LETTER FROM INDIANAPOLIS.
INDIANAPOLIS. March z, '6S.

INDIANAPOLIS, March z, 90. =
DEAR BlNoHAM,-I have been much
amused at the sharp shooting of your
several correspondents. Some seem to
have put their feet into trouble by kind
of general disposition to be sarcastic; 9TH
ers have become tho special champion Of
this or that candidate, especially for Con-
gress. Now all Of these add somewhat to
the interest of the paper, aud should add
considerably to the interest of the Pub lish-
err. Whether you have been in business
long enough to say to the candidates, that
while you may have your individual pref
erence, your paper, as an advertising
medium, within due bounds, is for sale, /
know not. You will como to that in due
course of time; possibly, however, like
some Of the rest Of us, not until you shall
have toiled in the thankless and payless
work Of bringing men into notice who
would not speak to you if You were not q
valuable piece Of machinery. / have
known not few who supposed that the
slow payment Of two or three dollars q
year not only bought the ordinary advnn-
tages Of County paper, but laid the
Editor under lasting obligations to boot.

Col. Fsrcuhar in Rush County.

This gentleman appeared before col
lection Of the people of this County, at
the Court House, on Thursday evening Of
last week. The rain had fallen for four
days almost necessarily, and nature was
in one Of her gloomiest moods, and the
roads about as soft as they ever get in
muddy country. A 6ne crowd, however,
greeted him. and in one Of his characters
tic efforts he made all feel good and happy.
The, news of the Republican victory in
New Hampshire had stimulated the good
people, too, and they were prepared for a
good time. Even the ladies', notwith.
standing the constant rain of the day. in
goodly numberwere out, giving their IN
auence aud cheer for the good cause.
The speaker held the audience in atien-
tive silence for full two hours, save on.y
when interrupted by bursts Of applause
that followed some of his fine points.
The Colonel always does we'll when he
addresses On audience, and this was GER
tainly one Of his fhe efforts. The State
Convention at Indianapolis had placed
him on tho ticket as an Elector for the
4th District. The same position he had
filed in 1885, and again in 1860, when
he cast the vote Of the District for the la
men,ed Abraham Lincoln. These trusts
he filed with credit TO himself and the
entire uppsesal oftho party. In 1852 he
was the candidate for Congress with Col.
j. ii. Lane, who was elected. In 1861
he was again the standard bearer of the
Republicans In opposition to DR.. George
Berry, and carried the District in the face
Of au oppcAticn majority Of more than
three thousand votes. This. was one OF
tho most skillful and successful contests
ever had in tho State.
Col. Farquhar is again seeking the
nominaiion for Congress. The District
having been changed, imposes on him
tho necessity Of making some new ac.
quaintances, and hc has been eanvasslng
In Shelby. and flushed series Of ap-
poin,ments in Rush our place, on tho
evening referred 10. Ito is an able expo.
ncnt OF tho principles of the party, aud
tho opposition smart under his lcathlng
expose of their principles and plans. Yet
tho genial nature and honesty with which
no lays open the doctrines aud tendencies
Of the Democratic party, secures for him
tho esteem even Of those who arc opposed
TO him. In bis review Of tho measures Of
tho opposition for tho last eight years, he
won fer himself In tho estimation Of our
people, position that no one has excel
lod.
Other mon whom tho party delight to
honor arc seeking the nomination, and
the contest will DO spirited one; yet
when decision Is had, all will yield their
preferences. and labor for success with
tho nominee. The Col. has many warm
friends among US, aud should no DO tho
candidate, will labor for him with a good
will, assured from former services Of his
that ho will bear our standard sloft aud
lead to victory In October aud November.

no discredit on our currency. There ID
no speculation 10 paying our bonds 10 pa
per. / thank God that the faith which
We all hold as one man seeks to level up,
not to level down. While, therefore, We
differ as to the construction of the con.
tract with public creditors, VIC must not
confound the position Of those who think
it right to pay in paper, but who battle te
make that paper as good as gold, with the
position of those who mean not only "a
pay in paper, but who are destroying the
value ofthat paper. That Is reputation
We are not trying to give paper to tho
bondholders, bat gold and silver to the
people"
When Governor Seymour spoke of those
who mean-not only to pay the public deb
10 paper, but TO destroy the value Of tho
paper, he had in view Brick Pomeroy',
plan, who proposes to issue enough green.
backs to absorb the debt at par, and then
to repudiate the greenbacks; and also e
such orthodox Democrats as Jesse D.
Bright, who said to the Kentucky Con.
vention that, while he was opposed to pay,
ing the war debt, he would have no OBJ
lection to giving greenbacks for the bonds
and then he would let the greeubacks tax,
care Of themselves.
1t is plain that an irrepressible confic
is preparing inside Of the Democratic
party, between the faction Of repudiator'
and that smaller class of Democrats wht
believe that il is possible for nationa
honorto be preserved and common honest,
to be practiced by the corrupt and corrupt
ing Democratic party.
