are only asking that their man be given the vote
in case of HarrIson's failure. This is practical

Kniehrstown Banner: The effort to force the
Gresham boom to grow and flourish in Indiana
soil is about the hardest and most proftles1
task that lot of disgruntled politicians
undertook. The Republicans of Indiana are for
General Harrison almost to man. They have
no quarrel with Judge Gresham. They respect
his talent aud think that he is In the proper
place now. Their support of Harrison does not
flow from any desire to antagonize any other
candidate, but from their confidence in his abil-
ity, his honesty and his availability. Those are
the factors that make up General Harrisons
strength.

that Mr. Gresham should make way in bis
