LETTERS OF AQCEPTAIfCE V alp Ait Also, Ind , J une 21st, 1880. Hod. B. O’Brien, chairman democratic conveution of the 10th congressional district held at Monticello, Ind., June 16th, 1880: Diab Sib: Tour communication informing me of my nomination as the candidate of the Democratic party for congress, by the convention over which you had the honor to preside, has been duly received. I fully appreciate the honor of being the standard bearer of a party possessing such aprestige of strength, of numbers and of history, in a day when the welfare of the country demands the best patriotism of all its citizens. Conscious of the weight of such a public trust, and with an earnest desire faitnfully to meet its responsi kilties, I accept the honor conferred, and hope when the campaign opens to make a thorough canvass. If elected, the federal constitution shall be my only guide, and my constituents my only masters. I pledge myself to oppose all attempts made by sham statesmen and demagogues to perpetuate the unfortunate seciioaalism which for many years has keen the bane and curse of the country, and shall use my utmost exertions in all honorable ways to allay the unholy strife engendered between the north and the south by the late civil war. “Let the dead past bury its dead.“^ I pledge myself to appose the prefect tendency to centralization and consolidation of power. Ours is an indissoluble union of indestructible states. The constitution reflects the genius of the patriotic and far-seeing fathers of the republic. With equal liberality and justice it charters the powers of the federal government and preserves the rights of the states. — We should earnestly oppose all encroachments of the one upon the other, and preserve and hand down to posterity that safe and just balance which our fathers established. I esteem it to be a sacred duty, in cumbent upon every legislator, to labor to secure a fair and free expression of the will of the people at the polls; and that will, as expressed by the ballot must be respected and oqeyed. The financial policy of the republican party has not kept pace with the rapid growth of our nation’s trade and commerce. In the history of the country, periodic business depressions and monetary panics have been a reproach to the statesmanship of our nation. In view of our bountiful harvests, our inexhaustible resources and the industry and enterprise of our people, these ort recurring seasons of bankruptcy and ruin are unnecessary and without excuse. To remedy this great evil. I am in favor of maintaining a sufficient volume of currency with which to transact the immense and increasing business of the country. This currency should be issued by the government only, and, in my judgment, its volume should be controlled by the people, so that contraction and expansion may not De effected by banks and syndicates to subserve their interests. The currency should consist of both paper and coin, of equal value, and should be a legal tender for all debts, publie and private. I am in saver of the unlimited coinage of silver as well as of gold. lam opposed io the system of funding the national debt for long periods, and am in favor of paying it according to contract, as soon as practicable, having no sympathy with that English sentiment which esteems a national debt, a national blessing. Grateful lor rne nonor conferred, and resolving that no act of mine will ever displace the confidence reposed in me. I remain, my dear sir, Your obedient servant, J. N. Skinned.

Valpabaisq, lad., June 21st, 1880. Hon. Leroy Templeton, chairman of the national greenback congres sional convention, of the 10th district, held at Monticello, Ind., May 20th, 1880: Deab Sib: Your committee appointed to inform me of my nomination as the national greenback candidate for congress, have discharged that duty. It is needless to say that I feel highly honored by this rea-sntion of your confidence. Two years ago I whs made your standard-bearer; and it is one of the pleasaut things of memo ry that the party bravely stood by me till the votes were counted. That gallaut struggle, though apparently a defeat, was not wholly so. I showed us the strength of the national greenbackers in this district and gave us encouragement to try again. Knowing something of the work before mo, and recognizing the responsibility, I accept the distinguished lionor, and intend, when the campaign opens, to makeja thorough canvass. My views are well known to the national greenback party of this district. The financial policy of the party in power has not been adequate to the demands of our trade and commerce. The periodical monetary panics and business depressions have been a reproach to the statesmanship of the nation. The recurrence of these periods of bankruptcy and ruin is unnecessary and without excuse. I am in favor of a sufficient volume of good, honeat national currency, of both coin and paper, with which to transact the immense and increasing business of the count) y This currency should be issued by the government only, and its volume should be controlled by the people, through their representatives. It ehould not be leftiu the power of bangs and syt« dicates to contract and expand the currency at will. The currency sho’d consist of both paper and coin, of equal value, and should be • legal tender for all debt*, public and private. I would favor the payment of the government bonds in accordance with the original contract, and as rapidly as possible. In order to meet these obligation*, we should substitute legal tender currency for the notes of the national banks. lam in favor of the unlimited coinage of silver as well as gold. I shall favor the restoration of harmonious and fraternal feelings between the north and south. We sho’d hasten tho day when all bitter feelings engendered by the civil war shall give place to that higher patriotism which kuows n* sectionalism, and which is necessary to the best interests of our common country. I shall favor legislation which will secure honesty and economy in the administration of public affairs, the purity of the ballot box, and the faithfcl execution of the laws. And now, thanking the convention for the continued confidence reposed in me, and for the high honor con ferred, I remain, dear sir, Your obedient servant, J. H. Skinneb. Get your gloves and fans at Mrs, Healey’s new Millinery Store.

