The candidates on the Democratic county
ticket seem to have adopted the old motto;
EVERY man for himself There has not been
a disposition to pull together at any time since
the county convention was held, and recently
the fight between the candidates on the ticket
has become more bitter. Osterman. the nomi-

appeals in contested election cases lie TO him,

ground that the Office is not q political one. and
that the Judge should reside in Indianapolis.
Republicans readily understand the tactics Of
the Democrats, and will not be misled.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20-The boarders Of one

coming from the room Of a Western Congress-

was very much intoxicated, in the act Of beating
his wife. They separated the pair and restored
peace, and endeavored to hush ND the matter.
The next morning one Of the barkeepers, who
was making a cocktail for q rery nervous and
very thirsty customer, in a burst of confidence
related the incident, and threw 10 his opinion
that any man who would strike his wife was a
coward and q cur. The cocktail. seeker did not
reply, but he walked to the clerks desk and
made q complaint to the proprietor that the bar
tender had insulted him. The bartender was

Special to the Indiacapoiis JourneA
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE contents and
whereabouts Of the most important communica-
ton from the late President Grant il q matter
OF considerable speculation among some lotteries
of Republicans who happen to know of its ex-
~istsnce. 1t will be q surprise to many to learn
that just previous to the Chicago convention OF
1880. General Grant, feeling that he could not
be renominsted, wrote a letter authorizing the
withdrawal of his name as q candidate. That
letter was iptrusted into the hands of John
Russell Young. now the editor Of the New York
Herald. Mr.. Young was directed by General
Grant TO proceed from Galeua to the East. and
to submit the letter to John A. Logan, Roscoe
Conkiing and Don Cameron. 1t is known that
this letter was seen by all three of these parties.
Conklipe and Logan maintained that it eveutu-
ally passed into the hands of Cameron. When
Senator Cameron was questioned about tho
matter he acknowledged that such q letter had
been written, but denied its possession. He
also declined to state its contents. saying that
some time the communication might speak for
itself.
