original son of Ohio. grandson of the great gen.

citizen of a close State, he has some exceptional
strength for the nomination. 1t would be onli-

parties to seek outand promote men OF sterling
worth, like Harrison. whose civil and military
record is without blenish

for him, talk for him, siugsfor him, dance for
him, and, If necessary, fight for him.
Muncie Times: The Democrats in Indiana
are passing through the ve-yard-their

West. than any other man mentioned in that
connection.
Vernon Banner: Ex-senator Mcdonald
thinks it most likely General Harrison will be
nominated for the presidency. Indianas choice
is well qualified and adapted for the race as
any man in the country.
Liberty Herad With General Harrison as
the standard bearer, Indisna's electoral vote is
certain to appear in the Republican column and

consequent blessings to the whole country.
Greensburg Review: General Harrison's pros-
poets for the presidential nomi nation are
brighter than ever, since the recent elections in

elect President.
Richmond Palladium; If Harrison cannot be
nominated no other Indiana man can't is Har-
rlson or nothing for Indiana. There is no
question with Indiana Republicans upon this
point. The effort to antsgouize Harrison with
Gresham is made outside the State, not in it,
1t is unfortunate for Judge Gresham that this
effort is made; it will be still more unfortunate
If 1t is persisted in at the convention.
Hendricks County Republican: The sentiment
OF Hendricks county is practically unanimous
for Gen. Ben Harrison for President. There
are plenty of men in this county who voted for
the Generals grandfather IN 1840 and they
want to celebrate the Hfti6th Anniversary of
that great national event in 1890 under auspices
that will be coincidentally historic and heroic.
With General Harrison as President in 1890,
the event may be fttingly designated as the
golden wedding of the past and present.
