Owing to the protest by the state of
Connecticut against naming the new
monitor after the state. the secretary
OF the navy has decided to select some
other state for that distinction. The
people Of Connecticut based their OBJ
jections on the ground that their state
was entitled 10 higher dignity In the
naval register than could possibly be
conferred by mere monitor, especial
~ as other states, including her small
neighbor,. Rhode Island, had been hon
ored In the naming Of battleships. All
four Of the big monitors authorized by
congress were named after states of
the Union-Arkansas, Connecticut,
Florida and Wyoming-and so far Con-
necticut Is the only state to decline the
honor. The navy department was
guided in the matter by the fact that
there are not enough battleships to go

Washington Post: Some Of the la
test visitors to Indiana and to political
headquarters in Chicago, aver that the
Republicans are not half so confident
OF Indiana as they appear to be. One
feature Of the large claims for many
states is an admission that the Repub-
lican majorities will be reduced. This
applies equally to counties in Indiana,
and when the small Hoosier majority
of four years ago is taken into account
it will be remembered that reduced Re-
publican majorities in many counties
would bring the total vote down to a
very dangerous point. A report has
been current that Mr.. Bryan was so
confident that Indiana was Democratic
he would cancel his dates there, but
as a matter Of fact Mr.. Bryan has
made no further dates to speak in In
diana, only saying that he would come
again If he could spare the time, which
was doubtful.
