The brief address of Mr.. Beverage, yes
terday, before the organization of business
men who labored in his behalf during the
senatorial campaign, was admirable in spirit
and temper. The nominee for senator ex-
hibited a keen appreciation of the dignity
and responsibility of the position, and in
well-chosen. modest words indicated his be-
lief that success could only be achieved by
patience. hard work and diligence. Mr..
Beveridge possesses all these qualities, and
in addition is a speaker of unusual force and
eloquence. When to these qualities is added
a keen intelligence and tireless energy, it
will be seen that his equipment is such as
to make him a useful and successful men,

Mr.. Beveridge still Overwhelmed with
CONGRATULATIONS.

Congratulations.
The clerks in the Office of Albert j. Bever-
idge constituted about the busiest force in
town yesterday; so heavy was the mail that
came to their employer congratulating him
on the result of the senatorial caucus. 1t is
estimated that 1900 letters arrived during
the day in addition to another half bushel
of kilograms Of a congratulatory nature.
Mr.. Beveridge spent part of the morning
in his Office, but was there but little of the
afternoon. One of the prettiest compliments
he has received came in the nature of
bouquet of flowers from little Jeanette
Harvey, the four-year-old daughter of Law
son M. Harvey. Mr. Beyeridge is popular
with the children as well as their parents.
and he and little Miss Harvey have been
special friends. When the little lady heard
that her friend had been nominated to a
nigh Office she said to her mother that she
desired to send him some flowers. She did
so ana accompanying the roses was a card
bearing her name and best wishes. YeSter-
days mail brought to MIR. BeVeridge a note
from Freddie Mayer. the little son of Ferd
Mayer. The missiVe read: Dear Mr.. BeVer-
idge--l want to congratulate you on your
erection; ] hope you will have success in the
Senate"
Many of the letters received yesterday
were from worhingmen, which indicates the
popularity of Mr. Beverage among the toll
erS. One of the letters was from a work
ingman in this city. He wrote: Dear Sir
/ am a working man. | do not know you,
but wanted 10 see you senator, and l am
glad you have Won" Another letter was
from a farmer of Hendricks county. Kind
sir, he began, II do not know you, but L
heard you speak once, and have read what
you have said. am anxious for you to sue
ceed and j take this method of letting you
know that / am glad"
One of the first letters Mr.. Beveridge
opened on Wednesday morning was an inVi-
tation from the Union League Club. OF Phil
adelphia, requesting his presence at a din
ner to be given on Feb. Is, celebrating the
anniversary Of the birth of Abraham Lin
coin. Yesterday Mr. Beverage decided to
accept the invitation and notified the club OF
his acceptance.

My friends and supporters stuck to me like

The most remarkable language of General
Eagan in his remarks to the war commits
sion yesterday will give the country an idea
OF the bitter animosities existing among the
high officers of the United States army. Al
together, it is the most remarkable utter
Gnce ever made in public and official
manner by one army officer against another
It is not usual that an army officer APP
plies the epithet liar to a brother officer
but General Eagan reiterated it with all
possible variations One is not obliged to
read between the lines to foresee the out
come of such charges. They mean that
General Miles must sustain his charges or
be tried by court-martial. If General Miles
does sustain his charges the language Of the
eommissary general compels his court-mar-
tial and dismissal. The most searching in
vestigaton must now be made. There has
not been and there could not be any justin
cation for such language as that of General
Eagan.

The South Bend Tribune clearly misappre-
hends the purport of that portion of the bill
attributed to Mr. Foulke, regarding county
and township bookkeeping. The language
of the bill in regard to this point is as fol-
lows:
Said auditor shall have power to prescribe
blanks and other forms necessary in his
judgment to secure such uniform system of
bookkeeping and such blanks and forms
shall be used by such county and township
officers. and each of them; provided, how
ever, that nothing herein contained shall
prevent any Of said county and township
officers from keeping such additional ac-
counts as they shall deem necessary, or such
accounts as are already otherwise prescribed
by law.
The attention of Captain Hart who will
be auditor of state during the next two
years, being called both to the statement
of the Tribune and the language of the bill
here quoted, he said that he would regard
it as his duty simply to provide samples or
forms, leaving the officers in question to
supply themselves with the books and blanks,
as is now the custom

The Governor, and His STAFF in Uni
form, Received.

