INDIANAPoLIs, IND, Sept. 3.--Just now
everything Is comparatively quiet in politics,
though IL docs not require much intelligence
to sec that there is preparation on both sides
democratic and republican, to get ready TO
do all that can be done in the next campaign.
Down in Mr.. Holm ans district, Ghost, Faulk-
ner, who held position under Sergeant-at-
Arms Bright, and who is now state senator Is
working over that part of the state TO got the
democratic nomination for congress. l think
that this Is perhaps the cause Of so
much being said for Holman for the
national ticket, and also for governor. Faulk-
ner has two objects In view, the first, ss
above stated, for himself, and the second TO
get In all the work he can to make the next
state legislature democratic, for that logisla-
ture will elect successor to Mr.. Voorhees,.
1t has been stated by n democratic politician,
who knows what he states that Mr.. Voorhees,
will be the next candidate for governor on
his ticket. This was nows 90 mo, but IL Is
not at all improbable, as there is no doubt
that tho democrats rs we'll as tho republicans
will try to nominate one OF their ablest and
strongest men. Ex.Gov. Gray is an aspirant
for the office. He is thorough organizer,
aud has many friends, and they are not idle.
Mr.. Hendricks Is also spoken Of" He is
also in for tho old ticket" and although
that talk was at first considered rather as a
joke, IL has become a serious matter, and
there are moro supporters of that ticket in
this state to-day than there are Of ticket
with ex-senator Mcdonald at the head.
On the republican side there Is really no
earnest talk, although for governor the names
Of Judge Gresham, Maj. Calkins, Col. Dudley,
Senator Harrison, and Mr.. De Paw have all
been mentioned. The people understand in
this state that Col. Dudleys reason for not
being candidate is the fact that he Is q poor
man, and with that understanding they say
that that is just the kind of q man they want
to elect. Col. Dudley has made hosts Of
friends among all the soldiers, without regard
to politics, and they would vote for HIM IL
they had opportunity to do So Judge Gres-
ham Is also very strong, and the others have
many friends. find that the republicans Of
Indiana are united, and will heartily support
any Of those mentioned, or any good ropub-
lican.
On the other hand, there is no love between
Hendricks and Mcdonald, and the lato demo-
cratic legislature did little but wrangle over a
few Offices from the beginning to the close Of
the session. The bosses were not content
with turning out all the republican state Off
GERS, but they have turned out all the fair
minded democrats, and put ring men in theii
places, and the fight 10 not yet over. They
have shown the people of this state that they
care nothing for the good of the unfortunates
who are compelled to enter our benevolent
institutions, but that all they do care about
those people is for just what they are worth
in making positions for political strikers
With careful work and fair fight Indiana il
reliably republican, for the democrats have
not had a majority here for several years
having carried the state only by plurality
votes. TIMBERLAKE.
