while indiana is one of the most prosper

for. he said 1t was not his wish to make a
speech. That he had attended only for the
purpose of hearing our big.hesrted and big
Drained Senator, Daniel W. Voorhees,. He
said that in s'tributiug these characteristics
to his friend Voorhees,, he did not wish to be
understood as speaking disparagingly Of our
other Senator. as he considered Senator Har-
rison q gentleman OF ability and thought
that Indiana, as whole, could afford to be
proud Of the ability of her representatives
in the United States Senate.