The Governor, and His staff in Uni
form, Received.
The annual reception rendered by the Gov
ernor to the members Of the Legislature
took place last night. In accordance with
the usual custom, the reception was given
in the Governors parlors in the Statehouse.
Many of the state officers and several men,
bers of the Supreme and Appellate Courts
were also guests of honor and a number of
well-known people in private life were pres
ent. The Capitol was brilliantly lighted,
the decorations were of lavish character
and the affair was pleasantly informal. AL
though the threatening weather kept many
away, the main reception room of the ex-
executive parIors was crowded all evening.
The hours for receiving were from until
10 o'clock.
In arriving, the guests entered the par
lors through the adjutant generals office
where they left their wraps. The American
flag was one of the attractive features of
the decorations, although the floral display
was generally admired. There were roses
in profusion and potted plants were abun-
dant The floral decorations were furnished
by the State horticultural Society and were
prettily arranged. A great many of the leg
islators and state officers were accompa MED
by their wives. A large per cent. of the
men were in evening dress, and among the
ladies there were many very pretty toilets.
While the reception was in progress an or
chestra discoursed popular airs. Governor
and Mrs. Mount received the guests in the
large reception parlor. Near them We're
Secretary Charles y. Wilson and Mrs. Will
son. Nearly all of the members Of the Gov
eTnor's staff were present, all wearing full
uniform. Many of the staff were present
with their wives. Col. w. T.. English made
his first public appearance as member OF
the staff. He was accompanied by Mrs.
English The other members of the staff
present were Col. O. S. Runnels Col. Chas.

Outside Opinion.

There is in his life much to encourage
young men who are struggling for self-ad-
vancement. 1t was largely by hard work
that he went through college. But his per-
sistence and natural abilities gained the day
and there follows now, as there should,
well-earned reward.-Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune
Mr.. Beveridge is admirably equipped for
legislative service, and the Commercial pre-
diets for him a notable public career. He
has won a great prize in contest with states
men of the most conspicuous ability, and
there cannot be a doubt that he will prove
entirely worthy in the important place which
he is to fill.-LOuisVille Commercial.
He did not join the scramble for office.
His aims were high. By pursuing his ideal
he avoided making many enemies, the en-
emies petty politics always bring. While en-
doWed with undOubted talent and oratorical
ability of a high character, Mr.. BeveTidge's
success may be traced directly TO his indomi-
table perseverance in the face of greatest
difficulties and his devotion to an ideal that
led to something higher than, the dirty
arena Of ward politics.-Chicago Tribune.
Considering his age and political inexper-
enou the triumph of Mr.. Beveridge is a most
notable one. While it may be largely
ascribed to his reputation as a brilliant
orator, it cannot be said that his claim to
such signal honor rests upon forensic talent
alone. HIS selection to be the colleague OF
Senator Fairbanks and the successor of
Judge Turpie was popular tribute to char
acter, worth and ability as well as a recog-
milton of his valuable services to his party
in several campaigns.-Chicago Times
Herald.
Mr.. Beveridge is well known in Chicago as
an orator. His eloquence is not that of the
declaimer but that splendid combination
great thoughts and words fifty chosen Like
his predecessor, Mr.. Beveridge never showed
much aptitude in the arts OF politics, but in
a general way they present a sharp con-
trast. Mr. Beveridge was only one year of
age when Mr. Turpie first entered the SEN
ate. He is now only in the thirty-sixth year
of his age. He has the promise of a great
career. Indiana and the Senate are both to
be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Inter Ocean.
There are no bosses and usurpers in In
diana to control the action of the Repub-
lican legislators, and the senatorial candi-
dates all felt that they had fair field.
The caucus is to be warmly congratulated
upon its choice. Albert ]. Beveridge, the
distinguished Indianapolis orator and
lawyer secured the nomination on the
twelfth ballot at yesterdays caucus, and his
victory will be generally recognized as the
just reward Of merit honorable political
service and ability of a high degree His
rivals We're strong and worthy men. which
adds to the distinction Of his success.-Chi-
cago Post.
