Committee, last week issued address to the
party in the State assuring it that Indiana is
Republican. having become so by reasen of
gains in the last fortnight. 1t is believed the
30-day poll demonstrated that the party is in
splendid condition for success It is certain
that all factional spirit has become thing of
the past. The accessions from the Democracy
have been very large. Mr.. Gowdy's confident
tone is manifested in the following, which
opens the letter addressed to the Republicans

Republican party in Indiana sustain the State
Committee in the conviction, as in the past SO

tire until the vote of the party is fully cast and
fairly counted"
In speaking of the address Mr.. Gowdy said ::

honest money and State taxation have COM

says that for the past eight weeks there has
been an exceedingly active and lively campaign
in Nebraska. Thousands of old soldiers" he
says "are leaving the Peoples Party, dis

ceived in the South. The agriculturalists
bitterly resent the assaults made upon their
State by the Democrats, and will show that
resentment at the polls" Senator Paddock
adds that he is confident Kansas will give a
majority of $4,000 for Harrison and Reid, and
that he considers the West safe for the Repub-
lican ticket.
