The name of Hon. Charles W. Fair.

follows:
"l'rom tho convention halls at Min.
neapolis was issued clear platform OF
principles that represent the unani-
nous and enthusiastic voice OF the Re-
publican party. Protection and reci-
procity. honest money and an honest
ballot, challenge the support OF all
American people. These are the ele-
ments OF Republican faith. Not sec
tional, but national. With admirable
discernment and perfect fitness the con.
vention selected rs the embodiment OF
these principles, Harrison and Reid.
The Republicans OF Indiana arc not d.
vided in their support Of the national
platform. On no essential plank are
they opposed. They all face in one di-
recton on the great questions OF protec-
ton and reciprocity, but what a sub.
lime spectacle was presented by the In
diana delegation TO Chicago-the i'm
personation OF the divine spirit OF har-
mony. II there was entire accord up
on any single proposition as to the
men or measures, it has not been made
manifest. We find the thirty delegates
from Indiana dstride the Democratic
free trade plank, fifteen facing one way
and fifteen tho other, all going in the
same direction, however-to inevitable
defeat"
Tho speaker closed with an earnest
endorsement of the Mckinley bill.
