Gen. Tom Browne, who ran against Goveruor Hendrick in 1872. has been interviewed about the political outlook in Indiaua, and gives the following as his deliber. te conclusions: “So far as Indiaua is involved the Democracy will elect their ticket by an overwhelming majority, and will have a majority in each branch of the legislature, securing the return of Dan Voorhees to the United States Senate. We republicans may elect three members of Congress, but, in all probability, will not secure even two. In the next national house of represen tatives the democracy will have a larger majority than they had two years ago, and, with a democratic Senate, which is already assured, in 1879, they 3 *will have complete control of the legislative department of the government. About that time President Hayes will wish he had never been born. Success in 1878 insures succes in 1880, when they will control the government in all branches but the judiciary."—Fowlex Democrat A party of gentlemen were in the city a few days since examining the tow-path of the canal, in view of the construction, of a line of railroad thereon from Toledo to Attica. The line has been examined carefully between the two points named, and the conclusion reached that the road bed could be prepared for the ties at a nominal cost. There is no doubt that the road will be costrueted at an early day.—Delphi Times.
