure.
! MUNCIE News: Az the people require of the
Chicago convention is the nomination of a rep
resentative Republican and should he come
| from the East or from the West, he will receive
! the hearty and undivided support of the entire
! party, and will be triumphantly elected.
BOURBON Mirror: The Plymouth Democrat
announces that it is ready to boom c. H. Reeve
either for the nomination for Lieutenant govern
or, Congress or the iudgeship. This on parallel
| with the woman who went to the woods to pray
! for a husband, and on hearing an owl utter ''hoo
! hoo" answered, Anybody Lord, anybody Lord!'
A PERSON who interviewed an alleged pres-
Dental candidate in the West prefaces his report
with the observation, ''The conversation was
characterized by brevity.n 1t seems that at the
beginning of his first question he was interrupted
| by the alleged candidate, who put on 'an en-
gaging smile" and cordially opened the door to
| permit his visitor to depart"
In an interview by Bloomington Leader re-
porter with Gen. John McNulta, a personal
friend of ex-senator David Davis, Gen. McNulta
said that Mr.. Davis would not affiliate with the
| Republicans at the national convention in Chi
| cago and would not lead the Illinois delegation,
| even if the position be offered him. Gen. Nc
Nulta said he had authority for making the
| statement
| CAPT. VIM NJ. EKIN, son of Gen. James
Ekin, was elected at Nashville as one of the del
egates to the Republican national convention at
Chicago. Capt. Ekin is for Blaine first last
and all the time. Gen Ekn was delegate to
! the National Republican convention at Chicago
IN 1860, and was one of two delegates from
| Pennsylvania who supported Abraham Lincoln
from the start. This son follows his fathers eX-
! ample.
THE Hendricks County Republican very
warmly and properly indorses the nomination of
Hon. John V. Hadley for State senator 1t says
Mr. Hadley's personal popularity has always
been power, and will bring out big vote in his
favor at the coming election. His record is that
| of quiet transformations and industrious citizen
always found true to his country, and a faithful
and conscientious worker in the rank and file of
the Republican party
Mr.. STEALEY says in the Courier-Journal
''Klener will be renominated in the First dis
trict Cobb in the Second, Holman in the Fourth
Matson in the Fifth, English in the Seventh
Ward in the Ninth, Wood in the Tenth and
Lowry in the Twelfth General Manson. if he
will permit it, will be nominated in the Eighth
district, now represented by Lamb and the race
! in the Third district indicates that Howard, of
Jefersonville, will beat Stockslager, the present
incumbent Stockslager got into Congress on
the strength of opposing Judge Bicknell for a
| third term, and being a candidate himself for
third term, now is likely to have to swallow
some medicine he once administered"
The Brazil Register, in noticing the cand-
acy of Major R. S Hill for Treasurer of Safe, says
mo candidate on the Republican ticket in the
last campaign inspired more enthusiasm ran
better. Among the first to enlist in defense
of the Union-he enlisted April 81, 186l-and
among the last to return home-he lost limb at
Fort Tyler, April 16, 1865; serving as a private
and an officer, he represents well the soldier ele
ment; but rare business endowments in connec-
| ton with untarnished reputation and ncorrupt
ible integrity. commend him as one around
whom all good citizens can rally and in whom
! they can repose utmost trust. With such stand
ard bearers the Republican party in Indiana
| will win"
