He was a gallant soldier, a life-long Republican, and until within the past year followed the trade of briok-laying. Haviug to an extent been deprived of his eye-sight by reason of exposure in the army, he is uuable to lay brick any longer, but he will make a model Sheriff tor Monroe county all the same. James T. Robertson was born and raised on a farm just north ol Bloomiugton and went into the array. Afterwards he hecatne a citizen f Ellettsville, in which town ho sti'l resides.

The entire ticket is composed of solid representative men. 11 is such a ticket as will give the Democrats much trouble to me-fch next Saturday. The convention was good uaturcd, harmonious aud determined.
