LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Hon. George ". steele for Governor.

Hon. George w. Steele for Governor.
TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Whoever is nominated for the Office of Gov
ernor will command the solid and the united
support Of the Republican party, and the only
question for the consideration Of the conven-
ton which meets at Indianapolis next week IL,
who, of all the eminent men whose names will
be before the convention, can the
greatest number of Democratic votes. The
Republicans Of the Eleventh Indiana Congress
sional district feel confident that of all the men
whose names will be considered by the Repub-
licsn convention. none will embody so many
elements of strength and popularity as the
name of the Hon. George w. Steele, OF Grant.
AS an evidence of his strength and popularity.
1t Is only necessary to mention the fact that
this district, the Eleventh. was organized with
a Democratic majority of over five hundred, by
q Democratic Legislature, for the purpose Of
sending to Congress one of the most popular
Democratic soldiers at that time in northern
Indiana, the Hon. James r. Slack, Of Hunting
ton county: Major Steele successfully met and
defeated this popular soldier by nearly hve
hundred votes. Then followed, successfully,
the defeat Of Joe Daily, of Button, and the
Hon. William Kidd. of Wabash. By this
time the Democrats Legislature concluded
TO resort to heroic measures in order to compass
his defeat, by taking Howard county, with her
twelve hundred Republican majority, out Of the
district, thereby making the Democratic major
ity nearly two thousand, ana consequently. IS
they thought, Democrats beyond a question.
This was followed by the nomination Of that
popular and cultured Democrat, the Hon. James
Branyan, of Huntington county. He, like his
predecessors, met with an overwhelming defeat,
Steeleis majority over Branvan being nearly
five hundred votes. We claim that there is not
another man in the State who can show as good
. running record as this.
Steele is very popular with the masses, and
especially with the old soldiers, whose interests
have beer so eminently served during his eight
years in Congress. Els last and greatest act in
their behalf was in securing an appropriation OF
$500, 600 for the erection OF a soldier home in
this place. Having served himself with dis
~tinction, not only during the entire rebellion,
but also some fifteen years in the regular army.
he is thereby peculiarly fitted to understand the
wants and the needs of the soldiers Of Indiana.
With Geo. W. Steele for Governor, Grant
county can be safely put down for two thousand
Republican majority. S. b. BEsRoRE.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Republicans Of Putnam county have been
jubilant with the idfI Of the nomination Of AL
bert G. Porter for Governor. and hopeful that
r. S. Robertson could be induced to accept the
position of Acknowledgements, an Office to
which he was fairly elected in 1856. but de-
prived of the full possession of the same by q
Democratic mob.
When the convention on the 9Th OF
August they will, ana should, demand the serv-
ice of such men as its combined judgment may
suggest, and no man who expects q political fut.
ure car afford to stand against the will of the
peopleA We do not understand that the Repub-
lican sarty, by desiring the nomination of the
above gentleman, feel that thoy are the only
men that can be elected. Nor do they feel that
there are not others equally as good, and per-
haps as strong before the people; but public
sentiment having settled down to the be-
lief that such a thing would be
done. their refusal simply puts the whole
thing at sea. with but little time for public SEN
timent to crystalline.
Among the prominent Republicans of tho
State, We are not able to see why the name Of
Alvin p. Hovey for Governor. and Ira j. Chase
for Lieutenant governor. would not arouse the
enthusiasm of the party TO lead it to certain
victory. These names possess every desirable
element and fitness for strength and success.
