Iayette last week. that the former bitter
opponents of Hon. e. S. Orth, in the Re- It
pupllcan party, were foremost and warm
est IN their advocacy of the resolution
passed recommending him for Governor
oI The State. We are glad to note this
TACT, and glad that the Tippecanoe Con
Ventlon was held so early, that the truth,

the State. Mr. Orth is very strong at
