SYRACUSE, n. " July 7, 1868.
Nearly all the delerqes to the Republican State
Convention are already on hand ana it is expected
that the work Of the Convention will be speedily trans
acted tomorrow. The friends of John A. Griswold
for Governor are numerous; nut 1t Is evident that
considerable majority are in favor of the nomination
OF Mr.. Lyman Tremain, Of Albany. Indeed, his nomi-
nation Is very generally conceded tonight, and the
impression is quite prevalent that the name OF Mr.

For Lieutenant Governor the names OF Alonzo B..
Cornell, of Ithica, and Charles Andrews, OF SYRIA
cuse, are most prominent; for Inspector OF State
Prisons General Barnum, of Syracuse; for Canal

Greeley's name for the Executive nomination. His
claims are earnestly urged by Benjamin Field, Mr..
Young, Of the New York Tribune and Mr. Brown, Of

Everything indicates, however that the contest
will be speedily narrowed to vote between Girls

c. ii. BINGHAM,-Dear Sir: | see by
an editorial in your last weeks paper that
you are out for the Hon. John II. Far
quhar for Congress in tSis tthe new 4th)
District. You say after careful inquiry
that you believe that Col Farquhar is the
choice of majority Of the. citizens of this
County. = You had better let your inquiry
extend a little further than the limits Of
Brcokville. If the Col. would like to
hear the voice of the people as to who
shall represent them 10 the next Congress,
just let it be known. and he can have the
voice Of the people on that in Nomina
ting Convention the first Monday in April.
i am confident. ii it is lett to the PEG
pie, that the Hon. George w. Julian has
majority of the Union Republican vo-
ters. | am confident that Mr.. Julian asks
Daught but right. lie would rather have
the voice Of the people in Nominating
Convention. for that is the fairest mode of
oil. There is not such great chance for
gouging as there will be in Convention.
where candidate may be forced on the
people against their will by party clique.
Mr.. Julian will no doubt submit TO either
mode OF nominating, If il is conducted
fairly and honestly with the several caudi
dates. hope to see nothing bu, fair play
on the part Of the friends Of either candi
date. | would like to have the whole
matter pass off in peace and harmony; for
in union there is strength.
No candidate thus far named presents
better record, qualifications and avail
ability than The Hon. George w. Julian.
lie stands frm with the Union party on
all the great questions Of the day BY
reference 10 his Congressional record you
will 6nd his vote in the negative on all
such bills as the 800 bounty to the sol
der aud $1,000 additional TO the Con.
gresham. the bankruptcy bill, and many
others which were not of vital interest to
his constituents. lie hoped to give the
soldier better bounty, but his bill was
voted down on tho final vote. lie howev.

II Is useless at present, as the people know
that none OF our public men eau show

INDIANAPOLIS. JAN ID, 1908
Dear Biagham,-I have been itching
to write you for some time. There are
many things Transporting hereabouts, that
do not find their way into the papers,
(which are worth knowing. For instance.
the political parties are beginning to drill.
l have but little patience with some Re-
publicans that I wot Of. They can see
nothing good in the Democratic party of
to.day, whereas there is much to praise in
it. always admired the consistency of
the buck that jeff Colescott used to tell
about, who was such an inveterate butter
that when he was set to butting at the
maui suspended by roIe, be buiied all
night, and until there was nothing left of
him but the tail, and that kept on butting
out of sheer consistency. Now the Dem
ocratic party of to-day is consistent. L.
is the opposition party. You remember
that it opposed eoercing sovereign States,
even before Mr. Buchanan left the White
House. 1t opposed Mr. Lincoln's calling
out rs 900 men to.thrasb the rebels. and
then 1t opposed the 100000 IL opposed

and whipping the rebels in particular,

But the stubborn Republicans could not
see it that way, but whipped them thor
oughiy; yet the. Democrats. true . their
butriug propensiiies, contiiu to oppose.
They opposed everything done during the
war, except McClelan's mastery inactiv-

can see no good reason why We should
hand things over 10 them now any more
than four years ago. They are powerful
on the constitution 1t was unconstitu-
tionsl to drub the rebels; it is how IN
constitutional to keep them out in the
cold. We shall see.
There are some things amusing even in
the Republican ranks. Our people are
SO confident OF success that there is no
little struggling for position ON the ticket.
The leading candidates seem to be fixed
already Baker and Cumback will no
doubt be the candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant. But what creates the great
est excitement here, is the Craftsmanship
of the State Central Committee just
what there is in it, [ cannot tell; but there
must be something more than sacrifice
and labor. Bat the contest has waxed so
hot that out Of sheer self defense the two
aspirants have been laid aside and new
one suggested Hon. John Caven, late
Mayor of this city, is new the coming
man.
Good luck to your railroad. Glad that
we can get TO Brookvile easier than to
New York. If some of us drop over more
frequently than heretofore, don't be sur
prised. Yours,

Congressional Nomination.

common usage Of the party. We have
reference. Of course, to tho modern prac

modern innovation we object

anti Democratic. in dispensing with the
majority rule and substituting that of q

We understand that the resolves Of Ma

vote for Hon. Will Cumback for Lieut.

and he will not be a candidate for the

connection. 1t is great disappoiDtm Mt
to his many friends in this part of the
