Judge Dykeman’S Opinion.

What an Imminent and Honorable Democrat thinks of his Party’s Candidate for Governor. Correspondence of tlie Indianapolis Journal. Logansuort, Sept. 19.—Your correspondent interviewed Judge Dykeman on the Gray question with the lollowing result: “Judge, did you see the item in the Chicago papers to-day relative to the probable withdrawal of Isaac P. Gray?” ~ “No, I didn’t. Don’t talk to me about Gray. You can't tell me anything new about him. Ha is the fraud in Indiana. Why, do you know that Shoemaker, of the Sentinel* came to me just before the State convention and said to me, ‘Dyke-man, you must come to the convention aDd beat Gray: wo can’t afford to carry him in this campaign. You beat him once in the convention and you must do it again'. 1 saii: to him, ‘John, just let them go ah end and no min ale him, and we w ill beat-him like this fall, and get fid of hint forever,’ and 1 refused to go to the convention. L affl Just as good a Democrat as there is in Cass county, but they can't matte me swallow such a- load as Gray.’’ It will thus be seen that tho path of the Know-nothing president of a defunct gravo-yard insurance company is not altogether smooth in this Democratic stronghold.
