Jackson County Politics.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
A telegram from Seymour, Ind, appeared
in the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune Aug.
20 stating that the Republicans of Jackson
county had joined with the dissatisfied
Democrats in putting out a county ticket
The Republicans of Jackson county are GO
ing TO put out a straight true-blue ticket
of stalwart Republicans. and if there are
any dissatisfied Democrats in the county
they will have the privilege OF casting their
votes with US in preference to the one NOM
mated a few weeks ago by the Democratic
primary. The proposition made for the Re
publicans to join the Democrats in putting
up a county ticket was not conceived or
made for the benefit of the party, but was
originated directly by a few Republicans
and Democrats for the local interest of Sey-
mour in the county seat matter. The Re
publicans of Jackson county, and especially
those in the western part of the county, will
never tolerate the prostitution of the Re-
publican party for local interests The
county convention will be strictly Repub-
lican. and the ticket strictly Republican

G. A. r.. and Our New soldiers.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Please allow me a short space in your
paper on a subject which concerns the SOL
diers of the late war and those of the lat
est war. According to Colonel Wessent, Of
Milwaukee, who makes a statement in
Chicago paper, there will be move in the
G. A. r. national meeting, at Cincinnati,
to admit our soldiers of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war as members of the Grand Army.
The colonel seems opposed, saying, 1T will
admit ex-Confederates" 1 answer, what if
it does? Cannot we be charitable and fair?
This war has obliterated all sectional lines
and brought the 'old boys" of the North
and South together under old glory, to fight
for humanity and America one. Cannot
we drop these differences and mingle to-
gether in the G. A. r. as we'll as on the
field? l say yes; come, let us rejoice to-
gether as one and pledge anew our fealty.
l hope to see such action verified unani-
blood to carry on the work after we are
gone; we need their push and vim which
will carry the @. A. r. for fifty years to
come after We old men have passed be-
yond. If that excuse was tenable. how many
of the boys of the South who were in the
rebellion are in the present war? They are
few and scattering. But few of the old
soldiers of the North are in the field to-
day; we are too old. Those of the South are
young men, mostly, as OF the North. Let
us drop the old scores and shake for union
and liberty; shake hands for one country
and one flag Life is too short with us to
continue the old fight We are brothers for
one common country AS soldier of four
and one-half years service in the Thirtieth
Indiana and a Republican 1 say, Let US
have peace in the language of our be-
loved Grant. Whte-winged peace is hover
ing owe" our land. Let us not put up bar
amid our rejoicing over the victories our
boys of the army and navy have achieved
They have placed our flag and our Nation
in the forefront of the nations, thanks to
their valor and true American grit. May
God grant all safe return home to enjoy
the fruits of their patriotism is the prayer
of the Nation. N. N. BOYDSTON.
