Y The Atlanta party met and boarded the
south bound train at Odell station several
miles this side of Gainesville, where they found
asThe lion of the tribe Of Judah" in shirt
eleeves, and the gallant young Indianian in
Rong flowing buster. Messrs. Frank Arnold
and W. I. Turnbull, who were the partys es-
Eort from Washington City, introduced the
gentlemen to each other and it was not long
Mntil General Phil Cook, who had served in
Che war and in congress with Mr.. Mills, enter
Rd into friendly converse relating to incidents
Pf war and legislation, which soon made the
whole party of listeners feel entirely at

cared for. In the meantime movement had
foeen made which threw the ground into the
possession of the federas, and the dead Nc
EMERSON fell into the hands of his own people.
(Since the war Mr.. Mills has served con-
ktnuous term of fifteen years in congress-
A1r Bynum, when asked whether
Ehe nomination of an Indianian for
Ehe presidency by the republicans would make
any change IN the result in that state. he
Gaughingly replied:
ooh, no, not by any means. live in the
Same ward in indianapolis with Mr.. Harrison.
MIR Harrison is eminently respectable, cold
and aristocratic. He lives in high latitude
SO high indeed, that even his senatorial asso-
ciates when he was in Washington felt chilled
in his presence. From this you may be certain
shat he has made no impression upon the
masses. Indiana votes $4,000. The demo-
cratic plurality is from six to eight thousand.
This small majority in the face of such vote,
emplies vigilance and active political fighting,
but tire majority, small as it is, is a safe one,
Snore thoroughly organized than any political
tparty in any other state in the union. The
4aboring men are opposed to Harrison. The
greenbackers are violently opposed ITO him,
consequently he has nothing to hope for from
voters not in sympathy with the two leading
parties. He will carry the full republican
strength, but not vote will he get over that
strength. On the contrary Mr.. Cleveland is
much stronger in the state than his party, and
as likely to poll stronger vote than the rest
of the ticket"
"What effect will the Mills bill have upon
Ehe result in Indiana?'
"The people of Indiana. democrats as we'll
gas republicans have for years been far in adj
vance of their colleagues in the other states
Hn 1S43 Governor Whtcomb wrote pamphlet
Ihpon the subject of tariff, which was SO cogent
AN reasoning that 1t found Endorsement even at
%hat early date, and for years the democratic
statesmen of Indiana, such as Joe Mcdonald
and others, have been in favor Of just such
action as has been reached by the Mills bill.
sThen, again, Mr.. Harrison is gaining nothing
lin his party by recalling the memory of his
grandfather. 1t is notorious fact, which will
soon be made public in a pamphlet, that
EANilliam Henry Harrison, when governor of
1.-THE northwest territory, recommended and
fought for the introduction of slavery into the
Northwest, so that if Mr. Harrison Introduces
This grandfather, he will have to introduce his
entire record and when thatrecord is placed be-
fore the c9lored voters they will hardly be
pleased with it.
7 "The presidential race will probably be very
CLOSE in Connecticut New York regard as
absolutely assured now, and New Jersey has
ALWAYS been safe democratic state. You can
fput it down that Cleveland will be reelected"
{ On reaching Atlanta delegation from the
Young Mems Democratic league made their
appearance, and escorted the distinguished
kyisitors to the arcade of the Kimball house,
where large number of citizens paid their
respects to Messrs. Mills and Bynum.
