They Are After the Barrel.

Two prominent Democrats from Jasper county came to our city yesterday morning, and w hile waiting tor a train for Indianapolis, proceeded to get just tolerably talkative drunk. They knew that they were Democrats, and from the way all hands took their nip, the fellows supposed that the entire party were Democrats, and that being the case the gentlemen from J asper proceedgive themselves away badly. They stated, fully and freely, that their mission to Indianapolis was to get $2,000 for the purpose of corruptingeleclion boards, and stuffing the baliott boxes in the counties of Jasper and Newton. The principal object was to defeat the Republican candidate for Congress in the 10th District. If the money can be had it will be used on election day. Lafayette Journal. Yes, the gentlemen referred to started for Kentland, instead of Indianapolis. and brought up in Lafayette; and instead of being Democrats they are “stalwarts”of the most stalwart kind. They set the job up fine, but not so fine that the true inwardness of i : could not be readily exposed. The titbit ffrepAred by the Journal for consumption in Jaspej county was spoiled through the inefficiency of Gorkins, the home cook.
