Congressman Bricks Pinch.

The Starke County Democrat says
the fact that Congressman Brick
pinched through in this district by a
beggarly 2o7, while two years ago he
had nearly 1000, has caused the cold
sweat to battle the marble brows of
Mr.. Brick and other congressman.
They profess to believe that the fall
ing off in their vote was because their
names were on the local or county
ballot, and that they suffered from
fights against local candidates. They
are so badly frightened that they are
demanding that hereafter the names
of candidates for congress be placed
on the state ballot. That is perhaps
as good an explanation as any except
the true one why they lost votes. The
real reason IS that the people were
opposed to them personally and
wanted them defeated, and they
would have found their names and
scratched them no matter on what
ballot they had been placed

An answer was filed yesterday by the
attorneys for defendant, in the case Of

for damages in the sum OF 5000. The
answer alleges that the defendant acted
without malice or deliberate intent OF
injury, and wholly upon the natural and
compulsory basis of self.defense; that
he was provoked, insulted and threat
ened by the plaintiff before he made
any attempt to defend his person, and
only used his hands upon the plaintiff
when it became necessary to protect
himself from the evident purpose OF
plaintiff to do him bodily injury, and
then he used circumspection and used
his fists only enough to estop the prose
cution Of plaintiffs avowed and deter
mined purpose.
The court will resume business at the
"old, old stand" this morning at the
usual hour.