A singular and very fatal cattle disease has broken out in Lancaster county, Pa. The cows all appear healthy up to the moment of being attacked by the disease. Then they are instantly a.tackec with a spasm and appear,Jp be in great pain, and after turning round and round in a small circle for several times, they drop and never get up again, some of them lingering a whole day before dying. The cow doctors have been unable to discover the cause of the disease or give any relief.

Under the postal laws if yoi spoil a stamped envelope or wrapper you can hare it redeemed at its face value at the post office. When postal cards were introduced postmasters were instructed to redeem such as were spoiled before using at the late of four cent 0 in stamps for every five cents in face value of the cards. Many postal cards are spoiled in printing, others in directing, and many printed cards are unused. These can all be exchanged at the rate mentioned. A stranger appeared at the Louisville post office last week with one or two thousand of these postal cards per day ior several days in succession. The cards were redeemed, but the clerk inquired, to satisfy his curiosity, where the stranger got them. He said he was buying them at various business houses, paying forty or fifty cents per hundred for uselesr cards. Sometimes he paid as high as sixty cents, and offered one firm seventy cents for a large lot, but jt was refuted.

Is a compound of the virtues of sarsaparilla, stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful blood-making, blood-cleansing, and life-sus-taining elements. It is the purest, safest, and most effectual alterative medicine known or available to the public. The sciences of medicine and chemistry have never produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so potent to cure all diseases resulting from impure blood. It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas, Rose, or St. Anthony’s Fire, Pimples aud Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, Boils, Tumors, Tetter, Humors, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm, Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weaknesses and Irregularities, Jaundice, Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia, Emaciation, and General Debility. By its searching and cleansing qualities it purges out the foul corruptions which contaminate the blood and cause derangement and decay. It stimulates and enlivens the vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores and preserves health, and infuses new life and vigor throughout the whole system. No sufferer from any disease which afises from impurity of the blood need despair who will give Ayer’s Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with the numerous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, and without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-purifiers, while disease becomes more firmly seated. .Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is a medicine of shell concentrated curative power, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-purifier known. Physicians know its composition, and prescribe it. It has been widely used for forty years, and has won the unqualified confluence of millions whom it has benefited. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. 1. We, the Democracy of Indiana, in Delegate Convennon assembled, congratulate the Democracy of tha country upon the harmony prevailing within its organization, and upon its unanimity in the purposes to cast behind it every eccaeion and sentiment of discbrd, and to stand as one man foe success in 1880; and we give assurance to the Democracy es the country that, accepting the ceclaration of principles, and purposes, that may be made at Cincinnati, and the candidates who may be there chosen, we will give to them our earnest and undivided support. 2. We believe that laws should be enacted, executed and administered only for the public good, and all class legislalion, and all favoritism in the affairs of Government, should be defeated and made odious; that taxes should be levied justly, affd the most rigid economy should control public expenditures: that the elections must be freed from the control of the army, and of partisan officials, in thatthey shall be fairandhonestasthey once were; that the rightful jurisdiction of the State Courts must he restored, in all cases where it has been usurped by the Federal authority, so that justice may be administered cheaply and speedily. 3. The coiu and paper money of the country should be of uniform value, and readily convertible, and should have as great purchasing power as the money of other first class commercial countries of the world, and the paper money, like the coin, should be furnished by the United States, and should not be in excess of such qnantity as will be, and remain always, at par with coin. 4. Inasmuch as the outstanding Treasury notes are no longer neeessary to the Government in the use of its credit, and are useful only as money, they should be made subject to taxation, the same as other money.

