In 1854, Julian over johnson. 1883.
This was a year when the Rebel Democ-
racy of the North were hell-bcnt on the
destruction Of this Government, aud our
majorities were small in all the Districts
in comparison with former years. But
how does he stand In 1864, whea our ar
mics we're victorious. aud high hopes were
entertained that the Rebs. would have to
surrender. fff.
si Tn 1884, Julisn over Brown, 1868.
We will now show the comparison in
his own County with Mr.. Lincoln; aud no
one will dare say he did not stand squire
up 10 the issues Of the Republican party,

So you fod that he stands far above the
great leader Of the Republican party.
In 1850, Julian over Dandy, c,22s.
So you still see that his majority is great.
ly in excess Of the majorities Of any OF
the former candidates for Congressional
honors. The cause of the majority being
smaller in 1866, was because our party
has not been drilled in the service long
enough, aud therefore they do not turn
out at the State election as they would do
If il had been general election. And
then therc arc few men in Union and
Fayelte Counties who wanted to lcglslatc
Mr.. Julian out; therefore they induced
their friends 10 scratch him.
How did Col. Farquhar DO 10 1862
Why, he refused to accept the nomination
Of the Republican party. Ills private
business was such that il was impossible,
lie has surely settled up his business in
very great hurry, now that he has found
himself in a strong Republican District.
All l have to say is just this. that the
majority Of the people are very strongly
in favor Of letting the Col. remain at
home, for feg terms, ct least, until bis
priyi;e busii1 1sssis auch that Il will not
disccmmodo him 10 represent the people
for time.
The Col. has rather spotted record,
as any one may see by reference to tho

there Is stlll anolAsr aud do not know
how many. maas -lie voted IN favor OF
the extension Of tho Bank circulation OF
the United States Bank beyond 300, ,00O..
900. These are sufficient TO XIII more
eminent politician than Col. Farquhar.
No wonder he sought 10 mako himself q
statesman through the Now York papers,
aud also by his Western and Northern
pleasure trips.
But for oil this, the people are decl-
dcdly 10 hyor Of another real statesman,
and that Is tho Hon. George w. Julian
a true aud tried friend Of tho country, and
man that stands square up TO the Issues
Of tho Republican party. The people
