attention of the Presidents bride to some palpa-
BILE facts that will suggest themselves to any
thinking mind after moments reflection 1t is
too bad to do this, but now that it has been done
the wonder is that it was not done sooner. The
correspondent says:

will be regretted by all the people of Indiana
who knew of the Generals distinguished serv-

man. To many it will come with the shock
of an almost personal bereavement. The
Generel had numerous friends, formed in days
and amid scenes wherein friendships once
made are never broken. General Gleason was
man of whom the State was properly proud,

mourned.

THE Bynur managers, with the same serene
Indifference that has marked them from the
first, met here yesterday, and succeeded in
having their so-called congressional district
committee pass resolution sdeclaring Mr.
Bvnum to be the regular Democratic candi-
date, and also constitute committee of FIVE
Bynumites in each county to take charge of
the congressional campaign. The Marion
county chairman, Sim Coy, protested against
the action, while the Madison county man took
no part in the proceedings. The action was
taken by the Hancock and Shelby county
chairmen, aided by Mr.. Jackson Landers,
who so deity packed the ominating
convention in Mr.. Bynum's interest Of
course, there is nothing legally or morally
binding upon the members Of the party in this
district in any such action, and it should go
for no more than the individual expressions of
the persons who made them. The unusual
and novel plan of appointing five men to take
the campaign work out of the hands of the
county committees shows the straits to which
the Bynumites are reduced. The Bailey men
met last night, and adopted resolutions declar-
ing the action of the Bynumites null and
void, and ordering the county commit
tees not to put Mr.. Bynums name
on the tickets, : but to place that
of Leon O. Bailey upon all the regular
Democratic ballots. 1t thus appears that the
fight is to continue to the end-a contest to
see whether the bulldozing tactics Of Mr.
Bynum shall prevail, and whether the
Democrats who are honestly opposed to him,
and who honestly believe his nomination to
have been unfairly secured, are to be ground
into the dust. It is square-toed proposition,
whether there shall be Bynum dynasty OF
