New YORK. Oct. l9-The Express
says the recent improvement in general
business. is the growing conviction that
the railroad war is nearly closed ard
large traffic in trunk lines doubtless in
creases confidence in railway property
and makes stocks more active. The
rise in wheat in Chicago to-day though
small compared with yesterday. and not
fully sustained. the heavy receipts o.
wheat at lake ports generally. have in
fluenced the market considerably. The
Northwestern railroad is reported crowd
ed with business, and the Eastern roads
are similarly burdened with freight from
Chicago.
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 19-The Demo
Gratis celebrated their victory last night

My Fsllou Citizens: I neither sought,
desired, nor expected the nomination
for the Of ce to which have been cleo
ted. 1t was the free-will offering of the
great party which I appreciate in the
highest degree. The people have ap-
proveh and endorsed that nomination
by nj election. I feel thankful to them
for it Ind will labor to make them the
only turn in my power. tho only re-
turn which they will accept: faithful
discharge of the duties of the office. l
had long and important connection
with the legislative department of the
State, and it is gratifying to me to know
that in the fierce political contest thro'
which we have passed and which scarce
ANYTHING has escaped examination, no
faalt has bsen found with-not even
ysriticism-of my legislative record. A.
Ter the close of that legislative service,
it is very gratifying to me to receive
from the hands Of the people the high
es. elective Office of the State. While I
experience the highest appreciation of
the honor which has been done me,
would not utter one word or sentiment
in the spirit of cxultation. My full IN
derstanding of the responsibilities of
this occasion made it improper for me
to indulge in such speech during the
contest. have been the object of po-
litical and personal criticism. I wish to
assure you come out of the struggle
with kind feelings toward all; and no
personal or partisan bitterness will en-
barrass me in the discharge of that
high Office rs the representative of the
whole people. Ny fellow citizens. 1
congratulate you upon the result in In
diana, in respect to its influence upon
the national contest now pending. IL
has been felt by both parties and by
the people Of other States that the re-
suit in Indiana would have great in.
fuence in every section of the country
upon the Presidential election, and as
the national result involves, as I be-
lieve, considerations of purity in govern.
ment, economy in expenditures. and the
fraternal relations between great sec
tlons, am greatly rejoiced that the
State which has been my home from my
youth up has thrown her great influence
upon the side which l believe will pro-
mote the honor of our country and
prosperity and happiness Of the people.
