 TIE indications grow stronger that President Harrison is to be the republican candidate in 1892, and that ex-President Cleveland is not to be the democratic candidate. IfSenator Hill of New York is not the nominee of the democrats the candidate will come from the west. This is the way the thing looks now. Cleve- land has much strength with an import ant element of the democratic party; It's best element, in fact, yet his friends are facing the fact that it is not policy to force his name so long as he cannot be backed by the delegation from his own own state. Chicago has been chosen as the place for the meeting of the demo- cratic national convention. As between Blaine and Harrison there will be no strife. Neither cares to wrest it from the other and the matter will be practically settled before the republican convention meets. Indiana, which has been declared to be up in arms against the renomination of the president, refutest the story bysend- ing united Harrison delegation to Min neapolis.

But there is large building little farther to the north that we must visit next, passing on ourway there the water towery keeping in the rear of those big guns. The front of this building is the original building erected by Mir. Fitch, and now contains on the first floor the business office of the home and the rooms of the assistant super intendent and adiutant. The upper floor was originally intended for an art gallery, and at one time contained number of paintings valued at $60, ,00O, but that val uation would not be realized, think, at 8 sale. These paintings have not been stolen nor spirited away; some of them now hang in the business office, the oth- CTS are carefully packed away, and 1t is the intention of the officials to hang them up in the various wards. The art gallery is now used as dormitory, or ward as they term them there. An extension of this building to the rear, something like a block letter IT. furnishes three more wards.

Lastly this glorious Union, brighter
