occupy: whether YOU intend submitting your
name 10 the nominating election or not. !
call on you publicly because it il reported
YOU do not intend submitting your name !;
but intend being an independent candidate.
Please let me hear from YOU soon.

What high.minded, honorable man
would have then thought that Mr..
Monks would have disrcgarded his
pledges and obligations to abide the
result Of that election, or that he
could have been induced TO become
hat INDEPENDENT candidate himsei'
Nevertheless it is even so. Have we
not the right and is it not the duty oil
Republicans TO demand OF Mr.. Monks
that acquicsccncc which he demanded
Of Mr.. Garrett? Let us remember this
+, little item when we go to the polls Oh
next Tuesday.
Again. with the kindcSt feelings to-
ward Mr.. NJ, personally, we publish
letter written by him to Mr.. p. b
Osborn in 1853:
WiSciIrsrrR, Ind, Oct. 6, lsss.
Ma. =. II. OspoRS-Dear Sir hav,
been acquainted with you for several year;
and have looked on YOU as being reliable
Republican, but IL certain ntimations hav,
heard to-day be true, fear | have beer
mistaken in you The Republicans of thl'
County have made their nominations fol
the different offices, you are aware, aud
understand YOU are here as an itineraa
etecfioneerer against part of the ticket
am truly sorry TO hear this. do think thi
a very important election for the Republican
party; great issues arc ut stake, and an,
thing that will tend to divide or distract III,
party will have n tendency to injure it 70
all time To come.
Viewing the coming canvass in this light
il surprises me To think You are opposing
the ticket in this County. should like Z
have an interview with YOU some time 500
and learn why YOU are thus acting.
Yours Truly, Gro. W. Monks.
This was written when Mr.. ScoT
was endeavoring to defeat John w
, Jarnagin Cor Treasurer, and whe
Judge BEowN was attempting to b
elected to the Legislature. Mr.. Os
i, born was using his influence. as
Republican, for the above gentlemen
> Was his case very materially differer

( say to Mr.. NJ, in the language of hi
n own letter, eve have known him Sc'
cral years. and have always looked o
: him as a reiiojie Republican, but
a certain intimoi'ons we have heart

in him. The Republicans OF tn
J County have made their nomination
T, he is aware. and he is electionecrin
against some OF the ticket. We a
e truly sorry of this. We do honcstl
II think this to be very important ele

issues are at stake, and ANY THING THi

" We suggest that it is now vel
&c proper time for Mr.. Osborn and hin
&c self to have that interview. 1t won
