Joseph b. Healing was elected Republic
an committeeman of the Seventh district

clamation. The convention was made up
Of 116 delegates from Marion county and
ing was called to order at o'clock by H.
S. New, the retiring district chairman, and
Hiram NJ. B. Rowland was chosen to pre-

cheer:
Resolved. That we, the delegates to the
Seventh district convention, in convention
assembled, do heartily indorse and approve
the administration of William Mckinley,
President of the United States.
And We do further indorse and approve
the actions and doings of the Hon. Charles
W. Fairbanks and the Hon. Albert j. Bev-
eridge, senators representing the State of
Indiana, and of the Hon. Jesse Overstreet,
congressman Of the Seventh congressional
district of Indiana, for their steady and un-
wavering support OF the policies Of the
administration. We commend them not
only for their support of the adminstra-
ton, but for their position on all public
questions before the people. and especially
for their able efforts to uphold the hands
of the President and the government in
the conduct of the Philippine war, and for
their Industrious efforts in behalf of sound
money and the establishment Of the gold
standard"
Mr.. Kealing's name was presented by
A. A Young and the selection was unani-
nous. A committee composed of Larz
Whitcomb, of this city, and j. B. Luy-
ster, of Johnson county, escorted Mr..
Healing into the room and he thanked the
convention for the honor conferred on him
in the following language:
'T thank you heartily for this unanimous
expression of your confidence. In accepting
l desire to say that / shall do all in my
power and to the best of my ability, with
the aid of each and every Republican in
this district, to win glorious victory next
November that shall forever wipe out Bry-
anism and free silver.
81 do not feel that this is either the time
or place to attempt to forecast what the
Republican platform in the next convention
will be, but, whatever 1t is, the people will
know that every pledge made will be re-
deemed. Before the next Republican ma
tional convention meets every promise
made in the last convention shall have
been fulfilled. Our standard bearer is al
ready named, not alone by the politicians
but by the people of the country, who are
ready, by their votes, to indorse the wise,
just and patriotic administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley.
Indiana has reason to be proud of the
part she has taken in the history of the
Republican party in the last four years.
Thirty delegates representing the State of
Indiana in the last convention unanimously
cast their votes for William Mckinley.
Thirty delegates cast their votes for plat
| form in favor of a protective tariff and
sound money, and a large majority OF the
voters of the State cast their ballots for
| William Mckinley and sound money. Thir-
| ty delegates will again cast their votes for
| that matchless leader, and we will carry
| the State by a larger majority than before.
I'm 1896 we voted for William Mckinley
and prosperity. In 1900 we will vote for
| William Mckinley, the continuance of pros
perity and the honor of our flag. In fulfill
| ing the promises made In the last conven-
| ton Indiana has taken the lead. Here it
was that the sound-money men held their
national convention and built up the organ
ization that contributed so much to our
victory. Our own able congressman, Mr..
| Overstreet, has had the honor of intro
ducing and pushing to final vote the bill
| for sound money. We are represented in
| Congress by nine able and worthy repre-
sentatives in the House and two senators
| who are the peers of any. Twice in less
| than twenty years the Republican national
convention has looked to Indiana for a
| leader and after William Mckinley shall
| have served four more years you need not
be surprised If the eyes of the Republican
party again turn toward INDIANA Tor
| standard bearer.
twenty-five years ago the word Hoo
| sier' was a slur; to-day ii is compliment.
For who is there in al! this great state that
| is not proud of our Hoosier State, the home
| of Morton, Harrison, Fairbanks and Bev-
| eridge?
''The Republican party was never more
| united and harmonious in the State than ii
\ Is now. In the Seventh district the Re-
publicans have joined hands in good faith
| 10 fight against the common enemy. Per-
| sonal feeling has been laid aside for party

| time the welfare of our party is the well
