REMARKABLE FOR ITS YOUNG MEN.
indianapolis Saturday Review.
The State convention was remarkable for the
number of young men in attendance, both as
delegates and visitors, and the absence of many
of the old-time leaders The Republican party
of Indiana is in a state of transition from the
old to the elements. and it will be developed
before November that the element has a
great deal of vivacity about it. This is going to
be thunder and lightning campaign.

majority of the candidates. beginning with Gov

largely their campaign, and they will work as
they have never worked before.
DID ITS WORK WE'LL.
Lafayette Courier
The Republican State convention has come
and gone. 1t did its work well and the result
will meet with the hearty approval of the party.
1t was one of the most exciting, well as one of
the most enthusiastic and interesting gatherings
held in Indiana in many years. Every delegate
and every visiting politician was thoroughly i'm
bued with the faith that the campaign would
end in victory.
IN ALL RESPECTS STRONG.
South Bend Register.
The Republican State ticket is in every re
spects strong one in its personnel, its location
and the spirit in which it was nominated; and
the platform adopted is broad enough and
on. With all this in its favor and the added
impetus of an ION" year, if the Republicans do
not elect it bodily it will be their own fault
GOOD, HONEST AND CAPABLE.
Washington Post (Dem.).
The Republicans of Indiana have honored
themselves by nominating so good a
William H. Calkins for Governor. This is a
presidential year, and the Democracy have need
of Indiana, so Mr.. Calkins will probably not be
elected. But he is good man, an honest capa-
BILE man, and much the strongest candidate the
Republicans could have had.
A WISE SELECTION.
Philadelphia Press.
In presenting Hon. W. II. Calkins as the can
didate for Governor, the Republicans of Indiana
head their ticket with man who has won honor
able distinction in Congress and shown that he
possesses, in marked degree, the qualities of a
high executive officer. The selection is wise
one, and will be help to the national ticket in
Indiana in November
WILL BE MISSED IN THE HOUSE.
National Republican,
Hon. William H. Calkins was yesterday nom
mated by the Indiana Republicans as their can
didate for Governor. Indiana is pivotal State,
and the convention did we'll in putting a strong
man in the field. Mr.. Calkins will adorn the
office of Governor of Indiana, but he will be
missed in the House of Representatives.
oALKINs OF THE BLAINE MOLD
Terre Haute Express.
Calkins is of the same mold which produces
men like Blaine. He is product of the Repub
Gcan party which brings to the front young men
who love their country; who stand up before
the people with all the courage of a self made
man, and claim that credit that is due to per-
severance and study.
A WAY THEY HAVE.
Pttsburg Dispatch.
The Indiana Republicans have rather smart
way of picking out their best Young men for
Governor in the presidential year Hon W. H.
CalklnS, whom they nominated yesterday, has
made good record for himself in the present
Congress- and will be likely to improve it in the
opening campaign,

did splendid days work, nominating an eXcep-
tionaliy strong ticket formulating a ringing

thusiasm never before eXcelled.
ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT A BLEMIsH.
indianapolis German Tribune.
They may say about Thursdays convention
and liberal man than Calkins could not have
been nominated. There is not the least blem-
ish upon his character
TRIBUTE TO HIS PERSONAL APPEARANCE
Wabash Plain Dealer.
In addition to his splendid qualifications for
the office of Governor Major Calkins is the
handsomest man in the State. We submit that
it is no small thing to have handsome man &C.
cupy the Governors mansion.
A YOUNG MANS TICKET.
