srteis 10 the Indianapolis Journal
FORT WAYNE, Ind. Juno T.-The conn.,
dent hopefaluess of the Republicans OF
Indiana is the most notable feature of the
great gathering here. Ii is even more OF
topic of conversation among the delegates
than the chances of the various candidates.
Ex-Governor George w. Steele voiced this
general feeling tais evening while talking
in o group of prominent Republicans. when
he said: There is no doubt in my mind
that the President IS much stronger now
than he was four years ago. There has
been no point of weakness in his splendid
administration. Mr.. Reid is recognized as
q strong and clean man. He Is q good news.
paper man, and as minister to France he
performed great and unusual service to
American farmers and Americans generally
in raising the pork embargo and promoting
commercial relations with that country.
80 far as Cleveland IS concerned, it is
unfortunate for him that he did not havo a
single vote from his own Stste that on
the contrary, the delegates from the State
of New York were there actively opposing
his nomination, declaring in the most en-
phatic terms that he could not carry that
State, and giving good reasons why he
could not. Then they missed the oppor.
tunity of nominating Gray, who is recOg-
nized as being the most astute politician
the Democrats have In Indiana. / cannot
see how Gray can possibly have any heart

from his own State were for him
actively and earnestly for first place
on the ticket. and whore those eighteen
votes were bareaned off to some imag-
mary person. in authority, for the vice.
presidency by the twelve Cleveland men,
and he failed to get In return any thing like
the vote he might have had for first place.
The logical conclusion is that. while the
Republican party goes into the race with
the confidence of the Republican voters and
of the business world in its candidates, the
Democratic party must 60 into it handi.

Policy" exclaimed big Dan

policy? What a smooth, slippery, ser
pentine sound the word has-fit for
the lips of a canting h%ypoerite, a

whitewash with which a society,
composed of things unclean, covers
