from whom learn that there is q deep rooted
and well-grounded sentiment springing up in
favor of nominating Gen. Benjamin Harrison,
United States Senator of Indiana, for the presi-
dency in 1888 Representative men of both par
ties in the Nation have expressed their opinions
to me that he is undoubtedly of the greatest
and purest statesmen and soldiers in this Nation,
or any nation. An ex- Democratic Congressman
from Pennsylvania, in conversation with me a
few days ago, while travelling from Philadelphia
to Pittsburg was frank TO acknowledge that
Gen. Harrison would secure the Republican NOM
nation in 1888 and that he would be elected, as
there not Democrat within the bounds Of
the Union that could defeat him.
General Harrison could have been the candi-
date and the President in 1884 if the Republic
ans of Indiana had been united. This is admit
ted by the Cincinnati Enquirer and the entire
Democratic party. Give US Tippecanoe, of Indi-
ana, in 1888. Press onward"

Temperance Legislation anu the rarity
To the Editor or the Indianapolis Journae
/ have read the resolutions lately adopted by
the Republicans who assembled at Indianapolis
on the subject Of local option and high license,
and such of the speeches made as were reported
I have the highest respect for the men who
assembled there, but if their object was to infu
ence the action of the coming Republican State
convention, am compelled to differ with them
and say to the convention, don't do it. The
reasons are, it seems to me- so obvious that
nothing more need be said; but will state some
of them, briefly:
Fust-Loca option in the platform will not
give the party a single Democratic vote, but will
drive hundreds away who prefer to vote the Re-
publican ticket.
ed by the Republican party 1t has either resulted
in disaster and defeat or made the State doubt
full and uncertain, and, worse still, the law has
not been enforced.
Third-Each Republican can, at his option,
pass prohibitory law for himself which no
Democratic Supreme Court overthrow, and
that is more than can be said for any other local
option law. He must then wait, in States so
closely divided as Indiana, until his Democratic
neighbor shall become weary OF further adhesion
to the regular sumptuary' bill of fare provided
for him by his party, because the Republican
party alone is not strong enough to enforce pro-
hlDltlon In any form.
Fourth-It is not probable that more than
twenty of the ninety-two counties would vote
down the liquor traffic at this time, and it would
be better to remit the question of local option
and high license TO the nominating conventions
of the several legislative districts
Fifth-The St John third party cranks and
soreheads are more hostile to both these meas
ures than the Democrats, and hence support
can be expected from them. They will either
vote their own or the Democratic ticket, and the
latter for commercial reasons only.
