A Vote for Dwiggins is a Half Vote for Gray.

Monticello Herald. It is safe to say that li. S. Dwiggins will not be elected governor of Indiana, and probably no one realizes this fact more vividly than ilr. Dwiggins him self. What then does he expect to accomplish in his hopeless candidacy? He is aware that political history records the fact that votes cast for a. temperance ticket have been usually those of republicans and the only benefit has accrued to the democratic party. The whisky league has never faltered in its support of the democratic party, because it has always found in that party a staunch friend and supporter. Whenever Mr. Dwiggins finds a man who is going to vote for him this fali, he can console himself with the fact that he hits secured a half vote for Col. Gray. This of course will be consoling to Mr. Dwiggins if he is trying to aid in the success of the democratic party.
