Correspondence.

Coaplin*entaryto Mr; Dontklt' Editor Sentinel : I hear the name of J. W. Douthit mentioned in connection with the office »f Prosecuting Attorney. Let me say that there is, in my mind, no better man in the District than J. W. Douthit. I have had excellent opportunities of discovering his merits. He is a gentleman. He is a scholar. And I dare say, if you chance to look into his law office, when all else have retired to slumber J. W. Douthit will be found at his book 9. Were lin Indiana as I am in Nebraska, he should have not only my vote, but my warmest support J. L. Makeevfr. Prof. Neb. Wesleyan Uuiversity. Morocco, Ind., July 22, 1880. Editor Sentinel : James W. Douthit, E q., of Jasuer county, was nominated at Goodland, Indiana. Tuesday, July 20th, 1880, for Prosecuting Attorney in the 30th Judicial Circuit, This is a meritorious nomination, aud we are glad of it. It gives general satisfaction in this vicinity. He will get a large number of Republican votes in this county. Many of the honest Republicans wko are tired of the “red tape” manner or style in which that office is run at present, and many more who do not approve of the manner in which Mr. Bishopp was nominated will just cut the matter short by voting for Douthit. This office of Prosecutor is not a political office ary more than the Judicial office is nolitical. The Demo orats of this district have twice endorsed Judge Hammond. Why wo’d It not bo proper for ail hands to join

iu and elect Douthit.
