Special to the IUdianagoiis JeurnaG
MADISON, April 10 The Republicans of the
Fourth congressional district met at the court
house in this city at P. NJ. to-day, every county
being fully represented. Hon. Marcus r.
Sulzer. of this county, district chairman, called
the convention TO order in an eloquent and
mastery address, in which he showed that the
Republicans met under more brilliant auspices
than in 1884. when Kansas, Ohio Pennsylvania
and other Republican strengholds had Demo-
cratic Governors, ali of which are again in Re-
publican hands; that the Republicans had
seventy more trustees than in 1882 and forty
eight more than in 1884, that Democratic ma
iority in this district of 500 in 1882 had been
melted u less than ssJ IN 1856, and the Demo-
Gratis had thirty-seven to thirty-six trustees in
this district, which indicated that the drift was
in favor of the Republican party, and that the
Republicans always carried the State in Novem-
Der il they secured majority Of the trustees at
th preceding April election; therefore Indiana
would be Repu blican. The chairman then al
luded to the various candidates for national
honors, not forgetting Mr.. Blaine as an excan-
didate. but in his conclusion be captured the
convention when he told how Indiana WAS
necessary TO Republican success; her contribu-
tions of men and treasure to
the country; that she sheuld unitedly
present the name of her distin gushed
favorite. Gen. Benjamin Harrison. He then.
in glowing language and brilliant manner,
portrayed Harrisons record a soldier and
statesman. and his influence as citizen. When
