A terrible and danger' ous wound was made, but at last accounts the lad was likely to recover

Mr. Thompson's Reply.

Editors of Union : In accordance with your wishes and mine, I reply to “Conundrums” in last week's Union: In the main I shall vote the Republican ticket. The ballot is a personal privilege.. The Prosecuting Attorney is not a grand jury to procure indictments against individuals. He only advises on matters of law and obeys the dictates of the jury. The Prosecuting Attorney is not Governor of the State, and has no power to remit forfeitures. The Governor remitted one-half of the Keyes forfeiture, and I paid the other half into the treasury. It was right. I would do so again. If re-elected, will look closely to the interest of the school fund, and endeavor to promote peace, good order, and good habits among the people. Very truly your friend,

SIMON P. THOMPSON.

A Card.

Clerk’s Office, Jasper County. Rensselaer, Ind., May 28, 1874. Mr. Wm. M. Barkley: Dear Sir.—ln regard to your enquiry as to the rumor that I was to be Deputy Auditor of this county in the event that Henry A. Barkley, Esq., was to be elected Auditor, I have this to say: Tljat it has no foundation in fact, whatever. Mr. Barkley I have had no conversation at all in regard to his being a candidate, nor have I had any with his friends. Moreover, my term as Clerk does not expire until some six months after the Auditor will enter upon the duties of his office. Justice to myself and all the parties requires that I should make this statement. I am, sir, respectfully,

M ARION L. SPITLER.

A Card.

Rensselaer, Indiana, August loth, 1874. To Whom It may Concern: Owing to the fact that a report has been, and is now being, circulated to the effect that in case of the ejection to the Auditor’s office of Henry A. Barkley, the People’s nominee, that I am to perform the duties of that office by agreement between Mr. Barkley and myself, I desire to make this statement : I denounce the report as being utterly false. Mr. Barkley and myself have not now, nor did we ever have, any arrangement whereby I am to take charge of the office in the event of Mr. Barkley’s election; neither did I ever offer to him, nor he to me, to make any such arrangement. I denounce the report as an electioneering scheme, invented by designing, would-be politicians, for 4he purpose, if jiossibhm-of-defeating Mr. Barkley. Respectfu 11 y,

Mr. Martin Withdraws.

Editors Union : Permit-me to say to the voters of the 30th Judicial -Circuit that I am no Umger a candidate lor the office of Prosecuting Attorney. If any explanation of this action is necessary, it is, perhaps, sufficient to say that my consent to become such in the first instance was only at the urgent solicitation of numerous friends, and ee.rfaiulv,_iml. '._Ln the belief that I should be one of five contesting for a position so little to be desired. In view of the fact that no party nominations have been made, and with the pn>?; r! • umber of-a. \ bants ic .Jit; fie..l, ii.c coutest assumes a char-, liefer distasteful to me, and in which I have neither the time nor inclination to engage. To those who have interested themselves in my behalf I return my earnest thanks, trusting that the reasons assigned l'or this action may >< cm sufficient to them as they Jiav/' seemeil to me, ■* IvespeetfuHy,
