Advices from Indiana say the
Chairman of the Independent
Greenback State Central Com
mittee denies the report that
comes from Washington to the
effect that the Greenback party
Of Indiana will support Tilden d
Hendricks in case the House re
peals the Resumption act, and
says that in no case will the lnde-
pendents of Indianna support the
Democratic ticket, either State
or National. The Independents
will stand by Peter Cooper and
their own State ticket at all haz
ards, believing they can carry
the State. The committee has
called new State Convention
for August 18th, to take a posi-
ton on the silver question, and
will declare that the State Legis-
lature has the right to make all
silver coins of the United States
a full legal tender without limit
as to the amount, and will make
that question a taste in the elec-
ton Of members of the next Gen
eral Assembly. A greenback
rally took place at the State
house grounds on Saturday, at
which Judge Harrington, Judge
Huff, and Hon. Moses w. Field
made speeches.

his wounds, starved to death in
the bad lands or more likely, his
trail was followed and he was
killed by the Sioux.
Curley did not leave Custer un-
til the battle was nearly over,
and he describes it as desperate
in the extreme. He is quite sure
the Indians had more killed than
Custer had white men with him,
and says the soldiers fought Oh
until the last white man as well
as the other Grow Indians in hat
tie were killed.
