INDIANA,

Colonel Calkins, who has been nominated by
the Republicans for Governor of Indiana, is a
man of ability and character, and one of the
strong members of Congress. Born in Ohio,
and forty two years old, he served the country
we'll for four years in the field, and has served
it honorably for seven yearsin Congress. With
other strong candidates named, who were also
worthy of high honor, he was preferred on the
first ballot by fair majority, apparently be-
cause, in the Judgment of delegates, he would
make the strongest run.
With Blaine, Logan and Calkins for candi-
dates, the Republicans of Indiana ought to be
able to give a good account of themselves in
November, no matter whom the Democrats
nominate. 1t is suspected here, however, that
the nomination of Mcdonald for President by
the Democrats is the one thing that would make
the cup of joy overflow for the HOosier Repub-
Gcans

Gratis

We are told that the Saratoga Convention
which refused to instruct for Cleveland was a
very harmonious body. Well, it was, but it
is interesting to note how the harmony that
pervaded it was secured. The machine which
was pushing the fortunes of the Governor was
not long in discovering, after the delegates came
together, that the maintenance of its ascen-
dency was conditioned upon backing down on
all the leading cOntroverted points.
Accordingly, in the interest of harmony and
an intact machine, it proceeded to back down
1t was violently opposed to allowing Tammany
the representation it demanded. But it backed
down, and Tammany got the representation. SO
also it was violently opposed to the admission
of the Monroe delegation, headed by the Gov
ernors dearest foe, William Purcell. But it
backed down, and Purcell and his associates
took their seats. Again, it was violently OPP
posed to allowing the anti-Cleveland element
To name two of the four delegates large to
the National Convention. But it backed down,
and John C.. Jacobs and Lester b. Faulkner
were elected. Finally, to cap the climax, it was
violently opposed to sending out platform in
which Mr.. Cleveland was not formally named
as the choice of the Democracy Of the Empire
State for the Presidency. But it backed down,
sesf The Convention instructed for nobody.
1t thus is made 80 clear that hc who runs may
read. how the Saratoga Convention secured the

CLEVELANDS STRENGTH.

1t is melancholy, but something of the sort
was to be apprehended. One well-known
Democratic politician from this city, it seems,
informed his party friends at Saratoga that
Cleveland could not carry this State if he
should be named as the Democratic candidate
for President Could not the man keep still
Then he added, "Who is Cleveland. or what has
he done to entitle him to the Presidency He
is an accidental man." TIE TRIBUNE has
had this impression, but did not care to men
ton it.
On the other hand, a delegate of the County
Democracy hoped the delegation would unite on
Cleveland, and added, " 1t is true that he might
"lose many thousand Democratic votes in this
= city, Brooklyn, and Buffalo, but the loss would
be more than made up by the votes of indie
"pendents" Counting any kind of chickens be-
fore the eggs are Matched is proverbially unsafe.
But of all kinds of chickens, about the most un-
safe to count at that preliminary and embryOtic
stage is the kind now calling itself Indepen-
dent" The usual discount on that breed is
about 50 per cent.

SJrSpJCJOUS OBJECTIONS.

On the 4th of this month the House Commit
tee on Public Buildings reported that the
charges that had been made against the
Treasury Department in connection with the
selection and purchase of the Brooklyn Public
Building site were absolutely without founda-
ton. Nevertheless Mr.. Holman, true to his
character of "the great objectOr," made q
motion to recommit the report with instruc-
ticns to the committee to reopen the investi-
CATION. This motion, for some reason which
has not been explained, prevailed. The result
was that the investigation was reOpened.
On Thursday the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds made another report. Again they
gave the Treasury Department clean bill Of
health, and again a motion was made TO re-
commit the report General SlOcum stOutly
resisted the motion and secured its defeat
During the course of his remarks he took
occasion 10 pay his respects to Mr.. Holman for
his maladroit services in the premises. He
spoke of the Indiana statesman as the tool of
certain real estate lobbyists. Holman denied
that he was anything of the sort. But if Gen
eral Slocum failed to do him justice, it would

until Just before the Saratoga Convention, a
month after the Legislature adjourned, when
the Governor found his hope of political pre-

official, the bill was vetoed because OF
alleged defects, that are not pointed out, and
which cannot be found. And that is called

Where we'd live in peace thereafter,

And the gold had turned TO gray.

the Late Judge Waite.

The funeral obseques of the late Judge
Franklin H. Waite, whose decease upon
Tuesday appeared in the GLOBE of yesterday,
will take place to-day at 2 p. IN. Judge
Waite was born in Windham county, Yer
mont, in February, 1918, but removed with
his family to jamestown, n. B., when but
three years old. He began the study of
law at twenty, with his father, who was
very able attorney of his0day.
He was admitted by the supreme court
three years later, and began at once a very
successful career as a lawyer. Ten years
later he was appointed judge of the court of
common pleas, which position he held until
the court was abolished by law.
In 1860 he removed to Mankato, Mimi,
with his family, where he began the practice
of law and became mt once leading attor-
ney. In 1867 he was elected state senator
and served his district with zeal, integrity
and ability. Two years later he was elected
Judge of the sixth judicial district, in which
there was but one Democratic county, and
wherein he had the support of but one news
paper
In 1874, suffering considerable incon-
venience from the effects of Bright's disease
of the kidneys, he resigned from the bench
and was persuaded by his friends to make
the canvass for congress against Mr.. Dun

independence in the support of what he
deemed honest and right. He was an I'M
