The Laporte Herald advocates the
nomination of Governor BAKER as
the Republican candidate for Chief
Executive of the State. 1t will be
seen from its remarksfhat he is quite
as popular in Northern Indiana as
he is on the Ohio. The Herald says
$50 far as we are individually con-
cerned, however, from the light new
before us, we should decidedly favor
the nomination of the present incum-
Dent, Governor Conrad Baker. He
has made an excellent executive, and
we all know there is no truer Repub-
lIean or more honest man within the
limits of the State His private
character is without stain, and his
every public act will bear the closest
scrutiny. When we have such men
in Office it is well to retain them. and
particularly to give them the honor of
an election to an Office which they
have temporarily filed. We believe
the nomination of Governor Baker
would give very general satisfaction
to the Republicans hereabouts. At
all events, when other candidates are
being urged, we do not think it out of
place to say that he will fad warm
supporters in the northern part of
the State a~fas1

ever; the hotels, too, are receiving
some patronage; but, compared with
the midsummer glories of former
years, they are as banquet halls de-
serted" They do not fiji the place in
the public eye-do not reflect in the
glass of fashion, as of old. Resolute
and vivacious reporters essay, ever
and anon, to galvanize them into old
life, but the ancient spirit has gone
out of these places, and the glory
thereof has departed The reason of
the change is manifold. The suddenly
made fortunes lavished of late years
at watering places have so eclipsed in
showiness the statelier elegance of
. old families y that many of the latter
have retired from the Notifying con-
test. Again, private cottages and
pleasure grounds have encroached on
the sphere of public resorts. Since
Downings day, the science of land =
scape gardening and cottage architec-
ture has taken such strides as to react
on the attractiveness of hotels. The
ease, too, with which Europe can be
reached, makes the pleasure resorts
of that continent desirable for Sum-
mer travel and residence. From
these and other causes. the old-t time
brilliancy of the watering places is
dimmed. Now and again some re-
porter's enthusiasm flashes out, but
the veteran jenkins finds, in the
main, his occupation gone.
