name of General Harrison to the convention,
he said:
:" When in 1880, Roscoe Conkling visited In

of that year, he was asked on every hand How

she would go, and in November New York and
the Nation echoed her October voice. Indiana
is no longer an October State. Yet now in
1883, as before in 1880, she largely to hold
the key of the position. She is always re-

Republican party is thoroughly organized, when

Indiana seldom fails to elect the Republican
candidates. She has never been better org an

now; the preliminary work has never been more
complete and thorough; and the Republican
masses seem never to have been more highly

1.-THE convention that lately met at ST. Louis
disappointed the Democracy of Indiana by re-

ticket. There Is a tide in the affairs of parties
as well as OF men which taken at the flood leads
on to fortune. The present condition of Indi-

benjamin Harrison came to Indiana in 1854
OF the age Of 81. He came poor in purse, but
rich in resolution. No one ever heard him
make first reference to his ancestors Self
reliant, he mounted the back of prosperity
without the aid of a stirrup. The hospitality of
his ancestors had given their prosperity to
those whom they had served. The core
had gone to the people, the rind only
to them and their families. He received, in
deed, something from them-their talents,
their integrity, their fitness for public trusts,
misfortune, but to heart stout as his
was, the highest good fortune-he received
from them the inestimable legacy of penury.''
After reviewing the Generals life, he CON
tinued:

commended to your favor another distinguished

ton is denoted by the manner in which she
treats those who have served her faithfully.

honorable gentleman, brave and just judge
and heroic soldier, whom the gentleman from
Illinois has commended II the roll of Indiana S

The speaker then enumerated the public
services of General Harrison, and ended by
saying that "the people of Indiana are waiting
with open arms for the message that shall tell
them that Benjamin Harrison, their soldier
statesman, has been nominated for President

knew that it was only by the use of all the re-
sources of the Nation that success could be won.
So we find him in the legislation of that day

the treasures of the Nation with unstinted hand
to meet all the acquisitions of the Commander

him striving on all occasions to pay, so far as
