n name, too, that will bring victory in one of
the strongest Of the doubtful states !ndl
representing the first district Of Indiana in
the lower house of Congress, il the man
would name TO take the place Of the lamented
Logan on the ticket for isss. II Is Il name that

Gen, AiNan p Boyey was born in Mount
| His life has been busy one always.
| He was lieutenant in the Mexican war, aud
, fought the war Of the rebellion through from
| the start, 10 the finish. He was IN as many
| hard'fought battles rs amy man living. He
| was always at the front. | think 1t safe to
| say that he commanded troops In over forty
| battles lie commanded 1900 Indiana soldiers
| In battle at time, and was In command OF
over tD,OGO Indianans during the war. No
| man since Morton has been as strong with the
| soldiers in Indiana as Ilovey, and no man Is

| Democratic soldiers than any state in the
| Union. ON strict party lines II is slightly
| disturbed and iuli Republican vote polled
| with Avian ?. Ilovey on the ticket both con
state who can get to the polls will fail TO he
there to cast his vote for the gallant lioosiel
| soldier and thousands of Democratic soldiers
! and their friends will also vote for him.
II was the tail of the Democratic ticket that
| carried Indiana in 1884, not the head, Blaine
! is as popular as any Republican in Indiana, il
MOI more, 50; but Hovey can carry the state
| with whirl, When his record is known his
| name will be monument of strength also IN
! every state north wherever loyalty, courage,
| campaign scandal can be raised against ii
| His popularity will grow from the day he i
| nominated, and the more his record is looked
| up the brglterit will be-
| Let Republicans look at the man as he Is to
| day and study the record he has put upon the
| history of his country, and believe there will
| be the same unanimity of opinion as to his avail
| ability for second place AS there is undoubted
! certainty Of Blaine for the first place. Blain,
| and Hovey sounds well, looks we'll. and l.
