have reflected honor upon himself and credit

toned in connection with exalted political posi-
tons in the past few years. For months before
the national convention met this year he was
conspicuously spoken of as a possible vice-presi-
dental nomiue e in case the head of the ticket
were taken from some other section OF the coun-
try. The selection of Gen. Hovey for Governor
demonstrates that the Indiana Republicans have
determined to wage an aggressive and earnest
canvass from this time onward until the close OF
the polls on election day.-St Louis Globe

The Republicans of Indiana adopted q long
platform. = = = Compared with the Demo
cratic platform. it is infinitely the stronger.
Compared with the Democratic party. the Re-
publicans offer Indiana this surety: That II put
into control they will restore a fair ballot; will
end the pfamou prostitution or the States
benevolent Institutions, and by honest civil
service reform take them forever out OF politics,
and will pass a law permitting local self-govern-
ment on the liquor question. These are things
OF greater Importance TO Indiana at this time
than any other, and none OF these things does
the Democratic platform promise, and none or
licans nominated their strongest man for Gov
ernor. Last week We believed and said that
Porter was the strongest man for the place
Events since then wrought q change, and, when

strongest man it could have nominated. it had
the acumen to see this, and it then did take It's

been presented with q candidate for Governor

brilliant, honorable to its maker, Gnd

q young man he was a member Of the conyen-
ton that made the Constitution under which the
State is to-day administered. He has served
with credit as a judge of two different courts.
one the Supreme Court Of the State. He has .
fine reputation 40 an able lawyer. He has been
the United States district attorney for the State.
He has been member of Congress. a foreign
minister, and as q soldier he has a glorious war
record. Surely. if ever q man has been tested
on all sides for capacity for public affairs. Hovey
has been. Added to this. he is q man of attract
i've personal qualities, and so we repeat. the Re-
publicans have nominated their strongest man.
The nominee for Lisutenant-eovernor, also q
soldier, has elements OF strength which the con-
vention recognized by his unanimous nomina-
ton. The enomination of the old ticSet for
State officers was q foregone conclusion. In the
person of Mr.. GrifSths a capable and energetic
young man was chosen for Supreme Curt Re
