Mr. Johnson this morning received the con-
gratulations OF friends. and was escorted 10
the depot at $40 o'clock by crowd to say
goodbye as he left for his home In Rich

celebration will be postponed until after the
presidential election this fall, when both
sides as one can celebrate together.

A Watson Man Enters n Protest.
A friend OF James z. Watson, writing
from New Castle, finds fault with some OF
the statements made In the Journals dis
patches from New Castle published yes
terday morning. The principal cause OF
complaint appears to be that the Journal
called attention TO the fact that q SEEM
irigly abnormal vote had been cast In Henry
township, and that the johnson people used
this as a basis for their charge that votes
other than those OF Republicans had been
cast for Watson. The gentleman writing
from New Castle explains that this in
of new manufacturing enterprises The Re
publican vote cast for w. ID. Owen for
that cast in the primary election OF
wednesday was 936. The Journals repre-
sentative while at New Castle. I'm casting
vote, suggested the new factories, but was
informed that the working forces In these
factories had been recruited almost entire
ly from former residents OF the city. In
the complaint filed against the Journals

ing the instructions OF the county conven-
ton Is unjust and unfounded. An afndavit
is also inclosed showing that the inmates
