Mr.. Kerr says he may have been innationst, but
he has changed his views, his right Yes, and the
difficulty is that he may exercise his right to change
them again and get back to his original fundamental
position. Our faith in Mr. Kerr's consistency of

weeks.-Cincinnati Times rep
1t is reported that Governor Hendricks has formed
nm alliance with Mr. Kerr to hoist him into tho
Speakers chair. Indiana is getting very ambitious
She wants both Presidential candidates and the
Speaker. It surely cannot be that Governor Hendricks
in this way seeks to have it known he has given up all
hope Of the Presidential Times
