quarters both at the Palmer and the

night. Indiana was one OF the four
states who cast her vote solid yesterday

as to weaken Cleveland in his own state
and scatter his votes. The Indiana dele

said he thought IL was made up OF four
elements: Firbt, nearly all Of ClevelAi.d's
strength; second, lingering sentiTcri
| Of states rights as indicated in the South
| Carolina vote; third, the puTar Oi the
machine; fourth, disposition to r, as,
any demand made by Kelly.
