democrat, and Prime Culver, son of NJ. C.
culver, republican. Both on the young men
are lively, and their parents" are seeing
them through
In the eleventh district it j. decided that
the democracy of the district, including all
persons opposed to the present administra-
tlonI holda convention at Peru on Thurs
LAY, August -, no / o'clock y. NJ, to nom
mate candidate for Congress- All persons
IN favor OF reform and desirous of q change
In the present administration of our govern
ment, are invited to attend and participate.
1t is considered by the Lafayette Dispatch
as settled that the Hon. Godlove S. Ortiz
Will De the republican candidate for Con-
gross III the Ninth District. a. the Orth ring
nave all the strings in hand. Judge vinton
mas been fayorabiy spoken OF, than whom
no better man could be found for a Con-
gresham, but the present incumbent. the
Hon. L. j. Cason, would certainly die of
wurrunis" If his party throw him over
board at the end of one term, The Lafayette
journal states that Mr.. Orth positively de-
clines to be candidate.
The Hon. John B. Stoll of the Iigorier
Banners is quite pronounced in his financial
views. The Banner says:
While the State platforms commits the
party 10 imitation, we have faith to believe
lnat In majority Of the Congressional dis
trlcts an honest effort will be made 10 recti-
fy the blunder of the 18th. Congressional
PLATFORMS are really the place TO establish
financial platforms. The people there have
better opportunity to be heard than in a
State convention, where discussion and de-
liberation are next to impossibilities.
In speaking of the movement of Mai. Cra-
vens to run for Congress as an independent
candidate against Mr.. Kerr, the New Alba
ny Ledger-Standard says: 1t is his privi-
legs, as IL is that of any other man in the
district, to seek the suffrage of the people.
But Maj Cravens is no longer entitled TO the
support of the democracy. He sought coun-
sci and advice Of the lifelong enemies of
democracy, and who desire to use him as
TOOL TO disorganize the party In this
he and they will fail most signslly, and
then Major Cravens will be deserted by his
new found friends He must henceforth be
recognized AZ the champion of his Republic
can conireres, to whose use he has surren-
dered himself, and we shall 81 treat him so
long as he remains their candidate. Person
ally we have regarded him with the highest
esteem, but are disposed to say that he has
forfeited the confidence of his Democratic
friends, and must eventually lose his self-re-
spect. Our roads now lie in different direc-
tons. and we certainly shall not turn and
follow him into the camp of the enemy.
The Terre Haute Gazette holds its indie
pendent back up pretty high. 1t speaks
out in this fashion: Nobody cares what DR.
Rice thinks upon the Baxter bill. As con-
gresham, ne will have nothing whatever to
do with that matter, so that his views on
temperance are of no Importance Whatever.
Nobody cares what be thinks about abolish
ing county superintendent, or limiting the
powers OF county commissioners and other
matters purely local and State politics.
What the people are interested in,
ia
ces, upon tariff laws, etc. 1t will
suffice to say that his attitude upon some of
the questions especially the first, is by no
means satisfactory to very large body of
voters in this district. though, for that mat
ter. Hunter is little better. if Indeed, he is
not worse. 1t bchooves the friends of hon.
est money to ponder deeply the question of
whether in this contingency. they bad not
better put candidate in the field who does
believe in the nation paying it's debts hon
estly, dollar for dollar, and setting its face
in the direction of a return to hard money.
John B. Ruger has declined. tie

senator from Tippecanoe county.
An attempt to nominate an independent
county ticket in Warrick county did not

farmers mass meeting was held in
Bloomfield on the 18th, at which Ii was ar
ranged ohold a delegate convention August
l, whose action will be based on the follow
ing statements:
WHEREAS, The issues that have heretofore
divided the people of this country have
ceased to exist, and we deem it inpolitic to
perpetuate the old political parties with a
view of seeking reform in the administration
of our public affairs; and
WHEREAS. Few and momentous questions
have arisen which demand the consideration
of every farmer and laborer of The country,
believing the true principle to be the sover-
eighty of the governed, and that legislation
guaranteeing exclusive rights and privileges
TO corporations and mohopolies enabling
a few to enrich themselves from
the hard earnings of the laboring classes, is
in direct opposition to the best interests %
the people, having tendency TO degrade
labor and encourage corruption: and that
the triumph OF the people in this contest
with monopolies of every form and charac-
ter is essential to the prosperity and per-
petuity of our free Institutions, We therefore
demand honesty and efficiency of our public
officers. and an economical administration
of our public affairs. That the burdens which
are now pressing so heavily upon the labor
ing people may be made as light will be
