THE INDIANA SITUATION.

It is to be hoped that the Gresham Har-
rison situation in Indiana will not be misun-
derstood in Minnesota. the sentiment in
this State is more nearly crystallized on
Gresham than on any other man, and for
this reason any misapprehension as to the
state of affairs in Indiana is to be deplored.
The st. James Journal, for instance, fears
that the election of solid Harrison delega-
ton from Indiana will hurt Gresham's
chances. Even if solid delegation had been
elected the Gresham boom, which is as wide
as the country itself, would not be impaired.
But the simple fact is that at ieasp ten and
probably thirteen of the otwenty7six delegates
already elected In, Indiana are original
Gresham men. They will vote for Harrison
long enough to demonstrate the hopelessness
of his candidacy, and then the whole delega-.
ton will be pumped for Gresham. That is
the situation in Indiana-Minneapolis Jour-
nal.
The situation in Indiana should not be mis-
understood, either in Minnesota or elsewhere,
and as we think we KNOW. more about it than
our Minneapolis contemporary does we will
briefly state it for general information and
guidance. A ''solid delegation" for General
Harrison has been elected from the thirteen
congressional districts, and the statement or
insinuation that ten, or thirteen, or any other
number, of those already chosen delegates
prefer Gresham, and will 60 to Chicago to
vote for General Harrison in a perfunctory
way, but really in order to bring about con-
tingency wherein they can abandon Harrison
and go their original choice, is simply to
say that there are so many men in the delega-
ton who are dishonorable tricksters. We do not
believe there is one such on the delegation,
or that there will be one such in the entire
thirty whom Indiana will send to represent
her in the national convention. Twelve out
of the thirteen congressional districts passed
resolutions instructing their delegates to use
every honorable means to secure the nominal
ton of General Harrison, and in the thir-
teenth the two men selected faithfully pledged
themselves to that course of action. No man
in the State of Indiana could have been
would have announced himself opposed to
the nomination of General Harrison
or in favor of the nomination of any other in
preference to him. These twenty-six dele
gates either sought or accepted the trust COM
mitted to them in this manner. 1t is entirely
a representative and specific duty, and it can
not be discharged honorably by mere per.
functory vote or istless effort. The Journal
has no idea that single one Of the twenty
six delegates already chosen, or Of the thirty,
as they shall be after to-day's convention,
need a word of defense from the dishonorable
suggestion made by the Minnesota advocate
of another candidate; but we do believe it to
be important and essential to fair and clear
understanding that the truth be told and
known about 1.-THE Indiana situation" And
this is it.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says:
'The debate in the Senate will do good in
reminding the country of the history that
has been made and the lessons that should be
read in it." We think that will be its chief
value. 1t may help to arrest the tendency
to confuse history and to make it appear
that ex-confederates and their Northern allies
are the patriots and soldiers friends while
those who stood by the government throughout
the war are now the enemies of peace, and
the proper objects for denunciation and de-
rision.

SENATOR INGALLs's allusion to the Louisi-

from that State to their feet. Louisiana is in
all respects the most degraded State in the
Union. Its population is the most hybrid and
the least American, its institutions are the
least republican, and its politics are shaped
by the Democratic party and the Louisiana
lottery. No wonder Democratic majorities
continue 70 grow there for weeks after an
election. The two Senators from that rotten
borough are fit representatives and defender
