DIR. D. w. Voyles publishes card in
which be denies in full, the authorship and
all knowledge of the Hardin letter. which
was copied in the Sentinel. The Ledger
Standard comments on the card as follows:
Mr.. Hardin's reputation for truth and YER
acity has never been and we believe is un-
questioned by all who know him. He is re-
cognized as an honorable gentleman. That
be would be guilty of forgery, even to &C
compllsh purpose against his bitterest and
most unrelenting foe, we do not believe.
We apprehend that his explanation of the
matter Will prove satisfactory. If not, we
shall not hesitate to say so, promptly and
candidly. We are not linked with any
mans fortunes or to any party in such a
manner that we will descend to falsehood
to maintain our position.
A correspondent from Falkland, Shelby
county, writes September 10: The Hon. ID.
s. Gooding opened the political campaign at
this place yesterday in two hours speech.
which was listened to with marked attention
by large and intelligent audience. The
judges speech was a clear and forcible dis
cussion of the political issues of the day.
he stands squarely upon the democratic
| platform, as set forth in the INDIANAPOLIS
| convention. He illustrated very clearly the
consistency of a granger being democrat,
and the Inconsistency of his being repub-
lican. The people of this section are awake
! to the importance OF the issues before them,
and will lend their might at the ballot-box

recreant to the trust reposed in them, to the
party that breaches economy and practices
pronlgacy, 10 the party that promises reform
before the election and ignores that promise
as soon as it gets into Office.

and pointed to both the party candidates,
DIR. Raymond, democrat, and Col. Calkins,
republican. The two gentlemen come down
with categorical answers. Both promise to
oppose land grants, subsidies, high salaries
and every bad thing that can be named
i they both agree to oppose protective tar
iff and to support reciprocity treaty with
Canada. Both will go for paying the 90

that. Mr.. Caikins makes this answer:
am in favor OF paying the $40 bonds in the
money ofthe country, and in accordance
with the law under which they were issued
but am not in favor OF any wild scheme OF
initiation whereby an unlimited amount OF
paper currency shalt be thrust upon the
country greatly in excess OF the business
wants and demands OF the people.
But after all their fair promises the Valpa-
raise Messenger says; The Hon. Arson
Wolcott, of White county, has received and
accepted the independent nomination tol
Congress in the tenth district. The
graDgers will largely support Mr.. Wolcott.
He is a first class man.
So there is a third candidate in the field
