A CARD.

Editor Republican. Sir:— lu reading your excellent newspaper to-day I saw in it a paragraph credited to the People's Press , of Kentland, which says that while conducting the Rensellacr Union X “coddled the rag baby.” I infer from Uiis statement that the Press would create the impression that at one time I advocated, editorially, or personally, or both, the heresies of the Independent-Greenback party. This impression would not be true. Files of the Union and of contemporary journals of the Tenth Congressional District, together with hundreds of Intelligent persons in Jasper county and other parts of the State will bear testimony that the Union and myself.from the commencement of the discussion of the financial question, which was settled by the enforcement of the resumption laws, were constantly in the front rank of those newspapers and men who were outspoken and determined opponents of inflation and the quasi-repudiation dogmas of that mistaken and signally unfortunate political organisation. I f there is in the United States a more pronounced advocate of hard money and sound-cnrrency principles than my humble self, I have not the pleasure of knowing it Very respectfully, Hob acre. Jaxis, Rensselaer, Ind., Nor. G., 1879.
