FULL OF FIGHT.
The arrivals OF to-day are as full OF
fight as they were four years ago, when
they did sogmuch.to ,Eins she nOmina-
tion for Harrison at Chicago. The chief
speaker OF the party this afternoon was
Mr.. Mr.. Spiel, OF indianapolis. He
said:
"The Blaine sentiment in this
country is by no peanR as strong as
people have beenled. to abelieye. It can
be moro prope erly lied an. anti-Har-
risoli 8enrmentl ~ esfr6m Indiana are
here to fight long and hard and to
win the fight, too. There is no shadow
OF doubt but that Harrison
will be renominated. There may be a
slight clash with the opposition, but it
will amountto. nc. more lthan;a skirmish
in comRarisoR decisive battle.
After this preliminary brush we will go
in and win. We have the delegates
with which to do it and it is the height
OF foolishness TO talk about any serious
opposition to the President"
Speaking OF Blaine let me say that
it would besery bad politics, conceding
for the moment that it can. be done, to
set aside man whose administration
has been the pride Of the country and q
man who defeated Cleveland four years
ago for a man who was beaten by Cleve.
land.
When the delegates get down to busi-
ness and the dust these calamity howl
ers have raised has settled this will be
seen as clearly US We see 1t now"
The 1ndianians are the most enthus-
iastic men who have yet arrived at
Minneapolis. They talk Harrison every
where and all tho time, as Il this fayorite
does not win it will not be because they
are not doing all they can for him.
