ing that time | went rapidly
through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin and Michigan and | am
very sorry that / shall have to
make a rather discouraging report
to the committee if they want to
know the facts. Ohio will surely
be Republican. Indiana, l think,
will give Harrison reasonable
majority. Why, the people there
are enthusiastic over him, and
there is a general cry for his cleo
ton. | do believe that there are
places in Indiana where it is dan
gerous to mention Cleveland's
name, but, of course, there is
much enthusiasm for him in the
large cities, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Michigan are, am afraid, pretty
certain to 60 for Harrison. When

response to an invitation from the

spring letter, and shows his great
interest in the success of the ticket.
Patrick Esgan OF Nebraska, ex-

months of September and October.
Hans Mattson, Secretary of the
