This Explains It.

Fort Wayne Sentinel. The position of the Democracy in the present crisis is this: The laws which give a partizhn executive authority to use the army at the polls must be repealed. The laws which stand in the way of an impartial jury must be wiped out. Those provisions which enable ignorant partisans to arrest voters on election day' and wrongfully deprive them of their ballots must be expunged. The Democrats propose to make elections in this country free. But that is not revolutionary. It goes hard with a Republican who has had the public teat down his throat for twenty years to give it up. There is an awful squalling going on in the Senate wing of tne Capitol at Washi..g.ja;

The tax was placed on the tax duplicate for collection. The payment of this tax was resisted and an order restraining the treasurer from collecting it was prayed for. Judge Gould, of Delphi, requested Judge Vinton to heai the argument and render the,decision. The attorneys in the cnac came Lo thio city oom© dciyc oiaco and made the argument. On Thursday of last week Judge Vinton went to Monticello to render the decision, but was taken ill, and a postponement tor one week was agreed to. It was agreed that the final proceedings in the case should be had here. Yesterday JudgeJVinton decided the case in favor of the plaintiff.
