Watson-Johnson Campaign Ends.

Newcastle, Ind., April 1. —The remarkable campaign between Congressmen Johnson and Watson came to an end here Tuesday night. Today the republicans of this county will hold a primary election and the candidate who receives the most votes will receive the thiry-six votes this county will cast in the convention and will be nominated. Mr. Johnson’s leaders figured their candidate a majority of fifty-seven votes for the entire county, giving Mr. Watson the benefit of very doubt.
