ELECTION OF DELEGATES TO BALTIMORE.
TERRR HAuTE Ind, June Q, 1872
This IL the paradise Of democratic irreconcilabes
for here everything accomplished since Andrew
Jackson's time is looked upon rs a mistake to be
rectified in the good time coming. Instructed to
go see and hear the drift Of politics in this
State, decided on plunging at once into the mazcs
of Bourbon politics and writing my Impressions.
Indiana is State conspicuously interesting just
now. Sac holds relatively the same position in
regard to Greeley as Missouri did to Grant. As
Missouri uttered the first pun that afterwards grew
into the Cincinnati storm, Indiana, through her
talented and illrstrous son, Voorhees,, stands emf
nent the first State to batter Greeley hat.
The eyes OF Delaware are, therefore, upon Mr..
voorhees, and his Indiana and the calcium light Of
the HERALD must illuminate both.
Pure Bourbon politics, believed in by few and de-
nOunced by many, seems nauseous to the Indiana
stomach. Voorhees, bitters cannot make 1t accept
able, and Greeey's Southern syrup cannot keep it
down. The La Vendee OF this State voorhees, dis
tricD Is still as hopeessly befogged on the ques-
tion Of national State and local right and wrong
when it attempted to thwart the armies of the
Ku Klux Knights Of the Golden Circle. Tho ire
concables of this section the real original sore
heads Of the nation Nothing practical will satisfy
them. They are ready to acknowledge that Grant
whipped their particular friends out Of their con-
federate boots; and languidly confess that
while JEFF Davis should now be hung from
sour or sweet apple tree by the Southern
people, Horace Greeley should have no consid-
Grafton. Their policy, they express 1t, is to roll
their blankets round them and squat. And squat's
the word with the Bourbons Of Dan Voorhees, dis
trct 1t is truly funny to sit before hotel door in
this pleasant town and listen to the Bourbon
talk; more funny because OF the fact that q
large number OF people look upon these wiseacres
OF the past with pity and commiseraton. The
Bourbons arc exceedingly wroth with everybody
with Grant because he seems to hold the whip
hand; with Greeley because he may have chance
OF asnlng them into proper sense Of their posi-
lion as citizens Of the republic, and with every
body about them because Of the general belief that
the nineteenth is q tribe ahead Of the eighteenth
century. One Of these ardent supporters Of voor.
