CHAIRMAN HERNLY EXPECTS AN EN-
THUsIAsTIC LOT of DELEGATES.
A Two Dnys' Session VIII BE Held In
Tomlinson Hal1-List of the
Candidates.

party leaders are counting on one Of the
largest and most successful political meet
ings that has ever been held in the hall.
This promises to be the largest and most
enthusiastic convention in this State for a
long time" said Charles s. Hernly, chair
man of the state central committee to a
Journal reporter yesterday. I'VE have a
splendid list of candidates from which to
nominate popular and winning ticket, and
from the interest now being manifested by
the respective candidates and their friends
the turnout of the people at this great feast
OF Republicanism promises to be extraor-
binary. The Republicans are confident of
carrying the State by a very large majority,
and are consequently feeling good and iubi-
liant at this time, and are more than anxious
to get into the campaign. We have a most
thorough and excellent organization
throughout the State, perfected in every
detail and ready for the battle. The local
committees everywhere are reporting acces-
sions to our ranks, and the best of har-
mony and good feeling prevail through the
whole organization. The party is standing
in solid column ready to move in a VIC
torious approval of the splendid administra-
ton of President Mckinley and the war
policy. Our platform will be aggressive on
the money question. and Indiana Repub-
licans will occupy the proud position in the
commercial world that they now hold on
this great question and our proud Indiana
will remain at the head of the list against
fiat money and reputation.
Feel encouraged? I should say 1 do.
Why not feel encouraged when we have so
recently emerged from a Democratic adj
ministration that borrowed money to pay
af A inf m
a condition where a popular loan to the
people was promptly subscribed in seven or
eight times the amount asked for at per
cent. interest; when we have emerged from
time, under a Democratic administration,
when you could not get a dollar from any
bank on a bill of lading for any kind Of
property. to time when money is plenty,
interest low and labor well employed at
good wages? don't want to say anything
about the war now, but will discuss it
later. 1t is good enough, and. as you well
know the people vote the Republican ticket
in perilouS times"

didates will begin arriving and will open
