AFTER THE WAR.

After the war Gen. Gresham re-
sumed the practice Of his profession
with marked success. The republican
party. however, claimed his services
and he was pltted against Michael q.
Kerr for congress. Kerr was the most
popular democrat that ever lived in
Indiana, and u remarkably able and
pure man. Nevertheless. Gresham
came so near defeating him that the
Democratic legislature next year
added two heavy Democratic counties
to Berr's district. In 1868 he again
contested the suffrsges OF the district
with Kerr and his popularity was 20
great that the political wisdom Of the
demooratsin the Legislature was amply
