In an interview printed in the Philadelphia
North American, Judge Fairbanks as he is
called, is reported as follows:
al fnd,' said Judge Fairbanks, chat very
many people have erroneous ideas of Judge
Gresham's standing with the Republicans of
Indiana. Because the delegation has been
instructed for Harrison, very many Repub-
hcans have jumped at the conclusion that
Judge Gresham is unpopular at home. Just
the reverse is the case. He is, perhaps, the
most popular Republican in the State. Gen
eral Harrison, however has the support of
most of the political leaders of the State.
Notwithstanding this, the friends of Judge
Gresham elected a majority of delegates to
the Chicago convention, but rather than have
a contest in the State convention, they con-
sented TO the proposition Of instructing the
delegation for Harrison so long as he had a
chance of securing the nomination. firmly
believe that Judge Gresham will secure the
vote of the Indiana delegation on the third
ballot The delegates are at heart for him."
The Journal can scarcely believe that Mr..
Fairbanks could have made such monstrous
Misrepresentation as the above. He knows,
as does every one else, that there is scarcely
word of truth in the entire paragraph.
What is not absolutely false is mere assump-
ton. The idea that the friends of Judge
Gresham elected majority of the delegates
to the Chicago convention as against General
Harrison, and then that they consented to the
instructions for General Harrison rather than
have contest! On the contrary, Judge
Fairbanks we'll knows that in no district con-
vention in this State could a man have been
elected who would have declared himself
favorable to the nomination of Judge Gresh-
am over General Harrison, while in the State
convention it became necessary to defeat so
good and popular a man as General Shackel-
ford simply and solely because the indiscreet
friends of Judge Gresham bad put the Gen
erals candidacy in antagonism to General
Harrison, and had ShackeIford been chosen
would have claimed it as a defeat for
Harrison. What any sane man expects to
gain by the dissemination of such misstate-
name of the Republicans of Indiana the Jour
nal stamps them for what they are. General
Harrison is the choice of the Republicans of
the State; he is fairly, honorably, squarely
their choice. The delegates to Chicago are
men of honor and standing and they are not
''at heart" or in any other way, the dastards
and tricksters that so much effort has been
expended to prove them Again the Journal
asks what is to be gained by this coursef

GENERAL HARRIsoNs popularity in Indi-
tary Of States Office, which show that when
he was voted for directly by the people in
1860, 1864 and 1876, his vote was fully up to
and ahead of the average OF the ticket, and
that when, in 1880 and 1886, he was the
avowed candidate for United States Senator
the vote the legislative ticket was
far beyond the average of the State
ticket in those years. In 1860 he was
the candidate for Reporter of the Supreme
Court and his vote was only 60 below that of
Henry S. Lane, who was elected Governor,
and it was fully up to the average on all the
rest of the ticket. In 1864 he was again
candidate for Reporter of the Supreme Court,
and ran 169 ahead of the average majority on
the ticket In 1876. when he led forlorn
hope. having been put on the ticket for Gov
ernor when the campaign was more than half
over his vote was 1,604 ahead of the balance
of the ticket. The most remarkable showing
however, is in the vote on the legislative tickets
in 1880 and 1886. In the former year the av-
erage Republican majority on the State ticket
was 1924, while the average on the legisla-
tive ticket was 10,367, gain of 5, lob. In
the latter year the average Republican major
ity on the State ticket was 1850, and the av-
erage legislative majority was $3.50, gain of
$3.50. In each of these elections, while not
being voted for directly by the people, it was
we'll known that he was to be the candidate
for the Senate, and the vote for legislators
was predicated on that candidacy. These
figures show that General Harrison is much
stronger than his party in Indiana, and that,
if nominated for President, he can bring sue
cess in this necessary, pivotal State, without
any doubt whatever

INDIANA THE KEY TO THE SITUATION.

INDIANA THE KEY TO THE SITUATION.
Senator Voorhees, speech nominating Gov.
Gray was good speech in its way. 1t was
not eulogy of Gray, though it said enough
In praise of his political merits and services
to the Democratic party. But the speech was
not framed on that plan. Its main argument
was to show that Indiana was the pivotal
State and that its vote was absolutely essen
tial to Democratic success, with the obvious
inference that Gray could carry the State.
The main point was strongly enforced. Mr..
Voorhees, did not hesitate to declare that the
vote of Indiana was essential to the election
of Cleveland. After reciting the historical
fact that Indiana had voted for every Dem
ocratic President elected since her admission
to the Union in 1916 he said it must be so
this year if the Democrats were to succeed.
We quote his words:
"Grover Cleveland and whoever else goes
on the ticket with him, will be reelected this
fall with the vote of Indiana. or will not be re-
elected at all. Make no mistakes. l know of
Whatever influences destroy Indiana, destroy
every hope and vestige of success"
This is well said, and there is no mistakiug
its meaning. We make an allowance for the
heat of oratory and for the speakers desire to
press the point he was making, but there is
the plain admission of Democratic Senator
that the Democrats cannot hope to succeed
without Indiana. Again, referring to the
closeness of the State and the necessity of
strengthening the party lines, Mr.. Voorhees,
said
Indiana will cast 500, 600 votes at the APP
preaching election, and with that enormous
vote there is simply plurality between the
great parties of 900 or !, 200, no majority-a
bare plurality. You can imagine, then, what
the shock of battle Is there. You can imagine
how important it is to US to have every atom
of strength, personal and political. which we
can obtain, in order to hold our hard pressed
lines. Recruit the critical point of the battle
field, if you are wise. The key of the situa-
ton is in Indiana"
This is the same argument in a differ.
emit form, showing the necessity OF
saving Indiana II they would save the cleo
ton. Senator Voorhees, is authorized Il
| speak for his party, and on this point We will
| take him at his word-that Mr.. Cleveland can
not be elected without the vote of Indiana
We believe he was right and probably the
convention thought so, too. but it did MOI
agree with him as to the best mode of secur
ing the State 1t declined to nominate ar
Indiana man with quarrel on his hands, and
| endeavored to heal the rupture by nominal
| ing Thurman. The fact remains as Mr.. Voor
hees said. that ''the key of the situation is il
Indiana" and that Grover Cleveland will BE-
reelected with the vote of Indiana or not a.
all He can be prevented from getting that
vote and from being elected by the nomina
ton of General Harrison at Chicago.

A DAY or two ago the Chicago Tribune
printed a special from one of the chief towns
in the northern part of the State, represent
ing that leading Republican, hitherto known
as friend of General Harrison was now ad-
vocating the nomination Of Judge Gresham.
The Journal has received the following letter

create false impression respecting Indiana
