sertion generally is, for in the making of
Mr.. Beveridge his friends and admirers
played no small part and he was always
extremely fortunate in his friends.-Ander
son Bulletin.
The selection of Albert j. Beveridge for
United States senator by the Republican
caucus was an act of wisdom. Other men
were defeated who were good men. but the
successful candidate is a man Of whom the
eHtTe otdte is proud: As student. lawyer
ana orator ne has few equals and no SUI
periors in the State. That he is young
man is in his favor, for he is a growing
man, and full of Vigor. His lack of legis-
lative experience will soon be remedied.
His fame, which now extends to the oceans.
viii give Indiana added luster.-R Richmond

Mr.. Beveridge won a signal victory i'm this
contest. Having one senator from Indian
apolis, his location was against him, and.
with the leading candidate in the caucus.
also a young man. who was backed by sew
eral congressman and their influence. the
success of Mr., Beveridge is all the more
brilliant and complete. There We're of
course, other candidates who would have
been satisfactory to Putnam Republicans,
but the nomination of Mr.. Beveridge
reaches US with great deal of pleasure,
for in many respects he is a GreencaStle
man.-Greencastle Banner.
The election Of Hon. Albert J. Beveridge
for United States senator was a happy solu-
ton of the senatorial question. The race
was anybody's up to the hour of the eau
Gus The friends of all the candidates were
sangulne of success. While Mr.. Hanly had
the lead from the beginning and held 1t well
up to the last, yet the combination against
him was too strong and well organized.
Mr.. BeveridSe IS a man of eminent ability
as an orator and thnker-a gentleman of
brilliant attachments. We feel sure that In
diana will never feel ashamed of it's Junior
senator. He is ambitious and will make his
mark.-Noblesville Ledger.
The selection of Albert ]. Beveridge as
the Republican caucus nominee for United
States senator to succeed Hon. David Tur-
pie, is greatly gratifying to the young mans
supporters in the great contest, and ac-
ceptable to Indiana Republicans generally.
Although young man, scarcely thirty-six
years OF age, Mr. Bever1dge has already
liancy of mind and his ability as a public
speaker. This candidate or that candidates
seteGuon mheht nave better pleased certain
sections of the State than Mr.. Beverage,
out not one of the gentlemen would have
given more general satisfaction than the
caucus choice.-Frankfort News.
Albert j. Beveridge by whom Mr. Hanly
was defeated, has won an honor we'll de-
served, and his selection-local considera-
lions aside-gives eminent satisfaction. OF
no element in the contest can this be more
truly said than of the Hanlyites for they
recognize in BeVeridge the embodiment of
most of those qualifica lions which induced
their earnest support of the LAFAYETTE man.
He is young, loyal, brilliant, energetic and
promising, and the Republicans of Indiana
VIII find cause for cOngra tulation in the
fact that these worthy attributes should
have won the exceptional reward of such
splendid promotion. He has given the party
the best efforts of which he is capable. The
party in return pays him an honor seldom
won by one Of his yearS.-Lafayette Courier.
Through the long and somewhat heated
canvass, not syllable in personal detrac-
ton of Mr.. Beverage or any candidate has
appeared in these columns. At no stage in
the exciting contest has the Plain Dealer
forgotten that all the asprants are Repub-
Leans and that any one of them would
gracefully. and with dignity and ability
bear the honors of the exalted office. AS
remarked last week. the objection to Mr..
BeVeridge was one of locality alone Had
he lived in the northern half the State it
would have been pleasure to advocate his
election. He is Self-made man, in the
unobJecuonable sense of that much-abuSed
term, an orator as powerful as ne IS YER
satile, Il tireless worker and with a broad
intellectually and capacity for the grasp
of affairs which amounts to positive genius.
All these qualities has the Plain Dealer
recognized in the strong personality of Mr..
Beverage, and its sole regret in his election
IS that he resides in Marion cOunty.-Wa-
bash Plain Dealer.
The Republican legislative caucus NOM
mated Albert j. Beveridge for United States
senator. He is an able and clean man, and
perhaps will be more satisfactory to the Re
publicans of the State than any man that
could have been nominated. All the candi-
dates were good men, but Mr.. Beveridge
was the second choice of more persons than
any other candidate. The Republican has
not advocated the election of any particular
candidate for reasons that We're entirely
sufficient for us. But we have insisted that
because man resided in Indianapolis was
no good reason for not supporting him,
other things being equal. We believe that
the majority of the Republicans of the
eridge, although Judge Taylor had a strong
following. Mr.. Beverage is young, with
ambition and talent, and there is every rea-
son to believe that he will be a very useful
man. We believe that with the experience
that a six years term in the Senate will
give him that he will be recognized as one
of the able men of that distinguished body.
