should / particularly mention friends espe-
cially? All are friends. All who wear the
proud name of Republicans are friends.
N(Applause.) We only know one enemy; that
is the common enemy of our cause. thank
YOU again with all my heart and bid you
good evening"
Aftershis speech Mr.. Beveridge met near
~ all the members of the caucus and shook
hands with them. He was then invited to
the Governors parlors. and another pleasant
little reception was held. Secretary Wilson
said that in behalf of the Governor. who
was at home in his bed, he desired to con-
graduate the gentlemen on the happy re-
suit of the contest. Mr. Beveridge spoke
briefly and then entered carriage and was
driven to the Journal office. He was fol-
lowed by several of his friends. who after
ward took him to the Columbia Club and
then to the Marion Club. At both places
he was enthusiastically received.
Governor Mount at a very late hour last
night was informed Of the selection made
by the caucus. He said: II want to con-
graduate the Republican party on the work
OF the caucus tonight 1t has nominated
a clean man Of marked ability-a man who
combines wisdom with the fire and vigor
Of youth: lawmalzer who will defend the

q Cromwell. In a knowledge Of constitu-
tional law and statecraft he will measure
swords with the ablest in the United States
Senate. In masterful eloquence he will be
surpassed by none. He is a worthy col
league of Senator Fairbanks. The high
standard Of Indiana's great senators will
be elevated and not lowered by Albert ].
Beveridge.
Judge Taylor was found at his room at the
hotel in company with a few friends, where
they had been receiving the news, and ex-
pressed himself to a Journal reporter to
the effect that he accepted the result with
entire loyalty and would give to Senator
Beveridge his earnest and hearty support
in the high office to which ne had been
chosen. ITO the many friends said he,
who have given me their earnest and I'M
firing support, 1 am under greater obliga-
tons than I can express. much less repay.
In debts of gratitude l am bankrupt. with
infinite liabilities. To have been the re-
cpient of such devotion and confidence from
hundreds of Republicans throughout the
State is compensation which in kind is far
beyond any satisfaction which the posses
sion of the office could bestow. l know that
many of them will feel grieved at the
suit. But we are all Republicans. The
destiny Of the Republic is in our hands.
Outside the lines OF our party there is moth
ing but political chaos. In the presence of
these great interests and responsibilities our
individual hopes and ambitions are things
infinitely small. The acquaintance which
have been formed. the friendships renewed
and the condolences exchanged around my
candidacy are so many ties to bind us to-
gether in loyal devotion to the work which
lies before us in the years to come"
After the caucus had adjourned and the
crowd had returned to the Denison the other
candidates delivered brief addresses from
the stairway. Judge Taylor's address was
the gem of the occasion. The remarks of all
were filed with good Republicanism and
the hearty congratulations and promises Of
cooperation and good will.
