Here We have Ne. Julian again
modestly importuning the Repob- s
lican party for ofiice. The StstS
Convention met at, Indianapolis. i
on The 2sd day OF February. /
was present and he'd the honor to
be delegate thereto from the
county of Wayne. Mr.. Julian's
interests we're By him conlided to
committee Of his friends with
power to act as circumstances
might demand. The evening be-
fore the meeting of the conven-
tion il became apparent that he
could mol be nominated for Con-
gressnan at Large. The delegates
from Henry county, one Of his
supposed strongholds. in caucus
decided against him. Part of the
allegation from his own county
bitterly opposed him, and his de-
feat ncxs day became liked fact,
and his sriends sscertaining this,
witndFew his name and he deciin-
ed
About the same time Mr.. Julian
had his name before the
Workingmen's National Conven-
ton as . candidate for President
OF the United States !; but Judge
Davis was nominated and thea Mr.
Julian declined. He was also
candidate before the National Pros
hibition Convention for President
but Judge Black wss nominated.
He was then put In nomination
for Vice-President before the same
convention, but his defeat being
assured friend convenient pro-
duced declination.
/ After this We find him with his
burden Of misfertunes descending
1.-THE ladder. The new departure
began to take shape and he felt
called upon to define his position
in order to prepare himself for
coming events. On the 2Gth OF
April last he wrote letter to q
Liberal meeting, held ia Lyceum
Hall in the city Of Richmond in
in which he declared himself sss
decidedly opposed to the re elec.
ton Of Graus, and regretted the
necessity which compelled . se. -
: ration from political associations
, in which he had labored for yesrs.
The necessity Of which he spoke
is we'll understood. For some ac-
countable reason, in this same
letter he feels constrained to speak
of himself in this wise:
, But in my pas. political life, my
desire for Office has never been
strong enough to swerve me from
, fidelity to truth, or my devotion to
, what l believe to be principle, at
! whatever cost TO myself and |
, am now 10 old too learn the despi-
cable arts of time-servar.
