7 HE REPUBLIC.

A SHORT ExPLAEATIoE.-lt is due TO state that /
have not been at Washington since the illness and
death of MI Campbell, late Clerk Of the House; and
also, that the Of my name for the vacancy was
the unprompted effort Of my generous friends in
objection, until l learned that il was resolved TO
hold no con gressiona caucus for the nomination,
when ! promptly withdrew my name. This was
done early on Tuesday morning. and will account
for the fact, that, although yesterday voted for by
some of the Democratic representatives, was not
a candidate before the House.

From The Connsrsuiile (La.) Chronicle.
The Sfate of Indiana

Fifty years ago the vast body Of land now en-
braced within the boundaries Of the Hoosier State
one deep and almost impenetrable forest The
red mans yell heard upon our hill tops and in
valleys; his light canoe glided up and down
our svcry streams; his rude wigwam occupied
the borders OF our prairies; all this vast domain
one magnificent scene Of wild and savage
beauty, ere yet the pioneers heard 10 echo
through the deep solitude an half century ago
Fifty years what change has taken place in our
State within that period. The forests have fallen
before the woodman's axe. Where once nought
visible save the wide stretching prairie, the
dense wilderness, villages, fotcns, and CITIES have
sprung up, as II by magic; and the din of the agri
cuturist, mechanic, and manufacturer, as they
fell the forests, ply the hammer and plane, or fly
the shuttle and grind up the grain, has taken the
place Of the death-ke stiffness which once rcigned
over this beautiful and fertile State.
Our rapid progress in population, agriculture,
manufactures and the mechanic arts has been
without parallel in the annals of this nation
Fifty years ago a wilderness, almost, with popu-
lation Of but 5000. Now, in 1850, behold her, as
the ffh State in the Union, with population Of
,O25, 900 Nor IL this increase confined 10 her
population alone. Her agricultural productions for
the year ls49 are estimated at $1,000 900 bushels
Of corn, 100000 bushels Of oats, rye and barley
number Of hogs fattod last year 300 900. These
are but an estimate Of few of the principal pro-
ducts. "lndana, in 1900, had population Of but
56fl. She admitted into the Union in 1916,
and in 1870 contained a population Of l47,l7s."
just think Of population increasing, in fifty years.
from 5,64l TO 02b 900 souls Such an increase is
unparalleled
Indiana has also 770 miles of steamboat naviga-
tons she has 323 miles Of railroad completed, with
about 1000 miles in the Of completion.
There % 400 900 Of land in the State, of
which IL 900 900 acres IL first rate farming land.
Indiana Is ono Of the most fertile States of the
Union, and most proudly and justly docs she main
tain the position Of being the ffh State Of the
federacy in point of wealth, population, enterprise,
and all that constitutes grandeur in this mighty
public. In mineral resources, she is wealthy; she
possesses advantages for manufactures seldom met
with and, for her 20 assume rank the first,
second, third State Qf the Union, needs only the
full development Of these And that they
will be developed fully and TO their utmost extent,
the history Of the past the unfiinching, progressive
spirit Of her citizens fully warrants in conclud
ing.
Indiana will no longer have IL said Of her that she
alone produces "hogs and hominy"
