Hatch’* Majority... 2s-L,,’, This is the largest majority ever given in the district since the Republican party was organized; and it has “Morton lor U. S. Senator” speaking from every figure. The latest reports we have received confirm the —election of Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks Governor by nearly 1,000 majority. It is also thought that Hon. Milton I>. Hop kins is elected Superintendent, of Public Instruction. Of the latter we arc free to say that he has shown himself to be the best man for that position Indiana has yet produced. His election is the just tribute of a discriminating public to an honorable, efficient and every way good-officer. Although wc did not vote for him, we are truly glad of his re-election. i Hon. Geo. A. Netherton, Republican candidate for Joint Representative in the Legislature from the counties of Stark and Laporte •-was defeated by Dr. Glazebrook. While this result may li'ot be of present benefit to our. party the reputation of our State and of the people who compose his constituents are undoubted gainers, for w.e do not know where to go to find ah individual who had command of more words and fewer ideas. His garrulity was greater than that of any tea d:inking old granny’s, and his barrenness of sense, if possible, exceeded bisigarrulity.