As tax payers, we declare our gratification at the action of the Democratic members of Congress in reducing public expenditure, and in cutting off the allowance and payment of questionable and fraudulent claims, resulting in a saving to the Treasury of more than $100,000,000. 5. We will stand with all our might against the aggression of the Republican leaders npon the rights of the States, made for the purpose of building up a strong central power, dangerous to the liberty of the people. We will in all fidelity maintain the Constitutional rights and powers of the United States, and as faithfully we will maintain and vindicate the rights of the States as reserved to them in the Con stitntion. ti. The Legislature of 1870 is entitled to honorable mention for having redeemed the pledges of the Democratic Convention of 1875 to provide by law for the comfort and safety of laborers in tin l mines, and for securing their wages to the persons employed by corporations, and we arc in favor of such further legislation in the premises as may be necessary and proper. We congratulate thepeople of the State that by the action of the Democrats of the last Legisla Hire in basing representation on population and contiguity of territory only, the shame and tain ol fraud have been removed from the apportion rnent of representation, and that now the people will he equally and fairly represented. 7. The people of Indiana are justly proud o'' their system of free schools, and will maintain them in their full force and usefulness, and to tha: end we must see to it that the management there of does not become wasteful or extravagant, and that no part of the munificent fund which they have provided shall he used for sectarian or for any other purposes whatever than the support of common schools. 8. We are gratified that the Democrats in Congress have acted in respect to bounties and pensions forsoklics and their families in the spirit of justice and liberality. 9. We hold up to public detestation the conduct of the lenders in the Republican, party in placing Ilayes and Wheeler, by criminal practices shocking to every honest sentiment and damaging to our institutions, in offices to which they were not elected. It was an outrage npon free'government, and a crime against the elective franchise that can not be forgiven, and must not be repeated, and for which the guilty parties must be driven from power and consigned to infamy. And we hold up to public detestation tte conduct of the President in rewarding the guilty parties by conferring upon them high and lucrative offices. To reward crime is itself criminal. 10. During the past, few years our country has been blessed in a high degree with favorable seasons, and the production of our valuable staples has been enormously in excess of our own consumptioiv We have sold to foreign countries many hundred millions more than we have purchased' from them ; gold and silver has come to us; business confidence has been restored, and we have the hope and promise of good times again. In all this we recognize the blessing of God upon our country, and we denounce it ns false and blasphemous when partisan leaders claim that this is the work of their hands, and that the people should he thankful to them and not”grateful to Heaven for our returning pios’perity. 11. We approve the sentiment expressed by Governor Hendricks in his letter of acceptance in 1870, rhat “the iniquitous coolie system which, through the agency of wealthy companies imports Chinese bondsmen, establishes a species of slavery, and interferes with the just reward of labor on our Pacific Const, should be utterly abolished.” 12. Our State administration is entitled to the respect, and support of the people. The government of Indiana is efficiently administered, and more cheaply than that of any other State. 13. That we recognize the right of colored citizens as well as white to immigrate into Indiana, but we condemn and denounce the action of the Republican party in importing into this State pauper negroes for the sole purpose of using them as voters. 1 f. Wc hereby insaruct our delegates to the National Convention at Cincinnati to present, to that body the name of Thomas A. Hendricks as a candidate for President of the United States, one who has at all times faithfully maintained the causeof Democratic truth and justice acceptably to the Democracy of the whole Union, thus assuring the election of a Democratic Legislature and United States Senator in 1881. and a fresh, pure and constitutional administration of the General Government. 15. We favor the continuance of the two-thirds rnle in {the National Convention, and the dele gaies tliio rlav chosen are hereby instructed to vote for Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks as our candidate for the Presidency, and to vote as a unit on all questions in said Convention.
