mar of the state Of Indiana states
that Judge =, Gresham, in appriz-
ing him of his Intentions, in
formed him by letter that he did not re-
fuse the presidential nomination because
he was not in sympathy with the party,
but for reason that was entirely person
al and political. "Iow do you like that
for piece Of news ?" said Mr.. Teubeneck.
at means that one speech from Judge
Gresham, no matter whether he makes
more than one in our favor, setting forth
the object of our intentions and endorsing
our platform, means over 500, 900 votes
of, the Peoples party that we would not
have been able to control otherwise.
What tlnttering prospect now in In
diana, the encouraging reports received
from the south, and the silver states
behind, We have good cause to feel hope.
