Governor-Elect Afellette.

MUNCIE, Feb. S.-Hon. A. G. Mellette, Gov
ernor-elect of Dakota, arrived at Muncic on
Saturday, on his way home from Washington
Mr.. Melletts was at one time a prominent citi-
zen of this place; indeed, he was the recognized
leader Of the Republican party in this county.
He was for many years editor and proprietor of
the Muncie Times. and represented this county
in the State legislature in 1873 where he was
recognized as a leader in the House,
and as man of rare ability, of strong coEvic-
TONS with the courage to promulgate and de-
fend them. He went to Dakota few years ago,
where he has rapidly grown in popular favor,
and now holds the first place among the people
of his adopted State. He does not think the
Democrats of the House can afford to defeat the
bill for admitting Dakota as q State, as the
question would become a dangerous issue to
them in the next campaign. He will leave for
his home to-day.

TWO VIEWS OF THE MATTER.
A Mugwump and Straight Democratic
Opinion of Removals from Office.
THE PRESIDENTS REMOVALS.

Boston Herald.
1t appeared by official record on Dec. IS, that
the President had removed 643 officials, divided
among the departments as follows State, 80;
Treasury. l6o; Postoofice.- 266; Interior

he observed that the President has not removed
one in six. In short the number of changes has
been less than have frequently been made under
a new President of the same party as his prede-
eessor. And yet an organ like the Philadelphia
Press talks about thousands of men turned
peremptorily out of Office in the middle of their
terms The Democrats, on the other hand, are
mad because the removals have been so few.

There are very few who appreciate the rapid

making minor appointments in all cases
where they have the right of removal and ap-
pontment, and, altogether, it is certain fully
ne-quarter of the entire civil service will be in
Democratic hands by the 4th day of next

It is computed that decapitation has gone on

'His Soul Goes Marching On"

MOVIE.
Referring to the poem on "John Brown. read
by the Hon. Eugene Ware before the Kansas
Press Association, the Atlanta Constitution
says: Every man of common sense and com
mon honesty knows that old man Brown was
simply compound of horse-thief, rufian and
crank. He was born to be hanged, and his exc
cution will always be justified and applauded in
every civilized country under the sun"
Yet where you find believers in John Brown
and the glory Of his martyrdom you find the in
teligence and progress of the country; you find
free schools, free ballot and free literature; you
find energy and prosperity. On the other hand,
does not the curse of God seem to rest, and will
1t not always rest, upon the people who so
dearly love to anathenatize the memory of the
grand old man who struck the first blow at the
hldeous iniquity Of American slavery2

Henning Sentenced To Be Hanged.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Feb. 8.-This morning at 9
o'clock Judge Snyder requested that John G.
Henning be brought to the courtroom. In a
few minutes Henning was present, and the
Judge proceeded to pronounce sentence of death,
according to the verdict of the jury. Henning
was asked if he had anything to say against
sentence being pronounced, and he answered.
Not word" Then the Judge fixed Thursday,
May q. as the day upon which he should be
hanged. Henning chemed tobacco during the
entire time The Judge was talking, and had the
istic feature during his trial. The scaffold upon
which Coffey was hanged is still standing, and
can be plainly seen from Henning's cell. There
is no prospect of new trial, as there are no
grounds upon which motion can be based.
