A BIG POUR" DELEGATION.

The Republicans of Indiana are in dead
earnest respecting the nomination of Gen.
Ben Harrison as the candidate for President.
There is no "favorite SON business about it,
nor mere complimentary regard for him; but
they are for Harrison, and for Harrison all
over, because, in the first place, they are Re-
publicans. and desire the election of Repub-
hcan President; and in the second place, be-
cause they believe General Harrison to be
eminently qualified to ill the place and
eminently worthy the honor. If Indiana
Republicans believed there was another
man in the United States more likely to Sc
cure the necessary votes to be elected. they
would not tenaciously adhere to General Har-
rison; but they know his nomination makes
not only the State Of Indiana certain. but
insures as many Republican votes in aud
from other States as any Republican can COM
mand. General Harrison In rs strong every
where ms any other Republican, and he Is ex-
oeptionally strong In Indiana, and for that
him and will urge his nomination upon tho
national convention.
How to do this the most effectively 10 tho
question. The duty Of the State convention
on Thursday will DO to select four delegates,
and four alternates. who will be the best able

Harrison. No question Of locality, Of por,

the choice. Let Indiana 60 to Chicago with

and fraud by which the votes of the States

which turned the scale in his favor by beg
carly plurality of less than LOO, had been
secured by combination of ignorance and
fraud, manipulated by professional corrup-
tionists. The party that elected him was
very hungry and thirsty, and of the millions
who had voted for him a large majority had
no other motive or idea of politics than to get

"OLIVER" IsAA0.

The New York World publishes q very
picturesque account of how and why Govern
or Gray left the Republican party and joined
the Democracy. According to the narrative,
the impelling cause Of his change of base was
his disspproval Of the Republican policy of
reconstruction in the Southern States. He
remained with the Republicans as long as he
possibly could, and when his conscience and
self-respect would not permit him to remain
longer he joined the Democracy. It is further
related that Senator Morton, then the recog-
nizsd leader of the Republican party in Indi-
ana, pleaded earnestly with Gray to keep him in
the party, offered him anything he might
want in the way Of political preferment etc.,
but his overtures were firmly repealed, and
Gray, following the dictates of his conscience
This is very pretty story, and would
make fine subject for an historic
painting. 1t reads as If it might have been
written on the same typewriter with the reso-
luton indorsing Governor Gray, adopted at
the recent State convention. But to the we'll
informed it is painfully lacking in verisimili-
tude. and widely divergent from the truth Of
history. The fact is Governor Gray was an
ardent Republican during the reconstruction
period. and II he disapproved of the party's re-
construction policy he never made it known.
II he had left the Republican party on that
account no would have Johnsonized in 1865
or 1870. but he continued to act with the Re.
publican party until 1872. He was an aspir
ant for the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor that year, and his failure to get II wal
tho cause of his leaving the party. The idea
of Senator Morton wrestling with him to hold
him in the party is too ridiculous. The plain
truth Is that having held up his plate and
failed to get what he wanted from the Repub
leans he went over to tho other side, wher,
no has boon holding up his plate over since.
