newspaper of northern Indiana, pub
fishes an interview with Ex-Governor

liable. The interviewer says:
Saturday afternoon | gave MIR. Hen.

He readily laid the papers aside and
gave himself so completely to the visi-
tor that was led to believe it was a
matter of mutual enjoyment. The
conversation took a wide range, refer

what ne regards as the most fectiye
speech of his career in the senate Of
the United States, dining with Chas
