The Louisiana State election the other day resulted in a Democratic majority of about 40,000. — Break the news gently to ’Lize Pinkston’s friend, John Sherman, of Ohio. ■— «... . - From Bro. Marshal’s admissions we take it that Baker & Thornton of Indianapolis, are misleading him. On the aggregate vote cast in the State for Trustees Indiana gave a Democratic majority of 10,000.

The convention last Saturday appointed James Pefley, Ira W Yeoman, W. C. McCord and V. E’ Loughridg j delegates to rhe State Convention; a*d Jas. W. McEwen, M. J. Castello D W. Shields, D. W. Mellon, Geo. H. Brown, Jr., Jay Lamson, A. J. Freeland and Joel F. Spriggs Congressional delegates.

Our Republican friends say that their occupancy of the Court House, last Saturday, when a Democratic Convention was called to meet tnere, occurred through mistake, and was not intentional on their part. The Democrats found it necessary to meet in another room, and a number were deprived of participation in the proceedings b the change in the meeting. Our neighbor says, ‘Turpie was a of the South when she needed friends,” etc. As George voices these sentiments autom itically, we add, for his information that Judge Turpie was and is e ually the friend of the North East and West. He embraces the Union in Ps entirety. There’s where shoe pinches such partisans ac cur neighbor, who are continually terrorized at the prospect of the “solid south.”

The grandest supper and £ entertainment at tlie Opera House, Friday evenig, April 27.

Rensselaer Republican: It was certainly consistent for the Democrats ot the U. S. Senate to put David Turpie forward to oppose the admission of Dakota into the Union, f.r the reason that she would be a Republican state, and send two Republicans to the U. S. Senate.

Presactly, George. Not another man in that body coukl so scientifically probe and expose the disinterested? motive at the bottom of the Renublica,. movement to secure the admission of that territory. Our neighbor, in attributing a motive to Judge Turpie. explains the only object the Republicans have in urging ■ dmission, it: Two Republican Senators—and ‘ y making two states—four. .lust now the repulican control of the Senate is held by‘very slight tenure.

Je ry Healy would make a ital Town Clerk. Abe (Shorty) Simpsen is being pressed by many friends for the Democratic nomination for Town Marshal. We frequently beer the name of Tom. A. Crockett, of this (Manon) township, favorably mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination for Sheriff of Jasper county Tom is an old soldier boy, well qualified for the position, and if nominated and elected would no doubt give very general satisfaction. ■ ■—

Our Billy Owen, either has a reporter continually on his wake or immediately hunts one up and j-elatec such of his exploits as he desires to have spread before the public. His latest exploit was in presenting a bold front co Oates, of Alabama, who so succes .fully ‘deadlocked’ the House recently, and demanded to know when it would end, at the same time giving him to understand that if it was simply a question of endurance, he was sufficiently robust to endure to the bitter end. This, for Billy, was a ery deed, and considered of sufficient importance to telegraph it to his constituents.
