WILL NOT QUIT FIGHTING
Republican State Comm ittee Will Keep
Open House All the Year Round.
Chairman Gowdy Comedies the Landslide,
but Expresses Faith in the UndyIng
Strength of the Party.

The State committee headquarters were
not crowded yesterday, and the committee
quietly set about to close up the business
of this campaign. 1t was determined, how
ever. to keep the headquarters open in the
interim of campaign activity. For the
present the Denison House will continue to
be headquarters, and if change is made it
will be with view to selecting a perma-
nent situation. Chairman Gowdy last
night prepared the following open address
TO the party:
To the Republicans of Indiana:
The campaign OF 1892 is history. Our adver-
saries have achieved victory, the magnitude OF
which Is as much OF a surprise to them as to us.
The people of the United States have expressed
their preference for change OF an administra-
ton that is oonfessedly able and honest, and un-
assailabe at every point. Amidst unparalleled
prosperity at home and in the presence OF the
promise OF still more fruitful times. the people
have declared their preference for n change and
all loyal Republicans will respect their will.
The essential principles OF the Republican
party are undying. It is the party of the people.
1t stands for the interest OF capital and labor
against the world. 1t is for honest money and
an honest ballot 1t is against the gerrymander
which breeds extravagance. 10 demands q non
partisan management OF The great State instit,i-
tons 1t Is opposed to high taxes and demands
the most rigid economy in all public affairs.
The result OF Tuesday may for "a time postpone
the accomplishment OF these purposes, but it
cannot defeat it. The State committee proposes
to wage battle from this day until the sacred
of Republicanisn is triumphant. No
temporary defeat can dIssuade it from this pur-
pose.
The committee cannot allow this opportunity
To pass without thanking the various committees
ana clubs throughout the state for the splendid,
loyal. untiring work they have each and all done
In the campaign just closed nor can we fail to
express our appreciation of the admirable work
done by the Republican press.
While we have lost Indiana. we are pleased to
obserye that the Democratic majority of two
years ago has been greatly reduced. and that, by
comparison with other States. and. In view of
tho disadvantages they have had TO confront,
the Republicans OF Indiana have just cause for
qualification at the result OF their labors. and.
by i united. determined ana intelligent effort on
the part OF every lover OF good government, we
will soon place the state where it of right ought
TO be-in the Republican column.
The headquarters OF the state com mittee will
not close: they will he kept open. and NIL Repub-
licans cordially In vted TO call and assist in
fGrthering the organization OF DIR party.
Subordinate committees In counties and cities
should be strengthene led in every part aud every
effort made by them 10 render their organization
invincible and their endeavor successful at every
point. JOHN X. GOwDY, Chairman.
FRANK NJ. MILLIKAN, Secretary.
