Views of Republican Editors of In.
diana on the Convention.

The Philadelphia ticket and platform are
about as near all right as things ever get
in the political world.-New Albany Trib-
une.N
The nomination of Roosevelt recalls to
mind that Dewey predicted Bryan would
be whipped to a finish this year.-Rich-
mond Item.
Mckinley. Roosevelt and a platform that
appeals to the good. SOUND sense of the
country, forms a combination that is sure
to win.-Muncie Times.
With two such men at the head of the
Nations affairs only good can come to
the people, because their sagacity. wisdom.
character and force will stand between
the people and any wrong measures which
may be attempted against their interests.
-Elkhart Review.
The Philadelphia platform succeeds the
st. Louis platform, and like 1t, in due
time will be woven into the history of the
United States. 1t is a vigorous, far-reach-
ing. brave and thoroughly American plat
form, sound and patriotic in every word.
-~Shelbyville Republican.
Mckinley and Roosevelt. Every faction
of the Republican party is united on this
ticke and good citizens of every class
will rally to its support. 1t inspires conf
dence. arouses enthusiasm and stands for
all that is wise, safe, sure and strong in
Observation-Disclosures Call.
With such men, bearing clean, honest,
earnest. patriotic records. there can be no
doubt of the result before the people. 1t
will be an overturning of all previous rec
ords in the Electoral College when the
people have Chance to be heard next
MISUNDERSTANDING Journal.
Never before was so strong a ticket pre-
sented on so strong a platform and the
Republican party rejoicing as a strong man
to run a race goes before the people of
Its past flumining and making bright the
shining path of national destiny which
leads straight forward and upward.-Craw-
louisville Journal.
The pledges of the Republican party in
the past nave invariably been redeemed
and no man could ask more than is prom
ised in the brief, concise yet broad and
unambiguous declaration upon which the
party takes its stand for Endorsement this
year. 1t is a winning platform and Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt is a winning ticket.
Wabash Plain Dealer.
1t is a clear and ~succinct statement of
the course which the party has adopted
and. will continue to pursue. There is not
a word In it that is not consistent with
what the party really does and means to
do when IL is in power. II ought TO be and
will be satisfactory to every Republican
and to everybody else who reads the his
tory of his country TO any purpose and
with an eye TO its welfare in future.-Ma-
rion Chronicle.
The best proof of the determination of
the Republican party to keep abreast of
the times and the movements is in the
modification of some of the principles
which il has held in the past, among them
its modified expression on and policy re-
garding the protective tariff, and its will
lingness to so administer that policy as
TO benefit the laborer first and enlarge the
opportunities of capital last. Its policy
now is to protect labor, not to surround
capital with unnecessary opportunity.
-Elkhart Review.
The ticket made at Philadelphia is all
hat the Republicans of the country can
ask. Headed by President Mckinley, who
has been tested and tried for four years
and been found equal to any emergency.
ii would have been considered a sufficient
guaranty 10 the country. II a man of no
particular consequence had been selected
for Vice President. But when to the name
of President Mckinley is added that of
Governor Roosevelt for Vice President the
the ticket.-Columbus~ Republican.
The ticket. the platform and the record
are good enough.-Madison Courier.
That's all right" that suits me-" "the
strongest ticket they could nave nomi-
nated,'' they couldn't have made it bet
ter" they can't beat it. / don't care
what they do" such were some of the ex-
pressions heard from Republicans as they
read the bulletins announcing the nomina-
ton of Mckinley and Roosevelt for Pres.
fdent and Vice President. No ticket ever
nominated has awakened such enthusiasm
as will the Republican ticket this year
-Vincennes Commercial.
This is the peoples ticket. 1t is the
strongest combination that could possibly
nave been put together by the convention
and is the best that was ever presented
to the voters of this country for their
SURFACES. That il will win upon the splen.
did platform adopted by the convention
there is not a particle of doubt in thu
minds of unprecedented men. Every factor

The American flag never represented 81
