HOW THEY STAND.

The Washington coriespondent of the Indianapolis News, says: “The Indiana democratic congressmen may he classed as foillows on the subject of the repeal of the silver purchase clause of he Sherman law. For unconditional repeal, Messrs. Bynum, M artin,Cooper and Brown; against the repeal of the silver purchase law (unless a silver substitute is provided form the repealing act), Messrs. Holman, Conn, McNagny, Tavlor, Bretz, Hammond and Brookshire.”

The Luke County News adds: — “The ai ova statement is absolutes ly accurate, although some further explanation is i eeded to clearly state the view of those who oppose the repeal of the silver purchase law unless a silver coinage act is substituted. Messrs. Holman, 'Hammond, McNagny and Conn may be classed as e< nservas Eve bimetal fists. They f :vor the continued coinage of silver at an increased ratio and with certain restrict ons to insure parity. Mr. Taylo. is a strong.silver man. ivir Brelz favors the repeal of ail legislation enacted since the demon etizdtion act of 1873, and a return to tl e original proposition of free and unlimited silver coinage. Mr. Brookshire is an ardent free coinage mm, is said to have hem the only democratic member of the Indiana delegation who attended the fr-e silver caucus yesterday. Messrs. Johnson and Waugh, republicans, will probably favor unconditional lepeal. Congressman Hammond has secured a good y number of chancres i* l the post offices of this district, since his arrival ; n Washington. Jos. G Hunt, of Gillam, father of our Record-.-r, has leased his farm and moved to Medaryville. From 'lie tone of our neighbors this week one would conclude that the “calamity hmvlers” have broken loose in earnest. Our friend, Joe Meyer, of Pittsburg, Pa., is visiting parents and friends in Rensselaer for a short time.
