An Admirer Formally dominates Him fol

Washington Special to New York star.
A prominent indianian, not In Office, and moi
seeking Office. but possessed, nevertheless, oil
active interest in politics, and in position to
know the exact situation of affairs in his State,
said to me to. day: II read the tribute to Col.
Charles DENLY IN the Star, of Thursday, with a
great deal of pleasure, but cannot approve of
the suggestion OF his name in connection with
the senatorship. There is reason why he
should not be drawn into that contest, but should
be held in reserve as it were by the party for a
much more important contest of national in
stead of only State wide consequence, two years
hence. l refer, of course to the presidential
race, and think can demonstrate to you that
he would make an exceedingly strong vice
presidential candidate Indiana will be an in
huential factor in the fight, and this
last canvass has left in condition requiring
that the man we put forward to represent US
shall be as nearly possible without objection
To take a leading representative of either of the
factions in the State would be to re-arouse many
of the differences with which the party has just
been torn. We must turn, therefore. to some
man not identified with any OF those factional
differences but possessing traits and talents
and alignmeDts calculated to insure him the
united support OF the whole party. Now. can
you name me a man well known throughout the
State and accepted in nost of high honor as
one of her most deserving Democratic represent
atives who would rise more commandingly to
the occasion than Colonel Denby3 He lisa man
of mature years-ffty.fi five probably-of ripe
learning polished in address and experienced in
affairs; never an ofice-seeker. but always a
hard and loyal party worker; a speak
er or note ana powerful and
felicitous writer, and in sympathy with the hest
thoughts and purposes of the day. He led an
Indiana regiment to the in defense of the
Union and served with distinguished credit 1t
strikes me that all of these things considered,
he is the very man for tho second place the
next Democratic national ticket. / assume of
course. that Indiana will be necessary to sue
cess then in 1884, and that the first place will
go to the East.
Colonel DENLY" his friend continued. us
pleased with his present post, and is making q
capital represent tive there. And this will add
to the weight of bis name at home; for to sue
ceed In diplomacy should, and does testify to a
mans qualifications for the highest order of pub
lie trusts. / ask you now to mark what say.
1t is no hasty Judgment; opinion formed at
haphazard and having only the partality of
friendship behind it; but the clearest sort of con-
Vcton, resulting from careful study OF the
whole situation. Colonel DENLY is the coming
man in the affairs of the Indiana Democracy
and should be taken into serious account in max
ing any states with that State as possible de-
Gliding quantity"

Treasury Department that the public debt state
ment to be issued tomorrow will show de-
