The Fourth indiana District.


There is division In the Fourth In
dianal District. This has existed for
several years Speakingin the interests
OF the Republican party, we expressed
the hope that the difficulties which had
frittcred away the Republican strength.
of that naturally ssreag Radical district,
would be removed, and to this end we
advised the withdrawal OF Hon. George
W. Julian. from the contcst. We have
received and printed several articles in
reply to- this ssa question, we have also
carefully read all that has been printed
in the local papers on both sides of the
question, and still looking at the matter
from stand point wholly disinterested
so far as candidates are concerned, it is
sour opinion that IL IL not possible 10
mite the panty vpoa Mr.. Julian, and
that therefore the latter should with
draw. ,.. -
- We have no cause Of quarrel with Mr..
Julian, and we can not be drawn into s
quarrel with ohirn. As Republicaa he
has been true 10 his principles, and II
we lived in the district aud he were q
candidate we should vote for him; but
we have evidence Of local antagonisms
that we are satisfied can not be over
come. These are per sonal aud not pc
htical. They are deep rooted and not
superficial. The opposition to Mr.. Ju-
liam In his own party was at first caused
by his advanced position on the slavery
question; but that might have been. AID
certainly would have been oveccone Is
the conservative wing of the party ad-
vanced to the 'front.' but for Mr.. Julian's
unfortunate temper and his determina-
ton to fght to the bitter end those who
at aay time opposed him. Mr.. Julian,
as we happen to know, considers every
man who does not fully support him in
his aspirations, personal enemy,s and
treats him accordingly. He uses Vine
gar when he might scatter sugar. He
says harsh things Of xsen who need to- be
sconciliated. This is not the way to
build up and keep together q party. 1t
is the way to break down and scatter
Mr.. Julian selected the wrong way, and
now he complains because the seed he
scattered has resulted in q harvest of
dissatisfaction and determined opposi
ton Upon this point we can. not be
mistaken In the Fourth District are
published eleven Republican papers, viz:
Richmond Telegram. Palladiuel. 'Ham>
ming Bird and Radical; Coneersviale
Times, Brookyille =, American, Liberty
Herald, Rush~ille Republican Greenfield
Commercial, Shelhyviiie Republican,
and Gem bridg City Tribune of these
ten are outspokep in opposition to Mr..
julian and only one-the Radical. edi.
ted by Mr.. Julian,s brother-fayors his
ercnomination. It is not usual, on the
contrary 1t is quite unusual, for party
apapers 10 oppose men who arS'.candi-
dates for nominatioQ; yet the papers we
have named ,hase gone SO far in their op-
position to Mr. niian that they can not
give him an effective support if be should
be acanaidate, if they would, and some
Of them have gone so far as to say that
they will not support him under any cir
cumstances.s Now, in 1868, Mr.. J ulian' 8
majority in the district. after throwing
ont Che South Richmond x0te wtlieh was
Largely against him. was one hundred
and sixteen. To kenominate Mr. Lufian
ur DER these circumstance would be to
risk the district, and this ought not to
be done, in the interest of any man. &c
would be juatifinble only in the interest
of a aninciple. In this case q mar is in
the Jwsy and no. q principle. ollo2 ad&

Mr.. Julian has, heretofore, sought and

We have not been either dictatoria OF
sar5 ust IA this ease. We dare offered
what we regarded as good .advice; .bu,
ethis has been in the interest of the Re-
pablieau party, and not Of Mr.. Julian
hence thu Dissatisfaction. AS to our
right to Interfere IL the affairs Of tina,
district, We have only to say that our
field is not corfinsd to the city Of Cincin
natl; the State Of Ohio or Indiana and
we have . clear right to discuss any
question Of public interest that may ariss
without regard to locality. This is
right, too, that we exercise RELY, and
thus exercising il, it ia not our habit to
consalt Mr.. Julian or envy other man in
or outside Of the Fourth District Gu
object is - maintain the Republican
party in the interest Of principles, nnd
not in the int est of men Principle:

advance these principles When they

that Mr.. Julian can not carry the Re

man, who IS tree to the principles of thu
