IND1ANAPoLIs, June 1.-Two thousand
Hoosicrs wearing black cashmere high hats,
white satin badges and light canes and headed
by two bands will march into Chicago on next
Monday afternoon waving red, white. and blue
handkerchiefs and will unfurl the standard OF
Benjamin Harrison. Indiana is for Harrison
in dead earnest this year. In tho past sho has
given to him only perfunctory support. Now
she believes that she is tho preordained battle
ground and that the grandson OF old
Tippecnnoo is the man to lead tho
Republican party to victory In 1883. or
tho Republican leaders in the State
probably ninety per cent. are strong supporters
OF Harrison. The recent Republican State
Convention was completely In their control,
and tho instructions to the delegation to the
National Convention were to support Harrison
rs long as no had n chance OF nomination.
One OF the delegates thus instructed is said to
have succumbcd to outside pressure Tor
Gresham, and to be ready to bolt Harrison, but
no other detection is probable, and even with
Harrison out of the race. 1t is understood that
moro than half of the delegation would vote
for another candidate than Gresham.
These Indiana Republicans have long men,
ories. A great deal of the opposition to Gen.
Gresham springs from the fact that he defeated
Oliver p. Morton when the Indiana Republicans
wanted the old war horse for President in 1876.
In that year Judge Gresham headed Il faction

The sherman and Harrison men seem to feel

main dependence of the Harrison men, how

Gen. Harrison will lie placed in nomination
at Chicago by ex-Gov Porter, an eloquent and
able speaker. Mr.. Porter was elected Governor
in 1850, and will be nominate ed for that Office
