''It gives me great pleasure to enter
che state Of Indiana. We, in the west,
have always looked upon Indiana as
friendly ground and to her people as peo-

upon a campaign which is drawing out
the intellect of all the people. have not

gold club? Why do they attempt to con-
ceal the word gold under the euphonious
