Hon. G. r. Worrall, OF Bloomington,
Joint representative from Monroe and
Brown counties, and whose time is given
now to booming Hon. George M. Cooper,
of Columbus, for Congress, said: Nv
have several candidates down our way.
First, we are solid for Colon Q
Matson for Governor. think the people
of Monroe County would march in solid
phalanx to the polls to cast their ballots
for Congressman Matson as candidate.
Next 10 him, / know OF no man whom
they you'd prefer to Captain w. r. Myers.
The Captain has many stanch friends in
Monroe and Brown Counties, but Colonel
Matson is practically one of US, and to
him we shall give our strength and
support until there is no longer a posi-
bility OF his nomination. Then We will 90
TO Myers, if need be. This is the sentiment
of the Democracy in my part of the
State"
Commissioner G. F. Nation, Owen Coun-
fy, declared himself as favorable TO the
nomination of Colonel Mstson for Govern
or. THE voters in my county" he said,
s'are unanimous for the selection of Con-
gresham Maston as the Democratic stand
- -, rynrIId ant
Captain w, r. Myers. Either of these
gentlemen would be satisfactory, but of
course our preference Is for Matsou, who
has given such general satisfaction as
member of Congress"
James Reuie, OF Jennings County, edi-
tor of the North Vernon Sun, is an enthu-
slastic supporter of Green Smith, whom he
regarded as the most available candidate
for Governor.
Ex-senator James Willard, OF Bedford,
Lawrence County: II was in favor OF
late convention. 1 think 1t was our duty
to see what the opposition will do. Our
candidate for President is assured. Mr..
Cleveland will unquestionably receive the
Democratic nomination, and we should go
slow, so as to draft a platform that
will meet the issues that may

Niblack. We regard him as man possess.

dare
Webster Dixon. the silver tongued era
tor OF Columbus, said: II have conversed
with many OF the leading Demo
Gratis of my county regarding the
Democratic candidate for Governor. There
is division of sentiments. First, Matson
is preferred. Holman is talked OF a great
deal. He is favorite with many Demo
Gratis in Bartholomew County. Green
Smith has a warm spot in the hearts of our
people. and is a second choice as a candi-
date tor Gubernatorial honors,"
Hon. NJ. J. Niblack, of Vincennes, said
that the people of his county were divided
by choice for Governor, and he preferred
not to express an opinion thereon, espsc-
tally as his father, Judge Niblack, had been
mentioned in connection with the Gubern-
etorisl nomination. Knox County, how
ever, would do her duty, no matter who
the Democratic convention placed at the
head of the ticket,
Martin T. Kruger, of LaPorte county,
well known as a candidate on the last State
Democratic ticket, said that, while there
was division of sentiment in his county
as to the candidates for Governor, there
seemed to be growing feeling in favor of
Niblsck. Colonel Matson also had strong
following, and Charley Jewett was receiv-
ing some support.
Reuben Daily, editor of the Jefferson
vile News, said: There has been no for
nation of sentiment in Clark County. The
Democracy is not united on any particular

MatsOn. while Bynum has some advocates
Clark County, however, will be satisfied
with any good man at the head of the
ticket"
G. w. Schneider, Recorder of Floyd
County; I'VE have a local candidate in
Charles Jewett, and we will do all in our
power to secure his nomination. Aside
from Mr.. Jewett there is no preference,
Isaac P. Leyden is a candidate for Congress,
and will certainly be successful
Senator Urmston, of Brookville, said:
''The Democrats of Franklin county are
favorable TO Matson. Bynum is second
choice. as yet, however, the sentiment OF
may be some change"
B. F. Strauser, of Washington, Davies
county: sour people are equally divided
between Judge Niblack and ex Congress
man Cobb. No other candidates are talked
of. Of the two named 1 think Cobb is the
preference. Dsviess county will be salts.

unite and harmonize the party. Success
is Of more Importance than men,"
Senator French, of Lafayette, did not
think the Democracy of Tippecanoe had
united on any one candidate. The SOL
der element" he said flavor Matson.
Others look to Bynum as being able to
control the labor vote. Myers is wanted
by many because of his great popularity,
bis service as q soldier, and for his splendid
record as public officer and citizen. Judge
Niblack is admired for his old time De-
mocracy. The voters can, l think, unite
on any of the gentlemen named"
Patrick Keefe, Kentland, Newton Coun-
ty: SIN ability and availability know of
no man who can better head the State
ticket than Captain w. r Myers, ex Secre-
tary of State, and 1 can safely say that the
people of Newton County are equally as
favorable to his candidacy as / am. The
people of our congressional district are
ag.iculturisls, and want to take issue in
the campaign upon the tariff policy of
President Cleveland"
