IGNORING THE UOOSIERS.
The Presidents Strict Measures Regarding
Indiana Appointments.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-rhc Indiana re-
pubicanS are all out of sorts regarding the
refusal of the president to accept their
recommendations of candidates for office.
He not only. rs they aliege, ignores them
entirely, but has issued written orders to
the several heads of the departments the
government printer and others not to
make any appointments from the state of
Indiana, without instructions from the
white house or the Endorsement of Gen.
Michencr, chairman of the state re-
publican committee. This bars the re-
publican members of congress entirely
out, and they cannot even get Il messenger
appointed without first securing the in
dorSement of Mr.. Halford or Mr.. Micmer
The republican representatives from that
state made their selections for supervisors
of the census and endorsed them jointly,
but their candidates were all rejected and
they were not consulted rs to the men who
were appointed. They think that the
president even if he were not willing to
appoint the men they recommended, at
least might have consulted them and asked
their views as to the men he finally did APP
point. But. us they claim, he ignores
them quite us much rs he does the demo-
cratic representatives from his state.

Roasts Him in an open Letter.


Roasts Him in an open Letter.
The voters are doing a good deal of think
ing for themselves nowadays. Mr.. Nj. 5.
Newcomer has written the following open
letter to Senator Farwell
"lnA GROVE, Iowa, Jan. % Hon. c. b.
Farweil, Washington, u. C.-DEAR SIR:
A Washington correspondent under date
of Jan. 18th, describing an interview with
yourself relating to the hill of inquiry
touching the liquor traffic. now before
congress, uses this language:
senator Farwell said that he hadn't seen the
bill, but he told me very frankly that If the hill
was got up by the prohibition party, that try
ing to defeat the republicans, he would be opposed
TO II for that reason alone
IF this correspondent has correctly re-
ported your sentiments, your po-
litical creed is certainly the most disgrace
full which has e.er stigmatized the history
of American legislation. | had supposed
the liquor traffic involved a moral and
economic question, interesting alike to all
people of this great nation, irrespective of
political atiliation OF Thought; and it is
certainly humiIiating discovery that =
United States senator remands this mighty
question to the unstatesmanlike and ran
corous realm of petty partisan hate.
'lf you were a statesman, sir, what
would it matter to you from whence ques-
tions of economic statecraft emanated?
Your business Is to sit in Judgment on
the merits of questions, and not by
scenting their source like a ward politi
clan. You say you would oppose the
measure for no other reason than that it
originated with the prohibition party.
That is certainly a convincing reason,
since employed by senator.
Men who are driven tn such petty par
tisan exhibitions of bigotry and intoIer
ance reveal either their own incompetancy
or the hopeless lack of patriotic loyalty to
our institutions in the political party with
which they train. You can take either
view of this dilemma, sir, or enjoy the
| hybrinized results of BOTH If the republi-
can leaders are animated by such 'enti-
ments as are here attributed TO yourself,
the party ought to be beaten, for in that
case it is no longer worthy the support Of
patriotic American citizens.
