Postmaster Langham Replying to Indiana Senate Fight
Postmaster J N Langham responds to Matthew Clark Watson in a public letter over the Indiana county senatorial race. He jokes about Watsons withdrawal, praises public generosity, cites conflicts with party figures, and proposes mock resolutions blaming Langham for Indiana counties lack of Senate representation while reaffirming his own postmaster duties. The exchange reflects local political intrigue and factional maneuvering in the era.
