understood better than Mr.. English that II he be-
gan the canvass with a lavish expenditure OF

policy from this moment until sundown upon the
day OF election. isnecessary to spend 100000 or
half million to carry Indiana Mr. English will
spend the money, but he will do It as he has
every business transaction of his life, with
the absolute knowledge OF receiving sub
stnntial benefit In return. All efforts Of the
democracy TO induce him TO change his plans have
been unavailing. They have even threatened to
force him of the ticket If Porter should be elected
but neither threats nor plcudmgs have induced
him to change his determination. saw him for a
moment, just long enough to say, "Will tho ropub

Mr. English, and his manner was so calm and DIS
Interested MS TO convince me that he was master OF
the situation, and that when the proper time came
he would sec that Indiana went democratic.
When you get above the "bummers' and the crowd
OF fellows hungcring for dollar. in Indiana poll
ties aud among the leaders, find that this Is ex-
aetly their understanding and appreciation of Mr..
English's position.
