Tns CANDIDATES.
$50 far as your observation goes Mr. Pulitzer how
are the candidates regarded BY the peoplcfn
"lndiana Is conspicuously an agricultural State.
More than half OF her voters are honest farmers who
have all high regard for their Blue jeans They be-
eve him TO bo an honest and honorable gentleman,
not so cultured and refined as Mr. Harrison, but pecu
harly adapted by Of his oddities to please the
masses. He has been idcnuned with the agricultural
interests OF Indiana or nineteen years or moro and IS
weil known and liked by all farmers"
Al this point veniurcd 30 suggest Mr. Harrison's
name. Nj Pulitzer disposed OF him as follows
Harrison Is intelligent and all that, bui he has had
naught TO do with agriculture and possesses no quail
ties which make mon popular with tho masses Now
Blue Jeans has been. SO prominently identified with
The farmers that they feel kindly"
'But Harrison" +" suggested
Harrison cannot overcome the like these blunt and
honest fellows feel for Williams The condcm nation OF
his opponents oddities simply endears the latter IN the
affections OF these people and assists materially In roll
ing up his vote"
From Harrison and Williams we spoke OF Julian. or
him Mr. Pulitzer expressed himself as ioows:--
"Julan's work has had very excellent effect in
Indiana, because OF his advantageous standpoint His
speeches are ablo and powerful and his record is
assailabie Morton can do nothing with him. Morton
forced q war campaign; Morton seeks TO put the
present under cloud and trot out the dead past
vving things forgotten and forgiven This his chief
ammunition, but Julian deprives this knight OF the
Sorrowul Figure oil his means OF assault"

Let me show it to you.n Mr. Pulitzer hcreupon pro-
duced the unfortunate letter OF Fitzpatrick to Governor
Hayes 1t had genuine look aboutii and as gazed on
the writing and thought OF how It's genGlncness had been
admitted by the republicans could not help but pom
der over the harm 1t has done hcm among the lnd,-
anians. The words, "A bloody shirt campaign with
money and Indiana is safe; financial campaign and
no money and we are bcatcn stared at mo with start
ling vividness They were underscored

proved by Governor Hayes and his party neither 50
