Sweeny and Kogan about forming a militia company in Indianapolis. The administrator of the estate of John G. F. Brown, the recently murdered man, discovered about $600 worth of silks, em- broideries und laces secreted about the Brown premises. As the Browns have long been ßuspected of bavin? sticky fin- gers, this seems to be conclusive evidence. Capt. W. II. Woods arrived home from Washington last Monday night. The cap- tain was called before the Voorhees com-nvtte- e, but after Dan pumped for awhile he found that he could get nothing but thv truth from Mr. Woods,ao he loosed him ahd let him go.

Mr. Laucaster has been a resident ol Marion county Lr twelve years, and ia a Republican of the purest type. He was ia the army four years, and was promoted from a private to the rank of captain. If he should be nominated, it will be a merited reward. We have heard remarked several times that no colored man would be nominated on the legislative ticket, because there are too many men in the fit-I- Now this is all non-enf- e. Let the convention judge as to the best and most available man in the list, and place him on the ticket. This will s tisfy the cdoml people.

Mr. II. C. Parker will, in the future, beour Terre Haute correspondent.

Mrs. Hart, the wife of the veteran muaician has been seriously indisposed for sometime. Her many friends will be glad toknow that the h recovering slowly.

Where large sales are made daily is theplace to set bargains. The old reliableBates house shoe store is sach a place; andmoney is always saved and satisfactiongiven by buying goods at their store.

The Excelsior Dancing Club will jivetheir second party on the evening ofWednesday, the 29th inst Extensive pre-parations are being marfe by the Club, andno doubt the party will be a brilliant af-

fair.From present indications it is reasonable

to suppose that Sheriff Pressly will a thirdtime be allowed to indulge in the verypleasant pastime of breaking necks. Well,a little of it now and then will do oarmoral atmosphere good.

The Voorhees committee should inves-tigate the firm of Clos-- i & Waspon immediately. They have moved their store toLouisville, and are guilty of enticing anIndiana colored man to leave thvi city andtake up hi abode upon Kentucky soil.

And still they go! Messrs. Amos Tolk.George Washington, Charles Carico andThomas Watt have donned the govern-ment blue, and will go to fight "Uncle's"battles. They left for Columbus, Ohio,last night, and from there will probablygo to Texas.

Col. Berzey, of St. Louis, Maj. Hubbard,of Chicago, and Capt K. Brown, of Colum-

bus, arrived at noon yesterday, en routefor their homes from the Columbus conven-tion, and stopped over to consult withMessrs. Sweeny and Kogan about forminga militia company in Indianapolis.

The administrator of the estate of JohnG. F. Brown, the recently murdered man,discovered about $600 worth of silks, em-

broideries und laces secreted about theBrown premises. As the Browns havelong been ßuspected of bavin? sticky fin-

gers, this seems to be conclusive evidence.

Capt. W. II. Woods arrived home fromWashington last Monday night. The cap-

tain was called before the Voorhees com-nvtte- e,

but after Dan pumped for awhilehe found that he could get nothing butthv truth from Mr. Woods,ao he loosed himahd let him go. Mr. Wods met many of

the stalwarts while in Washiogton and en-

joyed his trip very much.

Elder Holliday's "jug breaking" affairwill take place next Thursday and Fridayevening?, at Wesley's hall, Indiana ave-

nue. The admission to the hall will be15 cents for adults, or two tickets for 25

cents, children 10 cents Good speakersw;U be in attendance, and no pains willbe spared by the committee to make it anenjoyable affair. The public generally areinvited to attend.

lis Colored Republican club was held inthe Criminal court room last Mondayevening. A goodly number of cuizenswere in attendance. Speeches were de-

livered by Messrs. Christy, Outland, Har-

rison, Winyard and Bagby. We under-

paign and are preparing to meet it with abold front.

Political Notes.

D. W. Grubbs stems to be gainingground in the race for sheriff. Dan hasdune a hard work for the party in thiscounty; and, if nominated, will roll up a-b-ig

Republican majority.In another place will le found a brief

sketch of George F. Bran-ha- m,

who is now be'ore the people as acandidate for Sherifi. Mr. Hranham hasan illustrious soldier record, and will be apower before the convention.

Geo. W. Lancaster, of Wa?hirgton town-ship, has announced himself as a candi-date for county recorder. Mr. Laucasterhas been a resident ol Marion county Lrtwelve years, and ia a Republican of thepurest type. He was ia the army fouryears, and was promoted from a privateto the rank of captain. If he should benominated, it will be a merited reward.

We have heard remarked several timesthat no colored man would be nominatedon the legislative ticket, because there aretoo many men in the fit-I- Now this isall non-enf- e. Let the convention judgeas to the best and most available man inthe list, and place him on the ticket. Thiswill s tisfy the cdoml people. The aspi-rants are well known to t je voters of Ma-rion count v. It will not take long for therepresentatives of the people in the con-vention assembled to decide upon thetimber to be selected and that to be re-

jected.
