The Union party Of Indiana will meet IN |
convention for the nomination OF State
Ticket The number of Offices to be filled
together with the influence the result of
the next general election in Indiana is to
exert upon her future character, render
it very important that in the selection of
candidates great care should be exercised,
and the names of none but those of known
loyalty and undoubted capacity placed
upon the ticket We want men whose
acquaintance in this State is general,
and who have manifested their willing
ness by their acts to save the country. For
the Office Of Auditor of State we have
heard the name of Thomas McCarty. of
Wabash county, frequently and fayorably
mentioned, and we know of no man IN
the State with more of the elements of
popularity, or better qualifications for
the position than Mr. McCarty. A ser
vice of eight years in the Auditor s ottlce
of the county where he lives gives him e
knowledge of the duties of the office

fitted for the position of Secretary o
State. Indeed, we had already hear
him spoken of for Auditor Of State, a
his financial abilities are of very hig
order. He is well calculated to fill eitt
err Office, and we know of no man in thi
District, who is more deserving of tn
honor of nomination, and none who
more competent to discharge the dutie

out the State. His name would civ
