IT WAS EUT NATURAL.

This resultant lukewarnness was only nat.
1ral, but no: for momeEt did the governor
admit that the dissatisfaction with the ad-
ministration was the disappointment over
the slow distribution of spoiis. He pictured
the zeal of the Indiana democracy, which
had been so chilled by the administration,
Is something better than the office-seek:ng
spirit. 1t was the strongest type of party
fealty. To question if personal
pride in the candidate had helped
General Harrison to carry the state, he said
that some voters had probably been intlu-
| enced by that feeling, but not many. No
other conclusion could be drawn from the
returns. When all were in, he thought that
it would be found that General Hovey, the
republican nominee for governor, and the
most of the state ticket had run pretty close
to Harrison and Mortou-at any rate
within a few hundred votes. Governor Gray
referred to the returns from this (Nsrion)
county, as dispelling any theory that state
or local pride in the candidates had had
much to do with tho result. Marion county,
the home of Harrison, gave plurality for

PERSONAL ANTAGONISTS.

To the inquiry if he thought the personal
fri 7nds of Hendricks had been lukewarm be-
cause of the feeling that the president had
not treated the late vice president fairly, the
governor replied that that might have been
the case in some instances, but he did not
think personal antagonisms were to be con-
sidered responsible for the results.
''W hat will be the effect of this upon the
democratic party?" he was asked. xviii it
cause the darty to recede in any degree from
the position on tariff reform?"
NO" he replied promptly AID with en-
il has chosen. When patty has taken a
position it believes and feels is riglt, it
makes nothing by abandoning or changing
the position
lyon think then, that this campaign
doesn't end it: that the tariff question will
continue to be the great issue between the
parties and the democrats will stick to their
side?''
"Yes, do" said the governor: aud he
went on to ampiify his view, that the demo-
Gratis should. without the slightest waverirg
maintiin their position on this issue. and
keep up the fight in succeeding campaigns.
While he looked upon the tariff QUE stion a
only minor factor in this particular con-
t st in Indiana. he thought il was the great
issue in the country at large. and that the
democracy vould eventually win by stickiny
to their side of it consistently. He declared
emphaticaliy that il would be the grea.e 8.
folly for the party to retrace its steps or in
any way TO dodge the issue, and expressed
great confidence that the democrats would
continue the fight for tariff reform more
aggressively than ever. Governor Gray was
asked if there was any tariff reform signif-
rance IN the gain of democratic cong ress-
men in Indiana.
40" he replied, ''the gain only restores
cur losses of two years ago We get back
districts which we lost in 1886, because of
personal or fractional disturbances"
''If am to be quoted" he said as the con-
versation drew to a close, 81 wish to be un-
derstood as at.rib1ting the defeat in Indi-
ana to the fact that it was impossible to
awaken the enthusiasm of the democratic
party: such enthusiasm I mean as made the
party go wild for the ticket in 1884, and the
reason it was impossible to awaken that en-
thusiasm was because the Indiana democra-
cy had not recovered from the feeling of dis
appointment over the administration s
course. In saying this, do not mean in
any degree to reflect upon MIR. Cleveland.
