AN Irishman writes THE SENTINEL from
Richmond: / see by to-day's paper that the
republican mayor is adopting the English
method used in Ireland to Suppress political
meetings by announcing an opposition meet

cannot use English laws in this country ii they
can get Lord West TO try help them elect Har-
rison.

coffee, tea, tobacco and cigars. Wheat, pork

JIM. DREMoRE, SwITz CITY, INp.: If the
man left Indiana eleven months ago with the
intention of residing in Illinois he cannot come
back and vote in this state, even il he is a
widower and left some OF his children at his
former home. The supreme court has decided
that the intention of a man determines his
home and not where ne gets his washing done
or keeps his dog. If he moves out OF the state
or precinct he loses his vote, even by retain
ing part of his family and furniture in the old
home.
A. N.HIGGIYs, WAYNETowY,IN md: Congress
man Jim Johnston has made quite a reputation
as q political prevoricator, but in view OF the
fact that the Congressional Record is accessible
in every congressional district in the state, he
must take the soldiers for fools TO tell them
that he was the author of the bill increasing the
widows pensions from IS to So per month.
