Said he:
In the administration OF Affairs of the gov
eminent, it is necessary that honest capable
| and intelligent men be chosen for public office.
They should understand what is beneficial to
the people and have the experience OF long
years in public q airs. SINGS the year 1854
matters of interest and great pub i'm portance
have been considered, and many OF these set
tied by legislatures OF the several states, the
congress OF the United Ststes and the preme
| court of the federal union. Many of those
matters were of INFINITE reacn, requiring the
highest grade of statesmanship in order that the
union OF the states should be perpetuated for
| the benefit of those thenliving aud for the BEN
| eft of generations to come. One OF the states
| men vino passed through this period, when the
| government was put 10 Its utmost capacity to
preserve the integrity OF the union, was David
Turpie. Mr. Turpie 10 g native OF this state, and
one of her ilustrious sons. In all OF these
! places he served the people with an honesty
and fidelity of purpose that cannot be ques'
! toned.
a man OF great natural ability. profound
lawyer. an eloquent speaker. 8 classical scholar,
and with an almost unerring judgment, he
combines al the qualities of which statesmen
are made.
A gentleman Of unsullied character, he
stands forth true rspresentRtive of his
stare. which has honored him in the past, and
| which he will honor in the great Office that we
| are about to confer upon him for tile second
| time. Believing DAVID TurpIe represents the
| highest type OF American statesman and demo
! crst. and one who has always been true to the
interests of his state and of the United States,
| i, too, take great pleasure Ia placing his
name in nomination for the Office OF senG-
tor OF the United states for this state.
When Mr. Hench had finished Mr.

| marks:
LIN common with the democracy everywhere,

| Indiana has two intellectual giants, who. In AL
that august body, have few equals and no su-
! perlors. Indiana IS proud OF their scholarly
alta nments. OF their profundity of thought and

senate.
The Republicans.
Representative Lindemuth of Wayne
county on behalf of the republicans, NOM
mated Charles w. Fairbanks. In placing
his name before the house Mr., LIndemuth
said:
| Mr.. SEPAKER-I am one of those who believe
| that newer and fresher blood should be in used
| into the senatorial body, that ace, conserFa-
tism and wealth should not be the essential
| passports to a seat in the senate of the United
| States. Age may lend maturity and dignity 10
| that body-cOuservatlsm may stand u chez x
! TO the impstuosty of the more popular branch
| of the national congress, and wealth may tend
to independence of thought and action. Bot
these qualities will always largely dominate
| this most august OF political Rssemblies-e,
least so long as the present mode of election is
northumberland loss of their wholesome in.
| fuence need not be apprehended. Rather
more to be apprehended il n lack of those
| qualities which are young, active and pro-
| gressive and in touch with the people.
A government OF the people should progress
with the people. Art science, religion and all
other departments oil human genius. iaitn and
enterprise are advancing with giant strides.
and with them should advance popular COS ern-
Inent aud the sacred observance of civil and
political rights
The great and growing West believes this,
but none more zealously than our own state.
| The center OF population, which has been
steadily owing westward, has not only reached
our borders but with Ii the center OF industrial
enterprise and development. With fertile
and varied soil, rich and extensive fields of
coal, gas, oil aud stone, frugal, industrious
end enterprising people. nothing but uu-
wise state or national policy, or other misfort-
une. can stay our progress.
IL is because believe that these ideas are in
harmony with him. and be with them, that
nominate tor senator of the United States the
| Hon. Charles w. Fairbanks, q man OF the
West-selt-made. young, able. progressive and
in the prime of life. with honest pride in the
| honor OF his state and an intense interest in
| her prosperity. No man holds more sacred
| than he the civil and political rights OF the
| hembiest citizen. To him the frugal cottage of
the lsbOring man should be ss free from un-
| just burdens as the palace of the millionaire.
| " ealth and stston receive at his hands no
| higher recognition than honesty and worth.
| lie meets and greets all alike.
1t 1. true he is n party msn-put he fights in
the open field. No opponent has yet to hunt
| him in ambush. His party feslty is.the honest
| conviction OF an unbiased mind, and in this, as
| in all other things In which he believes, he is
| intensely in earnest.
For these reasons and because Ar. Fairbanks
| is the most popular republican in Indiana
nominate him for u. S. senator for the state of
| Indiana.
Mr.. Fairbanks nomination was sec
onded by Sulzer of Jefferson county and
Meredith of Delaware. Mr.. Sulzer' 0
speech proved him to be easily one of the
| leaders OF the republican side of the
house. Mr.. Meredith followed Mr.. Sui
ger in a short address.
