WHEN VOTERS MUST REGISTER.

Under the new law a voter must register at the county clerk’s office three months before the election; 1.

If, having been a resident of Indiana, he ha gone into another state with the intention of voting there. 4. If* he has not been a bona fide resident of the county m which he resides for at least six months before the election. (This latter provision is one of great importance, as heretofore the law only < required a residence of 6 months *n the state, 60 days in the towns ship and 3o days in the preoinct.) Persons *wb<p have registered should take fibeir certificate of registration to the pods with them, as they cannot vote it challenge*! without producing it. The above/ :< regi tration need not be made, if’ prior to leaving the state, the person files with the dark a uotice of his intention to hold his residence in Indiana. Remember, after the 4th of Aus gust, (next month), will be too late. Don’t put it off. ■■ ■ «•» ■ ——■- Clothing at one-half price, to make room for fall stock.

At one time the Major was the ideal of the thirteenth district. In his own coun’yof LaPortehis own party worshipped him and hts hold upon a large portion of the Demr cratic vote was truly astonishing and ex asperating to the Democracy. He had ability, an excellent physique, was a good-looker, and a king among politicians in general. Everybody liked “Bill” Dakins, and he was generally counted as one of the best of fellows, which he was in every respect. His popularity kept him in congress term after term, being twice elected in a Democratic district. However, his triumphant march of victory suffered a sudden collapse in 1884, when he foolishly sought a nomi** nation for governor, and met defeat at the hands of Governor Gray, and from that time dates his failure as a politician. His long career in congress had ruined his once large law practice, and, like hundreds of other congressmen, had in fact unfitted him for the practice of his profession in Indianapolis, with only indifferent success. When Harrison became president he was appointed asso ciate justice in the United States Court of Washington territory, which he lost when Washington became a state, and only lust week a speck 1 from Washington City stated that he was at the capital, looking for another appointment. And this is politics.
