Politically, Democracy takes the belt for claiming and insisting that it has a thing it has not. A tew weeks ago it was slated on good authority by many Republican newspapers, that W. C. De Pauw and Son 6, ot New Albany, with several of their Democratic workman, had abaudoimd the Democracy and would vole llio Republican ticket, where upon Democratic sheets pronounced the statement a fabrication.

The following telegram ..to the Inter Ocean is significant, and ill us trates the extremes to which Democrats will resort to bolßtcr up their rapidly sinking cause: , South Bend", Indiana, September 22.—The Democratic papers all over the Stale have either been claiming that the lion.

Please write me the facts about your position in this matter; and I would be glad if you wonld consent that such information should be made public, or at least that I may have permission to show the same to my friends.

Very truly yours,
