This Congressional District is considered debatable ground. Voorhees and Turpie will canvass it. The Republican State Central Committee the other day assessed their candidate for Treasurer of State, George W. Pixley, $3,000 for campaign purposes. In one of his letters to Judge Woods, ex-Senator McDonald, after quoting from the two charges to the grand jury, said: I will have to leave to you the task of reconciling these two positions, for I find it more than I can do. Judge V oods can t do it either, try as he may. *■•-■■■" <■ -♦ i OMi —ib - - - County Commissioners should give notice of the boundaries of the precincts and of the votinglplaces therein, in the manner provided for in sec. 2 of the statute, by at least one publication in one democratic and one republican newspaper at least one month before the election, and by posting notices thereof in four of the most public places in each precinct. This duly is important and should not be neglected. Local democratic committees should call the attention of the county boards to the matter. Valparaiso Messenger: The Vidette makes the amende honorable to Dr. David H. Patton, Democratic candidate for Congress, in the following: “In reply to the query made by the Vidette concerning the standing of Dr. Patton in the army, an ex-soldier of this city states that he enlisted as a corporal in company H, 38th Indiana infantry: that he was promoted to a lieutenancy; then as captain of the company; then to the lieutenant colonelcy, and finally made colonel of the regiment.— This is certainly a good record, one any man may feel proud of, and one, too, which few men can of.” Thanks, 8.0. Culley; you are “a gentleman and a s hoiar. Dr. Patton, M. C., “dofis" his hat.

Govar; or Hovey was assessed $3,000 by tL Republican campaign managers of In-uana in 1888 for election purposes. He klt ked in the traces. At the recent meettog of the Board of Election Commissioners, in Indianapolis, he expreesed the heartiest approval of the new Democratic election law and the penalties provided therein, and proposed issuing a proclamation to the voters of the State recommending to them the advisability of voting for the candidates of their choice regaidless of all propositions from corrupt persons who may offer money for their franchises. He proposes to enforce the law of March 9, 1889, against vote-buying. Governor jHovey wants an honest election. The people want an honest election. Corruption in our elections must be squelched. □Political morality must be at a low ebb in Pennsylvania. General Hastings, one of the most prominent Republican politicians in that State, at the late Quay-Del-amater meeting at Pittsburgh, declared: “That if it were true that a Republican leader was a thief,” said he, “he would still consider him better than the best Democrat. Our Billy Owen is on about the same level, he can declare with ministerial unction that they, his Republican supporters, “wouldbury the Democrats so deep, face down, that the harder they scratched the sooner they would raach home." He evidently thinks hell is the legitimate abiding place—or should beef all who oppose the political aspirations of Rev. Wm. D. Owen.

The Democratic State Covention was composed of a very large body of intelligent, representative men from all ove the State of Indiana. The Convention in unmistakeable terms denounced the official conduct of Judge Woods in the Dudley trial. It seems to smart the partisan jurist, as he comes out in a long and clumsy defense. The Indianapolis Sentinel scores him. The Indianapolis News, a republican paper, says, “Judge Woods has made a mistake. It will ne difficult to convince the average man that the second charge was not a contradiction of the first “One thing that we regret to note as doing Judge Woods no credit, is his confession both in this letter and in his letter to Harlan, that he was ready to surrender this matured opinion if Harlan toid him to. He has demonstrated how he held thi s opinion before the grand jury was impaneled. Tat he tells us that he was ready to throw it overboard if a higher judge—ff the satrapy of the judiciary, so to I speak—should tell him to.
