only a beginning. The attorneys for
the state say they will stop the suits

INDIANA NOMINATIONS.

Gov. PORTER, of Indiana, failed to
bite at the gubernatorial bait that HAIR
RISoN'S friends threw out to him at In
dlanapolis yesterday. Gov. PORTER is
an old politician, who knows on which
side of his bread the butter is spread.
He is looking forward to opolitical prefer
ment in the future, and didn't care to
be mixed up in the Republican wreck
next fall. PORTER is shrewd enough to
foreSee that HARRISON is bound to 90
down; and, as for himself, he didn't
care to be tied to HARRIsoN'S coat-tail
in the descent. The Republican man
ayers were exceedingly anxious to
have PORTER for their guber-
material candidate in Indiana be-
cause of his popularity with the
worlingmen. HARRISoN's labor record
is his weak point, and it was thought Ivy
his managers wise move to fortify it
with PoRTER'S nomination for COVER
nor. 1t is said that PORTER was willing
enough to take the nomination, pro-
vided his canvass could be separated
from the national canvass, but he was
unwilling to assume the task of carry
ing HARRISON through the campaign.
1t was too big job for even a man of
his caiiber to undertake: therefore he
concluded to let the nomination slide.
The nomination of ALVIN p. HovEY
is equivalent to an abandonment of the
state of Indiana by the Republicans.
1t was conceded on all hands that PoR-
TER was the only Republican in In
diana who had show for carrying the
state. And of all the others who were
named in connection with the nomina-
ton, HOvEY possesses the fewest ele-
mentS of strength.
