here comes that man from Indiana.
As soon os the news flashed over the wires yes
terday that the Chicago Convention had made q
nomination, every Republican from the Atlantic
to the Pacific became Harrison man by accla-
nation
BE not scared to death. Messrs. Democrats;
this is not going to be, as you are saying,
"another log cabin and hard cider business
For 1888 is not 1s40, and as the country has
changed. methods have changed But the men,
ory of Tippecanoe will haunt YOU, all the same.
AS the log cabins made mischief for you in $40,
the factories and workshops will make life
burden to Mr.. Cleveland this year, and the dinner
pals may prove more deadly than the cider
barrels.
The Democrats who spoke Of Indiana as a
doubtful State will see the necessity OF apollo
giving to General Harrison.
What is Blaineism? Republicanism. Who
are the Blaine conspirators? Republican dele
gates who are seeking to defeat the Democratic
enemy and its free-trade President. What is the
real object Of the Blaine plot? The protection OF
home industries and the vindicaton of American
ideas.
The bandanna hung at half-mast yesterday.
Democrats explained that it dropped because of
the heat. And they were right-t was overcome
by a hot Harrison wave from Chicago
Yes. it runs in the family. Harrisons grand
father was President of these United States.

been supcrlative folly

To the Democracy of Indiana: Where's the
sonse of running an electoral ticket against Ben
Harrison? So long as he is bound to have the
State by rousng majority, why not make it

The Democrats are calculating upon the vote of
California now, Just they were calculating on
n victory in Oregon q few weeks ago. But the

for free trade.
General Harrison fought bravcly for the red,
white and blue, and the boys in blue who prefer
the star-spangled banner TO the red bandanna will
naturally rally enthusiastically to his support.
President Cleveland made Indiana less doubt
full than it had been by upsctting the political as
pirations Of It's candidate for the VccPresidency.
The Republican Convention has completed his
work by genuine Hoosicr nomination which will
take the State out of the doubtful list altogether.
The soft-hcadcd, hard-hating cranlSs, who have
been writing lurid nonsense about the Blaine
