PHILADELPHIA Record: In the sanguine view
ofsome Of the Prohibitionists they may be able
TO throw the election for President into the

the House must be confined to the two highest
candidates It would be pity to see the bal
lots of intelligent voters thrown away upon an
error

CHICAGO Tribune on Mr. Hendricks: That
this pestiferous, demagogue, who throughout
the war played into the hands Of the
South, and was reported deep in the con
spiracies Of secret Reasonable organizations,
who advised people in Indiana to take
care" of soldiers who came there recruiting or
looking for deserters and to resist the admins
tration, who stigmatized Lincoln as an imbecile
and tyrant should now boast Of being Lincons
friend Is an insult to all loyal men which will
make their toes tingle to come in forcible con
tact with this old Copperheads roar.
