| koKoMo, IND, Jnpe I, ilS74.-The boil
ing of the political cauldron in thi
part of the state is not annoying any one
Very little interest is manifested i'm tn
farmers movement. it being general,
believed that it is a kind Of Sam Carey affair
being manipulated by a few "time worn
veterans of political warfare, whose success
has not always been fiattering, and who's,
thread-ba garments proclaim the necesst,
to which their owners are driven. The Ole
political parties have complete organizations
and are willing aud prepared to fight it on
on the old line, it being generally under
stood that the grangers on ma.
tional and state affairs will
vo.e with the parties to which they have
! heretofore belonged. In the republican
camp there will be 10 little commotion, as
the time for holding the congressional con-
vention draws near. Candidates are numer.
Gus, each county in the district having one
or more individuals who are willing to lay
themselves on the altar of sacrifice. Hamil-
ton county presents the name of James
Evans. whose family has as great thirst
| tor Office as the Washburnes. He is a
merchant of Noblesyille, has good common
horse sense, and delights in being called
'honest JIM" He is Sunday school
teacher of renown, il a crusader, but does
not dOte on the grangers. Upton has but
one csndidate-Judge Green. The radicals
there trot him ou5 as a candidate before
every convention held either in the judicial
or congressional district. He is always led
forth "as a lamb to the slaughter" and at all
times meets his rate with becoming forti-
tude. DE Is pioneer, and an honest law
yer. but is getting old, and has game"
leg. Howard county has no mean lot OF
'thirsters" for
CONGRESSIONAL GLORY.
The little band is led by Major r. C. Philips,
the venerable editor of the Kokomo Tribune,
whose party record is just about good enough
to snow him under. He is jolly good fell
low, with many personal friends, but tn
'truly loyal don't quite understand that
''swing" with A. j. in 1866. Col. n. p. Rich
mond's ambition would carry him to con-
gress, backed by sufficient number of
is well liked by his friends, but has
never been popular with the masses
Just at this time he wears old
clio hes, and devotes much attention
to his farm in the country. 1t Is said that
he carries cobs in his pocket, and is counting
favor with the horny handed patrons. James
O'Brien is another Kokomo candidate. He
is generally regarded as honest, but an in
veterate office-seeker, holding himself in
readiness at all times to fill any vacancy.
He was formerly denizen OF Noblesville.
and may develop strength in Hamilton
county. He is popular with the Methodists
and il roaring crusader. Cass
county presents the name of
Colonel Tom Bringhurst, special mail
agent, and ]. L. Brien, Of the Journal.
Bringhurst is q warrior, and Dryer, a music
teacher and vocalist OF no bad repute They
will make lively fight for the vote of Cass
county. The former is jolly fellow, after
the free and easy style, while the latter is
exceedingly pious and In favor of prohibition.
James N. Tyner, the present salary grab
bling incumbent, who has proved himself
such an "artful dodger" by his votes on
divers important measures, is setting up the
pins for denomination. OF course he will re-
ceive the support of all cross roads, postmas
ters and country mail carriers whose bread
and sausage depend on their keeping
ON THE SUNNY SIDE
of the administration. If Tyner is nomi-
mated the democrats will carry the district,
for he has rendered himself peculiarly dis
tasteful to the farmers during his past term
of office. Wabash county will urge the
claims of Calvin Cowgirl, but as he is rail- |
road attorney, the grangers will "face" on
him, and he won't stand ghost of chance. |
Fulton county has been recently attached |
to the district, but we learn that Ed. |
wants the people to send him |
to Congress. Ed. is young law
yer, of good habits, but will be too short
lived TO occupy a seat in the national coun-
Gil. He has been in the legislature and his |
ambition should be satisfied. Let him Join |
the crusade and rest content with focal |
The democrats of this district |
Will ''stand no show" unless Tyner, or some |
equally unpopular man, is nominated by |
the republicans. There is an overwhelming \
radical majority, which no ordinary ground
swell" can overcome. II the prospect is IA
however, there will be no lack of
candidates. General Moss, OF Mobiles |
ville Nate Overman, of Upton; Sena- |
tor Armstrong. of Howard; n. o. Ross, |
OF Peru; DIR. Fitch, Rufus Magee and Char |
ley Lasselle, of Cass, would, in such a con-
tingency, consider themselves available"
1t is generally understood here, |
that the democrats will carry the state this |
year with hut little effort. The German and
whisky vote Is forever lost to tho republicans,
and 1t is thought this will be sufficient to
give to the democracy the spoils. BY the
way it wouldn't be bad idea. Let the 'old
hickories" be resuscitated and give them a
chance. mets cc WASH.
