EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: find the
following in your issue of llth instant:
1.-THE number Of votes in the late Democratic
congressional convention in the indianapolis
district of Indiana was 1l0, requiring 80 votes
to nominate. Seventy-eight OF the delegates
published n formal statement over their own
signatures, that none of them supported the
nomination Of William d. Bynum, and that he
is not the regular nominee OF the party"

above may create, that was not fairly MONT.
mated. OF the ll9 votes in the convention 1
received 7bT. of the delegates signing the
statement alluded to- "a had but half vote
each, which reduces the vote represented TO
GO, and OF this number 10 persons who signed
the same were never elected delegates to the
convention and were not admitted as such,
which leaves but "a votes, as against IS, in my
favor. OF those who voted against me and
signing the statement 2 were instructed by
their township conventions TO cast their votes
for me, and 4 publicly pledged themselves to
DO so before they could be elected. After the
boilers had left the convention the delegates
remaining In the convention from each ward
and township cast the full vote of same, which
will account for excess of votes In regular con-
vention over the number of delegates Re-

THE clergy of Portland, Me-, request the

This Is evidently piece OF libelous mis-

Dow. As mayor Of that city-or chief OF

ago Neal Dow had the liquor barrels rolled
into the street and their heads stove in.
Prohibition has reigned there and Dow has
lived there ever since that time. 1t cannot be
that there are saloons in Portland When

THE Rhode Islanders of to-day are not un.

Yes, II is mighty mean business, but It is

REFERRING to the rumored probability OF
the governor of Missouri taking a wife,
the GlOJe-DemOcrat says: "We hope there
isn't a woman In the state who would hu.
initiate herself by marrying a man who
holds his Office by a majority of only All
votesn Thereupon the Illinois STATE Jour
nal remarks:
II we are to so into such calculations at all,
why is 1t not more humiliatIng to marry a
President who holds his office by Lilo votes
than to marry the executive of state who
holds his by AZ? Something must be allowed
for the comparative dignity of the positions.
There may be question, indeed, whether any
woman would want to marry bachelor gov
ernor of Missouri no matter what his majority.
1t is true that Mr.. Cleveland owes his
election to 575 Mugwumps who would have
defeated him had they voted for the nom
inee of the party whose "best element''
they professed to be. But the main fact is
that Mr.. Cleveland, like the governor of
Missouri, "got thar" The tenure Is Just
as strong in either case as If there had been
no opposition.
