A number Of Indiana delegates to the Ma
tional Republican Convention, with Indiana
republican congressman, called at the Vice
Presidents room at the capitol yesterday,
and Judge Denny of Evansville, addressed
Mr. ColtaX as follows
MIR. Vice President Those of the In
diana delegates now in the city on their way
home, with others of your personal and po-
litical friends, are unwilling to leave without
making this call and expressing their high
appreciation of the invaluable service rem
dered by you to the republican party and to
the country, and while we as Indianians re-
greet your defeat at TIE late republican con-
vention, where we earnestly labored for your
nomination as a candidate for the Office of
Vice President of the United States, we at
the same time feel proud Of your patriotic
conduct in joining with us in q hearty, cordial
endorsement of the ticket there nominated;
and we heartily approve the sentiments con-
tanned in your telegram to Col. Foster. We
feel well assur ed that we have a strong tick
ct, a ticket which bears the names of men
whose respective privileges and public char

must approve them at the ballot box in Nov
ember. Before closing this interview we
cannot refrain from expressing also our high
appreciation of the honorable manner in
which you saw fit to conduct yourself during
I've earnest canvass made by the Indiana del
Patton at the convention TO secure your re-
nomination. While we cannot resist the inn
preston that if you had consented to make
personal efforts in your own behalf, such as
all candidates are Sermitted to make without
loss of character or manhood, success might
have crowned our efforts, we are at the same
time constrained to admit that the digniied
course which YOU choose to adopt deserves

ShipWrecks by the Storm.

We continue to receive accounts of more
shipwrecks by the recent storm, the partcu-
lars Of which will be found below, together
with some interesting particulars of other
disasters previously given.
The schooner VIM. c. Endicott of Glouces-
ter, Capt. Reed, which arrived at this port on
Friday from Georges Banks, towed in the
schooner Dexter of Surry, Me-, which YES
sci was found dismasted and abandoned thir
ty- five miles from Boston Light. The vessel
was full of water, her house and boat gone,
the crew having probably been taken off by
some passing vessel. She has a cargo of
lumber.
The schooner Georgia, Capt. Alley, bound
from Ellsworth, Me-, with cargo of lumber
for Mr.. Hall of Chelsea, went ashore on the
lower end of Plumb Island during the gale of
the 9TH. The crew were saved. The vessel
lies in an easy position and the cargo will
probably be saved, but the schooner will
prove total loss. The Georgia halls from
Ellsworth, and was owned by the captain and
his father. She was about eighteen years
DID, and was not insured.
The schooner Jane of Boston, before re-
ported wrecked on Squam beach and all
hands lost, was seen ashore on the bar near
the lighthouse on Wednesday afternoon, but
the people on shore supposed the crew were
in no danger. as they could have landed with
out difficulty at low tide. Contrary to ex-
pectation, however, boat soon started from
the schooner with five men in her, which had
not proceeded far when it preached TO and
upset, and the crew were thrown into the sea
and lost The boat was Immediately
manned and went to their aid, but did not
succeed in saving any Of the unfortunate
men. The bodies had not been recovered at
last accounts.
Captain Davis Arey of the schooner NJ. NJ.
Freeman, of Rockport, Me, before reported
wrecked at Cape Ann, with the loss of a
portion of her crew, floated ashore ON a
plank, and was picked up in an exhausted
condition. BY the prompt efforts of the peo-
pie who had been attracted to the scene he
was resuscitated, and is now doing we'll.
George Rumble, one of the crew, was also
saved. The mate, MIR. Hiram Stubs, ard
two seamen, names unknown, were drowned
within sight of those who were powerless to
save them.

a sea on Wednesday morning which swep
decks and stove galley and cabin. The decl
load, about seven tons coal, was WASHED

dered the country, and Of our personal es.
TEEN and confidence.
Mr.. Coliax replied. that he was proud to be
the recipient of such warm and earnest
friendship as that exhibited by the delega-
ton from Indiana and other States, and so
kindly expressed by Judge Denny's cordial
remarks. He bowed to the decision of the
convention without murmur or regret, and
should prove hereafter as faithful to the re-
publican creed in private life as when he had
been standard bearer Of the cause. He
reJoiced that after eighteen years of public
life, with all his acts like the open pages of a
BOOK before the people, the worst that could
be said of him at Philadelphia was that he
had written stating his willingness and desire
to retire from official position and had after
wards consented to accept denomination if
the party believed it best. This charge he
could not deny, but he had never written
anything broader than is found in expressions
Of that much quoted letter. So much had
been said about it, that now the convention is
over he felt he had right to tell his
home friends what his lips had
been sealed on heretofore, namely :.
That it was not written for publication. He
had expected to submit the desire he felt and
which was expressed in it to leading republi-
cans Fl ON his own State and elsewhere when
Congress reassembled for their advice, but
he said he must add in justice to the valued
friend to whom he wrote that letter, that it
was not marked confidential, and being from
public man on public question, that friend
had an unquestionable right to infer that it
was not private, and therefore he justified
him fully in printing it.
While going himself, therefore, to the re-
tired list, without the slightest unkind feel
ing towards any one who desired change in
the Vice Presidency, and wishing especially
decisive victory in October in our closely
contested State, he would join with them in
November in cordially supporting L. S.
Grant and Henry Wilson for President and
Vice President
