Strange rumors arc anoat at Washington a.d
in the eastern cities concerning Capt. Tyler and
the guard. II is asserted that the who!o Office
holding squad, with Tyler a, their head, are about
to abandon their hopeless effort TO raise third
party, aud are going over in body to Clay. The
Richmond Enquirer says of the report, "incrcdi.
bic as such a Umcr is, it is getting into circulation
among the whgs;' and owe do not speak lightly
when we say that one Of Mr.. FLYERS own friends
has lent some couutcmance to the rumor." The
Enquirer also calls on the Madisonian to contra
die, the report, il not true, and says, Ave do not,
ask this for ourselves, but for tho sake Of Mr.. Ty
Ter himself-ior the sake OF oil ,ha! is dgniiied in
public life and for tho sake of public morals.
For, We do say His; that if, after all that has
passed bc,ween the wings and Mr. Tyler-afer
al the foul abuse which Mr.. Clay and all the
wings, and all the wing presses have cmptied from
their OVERLOOKING urns Of wrath upon his devoted
head--aftcr all the srorn which he has met with
from that party-aijer he has been repealed with
an ianominy battling all description, by Mr. Clay
with them, and they with him, and form a more
monstrous combination than any which Horace
himself ever described in his cart Of Poetry or
which the Imagination Of the novelist ever con-
cciycd, or coalition more disgusting than any
diplomatic politician ever dared 10 project, there
is no lower bathos Of dcgration to which he or
they can hereafter descend Yet low as 1t would
be, we believe Tyler capable Of ainklug to II. IT,
as president, he has not heoilated to bestow the
patronage of the government with view 10
the formation of third party, and, failing in that
to divide and break down tho democratic party,
surely he would not stop to enter into any coaIl-
ton, however degrading, if by that means he
could crafty his ambition or spleen. Well, let
him 90 10 the whigs-hc is their Legitimate pro-
pcriy and it gives US grca; pleasure to be enabled
to congratulate them on this new accession to

The SLATE Bank Of rn,,iaun---Acni,,


We received by yesterday mail the following
letter from Maj. Dunn, late a cashier ofone of the
branches of the State Bank of Indiana. The let
ter will speak for itself Ofthe ro,tenness Of the
bank, we have long been well assured-and tina,
1t will sooner or later explode, and leave thousands
OF It's worthless promises scattered in every direc-
ton over four or five states, is fact forcshadowcl
with too much force to admit of doubt. The very
matter OF sending an agent hither with gold and
exchange to redeem notes. is, of itself, strong
premontory symptom of a collapse, if we may
draw conclusions of the present from the history
Of the past.
ISnrAYAroLIs, December 2Sth, 1918
10 Ire Editor crHe MsSoHjen,
Sir.--I have just learned that the Bank
here has started Off Il runner to your CITY,
with n small amount of exchange and
gold, to try and keep up the credit of
the State Bank Of Indiana rumor having
reached here that its credit was of doubt
full character in your region of country.
|, sir, have been a Cashier in one Of its
branches, and am well acquainted with its
true situation. am also Editor of the
Political Beacon, in which appeared the
first article charging this Bank with being
rotten. still say it is, and any man at
all acquainted with Bank reports can take
the one made this week to the Legislature
here, and see that this State Bank cannot
redeem, By near one million, lis circula-
ton. Our laws are of such 4 nature as
TO prevent the collection of one dollar in
money, property having to bring It's full
value. The Bank owes to the public
S2,540,000 for circulation, and has one
million Of means 10 take il up. The re-
port which will be in your city shows
that; and it is for the public and you to
say whether she ought to be trusted. |
have deemed it my duty to write you
this, as numerous reports might be circu-
lated by the agent of the Bank, now on
his way to your city, against my STATE
ments made through my paper.
The Bank men here admit that if the
circulation comes home on them, they
must fail. This is evident from their
own report, which, by enquiring, you can
get in your city. You may make such
use of this as you may think proper
What | have said heretofore, and say
now, can prove from their own reports,
and statements, made to the public.
Respectfully,
JOHN p. DUNN.
