THE DISTRICT CONVENTIONS.
Comments of Republican County Papers on
the Endorsement of General Harrison.

Columbus Republican: If ever there was
spontaneous and hearty indorsement OF any
man il is CT Harrison by the Republican party
of Indiana Almost every district, county and
township convention has unanimously recon-
mended him. This was all by the common peo-
p not ct vet It i + at the
work, every Republican in Indiana will be
found to be part of the machine, and its work
will be to grind the Democratic party.
Fort Wayne Gazette: The delegation is now
undoubtedly q representative one and
which may be relied upon to well represent In
diana at Chicago While it will cordially sup
port General Harrison, it will not be delega-
ton to prevent the nomination of General
Gresham. If he 10 the choice of the convention
outside of Indiana Taat is all that any
could desire no matter who Is his personal
preference. and one, and least OF all, Re-
publican should pay any attention at the howl
ing of Democratic prints about bad feeling in
the Republican party
Richmond Palladium Thus the Republicans
Of Indiana go into convention in solid column in
support of the candidacy of their distinguished
feliow-citzen. That they will succeed in secur-
ing his nomination is more than probable. if
they stick firmly TO him under al, circumstances
The convention dare not safely ignore Indiana,
because Indiana. won from the Democracy, de-
feats them, and MAKES the election OF q Demo-
crat impossible. Harrison certainly carry
the State. and 1t is not certain that any other
man can. 1t therefore becomes almost neces
sity to nominate him. and this must be the re-
suit if the Indiana delegation remains united
and firm to the end In his support
Vincennes Commercial: This State on Thurs
day unanimously Endorsed Senator Harrison
for President. It seems that State pride would
be quite enough TO bring about such consum-
nation, but that reason alone, when weighed
fairly, is not very good one. But there Is
abundance OF evidence to believe that the in
dorsement of Mr.. Harrison has been from other
and higher reasons. The unprecedented gains
he made 10 the uneven race in 1886 proves his
popularity with she people of Indiana and his
great leadership. His hold upon the affections
of the people has been sure and solid growth
through ali the years of his eventful political
life. and the present Endorsement for President
is one of implicit faith IN his superior abilities
and his special fitness 10 be at the head OF
tional affairs.

considerations. and patrioticaiIy leave the mat
ter with the representative Republicans of this
