Mr.. Orlando N. Packard, a prominent
citizen Of Plymouth. Ind. and national bank
examiner for the Heqssr State. Is at wn-
lari's Hotel, accompafsfed by Mrs Packard.
Both are on pleasure bent visiting New
York aud Southern watering places, and
Incidentally taking in ~. Capital.
Mr.. Packard ID q Dehocrat of the old
school, for the party always. for its ,prin-
ciples ever. foe to factionalism nd an
apostle of harmony. Buu notwithstanding
hts interest in Democrdtic prospects in
Indiana, lie was more e& ger to dwell on
the good business outlook hylie approached
by o Times man this morning As a
national bank examiner his opportunity
of g,iagfug commercial progress has been
good. aud the result has been satisfactory
to him.
From the LIST Of April, or rather from
the early spring, ri said ne, 1.-THE 119
national banks Of Jntliana have showed a
phenomenal increase In loans and dis
counts, and . decrease IN deposits out of
all proportion b. the figures shown at the
corresponding figure last year The key
note OF this state of things 10 that there
has been q remarkable Increase OF con-
fideDce, and a. q corallary, a hopeful
stability and outlook In the bu siness
condition of the State and country.
You know that not very lung ago 1t
was almost imposribAe to borrow from
the national banks on any kind of col
lateral Now borrowers have no difficulty,
though their securities are no better than
they were during the period Of financial
depression. All in all, business people
and the people generally, have every
reason to be satisfied with the situation
They will be still more satisfied as time
goes on"
Coming back to the political outlook In
Indiana, Mr.. Packard wasenthusiastic. All
the good onens and prospects glistehed
on the Democratic banner To begin with,
the improved business situation had done
much to make barren the evil seed sown
by the Republican calamity howlers. The
dire things that were to visit the country
under enOcratic rule bad not material
lied, but in their place were coming bless
ings. n aterial and natural, that were most
unexpected.
All this would help the party, not only in
Indiana, but all over the country. A for
tuitous circumstance for the Indiana DEM
ocrats was, Mr.. Packard believed, the
passage OF the Nicholson bill, which in
flicted needless and drastic hardships on
the liquor men.
1t had many good points, of course. but
1t was necessary in the face ofthe existence
Of a most stringent liquor law that had
served served all purposes. The Germans
especially would revolt against the Re-
publicanparty. The law was now on appeal
in the supreme court of the State.
Mr.. Packard believes that il Gov Mat
thews should consent to be candidate
for the Presidency and he was thought to
he an aspirant, he would have the united
support of the Democracy of the State.
There were, Of course, factions in the
party, but factionalism would be a cipher
with Matthews in the field. Apart from the
governors personal popularity, his great
strength was his wellknown conserya-
tisni.

II have Just rctnrnsd." said he, from

! have been for the past few weeks enjoy
ing the deig htful climate and scenery
of Ashville. 1 Deven felt more sanguine
of the ultimate success pf the free coinage
OF silver than now. The idea is a popular
and q growing one, and think the con-
ference Just ended will do much to pro-
mote silver Interests
''Grover Cleveland has done more to ruin
the Democratic party than a ny other ctorI
know OF, and when some papers talk OF
Dominat ating him for a third tenn 1t makes
me tired. Why, l don't believe the man
could carry q half-dozen States. 1 don't
know who the nominee OF the party will
be, but whoever IL chosen will have to stand
on a free silver platform. New York and
Pennsylvania are both IN favor of silver
coinage on a ratio OF 16 to1 and believe
can be easily carried by any loyal silver
candiate."
