Griffin. Grtsbam's representatives
included C. w. Fairbanks of Indian
apolis, State Senator Robert Graham
aud Col. Henry Drew. The apparent
strained relations between the follow
ers of Harrison and Gresham were
mentioned and both sides recognized
the folly of friends of Two Indiana

attack or attempt to undermine each
other; that both sides should do the
best they could for their mem, but all
in the fTiendliest spirit, and that the
